Prologue
The lights in the dimly lit room flickered briefly before they went out. The smell of wet carpet filled the still air. Her eyes shifted to the window at the other side of her room; some of the moons light danced in the darkened room. A small barely unnoticeable sigh escaped her lips. She often wondered why she was here, and who her real parents were. None of the adults in the building told her anything whenever she asked. She walked over to her dresser and picked up her broken little mirror, it was the only thing she had when she was left here. There were some broken pieces of glass missing, but she for some reason liked it better that way. It made her happy to know that not everything was perfect and not everything need to be fixed. She looked at herself and blinked slowly. Her already pale skin looked even paler and her sky blue eyes seemed dull and lifeless. Her long waivy hair was somewhat tangled and knotted. She ran her fingers through her hair trying to untangle it. A frustrated grunt escaped her lips as she accidently tugged some of her hair out. The shadows behind her shifted and went by unnoticed, but the chill in the room couldn't be ignored by her. She placed the mirror on her dresser and looked once again at her window, it was open.
"Funny… I don't remember opening it." She mumbled to herself.
The shadows shifted again and this time she noticed. She turned and tried to make out what it was but it was hard to tell in her dark room. As her eyes adjusted to dark room, she could see someone near her bed and was looking at her. The figure took some steps closer to her but stopped about ten feet away. She noticed it was a woman, the woman had a cloak wrapped around her body and had a hood that completely covered her face. She took a step toward her, but the woman stumbled backwards and disappeared into the darkness. The lights flickered on and she blinked her eyes, adjusting to the light. She looked around the room and walked over to her window. Wrapping her fingers around the small handles, she closed the window tightly and locked it. Turning to stare around her room, she noticed a paper on the floor.
Raven flew back towards the titans tower, her mind had thoughts racing around, each bumping into each other. After spotting the tower not too far away, she transformed into her soul self and flew through the walls. She headed straight towards her room where no one will bother her. Once she was in her room she made sure her door was locked before she opened her cloak and pulled out some papers.
"I can't believe she's alive." She whispered to herself as she stared at the small photo in her hands.
Shaking her head, she turned around and placed the photo gently on her bed. It was strange almost 13 and half years ago she lost her daughter, and now she might have actually found her.
"Now to tell Robin…" she shook her head dismissing the thought. He was with Starfire now; he shouldn't be worrying about something that happened so long ago. 'No, but he has a right to now.' The voice in her head told her. She nodded and stared at the photo on the bed, it was her and robin carrying their daughter.
She sat on her bed flipping through the other pages she had, she had a map of the city, a list of kid's names that were around the same age as her daughter, and… she scanned the floor around her. It was gone; her daughter's birth certificate was gone. She got up quickly and looked around her room. Not a single paper was a round, she began to panic, and it was the only thing she had left to help her find her daughter.
"No!" she whispered loudly and cursed under her breath. She fell to her knees and hugged her body tightly. 'This can't be happening to me!' she pinched her arms hard, almost hard enough to draw blood. Drawing a shaky breath, she counted to ten, trying to calm herself down.
