Crows pov

He was still caught in a memory.
Raven sat, her head in her hands. Crying. She could still feel his hands....him, she gagged and threw up. Her body twitched from the memory, from the feeling.
"Raven? Are you alright?" Crow asked, his normal rude demeanor gone, he knelt his face full of concern.
"Yes, I'm fine." Raven said.
"No your not...do you want some advise kid?" He asked,sighing.
"No."
"Well I'm giving it to ya anyway. Stop thinking about the past, think about the future, about revenge. You know he wins if you end up killing yourself. Ya know that right?" He asked.
"Ya." She said.
"Eat." He passed her a pale full of meat.
She took the peice in both hands and bit into it. Tearing a chunk of. She swallowed, after chewing.
"There." She said pushing the food away.
"More." He said, his voice cold.
"No."
"Now."
"No."
"Now." He growled.
She bit off two more peices.
"Good. Three more bites."
She bit into it three more times.
"Good girl." Crow said and patted her back."I'll be back tomorrow, you eat three more bites after your 6 tommorow." He said and leaned forward, resting his forehead against hers. Knowing he causex her to panic.
"I'm not going to hurt you brat, but you need to understand I'm not going to sit by and watch you kill yourself." He said, pulling away. He stood and walked off, pausing.
"Sleep well Raven." He said, then started to walk again.
"Wait!" Raven called.
"Hmmmm?" He asked, turning his head slightly.
"C-can you s-s-stay with me? Tonight?" She asked, cursing her stuttor.
"Sure, kid, sure." He turned and sat on her bed.
"I'll sleep on the floor."
"I want you to sleep here, on the bed." She said.
His eyebrows raised. What the hell was this girl thinking? He opened his mouth to ask.
He nodded instead and laid down, she layed down beside him. Her eyes closed. Her breathing became rythmatic. She was asleep. He moved to get up, and move to the floor.
She rolled over and gripped his arm. Holding it close. Tears streamed down her face.
He sighed and laid back down. Cursing himself for having Emotions.
Crow shook himself out of it. He vowed to himself.
I will always protect her.
Now he had to find her.

Ravens pov

I woke up, and shook my head, shaking off the dream I had about the night my innecence was taken.
I will kill that man.
I rolled over, and rested my head on my cheek. Closing my eyes.
"Hey brat...get up. You got some exlaling to do." A voice snarled.
I rolled over startled.
"What in mothers— oh, hey Crow." I said. Relief flooding me.
"You kill the boy?" He asked.
I was silent, he took my silence as a yes, which it was.
"Damnit! What the hell were you thinking?" He snarled.
"I dont remember." I said, which was the truth.
"You don't remember? You don't REMEMBER?!?" He shouted, grabbing my shoulders. "HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT FUCKING REMEMBER!?! YOU JUST KILLED A BOY!!!"
I whimpered.
"I don't know, I fell asleep in that room and then woke up here....naked.... With a boy torn apart around me."
Crow panted from rage. His eyes turning black.
"Come with me." He turned and walked. I stayed where I was, and stayed silent.
"I said come." He growled turning toward me.
"No, I killed the boy I stay with the boy." I sat.
"For fuck sakes...." He muttered.
He walked over to me. Bending and wrapping his arms around me. Why is he hugging me?
Then I was lifted and thrown over his shoulder.
"Huh?" I asked.
"I'm taking you home." He then ran, my stomachs connecting to his shoulder each time he jumped. My stomachs is going to be bruised now.
"Im taking you to my room."
"Put me down!" I screeched. Slapping him on the back. He did as I asked and set me on my feet. I huffed in anoyance.
He grinned and picked me up again, this time bridal style. Really? I wanted to say. Instead I snorted.
"Such an unladylike noise." Crow teased.
I glared. Damn idiot.
He smirked and moved one arm and hand to the door to the house. I sighed and accepted that I would be punished. I killed a boy and I had ran off and abonaded the pack.
"Breathe, they won't kill you Raven." Crow whispered. Trying to calm my nerves. As if that would help.
Crow stepped inside, his grip on my tightened.
"Ahhh, crow you found her." James said.
"Yes." Crow replied voice devoid of emotion.
"Where was she?" He inquired, an eyebrow raised with a smirk.
"She was in the forest." He said.
"Why? What did she do?"
They know I'm right here right? I huffed again and voiced my thoughts.
"You do know I can here you and am right here?"
"Shut it welp!" James snarled.
I nodded. Leaning into Crow.
"She....killed a boy and made a den. For what reason I have no idea." Crows eyes found mine and I saw sadness in them. He didn't want to do this.
"Is that so?" James asked. "Bring her to the room....I have a little....punishment for her." He instructed before storming off.
"Well that went well."
Crow looked at me, his expression panicked and terrified.
"He can't do this." He murmured.
"Do what?" I asked.
"Torture you...." He said.
".....torture.....me?"
Crow nodded. He let out a growl and set me down.
"Be strong." He led me to the room where I had blacked out.
He connected the chains around my wrists and ankles. I was now in a cage.
"Crow? What kind of torture?"
"Almost anything you can immantion."
".......oh."
"Please don't die." He whispered, showing rare affection and kissed my forehead.
"Don't die..."
