Disclaimer: I don't own anyone of the titans or Lestat! And if some one tries to sue me it's your loss because I don't have anything worth taking!
Oh yea one more thing, you should read this stuff very carefully because if you miss something (even the smallest thing) your going to be lost. And if you think you've missed something like the little things I put in the chapter before this one I suggest you reread the other chapter.
(Back with the Titans)
"We're here guys" said Cyborg parking the T-car. They were in the warehouse district part of town. They all got out of the car and looked around. There were cops all over the place, some were looking for evidence while others looked like they were puking or helping those that were or had.
"I have never seen so many sad cops' friends" said Star in a sad voice walking with her friends.
"It looks like they all have been sick." BB said looking at there faces. Robin had already told them what he knew but BB didn't think that it was bad enough for someone to get sick over.
"They have been" the strong voice of the Commissioner broke through their thoughts.
Robin stepped up "we came here as soon as you called, are there still no leads as to who did this?"
"No, and were still trying to keep the press out of it." He pointed over to some officers that were holding back the press and their camera crew. He looked over the Titans wondering if they would be able to take what he and everyone else saw in that building. He noticed that they were one Titan short "where's Raven?"
Robin was about to answer when they heard her voice.
"I'm here, Commissioner," her voice monotone and void of all emotion. She was behind the others as though she had been there the whole time cloaked and in her leotard once again. Her empathic abilities were reaching out to the people that were giving off the strongest emotions; everyone that had been inside. They were all feeling the same thing; sorrow, anger, compassion, and fear above all else.
The others wanted to ask her where she was but they stuck to the task at hand. Robin looked behind her and saw a tall person in a black cloak, his body completely hidden from the sun.
"So you're Lestat?" he said as he eyed the person.
Everyone else looked to where Robin was gazing and saw him, how had they not seen him, he wasn't trying to hide just standing there. The other Titans were getting a weird feeling from him. Starfire backed up a little from the man; she didn't like the feeling at all.
"I am, but proper introductions can wait until after we are inside." His voice was smooth and convincing, it almost lead you to believe what he was saying without question. "Oh don't worry commissioner, I won't mess with anything. I might be able to help if anything else." Lestat said noticing the man's face.
"Alright if you guys need anything we're out here. And if you can't handle being in there its ok." He said making sure that they knew that. He didn't think that they should be in there in the first place. "None of us could…"
"Thanks Commissioner," said Robin "if we need anything we'll come to you."
With that they walked to the warehouse building, Raven and Lestat were trying to smell anything with there heightened senses but they weren't able to get anything from that building. Raven's scenes however picked up on another's magic. "Wait…" they looked back to her, "I can feel magic in the air."
"Is it in the building Raven?" Asked Robin trying to ignore how close Lestat was to her.
"It's all over it." She paused "who ever did this put up concealment spells all around this place. I can't easily sense what's inside."
Lestat spoke up next "I do not smell anything either; and that is not a good sign when magic comes into play." The Titans looked at him with caution, still only seeing darkness where his face should be…
"Well we don't have a choice." Exclaimed Robin walking up to the door, the others following. Robin turned the handle and opened the door; and was greeted by something he didn't expect, darkness. That's all there was; no sound, no smell, no light; just a place void of all the senses.
They walked into the shadows, and Raven and Lestat immediately knew that magic was taking part for this. The door shut on its own accord, and all of a sudden they were allowed to see what was hidden inside.
The mysterious darkness disappeared in a flash. The air was heavily tainted with the smell of blood. All but Raven and Lestat gasped in horror. Beast Boy passed out the moment everything hit him, landing on the floor with a thud. Starfire's breathing quickened and tears started to come to her eyes as the girl had her hands on her mouth to stop from screaming. Raven acted quickly, she went to Star and pulled the girl to her, hiding the girl under her cloak and embracing her friend who started crying immediately. Raven said words of comfort to her, hiding her from everything. Starfire held on tightly to her friend as she cried, glad that for some reason she could no longer smell the stale blood but instead something soothing and if she were in a better state of mind she might had been able to place it but right now she couldn't really tell what scent it was.
