THE RAVEN . | eric draven

s1 e3

after i left the restaurant , i set off to go find my next opponent. i climbed on top of another building and i ran across the other buildings again while my raven soared through the sky.

i came to a stopping point and i jumped off and landed on my feet. just as i was about to go around town and figure out where the man who killed me was , eric appeared in front of me out of thin air.

"looking for the same person as me huh?" he said. i gasped , being startled by him. "god , eric. you scared the fuck outta me." he chuckled and shook his head.

"sorry." he took a gun out of his trench coat and cleaned it a bit. "also i'm assuming you've met my sister?" i furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "you're sister?" he blinked really fast as if i he thought i was stupid.

"uh , yeah. i saw you talking to her in the restaurant she works at. long brown hair , skinny , hazel eyes?" i laughed a bit , not believing him.

"veronica is your sister?" he furrowed his eyebrows at me. "oh , you're serious. my bad." he sighed. "it's fine. yes , she's my twin sister. older by 6 minutes." i laughed again.

"i didn't need to know the age gap but okay. anyways , i'm looking for a man with long blonde hair wearing a leather jacket." he nodded. "yeah , i found out who he was. his name is funboy."

i giggled a bit. "funboy? are you serious?" eric put his gun back in his pocket. "yep. the other guy's name was tin tin." i laughed. "oh , so i'm guessing the rest of them have weird names as well."

he laughed a bit as well. "yep , that's exactly what i said when i found out their names." i looked behind me and then looked back at him. "hey , do you want to go say hi to your sister real quick?"

he looked a bit nervous about what i suggested. i tilted my head. "what's wrong? scared she won't believe ya?" he sighed and looked down at the ground.

"well , i don't know how she's going to react to the fact that i'm alive .. also , we weren't on good terms the last time we saw each other .." he looked back up at me.

i shrugged. "well , there's always time to set things right , yeah?" he huffed. "fine. but if this goes down badly , it's your fault." i rolled my eyes at him and we made our way back to the restaurant.

when we got there , veronica was walking out before we even got the chance to walk into the door. "hey , you didn't leave me a tip." she said to me. the moment she met eyes with eric , it looked like she was having a stroke.

"eric? is that you?" tears formed in her eyes. he nodded as tears formed in his eyes as well. "yes , nica , it's me." veronica ran into eric's arms to hug him.

the mood suddenly changed when she pulled away from the hug and shoved him. "don't fucking scare me like that again!!" she said while bursting into tears. "i thought you were dead!!"

eric had a look of regret on his face. "it's a long story , nica. this is my friend katrina." she looked at me. "oh we've met. it's just kat." eric turned his head to look at me. "i think katrina fits you better." he smiled at me.

i felt myself blushing a bit but i attempted to hide it with my hair in front of my face. veronica raised an eyebrow. "oh? already got a new shelly i see." i furrowed my eyebrows at her.

"hey , we don't like each other like that , okay?" she rolled her eyes and shook her head. "whatever you say." there was an awkward silence for a few moments until eric spoke.

"well , i'm gonna find where this funboy person is and i'll fetch you if i need you , katrina." i smiled a bit at his invite. "awh , you want me to actually help you this time?" i said in a sarcastic tone.

he rolled his eyes at me. "yes , i want to make up for last time. see ya." he climbed onto the top of a building and ran off. i looked at veronica. "i'll walk you home. it's too dangerous at this time of night. especially today."

she laughed a bit. "yeah , i guess you could say that." half of the walk to her house was silent. the only part of veronica that i knew is that she hates her job and when people don't leave tips. she broke the silence eventually though.

"do you like eric , kat?" i tried my best to act confused with her question. "uh , no .. why would you think that?" she sighed and looked down at the ground as we were walking.

"it's just .. he's my little brother , y'know?" both of us stopped in our tracks. "i wasn't really too fond of shelly. i was kinda jealous that she was the new important thing in his life. i was always there to protect him."

i saw tears form in her eyes once again. "but now that he's killing all these people and had enough strength to come back to life , i guess he doesn't need me anymore .."

we continued walking as i said : "veronica , he's always gonna need you. you're his big sister. he just needs to make his own decisions now. you should feel good that you made him so tough."

she smiled. "yeah , i guess so." we eventually made it to her house. but there was one problem : her whole home was filled with flames.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" she immediately fell to her knees and started sobbing. i got down to her level. "it's okay .. me and eric will take care of who ever did this .. you can stay with me for now."

she looked at me with tears falling down her face. she wiped them away. "okay .. if it's not a bother to you." i smiled at her and we both stood up as we put our arms over each other's shoulders. "a friend of eric is a friend of mine."
