Terra' Revival
Beast Boy stood there in the kitchen fully dressed and ready to move. A tired Robin and Cyborg walked in. Robin sat down at the table and Cyborg began making breakfast. "What are you doing!" Beast Boy yelped. "Where's Desdemona!"
Robin shrugged and Cyborg yawned. After Robin came in Starfire. She yawned also and Beast Boy asked her the same question as she sat down. "Where's Desdemona?" He asked her.
"I do not-" Starfire yawned once more. "-know friend." She answered him. Raven walked in reading a book. She quickly walked a got her morning tea.
Beast Boy ran to her. "Raven! Where's your sister?" He asked.
Raven blinked and put her book down. She spoke in a monotone. "Probably out hunting demons. She doesn't sleep. She never learned how." Raven said rolling her eyes. She took her mug and book and sat down at the table also. Raven felt a sharp pain in her arm. "Yep she just got back." Raven stood up and walked to the window. "Oh and there's a nice littler guest. She has the seer with her." Raven rolled her eyes and sent a message to her sister while sitting back down.
A half an hour later Desdemona walked into the room wearing a Thomas Wylde diamond skull T-shirt and black jeans with black boots on. Her hair was down and completely straight. "Breakfast is final ready." Cyborg said turning around noticing Desdemona. She also had a book in her hand. "Oh. Hello. Would you like some breakfast?" He asked.
Desdemona shook her head and Raven looked up from her book. "What book do you have there?" She asked.
"'Nother demon one. 'Black as Death'" She told her sister. She walked over to a corner and sat down and began to read it.
"'Black As Death'? What's that one about. I've heard of it and I've read somewhere it was a hard to understand book."
"It's about…well let's see." She turned the book over and read it aloud. "Black as Death is a book full of wonders and dreams. As a so said deranged 16 year old girl finds her way around the new world she entered she slowly learns about her twin brother's death. After a few short weeks after the third year she has lived there she finds out she had killed her own brother. But can't find out why. While taking it out on the world she finds out more and more about herself. Venture into Black as Death and read your worst nightmare." Desdemona read.
"Hmm. You like those types of books?" Raven asked.
"Yep. Why?"
"Ever heard of 'Nothing is Purple but the Skin on Her Mind'?"
"Nope."
"Hmm. It's a good book. Too bad it's based on a true story." Raven said putting her book down and taking a sip of her tea.
"Really? So is this. I only read things based on the truth." Desdemona answered.
Beast Boy watched them go back and forth about some books. "What is wrong with you people? Today is the day Desdemona brings Terra back!" He yelled.
Everyone including Desdemona looked at him. "We gotta eat Beast Boy." Robin answered his mouth full. He swallowed. "What do you want us to do? Starve?"
"No but Raven and Desdemona is just talking about some silly books!" Beast Boy cringed in fear of Desdemona.
"Why are you cringing?" She asked.
"Because I barely know you and I called a book silly." He told her.
"Well stop cringing or I'll give you a reason to cringe. I hate it when people cringe when they think they said something stupid and think I'll fire at them. It's called judging before getting to know." Desdemona said standing up. She walked out of the room.
"Is she mad at me?" He asked Raven.
"No. She won't eat anywhere but drinks water in the morning. She's probably just getting her water out of her bag. It's probably warm too." Raven replied taking a small bite of pancakes. And sure enough Desdemona came back with a bottle of water and went back to the corner.
"You know we do have water here. We won't poison you." Cyborg told her.
She just shrugged and read again. "I told you I was only staying here to free Terra and then I'm getting out of this town and into the underworld. You didn't think I meant it?" She asked them.
"Raven told you to stay." The boy wonder said.
"I never listen to her. It's an impossibility at times. I went to the underworld last night and left with a few cuts. I'm alive and talking aren't I?"
"Yes well…" Robin couldn't think of anything else to say. He just kept on eating his breakfast.
"What? Frightened that you'll be accepted into this team?" raven asked in a mocking voice. The Titan's have never really seen her in this way. They guessed it was only because Desdemona was around but found it better not to ask either of them.
Desdemona opened her water and took a few gulps. Went she finished she closed the bottle and swallowed. "Mmm. Warm water. Ick. Yes well as a matter of fact. That's right." Desdemona said putting the water bottle down.
Robin dropped his fork on his plate and swallowed. He had finished. He picked up his plate and walked over to the sink. "Why are you frightened by the fact you might just be accepted onto the team?" He asked rinsing his plate.
