Chapter 4

My mother looked at me expectantly, and I tried to think up a plausible
excuse.  I mean, I can't just waltz in and say 'hi Mom, meet my new
girlfriend, she's from an alternate dimension' very well now can I?

"Mom meet Raven."  Mom smiled at her and said hello.  "She lives near here.
I was taking a walk in the forest last night when I got lost.  Raven found
me and showed me the trails so that I can find my way through the woods more
easily."

Mom smiled.  "Well, why don't you call your folks so they'll know you're
here?  If you'd like you can stay for dinner with us."

"Ms. Silver I live on my own, I don't have any family."  She looked at me
kind of nervously and I jumped in, trying to help.  "Maybe she could stay
with us?  There are a few empty bedrooms."  Raven took my hand in hers and
squeezed it happily.  She liked the idea as well.

"Well, I'll have to discuss it with your Uncle but I don't see why not.
Why don't you two go get cleaned up for supper.  Diane and Jack are in town,
doing some shopping.  They'll be back soon though."

She shooed us out of the kitchen and we went up to the bathroom and we washed
our hands.  She was fascinated by the toilet and shower and I explained their
uses.  She was ecstatic about trying them out, but I left the shower for
later, since she didn't have any extra clothes right now.

We went into my bedroom and talked.

"Raven why don't you stay here in my world.  While your here your curse
doesn't affect you and you can just be yourself.  How does that sound?"

For an answer, Raven leaned forward and kissed me.  She hugged me close
and then leaned back; a hungry look in her eyes.

We heard a door close and I realized Uncle Jack must be back with Diane.
My mother called for us to come eat.  Well, better get this over with.
We went downstairs to the dining room and Mom introduced Raven to the
others.  We sat down and ate supper while Uncle Jack and Mom gave Raven
the twenty question routine.  Diane was silent the whole time, staring
at Raven in a really weird way.  With me to back her up though, Raven
didn't have any problems.

After dinner was over, Mom told Diane to help Raven get something to wear
and had me help her make up the bed in the guest bedroom.  Raven gave me
a worried glance as Diane led her off to her room, and I went with my Mom
to the linen closet.

As we entered the guest bedroom, Mom closed the door behind me and put the
sheets down on the bed.  "Okay young man, spill it.  I know there's more
to this than your telling me.  This whole thing smells fishy Paul.  You
know I can tell when your fibbing, so I want the truth this time, okay?"

I sighed and looked down at my feet.  You wants it, you gots it.  I took a
deep breath and told her everything.  Yeah, everything.  I figured I might
as well.  To prove my story, I showed her the ring that Grevlock gave me,
the ring that could get me back to Raven's world.

Mom took it well, better than I thought she would.  "You mean to tell me
that that girl was married to your other half or whatever?"

"Yeah, apparently.  It sounds like they got married the same day Aunt Sarah
died.  After Silver disappeared, she just wandered around mostly until I
showed up.  I think she's got me confused with him, I mean me, um you know,
my other self."

She nodded her head yes and put her hand on my shoulder.  "You have feelings
for her don't you."  I nodded without looking at her.  "My other half knew
her all his life and the two of them didn't get together until just recently.
But with me, it was love at first sight, I think.  Of course," I grinned at
Mom, "my first sight of her was after she'd kissed me.  You should of seen
her, she was half girl-half tiger.  I think what got me the most was when
she simply laid there in my arms and purred.  She was so happy to see me,
it just melted me, you know?  I mean sure, she thought I was Silver.  But
we are the same person.  And it seems that she's transfered all the love for
him over to me."

I continued.  "But you know what, Mom?  It occurs to me that on this side,
I was only gone for one night, but over there, I was there for almost a week.
I wonder how long it would be, let's say, if I stayed over there for a month
or a year?  Would a few days pass, a week?  Time must pass quicker over here
than it does over there."

We made the bed and as we were changing the pillow cases, Mom kept the
conversation going.  "So, now what?  Is Raven going to stay here with us
permanently?"

"I don't know.  I asked her something similar, and she said that it would be
hard to stay away from her world, away from her friends and stuff.  But I
told her we can go visiting there when ever she wants, now that I know how
to get over there.  I'll bet Diane would get along great with Arianna."

Mom smiled at me.  "What's she like?"

"Well, she's Silver's half-sister.  As far as I can make out, their father
was an elf and their mother (your other self I guess) is human.  But she
doesn't talk about them much.  So, Silver must have been half-elven too.
Anyway, Arianna.  She has blonde hair, and a really high-pitched little girl
type voice.  Oh, and she has your eyes too."

Mom sobbed and sat down on the bed, sad all the sudden about something.
I went around the side of the bed to her.  "Mom whats wrong?  Did I upset
you?"  She looked up at me with tears in her eyes and held her arms out to
me.  I went to her and she hugged me close.

"Paul, I've never told anyone this, I tried to forget it myself, but your
talking about Arianna just brought it all back to the surface.  Before I met
your Dad, I had been engaged to another man.  His name was Harold and we
were going to be married but we got in a car accident and he died.  I was
seven months pregnant at the time a..."  she stopped at this point and cried
in my shoulder as I held her and tried to comfort her.

