Lewis pov: When I woke up I realized that I wasn't in my room at the mansion. "Where am I?" I thought.
Then the incident from last night flooded my mind so I remembered that my friends and I are staying at our new friend Raven's house. "I'd better see if anyone's up." I whispered.
So I left Raven's parent's room then went to the kitchen where I found Raven making breakfast. "Raven, do you want some help?" I asked her, Raven jumped at my voice then turned around.
"Morning Lewis, how'd you sleep and no thanks." Raven asked me, I went to the table to wait for Vivi, Arthur and Mystery. "I slept very well." I answered Raven, she smiled in satisfaction.
Soon the others were awake thanks to the smell of pancakes. "Pancakes are my fav! Thanks Raven!" Vivi told Raven. "Yeah, thanks." Arthur said to Raven. "You're very welcome." Raven said to us.
After we ate all of us talked about what spell we should use to get home but there was a problem. "Without my spell books we won't be able to use any spells." Vivi explained to us, we sighed at that.
"You know, there is an old bookshop that sells spell books." Raven spoke out loud, we looked at her in surprise. "There's a bookshop that sells spell books?" Mystery asked Raven, she nodded 'yes'.
"Some people like to try and use magic for their own reasons or to travel to other realms." Raven told us. "Is this bookshop close?" I asked Raven. "Only a few minutes away." Raven answered me.
"Then what're we waiting for? Let's go!" Arthur responded, I let my human form take over then we piled into Raven's car and took off. "Looks like another storm might come." Vivi commented.
I glanced at Raven silently asking if it would be like last night's. "No, Lewis. I doubt it will be." Raven answered me, I nodded back to her then looked out the window. "Is that it?" I asked Raven.
We stopped in front of an old building that looked a little crumpled and had vines growing on it. "Yep. This is it." Raven replied to me, we went inside and looked for as many spell books as we could get.
"Welcome back Raven." An old women greeted Raven, we turned to face her. "Happy to be back Mrs. Cross." Raven replied to Mrs. Cross, Raven paid for the books as she talked to store's owner.
Third person pov: When the gang got back to Raven's house they took the books to a different room. "This is my father's study. You can use this room to focus on the spell." Raven told her friends.
"Thanks Raven." The four friends said to Raven, she smiled then went to her room to wait for her parents to call since they'll be checking on her. "I hope they're having fun." Raven thought with a smile.
Meanwhile with the Mystery Skulls: The gang was looking for the right spell to open the portal. "I wonder what the right spell is." Arthur said out loud. "I bet if we work hard we'll find it." Vivi replied.
"But which spell is the right one?" Lewis asked the others, Mystery closely examined the spells and found one that mentioned the same type of lighting that Raven had seen. "I think I found it!" Mystery said.
Vivi, Lewis and Arthur looked at the spell. "Nice job Mystery!" Vivi cheered with a smile. "Thanks." Mystery replied with a smile, Lewis and Arthur looked at the a bit more. "Uh-oh." Arthur said out loud.
"What's the matter Artie?" Vivi asked Arthur, when he didn't respond Lewis took the book. "Looks like the spell can only can work on a full moon." Lewis answered, Mystery looked at the calender hanging up.
"There's a full moon this weekend." Mystery announced, the full moon was on the same day as the contest. "It'll be on the same day Raven's preforming." Lewis observed. "Should we tell Raven?" Vivi asked.
"We should let her know that way she'll know when we'll be leaving." Mystery answered Vivi, the gang agreed to let Raven know they found the spell just then the phone rang. "I got it!" Raven's voice rang out.
Back with Raven: When the phone rang Raven answered it. "Hello...yes this is she...are you sure? I see...thanks." Raven said softly, I couldn't believe what I had just been told the ship my parents were on had sank.
Raven hung up then stumbled down the stairs but ended up slipping and fell. "Raven?! Are you okay?!" Arthur asked Raven, she sat up and looked at him with a dazed look. "What's wrong?" Lewis asked me,.
