Chapter 19: Threats

(Raven's POV)
Alexiel gasped and dropped the envelope to the floor. I picked it up, and broke wax seal that held it together, not even glancing at the symbol that had haunted Alexiel's thoughts. The letter inside was printed in harsh red ink. In the top right corner an identical eye symbol was scrawled in red. The paper read:
"I know where you are, and who you're with. I'm coming. And I'm bringing your siblings. When I'm done, there will be nothing left."
The letter wasn't signed. Alexiel took the paper from my hand mentally, and began to read. Starfire read over her shoulder.

(Alexiel's POV)
If he was coming, I would stop him. 'Go get the others.' I instructed Starfire mentally.
She nodded and flew out of my room as fast as she could. "I didn't know you had siblings." Raven said, sarcastically.
"Neither did I."
I left my room, not wanting to continue the conversation. The automatic door slid shut behind me, leaving her alone in my room. I didn't care; I had nothing to hide.
I found myself walking down the hall that led to the roof door. I opened it and kneeled on the roof. I looked over the city, feeling a strange sense of protection similar to the way a gargoyle must feel, looking at the city life below.
If Vie was coming, why couldn't I feel him approaching? What did the note mean? I couldn't sort anything out. I closed my eyes and began to meditate, feeling myself rise from the hard concrete of the roof.

(Cyborg's POV)
The whole gang was looking over my shoulder when I was doing scans on that letter 'Lexi got in the mail, minus Raven and 'Lexi, of course. They were probably doing their meditating. Introverts. Go figure.

Me: "Scans show that there is absolutely nothing special about this letter! Can we go do something intresting now?"
Starfire: "No, friend. Something about Alexiel's mail-from-the-fan does not seem right. You must find something out of place!"
Robin: "Starfire's right. Something isn't right. But we can't find anything now, but maybe later we can try something else. But as of right now, I'm starving! Let's get pizza. We can sort everything out over breadsticks. Star, go get Raven and Alexiel. We are gonna get some pizza!!"
Star got up to go get the others.
"And we are not having the veggie pizza!" I said to BeastBoy.
"So you're telling me you want to kill some poor defenseless animal?"
"Number one, they're already dead. Number two, they're not defenseless. And we're not having any kind of vegtable on there, either."

--------------------At the pizza parlor--------------------
(Cyborg's POV)
Me: "Okay. So. What do we know about this guy?"
Starfire: "Yes, friend. Tell us all about the Vie."
We had ordered a four-for-all, since we hadn't been able to agree on a single pizza. Mine was a meat-lover's, Lexi's was a sausage mushroom, Robin had ordered extra cheese, and Starfire had ordered every topping known to man. She had even brought extra toppings fom home: sprinkles, chocolate sauce, nacho cheese dip, and salsa. It was just plain wrong. Beast Boy had asked for (what else?) the vegaterian pizza. Raven was holding a hot cup of herbal tea that she had gotten from a street vendor. (Who knew they even sold that crap on the streets?)

Alexiel: "I can't tell you everything."
Robin: "Why not?"
Alexiel: "It's so foggy.....I can't remember it all."

Alexiel turned her head toward Raven. When she did that, Raven's head moved from her cup of tea, and the two made eye contact. Then, Alexiel's eyebrows would move up and down every other few seconds or so. It's been getting weirder and weirder since that girl came along.

(Alexiel's POV)
'What do I tell them? I can't tell them everything.' I thought to Raven.
'You have to. Trust me. The last girl who didn't tell us everything..... well, let's just say it was interesting'
'Will you fill in the parts I can't remember?' 'I don't know your past'
'You were in my mind twice! You know at least three quarters of it'
'Fine'
I turned to the rest of the titans, who by now were giving me the "you are seriously freaking me out" look. (Except for Starfire, who knew from personal experience that Alexiel and Raven could communicate mentally)
I began my story the best I could. "Well, The earliest memory I have was when I was fifteen. I was walking to the bus stop......."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will you ever know her whole past? I'm not sure I will tell you.... but maybe the titans will? Haha. But anyways. For all who want to know my next chapter's name, I can't tell you; even I don't know it! Too bad for you!
