"Raven, a photo booth come on."you grab hold of her and drag her off to the photo booth.
The others watch you push her inside and you jump after her pulling the curtain back."Well she jumps right back."Jaime said."And who would have thought she could Raven to take pictures."
"Wonder if we can take some?"Gar thinks about it.
Jaime shakes his head at him, Starfire just smiles turning back the photo booth, five flashes went off and you and Raven step out. You wait eagerly for the photos to be printed, all the while Raven's eyes studied you,worried and suspicious. The others meet up with you both, Damian noticed the way she was looking at you, prompting him to look at you. There seem nothing out of the ordinary, you had you smile on which he no doubt felt it was a ruse to mask your displeasure for being here, yet then again, it didn't seem like it. Your smile was genuine.
The pictures finish, grabbing the strip you look at each one, a total of five. You though smiled the most out of you and Raven, though on the last one there seem to be a rather faint smile. But one none the less.
"Here."you give her the strip."You can have it."
Raven was a bit surprise."...Are you sure?"
You nod assuring her it was."Yeah, we're practically like sisters."
Her hand stops an inch before taking the strip, looking at you shocked for a second by what you just said."..."
You smile at her, putting the strip in her hand."Right? I mean we're family right? All of us. Keep it, you never know moments like this, don't last forever."
The way you said sounded a bit eerie and cryptic, her eyes never left you nor did your smile. Something didn't seem right, or maybe she was just reading too much into this, because next thing you just started to giggle for no reason, turning back to everyone.
"Shall we keep having fun?"Starfire said heartily.
The night went rather well, you enjoyed it well. Going to different game booths to play, Gar played a shooting game which he won a few tickets. Flashing it in Jaime's face, who then showed him up by doing the Ring the Bell. Which he used the Scarab that gave him extra strength and he broke the bell off, luckily the man didn't question he was way to stun at what Jaime did. Then came the ring toss which Raven did along with Damian who was hesitant at first but won the mots tickets out of everyone. When it came to you to do your game, Gar insisted you play Whack a Mole, but you choose: Basketball. It was just going to be you, until someone else showed a rather muscular athletic build man, with a cocky look. He was a lot taller than you, when he saw he was facing you, he just laughed. Which bother the others, mainly Jaime and Gar. Once the bell rang balls went flying, swishing, swooshing in the nets. The timer buzzed and the winner: You.
Having gotten all your balls in, unlike the other guy who only managed to get two out of the five. You pick your prize a stuff wolf plushie. You gave it to Raven instead, which she took. A few more games where played, you played with Jaime the most out of everyone. And most of your time with Gar, even linking your arm with his, laughing with him or at what he said. Much to Gar joy, but not another's. Starfire was just happy to see everyone bonding and getting alone, a few times you pull Raven with you to go do something or try to get her. Had her a partner on a few rides, then would switch between Jaime and Gar, who tired to get you to go on the Tunnel of Love. Hinting at it heavily, to be foiled a few times by Damian inconspicuous about it. You did another photo booth with Jaime and Gar, than with Starfire, then Starfire and Raven. The only time you actually mingled with Damian was if you needed to say excuse me or needed to go around him. He remained rather stale towards you, which you didn't seem to notice.
Being wrapped up with all the fun going on around you, the best part though doing DDR in the center of everything. When you saw it, you put things down go to the game. Waiting for your turn, when it came you went up against a few people fairly well. Thanks to all the practice you had with Jaime and Gar in doing this, matching your footwork with the symbols and beat to the music was rather easy, that is until Jaime came to challenge you. It started off easy at first, until Jaime flashed you a arrogant smirk and you knew right then he was just going easy on you. This time he leveled up. The crowd for you both, you do your best keep up with him, but, that didn't happen. He smoked you winning by a few hundred points.
"Maybe next time, Hermana."he playful says with pity. While turning around enjoying the crowds cheering.
It didn't bother you, you accept your honorable defeat. Getting off the stage, Gar comes behind you."Don't worry Vi, I'll avenge you."he tells you with a chivalrous smile, turning to Jaime with a cocky look."Ready whenever you are."
You hear the game start behind you as you make your way back to Starfire, Raven and Damian. Taking a seat at the table, you pick up you half eaten nachos and watch the two of them go at it, cheering them on along with the rest of the crowd. Turning around to find Raven looking at you weary. You just smile at her and offer her nachos but she declines. Instead walks over to you.
"Hey, can we talk?"she whisper to you. Unsure why she wanted to, you agree placing your food tray down and follow her. Just a few feet away from Starfire. Feeling there was a enough distance to have the private conversation with you, she starts talking."Violet, did something happen to you?"
"Happ-No, I don't think so, why?"you give her a puzzled look."Is this about when everyone couldn't find me?"
"Yes."she says directly."Was there...by any chance-Look, there are somethings you-"she kept pausing trying to figure out how word what wanted to say carefully. You just stood there waiting for her to tell you, even if you seem a bit lost. Which it was clear to her you had no idea what she was trying to tell you.
