(A/N) Yikes! It actually took me more than a couple of days to get this chapter posted. But don't worry, I won't slack off any more. I've been researching Communism...but back to the story. Raven and Robin forever! Sorry, this chappie has more plot and less fluff. But LOTS of fluff is soon to come in later chapters. Yay! Oh, btw, I am going to add in part of Raven's past. I'm just making it up, k?

Chapter 11: Surprise, Surprise!

Raven and Robin, the fledglings, sped through the city at inhuman speeds, which made sense, since they weren't humans. Not anymore. The searched far and wide for Kuro Arasi, but he was nowhere to be found. Unless...

"Robin...do you think he's at...at Pier 92?" Raven asked hesitantly. The last time she was there, the figure from her nightmares had appeared and been somewhat defeated. But she could tell IT wasn't going to stay gone for long (A/N uhoh, I smell trouble...but that's later).

"You know, I think you're right. We haven't checked the naval yard yet. Let's check out the warehouse at the pier.

So they raced to the pier, travelling five miles in under 20 seconds.

"You know, I could get used to this whole 'vampire speed' thing," Robin said.

"That's good, cause you're gonna have to get used to it. This is how you will remain until you die, if you do die." Raven told him.

"Oh, yeah. Forgot." Robin scratched the back of his head.

'He looks so cute when he does that.' Raven thought to herself. 'Wait, why am I thinking this...oh, this whole denial thing is becoming a habit. I like Robin. I think he looks cute when he scratches the back of his head. No denials, no excuses.'

So, with Raven getting her thoughts in order, they walked into the warehouse, for the third and last time.

This time, instead of IT, they saw a complete stranger in the middle of the room. The person was obviously a female. She was wearing a dark dress that sparkled when the light hit it, and her hair was up in a bun.

Raven and Robin could tell she wasn't a vampire, but her face was quite pale. But the main thing they could feel radiating from her was malice. Anger, hatred, and enmity were gross understatements to what this woman was full of. Her anger was like a force field, pushing the two Titans away.

"Hello, Robin. Hello, Raven. I am told that this warehouse holds many memories for you. Don't worry, this is the last time you will enter it. You have entered three times, but you will only leave twice. Say goodbye to your friends, fledglings. Say goodbye to KURO!" the stranger said. As she shouted Kuro's name, a hole opened up in the floor and a strange medical table-looking thing came up through it. Strapped to the table was Kuro, looking very weak and very tired.

"Raven? Robin? Run away...she will kill you..." he mumbled weakly.

The Lady laughed. She pressed a button on a remote control, and the table Kuro was strapped to started to extend. Robin realized that it was a medieval torture device: the rack. She had Kuro strapped to a rack.

Raven figured it out too. 'How could anyone be so cruel?' she thought as Kuro's screamed echoed through the empty warehouse.

The Lady laughed again. The screaming was like music to her ears.

With a final popping sound, Kuro's back snapped in two, and he cried out in such agony that it made Robin's ears hurt. Raven was already clutching her head, trying to block out the noise.

The Lady smiled. She walked over to where Kuro was. She leaned over and whispered something into his ear. His eyes widened and she brought a white oak stake out of her pocket. With one cruel plunge, it bit into his heart, and he died instantly.

"KURO!" Raven cried. "That's it! I've HAD it with you fing villians and how you always take away everyone close to me. My mother, my sister and brother, and now you're killing the closest thing to a father I ever had. I've had it with you bitches! You're going down!" With a battle cry, she ran forward with Robin right behind her, also shouting.

The Lady easily sidestepped their anger-fueled attack. "Tsk tsk tsk." she scolded. "Focus. Don't lose control like that. I was hoping for a challenge."

Raven was seething. She was full of fury. Her pure malice towards villians in general rivalled the malice radiating from the Lady. She directed all of her vampiric powers and all of her half-demon powers at the Lady. Trigon's power came rushing through Raven and focused on the Lady. Surprisingly, the Lady actually took damage. She gasped in pain and fell to her knees. Robin came into the attack and started lashing out at her. With one last hiss of annoyance, pain, and fatigue, the Lady disappeared.

"Aw, just when it was starting to get fun," Raven said sarcastically. Then the reality of what happened hit her again and she started crying because her vampire father was dead. Robin knelt beside her and held her in his arms.

Finally after a few minutes her asked, "So, you had a brother and sister?"

Raven sighed a said, "I still have my brother and sister. They're just not...well, not really my siblings anymore. They're totally evil and I hate them. Let me tell you my story..."

(A/N) Yay! Another chappie. Sorry it took so long. Won't happen again. Notes to my new reviewer

Gilraen Luinwe: Thanks for the review. I like reading books about vampires, so I felt like it would be cool to make Robin and Raven vampires too.

Till the next chapter! (Which will probably be up by Tuesday morning or sooner)
