Hey everyone! I see that I left you guys in quite a shock by last chapter's words. Ah I loved it. Lets see if this surprises you just as much... Maybe it won't *shrugs* oh well.
Also what do you guys think of a story about Starfire. Cause I mean Starfire came to earth because she was originally going to be a Gordannian slave, do you guys think I should write a story about the events leading up to and the episode "GO!" from Starfire's PoV? I just thought of the idea a little bit ago.
As always, please R&R and enjoy!
"What?" Raven stared at him with shock, as did Thanatos, and Daemon. The black energy dissipated and Beast Boy landed gracefully on his feet. Wide eyes stared up at the demoness.
"I want to come with you… I can't stand being away from you Raven… I love you too much to let you go."
Raven's head was blank, completely blank with shock. Except for the dark mist in the back of her head that was Daemon. He… He loves me? No, he can't… He's just saying that!
Suddenly, all of her emotions flared up in reply. Love, warmth, regret, nostalgia, they all rose steadily and she felt herself lose control of them all. Just as she felt herself detach from her body and take a place near the back of her head.
Daemon was in control…
"Hehe, really? You love me huh?" Daemon landed softly on the ground and stalked over to Beast Boy. She grinned wickedly and punched him in the face. "So you won't mind if I kill you right?"
Beast Boy appeared panicked; he just gulped her nervously and stuttered. "Uh...R-Rae?"
Beast Boy! No please leave, I can't control myself and I don't want to hurt you! I love you too… Raven sobbed inside. She really did love Beast Boy, but she would only hurt him. She wasn't worthy of him as she was now. She was a half demon… And what half demon needed love right?
Beast Boy had fallen backwards and just looked up at her in an incredulous look. What had happened to her? It was if she had lost control. Maybe she had, maybe he had pushed her too far, maybe she didn't like his feelings and turned against him for it.
Beast Boy closed his eyes and clenched his fists. "If you are going to kill me, then kill me now. Prove to me you are completely a demon; prove to me that you no longer care about us… About me…" There was a certainty, and a determination, in his voice that impressed Thanatos. The red-skinned demon had been observing the whole conversation and was slightly pleased by what he saw.
"Ha love, I don't need love only weaklings need love." Daemon raised a hand and it dark energy covered her entire arm, it extended beyond her arm and stopped a few inches in front of Beast Boy's chest. The tip had been sharpened to a point and Thanatos nodded in approval. Things were going even smoother than planned.
No… Raven thought as she watched herself stab Beast Boy like an outsider. He collapsed on the ground with a scream and Raven felt her body be turned around. But she didn't see Thanatos in front of her. All Raven could see was that same scene repeating in her head that she had stabbed Beast Boy. Sure it might not have been her choice but it was her body, her hands that now held blood on them.
"Let's move, I am not giving the other me back her body till we are out of here." Daemon said coldly and gave a soft, deceptively trusting smile. Thanatos liked this Raven; she was more like her father than he could ever be. And for the love of bloody hell he was Trigon technically.
"Very well princess, I shall open the portal to our father's domain." Thanatos let out a low chant that sounded in a tongue that no one should ever have to hear. A black void appeared in front of them, it nearly looked like an endless back circle and Daemon stared at it dubiously.
"This… This is our portal?" Daemon snapped. Then fire burst inside the portal and it was lit up inside with endlessly burning flames. The sight was so unexpected and sudden that the demonically-taken over demoness jumped. Thanatos just grinned and stepped in, Daemon in tow.
Beast Boy lay there, drifting in and out of consciousness. He knew he was on the ground, blood flowing from his body and the small chill of the day stripping the protective layers of warmth. His body was also chilling from the fact that he was dying. That one fact.
But he simply didn't care anymore. Raven was gone, lost, no longer there. She was alive but with how she was she was as good as dead. Did any of it really matter anymore if he couldn't share his life with her? He just lay on the ground accepting that he no longer would see her. Soon his own life would be claimed, just as Raven would want.
He knew that the titans would try to find him where he left, he hopefully wouldn't be found. When Beast Boy first started his search he had no idea where the demoness actually went. He wouldn't have found her in a million years if it wouldn't have been for the ominous feeling he had felt when he was in his animal form. It was a presence that was very rarely felt even in animal form. Just like how most animals can sense ghost and other paranormal stuff Beast Boy recently found that if the essence was dark enough that he could sense and track it.
He felt powerful dark energy when in his bird form and instantly knew that something was up. Following it to a secluded region that would have been impossible to find otherwise. However now Beast Boy was cursing being able to find her, being rejected and nearly killed by the same person was painful both emotionally and physically.
"Beast Boy! Are you alright?" Came another female voice, this time was the complete opposite of Raven's, cheerful and bright even when down. Beast Boy could hear Starfire's footsteps as she landed and ran over to him. He didn't care enough to answer. She picked him up and he groaned reluctantly.
Then the green changeling blacked out from the pain.
Raven finally got her body back when they entered Trigon's palace. With a bloodcurdling scream she threw herself against the closed door. No Beast Boy, that idiot that that lovable stupid kind stupid caring Idiot! Raven could feel the disgruntled gaze of Thanatos behind her. She just wanted to reach Beast Boy though, to show him that she didn't mean to kill him, or reject him like that.
He's definitely going to die! And it will be all my fault… Raven felt nothing but despair, everything was over. He was going to die and she was going to be blamed no matter what. She would blame herself even if she was considered not guilty because she DID do it.
Even her hands still held the blood of her best friend, the one who had cared for her so much that he just stood there and let her stab him. She held her shaking hands up and stared at them in horror. The dried blood was still on them.
"I see you have returned, my dear daughter," sneered a dark voice. The crazed Raven spun around and glared at the empty throne where Trigon's presence lingered. Angrily she shoved a ball of dark energy and it soared across the room, hearing a rumble as it collided with the opposite wall.
"I didn't want to see you ever again. And don't call me your daughter, you are not my family, not anymore," Raven said icily.
"ah but princess, is there really anywhere else for you to go? You killed two now, one of them was your best friends. The titans would never accept you now." Raven could see Thanatos's smile as he spoke.
"Why don't you die and go to hell?"
"Why my princess, we are already there."
Raven hung her head low.
"Now my daughter, are you ready to combine yourself?"
Combine myself. Those words were her only other option, she was now going to be hated by everyone back home for what she did. Her family, the only people she cared about, were about to realize that one of their comrades had killed the other.
Those words seemed to mean more now. As if she just realized what that truly meant for herself. She was taking her humanity and fusing it with her demonic heritage. Forever tainting the human part of her while embracing the demon part. It was something she could never escape for it would maybe even change her personality. Sure she might grow more powerful in the process but it would be irreversibly changed.
Should she really do it?
What do you guys think? Should she do it?
