A short little chapter just to get things started. This is the sequal to Blood Red. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do. It's pretty good, or so I am told. I'm late for practice so I must run and make this intro quick. Sorry...
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Not even the clothes I'm wearing. Should I take them off? -

Raven opened her blood shot eyes and sat up, shivering in the intense cold of her unfamiliar surroundings. Her head swam and she couldn't focus on The bleak white wilderness around her.
Am I dead?
"I should hope so."
An all to familiar voice echoed around her.
A dark red blur came towards her slowely from out of the snowy white blurs around her, a red blur she had seen once before in a nightmare. It was herself dressed in a gaudy velvet cloak of a deep, dark red. In her feverish nightmare that horrible night, after she'd been violated by one of her dearest friends, The hood had been pulled over the distant figure's head. Now it was pulled back, revealing blood red hair, twisted black horns, and a peculiar tattoo of a tear drop under each eye. As everything swam into focus Raven stared into the luminescent red eyes of her mirror image. She fought back the fear and anger she felt in her heart that would make her lose herself in her powers.
"What have you done to us now? Who else have I killed"
"Who else have you killed?"
The Blood Raven laughed, and it echoed around the icey landscape, hollow and chilling.
"Don't you remember, love?"
Her eyes blazed with a sudden terrifying fire that sent Raven retreating back a few steps.
"YOU KILLED US, YOU BLOODY BITCH! You commited suicide and sent us down here! Where I can do nothing but watch and wait"
"I'm... dead"
"It's what you expected isn't it? When you woke up... didn't you say 'Am I dead'? No need to answer that, darling. I can hear and feel every bit of what goes on in your head. That damned Judas Broach bound us together"
"What are you talking about? The pin Beast Boy gave me... The Judas Broach... It bound us together? But, I thought you were part of me. You said you were all my inner passions and desires"
"Hun... I'm sin. I'm everyone's passion and desire"
"Who are you? Were are we"
"Oh yes... Welcome to Cocytus, my home, and the deepest level of Hell"
"No. You're lying filth. I'm dreaming or... or in a comma from losing all that blood when I stabbed myself. I'll wake up any minute in a hospital bed, surrounded by my friends"
"Your friends are here too. You killed them all... where else would they be"
"They're here"
"They're dispersed through out the levels of Hell... The ones who remember you though, won't want to see you"
"I have to find them. I need to see them."
She took off running into the deep black shadows around her away from The Blood Raven.She wandered in the inky black hearing the cries of the damned all around her. She covered her ears as the din of the suffering beat at her ear drums and retched as the smell of rot and vomit reached her nose. She emerged from the inky black haze in a horrofying place. Burning tombs littered the ground as far as the eye could see. Three terrifying creature sulked between the damned in they're burning coffins. Their naked blood stained body human and their hair serpents that writhed and hissed incessantly. They looked at her with blank pure white eyes and let out an inhuman screech.
"I would cover your eyes, my dear. They're are the blinded Furies and they call to them their sister, Madusa, who will turn you to stone in a moment."
The figure Raven had fled so quickly from said as she emerged from the darkness.
"You've got to be kidding me"
Raven floated quickly threw the maze of graves, looking through the bright flames at the names carved into the stone.
"Is this everyone? How many of these coffins are there?"
Raven shouted to her hidden mirror image.
"Hell's a big, big place. This is only one of it's many levels. What makes you think they're here at all"
"Where are they"
"Ask me nicely"
"Where the Hell are they"
"You mean where in Hell are they"
She grumbled at the lame joke and sprinted on through the graves.
"Ask me nicely"
Raven ran a hand through her hair, prefering to search forever then to be polite to the monstrosity floating in the shadows some where nearby. Unfortunately, with four monsters tailing her, she doubted she had that kind of time.
"Please... Where are my friends"
"Well... If you take a right after the burning tomb of Jessica Yasko, you'll find Cyborg three graves over. Starfire is here some where as well... not close enough for me to easily sense. Now be a good girl and say thank you, or I may not feel inclined to tell you were your other friends' dead bodies are being held"
Raven closed her eyes and grimaced as she thanked the beast in no more then a whisper. She searched the stone coffins 'til she came upon the one Blood Raven had spoken of.
"Jessica Yasko... Take a right"
She swung to the right and sped quickly three graves down. Inside the coffin she could hear his tortured screams.
"Cyborg"
She tried to block out the images of him raping her, what seemed like only moments ago.
"You could leave him you know. He deserves to burn for eternity. What would you do if you freed him"
"I'm going to get them out of here." She used her power to throw the lid of the coffin far from the tomb.
Cyborg shot out of the coffin, screaming and weeping. He embraced Raven as he sobbed freely into her hair. She shivered in disgust, but did nothing to push him away. "Cyborg... Enough. We have to rescue everyone else. Starfire is burning as we speak." She gently pushed him away from her.
"Where are we? How do we find Star"
"We're in Hell, and we have ourselves a soul blood hound. Isn't that right"
"Ask me nicely." A voice sang outeerily from, apparently no where.
"That sounded like you." Cyborg said confusedly.
"It sort of... is me. Please... Lead us to star"
"It won't do you any good, my love. No one escapes... No one ever escapes from Hell."

There you go. I'll update by the end of next week. I promise.