Maybe, it's just my imagination. She thought. Still, why do I get this feeling...
"Raven, are you alright?"you start to become worried noticing how she looked.
Something seem to spook her, you get ready to repeat the question, her arm shoots out in front of you protectively."Go back with Starfire."She orders you.
"Raven, what's wro-"
"Now."she demands this time. And without another word melts into the crowd.
"Raven..."
Looking back over at the others, you disobey Raven and trail after her. Raven was able to leave the other undetected without anyone noticing. Making her way to the outskirts of the carnival, on the hill beyond the tent, away from everyone else. Into a more disclosed area, she carefully scans her surroundings, being cautious and ready.
"Sister!"raspy dark voices call to her. She turns around to find a red skin demon with four red glowing eyes."He wants you."
Feeling more presence, Raven finds herself surrounded by more of the creatures, manifesting themselves."We've missed you sister."
Realizing who the emissaries where she is stun and in disbelief."It can't be him, it's a trick."
To be proven wrong."It is me, child." their was only who had a voice so deep, dark and powerful, she knew of. One in which she was sure to never hear again. A voice that she couldn't believe was here. But her eyes saw it to be true, there coming towards her without a physical form but a in his incorporeal spirit form, still shook the earth and emitted nothing but evil and power.
Trigon. Her father.
"How?!"Raven in utter shock to see his presence.
"Never leave unfinished, what you start."he said."You fled."
To which Raven refused to believe."I left. I had you."
"Yet, here I am."
"If you where really here, I'd smell your stink." Raven said with little fear and more so proving her point."All you could send where these losers."
"I will there. It's our destiny to be together, Raven. Always."the demon in some twisted way tries to sound sentimental."You can make that happen. Don't you want to be a family? I know she does."He lifts his head looking pass his daughter."Would you really deny, her that?"Realizing who he was talking about, Raven turns around quickly to find you standing there confused and frighten.
"R-Raven?"you look at her petrified at what was before you eyes. Demon looking creatures and some sort of dark, powerful spiritual form of either some sort of demon, with four eyes looking straight at you with such a powerful gaze. Straight into your soul, you felt his eyes burning it. It hurt, clenching your heart you drop to your knees.
"STOP IT!"Raven tires to get to you, but the emissaries stood in her way, blocking her. Biting her anger she turns back around to Trigon."Let her go! Leave her alone! I won't let you hurt her."
"I'm not the one hurting her."Trigon claims. Pointing an accusing finger at his daughter."You're the one who tired to keep her hidden from me. You wouldn't let her come home. Back to her family, her father."
"You're not her father, nor mine. You cause nothing but pain and suffering." Raven throws back."You've given us nothing but a Hellish life, I had to protect her from you. I won't you sink your influence into her and corrupt beyond what you have already done." A malice giggle came behind her."Oh no!"Raven turns around to meet with a back hand to the face, that sent her flying a few feet to the ground.
Receiving minimal damage, she gets up and to her horror to find standing before what had tired to prevent since day one. All those times she came to visit you in your dreams, doing meditation, putting any charm on you to keep you protected from...this. Locking away Trigon in hopes to stop this. But it didn't matter, all of it was just futile. Trigon watches with glee and pride. As his child attacks Raven mercilessly with joy.
Down with the others, Damian had decided to take on Gar with DDR and ultimately beat him a victory that was short lived, frighten and panic screams caused those around to quickly disperse, but, Starfire and the others they look to see what the threat was, and see Raven crash down surrounded by the demonic emissaries.
"Raven!"Starfire yells."Titans GO!"She tells the others, each of them transform into their attire except for Damian who had to run back to the car to get his gear.
Suited and ready, the Titans hurry to Raven's assistance. Starfire catches her, which Raven tells her what the creatures are."Their demonic emissaries. My father sent them."
"You're father?"Starfire was shocked to hear."Wait? Where's Viol-"
Before Starfire could even finish Raven pushes her away, separating away the two of them just in time while dodging the incoming attack on her. Taking the higher grounds Raven looks down at the dust that conceal her attacker. "You need to snap out of this!"
Four red eyes flash towards her through the dust, paying no mind to what she had to say and instead leap straight up at her. They try to strike her, but Raven manages to put a shield and deflect it just in time. Throwing them into one of the booths. She knew that didn't stop them, they rush her knocking her back into a booth as well. They take this chance to over power Raven, with their dark hand drawn back, nails now sharp as claws charged with dark energy with dark grey outline thrust it at Raven.
"I don't think so!"Jaime now as Blue Beetle, fires a shot blasting them away from Raven. He gets down and helps Raven up."You okay?"
"Yeah."Raven tells him. Looking in the direction he blasted her attacker."She's not going to stay down." Raven gets ready taking the higher ground again leaving a confused Jaime.
"She?"
The others kept going, all the while Starfire was trying to Violet. She hadn't seen any sign of the girl since this all happened, come to think of she didn't even noticed she wondered off again. The idea of something dreadfully happening to the girl, Starfire wouldn't know how to break the news to Dick, even if she knew the girl could take care of herself well. The others hadn't seen any sign of Violet either. There was the possibility she got swept up in the crowd when they fled the place, but she was Titan and she would come to assist the others. Right now they could use her negative emotion absorbing powers with these creatures.
