Chapter 3
(Exile’s Perspective)
Early the next morning, I decided to give up on actually getting some sleep. ‘Damn my demon blood for not needing any sleep, that was the only thing that would have kept me from thinking all night like that.’
I started to walk down the hall, as I passed Raven’s door, with my heightened hearing, I heard her tossing in bed, whimpering in fear. I burst through the door; ‘I’ll fix that later, right now she needs me’ and I rushed to her side in hopes of finding out what was frightening her.
As I approached her sleeping form, I noticed that her room was a mess. ‘Whoa this must be bad for her powers to freak out like this, oh shit.’ It was then that I noticed the shape she was in.
Her sheets were tangled around her body, her body and soaked with sweat. I could hear her chant something over and over, ‘No, this cant be real, Please let this not be real…’ with that, she broke down and cried in her sleep.
That shattered any restraint I had left. ‘I have to do it; I must probe her mind, and help her. I must help her with everything I am.’ I concentrated on the now trembling girl in front of me, and I entered her mind, which was no easy task to accomplish.
Her mind has layer upon layer of wall, to guard herself from an attack in her weakened state. But as I broke through one of these walls, I was sent into a very disturbing sight. Fire and destruction was everywhere. I couldn’t sense any living soul in this place, until I heard cackling laughter, along with a fearful scream. ‘Raven!’ I rushed over to the noise, and what I came across was even more disturbing than the scene around me. There was a man, in black and gold armor, surrounded by an aura of pure evil.
‘I have never felt this much evil in one person ever before…oh shit! Raven is in trouble!’
It was then that Raven came into view. Her black leotard torn to almost nothing, revealing her arms and midriff, which were covered by glowing red glyphs, matching the one on the figure’s forehead. I was about to run up and take this guy down for what he has done to Raven, but then he started to talk. ‘Lets see what he has to say, before I rush in. He may reveal the reasoning behind this horrible dream.’
“Now Raven, did you really think that you could alter your destiny?” The figure said mockingly. “You of all people should know that your destiny is the one thing that can never be changed.”
‘This has gone on long enough! I will not stand by and watch him mock her for his amusement! I will end this now, so she won’t have to suffer any longer.’
With that final thought, I used amazing speed, and got to them in record time. Before the dark figure knew what was going on, I punched him in the face, sending him flying back into a destroyed wall in the ruined city. ‘I know that won’t keep him away for very long, but it will give me enough time to try to wake her up.’
I rushed over to her side to make sure she’s ok. When I got there, she was curled into a ball and was crying loudly. I bent down and picked her up, she didn’t fight me that much, but she made it clear that she didn’t want to be touched. I didn’t listen to her warnings, and embraced her, and started purring like I did last time.
‘I hope this works, I hate seeing her like this.’
(Raven’s perspective)
I fought against the person trying to grab me, but to no avail. As I was about to give up, the person started to make a very familiar sound. It was Ex purring!
‘He came and saved me from Slade, how is it that he shows up right when I need him the most? Am I dreaming him, or did he find a way into my mind to get to me? He wouldn’t give off this sense warmth and security if he wasn’t here, so then he must be here!’
At this realization I embraced him back and cried on his shoulder. And as this feeling of warmth and security soaked in, the world of destruction faded away, leaving everything as it should be.
(Exile’s perspective)
I sensed the shift in the world around us, but I noticed that it was because she felt safe and there was nothing to fear. I smiled, and turned her head to look at me.
“I have to leave now. The longer I wait, the more difficult it will be to get out of your mind.” I said with sorrow on my face. “You need to wake up, I may not be here when you do, but I will keep you safe no matter what.”
She nodded into my chest and I began melt away into the background, heading towards reality.
I snapped out of my concentration after I said goodbye to her. I looked around her room and noticed that everything was a lot calmer. ‘This is how she should always be. Whoa, her room is a mess, I’ll help her clean it later today.’
My gaze returned to the violet haired beauty lying in front of me. ‘Man, I hope she doesn’t think of me as an ass for leaving her here with out an explanation.
What should I do?’
