Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, however this idea is mine. I would like to thank my sister xXME AGAINST THE WORLDXx for helping me write this and others of this series.
Through the Eyes of a Titan: Raven
Chapter 1: Starting Over
I never thought about dying. I always thought I'd never have to worry about it until I got older. The day my brother died, it shocked me. He wasn't supposed to die he was suppose to grow up with me and we were gonna live together forever. That was years ago though. I've accepted the fact that he's gone and there's nothing I can do to change it.
My name is Rachel Roth and my twin brother Cameron died when I was only eight. At least that's what they told me. Cameron went missing and was never found. Everyone believed he died, so life went on.
I gave a frustrated sigh as I looked around. I had no idea what was going on. I was stuck here in my room waiting for my mom to come and tell me what was going on. It was my fifteenth birthday and here I was waiting for the elders to finish their meeting. I stared at the wall.
I knew what was coming. They were discussing what they wanted to do with me. It was only a year before the prophecy was to come true. I knew they wanted to send me away to protect Azerath. I just wasn't sure where they wanted to send me.
My bedroom door burst open and my mom, Arella entered the room. She looked scared. She closed the door behind her and leaned against it.
"Raven you have to leave," she said the fear in her voice evident.
"Why?" I asked scared. She was never like this. She was always so composed and together. Seeing she like this made me worry that something was really wrong.
"You have to leave, now the elders have wished it," she said, trying to regain her usual composure. I looked her in the eyes trying to figure out what was going on. "Come here I am sending you to the mortal realm, to Earth," she said.
I walked slowly over to her unsure of what was going on. Earth? Why did the elders want to send me there? It didn't make sense. Earth was out of their control they couldn't protect me there. They didn't want to protect me. They wanted me out of their hair.
"Why there?" I asked stopping short of her.
"So I can watch over you," She said. She grabbed my arm and started chanting a portal spell.
A portal opened in front of me. I looked up at her trying to figure out what was going on. None of this made any sense. The mortal realm was out of the elder's control, how could she keep an eye on me there. I looked her in the eyes once more. The fear in her eyes told me there was something she wasn't telling me.
"Why?" I asked.
"Just because," She said, "You have to promise you won't try to contact me. I will contact you when I can," she said.
Something hit the door. She was thrown forward in shock. She immediately pushed back. She pressed herself back against the door. I looked at the portal I couldn't see anything but the white light emitting from it.
"Raven go," she said.
I looked at the portal unsure of what to do. I stepped into the portal and looked behind me. The door burst open and one of the elders stepped into the room. That was all i saw because the portal closed.
"Mom!" I screamed. All I saw was blackness and heard nothing but the silence. I wanted to know what had happened to her. I wanted to know what exactly what was going on. Why was she sending me away? What did the elders really want? I fell to my knees and wrapped my arms around myself. I didn't know what to do w or where i was going.
There was a thud as I hit the ground. I looked around at my new surrounding. It was different from Azerath. It was dark and there were lights all along a street. I quickly stood up and ran into an alley. This was all so new to me nothing looked even the least bit familiar. I looked around as there was a crash. There was a girl she was standing in front of three teens.
The girl was wearing weird outfit. It was Tameraean that much I knew. She was also wearing cuffs. Was she a prisoner of some sort? What was she doing here on Earth?
One was really short and had green skin. He was wearing a weird black and purple outfit. Next to him was a slightly taller boy in green, red, and yellow. He had long spiky black hair. Next to him was an even taller Teen he was wearing a grey hoodie with the hood pulled up and black sweat pants. They were making a plan of some sort. Were they planning to hurt her?
"I say attack head on," the really tall teen said. "All three of us at once." he added.
"That's the best plan so far," the green teen said. He looked up at the spiky haired teen. Waiting for his input. I looked between the two; the spiky hair teen looked annoyed.
"Let's go," the tall teen said. They ran forward. I couldn't let them hurt her. On a whim I used my powers and put up a barrier between them and the girl. The three boys turned to look at me.
"Violence isn't always the answer," I said.
"Who are you?" the spiky haired boy asked.
"Maybe you should try being a little nicer to her," I said. I let the barrier fall. My eyes locked with the spiky hair boy's for a moment. He nodded and slowly walked towards the girl. She stood there not moving. He must not know any better than to approach a mad Tameraean.
He held his hands up in a sigh of surrender. She flinched and looked ready to attack him. He reached to his belt and pulled something out. I watched cautiously. She was definitely going to attack.
"I only wanna help," he said. He started working on the cuffs. They fell to the ground and she rubbed her wrists. She then with one arm pulled him close and kissed him on the lips. She then pushed him and way and said, "If you do not wish to get hurt then you will leave me alone,"
She flew away. Leaving Robin shocked, on the ground. I watched her as she flew in to the distance.
