Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. Yet I do own one of the characters...
Chapter 1 -Coming back from a nightmare
Leaving the team was hard, but living without them was harder.
Home was like a paradise, now it is a living nightmare.
Seeing the one you love in love with someone else heart-breaking.
Losing the ones you love because of evil is devastating.
Seeing the truth yourself makes you feel like you never wanted to see it.
With nowhere to go...
with the truth...
with the love of no one...
makes you feel alone...
in the large world...
that you live in...
You can only walk the path of your mind...
to blame everything on yourself...
till you feel that you are only made up of...
anger and self blame...
until you find another...
who is on the same path...
Raven sat by a large tree, remembering how it was when she was a Teen Titan. "Raven stop!" When she had friends. "So are we really your friends?" When she thought someone cared for her. "Raven, I'm...I'm sorry he broke your heart..." That all fell away... "Terra!" It turned to dust. Her being a Titan was history. Love, friends seemed to never exist. "Raven what did you do?" The Titans weren't her friends. "You know she's never once laughed at any of my jokes...?" They didn't need her. "How are we meant to even deal with her? How are we to even trust her?" He mind filled up with these thoughts, opening one eye she saw a girl sleeping next to her. She was her only friend. They were the same, having to leave because they could not anymore. The girl's name was Shadow; she had black hair and crimson eyes. Her skin was pale and she had long ears. Raven had abandoned her uniform and wore something made for battle and travel. She now wore a heavy dark blue cloak that buckled the top half of her torso. Underneath she wore her belt and black leather clothes. On her feet were now black boots. She had also changed since she left; her hair was now longer darker since she traveled mostly at night. Putting a gloved hand to Shadow's shoulder she woke her and whispered. 'It was time that we continued.' Shadow got up and yawned. She wore a black ripped shirt, black pants and boots. Around her hands, wrists, and arms she wore bandages. Morphing into a wolf Shadow howled and started to walk. Raven morphed into a raven and rested on Shadow's back she walked with the giant wolf. They both had the same destiny, to destroy Slade. 'It should not too far until we reach the city...' Shadow said. 'I remember running this way when I saw Slade running off with his apprentice.'
'I never have been in the forest near Jump City before...' Raven replied squawking.
'This is what is left of the Jump City forest. Slade destroyed where I lived...there is one person who can bring it back...'
'Who?' Raven asked looking down at the wise wolf.
'He is the prince of the forest. He left the forest unprotected and now evil has destroyed it looking for him.' Morning came and they had reached the edge of the forest and the city was in sight.
Beast Boy sat on the lounge watching television with Terra on his lap. She wasn't exactly watching him; she was more sucking his neck. The door opened making Terra stop and the two looked up at Robin and Starfire. 'Friends, we have decided to go out for lunch.' Starfire said excitedly.
'Let's go get some pizza...' Cyborg said getting up from the coffee table. Getting up Beast Boy helped Terra up and they walked out of the tower with the other Titans. Beast Boy loved Terra, but there was always something at the back of his head trying to tell him that he loved someone else. That voice he could never hear. Pilling out of the car, the Titans walked into the pizza place.
Raven walked through the streets that she walked through many years ago. Shadow walked beside her, trying not to talk. People who passed by felt insecure of their presence. Where would he be hiding? Where would the Titans be? Raven thought talking something that she hadn't seen in a long time...her communicator. There was a sudden jolt, everything shock. 'This can not be good.' Shadow growled. Adonis, Cinderblock, and Mammoth were running up the street. In their hands were stolen goods. 'Not good at all...' Shadow growled threateningly, she barked viciously as started to run towards the criminals. Raven levitated on behind Shadow.
As the Teen Titans were ordering Cinderblock all of a sudden flew into parked cars. They all jumped up as they saw a girl jump near him. Her long black hair covered her face and in her hand was a staff. Mammoth and Adonis flew off behind Cinderblock and a cloaked girl levitated up to the other. 'Titans get down there and help!' Robin yelled. They jumped into action, running the girl caught up to Robin. 'Need a lift?' she asked holding out her hand.
'Yeah...' Robin replied taking her hand. The girl threw her staff into the ground not too far away. She gained speed as they neared the staff. Grabbing the staff she spun in a circle letting Robin go at the right time that he flew at Cinderblock and knocked him over with great force. Cinderblock flew straight into Mammoth who flew straight for Beast Boy. Beast Boy was about to duck when the two were covered in a black energy, then they were thrown away. Looking at the mysterious girl in the girl looked over at Beast Boy. Looking into her eyes he realized who it was...looking behind her Adonis threw a car at her. 'Watch out!' he called out. Turning around the wolf pushed her out of the way. Beast Boy morphed into a bird and flew out of the way. The wolf looked over at Terra, growling she pounced at her. Beast Boy watched the other Titans fight Adonis, Cinderblock and Mammoth. He saw the wolf running at Terra, it pounced and pinned her down to the ground. Morphing into a wolf he ran for the wolf. The mystery girl saw that the wolf was going to be in trouble. She was about to move when Mammoth hit the ground with his fists and cracking the ground. The cracks flung the girl into the air and she hit her head knocking her out. As she lay on the ground her hood fell off the reveal Raven. Beast Boy threw the wolf into a car near a girl lying down. Morphing back to normal Beast Boy ran over to Raven turned her over to her back. 'Raven?' he asked himself. When the battle was over, the Titans ran over to Beast Boy who was carrying Raven in his arms. Terra gave a quick glance of jealousy but she looked away. Cyborg picked the wolf up as Robin said. 'We should get them home and checked up on...'
Raven opened her eyes to see a clean white roof above her. Rubbing her forehead she sat up and saw Shadow trying to get out of her restraints. She could not hear her barking but she did hear. 'You're finally awake...' Looking over to the other side she saw the cyborg pull a chair up next to the bed and sat in it. 'Mind telling me why you left with no reason?'
'You wouldn't believe me...' Raven replied sighing.
'Tell me what you did for three five years?'
