Chapter 49- The Raven Leaves the Nest and Finds a Waterfall
Somewhere else, Amber Lifted up the door. She turned back to make sure no one was looking. "I'll be back". She whispered to Eve's family. Then she continued her venture.
She popped up in a room filled with dust. It was almost looked like an attack accept weapons were hung all around the walls. She pulled her self up from the ground. She scoped the area further. Her eyes hit a small chest labeled Piper's. Curious, Amber walked over and lifted the top.
There was nothing special. It had old toys, a few ballerina figurines, pink accessories, etc. Amber dug to the bottom. She found a bag of pictures. The bag ripped, and a few fell out.
"I'm so clumsy" she said to herself.
When she started to pick them up, she noticed one when Piper was little. There where many things Piper changed about herself, but her hair was the most noticeable. Instead of her died red hair, her hair was bleach blonde and she kept a them in high pig tails.
Then she looked at the person right next to Piper. He was a few inches taller. Then she noticed how similar he looked to.....no? It couldn't be? No! But he's so, why would he-
"I'd put that picture down if I where you". Amber did so. When she turned she gasped.
"Oh don't act surprised"
"But, you, aren't you with the others. H-how are you here"
"They're sleeping" he growled.
"Well then lets go! This place is starting to creep me out. I just saw a picture-"
He grabbed her arm before she could jump out the door. "You aren't going anywhere"
"What"
"Don't you get it? I'm here with them"
"Let go of me" Amber yanked her arm away from him, "you spy!"
He shocked her with a taser. Amber collapsed to the ground. "Spy, that's not the word I would use. I'm more of a hunter"
Hula licked Eve's face. Eve grabbed the dog and sat up, still shaking. She yawned and looked around. David still laid asleep. Matt and Casper slept soundly by the lake. She couldn't spot Raven. The only other people awake were Bailee and her father. She kept quiet so she could hear the conversation.
First it was muffled, then Bailee bolted up, "You mean you've been helping them! Why!"
"Bail, try to understand. I only did it to bring your moth-"
"She's dead! I saw her on the ground! I went out and got the killer. Was that not enough for you? You've been gone for so long. I want mom back too, but I wasn't going to leave you behind"
Casper and Matt jolted awake at her shouting. Casper walked up to Bailee and hugged her. Bailee cried in his shoulders. Mr. Woods felt guilty.
Matt turned to Eve. "What happened"
Eve responded, "I don't know, but Bailee's upset with her father".
Eve walked over to Mr. Woods. "What is going on"
He rubbed his forehead. "I've been helping the master by finding research on that necklace of yours. I didn't know that I was doing anything wrong, trust me. He told me I could bring back her mother. I hoped she would react differently"
"She'll understand just give her time" Eve turned to Bailee and Casper. David appeared beside her holding Hula.
"What happened", he yawned, "Where's Raven".
Eve walked up to Bailee, who calmed down a bit. "Bailee, he's not a bad guy. I promise, but we need him. He's been her the longest"
"No duh" Matt looked at her.
Casper still held Bailee, "How can we trust him. He's probably a spy"
"When I asked him about you, he seemed so worried and concerned. He's been longing to see you Bailee. He just wanted to make you happy" Eve tried to put it the best way.
"I won't forgive him, but I'm not slowing us down because of it. We're losing time anyways". She shoved Casper off and wiped her tears away. With a glare, she walked past Mr. Woods and washed her face in the water.
Mr. Woods sighed. "I'm such a screw up"
"No-" Eve began to say before someone cut her off.
"Raven is missing!" Matt yelled in her ear. She slapped him in the face. "Hey, what was that for"
"Don't yell in my ear. I swear, I wish you were missing". She then realized what Matt said, "fudge pops in a bag, where is that girl. We need to get going"
"Guess she wanted to go since last night" Casper butt in.
"Where can she be"
Somewhere In The Caves
Raven sang quietly to herself. She remembered that Amber would sing it all the time, and she would call the song annoying. Raven secretly loved the song. She started to cry a little. Then she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. "God, I miss her"
"Who"
The sudden outburst startled her. She found someone, or Neptune, earlier and thought he was an injured captive of the master. Neptune feared her, but saw how sad she was.
She wiped her face with her sleeves. "N-no one. Are you okay"
"Yeah I am fine", which he lied about. He wanted to cry as much as she did, and his body ached with every movement, "What's wrong with you though"
Raven contemplated the options in her head. It's not like he would survive out here to tell anyone anyways, so why not? "It's just", she sighed, "have you ever not known how important something was to you until you've lost it"
"Yes, that's literally why I'm tossed out her. I bet it's a person"
"Wow aren't you the mind reader", she laughed, "Yeah, it is a person. A pretty, nice, caring person"
"I bet he's a keeper", He winked at her.
"He's a she, and yeah, she is a keeper until I lost her. I know she's alive. I'll find her. Somewhere in this place" She looked down with a sniffle.
Suddenly he embraced her in a hug. She was disgusted by the affection, but let it happen. "Why are you hugging me"
"Because you need one. I hope you find your friend" Neptune held on to her.
Raven started to bawl. She wasn't sure about the last time she got a hug, but it filled her with a tingly feeling. "Thank you".
"You are an ugly crier"
"Shut up"
