Well... I proudly present you with... Chapter Ten The Fall of the "Pendent"


Chapter Ten The fall of the "Pendent"

{"NO SHE DOESN'T FATHER... I do." Clay said cunningly. And in his right hand between his index and thumb he demonstrated the piece of jewelry; the slight gleam shown into our eyes. 'No!' Raven thought inwardly. 'He can't give it to him! Was it possible that Beast Boy gave Clay the pendent, without confirming it to me first?'}

"Ah Clay," Slade pronounced, with a slight indication of a quiver in his tone. "My son... I knew that you would furnish brightly in the coming future. Apparently, today is the bright future. Now hand it over," he hesitated a moment before proceeding, "son."

A slight smirk that signified malevolence was present on his face. He had painstakingly conjured a plan that would exploit Raven's trust.

"I'll do anything to please you," Clay said suggestively, "father."

"Good, smart boy." He responded quite content. Raven, who was in total disbelief, was attempting to stop the blood from spilling down her stomach, but it was no use. The liquid found its way through her fingers only creating the previous diminutive puddle, larger.

"Clay," Raven yelped through clenching teeth. "Clay, you can't do this. Don't give it to him." He reluctantly looked towards Raven, looking at her painful state. It hurt him equivalently to see her that way. To see the blood spilling from her lips. But the last straw was had been drawed. He'd have to do this.

"Sorry Raven." Was all that he managed to say before returning to gaze at his father.

"You want the pendent right?" he randomly asked. Slade obviously nodded. Clay smiled at his response and alleged "Well...catch." He flung the piece of marveling jewelry as it slowly surpassed its destination. Slade made a weak attempt the reach for it, but it was too far above his head. If it should fall and crash, there'd be no Trigon, but there would also be no Raven with powers.

Then it, as if in slow motion, finally fell. Fell beyond a cliff that hung at the least a hundred feet from the ground.

"NOo!" yelled both Slade and Raven. But Slade, unlike Raven, was able to function successfully. He dove after the piece and fell off the cliff, hungrily longing for the power of that little significant object to him.

Raven was fuming. She'd lost her powers forever. She would no longer be of any use to the Titans, signifying the end to her friends.

"Raven," Clay commenced.

"Don't speak to me," She said icily. "WHY did you do that? I'm never going to be able to return to myself, return to the person I once was."

"But Raven, I got rid of Slade."

"For now." She commented rudely. "I'm ruined... I no longer have a purpose."

"Don't say that. Yes you do." Came a voice from behind. "Of course you do." And from the shadows emerged a limping Beast Boy. "Oh no, you're hurt." Clay and BB immediately went to her side.

"It's okay." She managed to protrude; with her eyes closed. The pain, it was at a summit of no return. "I – I - I don't think that I'll be around for much longer- anyway."

"Oh-no you don't. You are staying right here" Clay said to her naively.

"I – I – I can't heal the way I use to... I – I – I don't have any of my –my powers... remember?" she said beginning to slur her words.

"But the pendent... you still have the pendent. Just, just drink Trigon's blood already." Beast Boy said unknowingly.

"I can't. Clay used it as bait."

"What are you talking about?"

And with the equivalent feel of receiving an engagement ring, Beast Boy brought forth the pendent from his pocket. Her eyes lit and sparkled incredulity, the tingling feeling at the back of her eyeballs was apparent. Her head shot towards Clay who she realized had a very pronounced smile. A smile that could light the world.

"Raven, I used a quarter! I would never hurt you... remember?" he said almost playfully as they both ignored Beast Boy's confused state. BB shook his head and placed the pendent in the small of her hands. She for a second gazed at the thing that could forever change her life. Clay clearly noted this and suggested his thought.

"I think that I'll leave you guys alone. You - you need to talk things out... behave yourselves" he said with a wink. "Be quick... if you know what I mean." Clay said leaving before a comment could have been made. They blushed profusely, in silence for seconds.

"Beast Boy," Raven started, "you do know that if I take, if I take this that I won't be able to- to you know." She said hoping that he'd understand. To her utmost relief he nodded.

"As long as you are going to be okay." He said with much sympathy in his voice.

"And that I won't be able to, to do this." she stopped as to demonstrate what "this" was. They were completely caught in that moment; a mystical swirl entirely engulfed them making it appear to be very magical. Her hand slipped to the back of BB's head as to secure the 'last and final kiss' they would ever have. Beast Boy's hands trembled as they positioned themselves on the lowest part of her back. They shared a most intimate kiss; a kiss that they obviously wanted to last forever; and when they finally separated they di their best to avoid each other's eyes. It was too painful to say goodbye.

"Take it now." He demanded. "You're right; I don't think that you have too much time left. You need to heal." She nodded.

"Can you please call in Clay?" she asked as her voice wavered to a mere hush.

"I'm here." He said as he entered the cavern.

"I just want you to know that... that... that I thank you. And you know what... you're right. I do love... and I will always." Raven and Clay's eyes met for the last and final time. Well, I guess I have no choice. I – I need to go back. I need to be the Raven that I was." And with that said she forced herself to sit upward, grunting in pain. She held the pendent firmly in her fist. She closed her eyes and recalled the words that were required to open the slit atop of the spectacle.

"Capios Angre" she murmured and opened her eyes with the little bit of force she still had left. At those words, the mystical object opened on command. "Well ... bye." She said before downing the sacred liquid kept in the small vial. The pendent was released and hit the floor with a clang.

Raven's eyes lit crimson. She started to float with arms stretched out atop of Clay and Beast Boy. Her flying abilities were evident, they were returning. The wounds found mid stomach were disappearing, almost like magic, as well... and only a mere rip remained. She was put upon her feet. She rested her arms at her side and opened her eyes as the "Raven with powers" yet again.

"Hello Boys," she mumbled in the monotone voice she had had previous. "How's it been?"

Clay and Beast Boy nodded their heads in fear and shock of saying anything at all. They cautiously watched as she flexed her hands and began to hover.

"Everything seems in order. I just have to check one more thing out. AZARATH MENTRION ZINTHOS" she bellowed towards a small like boulder. They all stared, as it glowed black crumbling to mere pieces. She was content. She was back she had the ability of destroying her father... for sure.
