'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.

They heard their movements echo down the hallway putting them more on edge.

Cyborg walked ahead of the others, followed by Robin, as their sight was the most inhibited by the darkness.

Beast boy and Raven brought up the rear. Only instincts guiding them. She glanced at her friends one last time before morphing into the shadows. The creature was after her, not them. They would only get in the way. She pulled the small copper coin tightly around her neck before truly leaving them on their own.

Her dark heart, throbbed against her chest. Crimson eyes scanned the hallway, searching every corner- analyzing every shadow.

The sun would be rising soon.

It wouldn't make a difference, she knew that.

That thing would forever haunt her. Every shadow, every dark corner of her mind. And when the sun falls, it would become tangible.

It obviously respected daylight to some degree, but would it- could it- truly be stopped?

She would never be sure.

She was having a hard time convincing her self that she was awake anymore.

Her shoulder caught the edge of a doorway. Her doorway. She saw the scraped out iron, that was once part of the hallway.

It was destroying her home.

Threatening what family she had.

"This ends tonight." She stated.

The sorceress made her way to the common room, being driven with a new ferocity. Before it was about self preservation. Now it was about her family.

She stopped.

This thing was out to hurt her anyway it could.

And she left them alone.

"no." she whispered out loud.

She picked up her pace, forgetting about scanning and stealth. She was a short distance from the common room when she was assaulted with the smell of oil. Machine oil. She took another step and felt the thick fluid beneath her foot.

'Fuck this shit.' She thought. Before she could summon another curse, she heard labor breathing. The hall was cold and weathered. All her frustration and tension with this creature was nearly a physical being. It had no right. She clenched her fist and approached the demon.

The creature looked at her with soulless eyesight reeked a terrible smell. Rotting flesh. A scent she knew all too well. It roared flinging spit onto her. She summoned a more threatening one. She felt her teeth elongate, Pupils burn a bright crimson. hair grew shades darker to a hellish black. She crouched into an offensive position and growled once more as a final warning. The terrible beast backed up. Raven summoned her dark gift. Embracing her inner Demon She hissed and sprang. That creature hurt her family. It wasn't getting away so easily. It ran the second her foot left the ground but she was too fast. She snuck her canines into its flesh and it let out a pain filled cry. Magic became blades, tarring into the being, throwing it against the wall leaving a satisfying dent. It's head whiplashed around. Its eyes were no longer terrifying and filled with hate. It only knew fear. And fear was all it would know from now on. She would make sure of it. She hissed again and punched and kicked the thing into the wall. It cried out in pain.

"no one is coming to help you, your all mine." she said a demonic purr in her voice. A sadistic smile crept across her face. She bit it again and scratched across its torso making sure not to hit its vital areas. She wanted only to inflict pain. It peeled out of the room in a sprint. She pursued it down the hallway as it burst into the main room. They saw the terrible creature they had all tried to run from. It was obviously wounded. They didn't know to be ecstatic or worried. Another demon was in the house. They heard a growl emanate from the origin of the beast as it whined in fear. Their suspicions were confirmed when she entered from the doorway and pinned it. Blood running down her face she laughed, a satanic laugh. Ready to go for the kill, she wrapped the pathetic thing in Black tendrils.---

"Stop."

She turned to her friends, Starfire was the only one able to stand.

"Please Stop" she whispered again. "This is not you."

Raven looked to the beast and glanced back to her friends.

"Raven—" she heard someone else whisper faintly. "Don't"

" Beast boy?... where are you?-!" She asked, scanning the room simultaneously.

She quickly saw a gloved hand reach for the remaining edge of the couch. He weakly tried to pull and prop himself up, but the couch wasn't supportive enough.

"Beast boy!"

"Don't kill it." She whispered, as the rest of his weight slid from the couch to Raven.

"I don't understand-"

"You're not supposed to kill Rae"

"It-"

" You heal people with your hands, Listen to their problems.

You protect a city. You've saved the world.

Your hands are not for killing they're for saving, Raven"

Light seeped into the room from the bay windows. A small gleam reflected from raven. Beast boy grabbed the penny and wiped the blood from it.

"please don't- you're not like that thing. Your not a Demon"

Raven turned to face the Bay windows. The creature sat in front of the windows, it's eyes reflecting light, it shrieked and moaned. Burning rotting flesh simmered in the daylight. The terrible odor filled her nostrils. It cocked its head toward her and looked her in the eye pleading. She held up the penny, the shine casting light into the monsters dilated pupils.

"Go to hell" she scowled

Soon all that was left was a puddle of tainted blood.

It was over

"Thank you" Raven whispered. She dropped to her knees

"You've done it again Beast boy. Thankyou"

Raven fell, and gripped the penny.

She would never lose it again

her sense of faith
