Daughter of Evil
About:
Raven is finding out that she is more than her family has been telling her. She is not just the daughter of Trigon but also the daughter of something more evil than her father. An evil that is older than her father. Would this new threat change Raven's sides to evil and end all ties with the Titians? Could this be the end of a free world?
Chapter One: Visions
Fire
Fire everywhere… Screaming… blood… Lots of blood... who's is it?
The room was consumed by the fire's dance, touching everything that stood in its way. The ceiling was ready to fall down any minute but that wasn't my concern. I had to find the person that was screaming. Sliding through a burning board that fell from the ceiling heated my skin lighting up the darkness from inside my hood. The screaming became louder as I came close to a room.
"Raven hurry the building is going to collapse soon!" Robin's alarmed voice echoed through the ear piece inside my ear. I opened the door but the inside was as bad as the outside maybe worse. "Raven you have to get out of there!" He shouted through the ear piece, tearing off the device from my ear then searched for the girl.
In a small corner there was the little girl crunched into a ball. Her face was covered and her body was still but her screams were a good sign. She was alive. Taking her in my arms was easy but I didn't count on her holding on tightly around me. Too tightly that the air couldn't reach my lungs right and the smoke wasn't helping.
"You're holding too tightly!" I managed to cough out but the little girl didn't loosen her grip. Her dark black wavy hair blocked my vision. "Too… tight…" I gasped again this time trying to pull the little girl off me. I felt her tiny nails digging into my cloak then soon found my flesh.
Finally the little girl locked her eyes with mine. They were pure black almost demonic. A small evil smile crawled on her lips. Unknown fear smacked me hard. This was no ordinary child. She was something evil. She gave a hard cold laugh before I knew it boards began to fall down breaking into pieces. The little girl kept laughing and laughing.
"Oh Raven. If only you knew what is coming for you!" She laughed. "Something worse than your pathetic father!" She laughed again. Her tiny child voice changed when her eyes were locked with mine again. "This time you can't escape from your real destiny."
"What are you?" I held the girl as far as I can but her nails where tightly securing her. "Who are you?"
"Why darling I can't believe you don't know your mother." Confusion hit me. How can she be my mother? This is a dream. This has to be.
"Raven the building is collapsing! Get out of there now!" Robin's voice shook me away from the confusion. I had to get out with this… this… thing… The child tilted her head still having that creepy smile.
I shivered from her awkward look and from what she told me. I shook my head. This isn't the time to be thinking about this Raven! Get your ass out of here! I told myself. With that in mind I held her close to me and ran towards the window. The child's laughter still hanged in the air that was captured by the smoke.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" A dark vine of black magic burst through my hands breaking the window. Focusing on getting out my and the girl's body was engulfed by the energy that took shape of a raven. It flew us out of our soon to be tomb of death. Once it made sure that we were safe it shrunk to nothing leaving the girl and me alone in the center of the street where the others were.
"Raven you are safe!" Star Fire's joyful voice made me sigh. I don't see why she is always happy. Her perfect red hair and the rest of her were covered in muck from the fire. I glanced at the others and they too were covered in soot from the blaze.
"What the hell? Where's the girl?" I said. In my arms where the girl was, was empty. The team had a concern look. "Really I had a girl with me!" I exclaimed staring at my empty hands. "I had… a… girl…" When I glanced back at my members they were gone. The whole city was empty and dark. Ravens were everywhere. More of the type from my home land. The little girl stood there in front of me with a ritual dagger in her hand.
"Time for your true destiny honey." My body froze. Why am I not moving? A dark aura surrounded around her tiny body moved closer with every step my body began to shrink. In a matter of minutes she was close to my face as I was on my knees. "With this mark you will unleash your other half." The cool blade sliced through my flesh. There was no pain, no feeling. I stood there watching her hand curving the blade on my skin. In seconds when the mark was placed I began to feel the pain. A burning pain pinched my chest and then whole body.
"W-who are you?" I choked grasping my hand on the center of my chest. The girl smiled and licked the blade.
"Lilith." After hearing her name my eyes closed. Darkness surrounded my mind and vision.
I woke up breaking in sweat, my body shaking, not realizing that I woke up the person next to me. He groaned sitting up wrapping the cover around him then kissed my naked shoulder. His kiss made me relax my body almost making me forget my dream. Almost.
"Raven what's the matter?" His sweet charming voice was close to my ear and I smiled lightly.
"Nothing X I just had a bad dream that is all. It's not a big deal." I reassured him. Red X or Damien smiled against my skin kissing it again. I know what I was doing is wrong. Sleeping with the enemy was against every rule but how can I not let love, love me? He gave up crime for me but the others don't believe it Once a criminal always a criminal Cyborg said to me.
Sure none of the Titans agree with me seeing him epically Robin. I don't know why it bugs him so much. Damien said it was because of our bond that Robin and I have from way back when we were teens.
Bond or no bond Robin has to get over it and accept that I love X. That wasn't the only thing on my mind. Lilith… Her name silently ran through my tongue as I mouthed her name. I would have to find out who she is but first I would have to visit Azarath or try to communicate with my mother.
"What's on your mind?" X asked his tone reaching the worrying tone.
"It's nothing love." His lips tasted like sweet chocolate from last night's surprise dinner. Still I will figure out who she is even if it means to go to the worse place of my mind where he still is.
That concludes my first chapter! Tell me what do you think!
