Chapter 1

No, Not My Raven


Raven Roth

Loved Friend, sister, and lover,
were the painful words that Raven's grave bore. Robin couldn't stand to look at it. He had lost her, his darling Raven, forever. She would never come back to him, never. Only in his heart, soul, spirit, and mind would she ever come back to him.

"Raven, please come back to me, please", Robin said as the wind blew his hair around wildly and his black cape (an imitation of Raven's) blew around him.

"Robin, come on man, you need to get home and rest. You've been staying at this graveyard for days now," a voice said behind him.

"I'm sorry Cyborg, but I can't do it. I lost her, and it's my fault. I could have saved her, I know I could've", he said, not turning around to face his friend. Cyborg walked over to him and put his hand on Robin's shoulder.

"No Robin, you couldn't have saved her. Raven's gone now; but I've got some bad news to tell you Rob", Cyborg said. It's impossible to ever see her again." Robin looked up at Cyborg with his red face.

"What do you mean Cyborg, what do you mean we can never see Raven again?" Robin yelled at him.

"Robin, Raven was sent to hell, not heaven", Cyborg said. She was sent to the deepest part of hell, the one nobody has ever survived, even in the name of love".

"No! It's not true! Tell me it's not true Cyborg! Please no, please, please, please no," Robin said screaming in the beginning, and then the yelling was blocked out by his sobs. Robin banged his head on Cyborg's chest and kept it there. Cyborg's face then too began to light up with tears.

"Man I'm sorry, I'm so, so, sorry; but it's true, it really is," Cyborg said through many tears.

Robin looked up at his good friend and said "Why did they do that Cyborg? Why?" Cyborg hesitated and breathed heavily.

"Raven was a good person, but the gods knew she was the daughter of Trigon, the eighth devil, and did not want a half-demon inside of the heavens, and the people of hell wanted Raven with them. So, they decided to send Raven into the deepest parts so that she could never get out."

Robin burst out crying again and cried out "No, not my Raven!" He then just threw himself on the ground, taking his head off of Cyborg's chest. Cyborg looked at his friend as even more tears streamed down his face.

I wish there was something I could do to help Robin, but his grief for Raven has taken over his mind, Cyborg thought. Now he was scared that Robin would now travel down into the dark depth of hell, searching for his long lost Raven. He couldn't let Robin do that. Robin needed to move on, but Cyborg knew it wouldn't be easy.

"Raven, I'm sorry, I can't believe they sent you there. I will never ever forgive those gods for doing this to you," Robin said as his tears washed up Raven's gravestone.

"Raven, I'll get you back to me," Robin said full of determination.

"You ready to go back to the tower Rob?" Cyborg asked.

"Yes Cyborg, I am," Robin said taking one last glance at her gravestone.

"I love you Raven", Robin said as he headed away to titans tower, just as a hand shot up from the dirt of the graveyard.
