Mutilate

The sun shone down brightly on the demon spawns face. His eyes opened half way because of the suns beams. He looked down to find his girlfriend still tucked away safely in his embrace and snoring softly. A smile was brought to his face at the sight before him. Unfortunately the sight was replaced by the sight of his girlfriend tossing and turning violently, all the while another sob from her became more easy to hear.

Damian let go of Raven and shook her shoulder lightly. Instead of waking up she grabbed a fistful of the bed sheets, her body shaking. He shook her shoulder again but tougher this time, "Rachel, wake up." She still wouldn't awake from her unconscious trance. Trails of tears were more frequent on her face. "Rachel..wake up!" He shouted with worried urgency. Raven immediately sat up, her breath gone. "Breathe for me angel." She let out a deep sigh, then inhaled fresh air. "There you go." He said quietly. The tears were wiped off her pale face using the back of his hand. And just their luck, the alarm went off.

The rest of the day went on as usual until nightfall.

  Raven sat in her dark room. Her curtains pulled back only a little, allowing her to see the rainbow sunset. Her head turned to the door when she heard a knock. "Beloved, can I come in?" He asked gently. She pulled a sweatshirt over her torso to cover her damaged arms then she spoke quietly, "Sure." The door opened then clicked shut. Damian in his pajamas. "Dame..I wanna sleep alone tonight." He quirked a brow, "But you love it when we cuddle and when we sleep together." It's true, Raven usually enjoyed the feeling of her lover protectively holding her as they slept. "Well...I want to be alone tonight.." She paused, "Please?" The son of Batman was obviously confused about her sudden attitude change, "Princess, is there something wrong?" That nickname was new. But in the spur of the moment neither of them cared enough to bring it to light. Her eyes got watery, "N-no I just need to think." Her boyfriends mouth opened as if he was going to say something to protest but instead he closed it, knowing he wouldn't be able to win this fight. "Okay, I love you." He walked up to her and planted a soft kiss on her lips and forehead. He heard a faint 'I love you too' as he closed the door.

She immediately stood up to search for her sharp tool. She spotted the small and shiny devil. The mage proceeded to unzip her skin, letting the red contents flow out. Her worries and frustrations followed the blood that left her body. She looked up at the ceiling, relieved.
