Chapter 5: First Sparks.
A Week - A Week and she had barely spoke to him. The occasional Hello, Goodbye, Goodnight. There hadn’t been a single attack on the city by Slade or Anyone else for a week - a rarity. The titans were on edge - they knew Slade would never just stop.
She sat now in the main room. Dallas had his own room now and was no longer sleeping on the couch. She would walk by it sometimes just to feel the warmth that come from it. It was at least 40 degrees hotter then the rest of the house, merely for Dallas’s comfort. The demonic warmth reminded her somehow of Azarath and of happier times. She heard the door open, and instantly knew it was him. She looked up from her book and then quickly back down.
He looked over to her, the two had been avoiding each other sense that day. Sense the first day - well enough was enough in his mind. She was his teammate - he would not allow her to just fade from existence. He walked over and sat beside her.
“We need to talk” he said softly, trying not to interrupt her meditation. Her eyes did not move toward him, so he simply began to talk.
“We cannot continue acting this way toward each other - I think you may blame yourself for what your father has done in the past - when you should not. You are not him, I can tell by your aura - by the way you interact with your teammates...I can see it..you want so badly to be apart of the team, but you know...you know anyone you love..anyone you care for will eventually be taken from you. You feel so cold..so alone..like no one understands..yet you see them try...” she looked over to him, and saw how cold his eyes had become, how deep from within his words came.
Her heart twinged - even though she would not show it. Could it be he knows what its like? To go through life knowing that only death awaits those you care for? Of course he would..Triguns would not of just let him vanish like that. Her father would have hunted him all of his life, and likely killed off anyone he got close enough to.
~Maybe that’s why he’s here...we will not be killed so easily...~ It was a morbid thing to think. It was likely true however. He wanted friends - that would not just be crushed under the angry fist of Triguns. She looked over at him and closed her book.
“I know you do not blame me Dallas - but I still do. I also have reservations still about you being on this team, with our past I cannot trust that you would not strike me down in battle. Even though your words ring of truth - you may be hiding things none the less. Things for us will to be friends will not come easy..not with our shared past...”
She was avoiding the question as always. In truth she still did not fully trust him, he could be hiding things from her like Tara was. With such history - how could he not hate her? If she met one of her Fathers minions she would likely kill them - and at that point that’s all she was - was a minion.
She was about to speak again when the Alarm finally went off. The titans all gathered in the Mission Room, where Robin was punching something into the computer. After a moment he stood up and looked at the group.
“Someone is attacking people on the streets..there have been deaths already - so he is homicidal. This one may have to be taken down the hard way guys - so be careful - TITANS GO!”
The titans booked out the door, Raven creating a disk of her energy for Cyborg to ride on. Starfire carried Robin - and Beast boy flew, Dallas spread his wings and followed. It took only a few moments for them to reach their destination - what they saw nearly brought them to their knees.
Blood soaked the ground, dead bodies - cut into pieces lay every where around. The smell of death hard on the air. Raven looked over to Dallas and noticed his fist was clenched - even if he had good intentions - demon is demon. The reaction was the same she gave to the smell of human blood. Hunger. Hunger could lead to a Rage that none of the titans could control. Raven even feared she could not control him if that were to happen.
The familiar rumbling was deep in her own stomach as well, the smell of human blood - she hungered for it so. The true her within that is - the demon her. She could sense the internal struggle within Dallas as well - at least he was winning his battle.
From the corpses stepped a man, carrying a blood soaked blade. He wore a cross around his neck, long white hair covered solid white eyes. His slightly pointed ears stuck out ever so slightly, his chin was not sharp but more rounded. He had scripture tattooed all over his chest, and wore the bottom of a priests robe. He looked up at the titans after a moment.
“I see you have arrived - and brought the demon scum with you! I had to punish this sinners to get your attention. The rest of you may leave - I am only here for him.” The priest pointed his sword at Dallas - blood dripping from it.
“You killed all these people! You killed them just so you could get our attention!” Robin screamed at the man, who simply nodded yes.
“Now that I have it - You all should not interfere as I kill this demon. It would be bad for those I still hold captive - you see - I have helpers all around. Should one of you interfere - they will kill all the sinners I hold.”
Robin snarled and stepped forward, but Dallas put his hand on Robins shoulder.
“If its me this psycho wants - then its me he gets.” Dallas walked out of the group, and cracked his neck his eyes glaring at the blood coated priest before him. He simply shook his head at the man.
