Twisted Nerves.
It had fell good just to let go. All her pain. All her angst. All gone as her inner demons flowed out on to the unexpected crowd, tearing them to pieces. She felt her lips covering into a smile as she watched them die. Well what had they expected from a demon? A feeling of happiness drifted from within her. She had never known how funny it was to watch people die. To watch their last breath being taken away. To know that they died because of you. Raven had a blood lust. She knew that now.
Collins crawled out from the wreckage. His face covered with blood.
"You little bitch what have you done?" he demanded.
The girl grinned sweetly. "But I thought you wanted me to unleash my demons,"
"Not like this!" the man growled. "You were suppose to awaken the Lord,"
Raven snapped back into control. She approached the man, pulling her hood high over her face. "I don't like being told what to do," her voice was dry. "This is my curse, I was born with it alone. I won't share it with the rest of the world,"
"I don't understand," Collins stammered glazing around the room as one by one the dark creatures faded away, leaving nothing but the bodies.
"Instead of channelling my energy into the one form that my father needed, I spread in out," with one hand she illustrated the carnage before them. Collins dropped to his knees, taking his head in his hands, he moaned softly. "No, no, no, no, no, it wasn't suppose to happen this way!"
The girl moved closer to him. If she could feel she might have been sympathetic. But then again, probably not. The lust was still there. It's over now. Her mind whispered. Calm down. She could feel the desire fading away, but then she also knew that part of it would never go. It would always be there. Waiting. Lingering for the chance to take hold of her once more. She hoped this had been worth it.
"I want answers from you. And if you don't tell me what I want to know …" Her eyes turned red as she came up close to his frightened face. "…I'll let out the real big bad!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several moments later and Raven was sure as hell, seeing red. Her demonic yearning overwhelmed her, as she allowed her powers to take the temple apart, as well as the building above it, until nothing was left but crumbled debris. Her screams wail off into the night. This was low even for Slade. How could he? How could anyone? …Clone me?!!! The words triggered a dangerous reaction. She wanted him dead. More then she had wanted anything before in her life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scarlet had been lying on her bed for some time now, twisting her red curl around her fingertips playfully. Not that anyone would have noticed. They all assumed that Raven was meditating, when in actual fact, Scarlet was contemplating telling them the truth. Would they accept her for who she was? Or would they be furious at her for what she had done to their friend? Would they turn her away? She couldn't stand it if they did. For once in her life she felt wanted. Yet there was a voice deep within her that remaindered her that they only wanted her because they thought she was someone else.
The girl let out a long sigh as she sat up straight. 'I don't want to be Raven anymore,' she whispered. 'I want to be me,' She squirmed into a tight ball, hugging her knees. 'No. you can't. Scarlet doesn't exist anymore,' Where was all this grief coming from? A lump caught in her throat. Besides what'd the point of having friends when all they do is ignore you?
Meanwhile in the Titans den the day was carrying on like any other, Scarlet discovered as she entered the room. 'It's not fair' she told herself. 'How come they can have fun and I can't!' She threw the back of Terra's head a hateful glare. She really didn't like that girl. Why couldn't she have been a clone of Terra? Then it would be her with Beast Boys' arms around. Or better yet Robin. It would be her laughing, joking, flirting. Having a good time. Not alone in the dark doing nothing.
"Hey Rae!" Terra cheered as she saw her. "Me and BB are gonna go to the park, wanna come?"
"Eh I think Raven's got stuff planned. Right Rae!" Beast Boy winked at her.
Scarlet clenched her fists. He was also getting on her nerves. More then anything she wanted to wipe that smirk of his face. "Whatever," her ice cold tone drifted into the air.
