Fan Fiction ❯ Bad Blood ❯ A house with no doors ( Chapter 2 )

* Another dark alley*

 

“Why are we heading down this way?” Raven asked.

 

“Because I made a building with no doors.” The kid in black replied. As they approached a wall the kid put his hands out and the wall turned black and melted away revealing a living room.

 

“We should go to Titans tower.” Raven said after she saw the house.

 

Then with a smirk he said “you just don't get it they're here and coming for our kind. If we go there they will see us and hunt us there, but here no one but those who know what to look for can find us.”

 

“So I assume they are the paladins of flame.” She said coldly.

 

“Yes about four years ago they launched a crusade to destroy the dirty bloods as they call us it started out just a few crazies stoning us if we went into the wrong alley. Then a group of us attacked their headquarters and killed them all hoping to stop the bloodshed. It became a media event half-bloods burn paladins to the ground. Soon everyone came after us entire armies began hunting us and we were forced to go into hiding. I became a leader of a group of us who had a new goal create an underground for us to escape too. We got about seven planets set up when there was an attack on the base we were at and we all broke into groups I lead them as far away from the secondary base as I could here. Now about 20 paladins are here with thousands on the way I've killed as many as I could but they won't stop till I'm dead. That about sums it up.” He told her.

 

“How many more will you kill to survive!?” She asked. “How many of their lives are yours worth?”

“How can you say that you should know best... They ridiculed us before now its full on genocide. When I find the bolt of light I'll kill them all; even if it cost my life.” He trailed off. “You'd better leave they're coming.”

 

“Wait what's your name?” Raven asked.

 

“They all call me Blood.” He replied. “To late they're through.” Even as he spoke the words the wall burst into flames and men poured through wielding swords. Blood took out his knife and slid the blade across his hand. He then raised it up with out a drop dripping to the floor until a spike of blood shot out of his hand and into the closest charger. He followed up with his knife and gutted the first to get in range. One of the warriors charged Raven with sword in hand she blocked with hands covered in a black light. “Stop using your powers in a second they are gonna disable them.”

 

“How can they do that!” She yelled as she dodged an other slash.

 

“Power of the Light Bolt, kill him fast before they finish the ritual.” He hollered back.

 

“I can't kill him I'm a Titan!” She yelled still fighting to knock him out.

 

“Then you'll die!” He yelled running to her. “Let me do it.” He then brought the knife under his chin and into the brain. When he was pulling the knife out a man charged him from behind; Raven tried her powers but they didn't work so she picked up a sword and stabbed the man. “Thanks I'd be dead if it wasn't for you.”

“Shut up the second wave is coming!” She yelled as another group burst through the door. Once again blood flooded the hall as the battle continued and with every kill Raven made she had no choice but to tell herself it was them or her.

 

“We have to get out of here; a second ship must have landed.” He yelled. Yet even as they fought to get to the new exit men continued to pour in.

 

A starbolt whizzed into the room along with Starfire and Cyborg “ Looks like you could use a hand” they yelled as they busted in. When the titans arrived the paladins began to retreat.

 

“What's going on here!?” Robin yelled as he saw the pile of mutilated bodies.

 

“We were attacked and boxed in we needed to make an exit.” Blood said with out faltering. He was holding his arm which had been cut and blood dripping from his hand. “What the fuck are looking at?!” He yelled right before collapsing.

 

Where the fuck am I. Everything is black. A nevermore? All I remember is a fight with the paladins. Is this death? No, no it's not we were saved by some bastard in tights. Why can't I move. Arg... Shoulder must have taken a hit. Where is everyone? As if they knew exactly what he was thinking a door opened and all the titans but Raven entered the room. “Who are you people?” Blood asked.

 

“We saved your life that's who we are.” Beastboy said.

 

“And you condemned your own.” Blood replied.

 

“Unthankful little prick.” Beastboy said.

 

“I've died everyday death of my body would only make it final.” Blood sneered at him.

 

“Another dark soul just like Raven.” Beastboy said. “You know your dark when you don't laugh at my jokes.”

 

“BB now is not the time to piss him off he just woke up he took quite a hit.” Cyborg told BB.

 

“Why can't I see?” Blood asked

 

“Well because you're blindfolded I don't trust you as far as I can throw you.” Robin said.

 

“I assume I'm also restrained?” He questioned.

 

“Yes we'll untie you when you tell us who you are.” Robin said.

 

“And if I refuse?” Blood asked.

 

“We'll turn you into the police with 21 accounts of murder and obstructing justice.” Robin replied. Blood bit his tongue cause just a small amount of blood to leak out of it then he opened his mouth and spat it. It formed itself into a blade and cut his bindings.

 

“I'm a very dangerous person nothing you can do to me now can scare me and back the fuck off before it becomes 22.” Blood said as he took off the blindfold.

 

“BB was right anyone Raven would want to save would have to be an ass.” Robin said.

 

“Who the fuck is this Raven?” Blood asked.

 

“The girl you were talking too before the fight.” Robin said.

 

“So does that make you the titans?” Blood asked.

 

“Yes, and you're at titans tower you'll be safe for now till you piss us off.” Robin said.

 

“Yea whatever. where is this Raven and when can I get that cloak back?” Blood asked.

 

“She's in her room meditating and when Cy gets the blood out of it.” Robin said.

 

“Hate to break it to you but I'm new here where the fuck is her room.” Blood said.

 

“BB show him Ravens room.” Robin instructed BB.

 

“Okie Dokkie.” BB said.

 

“Right this way, Blood.” BB said making the waiter gesture with his arms. On the way out blood grabbed his knife. BB led him down the hall to Ravens door. “She hardly lets anyone in don't feel bad.”

 

“Doors mean nothing to me.” Blood said; he pricked his finger and placed it on the door and stepped through.

 

“Figured you would come to me first.” Raven said as she meditated facing the window. Beginning to turn around. When she finally did she saw him for the first time. His icy blue eyes staring at her with a scar running over his right eye. Several more scars across his six pack abs with a fresh one still pink on his shoulder. When he waved at her she saw the scars across and up his hand.

 

“First time you killed someone right?” Blood asked.

 

“No, first time in a long time. None of our kind would be alive if they didn't kill at least one person.” Raven replied.

 

“It's sad but it's true. I never used to think that way till the paladins came after us. I lived in an area where every kind of beast alive and a few that weren't were there. Yet out of all them we were the most hated. My dad left me with a cloak a dagger instructions and enough gold to last me ten days.” He told her. “My mother was dead and my father hated me. I was the disgrace of the family to human to survive and to demon to be normal.”

 

“Robin wants to send you to the police.” Raven said.

 

“Will he?” Blood asked.

 

“No not as long as the majority stays on your side.” Raven replied.

 

“ They will come and when they do everyone around me and you will die.” Blood told Raven.

 

“I know I'm planning but there is no easy exit. I can't just leave these people. “ Raven replied.