After a minute or two, she continued.  "When I woke up in the hospital, they
told me the baby had died.  It was a girl, Paul.  They both died that day.
I was in terrible pain for months until I met your father.  Don't you see,
Paul?  Arianna is the daughter I should have had."  She cried for a while
longer but then I had an idea.  "Mom, why don't I get Arianna to come visit
us?  I'm sure she'd be happy to.  She looked up at me and smiled, wiping away
her tears.  "You think she would?"

"Sure, she's very nice.  Lemme try this ring out now."

I looked at the ring and wondered how it was supposed to work.  I mean, magic
wouldn't work on this side, would it?  I read the words inscribed on the ring
and suddenly found myself in Grevlock's library again.  Grevlok looked up
from a large book he was reading and grinned.  "Well hello again, young man.
Back so soon?  Where's Raven?"

I explained to him why I'd come.

"Arianna is in her tower.  Let me fetch her.  He made a few complicated
gestures and mumbled something and a glowing orb appeared before him.
It vanished and after a minute, Arianna walked through the door, looking
like she had been asleep.  She yawned and stretched, only then noticing my
presence.

"Paul, what brings you back here so soon?"  I explained to her about Mom and
she liked the idea.  "Oh course I'll come. Lemme get fixed up though, I can't
go dressed like this."  She looked down at herself and suddenly she was
wearing a pretty green dress.  Her little dragon friend flew through the door
and landed on her shoulder, where it curled its long tail around her upper
arm.  "Sudi you can't come with us this time.  We're going to visit Paul's
world and Dragons aren't allowed there."  Sudi flew off her shoulder and
perched on a bookshelf near Grevlok.

"Okay Grevlok, spell us through."  Arianna took my hand in hers, and we were
back in the guest bedroom again.  Mom had sat up on the bed, and looked a
little more composed.  The moment she saw Arianna, her face lit up like a
christmas tree.  Arianna walked over to her and sat down in her lap, hugged
her and simply said "Mom."  Arianna glanced at me, then the door and I got
her meaning.  I made a hasty exit, so they could be alone together, and I
felt so glad that Arianna could help out Mom like this.

I walked down the hall, and paused at Diane's doorway.  Raven and Diane were
deep in conversation.  When they saw me, Raven got up and walked over to me.
A tear dropped down my face and Raven saw it, concerned.

I told them about what Mom had told me, and how I'd brought Arianna over here
to make Mom feel better.  All three of us were crying by the time I finished
telling them about it, and it took a minute or two for us to regain our
composure.  We bade Diane a good night and went to my room, realizing that
Arianna and my mother might be in there all night.

We went into my room and closed the door behind us, and all pretenses ended
with Raven grabbing me and kissing me passionately.  We tugged our clothes
off as we kissed and soon our two warm bodies were pressing against each
other, our passions rising within us, ready to comsume us at any moment.  I
led Raven to the bed and she lay back on it with me beside her.

Our hands travelled all over each other's bodies, exploring and caressing.
I kissed her lips then travelled across her check and sucked on her ear lobe,
which drove her wild.  I continued down, kissing her neck and then finding
my way to her perfect breasts.  Some instinct bade me suckle on them, which
I did with eagerness.  I caressed them, holding each tender sphere in my
hands as I kissed and nipped at each rosy nipple, gently sucking as she
softly moaned in pleasure.

She placed her hands on the back of my head, obviously enjoying the attention
her bosom was recieving.  When she could stand no more, she shoved gently on
the top of my head and I took the hint, travelling southward, kissing and
licking all the way.  I paused at her belly button and gently stuck my tongue
as far down it as I could, getting a satisfying squeal of delight from my
beautiful lover.

I moved travelled farther southward until I came upon the black tuft of
pubic hair that signalled the entrance of her tunnel of love.  I licked the
hairs and playfully kissed all over the area until continuing my erotic
journey and coming face to face with her wet and inviting vagina.  She opened
her legs wider to give me better access and I looked up at her.  She was
gazing at me through eyes that were ablaze with lust.  She had a permenent
grin etched on her face as she gazed down at me.  I focused my attention
back to the job at hand and looked upon the womanhood before me.  Her outer
lips were soaked in her juices and I licked the whole length of her slit,
gathering the sweet moisture that was uniquely her.

It was sweet and tangy, and as delicious a drink as I had ever tasted.  I
eagerly dove in and began feasting on her sex, like a starving man.  As I
licked and sucked, her clitoris came out of its tiny sheath to greet me and
I gave it a welcoming lick which made Raven arch her back and cry out in
pleasure.

Noticing her reaction, I clamped onto her clit and began sucking on it
like my life depended on it, as she writhed about under me, lost in a sea of
orgasms with no shore in sight.  I climbed up on top of her and my manhood
eagerly took its place inside her loins.  She locked her legs around my back
as I established a slow rythem of pure pleasure that had me drunk with her
love.

I pistoned harder and faster into her as I leaned forward and locked lips
with her, kissing her as we lost ourselves in one another.

Before long, I could feel my climax building within me as I moved within
her faster and faster.  Suddenly I arched my back and plunged my full length
into her as my seed gushed into her womb, filling her belly with my love.

I collapsed beside her and we laid in each other's arms, perfectly content.
I knew then that I was hopelessly  in love with her, and told her so before
falling asleep.

"Raven, I love you with all my heart and soul." I whispered in her ear.

She replied, "I love you." and we fell asleep.
