Hey, I'm finally updating. Sorry for the delay. I broke my finger…it's still broken, but I couldn't resist. Hope you enjoy!

Ring…ring…Raven could here the ding dong of the door as she waited patiently by the entrance. She ignored the curious glances from passersby as the door opened and an old woman looked up at her, her eyes enlarged behind large, thick glasses. With a quick glance around outside, she ushered the younger girl inside and led her into a parlor where she motioned for her to sit.

Doing as she was told, Raven sat and ignored the curious glance from a man in his forties sitting in a seat near hers as the woman bustled into another room.

"I was wondering when you'd come to pick this up girl." The woman muttered from the next room.

"Sorry it took me so long, I had a few things to take care of first." Raven replied shooting a glare at the man who was still watching her nervously.

"Quite alright deary." The woman said bustling out again, a large box in her arms. Setting it down on the table infront of Raven and the man, she opened it and began pulling out various things until she came to a small box about a foot long, and half a foot wide. The latch on it looked old and rusty as Raven took the offered box and set it in her lap, looking at it closely.

"It's not seen the light of day in many years child." The old woman announced as she handed the man something covered in a piece of golden colored cloth. He grinned wickedly for a moment before stuffing it in his pocket, nodding to the old woman and scurrying out like a mad man.

"Thank you." Raven said, touching the box lightly with her hands, looking at the beautiful carvings on the sides of it. "I'll be in touch." She said standing, the box under her arm as she left and took the long walk back to the tower, where she would be very busy that night.

Chapter 7: Little Brown Box

Raven stared at the wood box sitting on the desk next to her bed. She forced herself to remain calm as she traced the engravings on the box with her eyes. The engravings twisted around the entire shape of it and they seemed to be words, although no language for them ever existed. The dark haired girl sighed as she continued to watch it somewhat suspiciously.

Although she hated the thought of using what lay inside the box, she knew that she would have to against Moon and D'Rello. D'Rello's last little visit had been more of a nuisance then anything else. He had always been the 'clown' in their so called 'family'. She hated him. He hated her. That's the way things went.

"Raven…you in there?" Came Cyborg's voice from somewhere outside her door. The half demon sighed in annoyance as she spared one last glance at the wooden object and stood up to go to her door. Opening it slightly she glared out. What do you want?" she asked her normal, cold monotone back on in full swing.

"Uh, we're having a meeting in the living room." He said, giving a nervous smile. She nodded her head while she closed the door to stare back at the box. She didn't dare leave it un-attended. The chaos that would ensue if Moon, D'Rello, or anyone else for that matter that had connections to them, if they got their hands on the box.

Groaning, Raven picked up the box and held it under one arm as she left her room and reappeared downstairs in the living room. Everyone jumped when she suddenly appeared and watched curiously as she held the box in her lap as she sat down.

"What is it?" She asked, her dark eyes scanning their faces.

"We just wanted to talk about what's going on with you're…uh…" Robin said, not sure if he should say sister, knowing well enough they were not very close.

"Moon." Raven replied briskly as she nervously ran her fingers along the wood's engravings.

"Right." Robin said a little nervously. He could tell that she seemed uneasy about something, and he would bet his life that it had to do with the box in her lap.

"What's up with the attitude Rae? Did we disturb you or something?" BeastBoy asked, always being the loud, obnoxious voice that would ask the other's unasked questions.

"You interrupted me." Raven replied, her eyes glaring at the little changeling who was looking nervously around for back up.

"What were you doing?" BeastBoy asked, his curiosity getting the best of him

Raven eyed him warily then said, "Brooding." BeastBoy still looked curious and seemed like he would ask another question until Raven threatened, "Curiosity killed the cat."

"Yeah, but satisfaction brought it back." Chuckled BeastBoy thinking she was playing around with him. The other Titans looked at him as if he were stupid. Raven smiled slightly and the others visibly relaxed.

Raven sighed as she looked down at the mahogany colored box in her lap. She was unsure of weather or not to tell the others about what lay inside of it. She didn't want them getting curious and opening it. That would only lead to further problems.

Finally deciding, she looked up at her friends.

"This box contains a very powerful item. I am going to use it to destroy my sister Moon and my brother D'Rello. I'm warning you now. If you so much as touch this box, let alone open it you will suffer an eternal life in hell." Her eyes seemed darker as she gazed threateningly at her companions.

"Why would we be in hell?" Gulped the already scared BeastBoy.

"Because I would send you there." She replied, adding on a dark tone to her voice as she watched with slight amusement as BeastBoy seemed to wet his pants.

"What is hell, friend Raven?" Asked a curious StarFire.

The group rolled their eyes, as Raven watched the sweet Tamaranian viciously. "Hell is a place you do not want to end up." Raven replied as she stood easily and suddenly disappeared, the same way she had come.

Raven sat alone in her room, all of the lights off. Her eyes though seemed to glow a pale color as her powers revealed things to her. Her sibling's were currently quarreling over some non important thing. She didn't care about that, but she did care about the fact that they were going to attack her in two day's.

This revelation made Raven look at the box on her bed next to her, distastefully. She knew she would have to open it sooner or later, but she would have preferred later.

With a calming sigh, she placed her sweaty palms on the latches and flipped both of the rusty locks. A small white light appeared around the edges where the top of the box met the bottom. Lifting it, the room was suddenly filled with a loud boom that shook the walls of the tower, and a blinding flash.