Cyborg turned around and lost his lunch, heaving until there was nothing left to give up. When Cyborg was done he turned back to the scene still not believing it. He never thought he would ever see anything like this.
Robin was stunned; he had never seen anything like this. And that was including the time he work with Batman back in Gotham. It took everything in him to not puke like Cyborg.
"You might want to wake your green friend back up." Said Lestat looking onto the scene; his hood still up. There was no trace in his voice that this bothered him, because in reality it didn't.
Raven was still comforting Starfire telling her that it was ok. Rubbing the poor girl's back and still hiding her under her cloak. "Robin I think it would be best if Starfire and the others leave. They don't need to see this." 'They never needed to see something like this…' She thought to herself, 'when I find the one that has done this I'll kill them myself!' Anger was in her thoughts but she quickly repressed it, now was not the time… Soon she could be the demon she was, soon… but not yet, not while the Titans were near…
Robin nodded, "yea Cyborg, take Star and Beast Boy out of here. They don't need to see this; you can leave too its ok." I think Raven and I can handle this crime scene. He didn't include Lestat be cause he really didn't want him here in the first place.
"N…No friends… I am… ok now, I think." Said Starfire's weak voice still under Raven's cloak holding on to the smaller girl like her life depended on it, though Raven never said anything about the girls grip, it's as though she wasn't hurt by it…
"Are you sure Star?" asked Raven gently. Her voice was full of concern for her friend, "you don't have to see this."
"I know friend Raven, but I am feeling much better now, thank you." The Tamaranean said pulling herself out of Raven's arms. She had tears running down her face and a small smile of sadness and thank you mixed together. The smell of blood can back to the girl and she ran over to where Cyborg was and puked up everything in her 9 stomachs. Cyborg helped her and then moved to help BB, carefully waking him up.
"Hey BB, wake up." The little green guy stirred.
"Please tell me that was just a dream and were not in some warehouse with a bunch of dead people, right?" he asked weakly not opening his eyes. He smelled the blood that was around him, telling him he was in the warehouse and it was not a dream.
"Come on man lets get you out of here." Cyborg said helping the green one onto his feet.
"No… it's ok Cy. I'll stay… I just need to empty out my stomach first." He's hands went to his mouth and he turned over and did as he said he was going to do; puke.
Robin went to Cy, Star, and Beast Boy. He asked them if they were sure they wanted to be in here, they said yes. Mean while Raven and Lestat went to one of the bodies.
"Raven, I know none of my kin would have done this; especially so deep in your territory." Stated Lestat as he looked over what looked to be a female body. The body was hanging from long chains that connected to the ceiling like the rest, in a crucifix position. There were deep cuts on the arms, hands and fingers, all in the same direction of the blood flow. The same thing for the legs and feet, the nails were ripped out on her fingers and toes. There was no clothing on any of the bodies, or any lying on the floor. Her eye balls were gone, ripped out it seemed. The tongue too was ripped out as well as her eye teeth. The skin and flesh of the chest and stomach area was removed, showing the ribs of the body, inside of them was removed as well. The heart was gone but the lung sacks were on the floor under the body. The stomach and intestines were detached, strung over the bodies arms and up the chains on both sides so that none of the fluids got mixed into anything.
Robin waked over to them still trying not to vomit. "Do you know… what might have done this?" he asked them, he'd overheard Lestat say that none of his kin would have done this so what did?
They didn't answer him too caught up in what they were seeing, forgetting that the Titans were even there. "Lestat, I think I know why this was done." Raven said slowly as she looked around the body.
"Oh" he looked curiously at her "tell me, why then?"
"Take a look at the other bodies." She walked over to another one it looked just like the other. "This one was done the same way the other one was." Lestat walked over to her taking off his hood.
"Your right little one, so that would mean maybe a ritual of some kind perhaps." He reached out and touched the body's chest with a finger. He brought it to his lips and licked the blood off. The other Titans gagged but Raven wasn't even phased by his action. "They haven't been dead longer then 6 hours." He looked to her the Titans defiantly forgotten to them now. This was just like they way things were between them before he left.
