I writhed against the hold of the men, unfortunately it wasn't good enough. They must have done something to me while back in Titan's tower. I didn't scream because I knew that would do absolutely nothing and I needed to figure a plan of escape. Did he really think he could take me without a fight? The next thing I realize is that I was being thrown into the back of a black car and I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. Everything went black.
Later
I woke up in the back of a car surrounded by three huge men. I struggled to remember the past event and as to how I got there. Fighting with Robin-Titan tower-…… Striker! I then tried not to panic, but I had always said how I would never go back there. My senses were slow and I realized I had been drugged or something. The car came close to a cave and I had no idea why we were going there; the facility wasn't located at that cave. My mind was past panicking at this point. I knew where I was going to end up and I knew how that was going to feel. The car entered the cave and the three men just sat there silence with smug expressions on their faces. I knew they were forbidden to hurt me unless extreme need arose. The car stopped and I just laid my head back on the seat. The sooner they got this over with the better. Then the big man on the outside shuffled and got out of the car.
"Let's go 2609." He said calmly.
I guess I got the name back. I was back to being an animal and no longer a human.
I slowly got out of the car and stumbled forward. Damn drugs, can't even walk. The man caught my arm and dragged me behind him. The place was oddly familiar to me; I knew I had never been there before but regardless the eeriness made me feel like home. Home: that's what it was. It reminded me of my home. I knew then that it was only going to get worse. I couldn't help but question why they drugged me all the way out there. The facility was thousands miles away from this cave. The man who had my arm seemed to not realize I could barely keep up. I noticed my senses were becoming sharper, which meant the drugs were wearing off. We came into a huge circular room that was dark, very dark. And in the front of this room was Slade and Terra. Terra seemed to not recognize me; I was far away from them both.
"Alright Slade I got what you needed, but I'm afraid that giving me Raven wasn't enough. You're going to have to do more than that." Said a smooth Striker.
Sounded just like him; he was never capable of holding on a promise.
"We had a deal Striker. You will give me what I need or I'll kill her right in front of you." Seethed Slade.
"What! You traded Raven for your play toy! You're disgusting!" Screamed Terra.
"Apprentice I advise you to keep your mouth shut before I permanently shut it for you. Understand?" Slade retorted.
Terra stood there eyeing me and Striker. I knew she wanted to attack just not sure how much the cost would be. I looked up at her and that was enough. Terra lifted her hands and a rock came hurdling towards us. I immediately ducked while the man holding me got smashed and fell to the ground dead. I ran for the door as another rock flew into Striker. His head was literally smashed into the floor. Striker was dead. He was dead and I was free: finally free! My joy was short lived as I heard a blood curdling scream. I turned and saw my sister being thrown to the ground. Her body then went flying to the opposite wall and fell limp. The blood was everywhere.
"Terra!" I screamed.
I then ran for him. Slade was killing my sister and I was about to make him pay hell for it. He crouched and waited. I knew he didn't think I could do anything; man was he about to get a reality check. I flew in the air towards his body and kicked him in the face. He went flying backwards, and I landed in a crouching position. I looked upwards and saw him baffled.
"Well seems like you're full of surprises Raven, but this is a fight you cannot possibly win." Slade said smoothly.
"You're so full of crap Slade. Just shut up and fight already!" I yelled.
We both walked back and forth between us and eyed each other. Then he made his move and somehow I landed on my back with his hand on my throat. He bent over me and tried to look into my eyes. I then brought my hand to his stomach and unleashed my fury. His eyes revealed the frenzy of terror that I longed for, but it wasn't enough; it would never be enough. I wanted to make him beg me for death. I lifted his body on the weight of my hands. I could feel the blood literally sliding down my arm. I then kicked his stomach off my hand and watched his body fly to the wall. I walked over to him and pulled my hood off my head, and then crouched down to his broken body. I put my hand to where his heart was pumping fast and sliced into it while ripping off his mask. It was HIM. It was Anthony and here I was ripping his heart out. His eyes went into total shock at the sight above him. I leaned right to his ear and breathed slowly.
"I hope you rot in Hell." I seethed.
I then ripped my hand out of his chest leaving his heart there. His eyes rolled into the back of his head. In the corner of my eye I saw Terra's lifeless body. I ran over to her and cried.
"Why! Tell me!" I screamed and continued to scream until I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Alyeth, let's go home." Said a very saddened Robin.
I knew all the Titans were there and had witnessed most of the horror that I conducted. I slowly brought myself into a standing position. The Titans were in complete shock at the sight of me. Here was there precious Alexandra covered in blood, the blood of another. I was their Raven, and I had lied to them.
"Right, let's go before I go and rip out his heart." I said quietly.
HE killed my sister, the only true family I had left. First my mother and now her. My world was literally crushed. I turned back slightly and saw Anthony sprawled on the floor. The Titans believed him dead, only I knew better. He would come back to me, he always came back; and when he did I wasn't sure what I'd do. I definitely hated him, but I believe I always hated him; and loved him all the same. I was his Cathy and forever haunt him till he died, but who knew when that would be.
"Goodbye love. I'll be seeing you soon." I whispered quietly.
With that said I walked out with the Titans back to the tower, to home.
