(Author's Note) Ok, as you've hopefully all seen on my sidebar, I've changed stuff about some characters that aren't mine. You've seen it before with my having some characters come to know the Lord, as well as some chages about where they live/go to school. In the rest of this story (and the next one and the other one that I'm still working on) there is a much bigger change to a character. That character is Raven.
In the comics as well as the Teen Titans Animated Series, she is the child of a demon and her powers have to do with witchcraft. Both of these aspects of her character I feel are not right in my story. But I love the character of Raven, so I've kept her in my stories, but I've changed a lot of the stuff in her past. She is a main character for the rest of my stories, so you'll be seeing the changes a lot. I hope that you will be able to cope with my changes, and I hope that you may come to enjoy her new storyline in my stories. (btw, just so you know, during the next few chapters there is a lot of stuff having to do with Satan and his demons, but I've kept it "family friendly") And now, without further ado:
Chapter 16
Raven’s Fear
Mon, July 10th, 2056
“So are you coming to Youth Group on Wednesday?” Wolf Woman asked Grey Wolf.
“If nothing comes up that would keep me away, then yes. I’ve missed the last two because of missions,” he answered, “So what has Bob been teaching lately?”
The Wolf Pack was walking around Teen Titan Headquarters, just talking.
“Right now we’re going through lessons about witnessing.” White Wolf told him, “It’s been really helpful; Bob’s done a good job.”
“Yeah, he’s answering all of my questions, like what to say and how to start a relationship that will later lead to opportunities.” Wolf Woman said.
“Sound’s cool,” Grey Wolf said, “So yeah, I’m planning on being there, as long as I’m not on a mission at the time.”
“I’m sure that Robin won’t make you miss too many weeks in a row,” White Wolf said, “I mean, he goes to our Youth Group, and I’m sure that he knows that you really like being there. It’s just that we’re still getting situated, with all the new members and stuff like that.”
“I’m sure that it’s a little hard on him too,” Wolf Woman said, “With all the things that need organizing and stuff like that. I’ve had to do the dishes 3 times already this week; we all have to make sacrifices until everything gets organized.”
“3 times? I’d rather miss Youth Group 5 times in a row than have to do the dishes 3 days out of the last 4!” Grey Wolf joked.
Wolf Woman knew he was joking, but rolled her eyes anyway, “Oh come on, Grey Wolf, I know that you hate dishes but I also know that you would choose dishes over not going to Youth Group!”
“Maybe…”
Before she could reply, Wolf Woman saw someone walking down the hall towards them. “Hi Raven,” she said.
Raven just walked by, seemingly unaware that they were even there.
“Hi, Wolf Woman,” Grey Wolf said once she was out of earshot, mimicking Raven’s voice. Wolf Woman elbowed him in the side, “What?” he asked, “I mean, that was kind of rude how she just ignored you there.”
“She’s been doing that a lot lately,” said Wolf Woman, “I’m used to it. But I still say hi and try to be friendly to her. I just wish I knew why she was doing that.”
“Why does Raven do anything that Raven does?”
That earned Grey Wolf another elbow in the side. “Stop it, you’re being rude!”
“All right, I’m sorry,” he said, “It’s just that I’m getting tired of this, her always acting like we aren’t here.”
“So you’ve noticed too?” Wolf Woman asked.
“Well, yeah, I’m not totally stupid.”
"I never said you were.”
“How about you, White Wolf?” Grey Wolf asked, “Have you noticed Raven acting like that at all?”
“Yes, I have,” she said, “I’ve been praying for her a lot. You know what Robin and some of the others told me?”
“What?” they asked together.
“They told me that she talks to spirits.”
“Really?” they said together.
“Wow, that’s bad.” Wolf Woman said.
“I know, I’ve tried to talk to her, but she’s so closed up,” White Wolf said.
“I think that we should all pray for her,” Wolf Woman said.
“I agree,” Grey Wolf said.
____________________
“I haven’t been hanging around them, just like you said.”
“But there are others around you, and you‘re still with them. Why are you disobeying?”
Raven felt a sharp pain in her mind, which quickly released, “Ow. I’m trying to avoid them, but some of them I have to be with sometimes, like Robin, he’s the one who gives me assignments; I have to be with him, at least sometimes!”
“Maybe, but you’re with him even when you aren’t being given missions.”
Another sharp pang, “I’ll do better.”
“You’d better.”
“Why am I doing this, again?”
“Because they’re enemies of everything that I stand for, which you stand for too, right Raven?”
“Right… I guess.”
“What do you mean, ‘I guess’?”
“Of course I do. It’s just that…”
“That what?”
“Nothing. Is there anything that you want me to do today?”
“No, just stay away from anyone who’s a Christian, and even those who are just in danger of their influence. They’re dangerous, Raven.”
“All right.”
The voice left her head and Raven’s mind cleared. As she stood up she thought about what she’d been told. It seemed like it had all been a dream, but she knew it was real, she was used to it. After all, she’d known her "spirit friend" since she was nine. At times he scared her, but she’d found a small amount of comfort in her talks with him. The only comfort she’d ever felt.
