Psuedo Love

Chapter 1: Cutting the Thread

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans and everything associated nor do I own the song "So Much For My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavgine, it just inspired me to write this……

A/N I must apologize because I haven't updated any of my stories in a very long time. This is because my production of "It's A Wonderful Life" took every waking second of my day to get onto the stage in a semi-decent form. As an apology to my dear friend Zako I am writing this fic cause she was gonna murder me if I didn't post something TODAY! So here ya go Zako and everyone else too.

Arrendi

P.S. Zako came up with the title. And for all you people who are like I was, pseudo means fake/false.

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

A shadow covered his stiff figure and hid his skeletal mask from my view. I could sense the tension; it fell on me drowning me in its suffocating grasps. He had left me a message in his scrawling blood red script to meet him here. It was our secret place, our hide away from the world's cruel inquisitive eyes. My violet hair blew in across my face, he'd left a window open, a quick escape route. Something was wrong; he had done something so very wrong he wanted to run away from even me, but what I couldn't guess. A black gloved hand caressed my freezing cheek, tenderly tracing the lines of my face as if to etch them into his memory.

"I am so sorry Raven, I didn't mean to do this, but he offered me life again."

Horror must have spread across my face as I realized what he'd done; he'd led me here, here into this death trap. He'd sold his soul to the one I fought against with every breath I took, the one I loathed. I began to back away but it was too late. I thought I had found true love in a city of zombies and liars, he held my heart in his hands, but he had just crushed it into dust before my very eyes. He stepped forward and held something over my mouth and nose, I couldn't breath, there was nothing left to say, blackness took me, and all I saw was his traitorous mask looking down on me.