The Titans were just shocked! He just licked blood off of his finger! Who or what was he! Were three of the fours thoughts, Robin knew just what he was, but really as to whom, he only knew a name.
"I think your right; I think this was just a way to get what whoever need for a ritual of some kind. There is too little blood to think other wise." She was feeling something from the bodies, something that should have left them when they died. She was reaching out with a hand to touch the body when Robin's voice rang out to her, and she remembered that they too, were with them.
"Raven what are doing!" yelled Robin with big eyes. 'She isn't going to touch the body is she?' Raven's hand recoiled as if she was burned before she touched the body when she heard his voice.
Lestat chuckled and they turned back to the Titans. "Oh damn, I forgot they were there. I was thinking it was just you and me, little one. Like before I left, remember that the house that had all of those rogue vampires in it. We had to track all of them down and kill their undead asses for killing that group of kids, you remember?"
"Yea I remember" she said quietly looking Robin in the eyes.
"Ok back up and tell me who in the hell is this guy?" asked Cyborg pointing to Lestat.
"More like what is he" said BB, his animal like scenes allowed him to feel that this man was not like then, that and the fact that he licked blood of his finger. Normal people didn't do that…
Lestat laughed, and it frightened the Titans, minus Raven, to think that a man could laugh while in this room. "I'm an old friend of Raven's." He walked over to them his cloak no longer hiding him but swept behind him. "And I not human as you are right to think."
"So then what are you?" asked the frightened Tamaranean backing up to hid behind Cyborg. She was not liking the feeling she was getting from him.
"I'm a Nosferatu." He said calmly and Raven unnoticed by the others was shaking her head, this was not how she wanted them to meet, although she never really wanted them to meet in the first place.
"A what?" asked a bewildered Beast Boy.
"A vampire," said Raven floating over to Lestat's side so he wouldn't get any ideas.
"WHAT!" The three Titans screamed together in shock! Robin didn't scream but his eyes narrowed as he went over what had happened on the T-com when he talked to Raven earlier. Lestat laughed earning a low growl from Raven to shut-up, which he did.
"You're one too aren't you Raven?" asked Robin, the others looked to him then to Raven. Lestat just watched wondering what she was going to tell them.
"Why would you think that Robin?" she asked looking into his masked eyes.
"Because you were going to let him bite you Raven, I heard it." The other Titans just watched. They learned a long time ago not to get in the middle of those two when they were talking or yelling at each other.
"Oh," she said quietly razing an eyebrow. "And what else have you heard thanks to his," she pointed to Lestat, who snickered "big mouth?"
"Raven I know to become a vampire you have to be bitten and from the way he said it makes me think that you're a vampire just like him…" he was worried, vampires hunt people, kill them, so if she was well he didn't want to think about it.
"Ok, kid" said Lestat trying not to laugh. "First you have to be at least half human to be turned to a vampire, and she's not so there for she is not a vampire. Even if I bite her it won't matter, she won't turn, believe me I've tried."
Robin paused; he just said you have to be half human… Raven is half human, right?
"Raven is half human Lestat, or that's what she told us…" he looked to her, she had her eyes closed and her head down. "Right, Raven?" he wanted her to look at him, to tell him she didn't lie to them.
"Is that what she told you?" Lestat turned to look at her. "I thought you said you didn't lie to them just not tell them everything?" his voice was coated in mystery and was so smooth, so soft, almost like a whisper. He grinned to her a grin that had a dark promise in it. "Well except for the Trigon thing, I bet your real father is having a good laugh over that."
"Lestat, shut the fuck up right now!" said Raven lifting her head to yell at the Nosferatu with blood red eyes, pissed that he said those things. Now Robin was going to have even more questions for her!
"Holy shit! You just cussed at me!" said Lestat astonished by her vocabulary. The other Titans too where astonished by that, they had never ever heard her cuss. "Why did you just cuss at me little one?" his whole attitude went from being mysterious to being very worried. It was not a good thing when she was pissed; he knew this from passed experiences…
Raven sighed and calmed down, "I'm sorry, I'm just getting a weird feeling from these bodies." She told trying to move the conversation away from her.
