Primal Instincts
Chapter 1: The Hunter
"Hey Raven!" A certain green teen hovered in front of me, completely unaware that I was in an extremely bad mood. Why? He hasn't stopped talking for ten minutes.
I remember a quote someone once told me, if you ignore someone long enough they'll stop bothering you.
Well that person hasn't met Beastboy.
I closed my eyes to try and drown out the infernal sound of Beastboy trying to get my attention. If I had any sanity left I would just get up and walk away. But being in my position, the only way to shut him up is to find out what the crap he wants.
"What IS it Beastboy?" I growled, shaking from uncontrollable rage. He looked at me, ears flat against his head.
"Umm, I forgot, hehe." He rubbed the back of his head nervously. Growling, I tried to calm down. I closed my eyes and tried focusing on the book. A couple minutes passed and I opened my eyes. He was nowhere in sight. Sighing I continued my book.
It seemed like that no matter were I went in the tower, I always got interrupted somehow. Like this tower wasn't big enough that my teammates could actually find something to do. No matter what I would always be asked to do the same stuff, every single day of my life.
"Hey wanna go train today?"
"Friend Raven do you want to go to the "mall of shopping" with me?"
"Hey lets go and fix up the T-car!"
"You know you wanna beat Cyborg's butt in Gamestation."
If they would just learn to shut up and do their own thing. It's like they couldn't do anything without me. And to think they'd learn. Sighing, I finished up the chapter I was on and put the book down. Only to hear a small whining sound from behind me. I turned slowly to find Beastboy looking over my shoulder.
"C'mon Rae, I hate cliffhangers. Why did you stop?"
"Because a certain SOMEBODY was breathing on my neck." I growled back. But suddenly I realized that Beastboy was reading.
"Do you even know HOW to read?" I asked. He smiled a bit.
"Of coarse Rae. How do you think I read all my fan mail?" I rolled my eyes. Nothing in this tower could actually be taken seriously. Thankfully, a familiar red flashing light appeared, aided by a loud alarm. I quickly got up and walked over to the giant TV in the common room. Robin ran up next to me and typed into the main computer quickly.
"Who is it this time?" I asked. By this time the rest of the team stood around, waiting to hear who we were up against.
"Seems like a new villain, called," He strained his eyes, "The Hunter."
I rolled my eyes. Another mediocre villain just begging to get arrested. But not everybody shared my view of the situation. Beastboy looked worried.
"Dude! This guy might hunt me down like a poor deer! SAVE THE DEER!" He quickly turned into a deer and hid behind Cyborg. I shook my head.
"He's in the Jump City Zoo." Robin turned. "Titans, Go!"
The ride to the Jumpy City Zoo wasn't a pleasant one. Because Robin's R-cycle had been totaled in our last fight, Cyborg decided that we all take the T-Car. With everyone talking about the new villain, it was torture. The only thing I could do was pray that we could get their soon. Finally, we arrived and ran into the Zoo. I couldn't believe what I saw.
All the zoo animals were out of their exhibits and chained against their will. Many were bleeding heavily, and were being attacked by four exceedingly large carnivorous animals. I looked at each one; Gray wolf, Lion, Golden Eagle, and Salt Water Crocodile. From what I remember from Beastboy's lecturing, these were some of the most effective hunters in the animal kingdom. But what worried me most was their master.
The Hunter was about six feet tall and resembled something you'd normally see in a horror movie. He looked like an animal, in a sense. His blonde hair resembled a Lion's mane and fingers resembled a Hawk's claws. Reptilian like fangs sprouted from his upturned mouth as he spotted us and tipped his Australian brimmed hat to us. He was leaning on his musket, fully loaded. His yellow cat like eyes scanned my body, making me even more angry than normal. I looked at his outfit. Black slicker boots were fit roughly over his army pants. A cheetah pelt was covering his white shirt, splotches of red on it from his encounter with the zoo animals. I looked at Beastboy. He looked at The Hunter with pure hate in his eyes. The villain smiled, more gruesome fangs stuck out of his mouth at an impossible angle.
"Well, well if it isn't the Titans!" He laughed with his Australian accent.
"What do you want with these animals Hunter?" Robin asked in his usual if-you-don't-surrender-I'll-kill-you tone.
