dARK wINGS -- page 41 Raven never wondered how Haun had known the way back to her house. Had she realized the oddity of it, she would have been unsettled, but her mind was far too spacey to notice much at all. She just lay on her bed after going back to her own plain, staring up at the ceiling. Not nearly as much time had gone by as she had thought. It was barely late afternoon. After a long while of staring at the same place, she finally got up and went downstairs. She grabbed a box of Cheezits and an RC Cola and returned to her room.