Curiosity wormed its little noisy head into his thoughts, "oh my dear, like what?" he had learned that if she felt something wasn't right, it wasn't. He had spent at least three years by fighting by her side in the Underworld; he had learned quickly to trust her and would gladly place his life in her hands. Something he has done more then once already.
"I feel like, there is something inside of them that shouldn't still be there, Lestat." She walked back over to one of the bodies and looked long and hard at it. "It doesn't make any since."
He walked to stand next to her again, the silent Titans once again forgotten to them as they inspected the bodies. "Has the souls of these dead come to you during your mediation, little one?" he asked her gently, quietly. He had a feeling he knew what she was getting at, and he hoped he was wrong; something he didn't hope for often…
"No they haven't, Lestat you don't think that…" her voice trailed off. If what she was thinking was true well the Titans were going to see whole new side to her.
Robin and the others wanted answers but keep their mouths shut. Whatever was going on right now as to why she just lost her temper just now should be settled first. Then they would ask the many questions that were buzzing in their heads.
"Little one," Lestat sighed "I don't have the power over souls that you do. If someone did do what we're thinking only you would be able to tell." His face held no emotion; he could tell by hers that it was as they thought. He didn't like to see her in pain, he never did.
Raven looked to his eyes then back to the body. Closing her eyes she reached out with her own soul and felt passed the spells. Suddenly her eyes shot open and she gasped, "No" she whispered wishing that it wasn't true.
"Friend Raven, what is wrong?" asked Starfire innocently.
"He trapped their souls in there bodies Starfire that's what's wrong!" she voice rising as well as her anger. "That mother fucker used necromancy!" She turned to Titans her fists clinched, her claws grew out and pierced into her skin. "Whoever did this use forbidden magic just so he could torture them longer! Their souls are trapped in their bodies so that they wouldn't die Starfire that's what's wrong! Their souls haven't left their bodies so they're suffering; only feeling the pain of their death!"
The Titans were shocked! Starfire and the others looked horrified, thinking that someone could or at least would do that just to torture you longer was a hard thing to except. Lestat sighed and placed his hands on her shoulders and gently massaged them under his hands; knowing that this was hard on her. When she had felt for the body's soul she felt everything it was feeling, and that alone was enough to make her mad, now up that about 25 more times for the rest of the souls in here and you'd have one pissed off half demon!
She felt Lestat's hands on her shoulders and calmed herself, retracting her claws and letting her palms heal. She forced herself to remember that the Titans weren't use to these kinds of things… But damn it, necromancy was forbidden to be used by others, and to such an extent; well lets just say that there's a demon in her territory that won't have to worry about what they're going to do on Devils Night. "I'm sorry about yelling at you Starfire, Robin I know you have questions for me but can they wait. I want to free these souls and get out of here first ok." She looked into his masked eyes again.
"Alright Raven, our questions can wait, but how are you going to get their souls out. You just said necromancy was forbidden?" He and the others walked over to them so that they were only about six feet from her and Lestat.
"I don't use necromancy Robin." She sighed wondering how she would explain this right, luckily or unluckily for her Lestat decided that he wanted to tell.
"Her power over someone's soul is natural."
"What?" asked Beast Boy scratching his head still not getting it, but for once he wasn't the only one.
Raven decided that it would be better if she explained. "Lestat let me tell them." He shrugged his shoulders and let her go saying he'd shut up. She shook her head at him and sighed, "What he means is I don't have to use necromancy to control someone's soul. Its part of my powers and before you ask Beast Boy no, I don't know the extent of my abilities." She turned over to the body next to her and extended a hand "watch" she placed her hand on the body's chest, making the Titans squirm. Closing her eyes she felt for the soul again but this time pulled it out to her. She slowly pulled her now bloody hand from the body taking the soul from it as well. The Titans stared in awe at it. In her hand was a round glowing orb about the size of a softball. It was a baby blue and white with a ghostly glow. It had a whispery trail as it moved in her hand while she grasped it. Raven let it go and it flew around her circling her body up and down, emitting waves of gratitude for freeing it.