"You sure?" Terra didn't looked surprised. "I mean you'd be the only one here. Everyone else went out ages ago,"
'And of course no one thought to tell me,' Scarlet thought sulkily, as she flopped onto the sofa. 'Is this how the treat Raven?' she wondered. 'No wonder the girls always angry at them. I totally misjudged her. They keep pushing her away,"
"Bye," The pair ran off arm in arm, whispering and giggling with one another, leaving her alone. Always alone. Scarlet looked down at the floor miserably. What was the point of pretending anymore. Raven's father had been right. They were not her friends.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That evening everything changed. Initially Scarlet had intended to tell them the truth over dinner - left over pizza - did they eat anything else? But she had a rapid change of heart, not to mention mind.
As usual the male Titans were seeing who could eat the most in the least amount of time, while Terra and Starfire weren't present, and Scarlet didn't want to wait for them. She wanted this off her chest now. Besides they were probably in Stars rooms, playing with each other's hair.
Scarlet cleared her throat. "Guys…em.. I have something that I have to…no I need to tell you,"
"I win. I win I win!!! Go Beast Boy!" he leapt on the table cheering loudly.
"Yeah by turning into a cow! You had four stomachs," pointed out Cyborg.
"I want a rematch!" shouted Robin.
"Em…guys?" Scarlet folded her arms. "I want to talk to you,"
"In a sec kay?" Beast Boy pulled out another pizza box. "Ready, Steady GO!" Immediately the three boys began shoving pizza into their mouths. Scarlet stood up and left the table. She would have to tell them later. Sinking into the couch Scarlet turned her attention to the thick black book sat on the coffee table. Raven's Edgar Allen Poe poetry collection book. She had been reading it, and had gotten into some of the poems. Flicking through the pages she began studying them once more, but was interrupted a few seconds later.
"Guys great news!" Terra screamed as she bounced into the room, followed by Starfire, who was equally as happy.
"What?" The boys stopped, mouths full of cold pizza.
"First of all, gross! Second of all, great news! We just got tickets to the dance tomorrow night!" Terra leapt into the air. "It's going to be so much fun!"
Starfire nodded with joy. "Yes tomorrow Terra and I plan to go to the mall and buy expensive yet incredibly beautiful dresses!"
"Sounds like fun," Cyborg said. "Maybe I'll give Bumblebee a ring and see what's she doing,"
Terra swung her arms around Beast Boy's chest. "Guess whose gonna be my date?"
Beast boy cheeks turned bright pink.
Starfire turned eagerly to Robin. "Will you escort me to this earth dance?" A big smile had bloomed upon her face. How could he turn her down?
"Sure thing Star,"
"Great!" smiled Terra. "Then everyone's going!"
That was the final straw for Scarlet.
"EVERYONE?" her voice sprang out loud in the room. The other Titans looked at her as she stood up, arms folded, eyes rapidly turning red.
"Em…sorry Rae, we didn't think you'd be up for it, so we didn't get you a ticket," Terra gave a small shrug.
"You didn't even ask me," her voice was cold, drained from all emotion. Scarlet didn't have to put it on this time. She felt numb.
"But Raven. It is couples only!" Starfire pointed out.
Scarlet narrowed her eyes. "That's it! Your suppose to be my friends, but you don't give a dam about me!"
"Its just a dance," Beast Boy joked. "Over react much!"
"You do this all the time!" Rage was surging through her body. So much angry, she had never felt it so intensely before. So much hate. All her emotions were racing across her mind. If these are what friends were then she didn't want any. "Ignore me, act as if I don't exist, exclude me from everything! I hate you. I never want to see you again as long as I live!" With that the girl disappeared.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alone on a rooftop, Scarlet had shed her Raven costume. What was the point, Raven was dead. Scarlet was dead. Who was she now? Closing her eyes, the girl stared at the tower. They don't deserve Raven as a friend. They never noticed her. Hell, they couldn't even tell the different between her and her clone! It just proved how little they knew of her. Of both of them. Raven had been given the powers of a god, why did she belittle herself by hanging out with a pack of losers?
"Better watch your backs Titans, cause now no one can save you," she hissed.
