THE RAVEN . | eric draven

the crow gave eric a vision of where the pit was. we drove the rental car there. eric parked somewhere a bit far from there so they wouldn't see us.

we got out of the car. "reminder to everyone .." said eric. "i'm gonna ask for skank first and if they say we can't have him , attack." all of us nodded , receiving the message.

there was a concert going on downstairs so it was easy for us to hide ourselves in the crowd in case they saw us. "i never knew they hung out here .." i said to myself. when i was alive and i used to go to eric's band's concerts , they would be held here.

we finally made our way upstairs. luckily , no one was guarding the door. we walked straight into the room where they were in. my palms were sweaty.

i had my pocket knife in my bra and a gun in a little purse. even though they could see that i was unarmed , i was terrified. loretta isn't scared of them of course. she's carrying her baseball bat on her shoulders and a gun in a gun pocket that was strapped to her belt. the rest of us had our weapons hidden though.

when we walked into the room , a bunch of men were sitting at a long table and what was on it was what eric described exactly. papers , guns and ammo , and plates and bowls of cocaine.

then , when we got closer , top dollar was standing at the other end of the table. he had an extravagant chair that looked like a throne. there was a bunch of golden goblets on the table that was burning something , making the room smell like burnt flesh.

a different man had his arms around skank so he couldn't get away. top dollar put his hands on his hips when he saw all of us. eric hopped onto the table and sat in a criss-crossed position.

"well well .. if it isn't the boy and his bird .. the avenger .. the killer of killers." said top dollar. eric glared at him because of what he called him. top dollar then met eyes with me.

"and his little girlfriend .. the black widow .. the siren .. the .." eric cut him off. "we get it!!" top dollar chuckled menacingly. he then looked at loretta , jason , and anastasia left to right.

"oh .. the brady bunch." he started laughing. jason tried to lunge at him but loretta and anastasia held him back. top dollar then looked at loretta sinisterly , making her plant a look of terror on her face.

"lorretta .." he leaned over the table a bit , putting both of his hands on it. "if you ever came back to life , i thought you'd come running back to me but here you are .. with the enemy .." she rolled her eyes.

"cut the shit , top." she said. "anyways .." said eric , pointing to skank. "i just want him." top dollar chuckled. "well you can't have him." eric stood up on the table.

"i see you've made you're decision. now let's see you enforce it." eric stretched his arms out , which was our signal to attack but before we could , top dollar yelled out : "SHOOT THEM!"

everyone at the table took their guns out and shot at us. i felt the bullets go through me with ease. all of us fell to the ground instantly so all of us could crawl under the table to sneak attack them.

one of the men looked to see if we were dead. "they've vanished!!" pfft. idiots. all of us popped out and eric shot the dude in the head. all of us started firing our guns at everybody while they fired back.

top dollar's case full of weapons was open , giving eric the perfect opportunity to grab something from there. i jumped onto a guy's back and slit his throat.

loretta put her baseball bat over someone's throat to choke them as she was behind them , shooting them in the head after.

"you're all going to die." said eric in a calm tone. he stabbed a man with one of top dollar's swords. top dollar must have fled because i didn't see him anywhere. it doesn't matter though because he's not our main target.

one man pulled me by the hair and i had enough strength to turn around and kick him across the room. i ran to him and shot him in the heart. everyone else evacuated , except for skank.

he was hiding in a corner. eric picked him up by the shirt. "hello , skank." he said. "i ain't skank." skank said. eric stabbed him with the sword and threw him out the window.

conveniently , his body landed on a cop car. cops came into the room. "move and we'll shoot all of you!" all of us rushed out of the window and hopped onto the roof of a building that was lower.

eric held my hand as we ran from the helicopters that were shooting at us. when they finally gave up , we hopped off of another building and landed on our feet in an alley.

all of us were panting. "i need to go see if sarah is at the cemetery. i have something to give her." all of us furrowed our eyebrows at him. "why would she be at the cemetery this late at night?" i asked him.

"sometimes when she visits shelly's grave , she falls asleep there." he turned to walk away. "we're coming with you." i said. he sighed. "fine , let's go."

we drove to the cemetery. we hopped out of the car and started making our way to shelly's grave. just as eric predicted , the child was fast asleep near shelly's gravestone.

eric shook her foot to wake her up. sarah sat up and rubbed her eyes. "i know you said i shouldn't be in a cemetery in the middle of the night , right?" she asked , half-asleep. eric got on his knees to get down to her level.

"it's the safest place in the world to be." he said to her. she smiled. "that's because everybody's dead." she said. "i knew you'd come here." she looked at the rest of us.

"i'm guessing these are more people from the dead , right?" she asked. he nodded. "it's really late , sarah." she looked down. "you didn't say goodbye .."

eric sighed. she met eyes with him again. "you're just gonna have to forgive me for that." he said to her. "and you're never coming back .." she looked down again while she said that.

he took the necklace he had on with a golden ring on it off. "i gave this to shelly once." he put it on her. "i think she'd like you to have it." she admired the ring. "i'll never take it off."

he put his hand on her cheek and she hugged him. tears rolled down her face. all of us watched this moment with sorrow in our hearts. she pulled away from the hug.

"i better get home." she walked off and said bye to eric. "was that shelly's engagement ring?" loretta asked. eric nodded.

a few moments later , we heard sarah screaming from the church that was near the cemetery. eric widened his eyes. "that sounds like sarah!" all of us rushed to her aid.
