THE RAVEN GIRL

Chapter 4

Jing brought the man in one of their abandoned buildings— classrooms that were no longer available because they burnt out.

She looked at the sky and many ravens flying in the sky. She did not know if she was just only seeing it, or even the other people? She was wondering why all of these are happening.

The wind was astonished and she felt the coldness in her bare skin. It looks like killing her soul in dispassion.

The man stands on his side while looking seriously in heaven too. She faced him while her forehead creasing.

"How did you know me? How did you choose me? There's a lot of people who can be the next raven girl, so why me? Can I still wrestle you, to prove that I am the chosen one? So, why are you here now?" she asked desperately.

He gave her a gaze using his dim deep eyes. Moreover, it breaks her tongue because of this man's handsomeness. If this man will be her prince, she will no longer against it. But the situation now is so complicated. She doesn't know what to do. Love is mysterious, and she doesn't want to fall in love with this creature.

“There's no wrestling anymore, Jing. My ravens were already chosen you, there's nothing to prove. You have nothing to say, you are the only one who can help me. I am here now in your world to guide you. I just want to make sure that you are safe.”

Jing didn't know what to say at that moment, she just smiled.

“What should I do? I'm not prepared in this situation; in that dark world. I didn't expect that your world is existing. Maybe I am dreaming. . . that all of this is made up of my imagination only, and I am still in my dream.”

She laughed softly and gazed at him with a serious look. Crows make a noise because Raven whistles abruptly. Crows made up a big black smoke in the air. The sky filled up with mist-like there was a strong storm coming.

“What are you doing?” she asked with fear in her voice.

She shivers and felt cold in her hands. So many thoughts entering her mind. Even if she is ready for her destiny, she couldn't help herself to be nervous. Raven step closed to her, pulled her hand, and jump off from the rooftop.

“Aaaaah!” she shouted!

Jing holds tight on his arms and closed her eyes for the moment she will lose her sanity, or even her breath. Suddenly, she heard him laughing so hard.

“Open your eyes, Jing. Don’t be afraid, I am here.”

She doesn't know why she lost her mind for a while because of that whisper. She let out a deep breath and felt calm. Her heartbeats now are normal. Does Raven, used his spell to make her relieved?

When she opened her eyes, she saw the beautiful rays of the sun and the big tranches of the mountains below. The people look like tiny busy ants— walking and doing their jobs that there's no tomorrow.

“Wow!” she reacted simply while smiling widely.

They fly in the sky with the black smoke. She saw the big wings of the creature beside her. Raven has big-big black wings! It was the reason why they are flying for heaven's sake!

“What's your name?” she asked out of nowhere.

He smirked, “I am sorry for being rude. My name is Raven.”

She nodded, and hold him tight when the strong wind bumps them.

"Why are you cursed? Why do you need my help? What can I do for you? Who cursed you? Why did he do that?" She quoted again to the man.

He makes a face because of those questions. Jing bites her lower lips, it seems that she should not ask. But, she is just curious.

Raven flew down and they gradually returned to the rooftop, then Raven slowly leaving her arms.

“No, it's not yet time for you to know, Jing. I need to teach you first; how to fight and face the war in my world. And, you are not dreaming. I'm real, those crows too. You are real, I am here in front of you. And about your power, it is tangible.”

She knelt and gazed at her two hands while there was black smoke coming out from them.

“How can I use this power?”

Raven pulled her right hand and point it with force on the wrecked door of the rooftop. It was hit by the black smoke from her right hand to caused the door to be ashes.

She is stunned, her whole body is shaking. She couldn't utter any words because of what she witnessed earlier. Is she still a normal human? Or, she is now a monster?

“That is your power, Jing. Not just that, but there's still hidden that we didn't discover yet. And that other power of yours is we need to find it out soon before we face our opponents.”

She stared at her two hands, there's no black smoke coming from it just like earlier. She gave a glance to Raven and the crows flying in the sky.

She didn't know who she is, she didn't like a normal human anymore, she has changed. Who she is? How come that she is the chosen one? How she got involved with this unexplainable happening?

She couldn't understand. A lot of questions running out on her mind, and she need an answer!

“From now on, Jing. I will be your shadow wherever you go. I will guard you. . . from your school or even in your home. Always remember that just call my name if you need my help. . . Until we meet again, my Ravena.”

Before she can utter a word, Raven sprung his two wings and transformed into a big black shiny raven, and then he flew away, leaving her dumbfounded. Jing sighed when she just staring in the sky were full of crows.

What she must do now? She remembered what happened a while ago, she stared again in her two bare hands while creasing her forehead. She tried to force a little bit of energy coming, she wants to see that black smoke again, but nothing happened.

Is she dreaming again? Or, this is only her illusion?

No.

This is not a dream for her, and just like Raven said a while ago.

She needs to find it out! As soon as possible.
