Raven walked along the ship before getting a sudden pain behind her eyes and leaning on the wall. She heard wails surrounding her and she was no longer on the pirate ship. She was in an underwater dungeon with bones scattered about as if they were dirty laundry. The screams seemed to rip her apart over and over again until she was led to a beautiful woman chained to the ocean floor. Her hair obscured her face. Then she heard the heavy footsteps coming closer. She hid in a darker corner of the room. She feared he would hear her body tearing into pieces and silently begged the woman to stop screaming.

"Arella, how are you, my sweet?" The voice growled and suddenly Raven was filled with a new sort of dread. She knew this voice. And if she heard him correctly, she knew the woman as well.

The woman continued to scream and scream. Raven wanted to reach out and help her. She wanted to comfort her and take down Trigon. She wanted her mom to know she was loved. Yet she couldn't because the shadows were tying her down and gagging her mouth.

"Now, love, it all stops when our dear, little daughter decides to make her way back to the castle. She seems to think that leaving will not have any consequences. Let's show her how wrong she is."

Then Arella's back arched unnaturally and her eyes turned solid black. Her screams took on a more tortured air. Her fingers scratched at the floor. Raven struggled against the shadows to take down Trigon against whatever the odds. Trigon's head turned right at towards Raven's hiding place.

"Mommy and Daddy miss you, sweetie. Come home."

"R… Ra… Rae? …Rave? Raven? Raven! Raven!" A loud voice woke her up and suddenly she was back on the ship.

"Wha-what happened? Where am I?" Raven immediately tried to stand up before Garfield forced her to stay down.

"I was hoping you could tell me. I was coming to bother you again when you were on the floor."

"I-I don't remember anything. Just this… this feeling. This pain," Raven punctuated her statement with a shudder.

Garfield helped her up and said, "Well let's get you something to eat and maybe we can talk it out?"

Raven shrugged off his hands and snarled. "The last thing I ever want to do is talk with you."
"There's my feisty mama. I thought you'd gone soft on me."

"I'd never do anything on you."

"A man needs to have his fantasies."

"But… you aren't a man, so how does that apply to you?"

Garfield laughed heartily. "You win this time, Rae, but I'll get you to drop your guard yet."

"Call me Rae one more time and your grandchildren's grandchildren will have nightmares about me."


A/N So I hope y'all don't hate me. School has been crushing me. But now I have a two week spring break, so I'll try and write ahead and maybe I'll start updating on a regular schedule? I don't know. I'm such a procrastinator. Also, no song this chapter. Although, if y'all have not been let down by my song choices before, here's a song to try: The Haunting by Set It Off.
