Chapter 2

She sat in her corner, rocking back and forth, muttering some incantation under her breath. Her eyes are closed and her arms are wrapped around her body.

When the white clad warrior returned to the realm of nothingness, he was highly cautious. His aura oozed uncertainty, dread and there were traces of fear. She had a deathlike appearance; to the warriors she was a total dark horse.

Her mind has become darkle. She evinced her destructive nature by hurting herself. No-one could understand her enigmatic ways, to the warriors there was just a woman who was so far gone within her corroded mind, and her body had begun deteriorating.

She needed medical help, but no-one dared approach her. She lifted up her lavender head from its resting position, her amethyst eyes, which were gouging in their sockets, bored into the white clad warrior. She somehow floated into a standing position, her arms wrapped around her in a white hug.

Her long lavender hair enshrouded her face and her amethyst eyes transformed to an eerie white. The white jacket was enveloped in a shadow and ripped apart releasing the subject from its restricting hold. Her white attire changed to a medieval purple cloak and black leotard. The doctor backed against the wall and turned to flee but the door refused to open as it was encased in a black aura.

Dr. Fredriek Burns, who had worked on the patient Rachel Roth for five years, was cornered by the crazed witch. He still remembered when she was brought in; she was a young teenager who was lost in her demented mind. He had studied her actions, her DNA and her responses to other people and inanimate objects.

He had noted that her biggest response was to a toy raven. He also noted that she pushed people away as if to save them. But never before had the subject shown such hostility. The only physical damage she'd done was to herself, she battered her body as if to bring back her sanity. Now she stood before him with an evil smirk on her lips and her once white eyes was replaced with four red eyes.

Her purple cloak changed to red right before is eyes. He was then enshrouded in black, his feet lifted off the ground and he was squashed against the white padding. Fredriek heard and felt his bones breaking before he lost consciousness. The doctor was squashed like an insect, blood and organs were splattered against the wall in a big mess. The other nurses and doctors burst into the room, but they were too late. Her body was engulfed in black and she melted into the ground.

Within her mind, Raven fought her demons. Somehow her negative emotions were getting stronger and stronger. Rage, Hate, Jealousy and Trigon were imprisoning all the other emotions. Raven didn't understand, she destroyed Trigon how could he still be there?

"You are a part of me, as I am a part of you. I cannot truly die if you are alive" The demon spat out. Raven now understood her actions, when she went out with the titans to celebrate, and she blacked out. Memories of that night came back in short flashbacks, the helpless and petrified screams of her friends and allies still haunted the contours of her mind.

Flashback

"Since we have defeated the Trigon, shouldn't we have a big celebration?" the innocent simple-minded Tamaranian asked.

"Star's right, now that four eyes is history and his ghoulies are gone, we should have a big party. I'll call Titans East" the half robot said in glee before jumping up and calling the other titans.

"What do you think?" the fearless capped crusader asked the gothic half demon.

"Sure, why not" Raven replied and even managed a smile.

"Let's go to the beach" the changeling suggested. Everyone seemed to agree and within the next hour they met up with Titans East and the other honorary titans at the beach. While Star, Mas Y Menos, and Aqualad were in the water, and the other titans were playing beach volleyball, Raven was meditating.

She could feel something stir within her, so in a desperate attempt to suppress it she began meditating. But it was too late, her body became consumed in a dark aura and she transformed into the feared demon. Her transformation took everyone by surprise.

The raging demon turned onto the unsuspecting titans. Wildebeest, who was the closest to the half demon was gripped by one of the black tendrils that were lashing out, the black aura crushed the beast before he disappeared beneath the cloak and was destroyed. The attack was so quick, no-one realized what was happening until Wildebeest's dying call was heard.

Everyone jumped into battle mode, Hot Spot, who was closer to Raven released a fire blast. A black energy shield was deployed and a string on black energy lashed out and decapitated the warrior. Hot Spot's body collapsed to the ground lifelessly.

Raven turned to the charging titans, she deflected Star's bolt shower, Bee's zaps, Cyborg's sonic cannon and Speedy's arrows. BB, in bull form, was encompassed in black energy and telekinetically thrown into a few sharp rocks protruding outwards. The changeling broke a few bones and lost consciousness.

Mas Y Menos ran in circles about the demon, they were both picked up with black energy, knocked together and flung into the protruding rocks. Both boys were badly injured and lost consciousness.

Cyborg charged at Raven, the demon then sent strings of energy towards the cyborg, the black strings phased through his armor and into his circuitry, and began cutting and pulling cords, severely damaging the half robot.

Speedy shot arrows on top of arrows at Raven, the demons eyes narrowed and he was enshrouded in black, lifted off the ground and shot head first into the protruding rocks, breaking his neck and piercing his skull, killing the hero instantly.

Bee and Aqualad came at Raven, who was still deflecting Star's bolt shower, eye lasers and powerful punches, Bee zapped Raven and Aqualad used the sea to wet the demon. The water drenched the demon and then she was shocked. Instead of slowing the demon down, the demon became even more infuriated and Aqualad and Bee were surrounded by Raven's formidable power. Star was then also enveloped in the eerie energy, and the trio were hit into the rocks and thrown onto the sand, then slammed together.

The titan alarm went off and Raven's concentration ceased, and the trio fell to the ground in a helpless broken heap. Raven levitated the communicator towards her and turned towards the location of the distress call.

When the demon arrived a few blocks away from the beach, she found Billy Numerous robbing a bank. A smirk on her face she advanced. The black tendrils lashing out and catching all the clones, pulling them to the unfathomable darkness that lay beneath the cloak of the enraged demon. When the real Billy Numerous was by himself, he shrank back as Raven advanced, a tendril lashed out and encircled around him and he was dragged down towards the darkness. Before Raven could end Billy Numerous's life, a call stopped her, "RAVEN, STOP!"

It was Robin.

Raven's body resumed its normal size and she crouched into a fetal position, began rocking back and forth, muttering an incantation under her breath. She was then strapped in a straight jacket and shipped off to the mental institution, where she has been ever since.

Flashback ends.

But now the demon was free and plotted revenge to those who put her into that hell hole.

Phew, that's the end of that chapter.
