A full year has passed since Copper and Agate have reunited and vowed to restore balance and get vengeance on those who have wronged their descendants, Raven and Charlie.
Charlie's mental stability has improved from the trauma he had endured when he was a child, though he may not fully recover which saddened Copper greatly. And the young demon had a growth spurt making him taller than Raven.
Raven on the other hand, he seemed to have become prone to migraines and nightmares. It started when the two boys had an encounter with one of the most feared demons, her name being Abaddon, one of the Knights of Hell. The two barely escaped with their souls, even with their powers combined, they weren't enough to even scratch the Knight.
Agate, Copper and even Hedwig made the two teens swear they weren't to fight her again, which they wholeheartedly agreed. Fighting regular demons and other supernatural forces was fine, but fighting a literal Knight of Hell? That was utter suicide. Kumu was nearly destroyed and god knows what would happen to Raven if the pink blob was destroyed.
Back to the topic at hand. After that little "encounter", Raven started having migraines out of the blue and would wake up screaming like he was being attacked by some other worldly force. He refused to talk about the nightmares even going as far as locking Agate out of his head.
After a while, Raven stopped sleeping for long periods of time, only taking small naps to make Agate happy. Sadly that didn't help much as sometimes Raven would still make up screaming.
"Ray, please just talk to me!" Charlie begged the older teen who rolled his emerald eyes "I'm fine Charlie!" Raven reassured the demon who shook his head "You're not fine! You woke up screaming again! This ain't normal Ray!" Charlie snapped at the Black Beast who flinched at the time "Please, Raven talk to me. We're all here for you" The Demon sighed as he started to walk away from the older teen.
"Charlie!" Raven whispered, Charlie barely hearing it "I'm-I'm scared." The fear was present in his voice. Sensing her masters distress, Hedwig flew over to him and landed on his shoulder, Charlie walked back over to Raven "Scared of what?" He asked.
Raven looked Charlie in the eyes with tears that refused to fall "That all this will be taken away from me again!" Charlie blinked "What do you mean again?" The young demon asked softly
"This this happened before, chunks of my childhood gone! Last thing I can remember before I was being taken away from the Dursleys and then the next day I was back with them! Like nothing had ever happened!" Raven felt a tear rolling down his face "But this time should anything again, I won't be going to the Dursleys again since they're dead" Charlie nodded remembering the time he was told of the Dursleys demise.
Sighing, Raven continued "I fear that I will placed with someone that would use me for my power" Charlie put his hands on Raven's shoulders looking into his eye, filled with DETERMINATION "Nothing bad is going to happen to you!" Raven snorted in amusement "Sure Char-"
BOOM
The two jumped at the sound of something crashing. The two ran out of the room and were shocked and a little terrified at who had just broken into their hideout.
Charlie, instinctively changed into his demon form. The left side of his body turned black while he gains red eyes, and a crooked red smile. On the other side of his face, Charlie obtains a black sclera and a black crooked smile. Though the smile, no matter how crooked it became, had a nervous edge to it.
As for Raven, his hair mostly turned pink as did his eyes and had Kumu transform into its scythe form.
"Hello boys~" the intruder smirked as she looked around the hideout, she sniffed in distaste, it was just a standard living space. Raven narrowed his eyes at the demon who broke in before turning a glare to Charlie "You just had to jinx it, didn't you?!" The petite teen hissed. Charlie rolled his eyes before both of them turned their attention towards the woman "Abaddon what do you want?" Charlie asked while gripping his soul blade.
Abaddon looked at the two teens amused "Nothing~ just checking up on the two kids who might has as started a war with that idiot Zalgo" the Knight smirked as she sat down at a nearby table. Raven looked at the ancient demon in suspicion "The Same two whose asses you kicked earlier this yeah?" Abaddon raised a cup that magically appeared on the table "The very same"
Standing back up, Abaddon circled Raven with a raised eyebrow "Now imagine my surprise when I found out that the reincarnation of the Bête Noire was none other than the Boy Who Lived, saviour of Wizarding Britain" Raven tensed at her words "And said saviour happened to not only be a descendant of Agate Lightvale" the two looked at Abaddon, surprised looks on their faces.
"Ah! My guess was correct then, you know nothing of your family?" Abaddon questioned. "I only know that my mother and her family were descendants of Agate Lightvale!" Raven spoke, still holding his scythe in an iron tight grip, should Abaddon attack. But he couldn't help but wonder where has he seen her before? He has only heard of her through the stories of forbidden section n the Hogwarts library.
Abaddon tutted as she walked into the kitchen "Not your mother's family dear, your adopted family" her voice echoed from the kitchen. Raven looked confused "What do you mean? I have another family?" Abaddon frowned as she poured tea into two cups "You… truly don't remember then?" She sighed. Taking out a vial of clear liquid, she poured it into one of the cups
Raven shook his head "What family? I'm missing a large chunk of my memory!" Abaddon walked back into the living room with two cups of tea in hand. Raven hesitated when he reached for the cup of tea "You know, its better when its hot" Tur knight smirked as the pink eyed teen scowled at her "Now drink up." She ordered. Charlie narrowed his eyes at her, what is she planning?
Raven's eyes became glazed over and he started to stumble "W-what did you put in my tea?!" He demanded. Abaddon smirked "Did you know that as a person gets older, the memories that have been repressed start slowly making their way to the surface?" The Black Beast slumped to the floor, with Charlie barley catching him "What did you do to him?!" The demon snarled at the knight. Abaddon leaned on the table "Oh nothing, all I did was start the beginning of the end!"
Charlie's glare turned into a look of confusion "What? The beginning of the end?" He asked. Abaddon took a sip of her own tea "The reign of the two "dark lords" is coming to an end!". Raven started to shake in the young demons arms, and then it stopped, Raven's eyes closed. Charlie and Abaddon held their breath.
Everything was silent, no one dared to move.
Raven's eyes shot open, his hair turning completely pink, his sclera turned black with pink irises. Charlie was sent flying across the room by some other force, Abaddon tensed as Raven faced her "Raven? Sweetheart?" She asked nervously "Mum?" Abaddon rushed forward and hugged the fully pink haired teen "My baby! I've missed you so much!" The demon cried.
"Abigail!" Agate said as the original Bête Noire finally decided to make an appearance "It's been too long!" The ghost floated over to the reunited mother and son.
"Agate… I trust you've been protecting my son?" Abaddon or rather Abigail Woods questioned. The ghost rolled her yellow/orange eyes at her "Of course!"
Poor Charlie just looked confused. Abaddon was Raven's mom?! Why didn't he tell him? Was she from his past?
Raven hugged the woman tightly and started to cry "I thought I lost you!" The Bête Noire cried. Abaddon sighed "I know. I failed to protect you and your brothers when those wizards attacked."
Time skip
After everything settled down and explainations were given, Charlie finally understood the situation "So you Abaddon, adopted the saviour of magical Britain?" Abaddon nodded "And your other two sons are two serial killers that became horror stories, Jeff the Killer and Homicidal Liu." Again a nod "And your youngest child was also a saviour and a destroyer?" Raven nodded this time. Charlie slumped in his chair.
