Chapter 34: The hooded person

"Now as for our business." Said the Elder. "Its as Raven must have found out it is about he hooded figure." "You found him right?" I said. "No we have not. The others just got back. Not that long ago Zoro was brought here where we might be able to help him. We still don't know where the hooded person might be. Some of the last group who got back could have sworn they did see the hooded person." "Where did they see them? Do we know what they are after?" "As far as we know since you had gotten hurt and looks like they knew Zoro was your teacher, we figure they are after you for some reason." "(sigh) Who isn't after me these days. Oh I need to do something. Is there a place I can call someone privately?" "Yes in the guest room next to my room." "Thanks old man." "Still calling me old man huh? Jeeze." I giggled and headed to the guest room next to his room.

I called the boss from the place I got back from awhile back. "Hey Boss. Its Raven. I have a question for you." "Yeah what is it?" "Do you know who the people that were after me since I was little? Like when I was 3 years old?" "I heard of them. They are a small organization with 20 members. They are called Dagon. Have you heard of them?" "No I haven't but thanks that's all I need to know." "Oh I also heard that someone you know is also a member I just don't know who." "OK thanks boss. Talk later." "Yeah bye."

"Sorry about that I'm back." "OK so I heard of an organization Dagon. Apparently that organization have been after me since I was 3. I'm wondering if that could be them." It went silent all of a sudden. Then Koa broke the silence. "Are you sure it's the Dagon?" "Yeah why?" Koa looked at the elder. "the last group did say they saw one of them on the island somewhere." Said Koa. "Should we leave then?" I said. "No. As we already know they will follow you no matter where you go. I want you and your family in one room. This room has a 3 bunk bed for kids the bottom one is big enough for the younger ones and a bed big enough for two adults. The room is protected by magic. Also I will have two guards stand by and watch. Until then when you walk around be careful ok?" "Yes sir thank you. But besides that why do they want to kill me?" "Oh they don't want to kill you. They just wanted to hurt you. Just don't get yourself captured we don't want you hurt." "I will try. Thanks old man." I said. "Ok lets go get the kids and tell them what's up." I said.

We went to where the kids were and saw only 2 of them. Fox the oldest and Keeva. They went to Al to find out what happened. He looked panicked. "What happened here? Where are Ciel and Frost?" I'm sorry Raven I tried to save them but they were captured. "Mom! Dad!" Keeva and Fox ran over to us. "Was it the hooded person?" "Yes it was." "I know you tried Al thank you. You did your best I can tell." Koa go get the kids in the room that the elder was talking about I will talk to the elder." "Yes Raven." "Come on kids lets listen to mommy." "Damn it!"

I opened the door with a bang. "Raven what happened?" "Two of my kids were already kidnapped. My youngest and oldest. I sent Koa and the other two in the room you told me about." "OK I will call the guards I assigned there." He got the phone and told them their duty. Then he hung up. "OK Raven I hate to do this since they are after you, but you need to recue your kids. I will send 4 people with you." "Wait before you do sir. Do we know where we are going?" "Ah yes. Hang on." He got a map and showed me where we were supposed to go. "OK who am I going with?" "Boys come on in!" 4 guards that look about my age or younger stood forth. "Raven these are the 4 strongest men I can give you. Introduce your selves men." "Yo Nakata. Here." Said one that looked like a teen. "Nakoa." Said the other teenager. Then the two others that looked my age said, "I'm Rainer" the last one said "Ethan." "Ok good. Let's go immediately." "Raven hold on." Said the elder. "Do you have a plan?" "Me a plan? I always just wing it. I hate making plans they never go through." "Just don't get yourselves killed, ok? I will let the others know what's going on, ok?" "Thanks, old man." "Let's go guys." I said. So, we flew off.

It took us about a day and a half to get there. 'I swear if they hurt my kids they are going to pay.' I yelled my head. Rainer saw me my face and knew something was up. "Breath Raven we will save them." "I know I just want them back I want to kill someone right now." "I know don't worry you will."

We transformed into our human forms. "Ok here is the deal." I said. "You boys stay hidden. I will take the younger ones with me. Nakoa and Nakata. Rainer and Ethan stay hidden. I hate making these plans. If need you I will give you a sign. It will be a sound only us dragons can hear." "Yes maam." "Don't worry they will let me in. I will tell them you two are my guards." They nodded. I walked up to the front.

"Hello boys. I take it they have been looking for me for a long time?" "Go on in. Halt!" "Oh don't worry these boys are with me. They are my guards." "Fine go on in." We 3 went in and I saw another person. "I am here. Where is the hooded person who has been looking for me? These men are my guards leave them be." "Stay here I will go get him." We were brought to a room where we can sit down.

"Finally the one who has been after me since I was 3 has found me." I said as the person walked in. "Did you hurt my kids" "Oh I didn't hurt them but someone else could have." "If one of my kids dies you die along with everyone here." "Oh I'm so scared." "Why did you have to possess Zoro to hurt me? Is he going to be ok?" "I'm sure he'll be fine. Whatever you guys did broke my spell." "Ok so who are you? I was told someone in this organization knew me." "Yes that would be me. Rose. I knew you since you were a baby. You may have even seen me around." The person slowly put down the hood. "You? Wait we are still on the island right?" "Yes we are still on the island." Said the woman. "So what do you want from me? Nikita. I thought we were friends." "Oh we are friends. Isn't that why you are here to hang out?" "Shut up you know why I am here. Plus my brother was the one that was looking for you. He is also apart of this organization and possessed Zoro." "Ok so why are you after me? I will go get my brother he will tell you what's going on." "Before I do I want to see my kids." "I'm sorry you will have to wait for my brother on that." "Fine hurry up" Nikita went to go get her brother Dimitri.

