Chapter 16: Poisoned

I went to my Dorm with the boys, and Nikita went with her brother somewhere else. "So Raven can you tell us at least who saved you?" Said Jason. "Yes I was saved by a man named Sage and his son Zyler. He made this for me." I showed them a sculpture of a mermaid. "Woah so he's a carver as well? Is that bamboo he carved with?" "Hehe yeah. He said he would like to meet you too. They said they would be here shortly for business." "They helped me out the little time I was there. He was like a brother to me. Zyler was. They told me I had been shot and I still have the bump on my head. It should heal in the next few days." "Oh Raven." My brother Jason came over and gave me a hug. "You've been through a lot huh? I'm so sorry." "Hey its fine. I've got Zoro and my roommate Nikita now. They have been helping me out. I just wish I knew what this man named tony was up to now? I have a feeling he was a good guy." "Yeah he was." Said Koa. "Oh you knew him Koa?" "Yeah he came by the castle you remember. As for the people you attacked, they are fine. They were Ruka and Indigo they were in the Blue Phoenix clan." "So we are separated into clans?" "Yes well we are separated into clans by our skill. You were first in our clan for a short time then you ended up with the blue phoenix." "Oh is that so? Is your clan by any chance Raven? Is that why you made this for me?" "Yeah its cheesy I know I just couldn't think of anything else to make at such short notice sorry." "Its fine Koa. I'm sure I loved you no matter what anyway." "Yeah you always say that." "I do?" Then I paused a moment and tried to remember. I had a light pain I could handle remembering it. "I remember saying it to someone can't remember who." "I'm sure I will remember you soon. I hope its before you two leave." "Yeah we hope so too." Said Jason. I gave them both a hug and squeezed each of them. "Oh I wish I could remember you both. Especially my boyfriend and brother. The two most important people in my life." "Hey its ok Raven. Breathe." "Sorry Koa I know." "Well its almost time to head to the guest rooms." Said Jason. "One more question for both of you. Jason how are mom, dad, and everyone?" "Worried about you but fine." "Koa how is Everyone in your Raven clan was it?" "Yeah Akela is doing good so is everyone there. Nani and Lani were in tears once they found out you were missing haha. You should have seen them when they found out you were alive. Damn!" "Oh that's good. Next visiting time who is going to come? Will you both come again?" "Oh Raven. I will be coming every time. As for the other person coming, that depends on who has time. Everyone at the castle is busy on missions." "Oh I see. That's understandable. Jason just don't die before I remember you or I get home ok? Promise?" "Yeah I promise." "Ok now we really need to go." Said Jason. "Ok see you tomorrow." "Yeah sure." I went to sleep before my roommate got in.

The next morning, everyone went to classes like normal. It was training for us right now. My brother and boyfriend get to see me with a sword since they haven't seen in awhile. "Ok Class. As you know our family and friends are here today. They will get to see how we are doing. Lets show them what they can do!" said Zoro. "Yeah I forgot to tell you. Zoro is my sparing teacher. We spar with weapons, swords and fists. Actually since it's a special occasion, I have an idea. Once we get to the field that is."

After Roll call we headed out to the field. "Yo Zoro! I have an idea. You think I'm up for sparing with you? Do you think I need to rest first." "I would prefer you rest first, but knowing you, you wouldn't listen." "Yeah you know me to well. Hehe." "OK everybody another special treat! Raven has just challenged me to a sparing match!" Then everyone cheered I couldn't remember why. I guess I will find out after. "OK Jason and Koa keep your eyes on me ok?" "Yeah we will." Said Koa. "Ok then. First one to get tired looses ok?" "Oh come on!" "Hey that's my compromise. I don't want you to die on me." "Fine then. Lets go already." Then we started.

Halfway through I had a small headache. I just brushed it off. We were finally threw and I won. I coughed up blood. "NO! Raven! Hey Raven! Speak to me! What happened?!" "P-poison. Your sword poisoned." Then she passed out. "Alright class dismissed early today. Hang on Raven. I will for sure find out who did this!" Jason and Koa were running with him as well. So was Nikita.

"Someone help? Raven has been poisoned!" "Until we test the poison we can't do anything! Where is she wounded?" "Everywhere. We were sparing and someone must have poisoned my sword. Once we were done it took effect. She coughed up blood." "Wait did you say cough up blood? Are you sure it was blood?" "Well it looked dark enough to be blood." "Ok good. We have the antidote. You said she started to have symptoms after you fought right?" "Yes we only fought for about an hour." "Ok then I know just what to do." "Yohan. Get the antidote for you know what!" "Really? That bad huh?" "Yes now hop to it. She doesn't have much time!" "Hang in there Raven." "Raven its your brother Jason and boyfriend Koa. I promise you will be ok. I promise."

