Raven woke up at his desk his head placed on his book his hand was still holding the pen.
He heard his alarm clock blaring in the other room he rubbed his sleepy eyes and went over to the closet to get his clothes out.
He picked out a black shirt with jeans to wear for the day he slipped on his sneakers and walked out of the door holding his notebook close to himself he knew people were expecting it as he went and sat on the edge of a bridge.
He had nightmares the whole night about the book being a complete failure and on top of the stress and constant pushing he had been under.
He couldn't do it, he could not remember anything about his story. he couldn't write this sequel he felt like a complete idiot.
Raven stood up and looked at his story book.
he felt as if he had been thrown into a abyss of his own
he raised his hand up and went to throw the book into the river below as a child grabbed his pantleg
"Mister,what are you doing?"the young girl spoke
Raven looked down at the child she had yellow hair and blue eyes she wore a frilly dress.
"I'm just getting rid of a story."he smiled a bit"it was a terrible story."
"No story is terrible, I love story's especially ones about magic."
Raven nodded and sat down handing the notebook to the child "you can have it if you want,Im not going to finish this cursed thing"he sat back on the edge expecting the kid to go away
"But why not.? Every story should be finished."she spoke again flipping though the pages.
Raven had finished about fifty pages
Raven nodded"well I already finished one. I just... I promised this book and I forgot everything about everyone."
"Why don't you read your book again then?"the female smiled at raven her eyes sparkling
That's the problem. I still won't have everyone's secrets,their life story's and the twists."
Well,if they were real I betcha could finish your story"she chuckled lightly
Raven nodded slowly and chuckled"that would be pretty cool I have to admit. You have a wild imagination, I like that. My names Raven what's your name?"
The child looked a bit mischevious as she looked dead in Ravens eyes"my name is Sheila. Its nice to meetcha"she put out her hand
Raven noticed the look on sheilas face and tilted his head putting his hand out
The little girl smirked a bit and grabbed a bit tight for a little girl as her eyes glowed purple"now you have to finish the story"her smile grew ear to ear as she let go
Raven froze up feeling his hand burn as a light blue circle appeared on the palm of his hand
Raven jolted up knocking his book off the bridge and shook his hand and looked over at the child.
Sheila was gone
He looked over the bridge looking for any sight of her. Realizing the book had fallen into the river and was floating away he sighed in relief his hand continued to burn as he walked down to the water and placed his hand under the cool stream of liquid,the water seemed to steam and boil around his hand as he silently let tears fall.
About ten minutes passed and raven was laying back on the soft grass holding his hand the burning had calmed down as bit as he was pondering what had happened or if he was dreaming still.
All he knew was the pain was real

He stood up realizing it was getting dark as he walked home.
His hand had finally stopped burning as he entered his home his parents were gone, probably out at clubs or something like that.
Raven had gotten into his room as a sudden flood of memories hit him like a bullet, he suddenly felt dizzy as he grabbed onto the wall and almost got to his bed as he blacked out
