Raven felt scared as she huddled in the corner of her room with Beast Boy beside her. She had always known that the end would come one day, but she had hoped that it would be better than this.
"Death… will consume you!" a rough and deep voice boomed from in front of her.
She looked up and saw a tall muscular red being – Trigon. Her father had finally found a way to come into this realm by using her and the equinox. Raven should have been destroyed when she could have, than maybe now, her friends, Beast Boy, and the rest of the world would have been safe.
"Join me, and we will rule the universe, daughter."
"Never…"
Trigon snapped his fingers and Raven rose up into the air, her chest seemingly made from helium. Her cape dangled between her feet and seemed to blow in the wind even though they were still in the tower. Trigon wrapped his hands around the girl's body as she whispered stop to him. She wished she didn't have to face this all alone; that Beast Boy would just wake up and help her, even though she knew she needed to do this alone.
Trigon looked down on the floor at the sleeping Beast Boy. He picked him up off the floor and put him in the palm of his hand. Raven watched with horror as Trigon turned Beast Boy into a life size puppet, making him to the can-can and the salsa whilst he was asleep. Actually, she watched with slight amusement but mostly horror.
"You have grown fond of this boy."
"No," Raven said while looking away, hoping her father wouldn't catch her lie, but he did.
"Liar," he spat. "You were always a dirty liar. Let's see how you like being killed by the one you love…"
Beast Boy's eyes started glowing red as Trigon dropped him to the floor. Trigon walked over by Raven's door and sat down, as if he were in some major sporting event about to cheer his team on. He threw Raven over to where Beast Boy was standing. Raven stumbled over to the boy, but was quickly punched in the face by him and knocked to the ground. His glowing red eyes looked at her with hatred. She got back up to her feet again.
"Beast Boy… it's me! Stop!" but she knew it was futile, he could not hear her or see her.
Beast Boy morphed into a raven and flew over to the girl, swooping over her, and biting her. He morphed back into himself, and slugged her again, making her fall to the ground. She got up again, determined not to fight back, determined not to let her father win. But how could he lose when Raven did not want to fight him. Raven soon grew tired compared to Beast Boy's whose energy seemed so… limitless all of a sudden. When Beast Boy punched her in the stomach, she stayed on the ground. Beast Boy grabbed her hair and lifted her up, revealing soft fleshy neck.
Trigon laughed wickedly, knowing he was about to win.
"I can give you one last chance to join me before I kill you both."
Raven said nothing, instead, she looked up into the eyes of the boy she had grown so fond of. A tear slid down out of her eye as she remembered her life and the pain she had felt throughout it. Everything was her fault, and now she would die feeling guilty of so much that she had not meant to do. Her eyes pleaded with the boy.
Beast Boy held one of his hands in the air and a long sharp claw come out of his fingers. He pulled her neck out closer to the claw and ran it along her neck.
"Don't forget me," Raven said, staring up at Beast Boy.
He softened, and his eyes slowly went back to the normal brown color. He looked around in confusion and then down at Raven, who's hair was still in his grasp.
"Uh… Raven?"
"Yeah?"
"What's going on?"
Beast Boy looked at Trigon and jumped back a couple of feet seemingly in shock, taking Raven's head and body with him. He finally released his grip on her, and started to go in the motion of attacking, but Raven but her hands on his chest and shook her head. She pushed him to the ground where he sat.
Raven attempted to kick her father, but her father easily kicked her off and into Beast Boy. He pulled Raven close to his body and stroked her head.
Trigon stood up and looked at the two with disgust. He came closer to the two with a look that could kill. Bright light started surrounding everything in the room; Beast Boy couldn't see anything. He felt Raven leave his arms; he reached out for her and called to her. Raven felt anger and hatred rising inside her; her emotions getting the better of her; Trigon getting closer, immense pain everywhere; Raven's voice; Beast Boy calling; power surging through Raven's body; her powers…
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
A gust of wind suddenly picked up, knocking things askew in the room. The bright light got brighter, but nothing could be seen. Trigon wailed in agony of… something. Where was Raven?
Fog, mist and light was everywhere. Chaos. Beast Boy didn't know what was happening, but he knew he had to find Raven. He got up but was quickly knocked to his feet again. Against the noise, he heard voices and banging on the door. He still couldn't see anything, but he felt a body land in his arms. The body was shaking intensely, but loosened up a little as Beast Boy said some comforting words.
The two teenagers lay in each others arms trembling, but happy that they were both alive, and happy that they were with each other for now.
Only 1-2 chapters to go. Wow… lol.
