Curse or a Gift? I don't know..... - BB (story read aloud TXT) 📗

up early." "Why? You run away?" "No I wanted a smoke." I said putting the cigarette out and burrying them. "What's your name?" I asked him. "Cain Crane" "Nice to meet ya Crane." I said as I shook his hand, feeling a nice, a pleasent shock go through my hand and his whole life passed before me. When we broke apart we both asked "You went through all that?!?!?!" "ya..." again we answered at the same time. Chewy had been chewing away at his deer when Jeremey came up to me and I said "Hey bro! Why up so early?!" " It's two in the afternoon." He said his face hard and cold. "o. Well I said I was going out to feed chewy didn't I?" "Ya, but you were gone for like 14 hours!" He yelled at me. "Well it took me awhile to find him, since he looks like a mountain!" I yelled back. "Whose he? You know your on our territory without permission right?!" "Jer!" I said pushing him back. "I told him, he didn't know we lived here! OK?! Jesus Christ! Do I ever get a chance to be alone without one of you hovering over my shoulder?!" I roared shape shifting into a beautiful black dragon with red markings. I roared black flames flying everywhere. I lifted off, my wings the size of the city of San Francisco each, and picked up Cain and flew away. "Raven!" He yelled falling behind fast because one beat of my wings now was about fifty of mine and 200 of his. "Raven! Please! I didn't mean any harm!" He shouted. "RAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed, landing on the ground crying. "RAVEN!!!!! RAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!RAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed, louder each time.

Jeremy's P.O.V.

As I saw her fly away, I screamed her name. I curled into a ball and made a shell around me with my wings. I heard my family comming and I kept mumbling "I failed, I failed,I failed" I didn't know how long I was like that, because I just kept counting the ways I failed. I had failed. They tried to open my shell and give me food or water, but I had failed I don't deserve it.

Raven's P.O.V.

I had stayed at Cain's for a while, cooling down, when there was a knock at the door. I got up and got it. My face went stone cold and I set my face hard. It was Jake with a tear streaked face. "You g..g..o..ttttta help hhiimmm. He hasn't eatteennn or moved just mmumbling he failed. You gottttta help him!" My face had sofened somewhat. He was talking about Jer. I felt Cain's arm wrap around my waist. I looked up at him and said "He's my brother I.." "I understand." He said kissing me. I shape shifted and told my brother to get on my back. I apoligetically looked back at Cain, and he smiled and shooed me off. Now that is a true man. I lifted off, in there in seconds. I shifted back, but still had the huge wings. God I hopped I could help. I gently sat doown on the bed and heard him mumbling. "Hey Jer Jer. Jer, can we go to the movies, ther's this new one I want to see. I think you might like it." I gently stroked his wings, when I heard a loud "CRACK!" and the wings began to unfold. "Your alive or am I dead?" I heard his hoarse wisper. "I'm very much alive." His wings contiued to unfold. When they were fully out I jumped in for a hug. "I missed you Jer Jer." "I missed you too." Then suddenly it was dark. "Jer Jer what just happened?" "I dunno." He said as he reached up and felt my, MY wings around us. The humongous dragon wings. I gently unfolded them and he tried to get up. He wobbled and almost fell, but I caught him. I picked him up and flew downstairs. I opened the fridge, and began cooking, as soon as it was out it was gone. I then heated him up some blood, and he returned to his natural color.

Jeremy's P.O.V.

As I saw her scramble around the kitchen getting me things to eat, I saw how much she cared. She loved me, I guess she was a little mad because we hovered over her a lot. I saw our parents come through the door as I was finishing the glass of blood she gave me and she put another plate in front of me and another glass of blood. My parents jaws dropped to the floor. She didn't notice she just kept cooking and adding more to my plate. I have no clue how we never get fat.... She saw them and almost dropped her spoon, but regained composure. She continued to cook, only invisible now. More food. My parents faces dropped when she disappeared from sight. Then I was squished in a hug from all sides. "EXCUSE ME BUT HE NEEDS TO EAT SO GET OFF HIM!" They all turned and looked at her, spoon in one hand and pot in the other. She looked pissed. She put the food on my plate and went back to cooking. My idiot brothers grinned at each other, and then my parents, who grinned back. They charged her and squished her. "um...I have to feed him." she said under the mass of bodies."S'ka I'm full." My father broke off from the hug and said "It's wing measurement day." We all groaned, except Raven who went deathly white. We all shuffled outside and she was first.

Raven's P.O.V.