Desdemona shook her head and pulled out a bookmark. It had the same mark she had used to summon Alex with. She put it in between the two pages 45 and 46. "Because for one I'd be putting you all in death danger and for two my sister is already on the team."
"Because you're part demon that putt's us in death danger?" Cyborg asked also taking his plate and putting it in the sink.
Desdemona nodded. "Yep. Because Trigion, I'm sure Raven told you about him already. Our father is still always after me. But this time instead of trying to teach me." She started. She took another gulp of her water, which she still didn't like, and went on. "He is now trying to turn me into the greatest evil ever known. Nice father huh?" She said sarcastically.
"So what if I'm on the team also. Just don't throw fireballs at me like last night and we won't even notice the other is there." Raven this time taking up her plate.
"Point one. I'm one year younger and will feel like a total dumb ass. Point two. You've been at this longer. Point three. It's hard not to not notice your not there if I've lived with you for 9 years and am about to live with you again. Point four. Throwing a fireball is the only way to shut you the hell up. Point five. I'm probably the youngest outta everyone here which makes me feel like an even bigger dumb ass. Must I name a point six? Because I only have six points."
"Yes. Name them all." Raven told her.
"Point six. I have all the same powers that you do and my demon powers are more of a kill power. I can tone them down but they will get hurt. Not mortally but some blood will spill. Oh and I just remembered two other points. Nope make that three. Point seven. I would put you all in death danger. Point eight. I suck at remembering things. Point nine. I don't listen to well. One other one. I know you have an alarm go off. Point ten. I'm one hell of a heavy sleep when I do sleep. All the points I have so far." Desdemona told her sister.
"Well let's see the points that really matter. Points two, three, four, six, and ten. Points one, five, seven, eight, and nine don't really matter to me. Although now that I think about it point one and five count very much to you and point four just is plain dumb."
"It shuts you up. Don't it? Then back off." Desdemona told her getting back to reading. Starfire put her dish in the sink and Robin cleaned hers off quickly. Then he dried them all and put them away.
Robin dried his hands and walked in front of Desdemona. "Well you ready to go and amaze us?" He asked her.
Desdemona nodded and stood up.
The Titans and Desdemona entered where Terra's stone had been made at. Beast Boy had lead the way. When everyone finally arrived there Desdemona pulled out a small baggie.
She opened up the bag of brown leather and pinched something inside. "A pinch of fairy dust." She threw it against the stone. "For protection of the body." Then she went inside her pocket and pulled out a feather. She placed it next to her feet. "For protection of the soul." She then reached in her small black bag. She pulled out a lighter and a piece of paper.
She lit the lighter and began to read off the piece of paper. "Flesh to flesh. Stone of stone. Let this flame light the path and revive the lost soul. Let the fire of demons surround in the body of speaking and open the stone. Let we now be free." She spoke down to the last word before it burnt. She then lit her palm with fire and threw it at the stone. The stone cracked and nothing was there.
"DESDEMONA! YOU KILLED HER!" Beast Boy screamed.
"Be patient boy!" Desdemona yelled.
A body draped in white cloths came floating down and was laid where the stone had once been. Her face was cover. The body gave a weak groan and under covered the face. It was Terra. Desdemona stretched out her hand and helped Terra up.
"What happened? How…how long was I out of it?" She asked them.
"About two years." Robin told her.
"Wow." She said. Terra then looked at Desdemona. "Who are you?"
"Desdemona Veronica Kright." She answered.
"Kright is no her real last name. She's my blood sister. She just decided to change it." Raven explained.
"Oh."
Desdemona backed up and Beast Boy looked at Terra. "Desdemona is the one that revived you."
"Beast Boy!" Terra yelped with a smile.
"Come on y'all. Let's all go back to the tower." Cyborg suggested. But when he turned around he didn't see Desdemona anywhere. But he did see a trail of blood. "What the- Raven come here." He said.
Raven walked over to him. "Yeah?" She asked. She then noticed the blood. "Oh. She…she must have had to do something."
"Well that's a lot of blood. By the time she makes it back to the T-car she'll of probably lost about a 12 ounces worth. If you'd like to put it that way." Cyborg said.
Raven quickly followed the trail of blood to find her sister and a demon battling. Everyone walked out to find the same.
Desdemona lit a fire ball and threw it at the demon who had just narrowly missed it. "You're a little 14 year old who can't even defeat a demon. HA!" Desdemona was done playing games. She pulled out a dagger and out of nowhere suddenly appeared behind the demon.
"Back off. Tell your little friends to back off. And I'll let your soul live also. Don't your soul dies also!" Desdemona whispered into his ear. Her eyes were pure blood red.
