Raven made her way into the common room. The large bay window gave some illumination to the room. 6:45 am. enough sunlight to pass the light switch without a second thought. She felt like a child.
'Have one nightmare, and i stay up all night with a candle.' she thought to herself.
Her palms sweat and her arm started to shake as she grasped the tea cup in her hand.
'get a hold of yourself!'
a low murmur echoed through out the room.
The girl froze. hands shaking as violent as ever. She swallowed her fear, literally, and turned around. nothing. The air was still. Silence became her.
Her inner thoughts whispered, fearful of summoning the creature back.
She sensed a presence.
A Low growl emanated from a poorly lit corner of the room,
just out of the reach of natural light.
she clenched her fists. the porcelain cup shattered and hit the ground.
she felt the blood run over her fingers.
drip onto the tiled floor.
her eyes turned to slits scanning the room.
The white cabinets were bathed in the red light pouring from her eyes.
She picked up a lamp with dark energy,
and hurled it to the other side of the room, flipping the switch before she did so.
in the moments before the lamp smashed against the wall.
Raven saw the nightmare. And if it could, it would have a wicked smirk smeared across it's features. The lights came on, dissipating the dark corner, The Creature: Gone.
"Raven?"
"What." she said flatly..The half demon, scanned the room for any evidence of the 'thing'. Her eyes returned to the calm violet they usually were.
"Did you have something against that lamp?"
"no." she didn't have time for this, that thing was more than a bad dream. it was rouge.
"so why did you decide to catapult it against the wall?"
"forget about it Beast boy" she walked toward the main door.
"Raven your bleeding." he stated concerned.
"very good." she said never halting.
"Who did this to you?" he said grabbing her wrist. "Why won't you just talk to me."
Her power surrounded his hand and lifted him into the air before swiftly dropping him.
"I did." she walked out of the room, metal doors shutting behind her.
She walked to the bathroom. She had to get ahold of herself.
'That thing was there wasn't it?
no- it was just a dream
exhaustion
that had to be it.' she thought.
The door slid shut. Solitude- for now. Raven leaned against the wall and slid down resting her head in her hands. it was just a dream. Standing, she looked in the mirror. the reflective surface showed a girl. Pale, gray skinned heart shaped face. Large tired violet eyes. Emotionless, stoic features. Her head pounded.
"LET ME OUT-ITS HERE!" she heard Rage roar.
"What is here?" she yelled back.
"THAT THING"
"It was just a dream" she tried reasoning.
"IT FOLLOWED YOU OUT."
she glanced at her reflection again. Features filled with demonic rage,
She bore four eyes, no longer two. Red Light flooded from them. Teeth, were bared and clenched. she closed her mirror shattered. Glass shards rained down upon her. The Demon was gone. she collapsed on the floor, left in a puddle of blood, broken glass and silence.
