A/N: I'm calling this one Evanescence. The word means to vanish or fade away and they were all I listened to while writing this, trying to drown out my boatload of family problems. Hope it's good. Although it is quite short. Right now it's a one-shot if you think I should continue let me know.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. I do not want to. I hate writing these pointless disclaimers, but I did, so do not sue me. I do not have time.

Evanescence

"No." he said indicating the conversation was over.

"But if you could just consider it? I haven't seen them in years! I've been stuck here with you!"

"SHUT UP BITCH!" He roared throwing her across the room.

"Trigon, not in front of our daughter!" Arella pleaded standing up slowly.

"I can do whatever the hell I please." he said threateningly leaving the room, most likely to get him something to drink.

"Raven," Arella whispered crouching down, "go to your room and pack your suitcase. We're going to go somewhere in a few minutes so be ready when I knock on your door."

The little 8 year old girl nodded at her mother. Her amethyst eyes filled with fear, she ran up the stairs to go to her room. Inside she grabbed her little red suitcase, the one that read "going to Grandma's", and began to fill it with her favorite clothes. She didn't have many so the trunk was still very empty. She grabbed the diamond necklace her father had bought her, feeling it might come in handy. She took one more look around and hurriedly grabbed a stuffed green monkey from her bed. It was her best friend and favorite posession.

Just then she heard a knock on the door. From the softness of it, she knew it to be her mother. She opened the door slowly.

"Come, Raven, we do not have much time. Are you ready?" Arella asked in a motherly fashion to which Raven only nodded.

They ran through the hallway, down the stairs, and Arella had just opened the door to the trunk.

"What the hell are you doing!" Trigon screamed drunkenly.

Arella refused to respond and instead closed the trunk.

"Get in the car dear, turn it on and lock the doors, be ready for me." she whispered to her daughter.

She nodded and did as she was told holding on tightly to her stuffed monkey.

"I'm leaving Trigon, I cannot take anymore of this. It isn't good for our daughter either."

"Like I give a damn you whore!" He yelled, his fist in the air, but he didn't move from the porch at all.

Arella was unfazed as she got into the old, beat up Chevy. She put it in reverse and backed out of the lot. Then she moved the stick to drive. As she pulled out, Raven looked back at her old home. She knew she most likely would not be coming back to the dingy, run-down place, but she honestly didn't mind. The memories that it housed were in no way pleasant to her or her mother.

"I'm so sorry, dear. You shouldn't have had to see that or hear it either." her mother whispered.

Raven placed a comforting hand on her mother's arm, "It's okay, Mommy."

Arella looked down at it and smiled, "You are such a sweet child. Do not worry, things will be better now." she assured her daughter.

"Pinky promise?" Raven asked expectantly, holding out her tiny, little pinky.

"I pinky promise." Arella responded linking her pinky finger with her child's and squeezing it a bit.

Raven hugged her green monkey and began to fall asleep.

"Love you mommy"

"I love you too, dear, so much, don't ever forget it." Arella said kissing her daughters violet-haired head.

They drove off into the night hopefully for a better future. One with love, happiness, and great friendships.

Well it helped a little bit... (Not really at all)

So how was it? Should I continue it or just keep it like this? I'm not planning on it but I will if enough people say they want one. Please let me know.

Also I recommend listening to Evanescence if you haven't. Amy Lee has an amazing voice.

And watch Captain America! Marvel did it again!
