Chapter One
Ravens Dream
Everything black...swirling black...Ravens cloak flailing out behind her as she ran as fast as she could. Away...Away from the hand of darkness that is coming...And the VOICES....They kept coming! And a figure appeared in front of her...A familiar pink-haired girl...
"RAVEN! Don't go!" The girl pleaded, extending her hand for Raven to take. "Please don't leave..." The darkness was coming...swallowing everything in its path...It whipped past Raven and out towards the other girl, wrapping around her legs, holding her in place. Once more the girl pleaded, and tears came...She was gone in an instant, dissapearing in a flash of smoke.
And it was after her now. It kept coming, and Raven took off running. Away from it, down the narrow path...Fear gripping her heart as she stumbled off the path and into the swirling vortex
-----------------------
"RAVEN!"
She snapped back into consiousness, and realized she was on the roof of the tower, balancing on the edge, being held back by Robin and Beast Boy.
"How did I-" she began, and shook them off, stepping down from the narrow ledge.
"Sleepwalking again...Maybe you should-"
"I'm fine, thanks," she assured them, and took off towards the kitchen.
----
She went into the kitchen, and began preparing some herbal tea, to calm her nerves. She put the kettle on the stove, and leaned against the counter, waiting impatiently for the water to heat.
"Come on...Come ON.." she thought, tapping her foot. She could feel herself shaking, and she knew she would let something loose if she didn't gain control soon. Footsteps on the stairs only made her more aware that she couldn't let the Titans see her like this. What would they think?!
The teapot started to squeal, and she snatched it off the stove hastily, and poured a large portion of the warm liquid into a mug. She set the pot back on the stove, and turned the stove off, before taking a sip of the stuff.
"Calm DOWN, Rae...its only a dream..." she took a deep breath in and exhaled, feeling a little more calm.
Deep in her heart though, she knew it wasn't only a dream. It was an omen, and a bad one at that.
