Chapter 13
I'm awake but my eyes wont open. It is like there are heavy bags over them. I lay and think. I try to remember everything that happened last night, but I cant. It is like that memory has faded, and all I can think about is Beastboy.
I love and miss Beastboy so much and I can't even imagine what he's thinking. That is when I remember.
I remember now why I cant move my eye lids or even move one arm. I am so sore that I can't stand it. It is like every inch of me is in pain from the workout I had last night. Time is still and I feel numb. I force myself to get out of bed where Daniel is still asleep and walk over to the bathroom.
I feel so much pain and sorrow that I feel this strong urge to cut. But then as soon as I have the razor blade out and an inch away from my bare arm, it's like Beastboy is right there next to me, shaking his head. The thought of him makes me put the blade down and instead I slip into the shower.
I feel this strange sense of power as I throw the razor back into the drawer. Maybe, just maybe, I can overcome this addiction and stop bringing harm to myself. But as I slip into the shower, I hear the bathroom door close and lock.
Good, Daniel locked me in, and I can have some time to myself to just think. I turn the water on and soap down my body. Maybe just maybe, I can get this dirt and disgusted feeling off me. I hate myself and what I did last night, and I can't believe I actually obeyed every word that Daniel told me. But I guess it is not my fault. He forced that cream down my throat. That cream is what made me want him, what made me obey. But even so, why did I have to like it so much. It is my fault, I should have fought harder. I should've…
I feel a hand on my shoulder that swings me around so hard that I actually fall and hit my head.
"Daniel…I thought you locked me in…" I gasped.
"No, baby, I lucked us in and intruders out...just in case that cream stopped working and you remember to start time and call Beastboy. He can't get to us. The doors and walls are made of steel that a demon can't even get threw without a key."
I sigh…just wonderful…
"Now, I want you to wash me, wash every inch of my body. I need a rub down." He says. He is really perverted. I hate him so much, yet I feel my hands start to move towards the soap and I realize I am still in his control. I rub the soap in between my hands and place it back into it's place.
I begin to massage Dan's shoulders and then his entire back. Then I work on his behind and then his legs. When I come back up, I skip his dick and start on his abs. I massage his chest and muscles and his neck. I soap down his arms, and then his ears, and scalp.
"Don't do my face…" he orders, and so I don't. When every inch of his body is covered with soap except his dick, I linger for a second before my hand is forced upon it. My fingers graze over his thick staff and massage their way down. I gently squeeze his balls and massage him there. When I am finished with my chore, he grabs my arms and pulls me up to his level. "Now that wasn't too hard, was it?" he smiles and kisses me, forcing his tongue inside of me.
His hands roam my entire body, as he moans for me to stand still. I do as he says as he grabs the soap and works on my body. He rubs me first at my shoulders and wraps his arms around me to my back. But he brings his arms around fast and starts massage my hard breasts.
I wasn't expecting what he does next. He pushes me against the wall and picks me up a little, shoving himself inside me. I feel disgusted as he brings himself back out a little, and shoves himself again inside me. I am so dirty, and I'm standing inside a shower. He moves in and out hard that once again, I feel like my pelvis will break. My head is pressing hard against the shower wall, my eyes closed. This continues until I scream so loud that I can barely hear myself think.
Afterwards I stumble out of the shower and wrap the towel around my wet body. He follows me out and takes the towel I'm clinging onto and wraps it around his own body. "No need to be shy, sweetie. It's just us, and you are not going to leave the room, right? I'm going for a walk, don't leave the bedroom or I'll kill you."
"You would never kill me, you need me."
"You will wish that I did kill you by the time I am finished with you."
"I won't leave, I can't anyways. You know just as well as I do that once you give an order I must obey it." I say, curtsying, "Master." I bow my head low and submit myself to him. It is all an act, but what else can I do but play along right now.
Daniel leaves the room and I walk out. He is completely dressed as he flies off into the horizon.
I look around the room for an extra towel or something, but the only thing I find is the sheets of the bed. He stole all of my clothes and everything. That asshole. I take the comforter of the bed and wrap it around my cold and wet body. I sit down, shivering, as I close my eyes and contact Beastboy. No answer. That's when I remember that I stopped time last night. Every second that time is stopped, Daniel grows stronger. I quickly bring time back up to speed and try to contact Beastboy again.
