"What the hell? Two more doors?"
Raven stopped in her tracks. The first door was weird enough as it was. It was labeled with a number Zero, pretty expected due to his name, but now she stood in an entryway with two more doors. On labeled with a number one and the other with a negative one. The other strange thing was the song blaring in this entryway. It sang, "Breathing each other's lives, holding this in mind, that if we fall, we all fall, and we fall alone."
Raven, partly because she was curious and partly because she was holding her ears the music was so loud, decided to take the door with the negative one on it. She reached for the handle to open it and sprang back when she touched it.
"Blazing hot, blazing hot, ouch, ouch," she muttered. Now being more careful, she used her mind to open the door. It creaked open an inch and then exploded off of the hinges, sucking her inside of what seemed to be a hellhole. Fire and brimstone was the scene she saw, demonic aura is what she felt. All around her was a sense of evil, and it drove her mind insane trying to fend it off from taking her over. She passed out from stress, fell from the air, and fell to the bottom of the room.
When she awoke she was in a cave, steaming with heat and seething with rage and fury. Raven was speechless, and now, instead of a sort of neutral song blaring over her ears, it was evil and sang, "If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six,"
She staggered to her feet and moved down the cave. Trying to maintain consciousness, and also her sanity, she thought of the Zero she knew. He was the only thing holding her up right now. But he would fade when see saw what came upon.
A large cage at the end of the cave, and in it sat a demon. The heat was radiating from this demon so intensely the bars on the cage were red hot; it's a wonder this demon captive hadn't escaped. She surveyed him a while, and realized he knew she was there.
"Who are you?" she asked holding her arm over her face. No answer came from the demon. He sat and stared with eyes without pupils. They glowed white, and flames would rise from them occasionally.
She came close and noticed he had scars over each of his eyes, his arm engineered from what looked to be old war machinery, his other was very scarred, stitched, and surprisingly muscular. He had a bone-like shroud jutting up from his chest covering his mouth. Two horns, each about six inches long stuck out of his forehead, and above his head was a ball of fire. His torso was attached to two robotic legs, each nothing like the other because of ragtag construction, but where the mechanics met flesh, he bled. He bled from his eyes, from the horns in his forehead, from the shroud in front of his face; "It's a wonder you haven't died from blood loss," Raven muttered to herself.
The demon stood slowly, and holding out his arm, he grabbed a hold of her with some sort of telekinesis and drug her over to the cage.
"What the-?" Raven gasped as an invisible hand wrapped around her neck and forced her over to him. She tried to scream, or even use her mind to fend his off, but the evil power of his was destroying her own. She struggled to get free, but failed miserably. He pressed her up against the searing hot bars with his mind, but his eyes never left her as she screamed in pain. Her suit was burned off in a bar pattern across her body, exposing her skin to the blistering heat. When she tried to push away, she burned her hands severely on the bars. Her cheek was forced onto the cage, burning her face. She couldn't get away from the cage with all of her might.
"STOP PLEASE!" She screamed at the demon for mercy, but to no avail. She opened her eyes through the searing pain of having red hot metal pressed into her only to see a number zero on the shroud written in blood overlaying a carved-in pentogram.
"ZERO, STOP!" she yelled.
She dropped to the floor clutching her body in pain. Soaked in blood, she looked up. He stood looking at her on the floor. One eye had become the ice-cold blue eye of Zero's.
"You are Zero, aren't you?" she asked through gritted teeth. He stared at her with menace and fury. She was, for the first time, afraid of Zero. Afraid of what he might do, afraid. She tried to reach into his mind, and all she got was evil. As soon as she was in his mind, a pentogram burned into her forehead. She writhed in pain on the ground.
Raven got this from Zero. "YOU WILL FEEL WHAT IT IS LIKE TO DIE. I WILL SHOW YOU. I WILL SHOW YOU PAIN, SUFFERING, AND THE ONLY RELIEF YOU WILL EVER GET IS DEATH."
Zero lifted a metal finger to the cage door. Not wanting to experience such pain again, Raven opened the door obediently with her mind. Raven lowered her head as the door opend and began to cry. Her powers were not unleashed, as Zero had now deprived her of any power at all. Tears fell from her eyes to the dirt, and she looked up to see her last image: Zero's blue eye was back to flaming white, and he had grabbed her face and lifted her to the ceiling. With his free hand, he took out what looked to be Zero's Desert Eagle, and shoved it down her throat. She shut her eyes tight, and hot tears streamed down Raven's face into her burns as she prepared for the only one she loved to kill her. She could not move, she could not escape, she could only cry.
And she cried as Zero pulled the trigger.
