Hey people! I'm back. Feeling like crap right now… I'm coughing, having a cold, having headaches and all… Darn it… Oh well, next part of chapter 8 is up. Anyway, in order to clear a misconception, I'm just saying that Raven is just representing. I'm not saying demons can go into Heaven or whatsoever. I'm just exaggerating everything to help people to understand in some way. ;)

Raven looked around the area desperately to find an exit. However, the shadows seemed to have a life of their own and it did not take Raven long to find that out.

It seemed that whenever she tried to look for the exit, the shadows pressed closer towards her, blocking her view of the room. Yet when she looked away, the shadows retreated. Just then, Raven had an idea. She tried to scan the room with her telepathy, but something seemed to push her powers back. As she tried some more, she felt that it was to no avail.

Raven then sat down irritated and grumbled, "Well, this is just great... Slade is back and deathless... I can't get out of this place and Starfire's out cold... Now what am I going to do?"

"You could have asked God you know." a little voice in her head nagged at her sternly, without any anger.

Raven couldn't help smiling sheepishly as she just remembered that God could do anything. Raven then requested of God apologetically, "Lord, please help me to get rid of these shadows... I can't find a way out... Your word is like a lamp to my feet and a light for my path (Psalms 119:105)"

Suddenly, a bright light filled the room and all the shadows disappeared. Raven shielded her eyes and after the light had faded, Raven heard a moan behind her. She whipped around and saw Starfire looking at her groggily. Raven also felt a strong life-force within Starfire.

Raven thanked God, feeling extremely relieved. "Where are we friend Raven?" questioned Starfire, extremely fearful.

Raven just told Starfire to keep quiet for a while as she pulled Starfire along with her. As soon as they stepped out of the room, Raven found themselves in a maze much similar to the maze which Beastboy and Cyborg were in when they entered her mind (Nevermore).

Raven sighed in exasperation and sat down, pondering on what to do and speaking /praying to God. Just then, she felt a gentle nudge from nowhere, pushing her to a certain corridor. Raven then called Starfire to follow before heading off into the corridor. Upon following where she was nudged to, Raven soon found Starfire and her nearing the exit of their "prison".

Just then, Raven heard some voices through a wall. She motioned for Starfire to be quiet and leanedtowards the wall.

---In a Secret Room---

"Good work my slave... you have trapped Raven... We will need her. Do as you wish with that Starfire girl... But bring Raven to me. Go NOW!" commanded a mysterious figure.

With that, zombie Slade lumbered out of thehidden room and went to get Raven...

---Currently---

Upon hearingsomeonecommanding Slade, Raven immediately grabbed Starfire and ran out of the "prison". Raven then levitated into the air and flew off. As she looked back, Raven realized that they had just escaped from the Satanist "church" her mother had used to be in before she quit.

Suddenly, she heard a roar of rage from within the building. Starfire screamed and Raven looked back, only to see that the building had erupted into flames. Just then, Ravensaw an extremely good-looking person walking out of the building. Upon seeing the person, Raven just floated in the air, mesmerized by the person.

Upon stepping out in the opening, the person then started emitting some light and seemed to float up looking like an angel. As Raven started going towards what seemed like an angel, Starfire shook her and cried out, "Raven! That thing is evil!"

Raven was then shaken out of her trance. In the angel's place, an extremely grotesque creature had replaced it. It seemed to be decomposing and maggots were crawling all over it. The light that seemed to radiate from it started disappearing and was replaced by a dark glow. Raven then looked at the eyes of the creature and saw that it was filled with evil.

With that, Raven was pulled alongby Starfire back to the Titans Tower... Meanwhile, the creature was following them, mocking at them at their attempts to escape.

After much dodging, hiding and praying, the girls finally reached the Titans Tower. They ran through the doors and made it lock-down. They then ran off to find the other titans.

While they were running around in the corridors, they accidentally bumped into Beastboy. "Yo dudes. What's up with you? You look like you have just seen the devil!" chuckled Beastboy, wondering why the girls were so frantic.

"Friend Beastboy. We have seen the devil! It's coming after us!" cried Starfire shrilly, nearing the point of tears.

Beastboy then turned serious, "Are you sure!"

Raven then nodded. With that, they had a silent understanding of what to do. Raven and Starfire took off to find Robin, while Beastboy went to search for Cyborg. During their search, Raven could not help but ask Starfire, "Star, how did you manage see through Satan's illusion?"

"Friend Raven, you know that I was quiet throughout," and Raven rembered Starfire's silence, "Well, I was praying for God to help us and guide us. Then when that creature came, I somehow felt someone telling methat it was evil and I believed.Then, that illusion seemed to fall away and I saw its true form..."

Raven then felt yet again amazed at how much faith Starfire had despite being such a young Christian. "Maybe being like a child isn't all that bad all the time after all..." thought Raven as she returned her focus on the task of finding Robin...

Meanwhile,Satan had reached the door and was currently prying it open.

To Be Continued...

Hey people. I'm not sure what I'm doing... I'm having a writer's block and I'm worried that I might have given some misconceptions on Christianity in this fiction... Hmmm... Oh well, please read and rate. Thanks a bunch! ;)

God bless you people!
