*Ravens Diary*

My mother always tells me to “be a lady” and do what men say even if I don’t want to,it’s always been like this ever since my first day in this wicked world.My father only sees me as an object that he can kick and spit on and mother does as she’s told “mind her business”.Yes my life is a bit depressing,no freedom and horrible family but at least I have one friend,William Lachaster but I call him Will,he isn’t like the other men who just use me for there babies and don’t care how I actually feel,Will sees me as a person with feelings and a heart,I feel safe around him and I always will.

I’m always watched over by the maids of this house,I can’t ever speak to them unless it’s a command to give them.I just want to be free and leave this place.

*Real Life*

Will and I meet at the graveyard where we aren’t being watched over by our vile parents.

Will:Raven…when will we be able to leave this place?

Raven:I don’t know,someday

Will:oh well,we can’t spend our days waiting for something that might never happen.

Raven:right,so what shall we do instead?

Will:you tell me

A stranger grabs my shoulder shaking

Raven:yes?

Stranger:I overheard you,you want freedom is that correct?

Will:yes

Raven:why?

Stranger:I think I can help

Will:how may I ask

Stranger:well…when I was 13 I ran away to a place which wasn’t like this place at all,it was kind and accepting which is your freedom.I think I we can find it…

Raven:where is this place?

Stranger:the place is called Solar…uhh Solar something

Will:we don’t even know your name

Stranger:right,I’m Alice but I don’t know yours either.

Raven:Raven,Raven Dolla

Will:William Lanchester

Alice:pleased to meet you,shall we get going?

Raven:thank you,for all this

Alice:it’s nothing

They started walking outside of our Village into an unknown woods,the trees were dancing with the wind,the leaves rustling on our feet,the moon was the only light in the night sky

Will:Will this take all night?

Alice:I’m afraid so,however I’m sure soon we will come across a place to sleep

Raven:why are you doing this?

Alice:…I was just going to go on my own but I saw you two in such a miserable state which I once was in so I helped out,like I said it’s nothing.

Alice:I have to tell you guys something may we stop here and camp out.

Raven:sounds good,Will?

Will:yeah,I need some rest

They park up in a already set up camp site with a bright,warm fire heating there freezing bodies.

Raven:what was it you need to tell us?

Alice:I know this sounds crazy and I completely understand if you don’t believe me

Will:what is it?

Alice:I know how to time travel,and I’m the “Witch” in that story around the village…We are going to travel to the year 2022 the year of freedom and love.

Will:it can’t be!

Raven:hey,give her a chance

Raven:can you prove it?

Alice takes Ravens hand and turns it into the bones underneath her skin

Raven:Ah!

Will:just like that Witch from that old story your Mother used to read us

Alice:Raven don’t worry

Alice takes Ravens hand again and skin grows on the bones

Raven:why are we travelling to 2022 what’s wrong with 2020?

Alice:oh dear…if we went there we will be dead

Raven:…oh

Will:I’m too tired for this,night

Raven:goodnight

Will falls straight to sleep

Alice:so…are you and Will a thing

Raven:ew no we’re just friends

Alice:if you say so

Raven:seriously I would never say a-

Alice:have you ever dated someone?

Raven:does it count as a date if you never liked them?

Alice:I think so

Raven:all the guys I’ve dated just wanted babies even though I’m not even an adult yet

Alice:same guys have always been like that

Raven:I may aswell date girls at this point

They both laugh but it wasn’t really a joke,Raven has never felt that way for a boy but when a girl compliments her she gets butterflies in her stomach and her cheeks go bright red…it’s obvious

Raven:we should get some sleep

Alice:right
