SEPTEMBER (PRESENT)LA. CALIFORNIA "We love Raven!” “We love Raven!!”“We love Raven!!!”The chants and cheers of fans zoomed in and out of her ears as she gracefully slid from her limo. Their hushed tone sweeping through the bleachers as members of the press take their places on the carpet. Keeping her head down, she sidled closer to her manager, Simeon—along sides were her two most trusted bodyguards. The police had roped off the area with barricades—silently thanking them, she took a mental note to do it personally.The exotic beauty loved her fans, but the thought of her stalker still on the loose left her on alert. Raven could no longer distinguish between an overly excited fan and a crazed, obsessed devotee. For this reason, the loud praises and appreciating gazes from the crowd did not have the same effect as it always did. Instead of feeling flattered, it made her skin crawl.The man or woman, she suddenly thought, could be in the crowd at that moment. It was terrifying. Th

FEBRUARY She woke up scared—heart pounding in its cage. Her breath came in struggled gasps and every muscle ached in her taut body. It was evident she had a hangover. Mouth drier than the desert—Raven could feel a wave of nausea threatening to drown her. Her blurry vision became clearer as she rubbed her burning eyes."It was definitely a dream,"she whispered.Glimpsing around, she realized she wasn't in her room. Widening her eyes in disbelief, she blinked slowly.It was her room.Still confused, she blinked once more.It was her old room. Jumping from her bed in total shock, she tried recalling the previous night's events.Wracking her brain, she got up from her king sized bed and began pacing round the room to clear her disoriented mind.Was she crazy? Was she still hallucinating?"FOCUS RAVEN."Mind still in disarray. The mysterious voice somewhat relieved her.Reaching for her phone—it was always next to her bedside clock. She stopped and withdrew her hand. The photograph of he

The sound of the alarm awakened her from her slumber. Raven shot up from the bed. Sweat trickling down her face. It was another nightmare. Her heart pounded in its cage, she was sure the muscle would stop working at any moment. The creased sheet bore evidence to another restless night and the beauty could swear she felt someone watching her throughout the night. The same feeling reality fed to her. There was that thought. The one regarding her stalker. There was that word. It scared her more than she would admit. But there was no way her stalker was present in her current dimension. Rubbing her eyes, she tried to clear her blurry vision. She wished the unsettling feeling could be cleared along with it. "Get me some coffee April," she muttered gently. Her brain updated her —sighing in dismal, she gave a mental note to increase her personal assistant’s pay after everything ends, she was extremely useful."Rose!" She shrieked still laying lazily on her bed. Rose was one of the maids i

Groaning in pain, his eyes went shut. It was happening again. Struggling to keep them open, he found his way to his bed...*****PASTWhat do you mean we have to move out!" Raven sneered.The police retained Raven and Veronica for questioning, since they were the main witnesses in the murder. After writing her statement and answering all of t

"Our father in heaven, we thank you that, through Jesus Christ, you have given us the gift of eternal life, keep us firm in the faith, that nothing can separate us from your love. When we lose someone who is dear to us..."Her mind—drifting from the priest's prayer. Every memory played like a song in her head, repeating itself for what seemed like forever. She had lost a big part of herself. She wanted it so bad, as though her very life depended on it, but it was all gone, vanished into thin air. She couldn't say it got better but it did get easier. At first, she thought grief was something bad that takes you ten feet under but, soon she learned that it was just the price everyone had to pay for loving someone.The sorrowful casket that consumed her was illuminated by the light that trailed behind her. Each thread resembled the perfection of her father. The man that had taught her everything. The man she failed to protect.The previous night, Raven and her family gathered for supper,
