Forget Me Not 3 Journal Entry 2
Forget Me Not 3
It has been a long
sleepless wet night. Just as I dozed off
I began hearing voices “Raven he is over there under those shipping
pallets.” My first reaction was what
now? But that quickly passed as my eyes
locked with hers, they really were blue-green.
Before I could stop myself I uttered it “you are even prettier in the
light.” She turned bright red as her
sister ran up on us. Looking at me in a
very accusing manor, all I could say to her is “bite me all I did was
compliment her.” She looked at what I
had now figured out was her little sister who was smiling. She had already prepared for me to be very
angry, which I will admit at first I had been but seeing that moon and feeling
that rush had blown all that away. Now I
was curious and I knew that they would have to bring me with them, into their
world since I no longer existed in mine. I reached out my hand taking
hers. “Hello again my name is Jack
Rhodes and I don’t believe I got your name?”
She answered me in shock “my name is Raven.”
The car ride was very
awkward. For some reason the older
sister made the cute younger one sit with me in the back seat. The most I ever got out of her was a smile. Already my life had improved. Back in my old life I could not even get a girl
to talk to me little lone smile. I could
tell both of them were more than just a little creeped out at how well I was
taking this. But my life had been going
nowhere all I did was exist, no wonder it was so easy to erase me. I was carefully watching where we were going
and a large estate ten miles out of town left a little to be desired I guess I
was expecting a scifi’ish dimensional worm hole to open as we passed into
another world. The man at the gate was
not too happy. He yelled at both of them
and before the older sister could explain he had me out of the car holding me
by the collar of my shirt, yelling at me.
I did not hear a word though something within me broke as I crushed his
hand. Pealing him off of me like the
skin from an orange. Before I lost my
thoughts I lifted him up by his twisted arm and his throat. The next voice I heard was that of an elderly
man “young man I know he is quite rude but can you find it in your heart to let
him go?” As I came to it was as if I had
woken up from a dream. As I looked down
I saw the man who had threatened me lying horrified on the ground. “I did it again” I mumbled. The man who had threatened me scrambled to
get away from me. “Gustav means well but
has no manners” was all the old man had to say about what had just
happened. He looked at the dark haired
beauty “Raven his being here is your fault is it not?”
Her voice was shaky
“yes sir” “then the both of you follow me.”
I was busy studying everything I could see. Then we came to a doorway. I could tell she was fully prepared for the
coming lecture but I decided to stand up for her. I did something neither one of them
expected. I stopped the elder from
griping her out. “Let’s talk about my
options she feels bad enough no need to try and make her feel worse.”
The elder as they
called him was completely blind but seemed to get around just fine. “Very well young man if you would stand
before me. You are extraordinary, up
until now her older sister and myself were the only ones resistant to her
power. She has the power to affect
memory. It is a very chaotic ability and
I hope you will not hate her for it.” In
her I saw a familiar loneliness; my violent out bursts like the one with Gustav
had isolated me. “Do you understand what
has happened to you my boy?” The
question was like a loaded dare. “Yes
sir I do… Her power was repelled by a
power within me so it struck out at me in a roundabout way it could not affect
my memories so it altered the memories of those around me thus erasing my life
from this world!” Both of them were
shocked beyond words. My deductions were
one hundred percent accurate. “You are
very quick on the uptick, good I have less explaining to do. You my boy have the power of the beast within
you, an adaptable hardened survivor.
This power is largely unaffected by other powers in fact it is the most
elemental of all abilities.” Those few
words made everything in my life to date come into focus. I had survived a car wreck that ripped my
parents to shreds with nothing more than a few scratches. I could vanish into the background like a cat
almost at will. And, finally that burst
of overwhelming strength I got when I was threatened. It all made since now. The elder had more to say though “there is
more another power sleeps within you!
Raven do be a dear and show him to his new home.” He left us alone in that room. As her eyes met mine she turned cherry red
again “lead the way beautiful.” At this
point I was messing with her trying to get her to open up to me.
The room was nothing
special it had a bed and a desk plus one chair.
The elder had apparently beaten us there. A single book lay on the desk. It looked really old; raven picked it up and
quickly laid it down. “Looks like he
left you some study material Jack.”
Before I could say anything she was out the door and down the hall. As the door swung closed a foot stopped it
and I heard a light knock. “I am sorry
for the rude look earlier Jack My name is Calyst, Raven’s older sister.” She was a few inches taller than Raven and
had a similar completion. Her hair was a
lighter brown and her eyes not quite as striking. She was pretty too. “I expected you to be mad, but you surprised
me. If you need anything please don’t
hesitate to ask me.” With that I was
left alone. Just me and my journal. My foster family I grew up with taught me to
keep one and to always carry it with me.
It has come in handy but due to Raven I have had to start all over. Most would be mad at her over this but really
what good would it do? I was taught to
look for solutions not goats. This was
no one’s fault. So now I have a new
challenge I feel alive again. I am ready
to learn all I can. I have decided to
ask the elder to teach me the ways of my new world.
I noticed that everyone keeps a distance from
Raven. I wonder if she is lonely? I wonder if we could be friends or
maybe... She is damn cute! Her power, man what a mind trip. She has the ability to either consciously or
unconsciously effect causality. There
has to be more to it?! Hopefully there
is a limit to it like distance or time.
Otherwise what happens while she is dreaming? I have decided to keep this journal as a
written record of my new life.
