Chapter 1

Title: Prologue

[Author's notes:

I do not own the song 'Whispers in the Dark' by Skillet. It just fitted the theme.

Despite the lies that you’re makin’
Your love is mine for the takin’
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses.


He never guessed what would happen if he let Raven go, he would have never guessed what she’d gone through. After the madness on her sixteenth birthday he’d sort of forgotten that she was a half-demon. It was honestly easy to forget and he couldn’t have ever guessed that the fact that her father was Trigon, an inter-dimensional demon and a powerful one at that, would ever arise again later in life. That is until she turned eighteen and her already slightly abnormal libido went off the charts branching off into pain and bondage something that straight-laced Robin would never venture into.


Despite the lies that you’re makin’
Your love is mine for the takin’
My love is just waiting to turn your tears to roses


The changed in her libido were also reflected in her mood, the mood swings were normal at first until he realized just what the repercussions of denying the demon side of her would entitle and encompass. The changes started subtly at first and then got worse and worse until she almost killed Dr. Light because she liked the way he bled. It was a perfectly acceptable demon answer but he’d forgotten that she wasn’t human again. He’d forgotten until he messed up and called her a monster, refused her in his bed when things got bad and the next day she was gone.


I’ll be the one that’s gonna hold you
I’ll be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning
Consuming fire


He didn’t know what happened to her while she was gone, for all he knew she was dead or hidden back in the dimensional realm of her home world. He couldn’t have known that she went seeking the other demons for solace and found a demon just for her. A demon with abilities that were similar to hers, a demon more powerful than Trigon teaching her to control the less then acceptable animal urges that she had. He certainly didn’t know what all her special training covered but the letter that he received, that the Titians received was hiding the depth of what this demon was teaching her.


No!
You’ll never be alone!
When darkness comes I’ll light the night with stars
(hear the whispers in the dark)


Raven had disappeared to one of the lesser known realms for safety and human contact, there she met Jayrryan the female twin of Ryanjayr whom she’d heard of in the past. The demon was abnormally friendly, be considering that her twin brother was known to be a prick it was only natural that she would have the friendly disposition. It was a welcome change and the demon welcomed her into her realm with opened arms, happy to have another demon with powers similar to hers around claiming that all inter-dimensional demons needed to stick together.
 

No!
You’ll never be alone!
When darkness comes
You know I’m never far
Hear the whispers in the dark!


Even here the urges went out of control, all the senses that Raven possessed went into overdrive around Jayrryan and even some she didn’t even know that she had. By a complete accident seeking a release of any kind she accidently killed a man with her… lust suddenly turned even more violent taking blood from the man as he screamed and fought her. At first she was broken until an ever sensitive Jayrryan caught onto her plight and taught her to control those impulsive thoughts without shutting the demon out completely.


You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay there broken and naked
My love is
To clothe you in crimson roses


It wasn’t in her nature for Jayrryan to reveal all the truths about herself but she had taken Raven in because of who her father was, because she possessed a strength that drew her demon out and to the surface. She would never tell Raven that she watched as the distraught teenager killed that man. She would never tell the near sexual high that she got from it, the views of the girl taking blood and the stabs of jealousy that it wasn’t her experiencing the ecstasy that the human took for granted. She would never tell because she saw how broken she was and listened to the confession.


I’ll be the one that’s gonna hold you
I’ll be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning
Consuming fire


She was amazed at how fast the affection grew for Raven, and also how little educated that the girl was on the true culture of demons. How little she knew about the delicacies of the demon body and mind and how much they strived to remain even a little civilized. Jayrryan displayed another ability that she would eventually master, the ability to change shape into anything that she pleased and began on with the lessons teaching her how to not so much control the demon’s instincts and reactions as channel them into something effective and useful.


No!
You’ll never be alone
When darkness comes I’ll light the night with stars
(Hear the whispers in the dark)

 

Raven wasn’t expecting the first true test of her control. It had been so odd and almost instantaneous, one moment Raven had been meditating to calm the human side of her mind and the next she’d been pinned to the ground by a very demonic acting and looking Jayrryan. She hadn’t expected it to be so hard to focus during sex, she hadn’t expected to so suddenly loose control after two years of Jayrryan’s brutal but rewarding instruction and she hadn’t expected for her hard won control to be so easily shredded.


No!
You’ll never be alone!
When darkness comes
You know I’m never far
Hear the whispers in the dark!


She hadn’t expected under another two years of Jayrryan’s teaching to fall in love with the quirky but sometimes dark demon, she hadn’t expected that she would be completely unable to control herself during sex. She hadn’t expected that she would find solace in the arms of her father’s people. No, she hadn’t expected any of it. So, she’d been thunderstruck when Jayrryan agreed that it was time to return to the Titans and show them that she did had control over her, to them, less then desirable side and hadn’t expected Jayrryan to come along.


No!
You’ll never be alone
When darkness comes I’ll light the night with stars
(Hear the whispers in the dark)


Her friends couldn’t have been more shocked at her changes in appearance, attitude, style and entire personality or that they were normal sized relatively nice demons wandering around here and there. Especially shape shifting born female demons with interesting war stories


No!
You’ll never be alone!
When darkness comes
You know I’m never far
Hear the whispers in the dark!


He hadn’t expected her to change so much, he didn’t know now painful it was for Raven to have been rejected by him until Jayrryan had explained after she’d been made an honorary Titan. He hadn’t expected for Jayrryan to be her lover and a decent person.


Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark


And no one could have possibly known just how jealous Boy Wonder would get now that his girlfriend had gone from dark and moody to beautiful and meaningful. No one could have guessed just how far Jayrryan’s mate claimed possession went or how far Robin would go to get his girl back. He couldn't have known what would happen if he challanged a demon.
