The candles eased closer to the dark angle of the room.
She heard the door hiss open, and a dark figure stepped forward simultaneously.
Only lengthy nails touched the light.
It soulless eyes reflected nothing but hate. She felt a hand on her arm, ignoring it she stepped toward it. The hand restrained her.
"Let. Go." She stated firmly.
The hand gripped tighter.
'wh—ong—ven?' she heard some one mumble.
Blood roared in her ears.
'I Said LET GO." She scream in rage. She turned to face her friends. The ones she was trying to protect but was met with fear.
It was radiating off of them. Raven could only imagine why.
They had seen Rage's true form.
Her Demon half.
The Half she never allowed them to see.
Beast boy moved toward her.
She forgot, he had seen something similar once before.
He never got the chance to take another step, his face twisted into horrific fear.
And the thing attacked him.
The others stood there in shock as he struggled against it.
'NO!' Raven yelled furiously. She grabbed the back of the creature and threw it against the wall.
'Your fight's with me' she hissed.
The Demon roared and slashed her arms. Its spit cascaded onto her face. Her blood ran down her forearms. She punched it square in the jaw, but only proved her point. It hurt her more than the monster.
It's shard like teeth pierced deep into her fist.
She cried out in pain, but managed to summon a kick to its abdomen.
she backed up to inspect her hand as the thing rebounded off the wall.
'Raven What the hell is that?!' Cyborg shouted.
She turned to respond, but froze when she saw Beast boy motionless in Starfire's arms.
'A gift from father.' She spat through gritted teeth before returning her attention to the corner of the room.
'how do we defeat this foe?' Starfire asked hurriedly.
Before Raven could respond the beast pinned her to the wall.
With the strength she had, she grabbed its teeth and tried to pry them away from her throat.
The blood running into it's mouth only made it's lust for blood increase.
"Run.' She said before forcing it against the wall with dark magic.
'This is. My. battle.' She said in between breaths.
The beast and Rage struggled hand to hand for a few moments before Cyborg blasted it with his sonic cannon.
seeing the light it shrieked in terror.
'Light.' Raven said "It can't thrive in light."
"That's all we need to know" Robin replied. He threw a flash band to the ground.
The beast retreated into the hall before disappearing.
'how many hours until day light?' robin asked
'about one.' stated Cyborg
'If we can get it into the sunlight, it might be enough to destroy it.'
'it won't be enough, it won't die so easily.' Replied raven.
