Chapter 5: Revenge

I couldn't let her go by herself. She's going to get herself killed. I'm going with her. I don't care if she likes it. I don't care if she wants revenge. I would too. But I DO care if she gets hurt. I've already lost my mother; I don't want to lose Raven either. Especially to that jerk, he has an appropriate name too, the Destroyer.

I shouldn't have come by myself. I'm going to get myself killed. I'm going without her. I don't care if she hates it. I don't care if she wants revenge too. But I DO care if she gets hurt. I've already lost my mother; I don't want to lose Topanga either. Especially to that jerk, he has an appropriate name too, the Destroyer.

As I reached the mountains I had second thoughts about just leaving Topanga like that. It's for her own good. I couldn't have taken her with me. She could get killed, or worse tortured, then slowly and painfully murdered, and it would be my fault. I could NOT let that happen. I am on a mission…revenge.

"Raven, wait!"

"Topanga! What are you doing? I told you to stay at the camp."

"No you didn't. All you said was 'You can't go', you never said to stay at the camp, and besides you can't face this alone."

"I can and I will." Then I thought to myself you know you'll get yourself killed.

"You know you'll get yourself killed."

"How did you-I was just thinking-"

"Raven, I've never told you this but I'm a mind reader."

I looked at Topanga with amazement.

"That's why I got mom's telekinesis and not dad's physic abilities, because you got them!"

"I wish I knew dad." Topanga said with great sadness in her heart for a father.

"No you don't. Our father was a very bad person." I told her, but not revealing that are father is still a bad person.

All of the sudden, out of nowhere a giant boulder came flying at us, luckly I "caught" it before it smashed us both under it tremendous weight.

"What was that!" Topanga yelled after I sat it down.

"Trigon has probablly seen us coming"

"Do you mean the Destroyer?"

"Uh...yeah. We need to get going before he sends something else our way."

Topanga and I ran into a clearing, blinking at what we saw. There was supposed to be the pond where my mother and I played together when I was young with a wonderful view of the Ruler's castle, but instead there was a dried up mud pit with the terrifying view of the Destoryer's half torn down castle.

"It's worse than I can even imagine." Revenge raged greatly in my mind, but I tried to keep it on the back burner now knowing Topanga can read minds.

"I told you it was bad."

"But I never thought it could be this bad.

"I know."

"Stay here." I said with all seriousness in my voice, "I don't want you to get hurt."

"But what if-"

"I'll be fine. If you came and got hurt I could never forgive myself." I started to tear up and those tears started to run a marathon down my face, "Please... stay here."

"Raven, I-"

I didn't stay to listen to the rest, as I whipped around and made my way to the castle. As I walked as quietly as I could through the castle, looking for my father's chamber. At the same time I was trying to think of a plan to defeat my father, a weakness, anything. Just as long as I got revenge and my mother was avenged I didn't care.

From now until I say so, they speak the native Azerath language, unless they talk to the Titans

When I came across "The 'Great' Hall" I could feel my father's evil presence in the room.

"Bring the meat servant!"

"Yes master." a weak voice answered.

Trigon started ripping his meal apart, literally. All of the sudden I heard sceams like flesh being ripped off a still living body. Gross, my father eats people? I knew he was cruel, but that's just-my thoughts were interupted by a loud boom.

"WHERE IS SHE! SHE IS HERE! FIND HER!"

"Who master?" the weak voice questoined.

"MY DAUGHTER RAVEN, YOU FOOL!"

I came from behind the wall and into the doorway. "You don't have to look for me coward!"

"Foolish girl! You actually think you can beat me? You are just like your mother; brave, weak, and powerless! And you will die the same way as well!"

"You killed mother, you MONSTER!"

"How do you expect to beat me if you don't even believe in yourself!"

Take that table and smah him with it, now! Right before I did this Trigon reached down and took the table and swung at me with it and he didn't miss. I flung across the room hitting the wall, and almost knocked down the wall, and almost knocking me out completly.

"Even that stupid gem your mother gave you can't save you now! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

Stupid gem? Mother gave me? On my-Everything went black.

I couldn't let Raven go alone, even if she didn't want me to get hurt. I don't want her to get hurt either. After she was out of sight, I wandered the hallways until I heard a loud noise about 30ft. from me, like something smashing against the wall. As I approached what appeared to look like a dinning room I heard the most terrible sound.

"...can't save you now! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

I peeked around the corner to see Raven lifeless on the floor.

"Take her body to the courtyard and creamate her. Then spit in the ashes for my sake. After that then go clean or whatever you do."

"Yes, master." the weak voice replied picking up her body and started carrying her body to the back.

I ran almost silently away as fast as I could heading back to the entrance so I could run to the back into the courtyard. When I got to the courtyard I saw the servant wrapping Raven in a white cloth starting with her feet. I looked at Raven and saw something that the servant and Trigon had overlooked. I saw Raven's chest moving, but her breaths were so small, I had to look twice to tell. She's alive! But how do I get her free? That servant has got to go. It wasn't difficult for he was tired and weak from carrying an almost lifeless body all the way to the courtyard, and of course I didn't kill him for that's just cruel. I just wrapped him in the thick layers of white cloth he had in his hand. When I unwrapped Raven I laid her on the ground and gently slapped her face. When she didn't wake up I decided to take some risks. I went into a trance trying to get into an unconscience mind.

This takes place in Raven's mind like in "Nevermore"

I looked around and couldn't believe I was in Raven's mind. It was a horrible place. I can't even imagine what has happened to Raven's mind; what she's been through. Then I saw her laying on a rock like she was sleeping.

"Raven?"

"You have to...the gem...Trigon..." Raven weakly whispered.

"What gem? Raven? What's going on? Tell me."

Raven turned her head, "Trigon, he's...he's our father and-"

"What! It can't be! Our father he-"

"Killed our mother. The gem, the ones on our heads, was given to us by our mother to protect us from him. They are his only weakness."

"But how we use them?"

"I'm not sure."

Then Raven collapsed in my arms. I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to take our father down.

When I woke up the servant was wrapped up in some sort white fabric and Topanga was gone.
