Chapter 19: Reunion

"What did you do to our sister?" said Jason. "I didn't do anything. Hey you over there would you go get the girl and prove she is ok?" "Yes sir." "He will be bringing her shortly. Until then wait right here."

Awhile later Raven came out looking tired and ragged. "What did you do to her?!" "Me I did nothing. Like I said my subordinates must have done something to her." "Raven can you speak? Talk to us!" Said Jason. Raven coughed up blood. "No! You poisoned her!" Then Jason saw Raven nodding her head no. "If your not poisoned then what happened?" "I…was…being helped. Cough cough." "Go lay her back down to get some rest. We don't want her dying on us. We need her." "What do you need her for?" "Oh you will find out soon enough. That is why you are here. To watch what we are doing. I will send you boys to your rooms as well." He escorted them and they followed. "We will come get you in the morning to watch what we will be doing to her." "If we don't like it I swear to god I won't let you do it anymore!" said Jason. "Well well well aren't we being the big brother here. I'd like to see you all try to stop us."

The next morning as promised the man came and got the boys to watch what they were going to do with her. "This way boys." When they finally got there, he said "Sit right here." So the boys sat and waited. "Bring the girl in and start." They did as they were told, and laid Raven down and started doing what they did before. "Wait. You are helping her. Who are you guys really? I recognize those tests." "Why did you take her instead of telling anyone." "We told the elder he said the ball would be the perfect opportunity to do it. She might not be able to go back to the island. She will however will be able to go back home though. According to the tests she is doing a lot better." "When can we expect her home?" "In 2 days we will send her home. The elder already knows." "That's a relief." "Come on guys lets go." Said Jason. They all followed him back.

Two days later they were getting ready to take Raven home. "Ok lets get her home now. It was an emergency now she should be fine." The men gave the guards a letter and told them to bring her to the parlor. So they carried Raven to the parlor.

"Lay her down on the couch here. Easy though." "You guys go back. I will talk to the King." "Yes sir." So the others went back.

The King came to the parlor in haste. "Hello. I see you brought my daughter home ok I take it?" "Yes your majesty. I did. Sorry we took her like we did. Once we knew she was starting her powers, it was an emergency." "Very well. Thank you. You may go now." "Yes your majesty." "Rayden are you there?" "Yes your majesty." "Take Raven to her room. Then guard her door." "Yes your majesty." He picked Raven up and did as he was told.

As he was carrying her, she started waking up. "Rayden? Where am I?" "Your home Raven. I'm bringing you to your room to rest." "That's good." So she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

He laid her on her bed and tucked her in. Then when he saw a maid come by he stopped her. "Hey can you get the head maid I need a few maids to take care of Raven." "Yes sir." Then he stood guard on Raven's Room.

It had been a few hours and Koa saw Rayden said, "How is Raven doing?" "She is getting a bath right now. Then the King and Queen want to speak with her. After that who knows." "Both Clans know Raven is back now. They know she is not in good condition." "Good well at least they know now. I hope she can go back to a normal life at home." "Yeah me too."

Raven finally came out of her room, and said, "Rayden. Are you escorting me to mom and dad?" "Yes I was told to." "OK then thank you."

I was escorted to the garden for some tea. "Hello Mother, Father." I bowed. "No need for that dear." Said mom. "Please sit. Its your favorite tea. Lavender and Jasmine." "Thanks mother. So I heard you needed to talk to me about something?" "Yes we did. Do you know why you are home?" "Well I was told I was being helped when I went to wherever it was I went. I don't know why." "Well, he knew you were starting your power training on the island." "Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?" "We have to keep you here for that. Once you get under control with that if you want to, you can visit back there." "Well I guess it can't be helped. So what is it going to be like at home? Am I going to go back to a normal life? Am I going to practice my powers soon? Who is going to do it?" "Woah now slow down Raven." Said Dad. "Today you will have a normal day to do whatever. Tomorrow starts your training. Rayden will be your trainer." "Rayden did say he would train me. Is that all you wanted to tell me. I'm going to head out to the clans and say hi." "Yes dear. I'll have Rayden guard your door again. Oh and the elder explained your situation to the teachers. Zoro is supposed to come by and visit with Nikita. Next month." "OK thanks mom and dad. I'll head to the Raven clan now." "Ok dear." So I headed over.

