The Journey to Escaping Darkness (Book 1)

Chapter 20

Edited

London's POV

Oliver and I walked into Raven's room after she woke up. She was sitting there staring blankly. She was probably thinking 'what the hell'. The doctor walked in front of us greeting us to Raven.

"Ma'am, I want you to meet some people." the doctor said opening the door. Raven just gave him the death stare.

I was scared to go in there, I didn't want to get on her bad side. I've had a front row seat once or twice witnessing her wrath.

Oliver how ever just chuckled thinking it was funny. I looked at him with a are you crazy look. He shook his head tying to contain himself.

I walked in first with Oliver following behind me. "This is London, and this is Oliver." The doctor introduced, but getting no reaction from Raven.

We walked over to her bed sitting down in the two chairs on either side of her. "Hi." I said shyly not knowing what to say to her. Oliver started laughing to himself. I gave him the evil eye shutting him up but it didn't seem to help any.

"Um, Mitchell?" I said calling behind me where Mitchell stood. He raised his eyebrows waiting for me to say something. "Did you tell her already?"

"I told her what happened, but she isn't cooperating much." he said defeated.

And of corse the stooge budded in with his comment. "How much were you expecting her to cooperate?" He asked Mitchell with a smart ass tone.

Raven looked at him with a glare. Her glares meant one of two things run, or shut up. In this situation it was kinda blurry to tell which.

"Raven, um, we wanted to take you to a home in this beautiful woodsy area. Its quiet, peaceful, and you'll get to relax-" I started, but of corse Raven wasn't having it.

"No, I'm not going." she said child like. She acted like a child on regular basis, I'm not sure why I was surprised.

"Raven, you're going." Oliver said plainly challenging her. Mitchell started to look on edge. At this point, this moment proved my suspension, Oliver was insane.

She gave him the death glare that people who have known Raven for a thousand years would send them running, but Oliver wasn't fazed. He kept his ground and told her, "You can't stay here. There might be another attack on you, and we won't risk it."

"Well I'll risk it. It's my life, I'll do what the hell I want to." She said lowly sticking to her guns.

I knew Oliver was someone who wouldn't back down, but Raven, she was stubborn. I wasn't sure who would win this fight. I would think Raven considering she was the scariest person alive, but Oliver didn't find her scary at all.

"Well I'm not going to risk it. So you and I will go to the remote area in the woods and we will enjoy it." Oliver instructed clearly and strongly.

"I said no, so that's what I mean, no." Raven said deeply and concerns for Oliver's safety were in effect.

"If I have to fight you the whole way there, then that's what I'll do." Oliver said leaning into Raven.

"Then that's what's gonna happen." Raven said leaning into Oliver with her jaw clenched and her fists in a ball. Oliver had a stone cold face and wasn't fazed by Raven's anger.

"Sounds like a plan." Oliver responded with a smirk. Raven shook her head trying to contain her anger and frustration.

She was confused and upset. Who wouldn't be? She always had an issue with not getting her way, which only caused tension for her.

I was scared for Oliver. He'll be in a remote area with one of the most fiercest people. I'd be scared to be with her in the woods in the first place if she didn't know me. And that's how it is right now for everyone, Raven didn't know anyone.

Getting to know Raven is one of the biggest challenges you'll ever face. The first thing she'll do is he be a total bitch. Then the next thing she'll find out what annoys you and keep on and on until you break. Next she'll try to see who you are and put you in all these different situations to see your reactions. Then if you've earned her trust she'll be a moody and bitchy and everything that relates to those. Then if you stay and she trusts you, she'll let you in little by little. And once you get to see the true Raven, the core, actually her, you won't want to let go...

I'm not sure if Oliver will be able to deal with her past. He seems to be able to deal with her just fine, but her past is like a five thousand peace puzzle. Understanding her is easy, understanding her past is another thing.

Oliver, good luck in boot camp Raven, your gonna need it...
