She’s watched like a hawk. A bird who hunts her prey, witnessing their every move, anticipating their reaction. She moves throughout the darkness as fast as lightening, as slick as snake.
This woman is all that they say. Heartless, selfish, and heroic. She’s a killer, with the face of an angel, and the grace of a cat.
Her companion is the exact opposite of everything that she is. Whereas she is dark, her companion is light, and fair. Where darkness surrounds her aura, light is infected into the other half.
They dance together in the darkness, yet fight and feel so differently. Where the light speaks her mind and opens her heart, the dark represses everything that surrounds her, and manipulated many men to gratify her dark needs.
Yet she is lost, a broken soul who has no sense of right or wrong, and knows no boundaries of what her limits are, what duties she is required to fulfill. She just knows to words, gratification and kill.
They come to take her soon. She objects, but they steal her away from the dark one. He’s the only one who can save her, who can help find herself, but they want her gone, dead perhaps.
She complies with them for short increments of time, until just the right distraction, where she is able to use her power and knocks them out. She runs off, to the water, where her companion, the light, finds her.
They have their differences, but they always come together for the kill. They are separate entities, yet mold as one in their duties.
The raven saves the sun, but at the same time damns herself to the darkness. She is gone forever, and will fly away with the knowledge that she is darkness incarnate, a replica of a raven, moving throughout the darkness never to be heard from again.
