I do not own anything of Teen Titans, just my OC and plot revolving around the world created by DC.
Chapter One: Three Days
The darkness enfolded three nights before the rebirth. Could it be, could the prophecy be true? Night came all the time. Night and day were no longer different. And there Raven sat, meditating, searching her mind…searching for something that would clue her into if it was true.
"Asarath…Metrion…Zinthos…" she chanted over and over again.
Suddenly she couldn't breathe, couldn't move. The darkness engulfed her.
"Raven…"
Raven gasped, but couldn't utter out the words she wanted to say.
She searched around, looking every which way, but couldn't find anything that might have uttered her name.
"It is time, Raven. In three days time I can finally be free. You do not want me in here anymore; let us face it I do not either. But do not worry, Trigon will be tucked away still. I have kept him at bay all these years and I will use up a lot of energy to seal him here and get back to the real world. It has been 16 years I have been imprisoned, I am getting out of here. This is our time. The time Trigon never wanted us to have. He tried to take this, and keep it away from us. He used you, Raven."
"But…" was all Raven could manage to get out.
"Do not fear, the prophecy is a lie created by Trigon to imprison me. Your powers are only half of what they could be. I will see to it that when I get out, I will unlock your full potential. We will be together in just three short days. I love you, Raven, I always have."
And with that Raven is thrown back into her room, onto her bed. She's panting and sweating heavily trying to calm herself down. 'Was that real? Maybe I just fell asleep and dreamt all that. I've never fallen asleep while meditating before, but it is entirely possible.' Lost in thought, Raven didn't hear the light knock on the door, until a voice broke through her thoughts.
"Raven? Are you ok? I heard a crash. Can I come in?"
"Yeah, it's open." she returned.
In walked a boy with spiky black hair, green tights, and a red tunic type deal. "Are you ok?" he asked again entering the room further, closing the door behind him.
"Yeah…fine." She chokes out.
"What happened?"
"Nothing. Just a bad dream. Thanks for being concerned, Robin."
"Then what was that crash?" he asked narrowing his eyes in disbelief and annoyance; he knew she was lying.
Raven thought for a split second. "I fell out of bed. It was a nightmare where we were fighting. I got a little carried away in it and ended up on the floor when I woke up."
"If you need to talk, you know where to find me." Robin gets up and walks to the door. "You've seen the deepest part of my mind, let me repay the favor and share the bond too. At least skim the surface." He calls over his shoulder and exits. He definitely knew she was lying, and wasn't trying to hide the fact he was upset.
{'He means well, that's for sure, but he wouldn't be able to handle the things that I have going on in my head. No one on this planet would understand the prophecy. There are dark things at work through me and it is my burden to bare.'} Raven thinks as she slowly fades into her habitual meditation.
