Chapter 6: The cry
Rorek sat in his office looking at old photos. him, his brother, mother and father looking all happy. He looked away from the old ruined family. It pained him, Malchior had been corrupted then killed their mother and father. He left Rorek saying that
"Someone needs to remember this."
The doors to his office flew open. Rorek looked up, the man he didn't want to see at the moment stood there.
Jason Todd, one of the guards, and one of the best at that. He went by the name Red-X for some reason. Maybe to keep his family safe, if he even had one.
"Sir, we have a report from a young family." X said, Rorek got up from his seat and followed Red-X down the hallway to where a distressed family was waiting.
The West Family. The father, John West, his wife Rice West, he knew they had a son. Wally.
"Please, Sir Rorek. We have lost our son to the witches. We need your help." Rice pleaded. The look in her eyes told Rorek that she had been crying for at least a few days.
"What happened?" Rorek asked, he had his hand on his sword.
"Our son, Wally, had been going out so often we began to wonder. So we followed him, he was with a witch. We paniced and attacked, he protected her! The witch has done something to him!" John yelled.
"My boy, my poor poor boy!" Rice cried.
"Do not worry, I will send messages to the hunter. I will also send out my own knight to hunt your witch." Rorek turned to leave.
"T-Thank you…" Rice muttered before they were told to leave.
"Sir?" Red-X came up behind him.
"I have my own hate towards the witches. I am sending you, find the hunter. Make sure he takes the witches back alive, I want to see them burn. Also, give a message to Brother Blood. He needs to know and hold this witch burning." Rorek said before entering his office again and slamming the doors shut.
Red-X walked towards the stable, getting his black horse. He could remember what Rorek told. He rode through the village all the way to the church.
He got off the horse and went inside. Brother Blood stood by the altar, he was praying.
"Speak my child, I will be listening." Blood said, he made a slow turn and looked X straight in the eyes.
"A witch has kidnapped a young boy with the name Wally. We will hunt the witches, and require you to hold the ceremony before the hunter burn them" X explained.
"Ah… A witch burning, I will have to study up on that. But I will gladly take part in it. It has been long since I took part in one." Blood laughed. Something about his laugh was a little evil for X's opinion.
"Very well." He said before turning back outside. Now just to find the hunter.

Red-X rode through the forest, he was lost. "God curse!" He yelled. Glancing around he noticed a slight light coming not too far away. Gently riding towards it, he also noticed the smell, fish. Someone was camping.
He got off his horse not too far away, just in case he needed a quick escape.
"Richard, fish won't kill you!" That name. Red-X walked out into the small clearing.
Victor and Richard sat on the ground by a small fire eating the fish he had smelled. They looked at him as he walked out.
"Red-X…" Richard hissed. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm on a mission, I happened to know that you two are traveling with hunter Logan."
"Yeah, and you care why?" Victor shot him a look.
"I have a message to deliver." With that he sat down with the guys. "Where is he anyways?"
Victor and Richard looked at each other, before Vic answered. "He'll be back soon." They knew he was down by the pond, probably dancing and kissing with Raven again.
"How long?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?" Richard shot.
"The amount I want." X smirked.

"Soo… He's hunting you?" Garfield looked at the ground, he felt like crying.
"Yeah, I have to go. I wanted to tell you this so you wouldn't come down here all the time." Raven said, her tone held deep deep sorrow.
"I- I don't want you to… I don't want you to go." Garfield said, he looked up turned his head and looked at Raven. She was looking straight forward, at the pond. Sighing, he lifted his hand and took a firm, yet gentle grip on Raven's chin.
She didn't have time to react before Garfield placed his lips on hers. She was surprised at first but, soon followed his motion in deepening the kiss.
The two parted, two single tears ran down their face. They were about to start crying out loud, but they kissed again to muffle each others cry.
"I won't forget you, my Raven." Garfield whispered, he was holding Raven to his chest. Hoping, begging, praying that she wouldn't go.
"I won't forget you either…" She sobbed, gripping onto his shirt she began to cry out her heart. He felt it, and it pained him.
He placed his head on top of hers and let his own tears fall, he held her tighter. He didn't want to let her go, not now, not ever.
But he knew he had to...
Some time went by before Raven fell asleep in his arms. Garfield didn't want to sleep, he wanted this moment to last. He looked down at her, he smiled.
She looked so peaceful, her eyes gently closed, her mouth open, a little drool running from her mouth. He couldn't help but laugh a little.
More time went by, this time Raven was awake with Garfield wrapped around her asleep. She chucked a little when she saw the amount of drool that had escaped his mouth. It was enough to make a small puddle next to them. She pressed herself closer, feeling the protectiveness.