Dimitri came into the room I was in finally. "So before you say anything. I want to see my kids." "Of course follow me." Said Dimitri. The boys followed me as well Dimitri sort of figured they were her guards. "The boys look pretty young to be guards don't they?" "Leave them alone its me you want." "Fine Fine."

"Here we are go on in." "Boys!" "Mommy!" said Frost. "Mom!" said Ciel. "Mom I pushed Keeva away and they got me. I made them drop Fox. They still got Frost though. I really tried mom." "I know Ciel you did good. You protected your sister and little brother. Are you boys ok?" "Yeah we are a little sore but we will be ok can we go home mommy?" "I hope so son. I will come get you when the time is right. For now you have to keep your brother safe ok?" "I will mom." "Good boy Ciel and I'm proud of you." "Thanks mom." "I gotta go Frost. Mommy will be back soon I hope." Ciel had to get Frost off of her. She went out of the room and closed the door. "So what now? Can my kids go home now? You have me." "Yes send your guards outside to bring them home." "How?" "haha you'd think I didn't know?" "Fine." I talked to them in their minds and told them what was up.

The other two came in and said. "OK lets get the kids." Said Rainer. I also went in. "Its ok kids. These men are going to take you to daddy ok Frost? Trust them." "Ok mommy. Mommy home soon?" "I hope so baby." "I got him mom." I hugged my two boys and told the two. "Protect my boys no matter what happens ok?" "ON our life Raven." "Go now. Before they change their minds." So the men got the kids situated on one of them and they flew off.

"Ok so what's the deal here? How are you able to find me and track me?" "Oh I have my ways not telling." "Ok so what do you want me for?" "Oh we preferred you when you were younger but we can still do it now. Follow me." I followed Dimitri.

"Ah here we are. Go on in." So I went inside the room there were 3 others waiting for me. I had a bad feeling in my gut and told the boys to get the hell out now. They listened and just barely got away. "I see you used that gut of yours. Good for you." Guys put her on the table. I squirmed and turned dragon. I used my red dragon form. "If you don't leave me alone I will burn this place up." "I'd like to see you try." Raven blew her fire and fire got everywhere but nothing was burning. I still got away but barely. "Don't worry. She will be back." Said Dimitri.

I finally got back to the island. I wasn't in the perfect condition. I crashed on the ground in my dragon form then immediately turned human. Raven had passed out. Someone had to have heard her fall so one of the guards that was with her, the youngest one Nakata found her. "Raven! Raven! Are you ok?! Raven! Raven!" A couple of others came by and helped Raven to the infirmary. Nakata went to the elder to let him know what is going on.

Raven got to the infirmary and the laid her down. "What happened here?" "I don't know looks like she got some wounds trying to get away. Nakata found her passed out." Said Rainer. "Hmm. Ha…Ha…." "Raven can you hear me? Its Rainer." They felt her head and she had a fever. "She has a fever and it's a bad one. Someone get the shot now! Its going to be ok Raven." Zoro on the other hand was there as well. He was just waking up.

"Hmm. Ow what happened." Said Zoro. The nurse that was checking on Zoro saw he was awake. "Zoro! Your awake!" "What happened?" "Hold on I will send someone for the elder."

Zoro sat up and looked around him and saw Raven. "Raven? What is she doing here? What happened?" He tried to stand up but was too weak. "Dammit I'm weak at the moment." Then the elder finally went to see Zoro.

"Zoro. How do you feel?" "A little weak and small headache. What happened?" "You don't remember?" "Ah not really?" Then the elder told him what's up. "I'm glad she's ok. What is she doing here?" "Nakata found her passed out something happened so she and her family are here. In the safety Room." "I see."

"Hmm…Ow. My head." Said Raven. She slowly opened her eyes. "Im here again huh? Hehe. No matter what I do I always end up here. (sigh)" "Raven your awake I see." I looked around to find where the voice is coming from. "Zoro?" "Yeah its me." "Zoro your ok! Thank heavens. I would run over there and hug you but you know." "haha. Yeah I know." "Zoro its Nikita and Dimitri. Ah my head. They are the ones that did this to me." "Not long after you left Raven they both went berserk. We don't know what happened. They were both in there dragon forms and was trashing up the place. I didn't know what happened. No I do." "It was Dimitri. He was the one that possessed you." "I figured as much. Hey I'm sorry for what I did to you. If you would have died because of me I don't know what I would have done." "Hey its fine. Like you said once or more times. I would come back from the dead anyway." "Haha. Yeah. Also thanks Raven. I was conscious at the time you were talking to me. I think that is why I calmed down enough for them to help me." "Yeah I couldn't leave and old friend to fall off the wagon as they say." "Yeah well." "Argh. My head." "Raven are you alright?" "I don't know something. Something is going on. Ah!" "Nurse! We need a Nurse in here!" A nurse came rushing in and saw Raven having trouble. "Raven what is it? Can you hear me? OK let me give you a shot for some pain." She got the shot ready and put it into Raven's arm. "She should be ok for now. I'll go get a doctor to see if he can find out what's wrong." "Thank you."

Zoro stood up so he could sit next to her. He just barely made it to the seat. "Zoro what are you doing here? You should be back in your bed resting." "Oh I've had awhile to sleep. I can sit here. Raven needs you though." "Yes that is why I am here." He checked on Raven and felt her head. "That's good. Her fever is gone. What in Heaven's name is this? No wonder her head hurts. I just hope the elder knows someone who can take this spell off of her." "What spell is it? Can you tell me?" "All I can tell you is it's one of those forbidden dark spells. If we don't do something soon not only will she be in danger, but everyone on the island." "No Raven." The doctor left to get the elder.