“You call me demon scum - but its you who kills those who are innocent - it is you who defies your own gods will - Thou shalt not kill. You are a hunter - I am sure your angry because of the comrades you sent after me last. I told them, as I am telling you - I am not going to harm any innocents. That is not what I do”
“Lying demon scum! You kill and rape! That is what your kind does - and to think the Teen Titans - Hero’s of Jump City would let a worthless piece of trash like you into their ranks - it makes me loose all hope in this cities future.”
The priest charged forward - lunging the blade at Dallas, who quickly side stepped it and spun around burying his elbow into the back of the priests neck sending him tumbling to the ground.
Raven noticed now..that his aura was screaming to be let loose - she had heard fire demons were vicious warriors. Brutal - fast - strong deadly. They had only a quarter of her fathers men and obliterated his armies - which were quickly rebuilt unfortunately.
“I don’t want to hurt you - but you have hurt all these people - and you will go to jail forever for it. Let your soul rot in that soulless place as penance for the lives you have taken” The priest turned around and swung the blade, Dallas backed up - but wind came from behind the blade and hit the half-demon in the chest - slicing the skin slightly.
Dallas’s eyes narrow - the sight of his own blood. Raven gulps - the poor priest had no chance now. The explosion of flame consumed the area, as Dallas stood there - fully in battle form. His wings twitching, the flame dancing around his flesh like a lover in the night. The priest grinned.
“That is what I was looking for demon! Your true self! I have proven my point to the world! You are demonic scum! And you - “ the Priest looked to Raven.
“Are next - child of Triguns! Oh yes I kn-“ his words were cut off by a hard fist to his jaw, that sent him skipping along the ground, making a sickening crack when he stopped by hitting the brick wall infront of him.
“You will not touch her!” Then a feral roar, his sharp nails glowing black with unnatural flame. Raven shuttered at the feeling of that aura - this movement was a special flame that only of the strongest fire blood could use - most demons simply called it “The Black Death” but to be more accurate - the black flame - destroys the soul of its victim. Leaving them simply a vegetative body for all of existence.
Then - it happened, a shower of arrows. Falling down upon the titans, most had time to react - and leap out of the way. Raven was pushed out of the way - and as she lay on the ground - the priests sword went flying toward her - her eyes widened. ~I’m going to die~ was all that went through her mind - she closed her eyes and awaited death. None came.
She opened her eyes when she felt something very hot drip down upon her. Dallas was standing above, the Kitana piercing just below his rib cage, his red eyes wide and starring down at her, he smiles - blood leaking out of his mouth.
“Are you alright?” She couldn’t say anything, she just reached up and touched his cheek - it was cooler then normal, she looked at the blood flowing from his deep wound. Her eyes narrowed - and the titans shuttered in fear. As she rolled Dallas over on his side, and set a single hand on his face.
“I’m fine...sleep friend..I will take care of this hunter...” The titans had seen this only once before - this murderous intent in her eyes. It had made Dr.Light turn and run back to jail more then once. She stood up and her powers wrapped a shell around The Priest. She snarled and lifted the laughing priest into the air.
“I have accomplished my masters mission! I have killed the evil demon of hell! He will harm no one any longer!” Raven had heard enough - the shell began to squeeze. His air was cut off - The titans would have moved closer. They would have tried to stop her - but they got the feeling that even if they did - this - madman - would just keep coming and keep coming.
“AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!” She screamed at the top of her lungs - and a moment later - blood rained from the sky - and a hunk of flesh landed infront of her. She dropped down to her knees and passed out...
When she awoke she was in the medical bay. Beside her lay Dallas - his ribs tapped tightly but the crimson dye of his blood had nearly soaked them fully. She reached toward him - but Starfire grabbed her hand.
“Rest now friend.” She nodded as the others stepped into the room.
“She awake?” Robin said softly. Starfire turned and gave a smile, indicating a yes. Cyborg and Beast boy quickly followed Robin into the room.
“We were worried about you there for awhile - you’ve been out for nearly two days - You must of exhausted something inside yourself with that last move...well “The Priest” is dead..but you knew that..”
Raven looked over to Dallas and went to speak, but no words came to her.
“He’s in critical condition - we have one of the worlds best physicians headed to the tower to treat him - but even he said his chances for survival are very slim to almost none...the wound..the sword was...covered in holy water - the sword - blessed. Believe in heaven or hell or not - those kinds of things - “
”Will do terrible damage to even a half demon...” The titans got very quiet, as they watched something they had never seen before - a tear. A Tear fell down Ravens face as she closed her eyes and drifted back into nothingness.
