Chapter 6: The Secret to the Curse of the Island
Everyone met Raven's eyes in aw as she finished her story. Even Terra looked at Betsy with gratitude for her actions. Betsy smiled slightly, feeling slightly uncomfortable with all the admirable looks.
"Like most of you, I used to be a normal human," Betsy explained before anyone brought up the question. "I was traveling to Rome when our flight crashed here on this island." She glanced nervously at Raven who nodded as she sat down close to Beastboy. "I was the only survivor of the crash. When I left the shore to travel the forest path, I discovered a race of bazziaze dinosaur creatures, called Relation's. I was captured and brought forth into their temple. Seated almost in a throne, sits a large pearl-like orb that shines like a star.
"That orb transformed me into the beast you now see before you," Betsy explained sadly, her head drooping. "Then they chained me to the temple to serve as it's guardian for all of time."
"Can we ever change you back?" asked Beastboy sitting up.
"No, I afraid it's too late for me," mumbled Betsy, "But I at least know how to lift the curse."
"How?"
"We have to break the orb and release its dark energy," Betsy said pawing the ground with her foot.
"That's it?" said Terra, "We break it and the curse is lifted?"
"It's not that easy," Betsy hissed, "No human or machine or Tamerain can break it."
"Then what can?" asked Robin puzzled.
"A demon," Betsy breathed, "Only a demon can survive the outburst of black energy."
All eyes rested on Raven, who backed up, "Who me? But I'm only half-demon!"
Betsy mumbled, "Still if your part demon, you can do it. There's only one problem, the release of dark energy it may…"
"May what?"
"Corrupt you," mumbled Betsy as Raven stared with wide eyes.
