Authors' note: This is an author's note; it'll be longer than normal. Yes,
Raven is a vampire, but she is also a demon. I don't know much about Real
Vampires or the 'clans', I am basing this entirely on what I know, and what
I have decided.
In my eyes, as a demon, Raven is naturally attracted to blood and death; it is in the demons' nature. I am not doing this to be realistic, it's called fan FICTION, meaning fake. I made most of this up. If anyone of you has a problem with it not being 'traditional' or 'right', then that's your problem.
I am saying that while she is half-demon, she is also part vampire. I am saying, in my fic, her father was also a 'vampire demon' or a demon that needs blood to survive. The blood of others nurtures that species of demons' powers, allowing them to retain the demonic strength, and speed, etc. I only call it vampirism because it involves blood.
In my story, she is only ΒΌ human, and the rest is the 'vampire' demon, and her father's demon blood. I don't know what species of demon (hereafter referred to as 'youkai') her father is, but it is only natural that the youkai blood is more dominant in her than the human blood.
You can say that I watch too much anime, but that's what I believe. The youkai, in my eyes, is the superior race over humans. Thus, the youkai's superior blood will be more prominent. This allows for Ravens' powers, and extremely powerful telepathy. A normal human would be unable to support her powers, and a half-blood would have a far lower potential than she.
Remember, this is from my head, and if you disagree, write your own fan fiction. Because, quite frankly, I don't really care, as long as my plotline is not taken. Again, this is my fanifc, and my plot, and my ideas. I can do whatever I want with it, and I have already said this does not follow the story line of the animated series, nor the comics.
Sorry about this, but I thought I should clear things up a bit. The blood thing has to do with the 'vampire' youkai in her, which demands it. She still can eat normal food, and still needs it, but the youkai calls for blood, needs it in order to safely contain her powers. She became sickly because she needed the blood, it is essential to her survival, although she doesn't necessarily have to want it. It also, unfortunately, causes some unpleasant side effects, which could be seen in the second chapter.
Alright, I'm done boring you; I'll get on with the third chapter.
Chapter 3
*~*~*~*~*
Starfire was having a nice dream. She was enjoying it very much, until she fell out of her bed. Now awake, the alien struggled with the blankets she was tangled in. Growing slightly frantic in her sleep hazed mind, she thrashed more violently until the loud, unpleasant sound of ripping cloth filled the room. Standing, now free of her sheets, she looked down guiltily at the mass of torn sheets.
A blush colored her cheeks briefly, and, glancing around warily, she used her powers to destroy the 'evidence'. A moment later, she was gathering her normal clothes, and heading into the bathroom to use the 'indoors rain system', as she'd dubbed it. Getting an idea, a bright smile spread over her face. 'Later we can go to the maul of shopping to purchase some new bed coverings!'
With that, she stepped into the shower, already planning the trip, and what to prepare her comrades for the breaking of the fast this morning.
*~*~*~*~*~*
In the kitchen, the scent of frying tofu-eggs and waffles filled the air, wafting about the living room and dining rooms. The pleasant aroma was not lost on the shape shifting wonder, and he smiled proudly at the cooking food. 'I', he thought, 'am the best cook in the whole tower! No, make that the whole city-no, country!'
However, he quickly caught himself, and mentally retracted the statement. He wasn't, he just had practice. 'Well, I'm better at this than Star, at least.' He told himself consolingly, shoulders drooping slightly at how little an accomplishment this was.
Turning away from these thoughts, he deftly flipped a frying egg over, being careful not to break the yolk. He checked on the others, and, satisfied that he wasn't going to burn them anytime soon, bustled (Although he would NOT call it bustling) to the multiple waffle presses, opening one and taking the bread out.
He knew that Robin, and likely Raven were up already (Man, they're WEIRD!), so he wanted it to be ready when they came for it. Maybe he could make some tea, so that Raven wouldn't be in her usual grumpy mood. With this thought, of course, he 'conveniently forgot' his usual state of waking.
However, recalling the last time he'd tried to make her tea.Beast Boy shuddered slightly, the hairs on his arms and neck rising like those of a cat. So, definitely no pre-made tea for Raven this morning. He didn't want to end up stuck in the wall again.
Guiltily, he hoped that Star wouldn't want to 'cook' today. He didn't want to hurt her feelings-but MAN! She could NOT cook to save her life!! Ugh, especially the 'pudding of sorrow' and all that. Absolutely revolting. 'I'd rather eat the blue fuzzy food than eat what she makes!' This thought was accompanied by a nervous glance towards the fridge.
