Chapter Two: Innocence
It was new a new day today. Raven's eyes opened as she sat up in her small bed. Once again, she wished she had a clock, although it did not really matter what time it was.

It had been so long since she had meditated, Slasher would not allow her to because he did not want her to have control. Raven no longer despised Slasher because she no longer felt anything, including hate.

Every second of her life Raven thought about her friends. She wasn't even sure if her friends were still friends or if they were even still alive, but the thought that they were kept her sane, even if she knew she would never see them again.

Raven was a monster now and she knew it, although she couldn't feel hate towards others, she hated herself. No one could forgive her for what she had done, especially her own conscience. It would be for the best if she never saw Beast Boy again because then he would remember her as a hero and not the demon she had become.

"I have another job for you," Slasher said as he stood in the open door.

Raven was pulled out of her thoughts by the demon's deep voice. "Yes," Raven said.

"Same as always, leave no survivors."

"Yes, Master," Raven felt nothing when she called him that now, she had already lost her pride. Standing from the bed, Raven picked up her cloak and fastened it around herself.

"You really need to get out more. When was the last time you had a date?" Cyborg hadn't aged much, but the human side of his face was a little older looking.

"Never," Beast Boy replied truthfully. Ever since Raven had been gone he had been more serious, although he still told his stupid jokes and loved video games. Beast Boy had gone through his growth spurt, he had grow almost a foot and his voice was deeper, though not fully developed yet. He was also more muscular, but not as big as Cyborg or Robin, Beast Boy didn't like to work out. Beast Boy's face was sharper and more defined looking too, he was very handsome now.

"You've barely left the house since Raven left. I thought you'd be over her by now. I mean I know you liked her, we all did, but it's been three years," Cyborg was worried for his friend, Beast Boy rarely left the tower unless it was for a mission.

Beast Boy sighed, he would never "be over" Raven. An eternity could not change the way he felt about her, let alone a few years, but Cyborg could never understand. "I know," Beast Boy said weakly staring straight ahead at the video game he was mindlessly playing.

"Hey you want some breakfast?" Cyborg asked, changing the subject. Walking into the kitchen after standing behind Beast Boy who was on the couch, Cyborg entered the kitchen.

"Does it have meat?" Beast Boy already knew the answer to his own question.

"What doesn't have meat?"

"Tofu doesn't have meat in it."

"I ain't cookin' none of that tofu junk."

"Why not? Tofu is good, you just never give it a chance."

"Whatever. No one even knows what's in that tofu."

"It's just soy beans."

"Beans aren't supposed to taste like meat. Only meat should taste like meat," Cyborg pulled a large slab of frozen bacon out of the freezer and threw it on the frying pan on the stove. Immediately the meat began to sizzle. "Come on B.B., you know you want some."

"Do you even know what that stuff is? I'll tell you what it is, that's pig flesh."

"Who cares? It tastes so good. Be a man and eat it," Cyborg had tried the peer pressure approach several times.

"If eating that makes me a man than I am fine being a kid forever," Beast Boy seemed to be immune to that approach.

"Are you two arguing about meat again?" Robin asked. Walking through the door was Robin and Starfire. They had been inseparable for the past month.

Robin had grown a lot, he was much taller and he had worked out. He kept his hair the same style and he never went without his mask. Starfire had matured a bit, but hadn't changed much, she still had trouble with her English and had an unusual love for mustard.

"Don't you ever get tired of fighting about that?"

"No," Cyborg responded bluntly.

Sighing Robin sat down next to Beast Boy and Strafire followed him. The couple had been dating almost 5 months now. After watching their nonstop flirting for so long, Beast Boy and Cyborg were going insane. Everyone was happy when Robin and Starfire first went out.

Sighing, Beast Boy set the game controller on the coffee table in front of him as the screen flashed "Game Over."

"Something wrong? You didn't really seem to be trying on that game," Robin asked Beast Boy.

"Huh? Oh. No, I'm fine. I guess I'm just tired," Beast Boy answered sounding rather bored. The reason why he had lost the game so easily was because he was thinking about Raven.Cyborg had reminded him of hisdead love and seeing Starfire and Robin together didn't help."I'll see you guys later," Beast Boy said as he stood and walked out of the room.

"I guess that just leaves us," Robin said playfully to Starfire, who gave a small giggle.

Cyborg cleared his throat loudly. "I'm here too," he reminded them.

Walking into his messy room, Beast Boy looked around. Climbing up on to his bed, he grabbed a picture from beneath his pillow. The picture was worn and bent from being looked at so much. In the photo was the whole, but in this particular shot he had his arm around Raven's waist. Raven was smiling in the picture too, it was a weak smile, but Beast Boy knew it was sincere and he loved it. He had several other photos, but this one was by far his favorite. Gently he rubbed the picture with his thumb and his eyes began to water.

This job would be just like the others, Raven expected nothing new or different. When she arrived it did not seem like a large crowd, only 9 people were in the house. It looked like some sort of party or get together.

First, Raven killed 5 people in one of the rooms. The walls were now splattered with blood and corpses cluttered the floor.

Then she moved into the next room which occupied three people. She slaughtered them easily and quickly, but there was one person missing. Often one person would try to run away or hide. Being very silent, Raven could here heavy breathing coming from a cupboard in what appeared to be the kitchen. The cupboard was closest to the ground than the others.

Slowly opening it, Raven saw a small child inside. The kid was probably about 6 or 7 years old. Raven stared at the frightened child, he was shivering tremendously with his head between his knees and crying softly. The child had just watched his parents be murdered. Raven had never killed a child and she refused to do so. The child had done nothing wrong, he was innocent. The sight was pitiful and Raven felt terrible. She had orders to kill everyone and that included the child, she had no choice.

Raven had transformed into her normal form and she reached a trembling hand out to the child. Lightly touching him, she felt him jump at the contact. Looking up with tear filled eyes, the child didn't know what to do.

"Where's my mommy?" the boy asked Raven. "I need my mommy!"

"Your mother is gone," Raven said softly with guilt in her voice.

"What? She can't be. I need her!" the child's lip quivered as tears began to flow again.

"Everything will be alright," Raven tried to comfort him.

"No! I need my mommy!" he pushed past her and ran into the room with the bodies. Looking around, the child found the corpse of his mother. Running to her, he collapsed next to his mother. "Mommy wake up," he pleaded as he lay his head on her dead body.

Raven watched from behind the boy. She knew what she had to do, even if it was the hardest thing ever. Lifting a shaking hand, Raven used her powers to snap the young boy's neck. He died painlessly next to his mother. Raven almost began to cry, she never wanted to kill such an innocent creature again.

Slasher teleported her away from the horrid sight and into her spotless room.

"I killed a child," Raven whispered to herself, letting the information sink into her mind.

"You had to, the child could not survive without its parents," Slasher reasoned.

Raven didn't believe that, nothing could justify what she had just done, what he had just made her do. She could not forgive him or herself for that. No child deserved that, no matter what.
