This is my first fanfic and I'm hoping everyone likes it. I've worked hard at writing it so I want you to be brutal in your reviews. Tell me what you really think. It bugs me when people say "don't flame", so I won't, but please try to restrain yourselves.

In this chapter, the Titans recieve a mysterious visitor (hint, hint), and Raven is given a message she must decifer. Ooo, ahh, weird. Speeking of weird, I am going to give all of you a fair warning. I am weird, very weird, so beware. Enjoy the story and please reveiw.

A Mysterious Visitor

Raven's eyes snapped open at the same time a strangled gasp escaped her lips. Something felt different and wrong—yet strangely familiar. "How am I supposed to get any slee…"Raven stopped mid-sentence. Was she imagining it or was there really a paw print on her bed? "Wait a minute." There was some hair, too, and it wasn't green. "Great, just what I need, another animal to deal with," Raven muttered sarcastically.

She was just about to get some herbal tea, when a scream came from Starfire's room. Raven rolled her eyes and turned around. She didn't know what the problem was, but she probably wouldn't care. To Raven's surprise, her eyes actually widened with curiosity. Starfire was found under her covers, shivering and when Robin asked what the matter was she simply pointed at the window in the back of her room.

"What is it?" Cyborg gasped.

"What is it doing?" Robin added, emphasizing the last word.

"I think it's fire," Raven said.

"Trying to get outside, no doubt," Beastboy's voice right next to her, almost made Raven jump. Beastboy had by now resumed…sniffing her cape, Raven realized for the first time.

"Um, Beastboy."

"Yah?"

"Why are you sniffing my clothes?"

Beastboy responded to Raven's question by asking, "Did you have a guest last night?"

"Uh," Raven said, experiencing a rare moment where she was actually caught off guard. "I think…" pausing, Raven regained her composure and said, "Just stop," snatching her cape away at the same time. Beastboy just shrugged and proceeded to stare, as if just realizing why he had come to Starfire's room.

"What is it?" Beastboy asked, repeating Cyborg's question. He was about to get slapped on the head, but was saved when Cyborg saw Robin glaring at him.

"Is it going to hurt me?" Starfire asked meekly from under the covers.

"I don't think so," Raven responded, staring at the small, shivering droplet of flame that was now in her hand.

Robin walked over to Starfire's bed and peeked under the covers. "I think you can come out now."

"Are you sure?" Starfire asked.

"I'm sure," Robin said, holding out his hand. The two of them reappeared with Starfire clinging to Robin's shoulders. She still didn't trust the little fire blob.

Raven's gaze was still unwavering from the flame. It had stopped shivering, but now it felt like it was trying to tell her something. "Are you what woke me up, then? You wanted to tell me something," Raven, asked it, hoping to get an answer to the presence still hanging around her.

No, but I'm part of it.

"You can talk to me, in my mind?" Raven asked aloud (quietly).

Yes, you too, try. She did, and it worked.

What are you?

Can't tell, not supposed to.

Oh. Raven was disappointed at that. No answers yet, Raven thought to her.

Nope! The flame chimed in, making raven start. Message to tell.

What?

Wolf Warrior in trouble, help! The last word blasted in her mind, making Raven drop the little messenger. Raven quickly bent down to pick it up, but what she saw was a small pile of ash. Raven got up and opened the window. The ash picked itself off the ground and hovered in front of Raven. Bye-Bye.

"Good-bye," Raven said, out loud. Then the ash blew out the window with a contented sigh. It sounded so happy; Raven couldn't help but smile. Raven turned around to ask if any of them knew what a wolf warrior was, but stopped when she saw everyone staring. "What?" Leaving the room, Raven decided she was going to have to find out what it was on her own.

"Raven, are you coming for breakfast? I made a special tofu mix," Beastboy called, then, muttering to himself, "I swear, she is going to starve one of these days."

Raven had only paused from her research when she heard Beastboy call. Tracing the paw print with her fingers, she pondered over what could have made it. "Definitely a canine. Wolf? If so, a big one," Raven said, thinking out loud. Raven glanced at the pile of books next to her and let out an exasperated sigh. She had covered a lot of ground without hearing a single word of warrior, wolf, or a combination of the two.

After covering over half the books in her library, Raven was ready to give up. She flipped through a few more pages for good measure, didn't see anything, and was about to close the book, when something caught her eye. It wasn't actually on that page, but it was the outline of the picture on the other side.

"Wow!" Raven whispered. On the page was an elaborate drawing of a moon, a paw, a pair of eyes, and a star. It looked like the paw print was being blown away and the moon had blood on it. Below this was another design. It said the two words Raven had been looking for, Wolf Warrior. "Wow!" Raven said again, reaching down to stroke the page.

