On a dark and warm July night there is no light except that of a dim lamp. All was calm until something that sounded like a scream broke the silence. I shot straight up from my bed and looked in the corner of my room, to see my kidnapper you could say looking out the window with the gun in his lap. He shook his head and looked at me. He's not really my kidnapper, he is more of a friend who took me from my family so that I would stay safe. I got out of my bed and stretched put my boots on and threw on a jacket. Jack threw me a gun, it almost hit the floor.

"You need to work on your reflexes" said Jack.

"Well maybe you should learn how to throw better" said Raven, smiling.
"We need to change safe houses again" said Jack.

"Seriously we just got here Jack and it is nicer than the last one" said Raven.

"That's why we need to find a new one we have to keep moving or they will find your scent and then we will never have a chance" said Jack.

"Jack I can't keep moving all the time and keep up with my training and kept fed too" said Raven, looking out the window.

"Well you're gonna have to try because I'm not risking your life anymore for this stupid war" said Jack.

"I don't even see why I got dragged into this stupid thing I don't have any special powers like my brother did" said Raven.

"You have more power then you know about darling" said Jack getting up to walk to the door.

Raven looked out the window more to see the dark clouds in the sky moving faster then she ever had before, It gave her goose bumps on her neck. She looked back to where Jack had been sitting to notice he wasn't even in the room anymore, she huffed out air through her nose and opened the window. She looked down to see if anything was below the window before she jumped out of it. Raven took off running the second her feet hit the ground she heard herself giggle when the ground shook when she landed. Raven looked behind her to make sure Jack wasn't following her which he wasn't. So she took off. When Raven was in the sky she laughed and spread her wings and dive bombed into the lake below her. Raven came back up and gasped for air she didn't think the water was going to be that cold.

"Raven you ready to go yet" said Jack cracking the door open a little. Raven where are you. Jack sees the window open and swears, Jack runs to the window and scans the perimeter before jumping out the window he didn't even hit the ground before his wings unfold behind him that's when he saw her head am-urge from under the water with a smile on her face he landed behind her but on the shore.

"What do you think you are doing out here by yourself someone could have shot you down without even aiming" said Jack

Raven wiped around so fast and gasped when she saw who it was.

"Jack I'm sorry I just wanted to spread out a little, the sky looked so inviting and it was calling to me you know how it is" said Raven slowly getting out of the water.

"Come on lets get you back inside and dried off before you get sick or shot"said Jack offering his hand to her.

Raven took his hand and he pulled her out of the water the rest of the way and started to walk back to the safe house.

"Why would you leave the safe house what if they found you, What if they took you from me, The war would rage on forever just because you had to stretch your wings" said Jack slamming the door shut.

"Because this war should not be my responsibility, or be based around me, It's been apart of my life since my brother dead and I don't want it any more" said Raven, grabbing her bag and throwing her clothes in it."

"What do you think you are doing" said Jack.

"You said we are leaving so I am packing my bag" said Raven.

"We need to train you some more" said Jack grabbing the bag from her opening the door.

"Fine as long as the next place we go doesn't have snow and maybe a bathroom inside" said Raven throwing her jacket over her shoulder smiling.

"That might just be possible well the bathroom inside any way" said Jack grabbing her hand and pulling her out the door.

Chapter 2


"Raven wake up we need to get you out of here" said Jack nudging Raven.

Raven turned her head to look at Jack with glazed eyes. Jack pointed ahead of them in the car to a sign that said (Be prepared to stop).

"Jack we can't stop they might find us" serif Raven.

"Can you hide yourself" said Jack looking at her with worried eyes.

"We never mastered that Jack I could never get passed just my hands" said Raven.

"I believe you can do it I know you can you are just as strong as your brother if not stronger" said Jack squeezing her hand.

Raven closed her eyes nice and tight and breathed nice deep breaths and next thing she heard was Jack gasp.

"What did I do it" said Raven.

"Raven all I can see are your eyes, try a little harder you are almost there" said Jack.

Next thing Jack hears is someone tapping on the window and someone pointing at him to row it down.

" Sir we are looking for a run away, she has black hair and green and blue eyes with raven wings tattooed on her back. Do you mind if we have a look in your car" said the officer.

"No sir go right ahead" said Jack glancing where Raven was.

The officer circled the car and pointed to the trunk which Jack opened, the officer circled around back to the front of the car and looked in the back seat to see two bags.

"Sir may I ask what is in the bags"said the Officer.

"My clothes and my paper work" said Jack.

I didn't know how much longer I could hold this but I was hoping the officers gave up soon.
