Chapter 20
Okay so here we go, haha this was a long week.
…
Shadow Knight kept dodging the attacks that Beastboy attempted to get her with. It was quite easy.
Slades' training may have been painful and he may have been relentless but it did help her combat skills.
"Aww did I hurt your feelings," Shadow Knight taunted.
He kept lunged at her and tried to stab her.
"Poor Beastboy, no one loves you."
Lunge.
"You're all alone."
Attack.
"And that weird Goth chick, she abandoned you too. I see her in so many of your memories."
He stopped.
"What did that hit a nerve?"
Beastboy just stood still, clenching his fist.
"What oh let me guess you liked her and you let her die."
He clenched his fist harder.
"And that girl Rachelle, she doesn't like you either."
The last straw.
"don't you ever talk about Rachelle," Beastboy yelled turning into a cheetah.
She dodged him.
"Haha," she laughed.
Beastboy started sparking with Shadow Knights power. He hit a wall.
"You think Slade loves you," he yelled getting up.
"Yes I do," she stoically replied.
"Ha, did he tell you that you're beautiful, and that he loves you, and that you're the most powerful person he has ever seen."
No reply.
"Because he told Terra the same thing. You're not that special shadow."
…
Nightwing and Slade had been duking it out for the past hour.
"Why Robin, why so much hatred in your style today."
"You're a bastard slade."
"Haha, I just do what I must."
"Killing Raven was not a must."
"Now child whoever said I killed her, you only assumed that."
That stopped Nightwing dead in his tracks'
"You didn't kill her."
Slade only smiled and lunged.
….
"You are a liar," Shadow Knight.
"Really it is true," Beastboy replied.
She just got angry.
"Do not lie," She cried and lunged at him.
"Did that hurt your feelings," he mocked.
She glared but then got an idea.
"That Rachelle girl, it would be sad if something happened to her."
"If you hurt her."
"If I hurt her, hah what can you do to protect her. "
Glare.
"You couldn't protect your parents, the doom patrol, Terra, or the Goth girl. What can you to for Raven?"
'Shit.'
He stared at her perplexed.
"What did you say?" he asked
"What can you do for Rachelle?"
"What did you do to raven?"
"Who?"
"Don't play dumb."
He lunged her and pinned her to the wall.
"What did you to too raven!"
Raven was utterly confused, or was she Shadow Knight, or was she Rachelle.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
He smacked her on the face; she went flying to the right a few feet.
Her mask didn't go with her.
She covered her face.
"Who are you shadow knight," he asked headed to the girl.
She teleported out.
"Who are you!" he yelled.
…
Slade left the unconscious Nightwing in the factory.
He had won his little fight, and went to go check on the video of Ravens battle.
"What can you do for Raven?"
Rewind.
"What can you do for Raven?"
Rewind.
"Do for Raven."
Rewind.
"Raven."
Anger radiated off the man, she just made a horrible mistake.
"You foolish girl," he said evilly.
…..
"Nightwing," Starfire cried headed to her boyfriend. "Please awaken."
He started to stir.
"Oh joy," Starfire said gently hugging him.
"He didn't kill her," he whispered.
"What?" Starfire asked confused.
….
Beastboy ran straight for his room.
"Shadow knight who are you?" he pondered.
"How did you know Raven?" He said.
'Her eyes,' he thought.
'If she ever hurts Rachelle, she is dead.'
…..
Nightwing headed straight for his evidence room.
He threw the pictures of Shadow Knight all over his desk.
"She can control fears, she has telekinesis." He said.
"She is witty and sarcastic. She covers her face."
"Slade didn't kill Raven."
He looked at old spells that he found in Ravens room.
He found one in particular that he deemed helpful.
"The rebirth spell," he said.
"The church of blood created this ritual to be able to bring the devil to life. They succeeded in bringing forth Trigon. Lately this spell had been used to create bodies for those whose souls cannot go to heaven or hell."
He found another book on trigon.
"The children of Trigon, the sins. Gluttony, lust, greed, wrath, sloth and pride," Nightwing said." what else do they have on trigon. His children could not go to heaven."
It all clicked in his head.
"Shadow wolf you are Raven," he said in shock. "This I have to keep to myself for now."
'at least till I am 100% sure.'
Someone rapped at his door.
"Come on in Beastboy," he to the changeling. "What's up?"
"Shadow Knight said Raven," he blurted out. "She mentioned her and then refused to admit it."
'That was fast,' Nightwing stopped.
"Well," he said. "I will look into it, gets some sleep Beastboy."
The changeling nodded and walked away.
"Sorry," Nightwing said. "I don't think you can handle the truth just yet. I barley can."
…..
She tried her best to silently sneak past slade.
"You are a foolish child," she heard him hiss.
She should know by know that slade was everywhere.
"It was a slip up," she pleaded.
He came up to her.
She looked at him in defiance and fear.
"A slip up or not," he screamed pinning her neck to the wall. "You will be severely punished for this."
He tightened his grip on her neck.
She couldn't breather.
"You are a fool to mention Raven."
She wasn't going t go without a fight. Being pride the daughter of Trigon made her not want to lose.
"How did he know me Slade," she demanded.
He stared at her angrily and let her go.
"He asked me what I did to Raven," she said. "What did he mean by that?"
Slade released her and said nothing for a moment.
"Tomorrow you will go to school come right back home and have extra training,' he spat.
"Tell me why he knew who Raven is," she yelled.
She felt a large punch to her face.
Then a kick to her stomach.
He kept beating her.
Maybe sometimes being full of pride was also being full of conceit.
"Do not yell at me," he screamed as he hit her.
She laid there a crumpled mess. Bleeding from many cuts and bruises.
"I hate you," she whimpered.
"Wrong choice of words," he hissed.
Then it all went black.
…