His worries were interrupted by Cyborg storming down the stairs. No, the mechanical warrior was NOT a morning person, and was not fully awake until he'd had three mugs of black coffee, and a hot shower. Quickly flipping an egg onto a plate, Beast Boy proceeded to begin making the coffee, as strong as possible without any beans in the water.
Moments after the coffee was made, Cyborg, dressed in his robe, stomped in, grumbling something about aliens. Wordlessly, knowing how much Cyborg hated morning people, he set a plate laden with food before the older teen, along with a cup of coffee.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Grunting his thanks, the mechanical man gulped down the bitter liquid, not noticing (or just ignoring) Beast Boy's cringe as he did so. When done, he set into the food wordlessly, soon done. Now refreshed and awake, and done with the pot of coffee, Cyborg was more awake, and in a *far* better mood.
Beast Boy was extremely glad for this, for merely seconds later, Starfire made her loud, cheerful way downstairs, singing some sort of 'cheerful morning' song. This gained a slightly amused look from Cyborg, and an incredulous expression on Beast Boys' face.
The teenage aliens' face fell slightly, seeing that the breaking of fast had been prepared already. However, her bright smile was soon back, as she practically sang, "Good morning, Cyborg! Good morning, Beast Boy! What a lovely morning it is today! I see you have prepared the breaking of the fast and spread it over the table already, Beast Boy!"
With the bright aura and infinitely cheerful smile still in place, she sat down. "Cyborg, can you please pass the juice and pulp of the squeezed orange and the grease-saturated, fried potatoes please?"
Looking slightly disturbed, yet still amused, he did so, saying, "Sure, but they're called Orange juice and Hash Browns, Star." He passed the aforementioned foods to her, and she began eating like a dog, or a pig or something.
Cringing a little, and looking away, Beast boy sat down to eat his own breakfast. They were soon joined by a slightly damp Robin, who wordlessly began wolfing the food down, telling Beast Boy offhandedly that the food was good.
This morning, amazingly, Cyborg and Beast Boy did not get into their usual tofu-meat argument, as the green boy had taken the liberty of preparing bacon and sausages for those who wanted it. He did, however, avert his eyes when it was being eaten, feeling slightly ill.
*~*~*~*~*~*
About ten minutes after the leaders' arrival, Raven made her way in. This consisted of 'appearing' in a chair, and calmly reaching for the waffles. This event was not unusual, and so the other four teens ignored it, Star greeting Raven as per the norm. Ravens reply, of course, was a, "Hn. Hello."
From there, the conversation dwindled to, "Pass the..." and, "This, amazingly enough, doesn't taste like it was ran over by a truck and infested by maggots." (Raven, of course). From there, the argument over the dishes was solved by Raven. She made the dishes wash themselves, and went to her room, presumably to meditate.
The others, slightly startled, slowly dispersed to do whatever they wanted. Cyborg and Beast Boy got out of going shopping by saying they had to 'train'. Robin wormed his way out of it, saying he'd 'almost figured out who Slade was.' Raven was out of the room before the distraught alien could ask.
So, naturally, Starfire went to Raven's room to ask her.
"Raven?" She called, knocking softly on the closed door. A moment later, she heard Ravens' reply of 'what?' "I wish to speak with you, Raven."
Sighing, Raven got up, and went over, opening her door. "Yes, Starfire? What do you want?" She was slightly exasperated; could she not be left in peace?
Starfire smiled hopefully, saying, "Raven, I wish to do the hanging out together at the maul of shopping today. Would you please accompany me? I must also purchase new bed clothes. I am sure you need new clothing as well, please come with me!" This little speech was accompanied by a hopeful, 'puppy-dog eyes' look.
Feeling vaguely disgusted, Raven agreed, and shut the door in the ecstatic girls' face, claiming to need to 'get ready'. Oh, boy. A day shopping with an overexcited alien girl. She needed to meditate, and take some Advil.
*~*~*~*~*
Ok, for now, that's it. I decided that's as good a place as any to end it. Not a cliffhanger, but I don't need one. Again, thank everyone for the reviews!!! I love getting feedback! I hope I'm updating often enough. I hope I keep updating like this. Oh, I think I got Cyborg and Starfire off, but that's how I see them. I don't really know enough about Cyborg and Starfire to make them too realistic. So.yeah. That's it for now; I think this one's shorter than the last one.Dang.
Oh! Sorry about the mix up, I've fixed it, but it might take a while to show up. I only just noticed it this morning.
Neh, by the way, thanks for the great reviews, everyone! Also, I know this chapter wasn't really very relevant, but, hey, I figured it shouldn't revolve only around Raven and Robin, am I right? I apologise about the insanely long authors' note above, and I wont be doing it again. I will not make an excuse for it, however. That's all for now!
