CHAPTER THREE

"Slade?"

The boy turned his head away from her, not wanting to look at the teen. Not look at her face. Not see what she would think of him.

"Slade, it must be you..." She trailed of whispering to him. Her hand was still resting on his back, not wanting him to fall. A lone tear rolled down his cheek, looking outside where heavy rain poured over the cave entrance. "What happened to you?"

"Why?" Came his whispered voice finally after long minutes of silence. "Why d' ou' eve' care? Why don' ou' leave li' ever'on else?"

Shock hit her hard. Here was a toddler who wants to be left alone? Well not really wanting it, but have been left alone in the past, 'Like everyone else.' Who would leave him? He was just a little boy. Well he was an adult, but not at the moment. She couldn't see past his boyish face. "Why would I leave you? You're a toddler, for Azar's sake! And if it wasn't for me, you would be nude!" She exclaimed, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Ever'on aw'ways leaves me." He whispers, a sob leaving his mouth as more tears run down his face. Painful memories hitting him hard.

Raven watched as Slade tried to hold back his tears, failing miserably. His small hand clenched in tiny fist at his sides. Her cape draped around his waist, showing pale pink skin over his tiny body. A few ribs showed through. In a swift movement, she was holding him close to her chest, trying to calm down the toddler.

"It's ok, I'm here now." She whispered into his dark, messy hair. His fist holding onto his leotards. "I won't leave you." He continued crying, sniffling into her chest.

That Night

Slade was half sleeping on Raven's hip as she looked outside. This was defiantly not Earth. The plants glowed a neon colour, lighting up the ways. The cave, however, was only lit by the fire. The rain had stopped only an half an hour ago, giving off the most beautiful scenery ever! The rain drops sparkled the grass.

Robin still wasn't awake, which worried her. He should have been awake an hour ago at the least. From what she could tell, he only had one broken bone and a few scratches. Slade even said that he didn't go too far when he was hitting him. He needed to be awake soon.

Raven was doing fine... kind of. Besides the fact that the same person that was working for her father was now that toddler that she was carrying around, other than that she was doing pretty good. Another good thing about her demon heritage, she didn't need to eat that often. Slade, on the other hand, she didn't know. He was already fast asleep when the topic hit her.

It was getting to the point where she needed to lie down, to sleep. She refused to sleep. But she had to. She was the only one who can go out and get food. Well, Slade could, but as a toddler, she would put her foot down. So giving in to her body's demands, she walked over the east side of the cave and laid down. The toddler in her arms snuggled into her side for warmth. Raven got comfortable the best she could and closed her eyes. Drifting into a peaceful sleep.

Later That Night

"No! Moth'r! Fath'r!"

Raven shot up from her sleep. She first looked outside, it was still dark out. Then to the boy that was screaming. His tear stained cheek and puffy eyes highlighted by the neon light from the outdoors. Tiny whimpers between his cries gave away his nightmare.

She sat up and pulled him into her lap.

"Don' leave me!"

"Slade, please wake up, please Slade." She spoke softly rocking him back and forth. His cries came softer. His baby blue eyes fluttered open, scared. "Ssh, don't cry. I'm here." She spoke.

"Moth'r?" He asked confused. Tear rolling down his soft cheeks.

"No, sweetie, it's me." She cradled him to her.

"Waven?" She nodded and kissed his head.

They sat there, he in her arms. They sat there till dawn, hoping, wanting, the memory to be gone from his mind.

"What happened?" Raven broken the hours' long silence. "Why were you crying?" She asked him. He laying there, head rested on her shoulder. "Why were you crying about you parents? Why were they leaving you?"

She looked down at him, and he, her. Raven's breath got caught in her throat when he spoke.

"They hated me."

Spoke of evil.
