Insanity is the only word that comes to mind, the only word that describes me and my life.
Insanity: I'm in danger and nobody can save me but myself
Insanity: I'm in love with my handler my guardian and he doesn't know it and never will
Insanity: I posses gifts that shouldn't exist
Insanity: my brother and I are half demon
Insanity: my father talked to me through my mind, the father who died
Insanity: I'm a weapon, I'm wanted on both sides
Insanity: I know that soon enough I'll be the only one left to save myself nobody will come looking for me
Insanity: I need to run, I need to protect the ones I love no matter how hard, I need to win this battle alone or nobody will ever live fully, my brother and Eric will die if I fail
Insanity: that's all I have to give, insanity, hurt, confusion, pain, loss.
Insanity: that's my life forever and always.

I look over at Eric from my perch on the window seat. Positive he's sound asleep I hold my hand out and watch my sword fly to me. I catch it easily and slowly put it in it's sheaf. Next I quietly jump off of the window seat and walk over to the book bags. I throw small amounts of snacks, four water bottles, one pistol with several extra bullets, my knife, four disks, four mini bombs, and a rope into it then walk over to Eric's side of the bed.
"Forgive me my love." I whisper then gently press my lips to his forehead. I place my thumb against his cheek and gently swipe my thumb across it.
"Sleep well Eric, for when you wake I will be long gone." I whisper feeling the spell leave my body.
"I love you." I whisper then turn away and head to the door. Looking back over my shoulder one last time I give a sad smile to my guardian then pull my hood up and change identities walking away. I reach Josiah's room and stare at the door wanting to but knowing I can't open his room door.
"Goodbye brother." I whisper then I turn away and walk down the stairs. I reach the bottom and open up the door. I step out into the cool night air then step through the brush. I look behind me the house now gone.
"I will win this war." I say then spin around and walk off.

"Josiah!" I yell slamming open his bedroom door. He jerks up in bed and looks at me wide eyed.
"Wha- what's going on?" He asks
"It's Raven." I say
"What about Raven?" He asks slowly climbing out of bed cautiously.
"She's gone." I say and he runs by me and down the hall.
"How the hell did she get out!?" He yells and I shake my head
"I don't know! I woke up and she was gone!" I yell
"Is there any sign or anything as into where she could have gone?" He asks and we search frantically through the room. I look under the bed and pull out the black book bags.
"One's gone." I say and I yank open the one still here.
"My pistol is gone! She took three packs of bullets. Snacks are missing too." I say and he rushes over to the drawers.
"Damn it!" He yells kicking the dresser.
"What?" I ask
"Her sword is gone too." He says
