Dreaming the truth

chapter seven

(Fox's point of view)

Raven and I were cuddling on the couch, her head on my chest and my arm around her, watching Titanic. She had told me that Titanic was her favorite movie. She frowned. It was at the part where Jack was frozen and she had to let go of him.

Karie was in the bedroom, doing whatever she does.

I could tell that Raven was tired. She kept dozing off and waking herself up every few minutes. Finally, she really did fall asleep, right before the movie ended too. I smiled and gently stroked her hair as she slept. Did I ever say that she looks adorable when she sleeps?

I sighed and rearanged her so I could pick her up. I glanced at the clock. it was 11:27. I frowned and picked her up, carrying her into our bedroom, and laying her on the bed. I pulled the sheets over her and plugged in her phone on the nightstand.

I went into the bathroom and got ready for bed, turning out the light and crawling into bed beside her. I fixed the sheets around us and put my arm across her waist, turning my head into her neck.

(Raven's point of view)

Images flashed through my dreams of a young girl with reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. I had never seen this girl in my life, well, not that i can remember anyway.

the girl kept appearing behind my mum, and it seemed like she was trying to say something but no words came out.

"Mum?" I called, trying to run to her and hug her, but the more I ran, the farther away she got. "MUM!" i yelled, trying to run faster. I finally stopped when she disappeared and I was breathing heavily.

*****

A loud clash of thunder woke me up. I sat up with fear, realizing it was only thunder after a few moments. I looked at Fox, who was asleep. I smiled and layed back down. I would tell him about what I saw in the morning.

(Karie's point of view)

"Wake up you lazy bum!" She yelled, throwing pillows at the sleeping couple. "You two are lazier that sloths! ugh!" Karie threw one more pillow before leaving the room "Why don't they ever get up on time?" She asked, walking into the kitchen.

Fox walked into the livingroom, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "What is it?" he asked, flopping down on the couch.

"We need to go somewhere interesting. Well, more interesting than this dump." Karie muttered.

"I heard that." Raven said, coming up behind Karie and grabbing her head, putting her in a headlock.

"Raven! No!" Karie whined.

Raven laughed and started pulling Karie's ears, making them red as strawberries.

"Okay okay enough you two." Fox laughed, pulling Raven away from her little sister.
