Ten years ago.

The child screams for her mother. Loud wails rang out through the hospital. At least her mother had thought it to be a hospital when she brought her daughter here. Now she wasn't so sure.

Upon entering the building, the pair were a little surprised to discover that they were the only people in the large, white waiting room. There were only a few chairs at the far side of the room. They looked brand new, as if they had never been used. The child immediately wrapped her small arms around her mothers legs, sobbing into them.

"It's alright, honey," the woman picked the child up, and gently carried her across the room, and sat her down on her lap. Smiling at her little girl, the woman tried to cheer her up by pulling amusing faces, and making promises of ice cream and sweets when they left, that was of course if she was a good girl. The thought of sweets perked the young child right up. She started to smile, and wiped the dark curls from her face. Her pink lips then parted and out slipped a sweet giggle. It was an accident, but that didn't matter. The lights flickered before the bulbs smashed sending a sea of broken glass onto their heads.

The woman pulled the girl closer to her chest. She could feel the child shaking.

"Oh, Raven," she sighed. "I know you didn't mean to do that. Why can't you control your emotions?" she whispered softly.

"Mummy, I'm sorry," came a muffled reply.

"It's alright baby, that's why we're here. These people will help you," The woman folded her arms around Raven's tiny head, and kissed it. She loved Raven with all her heart. She hadn't thought that it was possible for her to love anything as much as she did this child. She would have been lying if she said that the nine months that she had carried Raven were hell. And yes there were times that she wished that the child would die. The woman glanced down to her wrists. The scars had long since healed but the memories of her attempted suicide remained. And the awful memories of the beast that raped her. She shut her eyes and pulled Raven closer to her. Her hand tenderly stroking her head. That bastard. He still haunted her dreams…

"Hello there," A man dressed smartly in a white coat and a clipboard in his hand, stood in a doorway, that neither of them had realised was there. Strange, the woman found herself thinking. She shook her head. The sooner they got this over and done with the sooner she and Raven could go home.

"I'm Dr. Collins," the man held out a hand for the woman to shake. It meant letting go of Raven to do so, but the child was clinging so tightly.

"Angela Roth," The woman said, her arms still firmly clasped around the child. "Look Dr. Collins, I'm a little in the dark about what you can do for my child. On the phone you said that you had deal with many other…" she searched for the right words. "…special children like Raven and that you had helped them to lead normal lives. Are you saying that you can cure her?"

The doctor's green eyes shone from behind his glasses. He causally took a seat in front of the woman, then he spoke as if he had know the woman all his life. "Well, you see Miss Roth, I'll put it as bluntly as possible. We here as Sunshine Hospital know only to well of your situation. We know, for instant, that you were tricked into having sex with a demon. And not just any demon, quite possibly the most evil, vile demon of them all, Trigon…"

The name send a chill down Angela's spine. She squeezed Raven hand in her palm.

Dr. Collin's didn't seem to notice the effect that name had on the woman. He continued nevertheless. "For you see, the staff at Sunshine Hospital are completely dedicated to wiping out all demonic influences from the world. We have perfected a way of expelling this darkness from these poor children. If Raven were to go through this process, I can assure you in less then a month, she would be completely human an the end of it," He gave the woman a kind smile, and took her by the shoulder. "Your not the first woman who has had this sort of thing happen to her, and I doubt you'll be the last,"

What could Angela do? She wanted Raven to be normal, but she also didn't like the idea of leaving her alone it this 'hospital'. It gave her the creeps. But eventually the doctor convinced her that she was doing the right thing.

"It'll be over before you know it," he said cheerfully, as he handed over the papers for the woman to sign. She glared at him. How on earth could abandoning her child be for the best? She breathe heavily, then quickly scratched A. Roth upon the forms. She then turned back to her child, who sat merrily playing with her favourite doll in the corner of the room. Raven always played in the corners of room. Angela smiled at herself as she recalled that.

"Come here, baby, come give Mummy a big hug," she whispered.

Sheepishly the girl climbed to her feet, and brushed the back of her dress, although there was nothing there. She leaped into her mother's wide, outstretched arms.

"Are we going home now? Harriet's kinda tired,"

The woman smiled at her. She might have said that her doll was the one that was tired, but Angela suspected otherwise. She bite down hard on her lip forcing back the tears.

"No darling. Your going to start here for a while. It'll just be a short time mind you. Mummy will be back before you know it,"

The thought of being separated from her mother for even a minute was to much for the child to bare. She open her tiny mouth and cried with all her might. The room shook. The chairs rose from the ground, and swung above their heads. Angela did her best to comfort the child, but it got to the point where Dr. Collins suggest that it would be best for her to just leave, and let the staff handle it. Angela gave a nod. Tears fell across her face. "Goodbye Raven, Mummy loves you sweetie," she called out.

Raven was in full tantrum mode. She never heard her mother leave.

Slowly a week seemed to past. Angela awoke in the nights swearing that she could hear her daughters distance screams. She found herself calling Raven's name, and finding it chilling to hear no response. She spend most of her days sat in her daughters room. It was only half way through the second week when the woman had a vivid nightmare of her child crying out in pain, that she decided enough was enough. The woman arrived at the hospital early that morning to re claim her daughter. No amount of persuasion from Dr. Collins could make her change her mind, and in the end they had to release her back to her mother. As Angela saw her daughter once more, she was shocked to discover her pale, and weak from refusing to eat, as well as exhausted from her screaming and continuing use of power. The woman flew at the doctor, vowing that she would never let him and his staff of deranged lunatics near her daughter ever again. As she left the building, she was unaware that she was being watched from above.

Collins lightly knocked on the door. He didn't wait to be asked to enter. By the window stood a man covered in the shadows.

"Sir," Collins said. "She took the child,"

"Let Mrs Roth," the man hissed. "We have the demon's DNA. That was all that was ever really needed…."

Raven awoke with a sudden jerk. She had been dreaming. No. The girl smoothed her short hair back behind her ears. Not dreaming. More of recalling a memory. That place. She couldn't bring herself to say the name. Where her mother had abandoned her. Raven narrowed her eyes. She had never forgiven her for that. She probably never would. Raven was very good at remembering wrong doings.

Lying back down again, Raven shut her eyes and tried to go back to sleep, telling herself that here in her room, in the T tower, surrounded by her friends, she was safe….
