My Inner Demon (A BBRae Fanfiction)

I Am Not My Father

I am not my father.

I refuse to acknowledge that I am anything comparable to him.

You see, there is a difference between being and acting like what you are.
I just happen to be half-demon. Though I wholeheartedly detest everything that that represents.

I chose not to follow in the footsteps of my father. I chose to be a hero; someone who saves lives and does good rather than to destroy and use my powers for what they are meant- for evil.

My name is Raven, daughter of Trigon- the universe's most feared being.

I am not my father.
I am not evil.
I'm a part of the Teen Titans- a small but strong group of teen superheroes who dedicate their lives to the safety of others; the only people in this universe that see me as I truly am.
They are my true family, and they help me keep my inner-demon at bay.

My life is pretty similar to every other teen superhero. I save lives on a weekly basis.
I am content.

The only problem is that in order to protect myself from the ways of my father I must Burt my emotions completely.

I'm afraid that won't be as easy as it used to, because of BeastBoy.
For years I have treated him as if he irritates me all the time. But he doesn't.
Unfortunately I think I am experiencing what humans call a "crush".
I've been ignoring it, but I don't know that I can much longer.

For the first time in my life I can not control my emotions. And that terrifies me.

If I'm not careful, I could destroy everything and everyone that I have come to love.
