To understand a fair amount of this story, you'll have to read my story Raven Dolls on deviantart.


Ben was on the computer to his in his bedroom and was talking to his cousin on his cell phone. He was getting directions to where their next mission would be at.

"Are you positive that these coordinates are correct?" Ben asked his cousin over the phone.

"Positive, they're the same coordinates that we got from the Forever Knights manor." Gwen told him.

"Okay, okay. I was just making sure." Ben said in defense, "So, when—"

He then felt a sudden presence in his room. And that was confirmed with a sudden gust of wind going through his hair. Ben turned around to see nothing, except for an odd looking suitcase in the center of his room. He stared at it in confusion.

"Ben? Are you still there?" Gwen said snapping Ben out of whatever trance he was in.

"Um, I'm gonna have to call you back." He said hanging up the phone.

Ben got up out of his seat, walked up to the box, and sat down in front of it. As he studied the box, the weirder it was. There was a design of a rose on it with thorn vines looking like it was wrapping around the thing and there was also a lock on the front of it, making him think that opening it would be a very difficult task. Out of sheer curiosity, he reached out to touch the lock. The moment the tips of his fingers were a few inches from touching the lock, the lock made a small clickindicating that it was unlocked.

Okay that wasn't creepy at all. Ben thought sarcastically.

Going against his gut, which was telling him not to open the thing; he lifted up the top of the case and was in shock at what he saw. It was a doll that looked exactly like him, well him when he was ten years old. The outfit the doll was wearing was quite abit different then the outfit he wore as a kid, the shirt was like what he had worn only the sleeves were longer. And the shorts, same with the boots, were like the shirt only the shorts only had black rims on the hems of the shorts. It also had black skin-tight leggings.

"Okay, this is getting weird." Ben said as he lifted up the doll, studying it abit more.

He then looked back into the box and saw a wind-up key. Ben grabbed it and turned the doll and saw the hole the key would go into on the dolls neck. He then looked at the hole then back at the key.

"What have I got to lose?" Ben said as placed the key in and began to wind the doll up.

As he turned the key, he felt his body sorta tensed up. He didn't know what would happen. He let out a little chuckled that the thought of the thing just letting out some weird automatic saying. Then his heart began to bund in his chest as he began to wonder if the doll was some sort of weapon. Before he could think about stopping, there was a light click came from it. Ben took out the key out and placed it in a sitting position in front of him. Nothing was happening. He was somewhat relieved, yet also abit disappointed.

"Well, that was a waste of time." Ben said as he was about to get up.

Then, the doll started to move. Frozen in fear as the doll started to get up, Ben didn't even attempt to move. Little creek sounds were heard as the doll started to move its joints. Then, its eyes shot open, gentle green orbs stare into Bens wide jade ones. The doll then tilted its head as it continued to stare at Ben.

"What's up with you?" it said in an innocent child-like tone.

"W-What the—" Ben stuttered, "You talk?"

"Yep, I do. My name's Benvolio." It said.
