Hello again readers,
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Yesterday, I decided to rewatch Rwby cause why not? And it gave me a few ideas of what to do with the story in the future.
A question for to my fellow writers, Do you listen to music while writing your stories? I know I'm not the only one who does it.
Hello there~ People on the Tv
Time: 8:37 am
Raven had awoken in his bedroom to the sound of the TV at a high volume. He opened his bedroom door and walked down the stairs to see his uncle-He would use that term loosely-watching the news "This is Diana Jones and here with me is Sheriff Kane Blake!" The reporter announced into the camera, she held the mic between herself and the sheriff.
"Sheriff Blake, can you give us some information as to what has happened?" Jones asked. Blake looked a bit hesitate to answer her question, he wished he could forget what he saw but deep down he knew he had to get something out so people don't start panicking.
"Well Ms Jones, with what little information we have, we can only guess that the boys were at the wrong place at the wrong time" The Sheriff started to give off some more little details about the case.
Raven looked to the bottom of the screen and blink in surprise at the text.
"Five found dead in Centennial Park"
Raven hummed to himself drawing the attention of his uncle on him "Boy!" The man thundered with a purple face "I KNOW YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS!" He roared at the petite raven, who just rolled his eyes at the walrus.
"I can assure you 'uncle'" He sneered "I had nothing to do with the deaths of those asshats" with that said Raven walked past his uncle and into the kitchen to get himself some breakfast.
The walrus like man marched over to the kitchen making the ground shake in the process "DO NOT TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME POTTER!" Raven ignored the man as he continued to rant about 'how generous his family was for taking him in twice' and 'He should be grateful'. Raven tuned him out as he started to munch on the toast that was on the table despite his aunt mostly burning the food.
The vantablack haired teen looked over to his pig of a cousin, his passive look instantly turned into a look of utter disgust as the other teen sucked up food like he was a vacuum cleaner "How utterly disgusting" he muttered to himself.
After watching his family eat like animals, Raven had lost his appetite and decided to go on a walk. School was closed for the obvious reason.
A while later
Time: 11:24 am
Raven must of been caught in deep thought about what could of happened last night as he walked straight into, what has been dubbed by most of the town, Greaser Territory. "Oh great" the vantablack haired teen said to himself, nevertheless he continued continued down the street.
He could feel the eyes of the people both in their houses and on the street, probably wondering why he was there. He couldn't blame them he looked and felt out of place and wanted to get back home. Curse his deep thought.
"Hey!" A voice from behind him called. Raven ignored the call and continued walking down the street. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" The voice called from other end of the street. Raven turned around to face the person who was presumably calling him.
It was the kid he saved from the group that was murdered last night "Oh it's you" Raven said, as the kid and a couple of his, if Raven had to guess, friends approached him.
The kid had a smile on his face "I just wanted to say thank you for saving me last night" his companions nodded in agreement. Raven stared at the group with unblinking emerald eyes "You're welcome" The teen stated before he turned around "Hey wait!" One of the kids friends grabbed Raven by the arm. Emerald eyes looked down to the arm then to its owner "I am going to give you to the count of three to let go of my arm before I break yours" he said in a low tone.
The person who grabbed his arm was the oldest in the group "Look I appreciate you saving my brothers life last night! But are you involved in the deaths of those Socs?" The man demanded. Raven raised a brow at him "If you must know all I did was punch the guy drowning your brother in the fountain, while his friends laughed like it was the funniest joke in the world, then I broke some other guys arm and leg. I threatened the rest of them and then they ran like the cowards the were." Raven told the older brother truthfully though the man looked doubtful but he kept quiet and let go of Ravens arm.
The middle guy looked between everyone "Well, we never caught your name uh?" The guy pressed "I never gave it" Raven said. The kid looked at Raven "But you told me and Johnny that your name was Raven"
"And that is all you need to know" Raven snapped "Well then, my name is Ponyboy Curtis and these are my brothers Sodapop" the middle guy waved "and Darry" 'Darry' just continue to look at the vantablack haired teen with suspicion.
Raven rolled his eyes at the three brothers "Well don't you have unique names" but before any of the brothers could talk, Raven had started to walk off "Look I have places to be so I have no time to chat" He lied and walked off leaving the three brothers standing in the middle of the street "Well he's a pleasant guy" Sodapop muttered.
'That was really awkward' Raven thought as he walked away 'I need to figure out what happened last night. They did run away after I hurt their friend, so what could of happened'
That night, Dursley household.
Time 7:09 pm
After doing a little investigating around the park, the police station and the hospital were the bodies were being held until the funerals have been arranged, Raven made his way home and found himself at a loss. From what he gathered, the bodies have been ripped to pieces all but one strangely enough. He looked like he aged a century from the last time he was seen alive.
"What kind of creature could of done this? It definitely wasn't a werewolf nor a vampire. Could it of been a rogue Beowolf? No even rogues beowolves hunt in small packs." The teen muttered to himself as he walked up the steps of the house. Once he reached the door, Raven noticed that the house was oddly quiet considering the type of people he lives with.
