Childhood's Hour
Disclaimer: Alas, I do not own Teen Titans nor The Spider and the Fly
Summary: Raven, it seems, will forever remain a mystery to the Titans. She's cold and unfeeling. But what if she had her reasons. What if her dark and painful past was finally catching up to her? Whatever happens, the Titans will never be the same again.
Rating: R
Note: I have seen very few episodes unfortunately and from what I have found out about Raven, I will be changing some of it.
At this point in time, I have no idea about romantic pairings, so I'll take recommendations.
Feedback is good.

"Will you walk into my parlor?" said the spider to the fly;
"'Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy.
The way into my parlor is up a winding stair,
And I have many pretty things to show when you are there."
"O no, no," said the little fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."
Running, running, running. Always running. No matter what happened, she had to get away.
The Hands were coming, coming to get her. They wouldn't ever let her go.
She woke up, shivering in the coo, night, the last vestiges of her dream slowly fading.
She could feel the bile rising in her throat. She wouldn't allow herself to be sick though. She wouldn't allow herself to be weak.
"Azerath, Metrion, Xinthos," she chanted, feeling her panic slowly subside. Damn dreams.
She hated the dreams, the dreams and that feeling of helplessness that came with them.
"Azerath, Metrion, Xinthos..."