"Beastboy?"
"Raven! You stopped time again! How could you?"
"It's a long story. I didn't cut though. I almost did, but I put the razor away."
"What's going on? Please, we need to know."
"Daniel is a demon. My father chose him to rule evil, but he can't become king of it until he marries the princess of evil. Does that make sense?"
"Yeah…I think so. So your father basically set up an arranged marriage for you?"
"And I need your help to get out of it. This guy has this cream that is used for sex, but also when it's in affect, I not only…well, I'm not going there, but I obey him. It's like I have absolutely no control Beastboy! Can't you come here? Daniel is gone for the day."
"Okay, we're on our way."
"Thank you."
"And I'll tell the others about your step to recovery today."
"THANKS!"
"No problem. They deserve to know."
"Beastboy…"
"What?"
"Shut up and get over here now, I don't know how long he's going to be."
I open my eyes and walk over to the mirror where I brush my hair and pull it up into a loose bun. I take a look at my eyes and look away disgusted. The darkest circles are under them, but I don't cover them up. I instead, grab some eye liner and mascara and put some on. That's all I use, just to look like I got ready a little. Especially considering that I am just wearing a bedspread. I found a bra that I left a long time ago and some of Dan's boxers that I slip on. I continue looking through his things and I put on one of his shirts. His pants wouldn't ever fit over my hips.
I walk over to the open window and stare out it until I see a green crow carrying a metal man and Starfire carrying Robin. I quickly make the bed and take a peek under the it where there is some space where they can hide, but if I really need to, I can transport them downstairs where they can make a quick get-away.
"Raven!" Beastboy falls inside the window and gives me a huge hug. "We're leaving, come on."
"No." is all I say.
"Come on!" Starfire grabs hold of my hand, dragging me to the window. She flies through, but I'm still standing there. My feet feel like there are nails pinning them to the floor.
"I can't go."
"Why, Raven? You really want to stay?" Beastboy sounds hurt.
"No…I really can't leave. He ordered me to stay and that means I have to stay. I have no choice in the matter. It's like my body moves uncontrollably and does just whatever he says."
Beastboy walks over to the nightstand where I see the jar of cream out. Shit shit shit…I don't want him to see it…but for some reason every time I try to touch it, my hand phases through it. It's almost like it's made just for me, so that I can't get rid of it.
"What's thi-." He starts to read the label. "Did he use this on you? This is the stuff you were telling me about?"
"It makes me obey every command he gives me…I'm still under his control." I answer, staring at the ground.
"It looks like it does much more then that." Robin says, reading the label over Beastboy's shoulder. Beastboy is just frozen.
"I have never felt more dirty in my life." I replied, rubbing one arm, "He stole all my clothes as well…he knew I wouldn't invite people over unless I had clothes. But I am wearing his…"
"I can tell." Cyborg says, "So explain everything to us…"
"Okay…well, back when I was a child. I remember seeing Arsonon, that damn dragon you all fought. Well, back a couple of months ago, Arsonon was coming here only to speak with Daniel. He was given orders to, well, choose the next ruler. He was here a while back…a long time ago, around the time we were killing off the Brotherhood of Evil. But now, he's back, with more instruction from my father. You see, although my father is dead, he is still very alive inside of me. And he is still able to contact the dragon and myself from the underworld where his undead body is. Daniel is a demon, he is a monster only sent here to take over Daddy's job. He is meant to be king, the king of all demons, the reincarnation of evil. Right now, evil is winning this battle...there are only a few good angels around out there fighting the battle and dying for the power of good.
"Life is not a fairytale. Good doesn't triumph over evil, it is the exact opposite. That is what I would like to change, but I am powerless to do so. You see, I am under Daniel's control. Everytime I stop time for him, everytime I lay with him, he grows a little stronger, gaining some of my power. Don't ask me why, it's just the way us demons are designed. Whoever sleeps with the princess will gain power. I am that princess, whether I like it or not. I am the princess of evil, and there's nothing I can do about it. I thought maybe I could make a treaty with the ruler of good. But that was a long time ago...before I got all caught up in having a boyfriend. I fucked up big time and now I'm powerless."
"So basically, he is using you to become king and ruler over all evil. And also pull evil through to win the war between good and evil?" Cyborg seems to understand.
