Chapter 9

Raven's encounter with evil

Raven finished getting dressed and walked over to her mirror and started to brush her hair. She couldn't seem to get that voice out of her head , she eventually blamed it on her father's presence inside her mind trying to break out again, something he had been trying a lot of recently, but something still troubled her about the whole situation, this thing felt different from her father if possible it felt more evil. She finally finished brushing her hair and left her room taking a moment to enjoy the silence of the tower before the others woke up. Now this is perfection she thought as she looked up and found herself standing outside the room that belonged to Onyx. She opened the door slowly and looked in with a heavy heart.

"And I thought Beast Boy was bad" she smiled as she looked at all the clothes and empty pizza boxes that were lying all over the place. She then noticed a picture hanging on the wall and walked over to it.

"When was this taken?" she asked as she looked at the picture. It was a picture of her sleeping on the couch with the other Titan's, it had a message on the bottom of it, it read My family. She smiled as she put it back on the wall and walked back to the door.

"Come home soon" she said softly as she wiped away a stray tear and closed the door and started to walk towards the living area/kitchen.

"He won't come back Raven he doesn't care about you anymore" hissed a voice from the shadows behind her.

"Leave me alone Trigon, I won't believe your lies anymore" Raven replied as she turned to face the shadows the voice came from.

"I'm not your weakling of a father little girl" hissed the voice as a robed figure appeared in front of her, it's hood covering it's face.

"Who are you?" asked Raven as a sudden rush of terror swept over her body.

"Please Raven, daughter of the demon lord Trigon, have you forgotten about our little talk earlier?" replied the figure, it's voice was filled with evil.

"How do you me?" asked Raven as she looked on at horror at this hooded figure. She wanted to run and scream for help but her fear stopped her.

"I have been watching you my dear and I have a proposition for you" hissed the figure as it walked up to Raven and looked down at her.

"What kind of proposition?" asked Raven as she watched the figure walk around her.

"I could completely remove your father's presence from you. You wouldn't have to worry about him breaking free and you wouldn't need that ring of yours" hissed the voice as it pointed down art the ring on Raven's right hand.

"You could that?" gasped Raven as she felt the ring that helped her suppress her father's presence in her mind.

"Of course I could but you would have to something for me in return" hissed the figure as it once again stood in front of her.

"Like what?" asked Raven as she continued to play about with the ring on her finger.

"Simple my dear just don't fight against me in one year and your wish shall come true" hissed the figure in reply, "It's not like you can win against me"

"Your 'the evil' Robin spoke of" gasped Raven as she finally realised what she was facing and talking to.

"I might be but let me ask you something what is evil?" hissed the voice as it continued to look at Raven, "Now what is your answer?"

"No I don't to anything to do with you" Raven spat back as her eyes started to glow black, channelling her energy to her hands.

"Very well my dear but you'll be sorry for saying that" hissed the voice as it lunged at Raven and revealed it's claws..

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos" Raven quickly chanted as she sent a beam of black energy from her hands at the figure, hitting it directly in the chest. The figure however managed to slash Raven across her stomach before the beam hit it, leaving a deep gash across it.

"If you manage to survive that little scratch then I'll see you in year" laughed the figure before it's body completely disappeared.

"I'll be waiting" panted Raven as she collapsed to her knees holding her badly bleeding stomach. She didn't believe her eyes because all she could see was a great darkness forming all around her, she tried to stand but she found her strength was leaving her, she tried to scream but her mouth was full of blood. She then fell into the darkness and lay on the floor hardly breathing. The last she heard before she completely blacked out was Beast Boy yelling for help.

"So let me get this straight you're the savour of all life?" asked Onyx as he and Robin walked through the city towards Titan's Tower, "And you have to protect us from an evil that is coming to destroy all life in existence?"

"That's one way of saying it" replied Robin as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked up at the sun.

"Wow, talk about having responsibility" gasped Onyx as he looked over to Robin, who just smiled back at him sheepishly. The two continued to walk and talk until they found themselves standing outside Titan's Tower.

"You ready for this?" asked Robin as he looked over at Onyx.

"I think I am" replied Onyx as he took a deep breath.

"You'll be ok" smiled Robin as he put his hand on Onyx's shoulder to reassure him.

"Well I guess it's now or never" gulped Onyx as he opened the door and entered the tower.

"Hey amigos I'm back" he yelled as he walked into the living area and smiled at Beast Boy who was standing there looking out of the window.

"Yo BB I'm totally back where is everyone?" asked Onyx as Beast Boy turned and faced them, Robin could tell he had been crying.

"Where's Raven?" asked Robin, fear crept into his voice as he frantically looked around him for any sign of her.

"Yeah where's Goth Girl?" smiled Onyx as he walked up to Beast Boy.

"I don't know how to say this" sighed Beast Boy as he looked over at Robin, making Robin's heart stop beating, "Raven's…….."

A small chapter I know and I'm sorry for that but I found that I couldn't think of anything else to write about (I really suck at writing stuff) anyway talk about a cliff-hanger. Is Raven ok or is she dead? I don't know cause I haven't written the next chapter. I hope you all enjoyed that chapter and remember to review it and feel free to give me any suggestions on how I could improve. So until chapter 10 buh-bye people.
