Chapter Eight: The Fallen One

"What?" Raven snapped, unwilling to believe that there even was a way to get Silver back. Foxfire only nodded. "How?" Raven demanded.

"Follow me," Foxfire answered, leaving the room, without turning to see if Raven followed her. Foxfire walked all the way out of the tower, leaving Raven in her room, who was too scared to follow. What if it's not real? Then I'll just get my hopes up and then... nothing.. Raven doubted, NO! I must at least try to get him back! I have to try...

Raven emerged out of what seemed like nowhere behind Foxfire, who was still walking. She had phased through the window and flown down. Foxfire didn't greet her or anyhting of the sort. She immediately began telling Raven what they had to do.

"When Silver was consumed by his demon form, he didn't really die. The demon energies took over the human ones, but by that time the demon energies were fully unleashed, and almost dead. They had used all of their power to destroy Poacher. So Silver's human form was sent away, to the Gate, and the demon form died and vanished. The Gate is in the region of the woods where Silver and I aquired our powers. He was sent there, and is fighting for his life not to be sucked in by the Gate, and cast into demon world where his soul will be destroyed." Foxfire said all of this somewhat quickly, and without pausing or showing any emotion.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Raven asked. If Silver was fighting demons, they had to hurry.

"It's a long walk," Fox said, a hint of her usual playfullness in her voice, as she started sprinting towards the woods. She was extremely fast. "Wait!" Raven called, flying after her as fast as she could go. Raven followed her for two hours, neither of them stopping. Their love for Silver was driving them both, and it was pushing them as far as they could go.

Finally Foxfire stopped. They were very deep in the woods, and Raven had no idea where they actually were, but she didn't really care. Fox pointed forward, and Raven looked.

There were caves, lots of them, among the trees. In front of the highest cave, there stood a stone figure, about 12 feet tall. It had six eyes, and long hair, just below its shoulders. It had six wings, also stone, protruding from its back. In its hand there was a thin sword, at least 8 feet in length. Even though the weapon was stone, it looked as if it could still carve through the thickest steel. The figure also had a long staff on its back, that appeared to be strapped on, but a belt across the thing's chest. The staff would have been intimidating to look at, if your eyes were not then drawn into the clothing. It was the most detailed stone they had ever seen. Every rinkle, texture, it was all there. It was a little too lifelike for the two girl's liking, especially since it would be dark within the hour.

"Be careful," Raven whispered. Foxfire, who had seemed like she knew exactly what to do before, seemed to know nothing about this. The two girls approached the caves slowly, keeping their eye on the terrible stone figure the whole time. When they were within a yard away from the first cave entrance, a voice spoke. It was a purely dark and cold voice, that penetrated your mind, and even your soul, "Who goes there?" The voice asked. It was calm, as well as menacing.

Both fighters instantly knew what had spoken. They looked up and saw the figure, no longer stone. It was now very much alive, and in full color. It's eyes were blood red. All six wings were black as night, as was its hair and clothing. It wore, they now saw for sure, long robes. It appeared to be male, despite the long hair, and heavily muscled arms were bare, as well as its face, and the skin was very pale, almost white. The girls also noticed, for the first time, that it appeared to have a broken halo floating over its head. The ring of shining gold was crooked and incomplete.

"Our names," Foxfire began, she, like Raven, felt that they had to answer this thing. "Our names are Fiona and Raven." The thing seemed not to hear them, and spoke again, "I am guardian of the Gate. I am a Fallen One, a seraph fallen from heaven, and am now a seraph of hell. (For those of you who don't know a seraph is an angel w/ six wings.) I sense your intentions, and I know the one of which your thoughts dwell on." The seraph seemed to slightly smile when his comment made Raven and Foxfire tense up in fear. "And, I shall not allow you to pass. The wolf must be sent to the demon realms, for he has failed." And with that, faster than any mortal could see, the seraph flew forward, it's cruel sword raised. Foxfire's demon/fox senses picked up the movement, and knocked Raven out of the way. The sword hit the ground, and caused an explosion of black fiery light. When the flash was over, a large portion of the ground was gone. "Don't bother running," the black angel said in the same, calm voice.

"We don't need to run! Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven cried out, producing a black sword of her own, made of energy.

"Didn't know you could do that.." Fox commented.

"Go get Silver!" Raven shouted, raising her sword to meet the seraph's. They met with a bright flare of energy. Raven was surprised how strong the angel was, and almost lost her balance. He raised the sword again, ready to strike at the girl. The sword came down, and in a flash, all that remained in the sword's wake, was Raven's blue cloak.

At Titan's Tower, Cyborg looked out his window, in the direction that the two rescuers had headed. They won't come back. We'll never see any of them again. Cyborg knew. "Cyborg?" Robin asked from behind him.

"Yeah?" Cy asked, not turning to look.

"I'm sure they'll come back, with Silver."

"Yeah. Whatever you say." Robin left the room, and headed to his own room. He met Starfire on the way, in the hall. "Hi Star," Robin said.

"Hello Robin," she answered.

"Where are you headed to?" Robin asked.

"To Beast Boy's room, he seems to be having, 'love' problems," Star explained. Robin would have laughed, but not now, with Raven and Foxfire missing, not to mention Silver. "I see," Robin answered.

"Robin?" Starfire asked.

"Yes Star?" Robin asked. Star's tone of voice sounded akward, she sounded almost nervous. "What is it?" he asked again.

"I believe I may be having some 'love' problems of my own."

"Oh?" Robin was getting nervous too now.