The Titans were shocked their mouths hanging opened, "This is a human soul, the thing that leaves when you die." She looked to the Titans as the soul moved around them. "Unless a soul is brought out like this by my hand you would normal not see them, unless another's magic was brought into play of course." The soul was flying by Starfire and she cautiously reached out to touch it.
"I might not do that if I was you Star," said Cyborg trying to get a read out of it. Starfire quickly pulled her hand away from it as it went to Robin to circle.
"Cyborg you're not going to be able to scan it, and Star if you were to try touching a person's soul your hand would just go right through it." Starfire's hand went back to the soul that was coming back over to her. She put her hand right into and she felt nothing just like what Raven said would happen. Beast Boy did the same thing and he too couldn't feel it.
"Weird" he said as he looked at his hand and then his eyes went back to the soul that traveled towards Raven again who reached out and cupped the soul in both her hands, holding it close to her. "How come you can touch it?" he asked.
"Because she has power over It." said Lestat "the same thing would happen if she wanted to take out a living person's soul." He stated as though it was obvious.
"You can do that!" asked Beast Boy wondering if all of those threats she told him were in her capability, she nodded and looked back to the soul in her hands listening to it. He took about three giant steps back not wanting to piss her off anymore; scratching the pranks he had for her today off his list in his mind.
Robin watched her while she looked at the soul she held delicately in her hands. Its light glow casting a ghostly glow onto her moon kissed skin making her even more beautiful. He saw how her eyes looked deeply into the soul she held. He was wondering what she was looking for or at. "So, now that the soul is free from its body what are you going to do with it?" he asked her while moving closer to her, but making sure to keep at least 2 feet from Lestat. He didn't like the feeling he was getting from that man.
She looked to Robin and let the soul go once again; it circled her body again not knowing where to go. "I'm going to do like I always do Robin. Take it to heaven's gates or hell's which ever this soul belongs to; as well as the rest in here."
"How?" He noticed that her hand that once had blood on it was clean.
"During my meditations I take the souls that come to me into my own and guide them to where they belong, whether it is heaven or hell doesn't matter to me." He nodded, he still didn't understand everything but he could ask later right now they needed to get out of here. "So what do you want us to do?" the other Titans too wondered how they could help her.
"There nothing you can do so just wait and don't touch the bodies." She said looking over them.
"No problem there." Said BB as he went back to watching the soul that was carefully trailing over Raven's cloaked body.
"Perhaps little one," said Lestat moving up behind and placing his hands onto her shoulders again. He leaned down to speak into her ear, though it would have had a better effect if her hood was down but that didn't matter. "It might be best for them if they got away from these bodies. You told me yourself that this it not something you would ever want them to see."
"No that is ok new friend Lestat; I believe that we are all ok now, yes?" said Starfire slowly looking to her friends they nodded. Starfire really didn't know if he was their friend or just Raven's but she considered everyone that was not a criminal a friend. Perhaps that was a little flaw in her design but that didn't matter to her.
"Suit yourself then." He said as he and the others watched Raven move to the next body and pull the soul out the same way she had with the other. The two souls swirled around each other then went back to Raven and traveled around her again. She watched them for a second before going to the next body.
The Titans watched, amazed by the beauty of the souls as they flew around the room. She sent some of them to occupy the Titans, which Beast Boy and Starfire tried unsuccessfully at catching. Cyborg too was busy with a soul as it flew around his face and arm, trying to scan it. Robin and Lestat watched her as she collected the souls. She looked absolutely beautiful with the many souls gathered around her cloaked form. Lestat caught Robin watching her; he tilted his head thinking about something before shaking his head. He began to walk over to Raven as she collected the last soul.
Robin watched Lestat walk over to Raven and joined him wanting to know what the vampire was doing. Raven was lightly creasing the last soul as it floated in front of her with her hood down. 'She looks so beautiful.' He thought to himself as they approached.
Lestat paid no mind to Robin as he followed, he had something else planed. Lestat used his inhuman speed to try to catch the dark girl by surprise. Quickly he went behind her and grabbed her arms and held them out gently in his hands.
