Her thoughts...

'My heavens this man is going to kill me. He is holding no mercy for me! I don't think I can take anymore. I came into this ratchet arena knowing that I was going to be killed, and with Beast watching... I knew it was no hope for me or my baby. I thought she loved me and my daughter. I thought I was her best friend, but she's just one of them.

She had me fooled! I was willing to bet my career on her, and what does she do, she turns her perky little nose up at me!

'I saw this monster approaching, ready to do the finishing off of me, but then...

"STOP!"

"Halt!"

'What's happening? Beast made them stop the unfair match and is now walking towards the arena.

Is that furry I see in her demeanor? She looked as if she was going to cry as she made her way to stand in front of me in a protective stance! She stood before me ready to take down my adversary.

Yes... YES!

I knew that she wouldn't let me fall at the mercy of this creature's hands. Oh thank you... thank the cosmos above that she's still in my corner!

"Ra...Raven?" I whispered barely seeing her as my eyes were swelling from his attacks. She looked at me and winked so slightly that I thought I imagined it.

She then seemed as if she channeled someone else. Her appearance gotten...darker, frightening, almost as if she were possessed! I was about to see my meek and feeble friend transform into the crazed lunatic that these assholes crafted her to be, and I wanted to! I wanted to see the Beast in action.

"Beast! I will have the pleasure of ending your life tonight!" The creep said to her. I shot my eyes up at her, very nervous that he was going to really hurt her.

"Everybody can dream. Why are you so different Capricorn?'" She merely laughed at this humongous, muscled maniac. Weight for weight... size by size... and him being a male made me question Raven's ability to obliviate him.

He then charged her, and she just stood there with an eerie smirk on her face. I then looked back to the sky box, and it seemed that all in company gotten closer to watch this spectacle! One came from behind a black curtain. She was extremely beautiful. Very graceful, but something was familiar about her. Her eyes... her eyes were similar to...

I really enjoyed the pizza that my son put together for me. Dare I say that both my boys could have a prominent future in the restaurant business! My Vegan pizza was... boom, courtesy of Jr heh-heh.

Man I'm in the clouds right now! My boys are just getting along better than I thought. I assumed that with Terra being Dill's mother, that he would be a selfish brat like her, but that's not the case. He embraces Jr and makes him feel welcomed as well. I then look at Terra... and she's just staring at me a bit hungrier than she is for the food.

I knew that that look was! And my answer to her persuasion was... hell mutha f**ckin' naw! I needed out... NOW!!

"Dad, can Jr spend the night?" Dill asked.

'What! Are you a shepherd for the devil boy! Absolutely NOT!!'

"Yeah dad... I'd like to... if that's okay?"

"W-E-L-L... (I extended every vowel and consonant in this one four letter word) maybe some other time son. We have to go school shopping remember?"

"Oh that's right, I forgot." I think he was reading my mind. He seemed to sense that I was starting to get uncomfortable. He looked at me, then at Terra, and got the hint that it was time to go.

"Maybe Dill can come too. Ooh... he could spend the night with us! Then we can go together."

"Yeah mom, can I?" Dill asked with anticipation. Terra looked defeated. I knew that she wanted me and Jr to spend the night with her, but did I mention, hell mutha fu...

"Sure if that's okay with Gar." She snapped me out of my thoughts.

"It's cool." I said not cursing her out in my mind.

"You get the supplies, and I can get the clothes? How's that?" She said.

"It's up to the boys. I mean I am a guy. I think I can handle both tasks.

"All I have to do is think of you. I know your style, and what you like. I can totally do the clothes shopping." She was hopeful. I didn't know what to do, other than be rude. I suppose that this possible expensive wine was kicking in. Terra spared no cost when it came to her alcohol, heh-heh.

(Just to let you know that 'Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2014' is nearly $800 dollars a bottle... just saying)

"Daddy can do it mom. Besides, I want to spend time with him, if that's okay." Dill pouted. Terra looked at him and folded.

"Yeah baby. I'm sure he can." She replied as I was already on my cell with alternate transportation home. This sucks because I knew that I had come back to get my Suburban tomorrow, which meant... 

More Terra, blah!

"It's alright with me. I just want to go home. I have a full day ahead of me. Thank you for the dinner. I'll just take the rest of pizza to go! The boys need their breakfast right."

"Ha-ha... right. Well make sure you get some rest bae." She said and I think I grimaced.

"Yeah." And on point, the Uber driver pulled in front of her house. I motioned the boys to come as they held containers that had the rest of the pizza, then we rushed to the car. Terra stood in the doorway, waving us goodbye. The boys did the same for her, but I didn't look back. I wanted my Rae. I needed me Rae.

'Ugh... where are you!'

Capricorn rushed Raven like a runaway dog sled on wet ice, but as soon as he got within a few inches of her, Raven swiftly connected her fist and elbow with his lower jaw. This single hit caused blood to spray from his mouth very dramatically, while his face lifted towards the sky. There was a wave of 'Ooo's coming from the spectators that sat in the crowds, but Raven didn't care. As Capricorn staggered back trying to catch his footing, Raven was quickly on him.

She seemed as if she'd ran up his body and then kicked him in his face! As he went down, my friend went down with him, still standing, like she was doing the riding of a surfboard, and just simply walked off him like he was a sidewalk, as his back crashed hard to the ground.

This is very impressive! To see her in action was just glorious! She surly is very capable of handling herself, and she came to venge for me! She then looked at me and gave me another faint smile right as Mr. Zodiac was coming to.

I believe that she detected that he was, so she quickly turned and lunged forward like an arrow, grabbing his neck applying great pressure, and took him down again with her natural body weight, straddled him... then drove her pointed knuckles into the center of his chest! The way all his limbs rose in the air from her impact, you would believe that he was getting an electric shock from an AED (automated external defibrillator).

I couldn't help but feel a rise in me! I never in all my life wanted to hurt someone, but watching my best friend beat the crap out of this trash, I couldn't help it! He attacked me like I was a common male thug on the streets! I was beaten like a dirty rug... and I wanted in too.

I scream-growled, rushing to Raven's side, and bit him! YES!... that's right, I bit the cocksucker right in the middle of his face! And as expected, the audience went wild! Raven gave my hand a gentle squeeze, assuring me her protection, and I went wild on this bastard!
