Chapter 55 Mild wrath
After the intense moment they shared, Finn really thought that things were going to develop between himself and Raven, but no, she had blocked herself off to him, it made him realise that the only reason he could get into her head so easily was because she allowed it. He tried talking to her but she just cut him out so savagely she might as well as taken his heart with him.
Raven wanted to change things, she knew how confused he was, but if she wanted everyone to win then she had to stick to the stones. As always her Hunters, in this case Storm, came first. For the first time in her life she actually felt bad for causing him pain. She always had that intense kiss to replay in her head, so many things chorused through her body with that one action she had no idea how to process it all. It also didn't help that Storm was constantly asking what the situation was now, did she have to start being nice to Devitt now? Storm was assured that as always she had free will. If she wanted to hate Devitt then that was fine, but Raven was refusing to say anymore than that. Storm eventually gave up and decided it was best to go and see Aj, at least she wouldn't be at risk of getting a Megid thrown her way. Megid was the strongest of all fire techniques, it used alot of inner strength but Raven had learnt to use it without using all of her power, it also meant that if Storm was hit with it, she had a very real chance of not waking up. Deep down she hoped that Raven would give Devitt a few Megid rounds for being mean to her, that would be fun to see. While Storm was seeing Aj, Raven decided to pay Hunter a visit, he had been so nice to them she figured he deserved a thank you. He was in his office when Raven strolled in, her eyes lighting up when she spied the chess board.
"Hunter, you never told me you had chess on this planet"
"You know how to play?" Hunter watched as she touched the peices, her silver orbs lighting up as she finally reconized something on the planet.
"Sometimes between hunting and sleeping, chess was the only way to avoid the boredem. Would you like a game Hunter?"
"What does that mean exactly Raven?"
"I thought that was pretty self expainatory Hunter"
"Usually it would be, but given what I've seen and heard from your planet, playing a game could mean that when I lose I could lose a body part"
"I hate to burst your bubble Hunter but there isn't a part of your body that I want"
"You actually gamble with body parts?"
"You don't?" Raven asked not believing the Hu-mans had ruined yet another of her customs. Hunter was spared an answer because Steph came in needing her husbands attention.
"Steph do you play chess?"
"I do but I'm a little busy"
"Do you know anyone that does know how to play chess?" Raven asked hoping that the answer wouldn't be Devitt, of course he knew how to play, Raven just hoped that there was another answer.
"I believe John knows how to play"
"That doesn't help because I don't know who that is"
"John Cena, he should be in the males locker room"
"I shall ask for him then I will fuck him"
Stephanie grabbed her arm in panic, hoping that Raven had just gotten the wrong words, "You're doing what now?"
"I'm going to fuck him, you know beat him at chess"
Steph let out a relieved sigh, "That's not what that means"
"Oh" Raven really thought she was getting the lingo down, but sadly their numerous phrases were getting the better of her, well at least according to the stones, she had almost a whole Hunter's lifetime to pick them up.
"Which phrase was I looking for Steph?"
"Kick his ass"
"Yes! That! What was the other thing?"
"You said you wanted to have sex with him"
Raven felt the dirt eke over her skin at the thought of Hu-man sex, "I have seen the Hu-man mating rituals and I don't much care for it" She let out a shudder as the haunting memory came back, "What the hell is wrong with Hu-mans?"
"Go play chess Rae, we have to do some work"
Raven took the board and peices to the males locker room where she would find the one known as John Cena. She was more than ready to play chess and try to act like a normal Hu-man. When she entered the room she realised why Storm loved it so much. Almost all of the men were in a state of undress, some of them had towels around their waists, alot of them looked like Devitt with no shirt on, an array of chiseled muscle. Only alot of them had hairs on their chests, which of course made her wonder why Devitt didn't.
"Hi, I'm looking for the one called John Cena" Raven looked around at the men, her silver orbs landing on Braun Strowman, "Wow! You look like you could be some fun" She eyed his giant frame up and down, thinking of how good he would be at hand to hand combat. Raven was always looking for a new challenge, it was starting to get old slapping Devitt around.
They think you want to have sex with him Raven
Arrrrgh! Why is this stupid planet obsessed with mating Devitt?
They have to do something to pass the time Raven
Raven didn't answer, she was too busy looking at Braun Strowman and waiting for this John Cena to show up. When he finally answered her call, Raven blanched at him,
"Wow you are ugly! I've seen some ugly Hu-mans but this is just...wow"
"Just because you know Hunter doesn't mean you can walk into a room and be rude" Braun growled at her earning her amused attention.