"The ship my parents were on sank and no one can find my parents." Raven cried as tears fell, Arthur hugged Raven close and whispered comforting words to her. "I'm so sorry Raven." Vivi sincerely said.
"As am I." Lewis added, Mystery whined then nudged Raven soon she was out like a light. "I'll take Raven to her room." Arthur whispered, Vivi and Lewis nodded as Arthur put Raven on her bed to sleep.
"Raven...I know that this has hit you hard...but maybe you can come with us." Arthur whispered to the black haired beauty, he left Raven's room then went back to the others so he can tell them his plan.
A few hours later Raven woke up and sighed. "How could this have happened?" Raven thought, she went to her music studio then found the cello she'd gotten for her 10th birthday from her brother.
A clap of thunder was heard so Raven picked up the cello and played a beautiful but sad song started to play and Raven started to sing along to the song she knew by heart in Japanese since it was from Japan.
[Play Suna no Oshiro by Kanon Wakeshima]
[Raven]
Sotto nagareru
Shiroi
Kawaita kumo ga tooru
Hai iro no watashi wa
Tada jitto kiete iku no wo
miteta
Hoshi wo atsumete
Tsukuru suna no oshiro ni
Watashi no sasayaka na inori
Koborete ochiru
Sono ashimoto wo
Machibuseta nami ga sarau
A world of darkness.
A world of silence.
Kieka karu inori
Kaze ni aorarenagara
Sore demo tomori tsuzukete
Watashi ga ikudo mo motsure nagara
Hie yuku te de
Tsukuru suna no oshiro wo
Machibuseta nami ga sarau
A-anata e!
When Raven was done singing she put the cello away back into the case then went to see if the Mystery Skulls found the spell to reopen the portal so they can get home. "I'll be alone but happy for them." Raven sighed.
Arthur pov: We had heard the song Raven sang echoing throughout the house. "That song sure has a haunting melody." I said trying to lighten the mood. "Not funny." Lewis replied bluntly. "I know." I responded.
"I wonder where Raven learned that song." Vivi wondered out loud. "She must've learned the song from this." Mystery replied, we looked at the cover of a dvd called 'Vampire Knight'. "Looks like it." I answered.
Just then Raven appeared. "Did you guys find the spell?" Raven asked us. "We did but it'll only work on the day of the contest." Vivi answered. "I see...what do you guys want for supper?" Raven asked us.
"How 'bout we cook instead?" Lewis offered, Raven looked at us. "But you're guests and I wouldn't be a good hostess if I had make supper!" Raven told us, I grabbed her arm and dragged her to the table.
"We're going to cook and you're gonna sit here, okay." I commanded gently, Raven looked startled for a second. "Okay." Raven replied softly, Lewis, Vivi and I made spaghetti and meatballs for supper.
Once we were done eating Raven went back to her but before saying. "Thank you for the food." Raven said to us, I watched as she left for her room we waited for the door to close before talking to each other.
"Now do you think it's a good idea for Raven to come with us?" I asked my friends, the agreed with me. "Alright. We got the spell, we open the portal, Raven come us with and we're home free." Vivi told us.
"There's still one thing we need to figure out." Lewis replied. "What's that?" I asked him. "We still need to figure out who sent us here." Mystery answered, the air in the room became tense and heavy.
We all thought about who'd wanna get rid of us that's when I remembered seeing green smoke. "I think whatever possessed me in the cave sent us here." I told my friends. "What makes you say that?" Vivi asked.
"I saw green smoke before the portal opened." I answered her. "So that thing from the cave is still around?" Lewis asked me. "If that's true then not only are we in danger but so is Raven!" Mystery said to us.
We looked at each other as the air in the room became so tense and heavy that you could cut it with a knife. "Then we must protect Raven from that thing from the cave!" I declared to my friends.
I looked at them as they smirked and I knew why it was because I had fallen for Raven and maybe she felt the same way. "Arthur's right." Lewis replied, so we started planing a trap for the thing from the cave.
Alright! New chapter is up! I don't own the song I used in this chapter please review and no flames!
