Chapter Three:
Raven was being pinned down to the cold, hard ground. Her ambusher was holding her wrists tightly, so tight that even she couldn't suppress him/her with her powers. The dark girl struggled out of the enemy's grasp, only to be held down again bythe sole of the attacker's pointed shoes. "So, dear child," he/she smirked maniacally. "We meet again. This time, however, I will not be forced to hurt you. My master, a decentvillian named Slade, will wish to see you."
Raven gasped. "Master? But in my vision, you wereordering him torelease the portal between the mortal world and (dareI say this) hell. I thought you were the master,father."
Trigongrowled. "You will hear what I say, daughter, and believe it. Your destinyhas not yet begun to unfold. Not yet. You must wait, child, and then your power will consume you, my wrath will consume you... the world will be your child of darkness,and you shall behell's queen, reigning forever in the ages ofwoe and blood. I shall be your guardian, and the mortal world will be the throne you will conquer and forevermore take over. You future is fortold, mydaughter, andit is in the hands of ME!" The sky rumbled with the intensity of a thousand thunderstorms, and the air became cold and unforgiving around her. A crowd had formed around the two, but Raven could not make out any spectators that looked likethe Titans. She couldn't, anyway... her father had sucked her energy out of her soul, leaving nothing but her conciousness behind.
"Remember your destiny... remember, you will die," he chuckled evilly, and disappeared, leavingRaven weak and almost drained of her soul as the dark clouds parted and the evening sky grew fresh and airy again.
Robin checked his communicator. No sign of Raven anywhere. He groaned and put his head in his hands.
"She was the strongest titan ever. Now that we've lost her, there's no thinking of what Slade'll do to us all."
Starfire cleared her throat. "Friend Robin, you are thinking too much. I believe you may want another hot beverage of thehorkenblauq root, for you care much about Friend Raven, and-" The alien gently put a hand on the boy's shouder, but he shoved the girl away. Star gasped and a hot tear slipped onto Robin's arm.
"Enough! I'm sick of you! I'm hightailing out of this place, and don't even think about following me! What kind of a teammate are you? We lose a member, and you're telling me to calm myself down and drink some of that DISGUSTING hot stuff that tastes like ROTTEN SQUASHES?" The boy wonder was hyper, waving his arms up in the air, until he noticed Star's hurt expression. Tears were flowing like rivers down her cheeks, making her emerald eyes glossy with every tear that escaped her eyes.Even though Robin wanted to apologize like bad, he put a scowl on his face and growled. He really regretted that, because Star was now sobbing and walking, (not floating because her 'unbridled joy' was ruined) up the stairs, away from him.
"Whatever. I'm still going. You're pathetic," and with that, Robin slammed the door of Titan's Tower, which was now officially leaderless. The masked boy wondered why he was doing this, just for a stupid goth girl with a demon father. But he then remembered their last embrace, and couldn't stop the memories of earlier times with Raven. It was too much to handle.
Is that good? Next chappy should be up soon.