"Aaaah!" Raven's head was thrown back by an unseen force, the second her fingers brushed the page. Her eyes clouded over and she was bombarded by vicious, violent, and painful scenes. When it was over, Raven was surprised at how much it had hurt.

Wincing, Raven leaped to her feet and raced to the living room. "Hey, Raven! Just in time. I saved ya some tofu," Beastboy called, on seeing her enter.

"No thanks," Raven said, blowing up the tofu in her haste. Raven reached the table and slammed the book down, causing everyone to turn and stare. While no one was looking, Cyborg quickly scraped his tofu onto Robin's plate. "This is it! This is what that flame came from. Right here in this," Raven paused as she got a fresh pain in her thigh, "page. The Wolf Warrior."

"You ok?" Robin asked sounding concerned.

"Just a little stiff from sitting too long," Raven said, brushing off the question. Robin looked skeptical, but decided to just catch up with her later.

"I'll say, you've been up there for hours," Beastboy replied, plopping another helping of tofu on Cyborg's plate. Seeing crestfallen look, Starfire burst out in giggles.

Glaring at Starfire, Raven snapped, "What!" By now Starfire was having a hard time breathing, but she managed to keep a straight face when Beastboy and Cyborg started arguing about tofu (Beastboy had finally noticed Cyborg's disgusted look). Not soon after, Robin's voice joined the shouting match, along with Starfire's. Both of them were trying to get the others calmed down. Finally, Raven lost her temper.

"ENOUGH!" Raven shouted. Immediately, everyone shut their mouths, all the tofu exploded, and several forks landed in Beastboy's hair ( he ducked the knives). Breathing hard, Raven continued, "The flame was a messenger, the Wolf Warrior sent it. I'm not sure why it came here, but it did. I found out some information, but this is a big job. I'll need your help."

"Raven, let me see that book."

"Robin, I'm not so sure you should," before Raven could explain, Robin snatched the book and placed his hand on the picture, "No!"

"Raven, chill, he won't hurt it. It's not, like, dangerous or anything," Beastboy said. Raven just glared at him, then continued.

"Karla is trapped somewhere, and was captured some time ago," she paused and glanced at everyone, "look, I know this is confusing, but…"

Cyborg interrupted, "Raven, it's not that we don't get it, but…"

"You just said her name," Robin finished.

"Oh," Raven said, realizing they were right, "well, I'll explain that later. Right now we need to try and find her.

"But what if we can use your gained knowledge to find her?"

"Star's right. I mean you already found out her name," Robin said.

"I don't think I can control that. It just comes to me," Raven doubtfully replied.

"What if you tried focusing your thoughts? I know you're good at it, considering you just blew-up my tofu," Beastboy chimed in.

"BB, you have to admit that was pretty funny. Anyway, he's right. You do it all the time when you meditate. Why not just apply it to this?" Cyborg pointed out.

"You're probably right, but that means I'll have to be alone for a long time… with no disturbances," Raven said the last part, looking straight at Beastboy.

"What are you glaring at me for? I'll be good, besides, last time it was Cyborg's fault."

"It was not!" Cyborg yelled.

"Was too," Beastboy snapped back.

Raven left the room at this point, telling Robin to find out whatever he could. However, she took the book, since the visions had originally come from it, and she wasn't sure if she would need it or not. Robin would just have to find a different source of information.

"No!" Soon after Raven's voice came a loud crash. Every other Teen Titan looked up from their research.

"Doesn't sound like it's going too well, does it?" Cyborg said.

"No not really. I'll go check on her," offered Robin, Now I can find out what happened to her this morning.

"Stop! I don't understand. You're going too fast!" hearing Raven's desperate cries made Robin walk even faster, "please," Now Robin was running. He didn't like how her voice had gotten suddenly weak.

"Raven!" Robin shouted as he wrenched open the door to her room. As Robin looked around he didn't like what he saw.

"I don't like this. Something seems wrong."

"Beastboy, you must…chill?. Robin said he would handle it." Starfire comfortingly replied.

"Yah, but didn't you hear her. She didn't sound happy."

"Seriously, BB, chill, Robin has this under control," Cyborg said.

"Raven!" Robin's shout echoed through the tower.

"Does that sound under control to you? Come on!" Beastboy raced down the hallway in time to see Raven, hanging limp in the air, before he was knocked out.

I know, suspense, but you might as well get used to it 'cause basically every chapter is like this. Tell me what you think, please, pretty please!
