Chapter 2
Happy Anniversary
Raven sat in her room, surrounded by lit candles. As she hovered several inches above the ground, her mind traveled back in time. Memories took place of the real world. The moon was in eclipse, and flesh had been turned to stone. All that remained of the earth was rubble and her friends, battling to save her. Raven could never figure out why they had risked their lives to save the teen.
A knock at the door woke her from her vision. She stood, extinguishing all of her candles.
"You in there Raven?" A male's voice asked from the other side of the barrier.
"Yes." She answered. The girl in the cape opened her door.
"Beast Boy is worried about you." Robin informed her.
That's Beast Boy for you. He's always caring about and for me. Raven thought.
"Well, I'm alright."
"Are you sure? I mean, it is the one year anniversary of…" Robin didn't know what to call it. The end of the world? Trogon's arrival? He just couldn't find the words.
"I know…and I'm fine."
"Okay, if you insist. Oh, do you want some lunch?" He asked daringly.
Raven's stomach growled. She was hungry.
"Sure."
The afternoon passed quickly, filled with grilled cheese, soda, and a video game tournament that was won by Cyborg. Everyone was having fun, except for Raven. All day she felt as if someone were watching her. Her neck prickled warily, and her mind told her to run. However, when the sun set, she shrugged off the feeling and went to bed as usual.
The sun rose slowly, waking most of the Titans. Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire dragged their sleep-laden bodies to the kitchen. They dug around for their breakfast, but before the trio was able to eat, the all-to-familiar alarm sounded.
In his room, Beast Boy launched out of bed. He rushed to the Common Room where his friends had gathered. The four of them waited for Raven, but she was no where to be seen. Robin knew that the law could not wait, but he didn't want to leave Raven behind. What if something had happened to her?
"Star," He turned to the girl beside her. "Have you seen Raven?"
"No, I have not. Is it possible our friend is still doing the sleeping?"
"Unlikely, but possible. I will go check her room. In the mean time, you three go downtown."
Starfire nodded and the Titans rushed to the movie theatre, which was being terrorized by Control Freak.
Robin ran to her door, praying the teen was okay. The boy knocked vehemently and called his friend's name. When he got no answer took a deep breath and opened the thick metal door. He scanned her room and quickly found her, in the fetal position on her bed. She was badly injured, blood running from a gash on her forehead. The Titan leader dashed to Raven's bedside. He placed his ear against her chest, and realized she wasn't breathing.
I am sorry I had to re-upload this. Several problems were discovered by kaillinne arami and El Queso de Malicioso (thank you. :D ), and so I had to fix those. Hope this is better.
