Worlds Collide

Chapter Nine: Blood Bath

When she returned home, she was covered in rain and a little bit of blood and smoke. Raven had gone out at the wrong time and she almost lost herself. She didn't approach David of course, but she saw him before she fell down into the cemented pipes. London was full of those everywhere, and she had to be careful about not flying into them. Sadly this time she did. It got too much for her to bear, and she got so congested she fell into a pipe and almost into the burning flames. Well, she did fall into the burning flames. It almost killed her. She fell in and instantly was burned, almost alive. It tore off some skin and she flew up, but she smoke was almost too much and she became so blinded and congested she was close to fainting and fatally falling back in.

  She went back to her home and she was in agonizing pain. Blood was dripping down her body and skin was washed in ashes of the smoke. Raven couldn't take it, so she walked to her bathroom and stripped down in there. She turned on freezing cold water and pulled off her clothing. Blood dripped even more down her body, legs, and feet. She put rose petals in the bath, and stepped in. Her feet began bulging black veins, and eventually she laid inside the water, sending her body into shock. Her eyes glowed purple and all of her body was covered in bulging black veins. Liquid started streaming down her eyes and lips while she was shaking so much from her body. She eventually succumbed to the tiredness that came over her and closed her eyes, relaxing her body as the water rose over her neck. She lifted her leg and switched the water off. Her body fully relaxed then, the water seeped into the wounds as blood mixed in, burning her wounded back a little. The rose petals caught onto her wounds and attached to them. She felt a little bit of pain but ignored it. As much as she wanted to scream, she had to relax in order for what she was doing to work.

  About an hour passed, she was fully fixated and relaxed from everything. The petals fell off of her back. The water was warm and the wounds were healed. The water was mixed with blood and ashes, but she still stayed in it before her eyes opened up. Glowed purple faded back to blue as she got up, drained the water, stepped out, and dried herself off, getting dressed as well. When she stepped out, she looked in the mirror at her back to see if the procedure worked. Thankfully it did, and the ashes washed off. She put on a robe and walked back into the living room to sit down. She sighed at all that went down over the past two hours, but she told no one whatsoever. She didn't want to spark any concerns about it, however, her phone went off. She didn't know who'd want to call her at that moment, but she looked down and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey! How are you sweetheart?"

"Hey love! I'm doing great."

"You sure? You don't sound like you are."

"Yeah, I'm fine! I passed out earlier and I woke up barely an hour ago."

"Oh! You okay?"

"Yeah, just got out of breath after you left."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"Its okay, just way to much excitement, y'know?"

"Yeah."
 
  I'm sure by now you're able to guess who that is. He called her up to hear her again. Raven was shocked that he did so, but it made her happy after what went down before, well what actually went down before he called her. David and "Diana" talked for an hour or two. Their conversations became more in depth with one another, even though Raven couldn't be fully honest with him. She was so deep in her love with him that hearing him speak made her well... "anxious" so to speak. She wanted to tell him the truth when they talked but she held back her tounge. Eventually they had to stop talking,  which made Raven a little sad that she couldn't speak anymore. "Okay, it was nice talking to you again!" She said. "It was nice talking to you Di. I... I love you so much honey."
David replied. She remained silent at his words as tears and shock filled her up. "I- I love you too sweetheart. " she replied back. The two weren't dating but it sure as hell felt like it, or were they? Neither of them knew at that point or if they were simply the friends with benefits type.

  Happiness aroused in her. She was really full of happiness with what he had said. She laid on her couch for a moment, flustered with emotion and thoughts. She loosened her robe a bit and got up. She started to dance just thinking about it all. It made her so excited and extremely... well, you can probably guess. She just remained in her home and danced for hours. She eventually walked out and sat on her porch thinking about him. She thought about so much to do with him but was scared of what would happen if he found out. She pushed the thoughts aside and just continued thinking about tomorrow, and the next day, and so on.