I went to the Raven clan house, I went straight to the leader. "Hello Akela." "Raven? Is that you?" "Yeah its me. Now I remember you better that I have seen you. Have you heard anything from the guy I was with?" "I'm sorry we don't know." "Its fine. I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I'm going to start training with Rayden tomorrow after training I have to rest then I can have a normal day. Where is Koa by the way." "Oh he is at the Blue Phoenix clan right now helping then out." "Ok well after I'm done resting tomorrow from training I'll come by and say hi to the rest of them. I have to say hi to the Blue Phoenix Clan. See you tomorrow." "See ya Raven. That girl." He shook his head.

She finally got to the Blue Phoenix Clan. "Oh boy. Here I go." I knocked on the Blue Pheonix house door. (Knock Knock.) Ruka answered the door. "Raven? Is that you?" "Yes it me. Can I come in?" "Sorry yes come on in." I went in and sat on the couch. "Indigo get your but out here got a visitor!" "I'm coming! Raven! Oh my gosh your really back!" She gave me a good squeeze. "Ow easy now." "Sorry." "Its fine. I came by to say hi tomorrow I will be training with Rayden on my powers. I also wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm glad you both are doing well. I already learned to control myself. I just need to learn my powers." "Oh dear this again. Its fine Raven you were frightened. We didn't want your brother getting hurt." "I know thank you for that as well. I guess in a month instead of visitation Nikita and Zoro are coming to visit." "That would be cool." "Yeah how is everyone here?" "Oh everyone is doing fine. Koa is in the dojo right now working with the others. He should be done in an hour. OK can I hang here until then?" "Of course dear." "Thanks Indigo." "No problem dear."

An hour later I saw Koa walk in. "Oh hey Raven. How you feeling?" "I'm doing ok right now." "That's good. Hey Indigo I'm finished with the kids right now." "Ok then you and Raven can go." "Ok then. Come on Raven I have a place for us to go." "O-ok." I followed Koa to wherever he was taking me.

"Ah here we are." "Oh Koa its beautiful. I guess these trees would be in bloom its spring after all." "Come on I made a picnic." "Oh for us? You didn't have to but thanks." We sat down snuggled and ate our food. "Oh Koa I feel so bad for the people over there I just left. I hope they will forgive me." "I'm sure they will. I'm sure they were worried you were gone and couldn't find you anywhere. I know I would be. I'm glad we followed you." "You know its been 2 years and I still haven't remembered everything. I know there was someone with me but I don't know his name or who he even is. I haven't heard anything in two years. I'm worried about him." "His name was Tony. I'm sure he will show up. It may be a while but he will." "I hope you're right." Then we talked about other things and ate our food. Raven fell asleep on Koa. "Hey Raven I love you. Raven? Haha she's asleep. I'll come back for the stuff." Koa carried Raven to the Blue phoenix house. He opened the door and said, "Raven fell asleep. I'll take her to her room here." "Oh ok thank you Koa." Said Indigo. He laid her down and tucked her in. "Goodnight Raven." He kissed her on the cheek and left. Koa headed off to the castle.

"Hey guys how is everything?" "Oh its good. No intruders so far." "That's good to know. Hey do you know where the king is?" "Yeah he's in his office we heard." "Ok thanks guys."

Koa walked inside the castle and headed towards the Kings office. (Knock Knock) "Who is it?" "Its me Koa." "Come on in." "Hello your majesty." "Rise and come in. How is my daughter?" "Oh we had a picnic and she is doing fine. She fell asleep so she is resting in her room in the Blue phoenix house." "I'll just let Rayden know to pick her up there tomorrow. Oh also I heard she will be training with Rayden tomorrow and rest after. Then she has a free day is that true?" "Yes it is."

