Chapter 11
In case you guys ever wonder why I always have the chapter# at the top of every chapter it's so it's easier to find when I go to save. It's easier than renaming the file. I tend to forget their up there. Sorry. Hah but it's not really hurting anyone is it? Unless words suddenly became animated creatures and—I'm rambling! Last chapter I ended on a slightly steamy part. I gotta tell you my heart was racing when I typed it. I use my school computer to type these and they monitor stuff like that. So it was like sneaking past a sleeping feral dog on that one. Haha ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!
It was morning by the time Raven got up from bed, Klarion had left some time in the night after her apology had worked. He was still pretty angry with her however, that much she could tell. She scowled, and felt around her neck where a bruise had formed. He had grabbed the collar around her neck and nearly choked her to death. She remembered seeing spots before he finally released her.
"Psychopath." She muttered, removing the collar.
"Oh no don't say that." Klarion's voice said, Raven froze and looked toward the door. It seemed his anger had woken up with him, as Klarion stood leaning against the door frame. Raven smirked.
"You nearly killed me with this thing." She said slipping the collar from around her neck. She then pointed to the wound. "See? Next time don't tighten it so much."
"You wore it."
"You liked it." Raven said with a smirk, Klarion scowled.
"Perhaps next time I should finish the job?" he offered, Raven fell silent. He was still mad at her for not finishing off Nancy the day before. She swung her legs over the bed and scowled.
"Is that why you nearly killed me last night?" she hissed, Klarion shook his head.
"No, that was just some fun on my part." He said with a smirk.
"Psychopath." Raven muttered standing up she was then greeted by Cherie rubbing against her legs. She looked back to Klarion, "I'm sorry."
"So what happened? I thought you wanted her gone." Klarion snapped. Raven frowned.
"I do want her gone." She snapped back then sighed, "I don't know what happened. One minute I was ready to finally be rid of her, the next…the next thing I know is she's shouting an apology."
"You think she meant any of that?" Klarion growled walking up to Raven until she pinned herself to the wall. She glared.
"Of course not!" She shouted, suddenly Klarion's hand shot out and slammed against the wall. Raven flinched and looked up at him.
"Then why didn't you finish her off?" He growled, his eyes showing the anger burning inside of him. Raven looked up at him.
"I-I don't know." She said, "I just don't, something just didn't want me to do it."
Klarion looked at Raven for a long time before finally settling down, he removed his hand from the wall and placed it under Raven's chin.
"Why do you care if she's gone anyway?" Raven asked in a small voice. Klarion paused for a moment.
"Because," He said in a smooth voice running his hand through Raven's hair, "I want to see my Raven in her former glory."
Raven was silent for a while before moving from his grip, "W-well what if I didn't want to kill her?"
"Why wouldn't you?" Klarion asked looked at Raven as she walked to the other side of her room. Raven crossed her arms.
"I…don't know. I just don't. a part of me actually believed that crap she spouted." She mumbled.
"What?" Klarion asked, his voice on edge. Raven looked over to him.
"You heard me, I don't know why, but I do. I think. I don't know something inside me won't let do it." She said, "And believe me, I wanted to do it…it's hard to explain."
Klarion scowled.

Meanwhile far away from Klarion and Raven, Jason blood sat in his living room when the location charm he had begun to glow. He looked over and scowled it had been a while since his battle with Klarion and Raven. It had been cut short when the Justice league had captured her and promised to keep Raven under control. It seems as though they couldn't keep that promise. Jason scowled.
"It seems I'll have to take care of Raven Blu myself." He said.

"Ok, this just plain sucks!" Nancy shouted standing in a safe house in metropolises, the justice League had taken her and her friends somewhere safe, in case Raven regained her senses and came after them. "I don't want to stay here."
"Sorry, but until we can capture Raven Blu, you'll need to be protected." Nightwing said, Nancy was quiet, even if she did run off she'd more than likely be back.
"What about school?" Kathrin asked. Nancy glared.
"Do you really think that's important right now Kathrin?!" She shouted, "With that crazy witch running around do you really think your stupid science test is important?"
"Hey, unlike you I have a future." Kathrin snapped back.
"Enough!" Nightwing shouted, the trio was beginning to get on his nerves. It was no wonder Raven wanted them dead. Nightwing sighed and rubbed his eyes with his thumb and forefinger, "Since this is in metropolis school really isn't going to matter."
"Speak for yourself," the Catherins said in unison. Nightwing glared, and the duo shut up.
"In case you haven't noticed you three are in danger." M'gaan said coming into the room, "Raven's going to come back, we may not know when but she will. Klarion will make certain of that."
"This Klarion guy, what…what is he?" Nancy asked.
"He's a Lord of Chaos," Zatanna said staring at the three, "His sole purpose is to bring chaos and torment to humans. He's evil, childish, and cruel, and he won't hesitate to kill you. Or push Raven to do it instead. Understood?"
Nancy and the Kathrins nodded silently. Zatanna gave a pointed nod, then looked to Nightwing.
"I'll watch them first. If Raven does come back anytime soon, I'll be ready this time." She said.
"Are you sure?" M'gaan asked, "One of us could stay with you."
"No, I'll do it. Raven's still in there somewhere, I plan on dragging it out of her." Zatanna said with a nod. "Besides I doubt anyone else could deal with their shallow attitude."
M'gaan and Nightwing made a face. Zatanna was probably right on that, Nightwing put a hand on Zatanna's shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She smiled back.
"I'll be fine." She said, "Go, there are other things that need dealing with."
M'gaan and Nightwing nodded and then left the safe house to go back to the Cave. Zatanna looked to the trio that stood before her. None of them really wanted to be here, even Zatanna had to admit there were a million other people she'd rather spend her time with than Nancy and her Kathrins—Fate for example, would have been better company.
"So now what?" Nancy asked, Zatanna frowned.
"Lay low and stay inside." She said, "I'm going to put up a barrier so that no one outside the League can come in."

Raven sat in the middle of the floor of her room. Klarion had left for the Light, so she had to stay in her room. It was the only way they would think he was done with her. Raven scowled as Cherie Curie mewed and rubbed his head against his master's shoulders.
"Cherie," Raven said after a long moment of silence.
"Hmm?"
"Why do you think I couldn't do it?" She asked, she was still seething from not being able to follow through with Nancy. Cherie groaned.
"I do not know, but do not worry much Raven Dear." He purred.
"He's still mad at me." Raven muttered. Cherie meowed and climbed up to Raven's shoulders. He then nuzzled Raven's neck.
"Klarion is Klarion, he's going to be angry. For how long I don't know." He said, "Though does it really matter dear Raven? You are back, and full of memories and magic."
"I'm not." She said looking ahead, Cherie sighed, "Not even a month ago, I could kill Rick without hesitation, I had no remorse when Klarion had Teekl maul that other boy…Creg. So why do I find some kind of hesitation when it comes to the person who set it all in motion?"
"Perhaps it's the fact that you are indeed human?" Cherie asked, Raven scowled.
"Well I don't like it!" She growled, "I don't like this feeling that I can't do anything to Nancy Kesha."
"If that's the case," Klarion's voice said popping out of know where next to her. her slid his arms around her waist and placed a hand under her chin, "I just might know a way to fix that."
Oh no Raven might be in some real trouble now. Both from Etrigan and maybe even Klarion. On a side note WTF?! Have they done to Teen titans!? I watched the second show, because despite the fact the show sucks the voices behind them just rock. What have they done to Raven's father Trigon?! He went from BIG AND BAD DEMON OVER LORD!...to this sitcom father figure crap. What happened to our show? Gimme back YJ!
