Chapter 6

OH THE UNSPEAKABLE HORROR! My school has finally banded from our internet! So I won't be able to post as much as I want, nor will I be able to read everyone's glorious posts! Which sucks because your reviews make my day every morning! T^T it's not fair! He had to wait until now to ban it? He could have at least waited until graduation! Though fear not I will still be posting, it just won't be until I get home. My apologies! Sigh but it really depresses me I can't even do my battle cry because of it….
Klarion-Well that sucks
Me-Tell me about it.

Raven sat in her room dwelling over the fact that her parents were gone. She had been lying there for hours—or so it seemed—there was no window in the room so she had no way of knowing what time of day it was. Though she assumed it was dark, she had no way of finding out, and she wasn't about to ask her imprisoner. That would involve speaking to him, and there was no way she could face him again. She could have been lying there for days, however she didn't dare ask him for the time.

"Stupid creep." She hissed, cursing the fact that he had made her cry over her parents. Sure her father deserved to die for all the things he had done to her in the past. But still. They were her parents! She sighed, and decided she would try to sleep. So she curled up into a ball—and she must have been more tired than she had originally thought because she fell asleep almost instantly.

Scritch Scratch

The next thing Raven knew there was a faint scratching noise that managed to wake her up—not fully however, she was still very much half asleep.

Scritch scratch

She groaned, what was that noise? Why wouldn't it stop? She just wanted to sleep again. Suddenly a thought came to her mind. what if it was Klarion come back to kill her?

Scritch scratch

Her heart raced so fast she thought it might burst as the sound grew closer. However she was still only half awake. However when she felt an icy hand grab her ankle her eyes flew open. She let out a gasp and sat up, but she didn't see anything. She breathed heavily as she tried to calm down, she then looked to her foot, nothing there. Suddenly she felt someone standing next to her bed, she froze and then turned her head slowly and saw a man tall and thin wearing a Black Sabeth Tee. He had one piercing, on his left earlobe and his har came just below his ears, dyed black. Raven froze as he glared at her with angry green eyes. Raven then looked down to see a large gapping and bloody hole in the center of his abdomen. She opened her mouth to scream however his hands shot out toward her throat.

"You…Witch…." His voice sounded like he was choking on water, only it wasn't water, it was blood, his hands tightened around Raven's neck cutting off her air supply, "Killed….me!"

Raven struggled for breath, as this…zombie like creature strangled her. She didn't recognize the man but apparently it knew who she was, as it called her name several time. His hands were cold as ice and his grip was iron. it felt as though somehow Raven had been transported into the world of Silent hill.

"Die…Die…murderer!" the zombie-man shouted. Somehow between Raven's strangling and her struggling for air she managed to get enough air in her lungs for her to scream. As much as she hated the idea of someone like the witch-boy to come to her rescue, she really didn't feel like dying either. Soon the door to her room burst open.

Klarion stared as he saw Raven lying on her bed. Despite whatever Raven was seeing he saw the truth. She was strangling herself with her hands. He panicked, and ran to her side casting a spell and placing her in a magic bubble. As soon as Raven was captured (poor choice of words) she immediately released her grip on her throat. Klarion sighed.

Just as Raven's vision began to blur the dead man that strangling her suddenly vanished. She sighed and began gasping and choking as she began to breath in precious air. She looked over to her captor who also looked relived. She curled up at the foot of her bed, and hugged her knees.

"Y-you saw that…right?" She stuttered, Klarion scowled, what did she see? He shook his head.

"What was it?" he asked evenly Raven bit her lip.

"A-a boy, he was dead, but…but he wasn't dead. He had a hole through his torso!" She cried, "He…he called me a murderer…"

Klarion bit his lip as Raven described to him what she saw. No doubt about it, it was Rick, the boy she had killed when she was with him before. He was a bookstore clerk who had used her and set her up to be raped. Her magic terrors were getting worse, now the apparitions were trying to kill her. In the middle of his thoughts he felt Raven lean into him and cry. He froze, not sure what to do about it.

