Chapter 11
Beastboy is landing now on the edge of the building, where a large balcony is. We plan on a surprise attack. Robin, Star Cyborg and I are sitting in a circle figuring out the attack plan. I am sitting right on the edge.
Beastboy is checking out the scene right now, as a fly. I look down; the scene below is cars racing back and forth. There are cars and things right below me, and I could dive. The cement is very welcoming right now…it would get me out of doing this. I really doing want to do this…but I have to. I sigh and look back at Robin who gives me a comforting glance.
Beastboy returns and turns into human, "Hey, he's in there. He is talking to someone…someone who isn't human." He sits on the ground next to me, taking hold of my hand, and holding it in his lap.
"What do you mean, 'isn't human?" Robin asks.
"I mean, it is some large creature…with wings. Like a dragon." Beastboy says.
"Do you mean the dragon we fought earlier this month?" Starfire looks confused.
"I think they were the same."
"Blood red with black streaks on it?" Cyborg asks
"Yeah, and also had a long black mane and bright yellow eyes." Beastboy adds.
Now it clicks…my father owned a dragon; the one of the very few dragons that has ever existed. Well, according to him at least. "Arsonen" I whisper and everyone turns to look at me. I feel terror rush through my veins as I am silenced and someone is entering my mind.
I am instantly surrounded by fire and am standing on a rock. One wrong step and I will be smothered in lava.
"Raven." I hear the voice of my father.
"NO!" I scream. It can't be. It can't be him. "I killed you!"
"You killed my body, but a part of me still lives inside you, daughter." No, no, no. He can't be here…the outline my father appears in the distance.
"NO!" I scream a second time.
"I see you remember Arsonen, my dragon." My father says.
"no…" I whisper.
"Yes…my being may have died, but Arsonen has not. He lives to choose who will succeed me as ruler."
"Ruler of what? My mind!" that is why he was able to control me so easily. Daniel is my father's successor or the friend of him. Daniel is a demon, a full blooded demon, and I let him get inside my mind, feelings and thoughts…and my body. That is why I warmed up to him so easily; let him treat me like my father treated me. It was really old habits that will never die no matter how many times I try to kill them.
"Now you are getting the picture. Daniel only started with you. You will easily go back to him, the way you easily went back to me. By playing with him, him getting you to cause harm to yourself; that was all part of his plan. You will go back to him, you will do more with him, and you will continue to spill that blood. You will do this and it will make him even stronger, and he shall triumph over good. You shall be his queen, although half demon, you are still a princess, and he will take you again, the way I took your virginity and made you scream again and again and again."
"You are SICK!"
"Raven." I hear, but it is not my father.
"Oh, and you stopping time and having sex with him THEN only made him stronger than it would've made him in regular time. Just so you know how stupid you really are and how smart and great a ruler Daniel will make. Goodbye Raven." My father disappears from my sight.
"Raven." The voice repeats again, and I realize it was all just a dream, but why did it feel so real?
My eyes focus back into reality and everyone is circled around me. "What happened?" I ask, but really, I know what happened…my father contacted me…my boyfriend used me…and the one I thought I once loved is really a demon.
"You whispered some name then blacked out. Literally." Cyborg says.
"Yes, your body glowed with the black fire, and your eyes became black as night." Starfire says.
"Arsonen…the dragon's name is Arsonen." I pause and thing, "Holy SHIT!" I snarl. I slept with a demon! I am like my mother…my mother did this with my father, and produced me. Oh no…what if…what if I am pregnant. I am late in my monthly cycle, but I thought it was just because of all the stress...I need to take a test… "I'll be right back." I say, flying away, but I feel a hand grabbing mine, holding me back.
I turn around to see a metal hand surrounding my tiny wrist, "Don't leave, Rae. You can do this."
"But I…" I start to say. Then I look at everyone's face, and I realize what's going though their brains, 'she's running…' "I won't run." I say and land. I guess I can go take the damn test later.
Beastboy pulls me in, giving me a huge hug, "I am so proud of you." He repeats and I push away, walking to the window. I look inside to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
Yup, there Daniel is…talking to the damn dragon. "Oh, hey Raven!" Dan smiles at me.
"Don't you dare smile at me! How dare you trick me! You fucking bastard, you are just as bad as my father!" I hold up my hand as if I'm scolding him, but he grabs my wrist and pulls me in close to him.
"I know." He blows into my ear, "but don't say that. I want to be a kind king. A gentle king that allows good to triumph. I don't want evil to take hold of the world, we would be in pure chaos if that happened. Good is perfect and we need it to survive." His arms are around my waist and I can feel something hard in my back. His strong arms hold me still.
"You know just as well as I that you are a demon, and demons are not good at heart. You know very well that evil is winning this battle at the moment!"
"Stop trying to play the angel, sweetheart. You are just as bad as me. You killed your own father, and you are also a demon."
"But I am human as well."
"Only half and you know that humans are born evil, their primate instinct is to be evil. It is the nonsense that brainwashes them into thinking that they can do good." Daniel whispers into my ear, licking it gently, taking his tongue and circling it around my earring.
"Get off me." I say in a muffled voice, trying to get away. But he continues to hold on. I can't create any type of force to help me…he is too strong, and his other hand is holding my mouth.
"No, I want to fuck you so much…I want to get stronger and stronger…you will submit to my every will, Raven, and you have no choice in the matter. You will bear my child, the way your mother bore you for me. Your child, however, will be what? Oh, that's right, three fourths demon. They will have even less control of their powers than you do." He continues to whisper, and I stop struggling. I can't defeat him, not on my own. I don't understand why my friends aren't coming to help me, surely I've been in here long enough for them to think something is wrong.
I scream at the top of my lungs, although muffled, I think it got out, "Beastboy, get your ass in here!"
As soon as the words leave my muffled lips, Beastboy is at the window, staring at us. I look at him, closing my eyes… "Azarath, Metrion Zynthos." I say to myself in my mind, and my mind is speaking to his.
"Beastboy…" I say.
"Raven? Is that you?" I hear his mind…we are in contact.
"He is a demon…be very careful. Get the others, go home, plan, and get back here quick. Don't attack now, you need a plan. I'll be fine." Beastboy is frozen.
"But I can't leave you."
"If you don't leave now, if you don't plan, you will be killed with the others. Dan will succeed in his plan as my father's successor and conquer good and take me as his queen. I am still a princess, Beastboy. I am the princess of evil, and no matter how much I try to ignore the fact, it is still there. He wants that, he wants to be king…he's already slept with me, I could be pregnant. Please, before he kills you all, go."
This is what Dan wants as well. He knows I'm contacting Beastboy, and he wants him to leave. He also wants the others to leave to he can fuck me. Oh gosh, what did I get myself into?
Beastboy turns and walks away, around the ledge and I hear a, "Let's go." Some more muffled noises, then they all leave. I am alone again, in this deserted building. The parents were fakes, just voices he created with his mind. Everything was a lie, and but now…it isn't, and I know what's next, and I really want to prevent it, but I am powerless.
Everything isn't hopeless; my life does have a meaning. It just isn't a very happy one, it is becoming a demon's queen and ruling the evil of this world.
