Chapter 2

Raven looked around for Tyler. It had been awhile since he had left to go get them a drink. She spotted him disappearing into the trees. She hurried to where she had seen him disappear. She followed an old trail till she came to a clearing about five minutes later.

She gasped seeing Tyler in the middle of a passionate kiss with some blonde. Neither noticed her till, and she watched as they started shredding clothes.

"Tyler!" She said wondering if she should have just turned around and left.

Tyler's eyes went black when he pulled away from the girl, and looked at Raven. The girl's eyes were bright red. Raven backed up a step in fear. She was suddenly flying through the air and she smacked into a tree. Pain flooded through her as she collapsed on the ground.

She was pulled to her feet and shoved up against a tree face first. The bark scraped her cheek raw and she cried out in pain. One hand held her against the tree while the other reached around her undoing her jeans and the power was used to pull them down. Pain hit her as he entered her from behind.

"No!" She screamed.

"Don't you like it baby?" Tyler asked biting at her neck.

He tore her shirt and let his hands roam hurting her. He used to take off her bra, and then slammed her into the tree as he pounded into her. She felt the bark on the tree scraping her raw. She heard someone screaming and realized it was her.

"Make her really hurt Tyler!" The girl hissed.

"Rade!" Raven cried inwardly for her twin.

Rade was with Caleb, Jerelyn, Reid, and Lizette. He grabbed his head in pain when he heard his twin screaming for him in his head.

"Rade? What's wrong?" Jerelyn cried stepping toward Rade.

"Raven!" He cried his eyes going black in anger. He looked around for her.

"I saw her following Tyler into the woods not too long ago…"Reid said getting worried.

They all hurried off into the woods.

Raven's was beyond pain when Tyler finished with her, stepping back letting her fall to the ground covered in blood. He grinned leaning down touching her breasts and smearing the blood around.

"Wasn't that fun Raven?" He asked. "Why have I wasted so much time on you? You're nothing compared to her."

Raven was in her own little world that she had receded to trying to block out the pain and horror. His words never even reached her. He backhanded her trying to get her attention, but succeeded only in knocking her out.

Rade saw red when he saw Tyler hit his sister, who was bleeding and lying there half naked. He threw Tyler back into the girl pissed. Reid grabbed Rade's arm trying to stop him, and Rade pushed him away.

"Tyler!" Caleb cried starting toward him, but was thrown back by Tyler's blast of power.

"Stay away from me!" Tyler said glaring at his friends. He reached down pulling the blonde up. "I'm out of here! She was only trash anyway!"

Rade threw a ball of power at Tyler, but it was knocked back at him by the blonde. He was thrown into the tree behind him knocking the breath out of him.

Lizette and Jerelyn stood back watching in horror at what was happening. Lizette hurried to Raven when Tyler left the clearing with the blonde bitch. She felt sick looking at her wounds. Her eyes went black as she healed some of the worse ones. Jerelyn was beside her helping her in an instant. Caleb reached down, covering her with his coat, when they were finished.

"We need to get her home." Rade said bending down and scooping his twin up in his arms.

Raven sat straight up in bed screaming, and Rade caught her and held her as she screamed and sobbed. His own tears fell unashamedly. He looked up to see his older brothers appearing in the doorway. It was awhile before she finally calmed down, and she just cried silently into Rade's shoulder.

"Raven?" He asked pulling back.

"She has him under her power." She said. "I can't save him after what he done."

Rade didn't say anything, he just held her. She thought about the circumstances. Tyler had raped her. He'd hurt her. There was only one way she could help him, and she pretended to fall asleep against Rade's shoulder.

His older brothers made him come out of the room for awhile after she fell asleep.

"You need to eat something Rade, and get some rest. She's resting quietly at the moment." Ryder said. "We don't need you going down on us also."

Rade reluctantly did as his brother bid him to do. Raven listened until her brothers were gone, then reached for her cell phone. She punched a number on her contacts and waited for him to answer.

"Hello?" Michael Archer said hesitantly answering the phone seeing Raven was calling him on her new cell phone.

"Michael. I want it gone." She said trying not to cry.

"What are you talking about Raven?" He asked.

"I want the memory of Tyler raping me gone!" She said catching her sob.

"Raven, I can't." Michael said sadly. "You said…"

"Please Michael! I can't live with this memory! Please!" She begged him.

"You'll only hate me more than you do!" Michael said.

"I can't live with it Michael…" She said letting the threat hang.

He couldn't be hearing her right. Was she threatening to kill herself? "I'll be there in a few minutes Raven, but I'm not promising anything."

He closed his phone looking at his brothers who were watching him. "I've got to go out for awhile. If I don't come back you'll know the Downings killed me." He said with a half ass smile.

"What's going on Michael?" Sloan asked.

"Raven." He said worriedly.

"You actually think we're going to let you go by yourself after that statement about the Downings?" Matthew asked.

Michael laughed. "I know they won't kill me, might hurt me some if I actually do as Raven asked that is."

"What the hell did she ask you?" Sloan asked.

"To erase the memory of Tyler raping her." He muttered.

Sloan sighed. "You going to do it?"

"If I have to yes." Michael said thinking of what she had left unsaid grabbing his keys from the table beside the door.

"We are going with you." Matthew said leaving no discussion for it by grabbing his brother's keys and then his coat and shrugging it on.

Sloan grinned following his brothers out the door.

Ryder was heading into Raven's room to check on her when the doorbell rang. He went to answer it, before the butler could. He was getting senile in his old age. He wasn't surprised to see the Archer boys and grinned at them.

"It's about time you guys started coming around again." Ryder said holding the door open and motioning for them to enter.

"This really isn't a social call." Sloan said glancing at Michael.

"Oh…" Ryder said.

"Raven called me. She wants to talk to me about something." Michael said not able to look Ryder in the eye.

Ryder looked at the younger boy raising an eyebrow wondering how she had called him when she was sleeping. Unless she really wasn't. He could only wonder what she was up to now. He sighed.

"Go on in." He told the boy who looked at him in surprise.

Michael went down the hallway to Raven's room. He knocked on the door before he started into her room.

"Come in." She said.

Michael walked in noticing the tears in her eyes. "Are you sure about this Raven?"

"Yes." She said. "I want to be with Tyler. First I have to save him though, and I can't do that with the memory. I can still feel the pain, and what he did to me."

Michael squelched the anger building up inside of him. He'd like to kill Tyler himself. She had always been like a little sister to him. He walked over to the bed sitting down beside her and put his hands on either side of her head.

"You can still say no…" He said.

"Just do it Michael." She said. "Hurry!"

Michael's eyes turned black and he pulled the memory of Tyler raping her from her mind. In the instant they we're connected, he felt the agony and pain with the memory, and he could see why she couldn't live with it.
