Dark Skys and Nowhere to go

Chapter 1: Hatred of the special

(Ravens pov-)

"MOM I SAID I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR DAD! LEAVE NOW!" I heard my mother screaming at my grandparents through my bedroom . She doesn't really Like the fact that they are Mages...or that the fact that I'm one too,well sort of...I Have the. Potential to be one,so my parents hate me as well for it, but its not like its my fault or anything...is it?"but honey we just came for the holidays-" "I SAID LEAVE!" my mother cut my gran-dad off and i here a door slam. i get up and see if they accidentally left the door unlocked.the door opens, i walk up the stairs and see what happened. " mom? dad?..." i peek around the wall on the stairs and my dads head snaps to my direction." RAVEN! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT COMING UP STAIRS!?" i cower behind the door as he walks towards me. he grabs my arm and drags me down the stairs into the basement and throws me in my room or should i say 'prison' the room has no color, its completely white, the only light source it has is a small semi circle barred window aligned with the ground outside and a light bulb hanging by a string from the ceiling. the only furniture that is there is a bed, table for my homework, a chair , and a book shelf and there's a bathroom to the right. "ouch, dad you were hurting me!" i say. " don't raise your voice at me!" he yells and storms off and out of my room. "why?... you always yell at me... and you keep me here in this stupid god forsaken room" i mumble to myself. i sit in a corner of my blank room with my knees up to my chest. my black hair falls into my face as i lean my head down." Its Christmas eve..." my voice trembles and i silently cry myself to sleep in the comforting but cold corner surrounds that surrounds me, the closest thing I've had to a hug.

i wake up the next morning and see white stuff on my bed, and its colder. i stand up to see what it is and look out the barred window. i see a beautiful winter wonderland. the snow is everywhere, my backyards bushes are covered like a cupcake with white frosting. i stare at the beauty in amazement. then i hear a rustle coming from my fence, i jerk at the sound my heart almost jumps out of my mouth.it was a red ball, but there were more rustles so i scoot down a little watching for what it was next. i see a small blue cat with wings fly over the fence. "hurry up happy!" what sounded like a small boy call to the strange blue fur ball."aye sir! but Natsu-San there's a little girl! and shes trapped"....the cat...talked...ok this cat is way weirder than i thought...wait, it saw me! i duck under my window. "really?" i hear 'Natsu' say after a few grunts and a thud. "happy stop making stuff up." i peek my head up and see the ball in my face some how. then the boy walks over and picks it up. uh-oh...

(Natsu s pov-)

Geez happy there's no one here... i pick up the ball and i see a small girl about the same age as me with black hair with blue highlights in it, and shes wearing jeans and a plain black t-shirt. "oh! there is a girl. hey why are you down there?" i ask. that was a stupid question Natsu... " no reason." she says plainly. "well why don't you come up here where its fun!" i squat down and look in the room. "wow your room its really... cool?" i say. that was really rude.... i mentally face palm. "thanks... i guess..." she says. we sit in silence for what felt like forever. "do you think you could help me?" she asks. "what is it?" "i want out, but i have no magic. I've tried to wiggle the bars but they wont budge... could you find another Mage so i can get out?...please..." i can see that shes about to cry, but she stops herself. now i feel bad. "sure! but i'm a mage you know, so there's no need to find somebody." i say proudly. "really!? what magic do you use?"she lights up with hope. "i'm a fire dragon slayer!" i brag. she gasps melt the bars! please!?"" all right. but wont your parents notice when they come down here?" why does she want to leave? what has her parents done to her to drive her to the point of looking like this? the tiny frail girl looks at me disparately. urging me to do it."I don't care and neither will they! they cant even hear me down here the walls are sound proof... and they never come down unless to give me food or homework..." i'm speechless. no words come to my mouth. i put my hands on the thick bars of solid iron, and heat my hands up. after a good thirty minutes the iron is white and im using my magic up like there's no tomorrow. i start to sweat a little. " are you sure you can keep this up natsu?" "o-of course i -i can...wait... how do you know my name?!" i ask surprised. she points to happy. " happy said your name and you said his name when you guys came in here..." she states as if it was obvious. " oh... well since you know our names, whats yours?" i ask. she hesitates. "Raven... my name is Raven..."she says. "hmm. Raven huh? i like your name! it suits you" i flash her a smile and she blushes slightly. "thank you...Natsu..."
