~Marcel~

"I'm sorry Marcel..." Ember mutters and pushes past me.

I can't think clearly, the pain..it hurts so much..

"Em.." I mumble before tumbling to the ground. Ember stops and turns around, I can see the tears streaming down her face before everything goes black.

*******************************************************************************************************************

"We have to take him. And it will be good for you too, Harry."

"I can't believe I forgot he was hurt." Her voice awakens me and I open my eyes. Ember and Emily are hovering over me, I can see the relief on both of their faces.

"Oh thank god you're awake now." Ember leans down and presses a quick kiss to my forehead.

"What happened?" I asked not remembering anything, it was all black. I do remember waking up to Ember this morining.

"Well you fainted." Ember says quietly.

"Yes and you also forgot to mention to us that you were hurt, Marcel." Emily's tone seems angry, but motherly.

Shit...

"Sorry, I just.." I mutter before Emily shakes her head shushing me.

"Harry go get Jimmy and tell him we have to go to the hospital." I hear Harry groan at Emily before he manages to stand up. I can see him smiling down at me.

Ember is looking at me nervously at the mention of Jimmy's name..I wonder why.

"You can sit up if you want to. I'm just packing everything. I'll get your stuff too Ember." Emily says before sauntering off. 

I manage to sit up and pat the seat next to me so Ember will come closer to me. She gives me a look, but scoots over anyway.

"You aren't still mad at me?" She asks tentatively as I lay my head on her shoulder.

"For what?" I ask confused now.

"Talking to Jimmy." The memory suddenly comes back to me with those few words.

I sigh.

"You forgot and now you are again." She tries to move away from me, but I snake my good arm around her and pull her back into me.  

"No. I have to admit I was, but I think I'm over. it." I say the memory coming back to me.

"You know that I would never go back to him right? That I love being right here in your arms?"

"I know. I can't help but feel like I might lose you to him again. I never had a real girlfriend, Ember. It's all new to me. You have to teach me..." The words are starting to get deeper.

" Then, I promise I will always stick by you and teach you the best that I can." Her beautiful smile lights up my world.

"I love you, Ember."

"I love you, Marcel. Even though you love me more." She winks at me and kisses my cheek.

She didn't forget and that makes me happy.

"Uh guys?" Harry suddenly moves us from our own moment back to the real world.

"What?" Ember and I question at the same time.

"Jimmy is gone and so is his blue car." Harry's eyes widen.

I suddenly remember something about last night and I bolt from the couch to the back door. Ember calls out, but I'm on a mission. I pull open the back door the cool air blowing in as I step out.

The raven is gone.

"What the hell?" I mutter to myself and look around the backyard. A small mound of dirt catches my eye and I walk over to it. Underneath a large pine tree there is a medium sized rock. It must mark the raven's grave.

But who buried it?