"Well you see Robin, there is a boy that I love." Robin felt his heart shoot to his throat. It couldn't be you Robin, he thought to himself, otherwise she wouldn't be telling you. Yeah, that's right, you're just her friend. Nothing more, not ever. He managed a nod. "You see Robin, he and I are very close, but I'm not sure what to do." Starfire looked at Robin, waiting for advice.

"Ah, I would tell him.." Robin managed to say.

"I don't know if I can Robin," Starfire said, looking like she was deep in thought. "It is quite... racking of the nerves, you understand, yes?" Robin nodded.

"I think you should try Star, if he loves you back."

"I don't know if he does dearest friend Robin."

"Can you tell me who it is?" Robin asked. It'd better not be Beast Boy!!!!! No, it wouldn't be if she was heading to his room to talk about 'love' problems.

"You see Robin, if I told you who it was, then I would have to overcome my fear of telling the boy that I loved him." And she flew off, leaving Robin in shock, picking out slowly what exactly she had said. Is it me? Robin asked himself, suddenly excited.

Meanwhile, Star made her way quickly too Beast Boy's room, and knocked softly.

"Come in," Beast Boy called. Starfire walked in, closing the door behind her. "Oh hey Star, ah, thanks for coming."

"It is alright Beast Boy," she said, sensing his nervousness. "I will be glad to help you with your problems, and I will tell no one."

"Thanks Star. Well, it goes like this..."

The Fallen One looked confused for a split second. Raven had gone dark-bird and phased behind him. Her cloak however, had been caught by the seraph's sword, and was now at the angel's feet. Raven's sword came down hard on the beast's neck, slicing it open. The seraph looked stun for a second, but then his flesh healed mostly, leaving only a thin trickle of blood. "Nice attempt," he said, and reached quickly for his staff with his left hand. He flung it around his head, sending it flying at the levitating girl who had injured him. "AHHH!!!" Raven cried out as the end of the staff hit her chest, knocking her out of the sky. She lay on the ground, trying to get up.

The staff sprung from where it had landed into the seraph's left hand. It was made of thin black wood, with lettering carved that Raven couldn't read. And who knew what magic it possesed, especially in the hands of this creature. His wings fluttered softly as he approached the crawling girl, sword raised.

"Get him?" Foxfire muttered under her breath, "How the hell am I supposed to 'get' him?" She ran from cave to cave, peeking in each one. They were all small, and empty. Foxfire glanced around, looking for the next cave to check, when she saw a cave that looked familiar. "That's the one!" she shouted, though she was talking to no one. "That's the one in my dream!" She ran forward at full speed.

The seraph suddenly turned from his advance on Raven. Raven took this as an oppurtunity to stop pretending to be hurt, and attack. She sprung to her feet, chanting her three words. Out of her hands came a beam of black energy, The seraph was still looking at Fox, ready to stop her, and hardly noticed the attack. The energy was about to hit him, but suddenly, though the angel had done nothing, the beam went to the tip of the creature's staff, and was absorbed.

"Stop," the seraph said quietly. Then it seemed as if everything was frozen. Neither Foxfire nor Raven could move a muscle, and the forest seemed unusually still. Raven was screaming out inside in frustration. Nothing could move, except this seraph, this guardian. "You are in a spirit time-freeze. Only spirits like myself may move about, within a radius of half a mile where it was activated. So now I'll decide what to do with you. I may as well let you speak before you die." The staff made a slight movement, and the area around Raven and Foxfire's heads was unfrozen. "Why," the seraph began, "Do you wish to save this boy, when he is clearly not strong at all, if a mere demon form destroyed him?"

"Because," Raven began, "Us mortals, I suppose you could say, well our lives are not consumed with power wishes. We don't care how strong Silver is, yet we still want him back." This statement seemed to confuse the seraph. "We want him alive and with us, because we love him." At those last words, a change suddenly seemed to be about the seraph.

"I-I once loved.. before.. I fell. I know not how you feel, young mortal human demons." Raven spoke again.

"Then you know that we will find a way to get him back, no matter how far it takes us. Because we love him more than life itself, more than er.. death, in your case I suppose..."

"I understand," the seraph said, bowing its head. As it did so, the time-freeze evaporated. As it did so, all the black on the seraphs body and clothing slowly faded into white, and his skin became colored, and not so faded to white. After his change, he was somewhat handsome. "I once loved, an angel, named Salisa. Then I fell... You may pass, and what you wish for shall be granted." Then the seraph slowly melted into heaven, where to this day he lives with his wife, the beautiful Salisa.

Raven and Foxfire did not say a word. It went as in Fox's dream. They entered the cave, and found Silver, asleep. It seemed he was restored, from what magic the seraph had done. And, Raven and Foxfire immediately sensed, his demon energies were there, in perfect balance, just as they were meant to be with this wolf boy. They lifted him gently, left the cave, and ran.

They ran for two hours, carrying the boy, who was still asleep. They ran and ran, until they got home. To Titan's Tower.

"Well I met this girl," Beast Boy started, "And I loved her at first sight. But she ran off, because she thought I'd betrayed her. Then we met up again, and she and I were falling in love, but it turns out that she had gone down a different path, and was forced to betray us. We were forced to destroy her, but she went good in the end, and saved us all, turning herself to stone in the process."

"Terra," Starfire said softly. Beast Boy nodded.

"Terra. So she was gone. It took me a long time to get over all she'd done, and I never really did. But then, my heart felt empty, and I needed to put something in that empty place. So I thought that I loved Raven, and I did some really stupid things because of it. And now I'm in this mess, and I now see that all I really want is Terra back."

"That can be arranged," A voice said from the door. Starfire and B.B.'s gazes shot to the doorway, and met the strange, glowing almost, multi-colored eyes of their newest friend.

"Silver!"

Haha, there you go! Chapter Nine coming soon, enjoy!