"What was that? Why was it trying to kill me?" She cried, Klarion looked down at her and thought for a moment. This was the perfect time to comfort her, however what would happen if he did? Would she react so negatively toward him like before?

Suddenly Raven realized what she was doing with her captor and pushed him away—much to his dismay, she noted—she then rolled over so that her back was to him.

"Get out." She said trying to sound calm however her words came out shaky and uneven. She then felt a hand on her shoulder.

"If you're that scared," Her captor mumbled, "I could stay in here with you."

Then it suddenly hit her. Was he trying to scare her into letting him close to her? She sat up; that had to be it. He was going to get her to trust him, and then when she least suspected it, he would kill her—or something around those lines. She turned to her captor and glared.

"It was you wasn't it?" She shouted, Klarion suddenly went wide eyed.

"What?" He asked in surprise. Not all seeing this coming. Raven sat up on her knees and towered over her.

"You sent that horrible thing in here! Just so you can get me to let you in close!" She shouted, "You creep! How dare you! Do you have any idea how horrible that was?"

Raven went to hit again but stopped herself mid-flight. Her captor flinched a bit before he realized she had stopped, Raven then turned around and lied down.

"Just….just go!" She shouted.

Klarion sighed, and stood up from Raven's bed. He would just have to deal with it in the morning.

"Klarion's taken Raven off the grid." Nabu said, the justice League was having a meeting to discuss the recent transgression regarding their 'Raven' case. Nabu had tried to sense the girls aura, however like he had said, Klarion had taken her off the grid.

"So there's no way of knowing at all if Raven Blu has her memories back or not." Wonder Woman said, Nabu shook his head.

"No, Raven has yet to regain any memory of the past events." He explained.

"And how do you know this?" Superman asked.

"It was I after all who altered the girls memories." Nabu went on, "My magic isn't easily countered even by Klarion. That aside the girl's familiar had gone into a deep sleep after the ordeal, the creature has yet to stir from his deep slumber."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Plastic man asked, "If the cat asleep the kid's got no memory?"

"Seems that way," Batman said, "So as long as Raven's familiar is asleep…"

"Then we have a way of knowing if Raven's memories have come back." Wonder Woman said.

"This is insane, we should have put the girl into our custody instead of letting her go." HawkWoman said, "At least that way we wouldn't have to deal with this now. It could have been prevented."

"No sense in crying over spilled milk now." Flash said, "We'll just have to find the kid and hope Klarion hasn't done any real damage."

"Indeed." Nabu said.

Raven glared and slammed the bottom of her foot against the door, "Hey! I've been in here for two days!—I think—Lemme outta here! I can't stand not being able to tell what time it is!"

Raven kept kicking the door until it finally opened and she ended up kicking Abra Kadabra in the shin. He groaned in pain and then glared at Raven who crossed her arms and looked away.

"Oops, my bad." She said coldly, Abra Kadabra scowled, "Take me to your bratty master! I've got a bone to pick with him after last night!"

"Master Klarion…" He said through gritted teeth, "Is waiting for you in the front room. I'll take you there."

Raven huffed and took a step out of the room, purposely stepping on Abra's toe as she left, "Forget it, like I'm going to let some Bishi-creep like you keep me company."

Abra glared after her as he limped behind the goth girl.

"Though I suppose you're better than him." She hissed, Abra Kadabra scowled, but he soon replaced it with a smirk. That was an unusual response toward Klarion, but it definitely made Abra's day.

"Where is he anyway?" Raven growled, "Hurry up and take me to him!"

"This way." Abra said walking ahead of her, he then led Raven to the front room. it was large and fancily decorated in an old Gothic manor. Like the kind of stuff one would see in a modern day Dracula movie(those tend to suck btw). Raven looked around impressed at the style until her gaze fell on her captor. He sat in an old Gothic wooden chair looking at Raven with a solemn look on his face and his pet cat in his lap. Raven glared at him.

"Leave." Klarion growled to Abra. Abra Kadabra scowled but did as he was told and turned to leave. Raven narrowed her eyes.

"What do you want from me?" She hissed once Abra was gone. Klarion stroked Teekl's back and then looked to her.

