The violet haired teen sat alone on the rocky shore of the island, looking troubled as she sat skimming pebbles into the slate grey water. Every so often, she would look behind her, as if she was half expecting to be disturbed. Also now and then she looked up above her to the roof of the tower that dominated the island.

Her hair fluttered madly about her face in the rising wind. All of a sudden, she seemed to become aware of the chill and failing light. She stood slowly, her legs numb from the lack of movement. She wrapped her cloak around her and pulled up her hood, immediately decending her face into shadow. With that, she slowly headed towards the now illuminated tower through the rapidly gathering night.

The teen seemed lost from the world as she drifted slowly towards the door. Through which there was what should have been an inviting scene, but that scene rolled her stomach that night.

The teen tensed herself as she stepped through the doorway, expecting an explosion of noises. "Friend Raven!" shrieked a red headed, green haired alien girl named Starfire. "Hello Star." Raven replied quietly in her normal monotone. "Where have you been? I wondered why you were out, you've already missed our movie for tonight." Commented the half man, half machine man, named Cyborg. "I was on the beach, thinking Cy." She ventured hesitantly, he seemed to accept her answer, and didn't ask why as he could see she was sorely troubled. "Have you been playing 'skipping the stone' Friend Raven?" Starfire cried joyfully, "Yes Star" Raven replied before leaving them to head to her room. But before she could leave, the green-skinned titan, Beastboy, called out to her "Hey, Rae, don't you want to play video games with us?" to this she merely glare at him and continued her exodus to her haven. Only one titan had said nothing to her, in fact he hadn't even met her eyes.

The next morning Raven was the first one awake, as always, though her face, eternally pale, was grey with exhaustion, and her skin was clammy to the touch, from sickness. Her hands shook as she held her herbal tea. Her shaking was so intense that she periodically splashed it down her, scalding her sensitive skin.
