Chapter 28

When she woke up she was in a small apartment, she could smell herbal tea.

It was a refreshing and inviting scent.

"I see you are awake mija," Esmeralda said.

"Yes," she said a little confused.

"You are confused correct."

Raven nodded.

"You don't need to be, I can answer any question for you."

Raven was relieved to hear that, she had gone so long being confused. She had a lot of questions to ask the woman. It would be a long day for the two females.

Raven decided to ask her first question.

"How am I still alive?"

Esmeralda smiled; it was going to be one long explanation.

Slade was beyond angry. It seemed like he never won against those young adults.

He had finally lost Raven for good. And why because of those annoying twits.

He was beyond angry at the moment. He believed that if he couldn't have her.

"Then no one can," he said grabbing his suit and mask.

He was off to make a kill, and this time she would stay dead.

…..

Esmeralda's story made Ravens head spin.

She knew she had died but didn't understand why she was still alive. Apparently the church of blood helped out with that predicament.

Things seemed so unreal for her. Everything was just so crazy and now she was in more trouble than she ever needed to be.

After the explanation she healed Esmeralda's child and they disappeared to be safe from slade.

She knew she wasn't Safe from Slade.

(One month later)

…..

Beastboy couldn't find her, it had been another month and she was nowhere to be seen.

Had slade already gotten his hands on her?

Was she still alive?

Was she hurt somewhere?

Was she locked up?

Or in the end is she just hiding from her problems like always?

Beastboy was taking this really hard. He asked himself why Raven never seemed to have any faith in them.

He certainly had faith in her. Still it was starting to disappear.

He was starting to believe she would never return. A whole month without knowing what had happened to his lovely bird drove him to believe that she was gone.

Gone for good.

Slade wasn't happy about this one bit.

He could not find her to save his own life. She had vanished.

It had been a month and she was nowhere to be found.

He tried so many methods.

He searched for her, he had people track her down and he even tried to ask Esmeralda but she was gone as well.

What could have possibly had happened to the dark bird was beyond him.

Maybe the titans where hiding her?

He had ideas of what else to do but he was getting tired of searching for her.

Once he found her he would wrap his strong hands around her neck and take the breath away from her.

He was going to kill her, it was a promise.

Slade always kept his promises. He was a man of his word.

He pouched a hole in his wall.

"Master Wilson," wintergreen said entering. "I have brought you your tea."

Slade took it without a word.

He drank it. It was herbal tea. Somehow the tea angered him and he threw it across the room.

Wintergreen made a hasty exit. An angry slade was a dangerous one.

It had been a month. She had been running from her problems for a month.

She felt ashamed to be one to runaway when things go hard, but she had no choice. Slade was a very powerful man. He was also extremely clever and conniving; if he found her she was dead.

To be honest, slade wasn't the only one she was hiding from. She was also hiding from Beastboy. Why? Because she didn't know how he would react. She had chosen Slade so many times; she probably lost her chance with him. She wouldn't doubt him giving up on her.

She sat in a nice café in the city next to jump. She had tried to alter her looks.

She wore a brunette wig and wore light brown contacts. She looked quite normal. Beautiful yet normal no abnormally colored eyes to give her away.

She sat drinking her favorite tea. It had been a long day for her and she just wanted it to end.

The tea relaxed her.

She took another sip of the tasty tea.

She heard the bell of the door ring.

A young man walked in, he had white hair, a handsome face, and an eye patch.

'No,' she thought. 'He found me.'

Right now he was Mr. Wilson and he just got out of a meeting for an investment in a new type of technology. A tech that he was gonna steal later instead.

He was in a city about four hours outside of jump. He needed to drive back home but felt like some coffee.

He found a small little café on his way home so he decided to stop there.

The place was kind of empty only one person was there.

He sat next to her. He could smell her herbal tea.

The woman didn't even look up at him.

She looked quite young, sixteen perhaps. She brown hair and eyes. Her hair was styled to where it was covering her forehead and she wore dark clothes. Overall she was quite beautiful.

He was quite lonely so he decided to turn on the charm.

"Hello," he said in his smooth voice.

…..

He didn't realize that she was Raven, good, but he was still talking to her.

She was paralyzed by his simple "Hello" but she had to suck it up.

"Hello," she said altering her voice.

"My name is Wilson," he said putting out his hand. "My I acquire your name madam."

She shook his hand.

"My name is Angela," she said using her mother's real name.

"Well Angela," he said. "You are quite beautiful."

She blushed at his remark.

"Thank you Slade," she said.

She quickly realized her mistake but not quickly enough.

He had her pinned down to the floor.

"I do not recall telling you my first name," he said clutching her neck.

He was suffocating her.

"I see now, Angela Rot was your mother's name wasn't it darling," he said making his grip stronger.

He tore off her wig and removed her contacts swiftly.

"You can't hide from me Raven."