Raven gasped and felt her arms being pulled out and her body being pressed against another's, the lack of body heat told her that it was Lestat. She had been so preoccupied with the souls she hadn't even sensed his approach.
He buried his face into her neck and breathed in deeply taking in her scent, lilacs and lavender like always.
Robin watched amazed by Lestat's speed, he didn't even see him move! But he was even more amazed by his actions. 'Why in the hell is she letting HIM touch her like that! She doesn't even let me touch her… so why him?' he saw her sigh and relax in his arms. 'Why are they so close, it's like their lovers?' That thought hit Robin hard, 'What if they are lovers! NO! Their not! Raven would have told us! Wouldn't she…?' his thoughts became more depressing as he looked to them. He moved closer so he could hear what they were saying.
"Boo," whispered Lestat as he grasped her arms and buried his face into her neck breathing in her unique scent.
"Boo back," said Raven as she leaned into his embrace. "So what do you want Lestat?" she watched some of the souls mingle together in front of them.
"I want to bite you what else." He chuckled and let her arms go only to wrap one arm around her while his other went to the hem of her cloak and pull it way from her neck. He began kissing her neck and her hands went to gently clasp his arm around her.
The souls that were occupying the other Titans flew back to Raven curious as to what the vampire was doing to her. The Titans followed the souls with their gaze and saw Lestat holding Raven and kissing her neck. At first glance they thought he was going to be killed for touching her but as they watched they saw her smile. Little did they know he had just lightly dragged his fangs across her skin. They walked over to where Robin was. Cyborg had his fists clinched; no one touches his little sister like that!
"What do you think you're doing touching my little sister!" He said his voice on the verge of yelling. The two looked up to the others and Raven tried to get his arm off but he had a good grip and she still didn't feel like using her demonic strength to make him let go tonight. This was just going to have to end up being another question they were going to ask about later.
Lestat looked him right in the eye. "I happen to be trying to bite her at the moment so if you don't mind…" he went back to her neck, trying his hardest to persuade her into letting him drink from her. If this was anyone else he would have already bit them but it wasn't and if he tried to bite her without her permission he would just be poisoned… again. And he didn't want that, it was a taste that took weeks to get rid of and it almost sent him back to the grave, permanently.
Starfire, Beast Boy and, Cyborg's eyes grew huge! "WHAT!" they screamed as one. Robin had seen him brush fangs across her neck and put two and two together when she moaned.
"Friend Raven why do you not fight him?" Starfire asked with her big inquisitive green eyes.
Raven looked up to her friend, Lestat was doing a very good job of persuading her right now she was just about to tell him too bite her. "Why would I Starfire?" her eyes roamed over the Titans. "A vampire's bite doesn't hurt; it makes you feel like you're in a complete bliss."
"Come on little one," whispered Lestat looking to the titans. "Let us show them, please, it's been far too long since I've bitten you." He went back to kissing her neck, wanting to bite her so badly!
Some of the souls were flying around the two a few sliding through Lestat's body trying to make him let go but Lestat didn't even feel them. A few others were just flying around them. Just because they were only souls and no body didn't mean that they couldn't hear or understand what's being said. A couple wanted to see what was going to happen while the rest just wanted Lestat to let Raven go so that they could be on their marry way.
"Can't you wait until later Lestat?" she asked trying not to give in to his persuading, but damn he was so good at it; he was always so good at it...
"Little one I've waited long enough." He said a little roughly nipping her neck making her close her eyes and quietly moan.
"Hay I want to see this!" BB said as he watched them with big eyes and a grin. Neither he nor the rest of the Titans had ever seen anyone get this close to Raven so he really wanted to know what was going to happen.
"You see little one, they won't mind. And you're so tense, what's stopping you from just letting me bite you?" Lestat asked her licking her neck before nipping at her again making her gasp once more.
