Okay! Now that that's done, I want to dedicate this chapter to everyone who gave me words: Red, Possessed Angel, byebyebb18, and Instant Coffee. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!
Um, there is a reason as to why I haven't updated. Sherri didn't want to write this fic anymore so I though I was gonna drop it because I'm also in the middle of two other fics. So now, I, Emily, am the only one still writing. Also, I have been having some troubles this summer. My grandmother went to the hospital for Breast Cancer, my parents are thinking of splitting up, I had several huge fights with my friends about Teen Titans, and one of my best friends is in the hospital because his grandfather beat him. I actually just saw him the other day. He woke up, but isn't doing so well. Anyhoo, I'll try much harder to write faster. I AM SOOOOOOOOO SORRY!
On with it!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing accept my cat. Don't rub it in.
The Titans walked into the living room in silence. Starfire, Daemon, and Raven were all soaked and Robin and Cyborg were giving Beast Boy looks of confusion. Beast Boy ignored them and he sat down next to Raven on the couch. All it took was one look from her, and he decided to sit on the floor as far away from her as possible.
"Why don't I get everyone some towels?" Robin broke the silence, making Starfire jump a little.
"That would be most appreciated, friend Robin," Starfire answered as happily as ever. She looked over at Beast Boy and smiled.
'At least someone doesn't hate me...' he thought. Cyborg glanced around the room.
"I'm gonna get a soda. Anybody else want one?" He asked his fellow teens.
"Certainly. A carbonated beverage would quench my thirst most efficiently!" Starfire beamed at him while Beast Boy just nodded.
"I'll make some Herbal Tea," Raven said monotonously. "Do you want anything, Daemon?" Her face seemed to soften somewhat when she looked at him. Beast Boy noticed this and scowled.
"Um, do you have baby's blood, perhaps?" He asked innocently. Everyone in the room other than Raven fell to the ground. Raven shook her head. "Then I shall have some Herbal Tea as well. Thanks Rae!"
"It's Raven and you're welcome," Silently she walked into the kitchen area with her cape swishing around at her feet. Robin entered with a few fluffy towels in his arms.
"Yo, Rob, ya want a soda?" Cyborg asked.
"Sure, why not?" Robin answered, seemingly unaware of the tense auras around everyone. He handed two towels to Daemon and wrapped one around Starfire. He made sure she was snug and then put his one arm around her. They both tried to keep the blush off their cheeks. Daemon looked at them with a sort of longing in his eyes. Beast Boy missed it because he was focusing on Raven.
She must have sensed his stare because she looked back at him. Her face was straight, but Beast Boy could see the anger in her eyes. Beast Boy mouthed 'Sorry' and she nodded curtly. She and Cyborg came into the room again. Raven sat next to Daemon and Cyborg at on the other side of her.
"Raven, do you wish to tell us what is happening?" Starfire prodded gently. Raven didn't look at her but focused on the floor.
"Not really, but I suppose that if Daemon is here, I have no choice," Raven said quietly, but everyone heard hat she had to say. Taking a deep breath, she started to speak of her past. Something few people in the world knew about. "My mother's name was Arella. She was born here on earth. Arella was considered odd and her own parents didn't understand her ways. When she was eighteen, she joined a church like group called Brother's Blood. She fell in what she thought was love with the head man there. His name, at the time, was Michael. He took advantage of her one night, and raped her."
'What? No!" Beast Boy started. The others looked at Raven as if she had grown another head. Daemon looked rather like he had already known this about her. He put his arm around Raven who looked like a lost little girl. He murmured something in her ear that Beast Boy couldn't hear. Raven nodded and then took another sip of her tea to steady herself.
"Yes, Beast Boy. It happened. Soon after my mother found out she was pregnant, she told 'Michael.' It was then that he showed her his real colors. My father, Trigon, is a demon from the Underworld," Raven's face no longer seemed as though she were sad. Now she looked angrier then she ever had before.
'She looks like she did when Dr. Light battled with us,' Beast Boy pondered while looking at Raven's eyes that were flashing dangerously. Cyborg's soda fizzed all over his self due to her emotions.
"I'm sorry, Cyborg," Raven told him in slightly rushed tones. He waved his hand as if to tell her that it was all right. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos..." She chanted slowly now to calm herself down. Beast Boy saw that Daemon smirked slightly at the sound of that. Beast Boy felt his anger rush to his face, but before he could do anything, Raven had started talking again. "Well, then after that, my father wanted a new heir. He was ruthless to my mother, but decided to let her live. My mother ran away not too long after that. She wanted to save her child," A rare smile seemed to pass over her face, if just but a second. "She wanted her baby even though it would be half-demon."
"Three guesses who the baby was and two of them don't count," Daemon still had that smirk on his face. Raven playfully swatted at him lightly.
"Shut up and let me tell them the rest of the story. The baby was me as I'm sure you all knew," Raven paused here and looked at her friends. Robin had a slight grin on his face, Starfire still looked rather shocked, and Cyborg nodded his head in an understanding way. Raven's eyes traveled to Beast Boy's and he guessed that his face looked amazed with his dropped jaw. Raven used her powers to shut his mouth and frowned at him.
"Raven, do you want me to tell the rest of the story since you seem to be pausing so much?" Daemon asked her. His tone sounded nice, but also somewhat agitated. Raven pushed his arm off of her and glared at him.
"Dzisiaiw betlejem wesotla nowina ze panna czysta! Pordzitla syna chrystus sie rodzi. Nas oswobodzi anieli graja krole witaja pasterze spiewala bydyleta klekaja cucda oglaltaszaja (You of all people should know that this is my story to tell. This is what I am living for. This is what happened. I am the only one who can tell it because no one else in the world knows how I could possibly feel.)," she hissed at him in a language that Beast Boy had never heard before. Daemon, however, knew what she was saying and instantly shut up.
"Sorry Rae-," her glare intensified, "-ven," he finished hurriedly. She stopped glaring at him and focused on the floor again.
Okay, here's the next chapter! Sorry that it's so0o0o0o short! It was originally supposed to be much longer, but I'm going on vacation for a while and I thought I'd post what I can now. Okay? I hope everyone forgives me about not updating! I'll get the next chappie up really really soon! Sometime next week, okay?
The language I used was Polish. Not because I think that it's a demon language, but because I have Christmas Tradition books written in Polish so I can just write that down. In English, this is what the first thing Raven said meant:In Bethlehem, in Bethlehem, tidings ring triumphant! Sweet Virgin Mary, sweet Virgin Mary, bore the Holy Infant. Born is our Savior, born our redeemer, angels are playing, kings tribute paying, shepherds all are singing, sheep and oxen kneeling, Lo! What wonder! Each proclaiming.
