All Chapters of Raven Steel: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"I invoke my privilege against self incrimination. I refuse to speak till I get an attorney!"  It was a small, soundproofed room with a desk and three chairs. Two for the detectives and one for Raven. There was nothing on the walls, which created a sense of exposure, unfamiliarity and isolation. It heightened the ' get me out of this place' feeling throughout the interrogation. 

The sun streaming through her window awakened her. She sat up straight, her heart thudding in her chest. Fresh air filled her lungs and she felt refreshed and exhilarated. The breath-taking scenery captivated her—it was going to be a good day.It was morning. And not the brutal, still-dark-but-technically-morning hours. Few minutes past eight, as a matter of fact. With trembling hands, she shoved back the covers and slid out of bed. And then she remembered Eleano

PRESENT   She hardly received visitors. Merely after spotting the detective, she g

The wet, desolate streets of the city rested in silence as the starry black sky wept over it. The water in the portholes shimmered by the glow of the bright, yellow street lamps. The small, green trees on the roadside swayed as the strong breeze hit them.

There was a number eleven inscribed on her palm, it wasn’t an obvious place—only an observant person would notice. The number changed daily, reminding Raven of the limited time she had. 

“If my sisters ever ask. We accidentally ran into Roberto Sánchez in college, and he flirted with me. Eleanor raised her eyebrows, “why the big lie?” She chuckled. “It’s not exactly a lie, I did meet him. Just without you there.” 

PRESENT  The cop kept his gaze fixed on them. Eavesdropping on the conversation between his colleague and the woman in front of him, he was a few steps away from them. The woman hadn’t stopped crying ever since she got to the station.  

Fame was a double edged sword, it opened a lot of doors for Raven.  It all felt like a movie—unreal. She remained on the same spot, right with her whirling mind. Unable to move. “Are you okay?” Words making her shiver in an instant, her gaze met with its h
