DISCLAIMER: I shall never own TT ::sobs:: But y'all know which characters I do own ::huggles them all tightly::
Heyhey peoples! No reviews for the last chapter ::tear:: oh well...
I desided to split 'Bloody Valentine' into a part one and part two or it would be really long and take like a week to update. I'm really sorry for writing at snail pace and the chapters not as great as they used to be but I'm getting bombed with projects one after the other so at night I don't really feel like typing anymore just veggin' out in front of the TV.
But anyways enjoy,
CHAPTER 10
Bloody Valentine
Part I
Raven opened her eyes to the brightness of the sun shining through her window. She groaned and rolled over, her back to the sunlight.
Three days had passed since Raven guessed Robin told Starfire, she'd been giving her the evil eye every chance she could get. Raven basically ignored her and went on doing whatever she was doing, but knowing she hated Raven's guts wasn't necessarily a good thing. Starfire was equipped with starbolts and lasers. And Raven had a feeling that if Robin and she were to kiss again Star would use them on her.
But, some how Raven managed to get through the past days without getting the skin burnt off her and was happy with that at least.
Damn frickin' sunlight, Raven thought to herself. She could see the brightness through her closed eye lids. She opened them and pulled the covers off her bare pale legs. Walking over to her closet wearing just a pair of underwear and a t-shirt, she pulled out her leotards and a bathrobe and walked into her own bathroom.
Raven pulled a hairbrush through her bed-head hair while the water warmed up. Pulling off her t-shirt and underwear she stepped into the shower, the warm water waking her up.
After shampooing and conditioning she stepped out again rapping a towel around her skinny, pale body. She pulled the hair brush through her violet hair again staring at her reflection in the steamy mirror.
She stared at her amethyst eyes. Empty, but full of mixed emotions about Robin and life. Her face was expressionless as the brush pulled through the few knots. A face appeared next to Raven's in the mirror. Dark red hair and fierce aqua green eyes and a taunting smirk. Her eyes widened in horror and she turned around. But, he was gone...if he was even there...
Five minutes later Raven was at the kitchen eating breakfast. Once again Starfire was giving her the evil eye from across the table. Cyborg was eating their also trying to figure out what was going on.
"What are you two fighting about now?" Cy demanded.
"Raven is a back stabber and breaker of hearts!" Starfire said scoffing and turning her head away from Raven, who just rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Wha?" Cy asked with a confused expression on his face.
Raven sighed and opened her mouth to try to explain when the door bell rang, "I'll get it," she mumbled getting out as fast as she could without running.
Raven opened the door and looked around. Once again no one was standing, her eyes automatically dropped to the doormat, where sure enough, there was a large brown envelope. She snatched it up almost anxious of what the letter was going to say and what the pictures would be of.
Closing the door behind her she slowly walked down the hallway to her room. Raven's eyes scanning for any means of other human life. But, the halls were empty and Raven thanked for that as she slipped into her bedroom.
She dumped the envelope contents on her desk next to the other envelope. She gasped quietly at her eyes widened. There shining in the few rays of sun light was the ruby pendent, the sun rays bounced off it and left the desk in a red glowing hue. Next to the pendent was a note, the writing was scrawled across the paper in red ink. Some of the writing was smudged but this Raven could make out:
Dear Raven,
You betrayed me! YOU FITHY LITTLE BITCH BETRAYED ME!!!
After that most of the writing was smudged except a the last line:
...in it holds my pain and hatred of you. Suffer...
Raven mulled the note over in her mind, something holds the pain and hatred me...
She tapped the page in irritation. Could it mean that it is a robot or monster, perhaps a recreation of Trigon? It could be mad with the hatred of me...but the note also says suffer at the end. That would mean that it would be attacking me, right? But so far nothing has happened...maybe later on. Her eyes floated away from the page and over to the pendant, could it be...? Raven asked herself as she reached toward it.
There was a bright flash of light and Raven began to see images in the back of her mind.
The group of them quietly walked down the hallway. Well, as quietly as twelve people could on stone floor. Their footsteps echoed in the dark hallway, they slowly made their way over to the last door. Inside was the girl that they would sacrifice to Hades and reach full demonic powers.
Acerbus grinned in warped satisfaction. After Aquilus and him reached full powers and took over Aquilus's old tribe he was going to propose to her. Together forever. They were a pair, made for each other.
Aquilus stopped and the rest of the group behind her stopped abruptly. She whispered, "We need her body and soul, so if any death angels show up make sure they don't take her to hell. She'll be worthless to us if we don't have her body and soul."
Her voice was an icy chill that Acerbus never heard before. It almost frightened him; she needs to look strong for the rest of us. Her thought looking around the faces that were trying to keep their fear down.
Aquilus pushed the door open with one pale finger, it opened slowly and slightly creaked. They all filed into the room prepared to do the ghastly deed. Acerbus gasped and he wasn't alone, there she was sitting on her futon with her violet hair floating and thrashing. Raven's eyes were glowing a demonic red and she was levitating a collection of sharp metal rods. It seemed like Aquilus was the only one excepting to see Raven awake as she stepped forward from the crowd, "It's so nice to see you, Raven," The violet haired gothic girl narrowed her red eyes. Two of the twelve people in the room exploded. There blood splattered over the walls and the room smelt of burnt flesh. Acerbus trembled in terror as he saw his friends die.
"Touché!" Aquilus said. She didn't even flinch at Raven's out burst which had frightened Acerbus even more. "I see you haven't changed, still the miserable little girl," Aquilus spat. "You think your so great with your father the great and mighty Trigon. Staying in your room basically all day. Pul-ease! Your nothing but a psychotic little bitch. Your just a fucking little bitch, Azar only takes pity of you to harness your powers so you don't end up like your bastard for a father."
Acerbus put on a straight face and stared coldly at Raven, silently agreeing with his sweetheart. Though others weren't as brave and fled the room like the cowards they were, Acerbus watched them out of the corner of his eyes disgusted.
That's when Raven cracked and sent the metal rods at Acerbus, Jade and Yumi. His world was full of pain.
Pain targeted Raven in her chest and neck, but still she kept one hand on the pendant as she touched her neck. There was no wound but blood was slowly dripping down it. She began to cough, blood splattered on the desk and over the letter. She groaned the pain was over whelming, it was like getting shot six times and being left to bleed to death.
Acerbus dropped to his knees, he wanted to curl up in a ball and wait for death. But, he had to be strong. He started crawling towards the crazed bitch that did this to him. But he went flying into the wall, adding more pain. He lifted his head only for a second to see his sweet Aquilus's eyes full of lunacy and a follower beside her thrashing. He lowered his head, I'm losing too much blood. He thought depressed as he closed his eyes expecting it to be the last time.
Just darkness not seeing anything and the sounds of the night were just murmurs in a far away land. There was yelling, or was it whispering? Acerbus didn't know and didn't really care, his blood was making a puddle around him and he was on the edge of death. He heard a scream, it pierced through the night and seemed to break his ears. It was a demonic scream, Acerbus murmured something then the night was quiet.
Raven's eyes shot open. The pain was numbing and slowly melting away. She was trembling slightly staring down at the pendant.
The titan's siren blared as red light flashed, Raven almost jumped out of her skin and her desk lamp exploded. She put one hand over her heart breathing deeply as Robin's voice came over the intercom, "Titans trouble! Unexplained explosions under the city, knocking out power and destroying the sewers!"
Part two will be posted whenever I feel like writing again