I thought for a few minutes and then it hit me. ‘I’ll give her this.’ I pulled out my family crest, which has two husky like dogs bowing to the crescent moon. ‘This is one of my few prized possessions, she should have it to let her know that I care about her.’
I then took off the pendant, and placed it into her hand and held it for a few seconds. I leaned down, and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. I smiled at her once more, but as I exited her room, I heard her sigh my name. I stood there in shock for a second, but I smiled and left her room.
‘I need to clear my head, and truly think about how I feel about Raven.’ With that, I started my search for a place I could have peace and quiet in order for me to think.
After searching for a few minutes, I found the perfect place to clear my mind, and have a little chat with my instincts. It was inside the Titan’s gym, but it was in a dark corner in front of the window, overlooking the tranquil view of the lake and the countryside.
I sat down began to clear my head of all thought, and focused on communicating with my instincts. Once I was in my trance, I could feel my instincts taking form next to me in the shape of a silver husky.
‘What is the reason you called me into this physical form?’ The dog said telepathically.
‘I need help.’ I replied trying to mask my desperation.
‘Ahh, you wish to know why I have been making you act the way you do around the half demon named Raven, am I right?’ It started to smirk.
‘Yes I would love to know why I’m acting like this towards a girl that I just met yesterday.’ I plainly stated.
‘First of all, do you get a strange feeling about her, like you have known her for all your life?’ Its smirk continued to grow.
It’s going to make me find answers from its riddles, god I hate riddles. ‘Yes, I can’t explain it, but I do feel a rather strange connection between the two of us.’
‘There are only two possible explanations that I can think of to explain this. One is that it is nearing mating season, and you both have demonic blood flowing through your veins.’ It seemed to be in deep thought.
‘What’s the other possible explanation for it?’ I asked, urging the creature to go on.
‘The other explanation is that she is your soul mate. The one person in this world who was made for you, and you for her. But this is a long shot because both humans and demons alike search lifetimes for their soul mates, but few ever find that person.’
‘My soul mate?’ I was completely astonished. ‘How can I know for sure if she really is my soul mate?’
‘That I can’t tell you, you will have to find that out on your own, if she truly is your soul mate, then you will come together. The only thing I can tell you is that the answer lies within your soul, not your head. I must go now, until next time.’ That said, the beast faded into the background.
I stayed in this realm thinking over the new facts that I had acquired. ‘I feel like I can talk to her now and explain a few things, but before I try to see if she truly is my soul mate, I need to talk to my brother and his insane mate, Lilith. That may be able to give me some help with the mating process, and maybe some help on finding out if Raven truly is my soul mate.’
With my quest for answers completed for now, I decided to do a little training, until Raven arrived seeking her own answers.
(Raven’s Perspective)
I awoke shortly after Ex saved me from Slade in my horrifying dream, but this time isn’t like all of the other times.
‘I have had this same dream ever since Slade returned, but this is the only time where I haven’t been afraid when I woke up. What makes this time so different? The only difference was...Ex…’ My eyes widened at that thought. ‘That’s right! He showed up and stopped Slade from hurting me. Why would he do that? And more importantly, how did he know I was in trouble?’ I sat in shock at the fact that Ex might have actually done this for me.
As I was thinking, I noticed that Ex’s aura felt really strong near my bed. I was about to find him and yell at him for being a disgusting pervert, when I noticed my door, or the lack thereof. The six-inch thick steel door, that once sealed my room from the rest of the tower, now laid in pieces across my floor. ‘Holy Shit! He must have been really concerned to be able to do that to Cyborg’s enhanced steel doors. This looks like a much more controlled version of when Beastboy changed into that uncontrollable beast in order to save me from Adonis. But, Ex saved me from my horrible nightmare, no one has ever done that for me.’ I smiled as I attempted to get some more sleep before I find the true reasoning behind his actions.
As I was about to go back to sleep when I realized that my lips were tingling slightly and gave me the same feeling as Ex's aura around my bed, ‘If he was really in here, that that means he kissed me’ I blushed deeply, and covered my face with my hands, only to find something in my tightly clasped fist. Upon investigation to what it actually was, I found it to be a pendant of some sort.
