Raven Dark and her newly found brothers were all riding fast and furious. They took the curves in the road dangerously but clearly enjoying themselves. She was holding firmly onto the oldest brother’s back, Grey Dark.It has been days now that they keeps on riding. It took a moment before she realized they are covering the borderlines of the city of Ricardo Saint-Claire. She found their behavior curious but decided to keep quiet and learn.The motorcycles goes smoothly around the last curve as they ride back into town. From this angle it certainly was a beautiful city. They all stop just at the last hill getting of the motorcycles. The city was laying down below on open display.“Raven…” Grey called her closer.“What is it?”“Walk with me.” He start going down the hill.She slowly followed looking back but her other brothers don’t seem incline to join them. They didn’t walked too far. She noticed him looking at an old rundown house.“What is your curiosity with that old place?”“You s
"Leo do you think it was a good idea to leave? I agree we couldn't stay there. What if that doctor woman figured out he is our dad?""I am not sure either. But you did notice dad's memory is missing. I thought the jolt of electricity might helped.""I know. Do you think mommy thought about us?" Lea stop walking a moment looking back down the long road they has been on."Remember mommy and daddy told us to keep moving forward. Our paths will cross again. If brother Matthew didnt arrive...maybe daddy would have recognised us." Leo reached for her hand.Daniel Doppelganger Ricardo drove down the road. He was heading towards the B&B where Grace Stevens works and live. He had been laying low for a long time. When he received the message alert he decided to accept the request. He felt bored and restless for a while now."Where are we going Leo?" "You know that crazy doctor we fried. I thought we go to that mansion. I think it belongs to daddy.""Okay." Brother Matthew slowly drives behind
Raven woke with tears on her pillow. Her breathing was shallow while her heart still raced ahead, disguising the elusive threat of her remembered dream for crying so achingly. Her forgotten feelings and emotions made her cry anew. There within the grasp of her empty hands therein lie the ties for her ever-lasting love. “Denver…” She curled into her body trying to relief the hurt.Denver looked at the circling birds. He feels to his very bones something was drastically wrong. He looked at the reflection in the window, watching the woman who always seemed to be lurking in his background, just watching him. He looked at the birds again just knowing they want to tell him something.Lea looked at the men saying they were her uncles. She has been watching them while learning about their behavior. She has found her mommy but it would seem she just wants to cry hiding in the bedroom. She has noticed her uncles getting annoyed with her. They want her to do something but her mommy just cries so
“Denver,” Raven had locked eyes with him. She felt frozen a moment. She watched the car went off the road. It was like she timed the collision in her thoughts. “Bloody hell,” she starts to move.“Mommy! Daddy,” Lea start to follow her.The sudden running of feet made both turned around. The dark brothers was coming closer fast.“Run, Lea, run.” She screamed.“Raven,” Grey was angry and it was clear in his voice.“Leave me alone,” she start to run towards the wreck vehicle. The sudden shots being fired from there made her rushed forward. She neared the car. The strong and long arms of Grey slipped tightly around her waist forcing her to a halt.“You belong with us, Raven.”“Let me go,” she tries fighting him.“Enough!”She felt the sudden pain shooting through her head. The darkness quickly settles around her. Her last memory when she felt herself being picked from the ground.Denver slowly opened his eyes. His head felt like splitting in two. He groan moving upright. He looked into th
Two years…Raven Dark has grown up in a house she always thought as a broken heaven. Her relationship with the various few family members were very turbulent, she never has the sense of safety, peace of mind or general well-being of being within the ranks of family. Her personal issues has been revealed to her unexpectedly via a strange dream of a man looking for her. His constant image alerted that she has serious trusting issues. She senses his name on the tip of her tongue but as yet she can’t seemed to form the name. It’s driving her crazy.After a rocking dangerous start in the city, she moved and found a place she has absently started thinking about as her haven, his name is ‘Billy McAllen’. In him she found a man she can trust. It has taken a couple of months before it just dawn on her that she is in-love with him. That reality has shaken her to the core, forcing her to start thinking about what she wanted out of life. Even with everything she feels, that notion that something
Raven keeps looking between the two puzzled by their obvious undercurrent. Then her usual manner of handling problems comes to the fore, her fleeting look of unexpected jealousy so fast before the shutters comes down. Also the very uncomfortable feeling, about why was she jealous?Billy had barely noticed the shift in attitude as she smiles and appears her usual self-knowing the look that would be directed towards her within seconds. Annie looks annoyed when she glances at her sister-in-law’s usual off-hand manner, feeling the shift of change.“What’s with your attitude, Raven?”“I don’t know what you are talking about?” she shrugs her shoulders.“You and I need to have a serious conversation.” Annie practically scowled.“No need but I am open to advice. It’s clear you need some.” She smiled sweetly but her eyes were cold and guarded.Billy smiles promising himself to query Raven about her shifting of emotions watching her searches for something she clearly has mislaid again. He only
The car stops in front of the restaurant. The valet takes the key as both of the women enter the building. Raven feels on edge with a simmering feeling of darkness approaching. She looked around, Annie just behind her.Grey Dark searches the restaurant for signs of the two women. He misses them with the first look as his eyes focused on Cathy Cole Ricardo and the young girl. He was still curious about their presence but he was game for whatever she has up her sleeve. He learned from experience that she was friendly with the deadliness of a snake.Raven caught sight of the teenager. A look of displeasure washes over her face when she briefly looked at the older woman. Her attention didn’t stay there too long as she found herself intrigued with the nervous girl.“I wonder what Grey really wants from us?” Annie says looking around.Raven sees the angst in the girl’s eyes which cannot seem to break from hers until she breaks it by looking at Annie. “It must be serious if he wants to see u
Raven can’t get the image of Denver Ricardo from her mind. It was driving her crazy. She senses a kind of familiarity about him but the thought keeps eluding her. She was also aware of Billy looking at her. That man was also a puzzle on his own. She don’t know what to do.Denver stood in front of the window. He simply tuned out the raving woman behind him. Sometimes an object would be thrown his way but he just let it all bounced from his body. The last thing thrown at him was a cup of luke warm coffee that still drip down the back of his head. He stayed unmoved as his focused was on the woman with Grey Dark. He didn’t want to alert the rest but he was instantly drawn to Raven. He just don’t know why. What puzzles him too, that withdrawn teenager.“What is it about them?” he whispered under his breath.“What are you mumbling?” Clarice looked at the butter knife wondering how deep she could stick it into the infuriating man.“I should get out of here. I need fresh air and to think.” He