"Yes, but even more than that. You see, as long as there is some good left, the war will never be over. It is a universal war and will continue on. I was hoping to marry a human, someone to make sure our child could control his or her powers so much easier. My husband, no matter human or demon, will be the king of evil. What he chooses to do with that power is another thing. If he chooses to bring evil through the battle, like Daniel, that is his choice. But he could also make a treaty with good, one that only allows a little evil and mostly perfection. The world needs at least a little evil, to keep the demons happy." I laugh now, "they enjoy watching pain and suffering…"
"Do you?" Robin steps forward.
"I am only half demon, I have compassion in me, I hate watching people suffer. That is why I heal those in need of it and why I help you fight evil." Now I'm hurt, but Beastboy is still staring at the jar of cream.
"Does this really work?" Beastboy squeaks. I stare at the ground, ashamed…
"It works beautifully." A voice comes from the window, "makes the night magical for the man at least, not to wonderful for her though." He cackles as we swing around staring at the demon standing there.
"Daniel…" Beastboy throws the cream on the ground, the glass breaking in half, glaring at my betrothed. The cream is oozing out slowly.
"You must be Beastboy. Nice to meet you." Daniel sticks out his hand, and instantly, a force pulls Beastboy all the way to him, and their hands meet. As soon as Daniel touches Beastboy's hand, he grabs it hard and flings him out the window.
"Beastboy!" I scream reaching out but I can't reach too far. I am not allowed to leave the room. "Starfire, what are you waiting for? Catch him!"
She snaps back to reality and dives down to catch my paralyzed love. She brings him up to the room and he is completely frozen. "What did you do to him!" I scream running at Daniel, pounding on his shoulder. "Why did you do that?"
"I had to get him out of the way. You know that."
"I-I…" I shake my head, crying, "You will turn him back!" I scream.
"Um…no…"
My form changes. Black is once again flowing through and out of my veins. Black fire is surrounding me as a black arm reaches out, grabbing at Daniel. This is one power that my father gave to me that no other demon has. It only runs through my family's veins.
Daniel quickly dodges the arm, "Raven, stop now."
Instantly, the black returns to my veins and I realize I have no control here as I fall to the floor, helplessly.
"Raven…" Starfire whispers.
"Team, fall back." Robin chokes out.
"But." Starfire starts.
"I said…fall back…" Robin is angry. He gives me a compassionate look as he jumps out the window, Starfire following with one arm carrying Beastboy, the other reaching to catch Robin. Cyborg gives me a hug quickly, whispering, "hang in there, I have a sample, and will find an antidote. Contact me when you have a chance, I have to speak to you more," and jumps, grabbing onto Starfire's shoe.
They flew here, the fastest way to travel. They have no way home except Starfire. I see them disappear into an ally. I know Starfire was struggling carrying so many people. Maybe Tamaranian acupuncture can cure what Daniel did to Beastboy…but it probably won't. I do what is the only thing I can do to help out, I find them, transporting them back to the tower.
I turn around to see Daniel smiling. "Well, it was nice to see your friends again. I don't now why I'm letting them live. But maybe it was Beastboy's reaction to the cream the makes me want them alive. Just to torture them with my possession over you."
Maybe the cream has worn off now. I take a running start and crash into a clear wall over the window, keeping me loyal to my betrothed.
"You will marry me, and you will grow to like it, and one day. Maybe you will even love me like I love you."
"you don't love me." I spit out.
"Oh, I do."
"You just love the power I give you."
"No, Raven. You don't understand. I do love you very much. It is just I have a duty to fulfill. And me, being a guy, and also demon, I like to have fun in bed. I also like to watch people in pain. It is actually nice."
"I hate watching people in pain."
"That is where you and I are different, Raven." He cackles now…how can anyone be so inconsiderate. At least I know how to defeat him…but the problem is that he can tell me to stop, and I will. I have to break out of this.
I stare at the window…and once again I sprint towards it. Maybe…it is eleven o'clock in the morning…exactly twelve hours since he used that damn stuff on me…
I feel my legs burn, I keep running, maybe, if I have a running start, I can get through. I feel my feet lift from the ground as I jump and reach for the window. I hope I can jump through. I promise…if I make it through…I will stop cutting…I will fly instead of killing myself. Please…just let me escape…
