Ghosts of the past

Raven POV

"Raven." My eyes open quick and I look around, eyes falling on the figure. My heart stops. "Mother..." I whisper, fingertips desperately reaching across to touch. "Mother..." She feels tears slip from her eyes to her cheeks. "Let it go, Raven. Let all that hate and sorrow inside you go. You can be happy. Give up your revenge." My eyes widen. Let go? "But.." I begin and she shakes her head. "No. Revenge, anger, sorrow, hatred, it's all unclean." Then it happens before I can even control it. The word slips through my mouth. "NO!"

Shock fills her features. "W-what?" "I won't! This hatred is all I have left! I don't want to let go! I won't!" I hiss at her, pulling away from the arms that held on to me. "Raven, don't you love me?" She asks, eyes glazing over. My eyes soften. "Mother, of course I love you. That's why it hurt so much when you died. Why I won't let go. I have to hold on to it, for you, for me, for all of us. For everyone who suffered that day." She stares at me and backs away. Her image flickers and I let out a sob. Static travels through her and just like she came, she's gone. "Goodbye, mother."

I gasp, waking up. This isn't the first time I've dreamt of this. I'm sorry, Mother. But I won't let go. Not until I have my revenge, our revenge. A knock on the door interrupts me and I warily open it with my magic. Henry stands there for a moment before speaking. "Don't attack. I'm here to help you get your revenge. My mums told me about your sister." Amethyst eyes look down towards the floor. "I can help you find her too." I look up at him shocked. He fully enters my house and brings a book out of his bag.

"This may look like an ordinary book but it has the stories of everyone here. So, if your sister was in the Enchanted Forest, her story should be here. It will show what happened to her and if you have something of hers, it can lead to her." I nod, bringing out the small necklace that belong to her. A silver necklace with wings and a heart at the end. Evangeline...

"Raven! Raven!" I laugh, as my sister runs behind me, desperate to win our race this time. My heart drums in my chest and I force my legs to go faster. I win; again. She sighs, defeated. "Don't be upset, look." I click my fingers and a necklace appears on her neck, a silver chain with angel wings and a heart. "You are like an angel after all." I tell her, smiling and she grins back.

"Raven?" Henry calls me out and I snap out of my thoughts. "Um, yes, of course." I mutter, handing the necklace over to him. He places a potion over it and it glows blue. It starts beeping. "It's like a tracker. Lets follow it!" He tells me and we both run in the direction it beeps louder to. 

I'll find you, Evangeline. I promise.