When he said that, all I could think was "OH SHIT!!!!" My father called my name first and they all backed up. I heard a big "Woosh!" and heard them gasp. I turned around and looked at the glass. I had my dragon wings, which were not the usual dragon wing, nope there was scales the entire length, which like I said each one was the size San Francisco. My father went pale white and I quickly folded them and I thought of my raven wings, so then I heard a new "Woosh!" and those wings were back, only same size. I folded those too and went to hide behind Jer. The day went by just like normal, but my father got a call and he went into the other room. "DING! DONG!" " I GOT IT!!!!!!" I screamed and ran to the door. I slowly opened it, seeing Cain. "CAIN!" I screamed, while jumping on him and giving him a hug. " Wait, my dad, we gotta hide you!" But too late, my dad was standing a few feet behind me tapping his foot. I stood in front of Cain, arms spread wide. " I'm not gunna hurt him, I invited him over." "Oh." I tilted my head backwards and saw his smiling face. I spun around and brought him inside. "JAKE, ADAM, JER, MA! COME MEET CAIN!" I yelled. It sounded like a heard of dragons was coming down the stairs. I entwined my hand in his and felt the pleasant electricity. "I love you." I heard in my head. I looked at Cain and told him through my mind "I love you too."

Jeremy's P.O.V.

I heard her yell for us to meet Cain. My face was stone cold. I swear to god if he hurts her in any way I will personally kill him. I walked down stairs after everyone else, and stood in the back while everyone asked him questions. Then Jake asked "How'da meet Raven?" putting an arm over her shoulder. "I went out flying and he walked out of the woods, then Jer came, I got pissed, turned into a dragon, flew away stayed at his house to calm down, talked, then you turned up in tears." She said giving him a big smile. " YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT PART!" he wined/ yelled. We all laughed. "You arrived in tears?!?! The same guy who threw me out of the sky?!?!" I said laughing. He shuffled his feet and broke the silence by saying "WHO WANT'S TO PLAY AIR BALL?!" "ME!" we all yelled and headed outside. I knew whoever was team captain would want Raven because 1) she was fast and 2)she could bat you out of the sky in a second.

Raven's P.O.V.
"Jeremy's a team captain and so is Jake. Raven pick what team you want to be on." My father said. "Jer Jer!" I yelled jumping in his arms for a hug. "Damn!" my brother whispered. "Dad." Jake said. I saw Jeremy sigh. "Cain." "Yay!" I yelled and gave Jer a kiss on the check and a hug. "Adam." "Mom." "DOWN!" I yelled. They all hit the ground. I heard a really loud "WOOSH! FLAP! FLAP!" I saw the enormous dragon wings covered in scales. The other team groaned. Our team stood up and let their wings out. Everyone gawked when they saw Cain's white wings. "Will you STOP staring?! They are just a different color! Geesh!" I said. "EVERYBODY UP!" my father yelled. I had the ball first. "RULES ARE, 1) NO SHAPESHIFTING 2) NO ELEMENTAL MAGIC AND 3) NO WEAPONS and hand them over if you do Raven, cough cough." I sighed and gave him my grenades, knifes, guns, gas bombs, swords, ninja stars, and throwing spikes, but what he didn't know was that I had an extra knife, which I would not use, but always kept on hand. "GO!" My father yelled. I flew toward the other teams post and was there in a second. Everyone looked around for me and they looked toward the post and I said "Hi! What took ya so long?!" with a huge smile on my face. Their mouths dropped to the ground except Cain and Jer, their smiles were huge and I could see the pride in their eyes. They all flew at me. I gave one flap up, and they all ran into the post, they flew up and I down and scored again. In the end we had 2,000,000,000 and they had 2. I smiled as I jumped up and down in the air and said "Ya! We won!" My father gave me back my weapons. I dove towards the ground and landed. I walked inside and found a very big surprise. I screamed, it couldn't be, my mother and my brother and they had guns and knifes to kill me.

Jeremy's P.O.V.

We had won and she had disappeared down back to the house when we heard her scream. Not the kind of happy scream, the blood curtailing scream of fear. She was never afraid, ever. We all dove down and went into the house and found her rocking back and forth in a ball in a corner. Her old mother and old brother who had knifes and guns strapped to a wall by nets that she had that stuck to any surface and were unbreakable. " You little brat! I'm gunna kill you! Your a freak of nature and shouldn't live! I'm gunna kill you!" Her old mother kept screaming. I saw terror in my sisters eyes. She was never afraid. This woman must of done some bad things to her. I ran over to her, picked her up and walked downstairs to the couch, so my family could take care of them. I cradled her in my arms, but I think she went into her flashback mode. "Raven..." I whispered. "Raven..." she wouldn't respond, so I used my gift, which I never used. I touched my hand to her forehead and went into her mind. I had no clue what I was gunna find there.