"What does knowing Hunter have to do with his uglyness?"
"Do you want a game or not?" John asked, he was used to people's insults, the new girl wasn't going to upset him. Raven blanched again when looking at him.
"Ahhh! Sorry, I can't look directly at you, I mean I've seen ugly but this is whole new level"
John found this funny for some reason, but still he set up the game, Raven took a seat opposite him vowing to keep an eye on her peices only. John pushed a white peice forward and the game was on. Sadly for Raven it didn't last long, she could easily see through his strategy and easily she pushed her queen into position.
"Checkmate"
John looked at the board, no one had ever come close to beating him at chess, he found he was liking the challenge. "Another?"
"Sure" Raven set up the peices, un-aware that almost everyone in the room was now watching their game. His strategy was different this time, still she saw through it as clear as day, Raven pushed her bishop forward in victory.
"Checkmate"
After their fourth game John was starting to get rattled, Raven however was starting to get bored, right now she would gladly take slapping Devitt around, at least that was a challenge.
"And checkmate" Raven said pushing her rook into the final position. In his fury he swept an arm across the table sending the peices every which way.
"Is that how you end games on this planet? Cause I like it" If that was the only thing she had to do to end this boredem she would've done it after the second game. John snapped at her
"I demand another game!"
"How can we play when you swept the peices all over the floor?"
"Pick them up!" Jogn snarled at her, he wasn't used to losing at his favourite game, it didn't help that everyone was staring at them, watching and waiting for him to be beat by a girl who they were pretty sure was an alien, or not that bright.
"I ain't your slave you jerk"
John wasn't used to losing and Raven wasn't used to being ordered around. She glared at him before turning on her heel and walking away, if she stayed for a moment longer, she would've ripped his throat out and eaten him. Afterall that was what she used to gamble for back on Dezolis, the loser would be eaten. It was an easy way to earn a meal after hunting all day.
Raven met up with Storm at the coffee table, while Raven was being yelled at for being so good at chess, Storm was with Aj learning all about wrestling. She found the subject quite fascinating and she longed to try it but Aj said it was best to stay away from the ring until she could learn the basics. Storm was explaining to Raven the different holds she had asked about when Nikki Bella came striding up to them. That evil glint in her eyes, her delicate hand pulling Raven's shoulder until they were face to face.
"Well that was just rude" Raven remarked pulling herself away from her, her other hand held up to Storm, she required no assistance.
"What the hell is your problem?" Nikki demanded, she had heard what had happened with her boyfriend and she didn't like the idea of a strange woman hanging around her boyfriend, his reputation around women wasn't the best and Nikki had her own plans concerning John Cena.
"Where do I start?" Raven rolled her eyes, she wasn't aware that Nikki was mad at her. "The lingo is all messed up, I can't find a sandworm to save myself, there's no mead and don't even get me started on the Hu-man mating ritual that everyone seems obsessed with"
"Huh" Storm was too busy staring at Nikki's well defined breasts, she found that they looked like normal Hu-man breasts, but she detected something different with these ones.
"What is it Storm?"
"They're fake" Storm was still looking at them, tipping her head every which way trying to figure out why Nikki had breasts that were fake. Her ivory hand reached out and cupped them making Nikki slap her hand away and jump back.
"Stay away from my boyfriend" She pointed at Raven before looking at Storm, "And stay the hell away from me you lezbo"
"I don't know what that is!" Storm called out after her making Nikki stop.
"You know Nikki I don't know who your boyfriend is so how can I stay away from him?" Raven asked, to her it was a fair question but it just made Nikki madder.
"My boyfriend is John Cena and if you don't stay away from him, I'll make you stay away from him" Nikki gave her a slight shove, it did nothing and Raven didn't even move a step, all it really did was piss Raven off.
"If you touch me again you're gonna regret it"
Nikki pushed her again, the victorious grin didn't last very long. Raven pounced on her punching her in the face a couple of times, the only reason Nikki didn't go flying was because Raven had a firm fist wrapped around her neck. Raven rolled her onto her front, wrapping her legs around Nikki's throat and twisting her arms up in an odd arm bar of sorts, Nikki quickly turned a shade of blue. People came running from everywhere, trying to prise Raven off Nikki who was quickly reaching Death's doorstep.
Let her go Raven
Devitt didn't expect her to listen but instantly she let Nikki go, right before she reached a flatline, Nikki gasped in air, her bones still feeling the weight of Raven's small body. Raven stood up calmly and merely looked at Nikki's fallen body,
"I don't like to be touched"
I'll keep that in mind Raven
You're an exception to the rule Devitt. For now.
