Once my hand had been treated by a cop who also was knowledgeable in the medical field, there was a brief investigation before all the guests for kicked out of the house.
No one was able to find anything, not a single clue or finger print anywhere, well, other than the ones that belonged to the people who lived here.
I of course, I had come to my own set of conclusions, and as everyone sat together in the living room, I was very quick to share.
I pointed at Kayla, eyes almost seeming to glow with anger and suspicion. “You sent me upstairs,” I accused and clenched my uninjured hand into a fist. “You said Cross was up there, but he wasn’t,”
Cross narrowed his eyes at Kayla. “I was outside, taking out the trash,”
River sighed, and I was beginning to hate that sound. “Raven, why would Kayla work with someone to kidnap you?”
I looked at my wrapped hand before glaring at Kayla. “I’m still trying to figure that part out, but,” I looked at River. “I don’t want her here anymore,” Kayla stood and placed a hand on her heart. “Raven, I would never hurt you!” I clicked my tongue.
“Yeah, cause you want me alive,”
Kayla flushed and opened and closed her mouth, seeming stunned by my accusations. Which was silly, because I was never wrong.
“Enough Raven, you need to think this through,” River told me and glanced at Dune, who nodded in agreement to his words.
I stood, furious. “Home is somewhere I’m supposed to feel safe, and ever since she arrived it’s been one thing after another. Why is she even here?! She has a life elsewhere!” I exploded.
Kayla burst into tears, and my lip curled in disgust when Fin comforted her. “Raven!” River scolded and placed a hand on his forehead. “That was a very traumatic experience, I know you have mixed feelings about Kayla, but please, just stay calm so I can think.”
My chest heaved and I looked at Lion, who quietly regarded everyone in the room. My eyes drifted to Cross and Fallon, who were sitting on the same couch.

Fallon was incredibly pale, but had yet to say anything. Cross, he was glaring at the wall, not moving. I began to shake with anger and River’s eyes snapped to mine when tapestries began shaking.

“I want to know what’s going on! You can’t keep me in the dark, I know something is happening, you and Nicholas made that clear yesterday in your office.” I snapped and tried to stop my hands from shaking in anger.
Cross leaned his head back, looking at the ceiling. “She has a point,” he commented, but paused when River’s eyes flashed red. He raised his hands and glared at the wall again, dropping the subject.
“So you’re not going to tell me, and you’re not going to listen to me?!” I asked, biting my tongue until I tasted blood.
“Stop that!” Dune told me sharply, smelling the sudden fresh blood. I ignored him and focussed on River, who looked me, thinking hard.
“No, I’m not,” River said finally, and I nearly exploded with rage.
“Ugh, fuck you!” I yelled and turned, storming up the stairs, kidnappers could kiss my motherfucking ass for all I cared. I stormed into my room and slammed the door so hard, the plaster above my door cracked.
I was so angry, I didn’t even know what to do with myself. It has to have something to do with Kayla, she wanted this stupid party, and stairs! I rubbed my face and grit my teeth.
My back went stiff as the door opened, and I spun around, Kayla tentatively walking in and closing the door behind her.
“Get out,” I told her sharply, noticing her eyes glow slightly, telling me she was using magic.
“Relax,” she raised her hands and gave me a pained smile. “I just made it so no one can listen in on our conversation.”
“Why? So you can threaten me?” I asked and sat on my bed, still pissed beyond words.
