Raven

The sound of debris falling around me. I was too afraid to move, but I opened my eyes and stood up slowly, "That was close" I said as I took a deep breath.

I started to look around and what I saw was hard to explain. The bus was upside down cut in half. Half of it was steaming green with a trail of holes that had black gush inside. 10 feet away was the other half which was just the truck Wreckage. I got closer and inspected the green stuff out of curiosity, it appears to be Acid.

"Elven?" I groaned as I looked around for him, my voice felt dry and it hurt, but I noticed a body on the edge of the bus. I got closer and I knew it was Elven, but he was underneath the bus doors and half his body out in the open. I though the worst, thinking he will look like a half zombie from the walking dead crawling out from there.

I ran towards him and tried to push the doors away slowly, "oh thank god!" I gasped as the doors fell, his body was completely untouched, except for a small cut on his forehead. I felt a huge relief that he was ok. "Elven?!" I moved him over and over.

"Hey wake up!" He was breathing, but no response.

I started to look around the wreckage and everything was pretty much melted or busted. Outside on the curb I saw the Bus driver with a sword and shield, which caught me off guard, But What I saw next was something that made me feel sick and even worse that made me freeze in place...  I saw the creatures he was fighting and I started to sweat "I've seen those things before... Black beaks, large black claws and hard carcass, the Ra'zac..." They where spiting out acid and clawing at him from four different sides, but the bus driver was fast and kept blocking the claws and somehow making the acid bounce back at those things. I heard some movement behind me, to turn around to see one of the Ra'zac closing in on Elven. I felt a tugging sensation in my stomach, I wanted to run away, hide, scream and cry, but there was one emotion that took over more than the others Anger.

I grabbed one of the metal poles off the floor and ran towards the Ra'zac. I slammed the pole on its head, but all it did was make the sound of hitting metal with metal and sparks flew, my hands went numb and I dropped the pole. The creature looked at me confused as if thinking, "Was that a mosquito?". Even if it didn't do anything I got its attention and it started walking towards me slowly. It opened its beak and it took a deep breath, somehow I instinctively put my hands on my ears, closed my eyes and waited.

Nothing Happened.

I opened my eyes and saw a Red Sword through his mouth, I heard a whisper that sounded like "Brisingr" My left hand started to itch, but I ignored it. Then the sword started to glow blood fiery red, burning the creature from the inside out turning it to ashes. Right behind him stood a tall man with black short hair, a scar over his right eye, Ruby red colored eyes and a wicked smile on his face, "You alright kid?" I looked around dumbfounded, I feel like I've seen him before, "Yes I am fine, thank you." I managed to say, "I don't know about my brother Elven, he has not moved at all, but he is breathing". I walked to my brother and put my hand on him.

"I can Help you, if you will let me" he walked towards me and kneeled next to my brother Elven. "May I?" I nodded slowly and he put his hand on his head, "He has a concussion, there is a cut on his head.. but its not severe" He looked relieved, his face expression changed and he took a deep breath, "Weíse Heill!" I couldn't move my eyes because Elven's forehead was slowly closing and then it was gone, like it never happened..."Are you who I think you are?" I backed away slowly, "So you know who I am Raven?" I was surprised, "Yes, you are the son of Morzan, the Traitor who helped kill the Dragon Raiders and make Galbatorix's reign secure, but Brom stopped him." He stood up slowly and sincerely I sometimes hate my own mouth for talking to much.

"Interesting, you know more than I though, alas that was centuries ago... Things change" he said looking down, "I learned from my mistakes and I am here as a friend and not an enemy... Your uncle Oscar sent me." He said as he grabbed Elven and put him on his shoulder.

"Come we need to leave, now!" He started jogging with Elven on his shoulder, "But what about the Ra'zac?!" I pointed at the other four Ra'zac on the curb with the bus driver. Murtagh stopped and looked over to the Ra'zac with a disgusted face and brought out his right hand and what he said I managed to hear it as "Stern Reisa, Thrysta Vindr!". I stood in amazement as boulders as big as cars cracked from the floor and then flew with ferocious velocity towards the unsuspecting Ra'zac, smashing them against the floor and he finished it off with saying, "Brisingr" they started shrieking and struggling, but they turned into ashes.

"Happy now kid?" Murtagh walked towards the bus driver speaking to him and I had to take a moment, too many things happening at once. I got curious and looked at a pile of trash on a corner "Would it work if I tried it...?" while thinking about the word, "Brisingr" I said softly, aiming with my left hand and the trash grew ablaze with Black Fire, I fell to my knees tired and feeling sick to my stomach. "Raven?!" Murtagh ran towards me with worry on his face and terror when he saw the black fire burn out, "you- when-... Black fire?... It can't be..." Slowly my vision faded and all I heard in the background was the sound of keys and a motor turning on. 

"Hey Raven, wake up or your going to miss breakfast again". I woke up suddenly  in uncle's manor with Elven playing with the chair swinging side ways. "What happened?" I asked Elven as he stopped mid way, "Well I don't know either Raven, but uncle has not been himself." I looked at Elven with hurry and tell me face, because I knew that from everyone else in this town He would be able to sneak around and find out the truth.

"Tell me already, I know you want to tell me since your lip won't stop trembling." He stood up and walked towards the window, his emotion changed. "I don't know myself Raven, after you fainted on the bus and I saw those black things... I didn't know what to do, I was scared and the next thing I knew after the bus turned over, I was here in my bed sleeping..." I had so many questions and very little answers, that's one thing I hated and that is having no answers at all.
"Did you eat already?" I said to him as I got dressed, "Nope, I've been waiting for you." I chuckled, Elven was always like that... That random kid that looks like he will wind up some trouble out of nowhere, but I knew better. He was my brother and no matter what has always happened between people, he takes care of everyone and yeah he is not as intelligent as me, but he is more special than he thinks... I envy him sometimes.

"Ok Elven, Let's go to the dinning room. I feel like all our questions will be answered at the table."I opened the door "Aren't you coming?, you were the one that said to hurry up!". Elven looked away from the mirror and stared down at his feet " Raven... I had a bad dream again..." I walked towards him and hugged him, "Don't worry Brother, none of that is real. Its just a dream, come on".

Raven walked away and Elven just stood there with a tear running down his cheek whispering, "But what if the dream shows you and me in a war trying to kill each other, Raven I-... I mean ofcourse I would win... But".
