Ch 11-Discovering the Truth
Narrator:
Things keep getting better and better in the Gotham castle. It seems there are split perspectives all around. There's no telling what could be in store for them.

Richard could tell that something was wrong. There didn't use to be so much tension around. He couldn't figure out what was happening. Victor and Karen weren't talking to Terra and Garfield. Kori just started talking to Roy again. His parents seemed to be on thin ice right now. The only sane person around was Alfred. He never saw them acting like this before. None of it made any sense. Hopefully everyone can work on their problems.
Making it back to his room he laid on his be. All of this stress wasn't good for him. Even he could feel the tension in the air. There wasn't much to do so he tried to relax. Just as he was about to go to sleep s knock came to the door. Releasing a deep sigh he got up and answered the door.
"Master Richard," Alfred said.
"Alfred. Was there something that you needed?"
"I'm sure you've noticed the change in atmosphere around here lately."
"Yeah. Kind of hard not to notice."
"Yes. I thought it would be wise to schedule a picnic. Maybe that way everyone could talk about what's going on."
"Alfred…I think you've been hanging around mom too much."
"I believe so sir."
"Well…it's a good idea. When are we going to do this?"
"How 'bout this weekend?"
"Sounds like a plan."
"Especially for you and Miss Raven."
"Not you too Alfred. Now I know you've been hanging around mom too much."
"There's no need to act embarrassed."
"Speaking of Raven. How is she? I haven't seen her lately."
"She mostly stays in her room."
"She hasn't left?"
"Only once when Miss Kori came to invite her for tea."
"Really!"
"I'll let you know when dinner is ready."
Richard still contemplated what Alfred said. He still didn't get how she could still be so secluded. Looking across the hall he saw that her door was closed. He thought about going over there and talking to her. Finally making up his mind he walked over and knocked on the door.
"I see you've finally decided to grace me with your presence."
"I guess I deserve that. May I come in?"
Raven moved aside and let Richard in. they both sat on the bed.
"I hear you actually spent time with Kori."
"Well I had originally come to see her."
"I got that but what I don't understand is why you lock yourself in your room and don't hang out with anyone else."
"I hang out with you."
"You know what I meant."
"Fine. I'm an enchantress."
"…What?..."
"I can cast spells, levitate, and have empathic abilities."
Richard just stared at her. He could tell that she was serious. It took some time to let things sink in. raven just patiently waited for him to say something. This would explain a few things that have happened around here.
"Ok."
"Ok?"
"Yeah."
"You're not angry?"
"Why should I be? I can understand why you would want to hide it."
"Wow!"
"Does anyone else know?"
"Your dad does since he sent spies to dig up information about me and Terra has an inkling, but thinks I'm evil."
"Well that explains why she's been acting more crazier than usual."
"Oh! Tony knows too, but seeing as he's a kid it's understandable."
"Really!"
"I'm surprised you're taking this so well."
"I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, but that doesn't change how you are or how I feel about you."
"And how do you feel about me?"
"I would have thought that would have been obvious."
Richard leaned over and gave Raven a kiss. She was surprised by the sudden action but soon responded.

Helen's patience was starting to run out. She needed to find Raven and soon. There was no telling what could happen to her if he found out. She hoped that the dark sorcerer had found her. It was very urgent and not a second more could pass by.
Smoke filled the room while the dark sorcerer chanted a spell. It would take a few more minutes before the spell will show the location of where Raven was. Helen tried to calm down her breathing. It wasn't like Raven was going to disappear in the next second. After awhile the chanting stopped and the dark sorcerer opened his eyes. The white disappeared and left green eyes to be exposed.
"I've found her."
"Well where is she?"
"She's staying as a guest in the castle."
"What!"
"This could pose as a problem."
"Well…it's not like she's going to stay there forever. She'll leave eventually."
"And then we'll capture her."
"Sounds like a plan."
