Chapter 6
Raina's Point of View
After Nick went into his room, I leaned against the wall and sighed from both frustration and exhaustion. Feeling the need for fresh air, I went out onto the balcony and I wasn't the only one that seemed to need for fresh air. Delilah stood in silence, her long black hair and dress flowing behind her from the wind. I could've left and found somewhere else to sort through my thoughts, but after what I said today, I had to apologize to her.
"Hey." I said as I came up to stand beside her.
"Hey, shouldn't you be asleep?" she asked, knowing that I usually would be asleep by now.
"After today, I don't know if I'm capable of sleep." Was my answer, which made us both chuckle.
We sat in silence for a while, which felt nice since I don't remember when was the last time this happened. After a while, I decided to break the silence.
"I'm sorry for what I said earlier." I said, feeling guilty.
"I forgive you, but I think that you were right about what you said about what could happen. I know that after everything he did to me, I should hate him, but I don't." She replied, with a hint of pain in her voice.
What she said about Pitch, made me feel nothing but pain and regret. I was also amazed with how she doesn't hate him after everything.
"I can see the pain in your eyes, have you really given up on him?" She asked, and I was unsure with how to answer.
"I'm not sure." I answered and that was the truth.
After everything that has happened between me and Pitch, I've become unsure if it is worth it to try to bring him back to the way he was. Now that Razan is back, together him and Pitch will be even more stronger. I'm also not sure if I'm strong enough to stop them both and if I was willing, I'm not sure if I would be strong enough to destroy Razan and save the brother I lost so many years ago.
"Well I hope that when the time comes, you will do what's right. Whether that's saving your brother or destroying him." She said, which surprised me, and she started to walk away.
"What if I can't save him?" I asked, feeling unsure.
"Just do what you always do best, whatever you feel is right." Was her answer, and I was left in silence.
No One's Point of View
Deep in the shadows, where any normal person wouldn't dare to go, Pitch Black reluctantly went back to bring news to his master. Knowing that his failure would seal his doomed fate, he was rather surprised that he wasn't turned to ash when he told Razan all that had happened.
"I know, I could feel Raina's power. I could feel how much stronger it was when she sensed the boy's distress, but what puzzles me is how the boy's and Raina's powers seemed to have grown stronger once they were near each other." Razan stated with puzzlement.
"Stronger?" Pitch asked, also confused with the turn of events.
"Yes stronger, do I have to repeat myself twice before letting that sink into that thick skull of yours?" His deep voice rising due to his frustration, which made Pitch shrink back in fear.
"N-No my lord." Pitch stuttered out of fear.
"Good now learn to pay attention." Razan replied, and then started pacing.
Pitch gave his master some space, as Razan went back in forth lost in thought. Razan always knew that when Man on Moon choose Raina to be Mother Nature, that she would indeed be powerful, but looking through the eyes of one of a crow that he used as a spy, he noticed that she seemed to be more powerful than he realized. Then he stopped in his tracks as he realized something.
"What was she holding when she arrived?" Razan asked.
"She was holding her sword and staff." Pitch answered.
"Pitch I have a job for you, I want you to send your spies to continue keeping an eye on the boy, but also on Raina." Razan ordered.
"Raina?" Pitch asked in confusion.
"That girl should not be as powerful as she already is, I believe it has something to do with that sword of hers and I need you to confirm my suspicions." His master answered.
"What about the staff?" Pitch asked.
"That staff was given to her by Man on Moon, which mean's her powers are linked to it, but it would not make her more stronger." Was his masters answer.
"Very well my lord." Pitch replied, leaving his Razan to his own thoughts.
"Whatever game your playing, I assure you that you will lose." Razan said, looking at the only light in the darkness, which came from the moon.
