Author's Note: I apologize if anyone was confused of all the Teuri and Rivet details, I tried my best to make it clearly that Teuri is related to Raven, which in turn kind of makes Rivet related to her as well. Again, I'm sorry for any of the reviewers that were confused about that whole ordeal. On with the story.
Prevarication
Chapter 6
"What do you expect us to do now, sister? You do know that this is going to take a while before all this will work the way you want it to. Vigil will just be ashamed that you were the one that brought him back. Do you even know if he wants to be brought back to this planet?" Rivet asked his sister.
"I don't care what he wants, I've waited this long for father to praise me or even be proud of me, and just for his ignorance I'm going to prove to him that I was the better choice for all of this. I'll show him." Teuri complained, as she tried to come up with the best way to resurrect her grand-father. Trigon will definitely be angry with her, that's for sure; bringing his father to Earth would push him over the edge.
"Teuri, I don't want this to end like this, shouldn't you just talk it over with him instead of bringing his father into this whole ordeal." Rivet tried to reason, but all Teuri was thinking about was getting her father to realize his wrong-doings.
-----Flashback-----
"What are you doing, Teuri… you shouldn't be pushing yourself, and one of these days your going to get yourself hurt trying to…"
"Iris, you might as well give it up, you know she just wants to be like her father." A deep rich masculine voice broke the woman's sentence. His ember eyes never straying from his grand-daughters lean frame. She was carelessly throwing herself into the air trying to do what her half-sister was already capable of.
"Vigil, you know she shouldn't be doing this, ever since Trigon had given Raven most of her magical powers… Teuri is always trying to surpass her even though she wasn't gifted with the magics. I've only bestowed half of my powers within her. The other half is within this child that I'm carrying now. If she pushes herself too much, she's going to end up just like my mother. I do not want to see that happen with my daughter and you can't alter my decision. I'm going to erase her memory once Trigon has moved on, it's only fair that she shouldn't be left with that burden."
"Iris, it wouldn't be fair to you, the girl should know who her father is, and if you proceed with this memory-loss she will also forget about me… and if you ensue, I give you fair warning, the future will not be altered either. What happens will happen. Don't make me feel like I'm the prosecutor. I will be forced into bringing back her memories and I know you don't want that… Take that into consideration, or your children will be against you in the future." Vigil rebutted.
"Vigil, I just don't want my baby to be like Trigon, he has done many terrible things. He shouldn't be able to construe what I want to do. He will not be able to understand, for he doesn't understand love, he never did, and for that he never will."
------End Of Flashback------
"Sister, just take into consideration, that this doesn't seem like the right thing to do… Mother sure did see a lot of him in you, why won't you just let it go and move on?" Rivet questioned.
"Brother, you do not know anything; you might as well just go away. I won't need you for this right now." Teuri bit out sharply not even noticing the expression that crossed her brother's face.
A pair of violet eyes looked out a fogged up window at the waves crashing on the rocks surrounding the island, every so often, she could see the waning moon which made her believe that tomorrow would be the new moon. As she turned to grab her herbal tea, she caught somebody else coming down to the common room. She then turned her back and was about to phase into her room when she saw that the person was BeastBoy, which made her want to even more phase, but he caught her before she could anything.
"Rae?" BeastBoy questioned the air to make sure she was still in his proximity.
"Huh?" Raven questioned back to him, giving herself away. She nervously looked down trying not to make the toaster blow up this time. By the time she looked up again, she felt BeastBoy's hand run down her arm, when his neared her hand they clasped together, which made the toaster blow up, but Raven nor BeastBoy noticed it; they were lost in the moment. They looked to each other and both leaned in together and both felt the others lips brush against their own. Violet eyes went wide, but she didn't move away. She didn't know what to do, but the other person did, he lightly kissed her… In the background the microwave went haywire.
A blonde walked down an empty alley, she didn't know why she was aimlessly wandering but when she caught the glimmer of cooper around the corner, as she neared it, she could make out a silhouette of a man….
"Terra, do you remember me?" The man came closer to her and when he stepped in the light, the girl stepped back in shock.
"Slade… what do you want?"
"I need an apprentice, and you know the drill already. We have a task to do."
BeastBoy woke up once again with Raven wrapped in his arms. He looked down to the girl and smiled to himself. After last nights events they came to the conclusion that they would retire to BeastBoy's room. (They didn't do anything people.) When Raven had begun to stir, he grabbed her hand and held it in his. Raven looked up to where BeastBoy sat. When she crossed her legs underneath her, BeastBoy leaned against her frame and watched as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"So…" BeastBoy started, "do you want to head on downstairs or do you want to stay up here for a while?" He looked down to the girl in hopes of the latter.
"I should head on down." Raven looked to the door, and looked to the sheets that covered her lower half. Unconsciously she pulled the sheets higher and lowered her head from his shoulder to her knees. As she looked around his room, she found the subtlest hints that the room was slowly getting picked up. She looked up at BeastBoy in surprise.
"You've picked up." She noted to him, he blushed slightly as he recalled what he had started doing since Raven had first come up to his room. As her eyes scanned his room, she found that the floor didn't hold any more empty pizza boxes or any other coke cans. She glanced over to the several cases full of different movies with some video cassettes. As her eyes drifted to his, she slowly pushed aside the sheets and rose to her feet.
"I'll see you down there." Shortly Raven left BeastBoy in his room. He looked around his room himself and made a mental note to himself that he needed to order his movies. Since when did I become such a neat-freak? He asked himself. As he continued looking around his room he heard some squeals and laughter.
As he entered the common room, he was greeted with the sight of Bumble Bee wrapping her arms around Arden and Kid Flash talking with Licentious, BB could over hear the two boys talking about Licentious' sister Cordial. He could see Robin and Star go over to a corner of the Tower where both of them would look out the window. BB's eyes then wandered over to Raven and smiled to himself as he watched her converse with Jinx.
Teuri sat herself in the middle of the pentagram that she had drawn on the hard-wood floor. Several candles were laid on the corners of the pentagram; she lit one specific candle first and then lit them in the order of how she had drawn it. After she had finished lighting the candles she muttered the incantation that she had read from the book that her grandfather had written. "Alcator Maltreze Vlamore Coughe Dexpresment Spentmentsore."
Author's Note: Impressive, huh? I'm glad that I was able to type all of this. I would really love any feedback… Any at all. Thanks again!!!!