"Well, to hunt! These poor things don't have any future. Might as well get rid of them now."
Now I can tell that Beastboy was extremely angry. In a flash, he turned into a T Rex and growled into The Hunter's face, blowing his hat off. The Hunter laughed as his wolf like ears stood upright.
"Seems like you've got an animal friend too mate!" He turned to Robin. The four animals came and sat by his side. He pointed to each of them.
"Meet Fang, Simba, Raptor, and Scales." The animals snarled at Beastboy, but not leaving their place next to their master. On cue our own team had our powers to our disposal.
"Oh so were battling eh? Attack my pets!" With a roar, each animal ran towards a different titan. I was quickly tackled by his pet Gray Wolf, Fang. Before she got up, I quickly chanted my mantra and the wolf was face to face with black energy. With a yelp, she was tossed into a nearby fence. Snarling she ran towards me. With a leap, she snarled at me, ready to bite off my head. I quickly created a black sphere over my head and threw her off. She expertly jumped off the side of the wall I threw her into and ran towards me again. With expert aim, I threw a nearby bench towards her, getting her caught underneath it. I quickly looked up to see what else was happening. Beastboy was attacking Scales with all he got, but the slippery croc refused to stay still. Turning to Cyborg, he had Simba pinned to the ground, but was quickly overturned by the angry lion. I looked up to see Starfire flying in front of the quick Raptor. She threw star bolt after star bolt at the Hawk, but her slender bird body let her evade attacks at ease. I was tackled to the ground. Fang managed to crawl out of the bench and rammed her head at me full speed. I lay on back holding her jaws as she tried to bite my throat. Leaning back a bit, I managed to jump up, kicking her right in the stomach. I saw Robin battling it out with The Hunter. It looked like Robin wasn't the only one with excusive kung fu tactics. In a flash, Robin kicked him in the head and grabbed his discarded gun. Robin's eyes widened as The Hunter ran towards him, trying to grab the gun.
"Raven!" He shouted to me, "Throw it!" Nodding my head, I took the gun with my powers and threw it across the zoo into a polar bear exhibit. The Hunter looked surprised for a moment before turning to the fight between the two green animals.
"Scales!" He yelled to his croc, "Get my gun!" Scales looked sort of frightened but obeyed as he quickly crawled over to the exhibit. Sliding in between the broken iron poles and diving into the water; I saw Fang from the corner of my eye trying to sneak up on me. I grabbed hold of her with my powers and had her suspended five feet off the ground. Scales emerged from the water, gun in mouth. He quickly scuttled over to his master handing the gun to him with fear in his eyes. The Hunter loaded his rifle and held it in front of him.
"Don't' make me use this!" he yelled. I completely forgot about the angry wolf until she escaped my hold on her and jumped on my back. I turned around to see her snarling madly.
"Let's finish this." I slammed Fang into a wall and held her up against it. I picked her up and threw her across the battlefield and watch her land on the pavement with a sickening thud. Sighing, I leaned against the brick wall to try and catch my breath. I knew that I had won and didn't have to worry about the wolf anymore. But I was wrong. The last thing I saw was a red gray wolf flying towards me. She slammed me into the wall, knocking the breath out of me. I saw her eyes. They were full of hate as she jumped off my chest and let me fall to the ground. Before I could move, she turned me onto my back and ran to my right. Suddenly, she set her jaws down and bit into my throat. I screamed, pain flooding my senses. I felt her fangs close in on my throat, making breathing almost impossible. I struggled for breath. I knew that I was going to die, she was pretty close to my jugular vein and once she hit that I would die in an instant. Suddenly, I saw a blur of green fly over me, knocking the wolf off my body. I felt her jaws leave my flesh as I felt blood pour from the wounds. A certain green teen sat over me, picking up me head as he watched in horror.
"Don't worry Rae, you're gonna be okay." I faintly hear him say. His eyes were full of tears. Was he hurt? As I felt the pain dull a bit, I closed my eyes. Suddenly, a flash of pain overtook my whole body. I screamed loudly as I felt like I was being crushed alive. Once that pain dulled, I blacked out. The last thing I remembered was Beastboy holding me close.
