Teen Titans: The Son of Evil Part 2: Family
Chapter 23: Happy Birthday Crane! Pt1: The Oddest Birthday Present Ever.
The sun rose again for another day at Titans Tower. Its rays landed on the eyes of the female half-demon known as Raven and she turned her head away from the light barie her head in her pillow. She heard a strange sound, like a cold humming sound. She lifted herself and saw her brother Crane, sleeping at the end of her bed. She gave a smile, she adored her brother when he was asleep, he look so peaceful. But then she heard the humming sound again. It was coming from her brother. She crawled over to him and sat next to his sleeping form. He had his hood over his head and had his cloak wrapped around his body. She gently pulled his hood down and unwrapped his cloak around, only to gasp in horror and was scared to death. It caused her fell out of bed. Her face was sweating in fear.
"No." she said quietly. For a thought there, she thought that she just saw her brother with the Mark of Scath on his forehead, and with a different kinds of crimson red Azarathian symbols all over his body and a larger Mark of Scath on his stomach. She got back up, but gasp again, because the symbols and marks were all gone.
'Was I hallucinating? But it looked so real. What's going to happen to Crane? But he's not a portal like I am. But if the markings are on him, then what is he really? Stupid! How could I forgot! It's his birthday today. I just hope that the symbols came because of his birthday and that's it.' she thought as she tried to calm down. She wrapped Crane back up in his cloak again, and left her room to get some air in the main room.
Ten Minutes later.
Crane's eyes opened up and he sat up. His eyes hurt for a bit and he rubbed them with his fingers. He felt a empty feeling inside his stomach for two reasons: 1. His sister wasn't here. And 2. He's hungry. He got up and put his cloak on and pulled his hood down. Crane left the room and found is way to the bathroom. He turned the sink on and started to winced his face with water. And soon his eyes became clear, he let out a scream of fear. He thought he saw the Mark of Scath on his forehead and he thought he saw that his eyes were split into his Six Crimson demon eyes. He lifted his face back up to the mirror, but only saw the mark was gone and his normal eyes were there. He was panting heavily, but he shook it off and dried himself off.
He walked into the main room, only to run into Tory. "Good Morning Crane! And Happy Birthday!" Tory yelled through a megaphone, pointed at Crane's face.
"TORY! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME DEAF?" Crane yelled right back.
"No of course not silly. Oh and Raven wanted me to give you this." Tory explained as he handed Crane a piece of paper. He took the paper and read it.
Dear Crane.
Me, Robin, Beastboy, Starfire, Blackfire, Rapidfire, Cyborg, Jynx, and Terra are going out to get stuff, and we'll be out, most of the day, and we just ran out of food, so no breakfast today. But hang in there bro. We'll be back as fast we could, later on during the evening, we'll celebrate your birthday party. Keep active today and Happy Birthday.
Love: Your sister Raven.
Crane was done reading and his stomach growled again. The same thing happen with Tory. He clutch his stomach in hunger. "I'm starving Crane." Tory yelped out in hunger.
"Me too. Raven said that we're out of food, so that means that it's just you and me for most of the day. Well there's got to be food somewhere." responded Crane as he started searching for something to eat. Tory joined him.
For half an hour, they searched the entire tower, and still nothing that's edible. They were ready to give up and starve. Until Tory said "Crane! Where did this came from!" Tory called out. Crane turned around to see that Tory was pointing to something on the counter that none of them saw before: a piece of pie. They both just stared at it for five minutes long. Wondering. Where did it come from? And how did get here?
"Oh well no sense solving a mystery on an empty stomach." Crane finally spoke.
"I agree lets Eat!" cheered Tory. Together they shared the pie.
Once they were done, they felt more hungry, but that was it, they ate the whole pie. But then they heard a sweet laughing of an old woman. They turned around to see an old woman in a apron and red cloths and a big hat with an eye on its front.
"Now that my children are now satisfy with their breakfast, what do they want for a little snack?" the woman spoke in a kind voice. Both Crane and Tory gave huge smiles as their eyes changed from blue and red into pink all over.
"PIE!" they both cried out in joy as pie appeared in front of them. They pulled out forks and said "Thank You Mother Mae-Eye." then they both started to devour their pies.
The woman now known as Mother Mae-Eye walked over to them and giggled as she said "You're welcome children. Eat as much as you want, and remember, Mother Loves You." She smiled as she gave a wink. Then the screen went black blank.
