-1Chapter three: eighth grade promotion disaster
Okay, I have gone this far, but IF YOU WANT ANOTHER CHAPTER AFTER THIS, I NEED PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY REVIEW! TWO READERS HAVE THIS STORY ON THEIR ALERTS LIST AND I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN READING THIS SO REVIEW ALREADY! Please!
Anyway, The only thing in life that I own is myself (and technically I don't even own myself) and my tons of pets. SO DON'T BUG ME unless you leave a review. Then you shall be worshipped.
Arella was as nervous as ever when she saw the date on the calendar, for it was eighth grade promotion. Raven was doing perfectly at her new school, but that could change in an instant.
"Okay Raven, I need you to be in the best of best behaviors today. I'm not saying that you were being bad earlier today but… You just can't lash out today. Just think, if you do, then you'll have more witnesses her than you did at your old school."
Ever since the incident at Azarath Jr. High, the government was monitoring every action that Raven made at school. She would have a government officer following her everywhere except for home and the bathroom.
Raven sighed as she held the dress that her mother had bought for her up to her. She looked herself in the mirror and went to go change into it.
Arella paced back and forth and looked at the clock in the kitchen. It read 7:00. Raven had fifteen minutes to get ready. After five minutes, she came walking down the stairs in her new dress.
Arella's eyes shined as she saw the beautiful shiny violet satin dress look even more beautiful on Raven. "Raven, it matches you hair and eyes perfectly! You'll definitely stand out. Here, let me get my camera!" said Arella excitedly.
Raven had put all of her hair in a ponytail. For once you could actually see her ears!
Arella came running down the stairs with her digital camera. Raven thought of something. Hmmm.. I wonder….if I focus on the camera enough, can I drain the batteries? Raven tried, focusing only on the camera.
Her mom was about to turn on the camera. "What? But I just charged it last night….Raven, do you have anything to do with this?" asked Arella. Raven just shook her head. Arella sighed and ran upstairs again.
This time she came down with a large video camera. Arella plugged a cord into the camera and the other end in an outlet and started taping.
"Mother!" shouted Raven as she put her hand over the video lens. "Raven, you'll appreciate this later. Remember, this will create memories for you and your possible kids to look at in the future." Arella said. She pushed Raven's hand away and taped her daughter.
"Hey, why don't you call Azar and tell her to come over? Instead of taping me…" suggested Raven. Arella turned off the tape and picked up the phone. Wait. What have I done! Azar will probably have a video camera and plug it into the wall too…. thought Raven.
Arella talked on the phone for a few minutes and hung up. "Azar will be here soon with her camera and charger. I wonder what happened to the camera…" Arella pondered on the thought until the doorbell rang. Raven answered it and saw Azar.
"Raven! You look astonishing!" said Azar as she embraced Raven. She let go and looked Raven in the eye. "You ready for your video taping?" asked Azar. Raven inwardly said no but found herself nodding.
"Good." said Azar as she plugged in her video camera. "We got five minutes until we have to go." said Arella as she joined the group with her video camera. Azar and Arella turned on the camera at the same time.
"Today is Raven's eighth grade promotion. She got expelled for lashing out at people at her old school, but we hope that everything goes well today!" said Arella. Five minutes passed like a speeding bullet and everybody hopped into Arella's ford Freestyle.
"Okay, both of our cameras are fully charged, so nothing should happen." said Arella as she double checked her camera. She placed the keys in the ignition and started the car. Raven looked out of the window nervously. She was already feeling different than this morning.
At school, everyone hopped out of the car. Arella brushed out Raven's hair one more time and then let her go to the group of other eight graders. Arella sighed. "My Raven is growing up too fast…" she mumbled.
Raven had no friends at school because they all thought that she was creepy. A person from the government came up to her. "I'll be watching you today. If you do well today, you won't have to deal with the government anymore." he said.
Raven nodded as a teacher came up to all of the eighth graders. "Get in alphabetical order." everyone did as they were told and Raven found herself at the end of the line with the government man next to her.
