Demon or Ghost, a Raven Oneshot

My name...is Rachel Roth (also called "Raven")
and, I am a..."complicated" person.

my mother was a Human from Earth named Angela ("Arella" for short)
but, my father was a Demon Warlord from a Hellish Dimension.

Scath was his name (though, he also called himself "Trigon")
I was born to be his Portal into the Mortal World, to help him conquer humanity.

and, on my Sixteenth Birthday...he DID invade earth.
but, I managed to defeat him with the help of my friends: the Teen Titans.

though, the hold my father had on me has been lifted...his Curse WASN'T.
because of being Half Demon, my powers were "unpredictable"

triggered my my emotions, I caused things to explode for being Too Happy...or, Enraged.
i once turned the tower I lived in into a "Haunted House" for being scared.

my powers were "difficult" to control...I was even afraid to love.

then...HE changed everything: Garfield Logan (also called "Beast Boy")
he actually loved me, despite what I was...and, he Wanted to be with me.

I still can't believe what he did...what he did for ME.
was he blinded by his love for me?, or was he just really that stupid.

I may never know what was going on in his head...when he made that deal.

my father returned to Jump City one day (how he survived our last encounter, I may NEVER know.)
but, he appeared to us not as an Enemy wishing to destroy us...but, as a "friend" wishing to help.

he proposed "fixing" me...by removing my demon half.
but, he'd only do it if Beast Boy gave Trigon his soul.

I BEGGED and PLEADED him not to...but, Beast Boy made up his mind.
i watched as the boy that I now find that I love signed his name in on that Unholy Contract,

signed with Blood...HIS Blood.

before I knew what was happening, my Father grabbed me.
he then jammed his fist into my chest, mystically phasing his arm into my body.

I felt like I was being TORN APART!

he then pulled something out and dropped me.
I looked up...and, saw him holding MYSELF!

but, it wasn't really "me"
the red Skin, white hair, four yellow eyes and horns on the head was all I needed to see that it was my demon half, the part of me that I Hated and Feared.

I immediatly felt that my powers were GONE.
and, my skin...once Grey, was now a normal Cacausian color.

I had became...HUMAN.
One-Hundred Percent, Pure, Full Blooded Human.

then, my former father did something horrible.
something that shall burn FOREVER in my mind.

he grabbed Beast Boy...and, fused my Demon Half into him.
MY Demonic Half, MY EVIL!...was now merged with him, corrupting his Soul.

I watched as Beast Boy screamed out in pain as he "changed" right before my eyes.

his green skin took on a darker shade his spikey hair errupted into unnatural flames his teeth became sharper, his pointed ears LONGER...almost like horns.

and, an extra pair of eyes formed on his head.
all four of his eyes...now blood red, and cold as ice.

and, then that laugh...that horrible, Horrible Laugh.
Beast Boy laughed with such Evil and Malice...it scared me to death.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" I finally screamed

Trigon mearly laughed cruely, explaining his True Intentions..

he wanted an Apprentice, a Demonic Heir to his Hellish Legacy.
and, since I rejected him as my father...he seeked out a New Heir.

he chose Beast Boy, used his feelings for me manipulated him...and, took away my powers so I couldn't fight back.

the next several weeks was true HELL.

because I had no more powers, I wa sno longer a Teen Titan (though, I still lived in the Tower)
i watched as my friends tried in vain to Stop the now Demonic Beast Boy.

and, cringed at seeing and hearing of the things he had been doing...
the cities he demolished, the people he killed, all the Chaos he created.

but, I never blamed him...i blamed Trigon.
he corrupted the man I loved, turned him into a monster.

I had to save him...
he did all this for ME, I had to do SOMETHING!

and, "something" is exactly what i did.

when I learned of an Experimental Dimensional Gateway Device at S.T.A.R. Labs I broke in (Robin had a Hissy Fit at that) and decided to do something Crazy and Stupid.

I decided to forsake my chance at a Normal, Human Life...and, become a Half Blood again.

I programed the gateway to open up a portal to a "Ghost Dimension" that I sensed once.
by that time, Robin and the others discovered what I was doing...so, I locked them out.

I heard their cries and protests, but I ignored it.
this was something I HAD to do...I had no choice.

with Beast Boy fresh in my mind, I activate dthe portal...while I was still inside it.

I screamed in agony as my frail, human body was bombarded by Unnatural energy.

I could feel the Dimension's Energy SURGE through my body, pulsing the ECtoplasm...the "Ghost Blood", fusing itself with my Human DNA.

finally, I couldn't take it anymore...I collasped and passed out.
by then, I suppose my friend broke in and dragged me out of the portal.

when I awoke...I saw the stunned and shocked looks on their faces.

"what?" I asked

then, I gasped in shock: my voice has an "Echo" to it.
I quickly got up and looked at a nearby mirror.

I was stunned to see that I was wearing my old Leotard and Hooded Cape, again.

but, I was "different" now...
though my leotard was still Black, my cloak was White.

even MORE shocking...my skin has turned Blue my hair was Snow White and my eyes green (which flashed a glow for a moment)

I was also floating, and my body had a faint aura to it.
Starfire tried to grab my arm...but, my arm phased right thru her!

then, all of a sudden...a hoola Hoop ring of light appeared at my waist.
they split into two rings that traveled up and down my body...then, disappeared.

and, looked at the mirror, and saw that I was Human Again.

"what have you done?" said Robin

I knew EXACTLY what I did: I made myself HALF GHOST.

I knew that only a Ghost could fight a Demon.
these new powers were similair to my old ones...but, EASIER to control.

I had to fight Trigon, free Beast Boy of my old curse (maybe Detsroy my old Demon Half, too)
then, I would tell him that I love him...and, live the rest of my life with him.

but, first and for most: my "Father"...would PAY.

Author Note: I was inspired by DeviantArt(ist) "707Cloud" to make a story where Beast Boy makes a deal with Trigon
to remove Raven's powers so she could be free to have feelings without her powers getting out-of-control.

although, in MY VERSION...Trigon double-crossed Beast Boy by turning him Evil (like Dark Danny from "The Ultimate Enemy"),
forcing Raven to become a Half Ghost, instead of a Half Demon to save Beast Boy.

this POV Oneshot is meant to be a preview of said proposed Fanfiction (which I shall simply entitle "Raven Phantom")

love it or hate it, it's a good idea.
and, I think Raven DESERVES a Paranormal Half in her DNA that isn't so "unpredictable"
