Raven: Cat of the Night

Written By Reeza

Young Macababy:
Solid black with a frame of steel
Weak and trembling before him I kneel
Why are his eyes so merciless and cold?
He is to be my mate, I am told.
I secretly love another out of my stride
If I tell my brother I will die
Why is Raven advancing toward me?
His eyes, his evil hatred I see
His intentions are in his eyes
No time to run, no time to hide
"Let me go! Let me be..."
"You worthless bitch," says he
Now I see there is nothing I can do
But I wanted to lose my innocence to someone true...
He wont let me go, he holds me tight,
Embraced by Raven: Cat of the night

Mungojerrie:
I am gonna kill 'im fer wha' 'e did
'urting 'er, a poor innocent kid
'er innocent nature, like a dove
Ya don't go 'urtin' th' one
I luv

Macababy (After Raven killed her kittens):
He feels so awful now I see
Jerrie doesn't want to believe me
Raven has changed,
I saw on his face
I must love him, give him grace
I still hurt for what he has done
Yet the war is over, I have won
I am happier now than I ever could be
Jerrie has given the gift of love to me
We are expecting a kitten on the way
My life has dawned like a beautiful day
Jerrie has gone to the market to eat
I am alone, with my fears to meet
For I hear someone at the door
My fears are returning, worse than before
Who could it be? I am afraid
Take me now, unto my grave
As I open the door, here is what lies
A small cat, that looks like he is about to die
Grayish and helpless, bones sticking out,
He asks for help, yet I am in doubt
Could this be
Raven: The cat of the night?
He caused my pain, and caused my fright.
I will help him anyhow
Forgive, and try to forget all of it now
Erase it from my mind, and drag him upstairs
Get him food, mend his many tears
"I'm not who I was," he slowly speaks
"Maca, I'm different..."
I see the tear streaks
That's when Jerrie storms in,
"Macababy! Why did ya let 'IM in?"
Raven jumps back, his eyes wide with fear
"I beg you, don�t send me away from here.
Just a meal, and I'll be gone.
Let me at least stay till dawn"
I held on to Jerrie with pleading eyes
"Jerrie, if we help him, he will not die."
Jerrie nodded, and I got the food,
I forgave Raven, yet, my thoughts were crude
I didn't forgive myself, for all my fright
Yet, I forgave Raven:
The cat of the night

Callie ( a year later, when she found out what Raven had done):
Raven is different, so I see
A new found friend, he found in me
It doesn�t seem to matter, what he has done
The past is the past, the future will come
He hurt my mother, yet she forgave
The same I must do, our friendship to save
I know that cat is different, not who he was
I know he is sincere,
He cares, he really does
I have to care for him now,
I feel I must I must win his friendship, his trust
So I will not keep out of my sight
That cat called Raven: the cat of the night
