Chapter 11

Alone in the dark

Raven slowly began to stir and opened her eyes. She was in a hospital. This isn't the tower she thought as she slowly managed to sit up.

"Robin?" she called out as she looked around her, there was no answer only silence and darkness. She looked around her new surroundings, this place felt strangely familiar and yet was foreign to her.

"Where am I?" she asked herself as she clutched her stomach and her head.

"Your with us" a meek voice said from the darkness. Raven recognised the voice almost instantly.

"Timid…Timid is that you?" Raven asked as she slowly got out of the bed and looked at the darkness ahead of her. Timid then appeared, wearing her usual grey cloak, and nodded at her but she refused to move any closer to Raven.

"What's wrong Timid?" asked raven as she approached her emotion, who cowered at her.

"I'm all alone" Timid whispered quietly as she put up her hood and tried to hide from Raven.

"Where are the others, where are our sisters?" Raven asked as she placed her hands on either of Timid's shoulders and smiled at the trembling girl.

"They're gone" Timid replied meekly, her voice was barely above a whisper, "I'm the only one left"

"What?" gasped raven as she looked down at Timid and saw that she was crying.

"He destroyed them, he destroyed them all" Timid wept as se dropped to her knees and buried her face in her hands.

"Trigon escaped!" exclaimed Raven as she knelt down beside Timid and tried to comfort her.

"No he was much worse than father. He appeared out of nowhere and attacked us. Brave tried to fight it but she was destroyed, Hate was the next one to die and then father tried to fight it but it was too powerful for him…father was destroyed. That's when we ran and hid but it found the others and now it's looking for me" wept Timid as she threw herself against Raven and held her cloak tight, "Please don't let it get me too"

"I won't, I'll protect you" Raven whispered as she stroked her remaining sisters hair, "Timid listen who did this to our sisters?"

"I did" hissed an evil voice from the darkness.

"No!" gaped Raven as a black hooded figure steeped forth from the shadows, making Timid hide inside raven's cloak.

"Hello little Raven did you miss me?" laughed the figure as it approached the terrified Raven and Timid.

"Genesis tell me what is 'this evil'?" asked Robin as he pulled up a chair next to Raven and held her hand.

"It is the first evil, the evil than gave birth to all evil. We gods fear it because we created it" sighed Genesis as she floated beside Robin and looked at the floor.

"You created it?" exclaimed Robin as he looked at Genesis, confusion was present in his eyes.

"Well not exactly…It began whenever my father, the being you call God, created all life everywhere. Unfortunately a side affect of this life was the creation of 'the evil', life created this evil and now it wants to destroy all life" replied Genesis as she tried not to cry at the thought.

"But why does it want to, doesn't it need life to survive?" asked Robin as he continued to watch Genesis.

"It doesn't care about it's own existence, it is evil remember. This thing has destroyed countless universes in it's quest and now it has come to destroy this one" Genesis replied, her voice started to tremble slightly.

"Why doesn't God stop it then?" asked Robin as he held Raven's hand even tighter and looked up at Genesis.

"He's dead, 'the evil' killed him along with my brother and sisters eons ago" sighed Genesis, tears poured down her slender face, "Me and brother are all that's left"

"Your brother?" asked Robin, confusion once again was present in his eyes.

"The elder god is my brother, Chaos the god in charge of death" replied Genesis as she smiled at the thought of him.

"He's your brother…..wow I don't see the resemblance" remarked Robin as he tried to picture it in his head.

"The form you saw wasn't his true form, remember we gods don't have true bodies" smiled Genesis as she looked at Robin and giggled slightly, "We're the only ones left, all alone against the dark"

"You'll never be alone against this thing. I'll find a way to beat it" smiled Robin as he took Genesis's hand and smiled at her. Genesis blushed slightly and smiled back before she returned to watching Raven.

"How did you get in here?" demanded Raven as she tried to protect Timid.

"There is nowhere I cannot go little mortal" hissed the figure as it stopped approaching them, "Oh and I believe this is yours" it hissed as it tossed a pink cloaked version of Raven at Raven and Timid.

"Happy?" Raven gasped as she dropped to knees beside her fallen sister.

"Hey sis how have you been?" smiled Happy as she smiled up at Raven and winked.

"I'm fine how about you?" Raven asked as she returned the smile.

"Have a slight headache but other than that…" Happy replied but was cut short as she winced in pain and held her ribs.

"Hush now you need to save your strength" Raven whispered as she stroked her sisters face. Timid knelt down beside them and held Happy's hand and looked up at her wounded sister, tears in her eyes.

"Cheer up it's not like I'm going to die" smiled Happy as she held Timid's hand tight and looked up at Raven, bringing her down closer to her face, "Take Timid out of here please I don't her to see me go" she whispered into Raven's ear, making her cry.

"You'll be ok, you can't leave me I need you" she said with panic in her voice as she looked her sister. She then noticed something she didn't think was possible, she saw a sadness present in Happy's eyes.

"Go now" yelled Happy as she flipped up and leapt at the figure taking it by surprise. Raven tried to make her stop but Happy wouldn't allow it, she just smiled as she knocked the figure off of it's feet.

"Timid run now!" Raven yelled as she picked up Timid and ran into the darkness. She kept running until she heard a scream and stopped dead in her tracks, "Timid….Timid where are you?" she whispered into the darkness as she looked about for her sister. Her heart was beating furiously in her chest she felt like it was going to explode.

"I'm sorry that emotion can no longer be reached please try again" laughed a voice from the darkness all around her.

"No Timid!" screamed Raven, fear in her eyes and panic in her voice. She continued to scream until her throat was sore and her voice hoarse but Timid never replied.

"No I failed her" choked Raven as she fell to the floor and cried, "I failed them all"

"Your all alone in the dark, no one can save you. Not even your father was able to stop me" hissed the voice as the darkness grew darker and darker, "Not even Robin can save you now"

"Leave me alone" whimpered Raven as she buried herself in her cloak.

"Don't fight it Raven, let the darkness take away your pain and loneliness" hissed the voice as the darkness closed in around her.

"I am alone" whispered Raven as she realised she couldn't stop the darkness, her hope disappeared in the dark, she felt all alone in the dark.

"You are now mine" hissed the voice in triumph as Raven disappeared into the darkness.

"Genesis what is happening?" yelled Robin as Raven started to have trouble breathing, her hand felt even colder.

"It's 'the evil' it's beating her, she is falling into the darkness" replied Genesis as she placed her hand on Raven's forehead and closed her eyes.

"No I will not loose her to this!" screamed Robin as he held Raven hand close to his heart, "Raven if you can hear me I haven't given up yet and I don't want you to either" he whispered to her as fear crept into his voice.

"Raven please don't give up, come back to the light your stronger than 'this evil', fight it" said Genesis as Raven body started to go pale, her breathing was slight and so was her heart beat.

"Come back to me Raven" Robin whispered as tears dropped onto Raven's face. The heart monitor then stopped beeping and there was only a long singular tone that filled the room.