The principle said many things about the eighth graders and Raven almost conked out, but just as her eyes closed, everyone in the line was moving.
The principle handed out certificates to the kids as they walked by, and if he recognized them, he would say something about that particular student.
It was finally Raven's turn. When she walked on the stage, everyone went silent except for her mom and Azar. "Go Raven! That's my daughter!" Shouted Arella, Raven turned red with embarrassment.
"Raven, you came to our school in need…." the principle rambled on and on and Raven suddenly felt very angry. She didn't know why she was angry, but before she knew it, her face changed and she had four red eyes.
The principle gasped as Raven grew taller. Arella rushed to get to her, but she had to push her way through the infinite people who were running and screaming that were going the opposite way.
The government man took out a gun and pointed it at Raven. She faced him, and a black aura sent him flying very far away. "Mwahaha!! You all shall die a horrible and painful death!" screamed Raven.
Azar was close behind Arella as she reached Raven. "RAVEN! STOP THIS NOW!!" shouted Arella over the noise. Chairs and other objects started being thrown at the people running away.
"Raven! Please!" pleaded Arella. Raven gasped and turned back to normal. She fainted. "Oh no!" said Arella as she rushed over to Raven. Her body was cold and limp. Raven opened her eyes. "Mother…what happened? I was fine when I got up on the stage, but when I was listening to the principle, I just suddenly felt mad for no reason….I feel weak…" murmured Raven.
The principle ran away like a chicken with the other people. Azar approached Arella. "Like I said many years ago. It cannot be helped." she said solemnly. Raven passed out just as the government man came back with more people.
"Arella Roth, we need to take you and your daughter with us. Your friend need not to come." he said. Arella handed the keys to Azar and waved to her. She waved back.
Arella picked up the unconscious Raven and followed the government men (I'm just going to call them G-men.) into a long limo. "Ladies first." said a G-man. "Thank you." said Arella as she went inside.
She sat Raven up in a seat and buckled her in. After she buckled herself in, she stared at all of the people around her. They were all from the Azarathian government.
When they got to their destination, Arella picked up Raven and carried her into the large building. The G-men led her into a special room on the seventh floor. She sat down in front of the desk and put Raven in the other chair.
The man in the chair on the other side of the desk signaled for the G-men to go away. The man placed two files on his desk. "Angela Roth- or what do you go by now?" he asked. "Arella Roth." Replied Arella.
"Right. Arella Roth and Raven Roth. Your daughter seems to have problems. On the first day of school in eighth grade, she viciously attacked five other girls." he said. "I wouldn't call it vicious, but it is the truth."
"Good. Now, you were sued by the school. Were you guilty?" he asked. Arella nodded. "Okay. Nothing happened between then and today. Did anything suspicious happen this morning before graduation?"
"Well, my camera was fully charged, but I saw her staring at it weirdly and then when I tried to turn it on, it died." she replied.
"Okay. Mrs. Roth-"
"I'm Miss now. Sorry."
"Okay, Ms. Roth, your daughter is the offspring of you and the inter-dimensional demon Trigon. We believe that your child is a half-demon. This is a major hindrance to the Azarathian community. We give you three days to shape up your daughter. After the three days are up, we'll ask you to bring her back. A guy with a tranquilizer gun will be in an isolated room with her trying to aggravate her. If she lashes out at him, your daughter will be permanently banished from Azarath. We will be monitoring the room. So will you."
Arella gasped. "Three days? That is not enough to completely change her personality! I can't help it that she lashed out like that!" shouted Arella. "She is harmful. Your safety is especially at risk. She could kill somebody some day." he said.
Arella looked at her hands in her lap. "I am doomed…."
Wow….. My older sister kind of gave me this idea because she used to try to kill things by just staring at them…. ANYWAY!! Longer chapter! YAAAAYYY! Anyway, review or else no update… Sorry but eet ees thee horreeble truth! I am thinking about at least five more chapters if not more. Please review and BYE!