Raven put one hand on the door handle and began to gently open it. He held out his other hand as a pink blob snaked around his arm down to said hand, the blob began to morph into a weapon, a scythe to be specific. (Try and imagine Qrow Branwens Scythe)
Entering the house, the scythe wielding teen looked around to see if anyone was home. He glanced at the sitting room and saw that there had been a struggle, that or Dudley had thrown a tantrum and Petunia was expecting him to clean up the mess.
Raven scoffed at the thought and continued his look around "The kitchen is the same as it was this morning. Is she that lazy she won't clean up that pigs droppings?" He sneered in disgust at the filthy kitchen.
Over the years Raven had developed his hearing so now he could hear the smallest of sounds and had always kept his guard up no matter where he was. Raven heard a door creak open and immediately pointed his scythe at the door ready for a fight.
What surprised was not what came out of the bathroom but who. The battered and broken body of Dudley Dursley using his arms to pull him along "Help me" he cried in a raspy voice as blood poured out from the wounds across his entire body, Raven was a little surprised that the pig survived as long as he did. Raven raised his scythe and swung it down at his cousins neck killing him. Dudleys soul floated over his corpse "Here Akumu, enjoy" Raven said as his scythe partly morphed back into the pink blob which gladly devoured Dudleys soul.
"Awww, but I was going to kill him!" A voice whine from behind Raven, who turned around with inhuman speed and slashed his scythe at the voice. Unfortunately the owner of the voice wasn't behind him, neither was the wall.
"I wonder what trait your soul has?" The voice giggled all around him. Raven narrowed his now pink eyes and held his scythe tightly as he surveyed the room "My trait is for me alone to know" he snapped at the giggling voice "My my such anger~" the voice cooed at him.
"This isn't anger, this is me annoyed" he hissed at the annoying voice.
Footsteps could be heard from upstairs, Raven knew it had to a trap. Even so he made his way to the stairs "Though the longer I spend in your presence, the more your soul starts to feel-" the voice was cut off as Raven had slashed at the thing. The body, that Raven had just slashed at tumbled to the ground as blood started to pour from its wound. He got a good shot on the thing that presumably killed his family, from its shoulder all the way down to its waste. It wouldn't survive the wound was fatal and it was losing a lot of blood, why waste the opportunity to get some answers?
Raven stood above the fallen creature with narrowed eyes "Alright asshole, you're gonna answer every single one of my questions or I'm going to peel you like a banana!" Raven threatened. The creature nodded weakly with fear growing in its eyes.
"Good! Now tell me, what are you?" Raven questioned.
"A demon" came the raspy response.
Raven blinked he was not expecting that. "Alright 'Demon' who is your master? Mazikeen? Abbadon? Oh don't tell it's Sadiya?"
The demon looked horrified how could this human know the names of these ferocious warriors of the demon realm?! "Zalgo"
'Zalgo? Who the ever living fuck was Zalgo' Raven thought to himself. Looking back to the dying demon "And what was your mission?"
The demon looked reluctant but knew that this small human would live up to his threat "To find his youngest child, Lazari"
Raven remembered one of his original questions from this morning "Who killed those teens last night? Was it you?" He demanded.
The demon nodded weakly "I was hungry for human souls"
So your tore them to pieces like you did my family?" Raven said in disgust. He looked to his lifelong friend with a raised eyebrow, Akumu formed two arms and shrugged. "Ah well I think I got what I wanted. Thank you for your cooperation" Raven smirked as he held out his hand, a pink soul appeared.
The demons eyes widened "No… a pink soul- You're the-" the demon began to ramble and beg for mercy. Raven ignored its pleas as his soul transformed into a spear "The PINK trait. A Bête Noire." He looked to the demon with Akumu floating over it with tendrils sprouting across its pink body. Said tendrils attracted themselves to the demons arms and lifted the poor creature into a standing position as blood poured all over the floor "The soul of FEAR" Raven gained an unnatural smile on his face "Don't worry, I'll make this quick" he spoke gently to the demon as if it was a child.
The demon continued to plead and thrashed in Akumus hold. Raven threw the spear at the demon, piercing its chest and back, the spear had the demons soul attached to it. The teen pulled the spear back and held the naturally black soul in his hand "Here 'Kumu, this should keep you full" Akumu let the dead demon fall to the ground and began to chomp on the soul. The demons body burst into flames leaving nothing not even a speck of dust.
"I think it's time we introduce ourselves to the world Akumu" Raven said after giving the house a thorough clean leaving no evidence of anyone living there.
Akumu plopped itself on top of Ravens head and gave something similar to a purr "Yeah you're right. Maybe we should find out why there is giant gaps in my memory first. But where to look, is the question."
My god that was a lot to write.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed and please review.
Also I'm done with the outsiders I just wanted to use it since I'm reading it.
