Love of Ember

Ember awoke like she did every day, the sun beaming in through the window warm on her face, as she got out of bed and headed for the bathroom Ember didn't notice the Raven sitting out of her window, but who would? no body pays much attention to birds out side. but this was no ordinary Raven, for he had emerald colored eyes and a purple tint to his feathers. Ember stared at herself in the mirror, she was a simple girl with plain features, she was medium height, with jet black hair, yes she was ordinary all except her eyes, her eyes that were the color of amethyst. Ember left the bathroom got dressed for work grabbed her coffee and sat in her favorite smoking chair as she loaded a bowl listening to her music. Ember looked at the time and realized she was going to be late for work, she grabbed her bag and ran out the door. every morning as she walked to work Ember would listen to the birds singing there morning songs and the distant sound of the cars passing by, Ember works at a psychiatric hospital as a nurse, she loves her job and enjoys being able to help her patients. As Ember rounded the last corner before the hospital she realized that it was quiet all around her, the birds weren't singing and there was almost no Cars on the road, an eerie feeling grew in the pit of her stomach as she walked in to work. Ember sat her bag down greeted the other nurses and made her rounds like she did every morning. Ember saw there was a new patient, as she walked into the room she introduced herself "hi I'm Ember I'm one of the nurses here," the man looked up at her, eyes the same color as hers and didn't say a word, just stared in disbelief. Ember exited the room and walked to the nurses station, as she sat at her station she looked at her coworkers "what with the new guy in room 11?" asked Ember. "We aren't sure he just showed up in the middle of the night, no i.d. hasn't spoken a word, he just sits there " Ember couldn't get the stranger out of her head, who was he? where did he come from? why was his eyes the same color as hers? why did he seem so familiar? As Ember walked home once again she didn't hear the birds singing, but instead a caw from a single Raven in the distance