Getting knocked down by one of the creatures Raven quickly shields her and Starfire, next came Jaime who was struggling too, Raven shields him, lastly Gar came flying over, so Raven just shields everyone in one of her domes. To hold off the creatures that came on all three sides, corner everyone, if not for Damian who came just in the nix of time taking out the creatures that easily regenerated, but thankfully they could not maintain their form once their energy became depleted.
Everyone was to engage them until they wore out, easier said than done. Robin and Blue Beetle handled one, Starfire and Raven had another and Beast Boy took one by himself, though he would have had a partner if Violet was here. That didn't stop any of them, they gave the creatures everything. Over where Jaime managed to knock back Raven's attacker, their hand shoots up and begins to pull themselves up, quickly feeding off the negative energy to heal themselves, their eyes look around for one person, Rave. Locking their four eyes on her, go to take her out.
Snarling at the sight of her, burning desire and hate flashed in their eyes on the girl. Feeling their presence, Raven having just finished destroying the demon turns around seconds to late to be tackled down hard and ruthlessly. Shocking and surprising everyone.
"What the heck!"Gar freaks. They hear Raven struggling against something or someone. It was hard to tell who or what it was that had attacked Raven this time, it didn't matter, their teammate was in trouble. They race to help her, when a backlash of energy fires at them. It hits three of the four, Damian managed to avoid getting his, with his blade drawn he swings it forward at the creature jumping at with a spinning kick. Hitting them back while striking them with his blade, dropping down in front of Raven ready to go.
"I would advise you t-"His eyes widen stun at who it was before his eyes, healing the gash wound from his blade. Just in complete shock his grip on the hilt loosens.
Though their back was turn to him, he knew that body frame well enough, despite the changes it had. They began to turn around, having dark grey reddish skin, sharpened nails, black markings on their skin, from their hands to their elbows ebony black, attached to their tail bone swinging back and fourth a demon's tail with ruffle of fur at the end, four red burning eyes, sharper canines smiling maliciously at everyone , their hair was no longer black instead it changed to white. They weren't human looking anymore, taking on a more demonic appearance. The cold and uncaring looking they gave to everyone who just didn't know what to make of this. Trying to wrap their head around what was in front of their eyes.
This couldn't be the same teammate they just spent a good time with, the same one who came to them six months ago to be apart of their team. The one who would be dragged into things despite not wanting too, spar with Jaime and share laughs with Gar. The tender girl who Starfire grew to adore and watched for Dick, the girl who was under care, now to be this. But for Damian, he understood about her transformation, but this...this was much more. They almost mirrored that strange entity he saw in Raven's mind when she healed him. This couldn't be, be...
"Violet?"Damian finally speaks.
Hearing him say your name, you look his way annoyed and angry. Sensing his emotions, you smile with joy."Violet, Violet what happened to you?"Starfire looks you up and down still trying to wrap her mind around it, assuming one those things might have...
Raven finally stands up."Violet. Don't let him. Whatever he said to you, is nothing but a lie. All of it. You don't understand what kind of creature he is! He will cause nothing but death and Hell for everyone. You have to resist him. That's wh-"
You stomp your foot silencing her."Shut UP!"you hiss at her. Seeing the fear and shock on their faces made you smile."I don't give a damn what he does. You where trying to prevent him from getting to me. You where being selfish, Raven."you accuse her."We could have been a family. All three of us, but you wouldn't let it happen. You tired to prevent that, he understands what I want. My own cousin was nothing but a lie. A LIE! Nothing hurts anymore.."you look at yourself simply with relief."The pain...all of it...it's gone now. It just all gone and he made it happen. That's what a father's suppose to do, make it all go away. He set me free from everything, I never understood before why...why I was this way. But now I do. And you, Raven."You step to her."You will help our father, even if I have to kill you myself...which I might as well!"you lung at her, before Damian could react and the others.
Your hands wrap around her throat tightly, you began to squeeze the life out of her."VIOLET! STOP!"Starfire yells at you, she and the others had no choice but to attack you. Each of their attacks hit you off Raven. The princess gets down to check up on Raven who was fine. Seeing this disgusted you.
Picking yourself up, you glare at them."They can't save you forever, Raven. You will release him. You'll have no choice, then...then...I'll have..."you stop yourself with final look of hate and locking eyes with Damian, snapping your fingers your energy surrounds, and you vanish.
"...Okay what the Hell is going on?"Gar freaks a bit."I mean, why is Violet..What is going on?! Father? Are you and Violet?"
All eyes fall on Raven, who guilt and shame was clearly visible."Raven,"Starfire approaches her calmer."What's going on."
Staring down at object in her hand, Raven lifts her head to everyone. Holding out the pictures from the photo booth of you and her."Violet as you all know her, is more than Nightwing's cousin, she is my sister. My younger sister. "
