Numb

By: sugarhighraven

Author's Notes: Raven is my favourite character, in case you couldn't tell. And (gasp) this doesn't have a pairing in it! Wow...how unusual for me. Oh, well. I think I'm going to do a series of songfics for the Titans. Review and you'll rock my socks.

Summary: Raven faces her father for the last time. Who will win? (Songfic to Linkin Park's Numb. No pairing.)

Pairing: I said, NO PAIRING!!

Rating: PG-13 to be safe.

Other Notes: /Blahblahblah Is the song.

/Tired of being what you want me to be

I sat on the bed, looking into the mirror. I looked down at the letter beside me, the one that I had written a few hours ago. When I finally realized that I couldn't avoid this.

I was tired of my father controlling me. It had to end, for better, or worse...

/Feeling so faithless

I'm going to lose...I'm going to lose...I'm going to lose...

There's no way I can possibly win...

The pessimistic thoughts shot through my mind unchecked, and, taking a deep breath, I entered the mirror...

/Lost under the surface

Instead of being in Nevermore, I was in Azarath, or as Earthen people call it, Hell.

'Raven. You know you cannot avoid me. Just give in...'

I glared at him, my father. Because of him, my friends could never know who I really am...never know that I'm not really the heartless bitch they think I am. That's all my father's influence. As they say, old habits die hard...
