Raven: Book Three Page 22


  That was—until I saw her.

  She made the world silent again, and the guilt retreated. She was my angel—my everything.

  The day I found her, I knew she was beyond the sanctioned point of saving, but she was so small, so innocent, that already I loved her. In that moment I had to change, and in that moment, I broke the rules. I couldn’t let her go, knowing that if I did, my fight to remain here would be over. I couldn’t let her slip away from me. I had to help her to live.

  Now, I fear that it was the wrong thing to do. I should have let her go. I should have gone with her. It was a selfish mistake to bring her back. Because of my actions, she suffers as I do.

  Diary of Jane Taylor

  When I think of death, I don’t see what everyone else does. There’s a soft whisper when you find it, and a voice telling us that everything will be okay.

  We never die alone, because they are always there watching over us, protecting us, and guiding us. They are silent, like a simple gust of wind, but it is in that wind that our world can change.

  Mine did.

  When the accident happened, and my father died, I was there. I saw them. I can’t remember their faces, but I know they weren’t human.

  There were two - one was the murderer, and one was my knight. I was spared. Ever since, the nightmares of death haunt me.

  Somewhere deep inside, I know that I should have died.