The sun was starting to rise, Garfield opened his eyes. Not seeing the purple haired beauty before him made him jump, but he relaxed when he saw her swimming in the pond.
Grinning, he quickly took off his shirt and jumped in before she had any chance of seeing him awake or run away from the splash.
Raven lifted some of her wet hair that got in her face away. "Finally woke up, huh?" She smiled.
"How long have you been up?" He asked swimming to her like a shark.
"About ten minutes I would guess." She shrugged, grinning at how close he was, she splashed him with a handful of water.
He was a little startled by the attack, but soon they found themselves in a water battle. They laughed and had tons of fun, the entire time they both thought about what would happen to them after this.
They knew they loved each other, and they had fallen in love with each other's personalities, and ended up falling deeper than any of them would ever think.

Time passed by, it wasn't enough time for them. but they were in the end forced to split.
Garfield kissed Raven one last time, she was about to go away for a really long time. He knew it was a high possibility to never be able to see her again.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you more." He stated.
"I love you, the most." They cried.

"Dude, where have you been? You've been gone the entire day, you even have a visitor." Victor yelled as Garfield entered the camp.
He wasn't in the mood for visitors. "Who is it?"
"Me" Red-X stepped out of the shadows.
"What do you want?" Garfield muttered, his sorrow was dripping off him.
"I bring a message from Sir Rorek. He wants the witches back alive, if you haven't killed them yet that is. He want to see them burn, probably for his brother." X smiled, his blond hair falling into his face and covering his right green eye.
Garfield was about the break down. "S-She's de-dead…" Gar said, even the thought of Raven's death was a pain to his mind.
"Well, Rorek won't be happy to hear that, but what about the other one?"
"What 'other one'?" Garfield asked, he knew who. He was just playing along, hoping X would buy it.
"Jinx I think her name was." X placed his hand on his chin, thinking.
"Yeah, killed her too." Garfield finished before going into his tent, he didn't want to talk about the witches, nevertheless Raven. His Raven.

Jinx and Wally had settled down into a small cottage outside Steel village, it had been a two days walk, but they hoped it would be safe or at least safer.
The cottage had one bedroom, a small kitchen and a living room. It had been abandoned, glass was broken, the door was laying on the ground, and there was holes in the roof.
They did want this to be their home so they got to it. Repairing the roof and door, Jinx used her magic to fix the broken windows, while Wally tried to fix the door. The roof needed teamwork.
But in the end, they did it. Started a new life in Steel village.

Trigon hadn't slept in three days, he needed to find Raven, but that was easier said than done. He had flown over the forest nine times, gone though the village three times. He was losing hope.
Landing in front of the house he transformed back to his human form. He walked inside, sighing. "Where did I go wrong?" He asked himself. He was ready to cry when.
"I told you before Trigon, she will run away. And now you lost her, she won't come back at will you know." The dark voices in his head said.
"Maybe you're right."
"Of course I'm right, you should have thought her some respect. And now you won't get the chance again…"
"..."
"You'll find her… And when you do, I'm going to help you raise her… The right way…"
As the voice faded, Trigon's eyes turned into deep blood red. Darkness began to swirl around him, fire started to consume him.
He transformed into his birth form. That had red skin, long white hair, antler horns, goat legs. His clothes burned into the ones he had worn before marrying Arella, his love. He now wore a black cape with a black leather chest plate. His shoes turned to black snakeskin with thorns around them. His antler horns was surrounded by a gold crown with black and red gems.
He laughed as his true form finally was free, and nothing would stop him now. Even Raven should be afraid of him, he held no mercy anymore. The only thing on his mind was; Protect Raven at any costs.