The next couple of hours, she woke up. "Hmm. My head. Ha….Ha…." 'Who? Who are these people? I feel like I should know them. I think I do. Jason? Koa? NO way.' "Jason and Koa. Your crushing me. I can't breathe." "Raven you came back to us!" "Yeah I did." "Wait you just called us like you remembered us." "Yeah I do now. I guess it took me to get poisoned to do it. I mean halfway through I had a little headache but then I coughed something up." "Its ok now Raven. They gave you the antidote. So are the dragons here supposed to have powers or something?" "Yeah once they start to learn not to attack, that's when they learn about magic." Said Zoro. "Oh Hey Zoro. I finally remembered Jason and Koa. Where is Nikita?" "Oh she is good. She is in her room with her brother." "Oh ok good."

"Ah my head." "Are you ok Raven?" said Koa. "I-I don't know. Ah!" "I'll go get help." Said Koa. "OK I'll stay with her." Said Jason. "We need a nurse now!" A nurse followed Koa over to Raven. "Ah!" "Raven can you hear me?!" said Zoro. The nurse checked Raven to see if she could help. "I can only give her something for the pain. I think this is result of remembering. We need to let her rest now. You two can stay with her. Zoro you need to go do your business I will let you know what her results are." "Yes ma'am." So he left. Koa and Jason stayed with Raven.

Raven was still unconscious and she was calling Jason and Koa. "No. Jason Koa. Stay away. You'll get hurt." Jason was putting a cold cloth on Ravens sweaty head. "Raven its going to be ok. We're right here. We're not going anywhere." Said Koa. "Dammit! I wish there was something we could do!" said Koa clenching his teeth. "Breathe Koa. Raven will be fine. You should know by now." "Yeah I know."

Raven was slowly waking up. "Hmm…Ha…Ha…Jason? Koa?" "Yeah, we're both here Raven. How you feeling?" "I-I feel ok I guess." She tried to sit up but her head hurt. "Ah my head." "Easy Raven. Slowly." Said Koa. "W-when can I get out of here?" "Its up to the nurse." Said Jason. "I'll go get her." She nodded.

The nurse came by and said, "How you feeling Raven?" "I'm feeling ok. As long as I sit up slowly, I'm fine." "OK well everything looks good. You can leave today. If there are any other problems come right back, ok?" "Yes and thank you." Koa and Jason helped her up. "Thanks guys. What time is it?" "Well it looks like its lunchtime right now." Said Jason. "Oh good. Maybe we can meet up with Nikita."

They finally got to the lunchroom, and I saw Nikita in the lunch line. "Raven why don't you go sit down and rest. We will get your lunch for you." Said Jason. "Yeah I will in a sec. I see Nikita in the lunch line."

"Hey Nikita. I'll be at our table with my brother and boyfriend if that's ok?" "Raven! Good to see you out! Of course, its ok." "I'll be waiting over there for you." "OK then."

Everyone finally showed up to the table. "So what's been happening while I've been sleeping?" "Oh nothing much. Same stuff different day type of thing." "hehe I bet." Then they visited for a bit.

Someone sinister was waiting to plot for the right moment to grab Raven. "Haha. I'll wait till those guys leave. They look like they will be a handful. Then when she turns 18 that's when we will strike. We need to make a plan." "I know sir. I know just the plan if we are waiting 2 more years."

My friend and I were in our dorm room with our visitors. We both had a good time until they had to go to their rooms for the night. "Goodnight Jason and Koa." I walked them out. "I'll go ahead." Said Jason. "OK I'll catch up in a minute Jason." We stared at each other for a minute and I gave Koa a hug and a nice kiss on the lips. "Good night Koa. I know you guys only have a few days left. It feels like forever." "I know. It will be here before you know it. Oh yeah. Jason wanted me to ask you. Who do you want to come over next with me?" "Oh um its next month so maybe Akela if he has time off. I sort of remember him but I want to see him just in case." "Ok good idea. Night Raven." He kissed me on the head. "Night Koa." I watched him until he was out of site then I went back inside to get warm. "I'm a little tired Nikita. I'm going to sleep early." "Yeah you need it. Goodnight." "Night." So I went to sleep.

The next morning Koa was waiting for me and Nikita's brother were waiting for her. "Hey Koa. Where is Jason?" "Oh he's talking with the elder. He will meet us in the breakfast room later." "Oh ok." So all 3 of us headed for the breakfast room.