The next morning Rayden went to the Blue phoenix house to get Raven. (Knock Knock) "Coming! Bye guys! See you later!" "Bye Raven good luck!" So I went outside and saw Rayden waiting. "Ok lets go."

We went into the forest to an open space where nothing is that I would hurt. "OK so I know you at least have Ice powers. Now as for your dark side I'm assuming its fire. Let's give it a shot. Think of something that makes you mad. Just not mad enough to attack." I nodded. I closed my eyes then though of the man that left me behind. "OK Ready Raven? Take a deep breath and blow." I took a deep breath and blew Red fire. "Woah very good Raven! Now let's see if you can get that ice power out as well." I closed my eyes and thought of something sad or happy then I took a deep breath and froze the fire. "Woah pretty good Raven pretty good. Ok let's do it a few more times then it will be time to rest ok?" I nodded.

It was finally time to rest. After awhile I was fully rested and wanted to go say hi to everyone in the Raven Clan and the Blue Phoenix clan.

I saw Rayden guarding my door and told him what I was planning to do. "OK be careful out there ok?" "Hehe I will be fine." So I skipped along to the Raven clan.

(Knock Knock) I knocked on the Raven Clan house door. Akela answered. "Oh hello Raven. Ready to see everyone?" "Yeah can we get everyone together somehow? I still need to go to the Phoenix clan." "OK on it!" He ran out the door pretty quick and got everyone together pretty fast.

"Alright Raven we got everyone together on the training field." "Ok come on Akela." "I'm coming Raven."

I grabbed Akela's hand and started running. "Woah slow down there Raven." "Sorry got a little excited." I slowed down and we finally got there. I yelled "Hi Everyone!" They all surrounded me asking me question after question. "I'm fine everyone really." Then I saw Koa. "Hey Koa you're not helping the other clan today?" "No they don't need me today. The other person just got back." "Oh that's good. Oh sorry for falling asleep on you on our date." "Haha its fine. It was actually cute." "Get a room you two." Said one the girls. "Haha sorry." I said. I visited everyone else I could until noon. "OK everyone. I need to head over to the Blue phoenix clan. Don't worry I will visit again soon." I headed toward the phoenix clan.

I finally got there, and knocked on the house door. (Knock Knock) "Hello Raven." Said indigo. "We already have most of the people ready. We are still waiting for a few then we will be ready." "Ok but before I meet everyone, I was wondering about missions. I mean I have my training in the morning and I rest for an hour or 2 then I am free. I just worry that I will loose another person." "Oh Raven that mission wasn't your fault. I'm sure he will turn up save and sound someday." "Yeah that's what Koa said. It looks like he was trying to convince himself." "Well we will start you on an easy mission with one of the experienced kids. They are going to be guards. They will be leaving here tomorrow." "Ok cool I'll be ready. So where is everyone meeting?" "Here put this on." "Don't tell me another ball. (Sigh) I guess." I put on my dress, Ruka and Indigo escorted me to the castle.

When I got there, it looked like all 6 clans were there. "Dang is this all the clans?" "Yeah they wanted to see you." Said Ruka. "I don't know all of them. I only know a few Red phoenix clan members. I don't know anyone from the other 3 clans." "Hehe I know just say hi is all you have to do." Said Indigo. "OK I guess its speech time." I went up saw my mom and dad and nodded. Then I started my speech. "Hello everyone. I'm glad you are all here. This will give me a good chance to get to know people from the other 3 clans I don't know about. Thankyou all for coming on such a day to say hi. I hope you enjoy the party." I walked down and a couple people from the other clans I don't know came by to say hi. "Hello Raven. My name is Aries. This is my sister Athena. We are from the constellation clan. Its nice to finally meet you." "Likewise." Then the other 4 introduced themselves the next couple were from the Galaxy Clan the last two were from the star clan. Then I was finally free to talk to my Blue phoenix family.

"Hey guys sorry about that. So Hi don't worry I'm fine." So we visited awhile and a few people from the red Phoenix clan came by to say hi. "Oh Hey guys how have you been?" "We've been good. Glad to see you looking well." "Yeah thanks." So I visited them for awhile and the ball went on great.
