Chapter 4: The Forbidden Power
Raven lied that she needed to have meditating practice. She was just reluctant to go to the public library to look up facts she already knew. Why was she doing this to herself? This wouldn't make her any trustworthy to the titans, always running away.
There was a knock on the door. Raven looked up. Who could it be? Everybody was at the public library. Raven slid open the door and looked around. Nobody there. It was probably just her imagination, that is, until she found a neatly wrapped package on her doorstep.
Raven picked up the box and placed it on her desk. She unwrapped the package and it turned out to be an old black book. It had a red rose on the front cover going sideways and the cover stated: Jigoku no Yami, Raven arched an eyebrow. Her mother was part Japanese, so think back.
Yami means darkness or Underworld, no means of, or of the, lastly, Jigoku means Hell or Underworld. So it's Darkness of the Underworld. Raven snorted. Why would anyone send her this book? As much as Raven hates to admit as well as she's filled with anger and hatred towards him, her father is the Ruler of the Underworld, for god's sake.
Just as she dumped the book in the trashcan, she stopped dead. Her eyes glowing an alarming shade of white. She had sensed something in that book. She picked up the book once more and saw that it was engulfed with black mixed with a bit of white aura.
She flip through the pages. Inside were some poetry and 3 of which, caught her eye. The Face Inside Is Right Beneath The Skin (M/n: the poem, The Face Inside Is Right Beneath The Skin is not an original poem, it's actually a song, Papercut by Linkin' Park.), pp.765-766, Forgotten and Remembered, pp.998-1003, and The Forbidden, pp. 1110-1111. She could relate to something within these poems somehow.
But most of all, The Forbidden was most uncanny, even for her. She skimmed the poem looking back and forth looking for the answers.
The Forbidden
Author Unknown
In times of conflict of light and dark,
The Forbidden rose from the grave.
Created from darkness,
Essence of evil in it's purest form.
Full of deceit and unbearable sorrow,
Bearing the unbearable,
Condemned into isolation.
Isolated,
Who are you really?
Forbidden One,
Is it the true nature of power,
To bring destruction?
The Power of Darkness,
The Forbidden Power,
Is it the only solution?
The only answer for salvation,
For this horrible curse,
Is none other than a fate worse than death,
To be forgotten.
In human knowledge,
As much as we hate to admit it,
We, humans, or even part humans,
Fear not to die,
But fear to be forgotten.
The Forbidden who took countless lives,
Seeks its awakening.
The threat of hell has risen.
Will you protect it?
Or will you corrupt it?
It is a fate only you can have.
The Fate of the Forbidden.
A corrupted soul forbiddingly plots your downfall.
The Rune of Darkness,-
Raven's stomach lurched. She hadn't mistaken it. She clearly read, The Rune of Darkness. Just as Raven was pondering on how the hell did this person know about this, she was pulled into another Realm.
There lied in front of her, was a hooded-creature. "Come to meeeeeeee..." his hissed, stretching out his grayish decayed hand. His voice was rough and a bit croaky and his eyes were bloody red.
Raven backed away slowly, "Give it to meeeeeeee... the Forbidden Power..... hand it over........." his hissed, more venomly.
Without warning, Shinigami, clearly more human-like, not that decayed monster grabbed her limbs and pushed her down to the icy cold marble floor.
Raven looked sideways, not wanting to keep eye contact with this bastard but she still struggled for dear life. But her assailant had pinned her so hard she couldn't. Shinigami let out a low, mirthless laugh.
"Why won't you just hand it over and come with me, o essence of darkness?" he sneered. Raven struggled even more. Shinigami was very close to her now. She stared at his gorgeous crimson eyes. That was a mistake.
Her eyes were turning blank. No matter how powerful Raven's mind is, she could still be hypnotized by a very, very powerful charm or spell. Shinigami took advantage of Raven's hypnotized state and pressed his lips firmly on to hers into a kiss.
Raven was out of her trance almost immediately. Her violet eyes widened in shock as lips were pressed onto hers. She thrashed around wildly, hoping to make him let go of her.
A piercing pain that went through her stomach stopped her . She began feeling helplessly weak. She couldn't fight him, she couldn't fight it. Her body was glowing a bright green glow.
The pain was unbearable. It was cutting throughout her entire body like a knife. Shinigami pulled away from her. His hand into her stomach. Slowly and gently, he began stroking her hair.
Raven panted and looked at him, grudgingly. Beads of sweat poured down her face. Shinigami's hand was starting to materialize out of her stomach with a pearl when someone yelled the words: "RAVEN! WAKE UP!"
