Daughter Of Death

Dark Hold

Raven

September had long been gone and October was here the first of October started my mother and my friend counting down the days till my 12th birthday. 30 more days! Is the text I got sent. I sighed, as I got up and looked in the mirror. The dreams hadn't stopped they had gotten worse except, instead of being where ever I had been in the last dreams with the guy, I was running from monsters and at some point there were these people screaming how I wasn't supposed to be alive. I at this point was paler, smaller as Everytime I woke up from a dream it was followed by me projectile vomiting, there were dark circles under my eyes, and it wasn't even eyeliner. I walked down stairs and mom sighed some. How much sleep did you get? She asked as I woke up screaming now, and I had scratches or bruises where I had been attacked in a dream. Not much. I said she handed me breakfast as I stuck my beany on, I started to inhale the food and mom put a hand on my shoulder. Baby girl you have to take it easy. Hey Rave. I turned and saw Echo with Atticus, he had been around more. How are you? I shrugged and she sighed and looked up at mom. We'll keep an eye on her. She said as I was going back to school today as I had been in the hospital for two weeks.

I was walking through the halls going to Greek mythology. My backpack was weighing me down. Are you sure you're ok?!? Echo asked I nodded as we walked in. KALOS ORISES PISO *welcome back* RAVENNA! I looked at my class mates and then at the banner which was written out in Greek, welcome back. Welcome back, we did miss you. Mr. Brunner said I looked at Echo and she smirked. It wasn't the same without you Raven. She said as we walked to our seats. The lesson started and I was listening I really was until I heard something, this weird noise I frowned and looked out the window and saw the man again. He was staring up at me.

You are not safe, Ravenna. You must be safe.

Ravenna? I looked up at Mr. Brunner he frowned. Are you alright, dear? I nodded he frowned some as if Wondering what I had been staring at so intensively. Are you sure? I heard the voice get a little louder my head started hurting a little bit but then I felt it, my nose started bleeding. RAVE! Echo screamed standing up and running from her seat to mine I sat down in the floor against the wall Mr. Brunner released the class and told Atticus to go to the nurse to get her.

I was back in the room where the man had constantly been I started freaking out. Ravenna? I turned and saw the woman, she was kinder and I felt more comfortable around her. She hugged me as I cried. I'm scared! why is this happening to me?!? She sighed and looked at me kissing the top of my head. It'll be alright just stay calm. I'm going to get put back in the hospital! No they won't, you're friends are working on it. I frowned some but then felt it.

Rave? I woke up and saw Echo next to me she sighed. You forgot to take your blood sugar. She said I frowned but then remembered I had to do that now. Come on you gotta go home I frowned. But I don't- you have to. She snapped I looked over at Mr. Brunner who sighed. You are required to go home if you have a health issue. But I've- come on Rave. NO! I yelled Echo frowned. I can do this, I don't need to go home! Hey the nurse said to drink this. I looked at the cup that Atticus had, he crouched and I took the cup it had a yellow liquid in it. She said it'll help bring your sugar up. I took a small drink and it tasted like my aunt's snickerdoodle cookies. I frowned but chugged it. I started feeling better pretty quickly.

What ever that nurse gave me I felt pretty good, as I walked home I stopped in at my normal stops and they were all glad to see me. I came walking out of the coffee shop and I could have sworn I saw this woman looking at me, and when she turned she slithered away. I turned and kept walking down the sidewalk I had to stop seeing weird ass things while coming out of that coffee shop.

I watched her from afar and I saw Echidna watching her. Are you watching her again? I turned and looked away from the fire. Your brother would not be pleased to know you've been looking above and making contact with her. As time grows closer to her twelfth birthday, her scent gets stronger. I said standing and walking to a box and opening it, trying to decide what to do. I need you to do something for me. What? I smirked pulling the one out and turning. Go, get this to her. Are you sure that's a wise idea? Ravenna's life is about to change. I said turning back to the fire where I saw her walking down the street. She doesn't understand the dangers lurking around every corner, get this to her make sure she is safe. And after? Come back report and we let the rest unfold. She took it from me. And this won't affect our normal agreement? Of course not, darling. She smiled some and nodded. When do you want me to leave? Now.
