CHAPTER 6
Truths Told

Raven groaned, Oh crap. She pushed up the top half of her body, she was surrounded by her friends, Might as well be called ex-friends, after what I did. This sucks so much.
"Why is your-" B.B. began, but Raven gave him a harsh look. She stood, she was weak but not seriously hurt. She began to walk into the forest. "Man, what is her beef?" asked Beast Boy, "Well she did get whatever that was sucked out, B.B." Cyborg said.
Robin looked gloomy, "Might as well go home, Raven might be heading there."

Sure it was a hell of a lot longer to walk all the way home, but it beats riding in the car. It was kind of peaceful and the afternoon breeze was slightly relaxing.
She walked through the city streets, pushing past people. She wore a straight, emotionless face. They're going to ask about why I freaked out and why I'm wearing a white robe now and why Aquilus was hunting me down. What am I going to say? There's no quick and easy answer. Raven bought an ice cream cone and sat down on a nearby bench, still in deep thought. She still sat there, even after finishing her ice cream. Raven saw a clock through the window of a small shop, it was about 3o'clock, Might as well go home now, I can't avoid them forever.

The titans were sitting around the couch when Raven walked in. She walked right past them. "Raven we want to talk," Robin said catching up to her, he placed a hand on her shoulder. An excited feeling ran through her body, but she was about to tell him to screw off anyway, He really does want to talk...I'm going to hate myself for this but... Raven turned away from him and sat on the couch, her head bowed staring at her shoes.
"Okay, what was that red misty junk?" asked Beast Boy waving his arms around, "My demon heritage." Raven replied quickly. Starfire was standing behind the couch, her arms crossed and resting on the back of couch, her chin resting on her arms, "Demon heritage?" she asked meekly. Raven sighed slightly annoyed"Yes Starfire, demon heritage. As you all know Trigon is my father, he's a demon, so that made me a half demon."
"Okay-doky then," said Cyborg, "Why did Aquilus want your demon thing?"

Raven sighed, This isn't going anywhere, they are still in the dark and totally confused. "The more you ask questions the more confused you will get, unless you know my past." The titans all turned towards Raven, interested. They never heard of Raven's past, all they knew is that she came from a place called Azarath. "Please don't interrupt me until I am finished, trust me I wouldn't be telling you this if I didn't think it was necessary," B.B., Robin, Cyborg and Starfire all nodded.

"Okay it all started about 15 years ago. My mother, Arella was into the super natural... she offered herself up as the bride of Satan." Starfire gasped, Raven turned to her and gave her a silencing look. "Arella allowed herself to be taken by the man who appeared during the ritual, only after she learned dear old dad was a demon. She was horrified about the demon child she carried, me. She was about to commit suicide when she was found. She was taken to Azarath.

"So I was raised by Azar and her followers. They taught me pacifism, taught to control my demon heritage. I also learned how to heal by absorbing others' pain, and I learned to project my soul out of my body for short periods of time. I learned to suppress any emotions, because any strong feelings could awaken the evil within me." Raven looked around the surprised faces and continued, "Azar had other pupils, and some weren't as happy being half and half. Aquilus was their leader. Since my father was the great Trigon, I was the victim chosen to sacrifice so they could gain full demon powers.
"I learnt of their plans, and I was ready for them that night. I killed them, brutally. All except Aquilus, that one got away." Starfire made a strangled gasp sound, Raven looked up and wasn't surprised, I knew I shouldn't have told them, they'll cast me out, hated forever. "I escaped that night also, to earth. I ran like a coward, I hoped I would never have to kill again, or even meet Aquilus again." Raven looked around; all titans were staring at her with wide eyes and mouths half open. Raven started to get up, "Wait," called Robin, "in the forest, what strong emotion did you feel," Raven paused before she answered "Aquilus used her powers as an empathy to make me feel jealously, hatred and pain," Raven replied not turning around to look at them; Okay, it wasn't a total lie. Raven walked out of the room, into the hallway and slammed her bed room door shut.

I'll have the next chapter up soon! (btw thanks for all the good reviews ::huggles::)
