Hope

Desire: Chapter 1

Damian

I waited in the training room for Raven, I was there a little early but that was because I had a nightmare about my mother Talia. She died a while back when I was about thirteen I'm eighteen now so I don't understand why shes in my mind now.

Raven came in with her workout clothes on she wore a black shirt with some shorts. She had let her hair grow out over the last few months so it stopped just below her shoulders now. Titus my dog that she gave me got up to greet her. She bent down and his kissed his head. Her hair falling around her face. I couldn't help be amazed. She looked up and caught me staring.

"What?" She giggled.

"Nothing, let's just get started." I said to her. I feel her hand on my arm while I'm grabbing some wrap for her hands so she can stat with the punching bag.

"Did you have a nightmare last night?" How'd she know. Was she using her telepathy? I thought we talked about this?

"I thought we talked about not using your telepathy thing like that?" I was angered, but her face scared me. She looked hurt.

"I wasn't Damian." She got a little louder. "You know what I need a break today." She stormed off and Titus followed her. That dog is a traitor. He follows her whenever I make her mad or upset. He's supposed to be my companion.

I should have just heard her out, maybe she just noticed I possibly had a nightmare because she's had them before and she knows how I look when I get one. I probably was punching the bag harshly causing her to question.

I was angry after having a dream of my dead mother. I never think of my mother like that. The Al Ghul's did not have feelings towards each other we were trained assassins, feelings and emotions were a weakness.

I never express my feelings or emotions, sometimes not even to the one person I trust, which just walked away from me. I shook my head in annoyance I had to go after her.

I walked the hall that our rooms were on together, I stopped in front of her door. I knocked lightly, I heard Titus bark quietly but nothing from her. I sighed I knew she wasn't going to talk to me for a few hours, that's fine I'll be here whenever she's ready to come back. 

I headed back to the training room to at least finish my workout. I went back to bag. I was punching it over and over again. I heard the chains clank loudly and then punched it one last time before it fell to the ground.
