Rochwen hummed quietly to Dragon Wings who flicked her tail every minute or so. The air was still and everything was quiet, but something didn't seem right.
"Something tells me they're going to have issues with Terra and that necklace," Rochwen said dreamily, but catching the horse's eye. The response was a snort, almost a dry laugh, like when you point out something obvious and someone says "duh." She smiled. Suddenly, she heard A'lain's voice echoing in her head.
"Rochwen, we need your help..." The message was cut off, but she had heard enough. She jumped onto Dragon Wings' back and they lept into the sky. Diving through the icey portal they arrived over the tower and glided into the infirmary through the broken window.
"What's going on!" she asked, seeing Terra pinned helplessly against the wall by Raven, who was only stopped from hurting her by BB's yelling.
"We don't know," A'lain said, short of breath. He too had been attempting to restrain Raven, "Terra came in and went after the crystals and Raven just exploded. There's got to be something you can do I hope?" His eyes were large and pleaded for her help. She hurried past him, drawing out a sword. Muttering somesort of incantation under her breath, bright purple flames shot up the blade. BB jumped back with a yelp. The black energy that suspened Terra evaporated as Raven turned to face this new threat.
"Azarath metrione zinthos!" she shouted, shooting black coils of rope from her hands. Her cloak flew back and waved into red. Rochwen was quick and blocked the attacks with her sword. In a smooth movement, she had her bow poised with an arrow aimed square between the dark girl's four eyes.
"Rochwen, no!" A'lain shouted, lunging toward her, but the arrow had already been shot with the accuracy of one who had been trained by Legolas himself. Rochwen fell, her hair fanning out beneath her, and A'lain on top of her. Raven however, was still. The red cloak faded to purple and her eyes closed. She fell seemingly in slow motion to where BB moved from Terra to catch her.
"I wasn't going to kill her you fool! It was a spell. She was taken over by one emothion, anger. The arrow pushed it back into place." she said anrgily, pushing him away. He crawled over to her and gathered her in his arms. The arrow had fallen away to dust and there was no mark. "You see that jewl on her head? It connects with her emotions. By shooting into it, I put Anger back in her place."
"How did you know it would work?" BB asked nervously, looking up from Terra.
Rochwen shrugged, "Lucky guess." A'lain glared at her. "Give me my necklace, it seems to be causing infinate problems. I might have guessed. You see, the crystals have a spell that will captivate human minds, women mostly. It posseses them."she explained to BB's confused look. Terra stirred and sat up. Raven did the same. She put a hand to her head, groaned and fell back against A'lain.
"Something's not right in Nevermore. They're fighting for control," she whispered under her labored breath. She tried to silence the voices echoing through her mind with no prevail. "No," she whispered, beginning to twitch,"Please, just let me be in charge. Leave me alone!" With a final shout she slipped into unconciousness again. A'lain lifted her gently and laid her on a clean bed. Dragon Wings walked over and nudged her gently, as if trying to say something. Laying a hand on her shoulder, Rochwen nodded.
"We'll need to keep an eye on her. Make sure nothing strange happens. Beast Boy, why don't you take Terra to her room." He nodded and help her up and they left.
The next morning found Rochwen pacing the foot of Raven's bed. She was on watch to let A'lain get some sleep. He had wanted to stay up and keep an eye on her, but having just recovered, Rochwen thought it best if he try for some sleep. Raven's eyes fluttered open, but she lay still otherwise. Rochwen moved quickly to A'lain hwo woke when she lay a hand on her shoulder.
"Raven?" he whispered, a hand on her cheek. Suddenly, she sat up and had a huge smile on her face.
"Helloooooooooooo!" she said happily. She then proceded to jump on the bed and as they watched with open mouths her cloak slowly rippled into orange. She giggled and sang to herself as she hopped in less than graceful circles.
"Insanity," A'lain whispered, "she had always hoped we'd never see her." Insane Raven dropped to her hands and knees at the sound of her name.
"Are you talking about meeeeee?" she asked, leaning in very close to his face. "Of course you are!" She jumped off the bed and ran from the infirmary. After a moment's pause, they ran after her.
While Insane Raven was forcing peanut butter into the toaster with great concentration, Starfire entered the kitchen.
"Hello friend Raven! Ummm, I do not belive the butter of peanuts is upposed to go into the toaster. By the way, your new cloak is simply wonderful!"
"Do you like it! No one else seems to."
"I do, it is most lovely!" I.R. twirled around the kitchen.
"I bet you have lots of fun stuff! Let's go play!" She grabbed Star by the wris and hurried out of he kitchen.
hahah! crazy Raven! Review and tell me how terrible it is!
