Chapter 1: Raven and the Raven

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Teen Titans were fighting The Storyteller, an evil witch who fought with ancient spells. She came to steal the souls of the children in the city, but the Titans were kickin' butt and were just about to win when….

"RAVEN LOOK OUT!!!" cried Robin

She didn't see it coming. The Storyteller made a book appear out of nowhere. It opened and got larger and larger with its pages flapping. Raven couldn't see the real sky anymore; all she could see were jumbled words and a dark sky in a square with swirling colors.

"This can't be good, noooo…." She tried to fly away but didn't get very far.

She awoke lying face first, flat on the ground, or at least that's what she thought it was.

"Wait a minute, I'm upside dooowwwnnn!!!" she screamed as she fell down into…an ocean? She hit the water hard; it felt like cold clammy hands were grabbing her, pulling her down. They grabbed at her hair, arms and legs and choked her.

"Aaaaahhh" she tried to scream but only big air bubbles came out.

I can't breathe…can't bre... im gonna die, ROBIN!!!

Everything went dark….

Where am I, I can't move, she opened her eyes, thankful to see she was on solid ground. A raven sat next to her looking at her serenely "where am I" she said not expecting a real answer.

You're lost, it replied in a sing-song voice.

"Did u just talk!? No, I heard your thoughts. Now this is getting really creepy" she struggled to move and managed to finally get to her feet. She looked around, this world was eerie. The sky was a bloody red and black and an odd symbol burned in the sky, it looked like a flaming bird; a phoenix. All around there were large trees but not close enough together to be a forest. Not too far away there was a swirling lake of darkness there was something evil about it. She backed away shaking but couldn't take her eyes off of it…

"That's definitely not water; it kinda looks like a lake of…gasp…souls?" She forced herself to look away and looked over at the bird; it was looking curiously up at her.

"Did u save me? Who are you? Why can I understand you? WHERE AM I?" her last words echoed over the cold grounds and into the trees.

The bird smiled up at her (if you can picture a bird smiling) but said nothing for a while then,

You saved yourself. I am you. I am you. You are lost

"What? None of that makes sense! Ok then, what are you and where am I lost exactly!?

I am your soul. You are lost in the lands of this place.

"I said EXACTLY, sigh its goin to be a long day…"
