Through the Eyes of Raven
Chapter 6
Death in the Family
"This is weird," Raven thought, "If he wanted to kill me, why wait until now? It could be, that I could have easily defeated him before, but since he has been gone for two years he could probably defeat me since he has been training." "This just doesn't make since." She said as she left her room.
"What makes no sense to you, Raven?" Starfire asked.
"Nothing… I was just thinking." "You wouldn't understand… or would you? Blackfire wanted to kill you, maybe I should talk to you." "Um… Starfire this may sound weird, but do you want to go on a walk with me later, I want to talk to you about something." Raven said trying to smile, but only a line crossed her face.
"That sounds fun!" Starfire said as she walked off, "Bye!" "Bye" Then Raven walked down the hall. As she walked around the corner, she bumped into Nevar.
"There's my little sister," "Little? I was born before you where." "I was wondering if I could borrow one of your books."
"Sorry… I don't let people mess with my stuff."
"Ok." Nevar said, straightening his back so he stood taller. "He knows I know. That was just a test about the book." "Then can I have hug from my little sister?" He asked, grinning so his teeth showed.
"Uh… no thanks, I don't give hugs." Raven said pulling her hood up.
"Ok, bye." Nevar said still smiling. He turned and then walked back down the hall. But before he turned Raven took a last glance at his teeth, and saw that they were pointed.
"So, it has begun." She said under her breath. Raven then walked off to find Starfire. Raven found Starfire on the roof of the Tower, playing badminton with herself.
"Are you ready to go?" Starfire asked as she spiked the Birdie.
"Yes… Yes I am." Raven answered as they started their long trek to Terra's resting-place.
Meanwhile…
Beast Boy, Robin, and Cyborg where in the living room playing video games.
"Hey Beast Boy," Robin said, "Have you seen Nevar this morning?"
"Yea, why?"
"Doesn't he look a little taller?"
"Yea, he does." Cyborg said, "And his eyes are reddish too."
"Not only that," Beast Boy continued, "Have you seen his teeth? They're pointy."
"Something weird is going on here." Robin said.
" It's not nice, talking about people behind their backs." A voice said, a voice that belongs to Nevar…
"Why did you want to come here?" Starfire asked.
"I wanted to talk to you in private, and this was the first place I thought of."
"Well, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Do you remember how Blackfire wanted to kill you?"
"Yes… why does Raven ask?"
"Well… how do I say this? I believe Nevar wants to kill me, it's as simple as that.'
"Not so simple." A voice said.
"Nevar!" Starfire yelled as she threw a starbolt at him. The starbolt hit him and vanished in a cloud of lack smoke.
"Petty girl! You can not stop me! No one can stop me! Now, sleep!" When Nevar said this, Starfire fell into a slump on the floor, into a deep sleep. "Now, dearest sister, to you. You can make this easy and die without pain, or you can suffer. Choose quickly!" Raven shifted her weight to her right leg, because her left leg got strangely heavy. She looked down and saw her sword hooked onto her hip. "He wants me to fight, and that's what he will get!" As Nevar stepped forward, Raven drew her sword, the once perched raven now spreading its wings to take flight.
"So, you choose pain." Then Nevar lunged, but not with his sword. Raven jumped back, barely dodging the attack. The weapon of the attack was long eagle like talons, coming out of his fingers. "Where's his sword?" Raven began to walk backwards until she bumped into something. Before she could turn around a sharp pain erupted down her back. When she turned around she saw her brother, or what was her brother standing with strips of her cloak and shirt under it, hanging from his talons. She then thrust at him, but with lightning speed he knocked the blade out of her hand.
"You can not win!" his voice screeched as he backed her into a corner. "Fire burns! Ice chills! Death brings pain! Life brings happiness! Fire over powers Ice! Death over powersLife! Come hither Fire! Come hither Death! Chase away Ice! Chase away Life!" Then Nevar raised a crude dagger into the air.
"Fire may over power Ice, but when Ice melts it becomes Water, and Water over powers Fire. Death may over power Life, but there is no Death if there is no Life." A voice behind Nevar said. "Who's that… I'm so dizzy…" As Nevar turned he saw a white blade enter into his heart.
"How? How did you kill me?" He screeched, then, his body went limp.
"May this great evil pass by you, so you can rest in peace, my friend." The stranger said. "Am I dying?" Then the stranger turned and looked at Raven, but Raven didn't see him. All she saw was what looked like a bright light in a fog. Then everything went dark.
When Raven awoke she was lying on her bed. She tried to sit up, but a pain erupted from her back, so she flopped back down onto her bed.
"I wouldn't do that, if I were you." A voice said coming from the side of her bed.
"Who are you?" Raven asked.
"Some call me the Forest Wanderer, but you can call me Iren. You need to rest, Raven, you have been injured very badly."
"How do you know me?" She asked, even though, with every word, pain came from her back.
"I am here to guard you from ones like Nevar. I know your name because I know you. And I know you because you let me. Now, you need rest, then, we shall talk." And that is what Raven did.
My back is killing me! Anyway, you have been reading the words and thoughts of me, Raven, put down on paper by Forest Wanderer, or Iren if you want to call him that.
I am here to serve, to guard, and to write.
May the Light guide you and shield you from harmWrite Fast,
Write Well…
Never stop wandering the Forest,
Forest Wanderer
