The beginning

Chapter 1 The beginning

Raven was on the way home from her piano lesson.
It was already dark. She went over the bridge
which led on the main street towards the city center.
Under the bridge called Power Bridge
ran a long river.
This flowed through half the country and then flowed into the sea.
It led past Raven's house, her flat share.
She stood at the railing of the bridge.
Raven watched the water, it flowed slowly and the moon was reflected in it.
She closed her eyes and tried to ignore the cars that drove past her at breakneck speed.
The river rippled, it was a soothing ripple.
Raven opened her eyes again.
She looked up at the sky, her pupils became small
because it shone brightly, brighter than usual.
She leaned against the railing further than she wanted. There was a scream. Raven winced.
"Help help! My child is falling."
Raven looked over the railing
she saw a small shadow that was getting smaller and smaller.She put down her shoulder bag
sat down on the railing so that her feet were facing the water.
She jumped. She heard someone shout: "What are you doing? You can't just ... NO!"
But it was too late, she had jumped.
She caught up with the child as she fell.
Lots of people saw everything from above, but it was so stupid that you could hardly see anything.
A loud splash was heard.
Oh my God! My child!"
"Mum I'm here!"
The woman turned around, there was her child, it was dry.
"How, what, who ...", she couldn't utter a word, "what happened? Why are you dry? Who is down there and anyway ...!"
"Mum calm down, I'm here."
"Yes, but you just fell and the splash and ..."
"Yes, I fell, but I was caught and dumped on the edge. That was God!"
"Oh child, forget God, how the hell is that possible? No matter you're alive and that's the most important thing!"
They hugged each other.Raven's bag was on the bridge, a young man standing right behind Raven as she jumped.
He took her bag and got into a taxi.

20 minutes later.
The doorbell rang at the girls' flat.
Diamond opened the door.
"Yes? What happened to you?"
Raven stood in front of the door soaked.
"Um yes, long story and with a lot of details. You definitely don't want to hear it."
"Well OK, if you don't want to tell me ... come in."
She held the door open for Raven and closed it when Raven was inside.
Raven went to her room and put on dry clothes.
In the background she took was that
the phone rang but didn't answer.
When she went into the kitchen, Diamond was sitting there.
"Hey what's up, you look so funny
as if something terrible had happened.
Well, a guy just called and said he found your bag.
Is there anything you want to tell me?
Where have you been for so long?Your class has been over for 45 minutes.
Why and where do you hate leaving your bag?
A guy just called here, a total stranger
where did he get our number from? "
"Um, yes, good question, I don't know where and why ... simply because I left it.
And I don't know where he got our number from, highest, but in my pocket,
there was Mrs. Widson's number. "
"Mrs. Widson?"
"Yes, my piano teacher."
"Oh, and you think he called just so he could give you your bag,
with your grades
Say what the hell
did you do this guy today?
Who is this ? your lover? "
"You're crazy! I don't have any lovers, you know that. I have no idea why he does it and why ... maybe he's just a young man like everyone who is nice and gives the bag back to its rightful owner want."
"Ok, sorry that I was weird, but I had a very busy day and you would have been bothered with making food.That was really stupid, I'm completely exhausted, come home full of hunger, nothing to eat! Then you finally come, completely soaked but you don't even want to tell me what happened and then this guy calls you too! "
“I'm sorry.” They hugged.
"Um, when did he want to come over again?"
"Not at all, he gave me a number where you can reach him."
"Please what? I should call him? This is definitely some pervert who poor young women like us restrain our lives because he has or had no great sebler."
"Yes, maybe, but I don't think so, because he didn't sound like that, kind of lustful or something."
"How then?"
"rather young and educated."
"How did you notice that?"
"Raven stop you sound interested!"
"Yes it should too."
Both laughed.
"So how old did it sound like."
"Yes, around 18, 19."
"Awesome, perfect age."
"Oh come on."
"Okay I got it."
The phone rang, but neither answered."Thank you for having you Dieamond, you are my best friend."
"You're my best friend too."
They smiled at each other.
"I'm going to make us some cocoa, sit down in the living room, today this great film is coming."
"Sure, thanks Raven. The others should come soon too."
She went into the living room and switched on the viewer, Raven went into the kitchen to make the cocoa.
Raven saw the answering machine blinking red, which most likely meant someone had left a message on it.
Raven wanted to press the button, which blinked, but her finger stopped shortly before.
'I don't know, should I ... oh what's the worst thing about that, I have such a strange feeling'
Raven went into the kitchen, poured cocoa powder into two cups, and poured cold milk into them.
"How long in the microwave?"
"Oh one and a half are enough."
"OK, I'll be ready soon."
Raven put the two cups in the microwave and set this for the desired time.She looked out the window. It was raining, she watched the drops as they slowly ran down the window ...
* Ping *
"Oh already done."
She took the two cups with one hand and a packet of biscuits with the other.
She put both on the living room table.
"Here, I'll be right back, I'm going ... just wash my hands for a moment."
"Ok hurry up, but I'll see if the movie comes out tonight."
Raven closed the living room door behind him and went to the answering machine, which was still blinking.
This time she pressed the red blinking button.
"Yes hello, it's me again, Raven, I just wanted to tell you that the cell phone number is wrong, instead of the 5 there is an 8," it was a male voice, "I'm really sorry if you've already tried to call me . "
> Wow, he's talking hot ... <Raven grinned.
"I'm saying goodbye, I'm looking forward to your call back, best regards to your friend with whom I spoke on the phone." With that he hung up.
Raven went into the living room."Well, was that your friend?"
“Ha, ha, very funny.” Raven sat down on the sofa and took a sip of cocoa.
The door rang, Raven got up to see who it was.
"Hello is someone there?"
But nobody was there, at the door. She took a few steps forward and looked left and right, but there was no one to be seen.
But there was an envelope, Raven picked it up and went back inside.
"And who was it?"
"Oh just someone who asked for directions."
"I see."
Diamond focused back on the movie that was playing.
"I'm going to my room for a moment."
"OK, do that."
Raven went to her room and opened the envelope with her name on it: Raven McCrow.
