Hi guys, this is your friendly author speaking!
thanks for giving this story a chance, it's kind of an experiment, so bear with me. And here we go!
Raven POV
It was a bright day. I glanced down at my hands, seeing nothing but ashy skin.
"Raven!" I hear someone shout. I turn around to see a green boy as he jumps at me...
Then there is light. And once the light is gone, I am left in never ending darkness.
" Friend Raven? Friend Raven, please say something."
My eyes flutter open, distraught from the sudden invasion of light. And from the looks of it, I'm in an Earthen hospital. But how did I get here? I wasn't supposed to leave-
"OH FRIEND RAVEN, YOU ARE OK!"
I am swept into a big embrace by an orange skinned girl. She has long reddish hair and green eyes, along with apparently being stronger than she looks. But she is not from Earth, so what is she doing here?
I attempt to free myself from her suffocating embrace, and look her in the eyes. My throat hurts, and I try to keep myself calm as I say," Who are you?"
The hurt in her eyes feels like a slap to the face, and I immediately wish that I hadn't said anything. Her completely green eyes are filled with worry.
" Friend Raven, do you not remember me?" She asks, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. I shake my head, and she speaks again.
" Friend Raven, I am Starfire. Your teammate. Do you remember me now?"
her name sounded so familiar, but before I could fully grasp it, it disappeared from my memory. I shook my head again.
" Raven, I am a princess of Tamarand. My name is Starfire, and I am your teammate. You must remember, because..." She trailed off and looked away, tears threatening to spill from her cheeks.
And I remembered. She was Starfire, my teammate. She was an alien princess, and one of my friends. I grasped her hand, and gave it a squeeze. She looked at me with new hope, her eyes shined with tears.
" Star, what's wrong?"
She looked like she had been slapped in the face, and her tears began to flow freely.
"Excuse me, Raven, but you were the only one I was able to find."
What did she mean...
" I see you do not understand. Allow me to explain." She moved a chair over, and sat beside my bed.
" I assume you do not remember the explosion, correct?" My confusion must have showed, because she smiled a sad smile, and continued her explanation.
" It was about 7 Earth months ago. We had gotten back from catching a thief, and we were all exhausted. We were all about to watch one of Beast Boy's movies, when the alert went off. You were the only one who was not with us, friend Raven. Beast Boy went to find you. After he left there was a bright light, and then nothing. I woke up in a hospital a week later, but I was not able to find you or any of the others."
She sighed, and looked out the window with sad eyes.
" Star, we will find them."
She looked at me with surprise, and gripped my hand tightly.
" I hope so, Friend Raven. I hope so."
