New Chances (Dance with Devils) COMPLETE

Understanding and Trusting

Shiki's pov

~The Rikimaru estate~

'Was it me or did she had 4 wings? Why did she need to fly away so fast?! I couldn't see it...'

"RAVEN! Come back this instant! Grrr." Mae yelled after Raven. I don't think she heard it.

"I don't think she's coming back, Mae." Jane said.

"Thank you. I didn't figure that out yet." Mae let out a sigh. She turned to the other girls. "One of you, go after her and bring her back, please."

After a awkward silence Jane spoke up.

"Is it really necessary?"

"Yes it is, she's my third line." Mae said still annoyed and again with a sigh.

'Wow. I found a female Rem. She even has the old man eh... woman sigh.
Should I go after her? She looks interesting and I can go check out that wings of hers.'

I stepped forward.

"Excuse me miss Rikimaru. May I go after her?" I asked.

"I appreciate the offer but I don't want to bother you with it." Mae replied.

"Uhm... Not to be rude or anything, but, why do you want to go after her?" Amber asked.

"Well 1) because I'm a fallen angel too and fallen angels can sense each other. She's already gone for a while. It'll take a lot of time to find her again. 2) by the look of it, no one wants to go after her. And 3) I haven't flown for a while. So what do you say? Can I go after her?"

"I guess you can go then. But once she has calmed down, tell her to show you your room when you're back. If you can do that, we have a deal." Mae said.

"A deal it is." I replied.

I pulled out my wings and flew out the window.

'Ah, what a nice evening. The sky orange/purple. Can't wait untill midnight and- wait, no, stop. Bad Shiki, you need to find the girl. What was her name again? Oh this is bad. Wait, I know! Raven! Alright, now that I remember her name I can go look for her. Let's see.'

I stopped, closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

'Forest.'

I looked around and spotted a forest on my right. I flew above it trying to find something black in a dark forest.

"Now I get why she flew to a forest." I let out a sigh and started my search.

~Time skip~

'I know I said I wanted to fly again, but... I didn't thought I'll be flying for 4 hours straight!! But it became darker and I must say that it's beautiful.'

As flew deeper in to the forest, I heard crackling an whimpering. I flew to the sounds and I saw Raven ripping out roses. Her hands were full of rose thorns.

'She looks a bit like me when I'm mad. Maybe if I could come a little closer-'

CRACK!

I look down to see that stepped on a branch.

'Great, just great. Now she knows I'm here and am I going to get it.'

But when I look at Raven again, I saw that she just went on with ripping out roses.

'Didn't she hear me or is she just ignoring me?'

I take my wings back and decided to go to her. She still didn't notice my presence. I knelt down beside her.

"Hey, Raven? Stop ripping out roses. Please?"
