Chapter 6
Terra
"Go away. You aren't welcome here. You know that. Now leave." I said. This wasn't going to turn out very good.
"But Raven, I missed you. You know that I did. Please give me a peck like you did to Robin." Red X said. He hasn't bothered me until Terra left.
((Flashback))
It was Christmas of last year. Beastboy had gotten up screaming and yelling, frightening all of us. Turns out he had snuck to the living room, with the Christmas tree and all of the gifts. He had organized the gifts so that he had all of his in a stack. That is when he opened up his Gamestation 2 That I got for him…and Cyborg.
"Beastboy, what is the meaning of this?" I had said, very rudely. I had been saving my money up for 6 months, and was number two on the waiting list for the second version of the Gamestation, and then Beastboy opens it up without Cyborg. "I bought that for both you and Cyborg…how dare you. This means tha…whoa!" Cyborg lifted me up into his bone crushing hug and replied all happy and giddy, "You did that Raven? They wouldn't let me on the waiting list for 'specified' reasons! I can't believe that you did that for us! Hey y'all! Rae actually does have a sensitive side!"
That Christmas was when Starfire got her first thong from me. I knew that she would like it because it seemed very Starfire-ish to me. Ever since then, she has been going crazy about them. I really don't like going to get them with her because she always shouts, "Look at all the different colors!" or "I think that you need this one!" and trust me, it really isn't very fun doing that.
Robin was the hardest to get something for. He had almost everything. I couldn't get him a computer because Cyborg gave him a top-of-the-line computer. I decided that I was going to get him a book about some of the greatest ninjas in written history. I decided that it was a good book, one that would last him a while, so I got it for him. Lucky enough for me, it was the third book of the series, and he needed it. "Hey, thanks Raven. I was going to buy this but they were out. I guess you got lucky. Thanks." I replied a little…oddly "Err, uhhhh, I guess so. Glad you like it."
Cyborg had gotten me a black candle as a present; Beastboy got me the 'Learn to be Happy Guide for Dummies,' Starfire had gotten me a few pink hair ribbons, and Robin had gotten me a new pendant for my cloaks.
After we ate our prime rib, which was disgusting by the way, because Beastboy had switched the real meat prime rib with his tofu prime rib, we all decided that we had wanted to spend some time alone with our newly acquired items. The only two that stayed together were Cyborg and Beastboy, who were fighting over what game they should play first. Well, at least they liked the gift that I bought them.
I was the last to go to my room, because I was on clean-up duty to do the dishes and vacuum. I had the whole kitchen to clean, and all of the wrapping paper. I didn't mind, though. I had gotten everyone what they wanted, which made me happy inside, because they were my friends, and that is all that I really wanted. To be accepted.
Once I was done cleaning, I went back to my room where I had laid all of my presents on my bed. I had put my hair ribbons from Starfire in my top drawer next to my pendant. I lit my candles, and put them on my dresser. I decided that I might look into my 'Happy Guide' from Beastboy, when someone had grabbed my arm.
"Sssshhhh. It is okay. It is just me." I didn't know who it was until I was turned around.
"Red X? Why are you here? What are you doing?" I asked. He had not yet let go of me, but turned me so that I could sit on his lap, which was very surprising, and plopped us down on my bed.
Now, you need to understand that at this time, the Titans did not yet know that Trigon was my father. Now, Beastboy and Cyborg knew my father, but they did not know who exactly the giant red guy was that they were fighting in my head a while ago.
"I know your secret." He said. I gasped. He didn't…how could he have known? It was impossible. "Why are you gasping? I won't tell everyone in the city about you and you being the end of the world unless you get me something. You have to get me something very special. What is this item, you ask? Get me Robin's journal. It has…things in it. Things that I need to do something very special."
"Why me? How come you can't do the so-called 'mission' on your own? Hmm? You know that the Titans will accept me for who I am…no matter what my past and future is. No leave, before I call the Titans!" I tried to scramble off of his lap, but I couldn't. Red X wouldn't let me.
"Because you don't have anywhere to go without the Titans. You'll be stranded. You are the perfect one to get me the notebook. And besides, it is too dangerous and risky for me to go into his room and then get it. You are his friend. You can get it. You get close to Robin…I'm sure that he likes you just like you like him. I've been watching you Raven. Watching you."
That was scary. I was being watched obviously a lot by a villain. "Stalker. I hate you. I won't ever do it. You know that I won't. I refuse to."
He hugged me. That was just plain old nasty. "But I love you…you know that I do Raven. If I didn't have a mask, you know that I would kiss you."
"Let go of me sicko! Get away from me!" With that, I shifted so that my butt was on his mid-thigh, and my feet were resting on his chest. I kicked him in the face, so then he let go of me, and he vanished.
((Present Day))
"Watcha thinkin' about, Raven? Me?" Red X said playfully. I wasn't in the mood to play. I wanted to hurt him so badly.
"If what you are asking, no, I didn't get the journal. No way. Robin is just a friend. So…go rob a bank or something like that." I said. I wasn't going to get Robin's journal…for Red X at least.
Red X growled, yes growled, and looked at me. "If you wanted to live, you would have gotten that journal for me!" Red X wrapped his left hand around my throat, turned me, and pinned me against the wall. I guess that this was it. I said my last words in my head, while Red X was whispering in my ear, "Say bye, bye birdie. This is your last day." I tried to get out of his grasp, but his hold on me was too strong, I could barely breathe, and couldn't muster up the strength to hit him.
"This is it Raven…this is it." Red X told me. Tears were streaming down my face. There were so many things that I didn't do yet that I wanted to.
I was about to pass out, when my whole room turned a bright yellow.
"You will let go of my friend!" Red X was hit by a giant rock in the back of his head. He had let go of me, and fallen to the floor. I gasped. The air that rushed into my lungs stung because of the lack of oxygen.
"Terra?" It was Terra. She somehow knew that I needed her, and she came for me.
"Sssshhhh…I'll explain everything in a min…" She was cut off by Robin and the others coming into my room.
"Raven? Is everything oka…" Robin stopped talking. I must have looked pitiful. When Red X moved me, my cape came off, and now, I was sitting, my calves tucked under my thighs, and my hands around my neck, gasping for air.
He came over to me, picked me up, and walked me to the infirmary. "You need to tell me everything what happened. Cyborg, you need to check and make sure nothing was damaged. Starfire, get Red X and come with me. Beastboy, Terra lets go."
While I was being checked by Cyborg, Everyone was sitting next to me…staring. It was embarrassing, that's for sure. "You're all set Raven." Just as Cyborg finished, Red X regained his consciousness. All he did was push a button on his belt, and disappeared. Robin grumbled how we would get him next time. "You guys go to sleep. I'm going to talk to the girls about this." Everyone but Terra left saying that we should talk in the morning.
"Terra, you go first." Robin said. "Well, it started out when Raven had found a remedy…" Our night was explaining what was going on. It was going to be a long night.
Please forgive me for the delay! I had a few problems, so I couldn't get this up and running! I am thankful to those who stay loyal and read this for me! I love you all! Why? Because you actually take the time to read my stories .
With all due respect, and I am sorry, and please review with truth,
