Chapter 3 - New Beginnings

Hey guys, it's been a while. I am so sorry that it took me so long to update. I was going through some stuff, and was having a hard time. I am back now, and have some good ideas for this story I hope you guys enjoy.

RAVENS POV:

As I walked down the hall with Cara I was lost in thought. (What could Mrs. Storm need? Should I be scared? Did I do something wrong? Oh no, am I going to get kicked out of school?) Cara brought me out of my thoughts by pulling on my arm. ¨Hey stop worrying, I'm sure it's nothing bad. She was probably informed by a student of what happened, and wants to see if you're OK. ¨ (I don't know how she does it, but Cara always manages to make me feel better. I don't know what I would do without her.) ¨~sigh~ you're probably right I am just anxious about everything. I have no idea what is happening to me nor do I no why.¨ Cara smiled at me, and stopped dead in her tracks. ¨ Well if it makes you feel any better you look pretty badass. I was surprised at first, but I've always known that you were special.¨ What are you talking about i'm not anything special everyone I know has a power I'm not the only one.¨ ¨Yeah, but you're the only person I know that got their powers late; and have you seen your powers? I have never seen anything like them. The electricity that ran across your body did look a lot like Tyler's though, but everything else about your powers was so different.¨ Cara started to walk again. (Should I tell her what happened back there. I don't want her doing anything stupid.) ¨Hey Cara I should probably tell you something.¨ Cara looked at me. ¨Sure what's up.¨ ¨~sigh~ Well before you came into the classroom Tyler tried to attack me with his power, and I have a feeling that had something to do with me using it.¨ Cara looked pissed I could tell that she was about to turn around, and go back. I told her that I'm OK, and wasn't hurt. That seemed to calm her down a bit. ( I forgot for a moment that I needed to talk to Mrs. Storm, so when we arrived at the door all of the nerves that once settled came crashing down again.

CARAS POV:

(As we approached the door I could tell that Raven was nervous.) ¨Do you want me to come in with you, or wait out here?¨¨~tch~ is that even a question?¨ Raven grabbed my hand, and knocked on the door. I smiled to myself as we entered the room. As we walked in Mrs. Storm was sitting at her desk to be reading what looks like an old book. Mrs. Storm looked up at us, and told us to sit down, because we needed to discuss something important. ¨Please tell me I'm not getting expelled no one was hurt I promised I didn't mean to do anything bad¨ Raven said. ¨no no no dear it's nothing like that, but there is something that you need to know, and I need you to listen carefully OK.¨ (I felt better that she wasn't getting expelled, but now I was curious to know what she was talking about) ¨o- OK what do you need¨ Raven said. ¨~ Well there is something you need to know, and it's kind of a lot, so we are going to be here awhile.¨ Mrs. Storm said. ¨Mrs. Storm what's going on?¨ I said. ¨Raven have you ever heard of The tale of the black wings?¨There was silence for about a minute ¨No what is that?¨Raven asked ¨Well it's a prophecy about a child who was born into the world with no powers whatsoever. It was said that after the baby was born she would have to be given to a different family that wasn't her own. She would go through life with no knowledge of what she really was in till she unlocked her powers. This child's powers would be out of this world. They have the ability to control fire, and they would have wings as dark as a raven. That's not it though they also have the ability to manipulate any persons powers at will. They can also make the power better than the original user can.¨ Raven interrupted Mrs. Storm ¨wa ww wait what are you saying¨ ¨Well Raven you (there was a pause) you are this child.¨ (I was shocked I didn't know what to think, but I was still confused this doesn't make any sense at all) ¨Raven Cara listen to me i'm not done.¨ Mrs. Storm looked Raven straight in the eyes. ¨Raven now that you have unlocked your powers, you need to practice mastering them. There is something in this world bigger than all of us, and we won't be able to survive it without you. I can't tell you what exactly, because I don't know, but you are the key to survival. I am sorry to put this on you, but you will understand when the time comes.¨ ( I could tell that Raven was about to burst, I could tell she was confused and scared. I didn't know what to do. This is all so new what am I supposed to think?)

RAVENS POV:

(Is this all some joke or dream I'll wake up from? This can't be real, but deep down I know it is) I looked at Cara, and I couldn't see her brave face she always put on instead I saw confusion. I looked back at Mrs. Storm and she looked worried. I knew I had to say something to her, but then I realized what she actually said. ¨ Wait did you just say that I I was given to a different family? Are you saying that tha- that my parents aren't my parents?¨ (At that point I knew that it was true, because all Mrs. Storm did was look down in guilt. Tears started to stream down my face, and I couldn't keep it in anymore. I was a wreck. I have been lied to my whole life, even the people who I thought were my parents weren't really them. At the same time I felt relieved that it wasn't actually them, because they hurt me more times then I count. At the same time it doesn't change the fact that I still love them, but it makes me wonder who they really are. Why did they leave me; and why was I given up to people who hurt me?) ¨Raven I´m so sorry I know it is a lot.¨ Cara came up to me, and looked me in the eye. ¨Hey it's going to be OK I promise you still have me, and nothing will ever change that.¨ I wiped my tears, and said ¨Thanks Cara.¨ ¨~etemm~¨ We both looked back to Mrs. Storm. ¨Raven I know you just heard a lot, but there is something else you need to know, and now that you have your powers I think it's time I tell you.¨ (I didn't know what to expect.) O- OK.

MRS. STORMS POV:

(I was scared to tell her I don't want to set her off, because I knew it probably would. She has been through a lot, and I don't want to make things worse than they are. That's what makes this ten times harder to tell her.)

¨~inhale~ Raven I´m your mother.¨
