Raven

Chapter Nine

{Part Two / Hallucinator (who will return soon)}
Sabrina braced for impact of the bomb once that click rang through the room. She squinted as the rubble fell on her and she glanced at the rubble falling all around her. She looked at bricks collapsing around her and a purple glow emitting from her hands as the bricks swirled around the building at an intense speed.

The fleeing crowd stopped and gasped at the sight in front of her. Being transfixed on the hovering rubble, they did not know the radiating waves of black beneath them, engulfing its bitterness and dark aura onto everyone there. Sabrina's force gleamed through the dust and dirt as a dark purple as she looked ahead, shocked and confused.

Kyle shouted out, "Hooray..!!" Everyone cheered at the Raven and she cracked a grin. Sabrina smiled and dashed away through the crowd chanting, 'Raven! Raven!"

She changed out of the dusty clothes she had on and realized the day after was school. I've been so mopey, I forgot about homework... That night, she busted her pencil out and finished her current events. She smiled at her sloppy yet decent work and packed it up. She rested at her couch with Lily in hand and watched the tv and fell asleep.

Sabrina woke up to a slow day at school. Algebra Two was going by like a breeze and she smiled at the current event topic she picked out absent-minded like. She dragged herself to Band and groaned seeing the eccentric substitute rapidly slapping the baton on the music stand. Cassidy winced, preparing herself for the baton to snap in half.

Sabrina lazily played a scale pattern and was challenged by a sixth chair trumpet and rolled her eyes. "Not the time." She mumbled as Kyle snorted when she emptied out her instrument onto her lap. She sighed and brushed her jeans. Sabrina suddenly stopped and fell onto her music stand. Kyle's eyes widened and he yelled, "She's dead..!" The whole symphonic band boomed with screams as everyone panicked on what to do and the substitute fainted on her chair.

The whole band room was in chaos and Kyle started dragging Sabrina's unconscious body to the nurse two buildings away. Everyone fanned the teacher and prayed she would wake up and solve this mess. The trumpets prayed that the silver trumpet gods were with them and concluded the period like that.

Sabrina woke up in the infirmary at her school just when the final bell rang. "W-what happened..?" She asked the Nurse, waiting to wake her up. "You were passed out unconscious Ms.Marcus. Seems like your vitals sped up too much for your body." She nodded slightly and got up to feel her legs ache and sting.

That Naomi girl is a toughie.. Sabrina thought to herself. The nurse approached her, "Is something... Wrong..?" Sabrina shook her head weakly and shuffled to the door. She exited the office and saw the nurse smile at her creepily. Suddenly when she looked in front of herself, the whole school including the staff smiled the same way.

Sabrina nervously backed away and started hearing taunting voices. "You pathetic runt." "Why don't you just join your dad in prison!" "Going to jail and suffering cancer? What a genius way to avoid your disgrace of a kid!" The voices kept coming at her, louder, stronger, more sinister remarks made her start crying.

She stood there weak and collapsed to the ground. She struggled to breathe and teared up, tears gliding down her cheeks. The world around her became dark and only her sons were heard. She could only hear whispers. "You know I will always love you.." "Don't let those people get you down!" "Never give up!"

Sabrina kept her head down and her knees to cover her face. The negative voices were strong but the soothing voices of hope gave her little strength to get up and open her eyes.

That was when they were gone. Everyone was gone. The school was back to normal, only a handful of kids rushing to get home from school at the time. Sabrina awkwardly shuffled to her car and drove home. Why am I always damn hungry... She drove home to see her parents on the porch smiling and laughing.

"M-mom, Dad?" Her voice cracked when she saw them both look like they normally looked nine years ago. She watched them look back at her and smile, motioning for her to walk in. She heard a faint shouting, a familiar whining voice.

"Sabrina your gonna get hit by a car!" Sabrina gasped, watching a car swerve and make impact with her. Sabrina stared at the shocked person in the car stunned with the airbags deflating. "She's doesn't have a scratch!" "How come she's not hurt!" "Did she get hit...?" The people occupying the driving cars stared at Sabrina and she awkwardly backed away and ran off in the opposite way. She looked back and saw nothing at her house. The porch was silent and yet I saw mom and dad there.

It was a clear diversion, I was set up to be exposed and get somehow ruined. Sabrina was confused. She didn't know how the ideas of being set up came into her mind. She somehow felt that was it, feeling watched and almost monitored. She sheepishly opened her door to see Lily headfirst in her doggy food bag and left her to it. Lily was always able to feed herself, just give her the right opportunity.

Sabrina crouched on the couch with a blanket, watching the daily news again, a clip of her on the street. She then stopped, seeing a weird man in the background with a strange aura. How can the media pick up more things then me... Sabrina whined. She didn't feel like levitating and telepathically saving her city.
Just a little sleep for once...
