Love And Roses

chapter 1

-Ravens point of view-

I sit in my seat on the 5 hour long train ride to Cross Academy. I sigh and look away from the window to the letter in my hands.

Dear Raven,
Don't bother coming over after school, I wont be there. I'm going to leave tonight and no one can stop me. I plan on entering Cross Academy once my train pulls into the station, I am wrighting to you with love and am begging you not to come after me, because knowing you, you will chase me to the ends of the world.  I do not know were I will go after I get here and graduate or am revoked on my first try, all I know is that I will enter the school as a student one way or another.  Afterwords I will plan as I go along with my life out here. I care for you deeply when I say this but I must be brutal,  I can not live life the way you do. Back home was to small and confined for me, you may be able to live that way but I can't,  expecially when they try to force me into that marriage.  I need to....no I had to leave, I know in dew time you will understand. Which is why I will send you this ticket, you must tell no one of it nor can you tell them were I am. Once you are ready send me a letter so that I may meet you at the station.
      Love,
        Alice Halen

I smile slightly at how well she knows me, we were like twins, we could never be seperated. So why did she chose to leave so soon, why did she seem so scared in that phone call, and why was I even here when I know I said I didn't want to see her after she left me.

I hear the hissing of the brakes and the intercom speakers anounce that we had arived at our destination. I gathered my stuff, put on a brave face and steped onto the station platform to face what ever lies ahead of me.
