Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans but I do own Reaper/Azreal and this is my own story idea because I have not been on fanfic for a long time say like months.
Flamers: I have many things to say about your kind. First why bother trying to put others down…wait is it because your own stories suck and that your mothers hated you or do you think your so great that you have to try to make others hate themselves. Well one more thing stop while you're a head no I really mean it if you flamer my stories you'll get a taste of my alternate personality.
Reaper's Bane
Chapter1-A Cursed
Valentine's Day
Valentine's day the only event in February that Raven hates because everyone asks her if she once had a boyfriend. Raven would always say no but she no that was a lie. She knew the truth when the others did not she knew that she once was in love with a guy who understood her better then her own friends do.
But that was a long time a ago almost a year ago when she had first came to Earth. Back then she found herself alone and unsure of the people but in the end she found herself traveling with a guy who called himself Reaper.
Of course Reaper's real name was Azreal which Raven later found out was a Hebrew name that meant angel of death. This confused Raven because he did not look like a Hebrew he was pale and had long black hair. Azreal told her that he got his came from a Hebrew family who had token him in when she real mother and father had died.
He always wore a long black cloak with a deep hood that concealed his face so only his pale blue eyes showed his cloak was fell around his body making it look like he was gliding on air.
He wore all black under the cloak from his shirt to his pants even his steel-toed boots.
The odd thing about him is his chose of weapon a reaper's scythe.
She remembered it the most because of it's fine black steel handle and the scythe blade that glimmered in the pale light of the moon which Reaper would always travel by.
Other then that she liked him until he told her the truth, which broke them apart; it was at the entrance to Gothem City. That he told her the truth and it was then and there when she just left him standing in the cold rain as she went into the city to start a new live.
After that she lost touch with him and never again heard of anyone mentioning his name like he just vanished from the planet which scared Raven because she remembered him just standing there watching her walk away from him.
And to make it worst she had left him on valentine's day and now it's valentine's day again and the fear that Reaper will came back lurks inside her because when no one heard from him again everyone thought he had died. And now Raven fears he will come back for her only this time he will be a true reaper a undead minion of DEATH.
So while the other had fun and laughed about old times and old friends and dates that they had long ago Raven sat near the window an watched the darkness like she expected Reaper to be there just like she thought he would be there last Valentine's day.
But like every other Valentine's day he was not outside the window looking in on her but then she closed her eyes and sighed in relief she got a shook when she opened her eyes to see something gleaming against the darkness.
She fell off backwards when something moved away from the window something that was wearing a long flowing black cloak with a hood pulled up over it's head.
Raven took a deep breath and stood back up and thought about what she saw and that it might not be Reaper.
She left the room without the others noticing her leaving; Raven made it to her room and took one last look over her shoulder.
When she was sure no one was behind her she entered her room and closed the door behind her. She approached her desk and mirror; she looked down at her desk for the spell the would free a imprisoned spirit from torment.
If Reaper would not forgive her then the lest she could do for him was send him free from Death's control. But when she looked up into the mirror fear struck her dead there standing behind her reflection was Reaper a tall young man wearing a long flowing black cloak not like the Grim Reaper's all torn and old but untouched like it was new.
His cloak fell over his whole body as his hood hide his while face so Raven could only see his eyes, which did not look angry or dead because they looked weak and injured.
He had his scythe with him, he held with his left hand but also had she right hand on it like he was going to attack when really he was leaning it using his weapon to hold himself up.
Raven spun around to face him but he was not there, fear made her call up to him "Reaper? She called to him in a whisper.
Raven sighed maybe she was just seeing things she told herself when she turned around to meet Reaper face to face.
She would have screamed but there was nothing to be afraid of he was the same Reaper she had left standing outside of Gothem City only now he looked tired and weak.
She reached out to touch him but he recoiled backwards like her touch would burn him; she thought he might do that but then she noticed that he was holding his left arm now like he had somehow just hurt himself.
She reached out to touch his arm but he pulled away from her and hissed a behavior she had not see in him before. He was about to reach out and try and touch him again when she noticed a cross around his neck which seemed more odd them him hissing at her.
