Don't question it. Just read it. Much love to all those faithful reviewers. But, seriously. If you read the damn thing, review it. Just saying. :)
Crow's Calling
Chapter 6: Music
Disclaimer: Don't own them. Just fool with 'em.
After calmly explaining to Starfire that wearing pink in such excess was somewhat unfashionable, she'd retreated to her room. Since meditation would be practically impossible (especially since Beast Boy had just decided to go on a prank spree; not to mention the rumor that a game of Stankball was about to begin), Raven decided to just relax.
Of course, music is a wonderful way to relax. This in mind, she popped in a burned CD that Starfire had made for the dark child (with, of course, express help from Robin and Cyborg). Though most would believe it'd have happy, electrifying songs, it actually contained darker ballads. But, it still wasn't something Raven would usually listen to. Then again, it wasn't too bad. Except that one track she always had to skip.
Let's get fucked up and die.
Something in the little witch's mind had clicked at this precise moment as she remembered how she enjoyed this song some time ago. After getting lost in the lead singer's melodic, enthralling vocalizations, she found herself shifting her weight from leg to leg almost rhythmically, becoming completely oblivious to the world around her.
"Does anyone know where the newspaper is!" Robin's bellow had, of course, been drowned out, and ignored. Not that he expected anyone to answer. But, maybe Raven did know.
As he ambled towards her room (for the second and hopefully, if the Gods smiled down upon him, last time that day), a distinct tune and voice seeped out her tightly, near ominously, closed door.
I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. Being plastic, it's fantastic!
Puzzled, and wondering if the child was being tortured by Slade or worse, he crashed open the door…
Only to find her desperately trying to skip the track, repeatedly pressing the designated button. "DAMN THING. SKIP." Tendrils of black rushed towards him, filling the whole room in fact. Oh God. Immediately, he ran for the hills, slamming the door behind him. A vow was made; don't ever tell Raven what he'd just witnessed.
What Raven didn't know, wouldn't hurt Raven. And it sure as Hell wouldn't hurt him.
Review, review. Review.