"To talk…for now." He said, then pointed to the chair across from him, "Sit."

"Yeah, like I'm going to listen to you." Raven spat. Klarion sighed.

"I could make you, but I'd really rather not. So please, sit." He said, Raven cocked an eyebrow. His attitude toward her had suddenly gone soft. She didn't like it, but she sat down anyhow keeping a cautious eye on him.

"Yaknow I should hit you for what you did last night. That was really low, and right after telling me that about my parents." She said. Raven's captor looked to her but was silent before he spoke again.

"There are things I need to explain to you." He said calmly.

"Then explain, and start by explaining why you kidnapped me!" Raven said, Klarion nodded.

"I don't like the Justice League, and I don't like Nabu—or as you know him—Dr. Fate." He said, "however both of which are after you, take Zatanna for example she showed up to take you away from me."

"Away from you?" Raven asked, "Is this a joke?"

Klarion scowled, "I promise you I am not lying, you belong to me, and I won't let them take you from me."

"So what are you planning to do with me?" Raven asked. That when he captor gave her a sly grin.

"You have memories that are lost to you." He said, "About me, about the Justice League, and about yourself."

"What are you talking about?" Raven growled, he nodded.

"It's why you can never remember my name," He said, "And as for your parents, they've been gone for a while. Long before I came back."

"What are you talking about? I saw my father the other day, I think I'd know if he wasn't there." Raven said, then mumbled, "I certainly wouldn't have as many scars if he wasn't."

"You only saw him when he came to abuse you, isn't that right?" Klarion asked, Raven froze, how did he know about her father's abuse? "Other than that did you ever see your parents?"

Raven paused, come to think of it, he was right. The house was always empty unless it was dark. How did he know that? She looked to him and gave him a look of confusion.

"I'll assume by that look I was right." He said standing up. Raven flinched as he walked toward her, "He wasn't real. Your father has been dead for over a year now."

"W-what are you…"

"I told you, I know you, and I know you well." He said with a slight smirk, "But don't worry I know how to bring your memories back."

"How..?"

"I'll reveal that later." He said grabbing Raven's face between his thumb and forefinger and gave her a sly smirk, "But I need a little more time."

"Time? For what?" Raven asked glaring at her captor. He smirked.

"for Stockholm syndrome to take over." He said with an evil smirk. Raven stared and shook her head out of his grip.

"I'd kill myself before I let myself fall for you." She hissed. Klarion paused, the weight of her words sitting heavily on his shoulders.

"You wouldn't." he mumbled.

"Try me. I'm stubborn, I won't let myself succumb to you." Raven growled, Klarion glared and then took Raven by the arm and lifted her out of her seat, "You think with all the time and effort I put into you I'd let you just kill yourself, Raven?"

"I don't think so," He went on dragged Raven as he began to walk off toward the hall and back to her room once there he dragged Raven inside and threw her onto her bed "You belong to me, and I'm not going to let anything happen to my favorite toy. You're mine! Not the Justice League, not the Light's, MINE! You belong to no one but me! And I'll kill anyone who tries to take you from me! Even if that means I have to be rough with you!"

Raven stared in fear as he went off like he did, cursing the League and another person or group she wasn't familiar with. It went on for another few minutes until he finally calmed down. He breathed heavily and looked to her. she tensed and scooted away from him, in case he decided to do something else. Instead he turned, and slammed her door behind him. Raven let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile outside Klarion leaned against her door. Raven could call him a monster, she could curse his very existence, but nothing would set him off more than hearing her say she'd rather commit suicide than be with him. He would rather kill her with his own two hands then allow her to kill herself.

"Mine…you're mine…" He whispered to himself. Across the hall, Teekl looked to his master. This whole thing with Raven was going to drive him insane.

"Klarion…"

Ok so Klarion snapped a little, but hey if you put that much time an effort into a girl you'd want to do the same right? Ok maybe not, but you certainly wouldn't want her to kill herself right? Anyhow a virtual kiss to i love food for their wonderful review!
Klarion-NO! why!?
Me- haha you love it, See you later armadillos—unless I see you first haha! REVIEW!
