"Yes my lord?" A short red headed servant asked as she walked into the throne room of the castle, bowing deeply.

"Find my son a suitable maiden to marry. Someone smart, beautiful, powerful, and young." The king ordered. "I want to give her to him as a birthday gift." He said.

"Yes my lord." She said, bowing deeply again. She walked out of the room, shutting the large gold incrusted oak doors as she did so.

"Raaaaaavveeeeeeen!" The Titans resident changeling called as he ran down the hallway towards the empathy's room.

"Whatever it is, the answer is no." She responded through her door.

"But I brought you–" He tried.

"No." She said again. Beastboy's ears drooped, dejected by her response. He turned and walked back towards the main room, intent on playing video games with Cyborg. He perked up a bit as he thought of the possibility of beating Cyborg at a game that he practiced on.

Raven continued to meditate in her room, trying to pick up where she was before she stopped to talk to Beastboy. The more she chanted her mantra, the more awkward she felt. She could feel the presences of all the Titans, yet there was something off. After thirty more seconds of trying to figure it out, she finally discovered that the issue was an extra presence in the tower. She topped meditating, and got up, determined to find the presence.

She first went to the main room to see if one of the Titans had company, which they did not. She wandered to the roof, then the basement, and all through the spare rooms. She eventually decided that she was imagining things earlier and went back to her room. As she went into lotus position to meditate, she felt an arm wrap around her waist and one cover her mouth.

"Say I word and I'll kill you." A whispery thin female voice said. Raven nodded, partially scared for life, and the mystery woman teleported them to an ancient princess tower. "Don't attempt to use your powers, this castle renders them useless." She said as she let go and left, locking the thick door behind her.

Raven screamed in fury, frustration, exasperation, and aggravation. She screamed because she finally could, and because for once she actually wanted to let out some emotion. She plopped down on the bed they had been nice enough to give her, whoever they were.

"I can't believe I was just kidnapped!" She yelled to the world. "How much worse can it get?" She asked sarcastically. Then the door opened again.

"The king wishes to see you now." The red haired servant said. Raven stood up.

"King?" Raven asked as they left the room.

"So Beastboy," Cyborg started. "What happened with Raven earlier?" He asked

"Shot down as usual." Robin answered smugly from the other side of the couch.

"Shut-up." Beastboy responded.

"Seriously, what happened?" Cyborg asked again.

"She said no before I even asked!" Beastboy said. "I'm gonna go try again though." He stated He set down his remote and jumped up off the couch. This time he went to her door and knocked. "Raven?" He called. Getting no reply, he knocked again.

"Raven, you in there?" He asked. He once again got no response, so he gently slid open the door. "Rae?" He looked around and didn't see her, so he went to look on the roof. He got the same result.

"What did she say?" Robin asked as Beastboy came back in.

"Nothing, I couldn't find her." Beastboy said glumly. Cyborg paused the game as he and Robin turned around.

"What do you mean you couldn't find her? She was supposed to be in her room, that's where she told us she was going." Robin said.

"Yeah man, are you sure she just wouldn't answer her door?" Cyborg asked. Beastboy shook his head.

"I opened her door, she wasn't in there." He said. The boy wonder stood up and walked to the Titans' mainframe, trying to get a lock on Raven's communicator.

"See Beastboy, she's still in the Tower, her communicator signals in Starfire's room." Robin said. "Let's go check." The Titan boys walked down to the bubbly alien girl's room, and knocked gently.

"I will be there in the shortest of seconds!" Starfire called. She opened the door and smiled wide. "Hello friends! Is there something that you have the needing for?" She asked, her brow harrowing in confusion.

"We were just wondering I Raven was in here." Beastboy said, Cyborg and Robin nodded in agreement.

"Friend Raven is not present, what would make you do the thinking that she is?" Starfire asked.

"We tracked her communicator signal here." Robin said, Starfire let them in to look for her communicator, only to find that it had been eaten by Silkie. "No wonder her signal was in here." Robin muttered as they left.

"Well then where is Raven?" Beastboy asked.

"I don't know, but we need to find out soon." Robin responded grimly.

CLIFFHANGER! I know you guys are like 'Evil witch! How dare she leave us hanging!' and I also know that some of you are like 'Shouldn't she be working on her other stories?' Well, to the first group MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And to the second group, I should be, but I needed to write (type) this before I lost it.
