Silence Before the Plunge

[Raven Roth]

Vince & Repa left the two alone for a while. As they were still in the same sopt....
Raven finally lifted her head off his shoulders....And looked him in the eyes....he was just as handsome as ever...."You never gave up on me.....I love you....Matt...I'm sorry....I hate myself....He took my baby away....Our son is gone..." She had the most saddest look on her face. Even after all of that has happened....She was still worried about her son....Like only a mother would do.....She was sure Matt may understand....

Matt nodded and stroked her hair comfortingly. "I'll get him back," the man promised. But a dark thought lurked in the back of his mind. Wouldn't it be better to kill the child. If they killed the defenseless one, the Universe here today would have to disappear. But he couldn't say that to Raven; she would almost surely hate him for it. So instead he just sat there, promising to help.

Raven was so tired. She was so sad as well. But in a way she was happy. Her mother had brought her back. And for that she owed her mother everything. For it was Raven who decided to end her own life....Raven just nodded at him. "Just hold me now...Please....I really need you....I need your love for me..."

Matt did as he was told. He wrapped his arms around her firmly and drew her close into his chest. There he held her, rocking her softly, he face pressed into her hair, breathing deep of her scent. He never wanted to lose it again. He had to keep her alive. And if he had to break her heart to do that, that was what he had to do. With that thought, he tightened his grip just a little more and sighed.
