Raven's POV

Opening my eyes, I saw the blue sky above me. Well I think it was blue. To be honest, the world was a little blurry and once again sepia coloured. Once again? Have I been to this place before? Sitting up, my head throbbing, I glanced around me. I was in the sepia village. Funny how I didn't remember that while I was in the real world.

My memory is not that bad. So that means something was preventing me from remembering what I saw the last time I was here. That was a few hours ago wasn't it? Why am I here again? Better question is, how the hell did I even get here and how do I get out?

"You're awake I see. Finally. I thought you were going to sleep forever." A bubbly feminine voice called from behind me.

Whipping my head around, I saw a woman stooping behind me, her elbows on her knees and a brilliant smile on her pink lips. Her long dark brown hair was plait in front of her, brushing the ground. Her light brown eyes sparkled with mischief. My first thought, damn she's beautiful. Second thought, she's the woman I saw last time with that demon man. Nathalia I believe was her name.

"Um hi?" I asked instead of saying.

She laughed. "Raven don't look so shocked."

I kinda have to. If memory serves, and it does, she couldn't see me last time. I was quite literally invisible. She reached out a hand for me. Without questioning anything, I took her hand and she stood up, pulling me up with her.

"I have a question. A few actually. But first, who the hell are you?!" I demanded, pulling my hand out of hers.

"Feisty. But I guess that's what happens when you are left alone most of your life."

I was taken aback by her words. I wasn't alone most of my life. I had Amon. I'm not alone. Yes he leaves me for long periods of time, only because he has too. But that was before. Everyday I see him now. Ever since the day those men almost raped me.

"Who am I Raven? Look at me and tell me if you know who I am." She said.

I looked at her. I mean really looked at her. I've met her before haven't I? A memory buried deep within my mind sprung forth. A woman playing with a black hair baby girl. A baby girl with dual coloured eyes, blue and red. Me.

Blinking, I stared at the woman. "Mom..."

A smile spread on her face. "That's right my darling."

I launched myself at her, wrapping my arms around her waist, burying my face in her neck. My mom wrapped an arm around my back while she used her other to stroke the back of my head. I hadn't even realized that I was crying.

"Mom...why am I here?" I sniffled, composing myself.

"I need to show you a few things. I won't get an opportunity to meet you like this again. Looking over you has taken a lot out of me."

"Looking over me?"

"Did you actually think a toddler would have survived on her own? I was watching over you this entire time. I didn't want you getting hurt so I stayed. Not like I was given a choice."
