Final Battle

Raven

I was walking around aimlessly, I didn't know where Stella was, I didn't even know where Drake was. I looked down at my hands and my sword, they were all so bloody. I look back up, cracks were forming in the sky. Our world was falling apart. Eventually I came across someone sitting in the grass, he was silently crying.

"Drake?" I ask.

His sad eyes turn towards me. He cheeks were tear-stained. He looked like he was at his limit, one more thing and he would crack like an egg.

"Raven." He gasps.

I walk up to him and grab his arm pulling him up. He looks at me distantly.

"Why are you crying?" I ask as I wipe away his tears.

"Amnesia, she was back, she ignored me and left me calling for her!" He cried.

I pulled my brother into a hug and rubbed his back.

"It's okay Drake, I know you love her and I know seeing her hurt you, but we can't let it affect us. We need to carry on, besides I'm sure you'll find another girl." I whisper reassuringly.

He wipes his eyes and pulls away. He looked at me sadly then with confusion.

"Where is Stella?" He blurts out.

Hurt spread across my face. I looked down sadly and shrugged.

"I wish I knew." I sigh.

"Oh my god, I'm here crying like a baby about Amnesia with you comforting me when Stella is missing?" He gasps.

A small chuckle escapes my mouth. I look at him once more.

"She ran off, she doesn't think I can be with her, sure I'm slightly scared of her power, but not scared of her." I grumble.

"What a spoiled princess." Drake hisses. I look with him with anger.

"Don't you dare speak of her that way!" I yell at him, he grins.

"I needed you to get fired up so we can find her. Aren't I genius?" He laughs. I growl punching him lightly.

After walking for a bit, Drake and I come across an abandoned house. We look at each other and shrug. We open the door and head in, both of us were exhausted from trying to find Stella. We find two beds thankfully and we each lay down in one. I drift off to sleep quickly.

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my chest. A girl hovers over me. Her dark hair flowed around her face and her hollow eyes stare at me. Her long fingers find their way to my neck and clamp shut. As she squeezes I choke out for air, her cruel grin grows as I slowly loose my ability to breath.

A sharp scream comes from her body and her fingers loosing the grip. Her body collapses on top of mine. A little girl stood behind the girl trying to kill me. She looked at me with worry and pulls the body off of me.

"We better leave before she wakes up." She whispers. I nod and we get Drake.

"Go away!" He grunts as he shoves his face into the mattress.

"We need to leave Drake, a girl tried to kill me, but this little girl saved me. If we want to live another day we need to go!" I hiss at him.

He pulls his upper half up and comes to a sit, he turns his legs and stands on the cold wood floor. He stretches then looks at the girl.

"What's your name?" He asks. The girl smiles.

"My name is a Shadow, I have a friend waiting outside for us. You'll like her, she is super nice!" She giggles.

"Oh?" I smile.

"Yeah, she's pretty too!" She winks. Me and Drake laugh.

We head to the front door and Shadow opens it. Standing there is someone I didn't expect.

"Stella?" I choke out.

"No..."
