Death Of Me - Ryden (Finished)

57.

It was Friday and I still haven't talked to Ryan.

When I saw him on his way to school, I immediatly ran away or hide behind one of the trees.

It hurts to do so, but what else can I do?

I also didn't see Mrs. Jensen around anymore, I was wondering what she's doing now. Talking to some other ghosts? Helping her father?

I often saw emily with Patrick together. They're becoming good friends.

And then, when I thought that nothing would happened this day.. I saw the woman again.

She was walking out of the forest with her perfect smile on her beautiful face.
She held something on her arms.

I narrowed my eyes and stepped a little bit closer, still being in the distance.

It was something black and I think my breathing stopped for a second.

It was the black cat tsuki.

Why is she on her arm? And to my surprise tsuki didn't seem to be as shy as always in front of other people.

Maybe she knew her?

I stared at the black cat so long and intensive that I didn't notice that the woman was walking right to me. She still had this perfect smile plastered on her face.

When She stepped closer I flinched.
I could just run away now, but this would be too obvious, am I right?

"Brendon", she said softly, stroking tsuki, "I haven't seen you in a while."

"I also didn't", I mumbled, trying to stay as calm as possible, but the fact that she held tsuki freaked me slightly out.

The black cat turned her attention to me and started to purr. Actually I expected a hiss after all that happened, but she didn't seem to be mad at me.

"You know raven?", she asked, continuing to stroke the cat.

"Raven?", I asked.

"That's her name", she chuckled, "did you have a different name for her?"

"Tsuki", I answered shortly.

"Mhhm", she made, "fits."

We both only stared at the cat who's eyes were drilling right through me. She seemed to be reading my mind, but when I slightly turned my head to the woman's face she lost interest and started to look at the trees.

"What are you doing here?", she asked.

"Nothing."

"You aren't that talkative today, aren't you?", she chuckled, revealing her white teeth.

"I guess", I mumbled, "where do you know tsuki from?"

"Raven", she said, nearly demanding me to use this name, her eyes starting to become cold and piercing as tsukis, or ravens in this case.

"Uhm, where do you know Raven from?", I asked, starting to feel uncomfortable by the look she gave me.

After my use of words, her face started to lift up again and she said, "she's my father's cat."

Everything in myself made a pause. My heart didn't beat. My lungs didn't breath. My brain didn't think.

"You didn't see that coming, huh?", she asked, smirking devilish.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go", I said, already on my way to turn around. I stumbled over my feed several times, but managed to stand up quickly again.

"Don't just concentrate on the things that seem obvious to you!", she yelled after me, but I continued walking.

I never thought she was the daughter of tsukis, or ravens daughter.

I didn't even know Mr. Hollow has a daughter.
