When Raven Parker moves to Salem she first thinks that she hates it there but when she meets the blonde haired bully Jay Taylor things don't seem so bad after all but will the two are faced with challenges will they stay together or will they fall a...
Mrs. Walla the 1000 years old teacher at Jacob Bailey Middle School gave me a dirty look but then again she has a dirty look always it might be because she's old. Just as I was thinking about Jay I heard my name being called. The wall-eye struck again. "Ms. Parker, can you answer the question." "What was that?" I asked her. "Where were you, daydreaming about a boy? I said what is the legend about the Sanderson Sisters." Yep that was the last straw. I have had it with The Sanderson Sisters.
"Well I believe that Halloween was invented by the candy companies and that The Sanderson Sisters legend was just to scare people. They never even were real! It's all just hocus pocus." I heard boos and gasps and hisses but it didn't bother me. Then a familiar voice spoke up. "I believe her. I mean the old hags never were real and Thackery Binx is made up by a drunk guy. How could a human turn into a cat?" I turned around to see who spoke. It was Jay! I haven't been so happy in my life! The boy I'm crushing on was saving me from a terrible fate. I smiled at him knowing an alliance when I saw one. He smiled back. Mrs. Walla looked like she was going to explode. Her face was all red and mad and she was giving me and Jay the death stare for real this time!
I honestly thought we were dead meat but then the bell rang and we ran like the building was burning. When we stopped to catch our breath I never realized that I could run that fast. Then Jay started snickering then I started giggling and pretty soon we were laughing so hard that we couldn't stop laughing and see straight. "Did you see the look on her face?"Jay laughs. "She looked like a giant tomato!" And then he got a weird look. "I don't know where we are at." He stated. I realized that we were in the middle of a forest. One that I didn't know. "We're lost," I cried. "Ok don't panic we can find our way out of here" he comforts me
He holds my hand. I could feel butterflies in my stomach when he did. His hand was warm and strong in my smaller one and he was wearing finger less gloves. I looked into his blue eyes and he looked into my purple ones. "I promise that I will get you home." Jay told me. I thought that my heart was going to burst when he pulled me into a hug. I mean like sure I didn't know the guy but it felt nice to have someone giving me a hug. The last hug I got is when my parents were still alive and that was 10 years ago. I snuggled into his warm body. He smelled like smoke and pine trees, a comforting smell to me. We stayed like that for a long time but that was OK with me. His body next to mine. Usually I don't like people touching me but this was OK. Just the two of us together. Not needing anyone or anything else. I wonder why he was doing this? Was he the kind of guy that views girls as prizes or did he like me? I hadn't been this calm in a while. It was nice to have him by me though. I didn't want to separate from him. I just wanted to stay by Jay's side forever.
When we did break away from each other I missed him beside me instantly. Jay was the first to speak. "Maybe we should find a way out of here?" He said. I nodded my agreement. We walked down the path for a minute and then I tripped over a rock and Jay steadied me. The path came to the little old church just behind the graveyard that we first met. I felt sad that our time together was coming to an end. Twilight had fallen and May was probably worried that I had been stolen or something. "Well goodbye and thank you for everything." I told him quietly. "Yeah see you at school Raven." And then he pulled me into another hug but this time shorter. I can feel his eyes on me but I don't look back.
When I arrived at the house Aunt May pulled me into a hug but it wasn't like Jay's it was less real and I pushed her away. Peter looked so tired and worried. I wondered what all the fuss was about because nobody really cared what I did. How would being late change that? "Raven Parker where were you?" Aunt May basically screamed at me. "Are you hurt? Why were you gone so long? Why do you smell like smoke?" Sheesh, this woman is going to give me a heart attack one of these days. "I got lost, OK. Wait, I smell like smoke? Hmm must be from when Jay gave me a hug. What's wrong with me being gone a little bit longer." "You have missed dinner and you haven't answered my question, why do you smell like smoke?" "I'm not smoking if that's what you're saying" I retorted. She seemed satisfied with my answer, Peter was looking at me questionably. "I'm going to bed," I said.
I ran upstairs and locked the door to my room and threw my black backpack on the ground. I felt my heart leap into my throat as something pounced on me. "Malice are you trying to scare the life out of me?" My Doberman barked at me and gave me a sloppy lick on the cheek. Malice was a black and rust Doberman with his tail dock and he was huge. Huger than most Dobermans. When he was a puppy I had his ears pinned and his tail docked. I jumped up onto my bed and Malice jumped up beside me. I looked at Malice and he stuck his tongue out at me in friendly pants. "What would I ever do without you boy." He barked at me. Dobermans are really just misunderstood dogs. People think that they are aggressive but really they just bond to one person. They're loyal, brave and playful. I mean like Malice kinda hates anyone besides me but he doesn't attack unless I tell him to. Other than that he just growls at people including aunt May and Peter.
"Guess what happened today. I just got a hug from a boy and his name is Jay and I think I'm in love." I told him. Malice whined at me and I pulled him into a hug. "Don't worry boy you'll always be my favorite person in the whole wide world,"I told him. "Would this make you feel better." I went over to my backpack and pulled out the paper sack that had my lunch and got a piece of cake. Malice wagged his tail and I gave it to him. "Good boy." I praised him. As I got ready I thought about Jay. What did he think of me? What was his kiss like and I love the way he says my name. Malice gave a sharp bark that snapped me back into this world. There was a nock at the door. "Go away!" Who ever it was backed off and I Jumped into bed. Malice jumped up too And curled up in my arms. "Good night Malice," I murmured to him.

OK so the doberman is what Malice kinda looks like just Malice is meaner and bigger looking and I will be posting some songs that I think go along with Raven's personality. Tell me what you think of it so far!