Reaper never would wear a cross about his neck because he had once told her why wear one when it can't bring you any holy power why belife in god's makings when there is no such power as good so why was he wearing one now.
Then it hit her that someone much have put it around his neck thinking they could control his dark unholy powers by a cross could not do that. Reaper was not a real Death's minion he had gained his powers from killing a reaper with it's own scythe therefor taking the reaper's powers for himself.
Raven looked at the cross around his neck it was glowing a bright golden color, which meant it, was no normal store cross with out magical use.
Someone had made his cross and filled it with every strong holy magic meant to control a reaper but who every had created it made a mistake putting it around Reaper's neck.
Raven made a move for the cross and grabbed it before Reaper could recoil backwards again, she held on to the cross with a strong grip and with a quick pull she heard the leather string snap under presser.
She held the cross her in hand it was a strange cross made not of gold or silver but of both with a round rube in the center of it. She took it but the leather sting and held it in front of her before she heard Reaper lift his scythe of the floor of her room.
The sound of the scythe's steel blade echoed through her room as Reaper slid the scythe over the floor and up over his shoulder. She looked up into his eyes, which were filled with hate and anger.
His eyes were narrow and his glaze fixed upon the medium sized cross in her right hand.
She knew what he wanted Reaper wanted to destroy the cross she held in her hand and she could no agree more.
Raven took a leather string in each hand and held it out far enough in front of her before she pulled the strings tight so that he would have a clear hit that the cross. She did not stop to ask him to forgive her because before she even thought of it she felt that air around her part as his scythe sliced through the air.
Raven looked down to see the scythe connect with the cross and at first she did not think Reaper's arcane scythe would be able to cut through the strong gold and silver of the cross let alone the rube.
Reaper cured as he withdraw his scythe for a few seconds only to bring it down with more hate and anger; this time when the scythe's blade connected with the cross spark flow up as the cross glowed bright then before.
The cross's bright golden color reflected of the pale steel of the scythe's blade; Raven looked up at Reaper to see sweat glassine on his face with was hidden in his hood.
Reaper recoiled his scythe again and this time held it above his head and chanted some arcane spell, which made the blade of the scythe, glowed dark purplish black.
Reaper cursed something under his breath before he brought the scythe back down upon the cross; this time the outcome was almost deadly because when arcane and holy connect the outcome is painful.
A flash of golden and purple light erupted through out the room as a loud sound that sounded like thunder came from the cross.
Raven was shot backwards against the wall while Reaper was sent hurdling into Raven bed; Raven groaned and painfully opened her eyes to see the cross in her hand was now split into two.
The two pieces of the cross were still glowing but not like before because now the glow was a faint pulsing like a dying hearts last and final beating.
When the two pieces of the cross stopped glowing Raven looked up to see Reaper laying on the floor, she dropped the divided cross and painfully made her way across the floor to his side.
"Reaper" she spoke to him but he did not reply "Reaper please speak to me" still nothing "Azreal!" she whispered in his ear.
At hearing his real name he groaned and opened his eyes to meet her purple worried ones "damned thing never thought it would have that much power in it" he replied.
Raven sighed at lest he was alive "we have to melt the pieces of the cross or…"
"Azreal I know that we have to do that so that the cross can't be mended but not tonight we are both beyond the point of doing anything in this state" Raven told him.
"fine tomorrow then" he replied
"tomorrow" Raven answered.
Raven helped Reaper to stand she helped him to her bed; Reaper sat down on the bed and did not look up at her before he laid down on the bed and painfully rolled over to make room for Raven.
"this brings back memories" Reaper said; Raven did not reply as she lay down on the bed "nice room must be nice living in luxury"
"just go to sleep" Raven groaned.
Reaper sighed as he closed his eyes; Raven groaned as she did the same a hour letter Raven felt something touch her shoulder and when she looked to see what it was she saw Reaper's head laying on her shoulder.
"No matter what move you make we will never get back together" Raven said when she noticed that he was a sleep because he was breathing every lightly. Raven groaned rolled over and closed her eyes again this time really falling asleep.
