Shantel - 19, if you still wanna know.

Tidus'luvr - yeah, Slade does have some good points to him, I guess.

TerraSucks4evur - Thanks, it took a long time to think up, actually.

I don't own Teen Titans


14

Two Titans ran along the ground, trying to find Raven, while a green bird and a red-headed alien flew above the stones.

The bird was flying with more enthusiasm then the alien, faster then the boys along the ground were running, determined to save Raven before any harm fell upon her.

"Scream and I promise you that you'll have screamed your last," hissed David, holding Raven as he sneaked out of the field of rocks.

"No," whispered Raven, "You're dead. I watched you die,"

"You honestly think your stupid darkbolts can kill me? I've been taking immortality elixers, curtosy of my master. And I pretended to love you, I've gotta be a good actor to do that. It was easy pretending to die,"

Raven looked away, hurt. Was she really that hard to love?

"Now quiet, demon. I'm taking you back to the temple,"

"What tem..." David flew into the sky, flying right into Beast Boy and Starfire's sight.

"Follow him!" instructed Starfire, before swooping down to pick up Robin and Cyborg. Her confidence had returned and a robot and a human wouldn't be too hard to fly around.

Beast Boy transformed into a Pteranadon and flew after David. This didn't make any sense, he saw David die. How did he just return to life?

David landed infront of a huge, black temple. Raven could recognise it instantly as the one she saw in her vision.

And at the top there was a figure. Definately not one Raven wished to meet. She struggled in David's grip, but he was stronger and held fast. He slowly walked up the one hundred steps to the top.

Raven forced herself not to panic as she saw Slade standing next to a terrifying figure.

It was entirely black, with huge leather wings and four black eyes. All it's teeth were long and sharp extentions of it's skull. It had long claws instead of hands and talons instead of feet. It was atleast 12 feet high.

The vampire's ruler. Trigon's number one most dangerous henchman. The one that used to keep Raven awake at night. Raven remembered holding onto her Mother's white scarf like it was a teddy bear, shaking like a leaf.

But as a child she had thought this monster was just a story, a figment of her imagination. She was now proved wrong.

"Here she is, do I convert her?'' asked David, throwing Raven at Slade's feet. Raven scrambled back, but didn't rise to her feet or use her powers. If the tales were true, she would probably be no match for this employed Dracula, especially with Slade, David, his vampire followers and the army of shadow demons at his aid.

"No," hissed the vampire. Raven remembered his name to be Aldurah.

"Trigon wishes her to suffer, she will fall quicker if she is converted," said Aldurah.

Suddenly, a shower of starbolts rained onto the company. A Pteranadon swooped down and picked up Raven.

The Titan's had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