She looked to them; it was the Titans that were stopping her right now she didn't know what their reaction would be if they saw this. But then again it might be best if they knew what a bite was like. 'If they know what its like maybe, just incase they see me hunting, they won't freak out...too much.' She thought to herself. She looked the Titans in the eyes, "it's your guys' choice, if you want to see what it's like he'll bite me now. But if not" she voice hardened just for Lestat so he wouldn't complain "he'll stop and we'll wait until a time you guys aren't around."
The Titans thought about for a second, on one hand they could see her reaction to a vampire's bite or on the other they could just tell them to wait and never know.
"Well, I want to know what so great about it so, bite her!" said the excited Changeling only to get hit in the head be an unseen force, though Raven did grin when he yelped.
"I believe friends that I too wish to know what it would be like to be bitten." Admitted Starfire slowly, it had puzzled her that bite could be pleasurable.
"Ok" sighed Cy as he thought about it. "I'm curious too."
Lestat was grinning from ear too ear. 'Yes, now that only leaves the traffic light!' He looked to Robin 'if he's the reason I cannot bite her I'm going to kill him! I don't care if she gets mad at me, I really don't like him anyways.'
Robin looked on defiantly 'How could they just say that! That only leaves me with the choice of saying YES. I don't want to say yes I don't even want him touching her!' he groaned "fine" he said with much reluctance.
Lestat couldn't have been happier! He grinned even more showing his fangs, "well little one?" he pulled her hem down more and kissed her neck again.
She sighed and smiled "go ahead Lestat, just drink slowly this time ok."
Lestat chuckled "I always do other wise your blood over whelms me, little one." He said her nickname is a hushed tone. He moved so he could support her better, pulling her body closer to his. The Titans watched anxiously, silently wondering what it was going to be like. "This time your communicator had better not go off." He growled out and Raven laughed lightly.
He was about to bite down when... "What does he mean by that?" asked Beast Boy. Lestat eyes glowed a deep blood red as he growled like a fierce wolf at him for interrupting him…again!
Raven told them quickly as they backed away from him. "He means that he was going to bite before we came but Robin called right before he could."
"Yes and now if you're done…" his eyes went back to normal and he cautiously placed his long fangs onto her neck, once again waiting for her word.
Raven sighed and tilted her head more looking to her friends, "bite". She didn't need to tell him twice.
She felt a sharp piercing feeling in her neck as his fangs sunk into her flesh making her gasp. He bit down harder when he tasted the first drop of her precious blood. His eye shot open swirling with a blood red color just from that one drop. He closed his eyes again and let himself get lost in this feeling.
She closed her eyes when he started to slowly drink her blood that flowed into his mouth. She let herself get lost in the over whelming feeling of pleasure that was going though her body. She was in pure bliss, the Titans forgotten as well as everything else. Her body was being hit with wave after wave of ecstasy from Lestat's bite as he held her gently.
She let some of her control go, her lips pulled back as her fangs grew to there full length. Her claws lengthen as well sinking into his arm, making him groan and bite down harder. She gasped again, and her body relaxed into his as he drank from her.
Lestat was in a world that only consisted of him and his precious little bird in his arms. Her blood was like fire-ice! It was unimaginable, the taste of her blood was indescribable; it was unlike anything thing he had ever tasted! Drinking her blood was like finding the forbidden wine only meant for the Gods! It over whelmed him every time he bit her! Sending waves of warmth and power coursing through his body, making him feel only her. The taste and feeling of it going down his throat made him want; no crave more of this elixir that sent him into such a state. But despite all of that Lestat could tell that she was holding back most of the power in her blood.
The Titans watched in amazement. The way the Lestat was holding Raven oh so gently and being oh so careful not to spill one drop of her blood, shocked them; could he really be so gentle? They looked at Raven's face seeing her fangs lengthen. They never knew she had fangs, but they'd ask later. They were wondering if his bite was as good as what they were seeing from the look on her face. She looked as though she was in a complete bliss, if you asked BB right now he'd say she was having sex! Her tongue was tracing her fangs as she lightly moaned in his arms.
"Lestat," she whispers slowly "that's enough." The Nosferatu growled but pulled his fangs out slowly not wanting to be poisoned. She sighed and he started to lick up the blood from the bite careful not to miss any of it. Her body was completely relaxed and he held her to him as he continued to lick her wound. She was lightly gasping for air as her body was beginning to recover and come back from the clouds.
