River of Blood
Chapter 1: Why?
Hello and Welcome to the show! Now today's fan fiction is going to be about Teen titans! Ya… hm I'm sorry I'm just so board so I can't make this story amusing probably because its tragedy but yeah. If you think this story is too scary or horrible or want to convince me to go to the Light side the happy one with rainbows and flowers and things that are pink then DON'T READ THIS! IT'S NOT YOUR TYPE! Based upon a true story… I think. I don't know it could do… I guess…
Disclaimer: I do not own teen titans but chances are you don't either so HA!

A flash of lighting in Raven's Bedroom window revealed what she was about to do… she was going to cut herself, slit her wrist and relax as all her pain and trouble flows a river of blood. She held her knife tightly and firmly in her right arm and gently lowered it to her soft grey skin with her sleeve rolled up to her elbow. The sharp blade touched her skin about one third away from her elbow and scraped it to one third way from her hand, leaving a trial of bright red blood escaping the wound.
Raven shut her eyes and sighed out in relief, when no one can see her in the darkness, when ever she is alone, this is what she does. There are many teenagers out there who think that they are fat, ugly, stupid, and heartless yet all seem to have a solution… suicide. Raven was just one of those innocent girls who do not think they are loved and only hated for what they look like when people judge them, because it's a cold cruel world out there and anyone like Raven would give up their own life just to start over… and that's the true reality.
"Raven! Friend Raven! It is I Starfire!"
Raven gasped as she heard her at her door, she had told her friends that she needed to be alone but Starfire would never understand why people would do this to themselves, why they would cut and purge and cry out their pain and sorrow. Starfire's life was all happiness and sunshine, never depression and hate, she never cared about herself that much only to be nice to other people and to make them feel good almost ignoring those who don't.
"Starfire I told you I was busy"
She called from her room, trying to wipe away the blood from her deep cut in case she needed to see Starfire. Raven has to hide this, all her emotions, her cuts, everything from her friends… especially Starfire, something like this would just break her up inside completely and she might want to end her life too, that was the last thing she wanted.
"But Raven! We are going to be watching one of your favourite scary films about 'The Grudge'! You must join us"
"I… can't Star… I… just can't. Not tonight"
Raven could feel through her thick door the slight depressed spirit from Starfire, it hurt her very much that she didn't join her but she couldn't even if it was a good movie.
"I'm Sorry Star"
"…oh no! It is alright I will inform our friends that you will not be coming… Good night"
Star walked away and Raven let a tear drip from her face as she could sense sadness in her. She hadn't been spending much time with her friends lately, always been locked up in her cold depressing room by herself cutting, purging, crying… this is what Raven's life had been like. She jumped on her bed and shut her eyes slowly with tears staining her face and she curled into a tight ball.
"…Sweet nightmares"

The next day everyone was already up doing their thing, except Raven. Robin was having breakfast by himself on the couch watching a show about cars and random stunts with them, eating pancakes. Robin was always worried about Raven from the day he meet her, like she wasn't doing well with her friends. If there was anyone who could see the pain behind her expressionless violet eyes, it was Robin. He even has a bit of a crush on her, he just won't admit it. Starfire was just too happy for Robin and not so serious, but compared to Raven… will he think laughing, dancing and karaoke is… normal?
Starfire burst into the door with 3 different shopping bags and happily humming she placed them down next to Robin smiling.
"Wow only 3 this time?"
Starfire hummed a yes and opened a bright pink bag and pulled out a white top and showed it to him, in bright pink bold letters he read out…
"Paris for- PRESIDENT! Are you out of your mind woman!"
"It is… bad?"
"… No just amusing"
Starfire had a confused look as if to what it means, she thought it would be a great idea because she heard Paris Hilton quote the words 'I work harder than anyone I know' …apparently the top serves no purpose apart from to look good.
"Where is friend Raven?"
"She is still in her room"
"Raven has not come out? But it is almost the middle of the day PM! Should I-"
"No… I don't think she wants to talk, Starfire"
Robin and Starfire looked at each other with worried faces but Robin just wants to respect Raven's boundaries and if she ever needs help, that her friends are here… all she needs to do is ask. Robin got up and left her there with her bags, he walked to the hallway and saw a drop of blood on the floor… and then a foot print… he walked past everyone's rooms and then Raven's was open and the wall was bent.
"Raven?"
He called inside and walked in, nearly everything was broken or ripped, books out of the shelf and Raven's bed had blood on it. Raven was no where in sight… someone kidnapped her.
"Raven! Raven are you here! RAVEN!"
The others had run to her room at hearing Robin shouting and screaming they gathered around the door and looked in and gasped to see the state the room was in. Robin ran out past the others ignoring them only focused on Raven and who ever hurt her would pay.
"Robin! What is…"
"Raven…"
"Dudes! Come on! You want to save Raven or what?" the others ran after Robin already on his R-Cycle rearing to go to find his love… I mean Raven. Starfire flew and Cyborg and Beast Boy took the T-Car.
"Raven! Raven can you hear me? Raven! ARRG!"
He tried to see if she would answer her communicator but he got nothing but static. The titans were worried, they hadn't seen Robin this stressed ever since he was hallucinating about Slade. Robin was going for his life dodging traffic nearly hitting cars trying to get to the park.
"Yo! Robin! Slow down man! We'll find her don't worry"
"Starfire check downtown, Cyborg and Beast Boy, the bridge and I'll check the park"
They all nodded and split to go different ways, Robin was soon at the park. He got off his R-Cycle and walked around away from the people laughing and eating, Raven would never be seen there, he looked in the bushes and kept on walking to what seemed like the middle of nowhere. Soon he saw some blood and thought someone was around. He heard a rustle from the bushes and he turned to see who it was, he struck a kung fu pose and waiting… then a girl stepped out… it was Raven.
Raven's hair was a mess and tears were running down her face continuously, her uniform was ripped only on her collar and arms revealing her horrible cuts which pressure had been applied and they were dripping with blood. She had no shoes on and her legs had rashes all over as if someone strangling them. Raven looked up at Robin and collapsed on the ground, Robin ran to her shocked as anything and lifted her up in his arms.
"Raven… what happened?"
He whispered to her and she looked at him with her deep violet eyes filled with pain and sorrow… emotions Robin never wanted to see on Raven's face. Her fears because clear as he looked at her skinny body, her bones sticking out with not much fat at all, and the scars… the scars is what scared Robin the most… he knew everything.
"…Why Raven? …you were perfect in my eyes"
More tears steamed down her face onto Robin's glove but he could still feel it, and with that Raven shut her eyes not wanting to look at Robin's expression but Robin knew she wasn't passing out or asleep. He watched her for a minute watching her soft purple hair blowing in wind, forgetting everything and just picturing himself with Raven… and how happy he would be to give up fighting crime just to be happy… with Raven… for Raven.
"Robin, we didn't find anything at the bridge"
"I could not locate Raven downtown, have you had any luck in finding our friend?"
He lifted his communicator to himself slowly and after a long silence he managed to choke out his answer.
"….yes… she's here… with me"
