Chapter 7 - Movie Night
Sam: "No Blood Upon the Snow..." Out the window
The moon was a crescent tonight. It's just such a beautiful thing to admire and cherish most nights. It was almost time for the movie on the roof.
Sam: Hope Dick puts the movie on...
He walked out his door and headed for the roof. When he got there, almost everyone else was there chatting, well, besides Dick and Kori, who were cuddling in the back.
Rachel: You want to sit here?
Sam looked to his right to see Rachel gesturing to him to sit down.
Sam: Uh... yeah. Thanks...
He sat down next to her. Conveniently, Dick started the movie right after.
Sam: How are---
Rachel: Thank you... for saving me before...
Sam: You okay?
Rachel: I'm fine... It's just... No one here has ever stepped in for me like you did...
Sam: Well, uh... even the best of us needs some help once in a while, you know?
Rachel: Are you just full of quotes like that?
Sam: No. I'm full of quotes and terrible dad jokes.
Rachel: chuckle
Sam leaned back slightly and looked back at the screen. This was his childhood movie. Rachel then let her knee touch his.
Rachel: You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Sam: Heh?!
Rachel: Calm down. I'm just speaking to you telepathically
Sam: Oh... That's cool. Is it?
Rachel: Unless you mean reading other people's minds, then I guess so.
Sam: I'm just going to... shut my eyes for a second...
Sam shut his eyes for a quick sleep. Rachel was thinking the same thing at the time.
Sam: Yawn Did I oversleep?
He looked down to his right to see Rachel fast asleep on his shoulder. He was pretty shocked; he's never been this close to a girl.
Sam: Um... pokes her head, but she doesn't react You must be exhausted.
Rachel: Mm... huh? She looks up at him
Sam: Crap...
She quickly sits back up and snaps out of her nap.
Rachel: How long have we been like that?
Sam: Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I just woke up too. Oh, hey, here's the best part of the movie!
Rachel looks up at the screen, trying to forget about what just happened.
Sam: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to--
Rachel: It's ok... It felt nice anyway...
They just left it alone for now to watch the rest of the movie. After, they both decided to walk back to their rooms together.
Rachel: So... did you enjoy the movie?
Sam: No, it was terrible. I mean, I've never seen such a horrible movie before tonight.
Rachel: Really?
Sam: Nah, it was great, as always, a classic!
Rachel: Figured as much
Sam: Um... about before...
Rachel: Please don't worry about it, Sam. Besides... you're a good pillow...
Sam: Wait, really?
Rachel: Don't push it.
Sam: Ugh... Well, uh... good night
Rachel: Goodnight, Sam... Slight smirk as she entered her room
Sam then walks to his room next door, feeling a bit different after spending time with her. He lies in the bed and shuts his eyes, hoping for new things to come with his time as a Teen Titan.
Late into the night, Sam was awoken by a strange banging noise.
Sam: Huh? Who's there?
The banging didn't stop. It sounded like it was coming from Rachel's room
Sam: Rae?
He quickly gets up, grabs his sword, and charges through her door. He sees her on the bed shaking, and something was glowing on her forehead.
Sam: Rae, hey, what's happening?
Rachel: He's... he's coming... ugh...
Sam: What? Who?
He looks at her forehead again. The gem seems to be glowing brighter. He attempted to remove it, but the moment he touched it, he entered her mind.
Sam: HOLY SHIT!!!
He faceplanted to the ground. He quickly got up, rubbed his head, and was shocked to see the world around him. It was like hell, but much more demonic.
Sam: What the actual hell is going on?
He turned around to see Raven up on a tower, using her powers to keep something under control.
Sam: Rae? What's going on right now?
Raven: What are you doing here? You shouldn't be in here!
Sam: What? Why?
A weird noise was heard from above him. He looked up to see a figure falling to him. He quickly rolled out of the way before it hit the ground.
???: Ah... So I see you brought a friend, daughter...
Sam: Heh?! Who is this brute?
Trigon: I am Trigon! And I shall conquer your--
Sam: Oh! I thought you were Red Hulk for a second. But the horns... yuck...
Trigon: Enough! You, boy, shall be the first to perish by my hand! He shot lasers out of his four eyes
Sam quickly dodged it, ducking behind a rock.
Trigon: Don't think you can hide from me!
Sam: Just a second!
He quickly jumps back out in his robes with his sword in hand
Trigon: Foolish child.
He throws his fist to the ground but misses, getting cut in the leg by Demi's blade. He groaned in pain for a second.
Trigon: My, my...
Demi: My God... do you ever stop yapping?!
They then engaged in combat, Demi managing to deliver quick slashes to Trigon's weak spots as he made many attempts to crush Demi. At one point, Trigon finally managed to grab Demi by the throat.
Trigon: I may have underestimated you, boy. But not even you will stop me from conquering the world!
Demi then stabbed his arm, causing him to let go. Demi proceeded to stab him in the rib and kick him square in the face, injuring him.
Trigon: Ugh... how dare you---
Raven: That's quite enough, Father!
Raven is seen conjuring up her powers to re-trap Trigon in her spell.
Trigon: This will not be my end, Daughter!
The spell worked, and with the devil injured, he will be recovering for quite a while.
Demi: Ok... catches breath WHAT WAS THAT?!
He then felt himself levitating back up. Next thing he knew, he was back at Rachel's bedside.
Sam: Oh my... Jeez! That was... unpleasant...
Rachel then slowly sits up in her bed.
Rachel: Sam? Are you...
Sam: Are you okay?!
Rachel: I'm... better now, but... how did you... Do that?
Sam: That... is an excellent question, actually... I don't even know what just happened! Who is that guy?
Rachel: I guess I'll tell you... but... I need to rest right now. Can this wait till morning?
Sam: Um... yeah sure... uh... sorry, I kind of... broke your door earlier...
Rachel: Oh, wow. Uh, good timing...
Sam: I'll leave now.
Rachel: Wait! Can you... Just wait here with me? At least until I fall asleep.
Sam: Eh, why not?
He then lies down beside her, keeping an eye on her while she sleeps in case something else starts happening. Meanwhile, he was thinking of what had just happened; it was a lot to take in, but hopefully, most of his questions would be answered in the morning.
-------Perfecto! Hope you guys enjoyed this one!