‘What’s this? It’s a pendant with dogs and a crescent moon, but why do I have this?’ I lifted the pendant up to examine it. In the very center of the crescent moon, there was a beautiful black jewel.
‘Why did he give this to me? This feels like it has something special behind it. First he kisses me, and then he gives me this pendant. I really need to talk with him. But I also have to talk to my emotions, so I can attempt to sort out what I’m feeling towards Ex, and to see if they can help me decipher this feeling that I’ve known him longer then we actually have.’ I took the black chain attached to the pendant, and placed it around my neck, and I instantly felt the same calm feeling I felt the two times Ex embraced me. ‘This is very weird. Now I defiantly have to speak with them.’
I walked over to the portal to my mind, which is housed in an ancient mirror, and crossed into the dimension where my emotions run free.
Darkness is everywhere, jagged rock arches leading to my emotions homes; this is my mind, my safe haven. But my emotions weren’t in their homes, they had sensed my distress, and awaited my arrival.
‘What is happening to me?’ I asked them. 'I just need an explanation, I don’t know what’s going on with myself.’
For once my emotions were speechless. None could think of a reasonable explanation. That is until a voice spoke up in the back. A voice I’ve never heard before.
‘Maybe you care deeply for him, and he cares for you.’ I looked around to see the face of this new voice. Then my other emotions parted so that I could see her.
‘Who are you?’ I asked. I know she is one of my emotions because she looks like me, but I’ve never seen her before.
‘I am love. You have been suppressing me all of your life due to all your thoughts of being worthless and that no one could love you because of your being a half demon.’
I stood there, speechless, for several minutes trying to piece together what love had just told me. ‘If you are love, then why didn’t you show up during the Malchiar incident? I cared for him deeply, and you didn’t show up then. Why is that?’ I asked trying to
prove her wrong.
‘Well, you never truly cared for Malchiar. You always had a feeling of distrust towards him, but he seemed to be the only one that could understand you, so you didn’t pay attention to that feeling. But because there was still a strong doubt in your mind about him, I didn’t show up. But Exile is different. All of his actions haven’t had a hidden meaning behind them. Malchiar on the other hand, was making you stronger for his own reasons. Exile has also been there for you right when you needed him. He has saved your life in reality, and also from the horrible nightmare. In addition to those times, he has saved you once more with out you even realizing it.’ Love was smiling at the state of shock I was in.
I knew everything she was saying was completely true, but how else could he have saved me, and without my knowledge too? ‘What do you mean there is one more time?’ I asked not bothering to hide my confusion.
Love merely walked up to me and touched Ex’s pendant that was hanging around my neck. ‘Don’t tell me you didn’t sense a special meaning within this pendant? This pendant has a deep meaning behind it, but I haven’t quite determined what that meaning is just yet. But that isn’t how he has saved you with this.’
‘Then how?’
'This pendant has some sort of magical powers within it, that has calmed you somehow. And it has also completed your control over your emotions. From what I can sense, as long as you wear it your emotions will no longer grow out of control. And as long as you keep him close, you will always feel safe.’
I was blushing completely at this point. Then realization hit me ‘You mean that I….’
Love nodded with a full-blown smile on her face. ‘You want to be with him and be safe with him and maybe even become his love.’
I covered my face with my hands, blushing an even darker shade of red and I nodded in confirmation. ‘I want to be with him. He is the only person that has ever truly thought that I have nothing to be ashamed of about myself, the only person who has ever been able to comfort me after one of my nightmares. I want him to protect me; I want to be with him. I finally feel complete when I’m in his arms…I love him’ I was shocked at my openness.
‘Now you need to find him, and tell him. There is nothing else I can do for you, but we will be here for you when you need to talk.’
I nodded and exited my emotion’s realm, and returned my room.
“I need to find him, but where would he be?” I began to try and pinpoint his location in the tower using my powers. ‘Damn he’s good at masking his aura. Wait, there he is!’ Right when I found him, I teleported to his location so I wouldn’t lose him again.
When I stepped out of the portal, and realized where he was, he was in the gym. ‘He must be training, I hope he won’t be upset if I disrupt him.’ I started to worry what he will do when I disrupt him. But all thought escaped me as I saw him training before me.