Lestat looked up to the Titans as he continued to lick the bite. He smiled when he saw their faces. He felt Raven recovering though her eyes were still closed and she still had a slight pant so he held her tighter to his now warm body.
"Wow" exclaimed the Titans. It was the only word they could think of for what they just saw. It was, in a way beautiful, not cruel or harmful like they thought it might be. Her smile of bliss on her face while Lestat continued to lick the bite was something they had never seen on their dark friend.
"Dude, Raven you look like you just got laid!" BB said snickering completely missing the point, as usual. Lestat laughed as Raven gave the idiot a death glare.
"Close" he said "but not quite." He laughed lightly and straitened up behind her. Now they could see just how tall he was. He stood at about 6'5 and was stroking her hair lightly keeping her clam. Raven sighed and leaned back into his embrace.
"You see, a vampire's bite isn't all that bad." Raven said quietly. She had regained her breath and the rush of the bite was no longer affecting her so much.
"You should feel her bite." He said calmly looking at the Titans. Raven gasped and quickly elbowed him in the gut making him let her go and grab his stomach in pain. "Fuck girl, what was that for! That bloody hurt!"
"What do you think!" she yelled at him turning around to face him.
"What I thought you told them that you hunted." He said striating back up.
"NO I didn't you idiot!" Raven yelled back at him. This was not good; the Titans didn't need to know that. She knew Robin was going to ask about it now and that was a question she really didn't want to answer.
"What do you mean she hunts?" said Robin in a strong voice, his eyes narrowed. The two stopped fighting and looked to him.
"I mean exactly what I said, bird boy." Said Lestat smirking. He was just daring the boy to attack him.
Robin looked at Lestat then to Raven "well Raven, what does he mean?" She looked at him with sad eyes.
"Robin…" her voice was quiet, "can this wait?" she looked at the soul she had silently called to her. "These souls need to go where they belong. Please… can this wait, I swear you can ask me later." Robin had never heard her really say please like that. It was like she was afraid or something.
He sighed, "Alright Raven I'll ask after you take these souls to where they need to go." She nodded and gave him a silent thank you. "Alright guys," taking command again "I think we've been here long enough." They agreed, "Let's go home there's nothing more we can do here."
"Umm, what about these guys?" asked BB pointing at the soul that just went by him.
"I've got them." Said Raven, she called the souls to her with her mind and out stretched and arm opening one side of her cloak. They all went to her some circling her before going into her cloak, disappearing into the darkness of her soul.
"Well what are we waiting for?" said Lestat. They looked at him then all started walking to the door. Cyborg griped the handle then looked to Lestat.
"Aren't you going to put your hood back up man?" he asked a little curious.
Lestat laughed and shook his head, "I have no need to, Raven's blood is… How should I put this…" he paused "it gives me power. Makes it so I don't have to fear the sun, at least until I burn it off but it takes much longer then normal so I should be good when it comes to the sun for about two or three days since she held back some of her this time." He said causally. "Of course I suppose its good you did this time little one, it might not be good for me to be drunk off your blood in front of your friends, huh?" exclaimed Lestat as he looked to the dark bird that was at his side. His voice never once faltered from his mysterious tone.
"No it wouldn't," She said shaking her head. "Not this time."
"Oh" was Cyborg's only reply to what he had just learned. Raven pulled her hood back up not waiting anyone to accidentally see the bite that was healing slower then normal. Cyborg opened the door and Lestat closed his eyes for moment, the light stinging them.
"Damn now I remember why I don't like the Sun." he blinked a few times before saying he was ok.
With that they left the warehouse and Robin talked to the Commissioner. Raven had told Lestat to go back to the Underworld and try to find out if anyone was trying to do any rituals or bragging about something like this. When Robin got back to them Lestat was gone. Raven told them there was a place she liked to go to send the souls where they belong and then she was gone. Robin and the rest had about a million questions for the dark girl but since she wasn't there they just went home.
