The morning broke with sounds of loud, obnoxious yelling. 'Seriously, is that really necessary?' I grudgingly pulled myself off my bed. I hadn't sleep well at all, all due to Terra. I just didn't understand why she wanted to see me again, let alone worry about me. That was just not like her; she always only cared for herself. Anyhow, I was too tired to really care at the moment. I quickly got dressed in my usual attire not even looking in the mirror. I left my room and started for the kitchen. 'Maybe they'll actually leave some breakfast out for once; they're not the only ones who live here for crying out loud!' I made my way to the kitchen only to find out there was nothing left. 'Typical.' I swear, it was like I never existed here in the first place. As I turned to the fridge I heard someone come into the room.

"Hey Rae, how ya doing?" His voice was kind, much kinder than the others.

"I'm fine. What's the deal with all the yelling?" I asked quietly.

"Oh that? That's just Robin practicing with us. You know, he could really use a chill pill eh!" I couldn't help but chuckle at Beast Boy's expression. I swear, he was the funniest person I had ever known. He made my emotions calm down.

"Yeah, I know. He flipped out on me the other day for following orders. I don't know what his problem is." I answered irritated. He really did make me want to kill him. Actually, I had fantasies about killing him.

"He was just embarrassed that Slade's new apprentice kicked his tail. It was pretty bad; she was absolutely amazing." He finished that last part all dreamy like, and then blushed when he realized what he had done.

"Umm, I uh… well I have to get going. Something 'bout ….never mind. I'll just see you around" He mumbled. It was kind of cute actually. My sister would have given him a chance if he wasn't her arch-nemesis. He was completely her type. Well, I guess some things will never work out.

'Alyeth, do you believe in love?'

'I'm not sure, maybe. I hope that there is someone for me. I don't want to die alone.'

'Me neither. That guy you're talking to, he seems to really like you. What do you think of him?'

'He is well….rather intoxicating actually. I can't stop thinking about it.'

'Well maybe you've finally found love.'

'No. I've found obsession.'

Our bodies lay on the cool grass, staring out into the blue sky. It absolutely amazed me, the vastness of it all.

Crash. Suddenly I jolted from my daydream to realize that Starfire accidently tripped and dropped her glass. Robin ran over there gently cooing his pathetic girlfriend who had starting wailing. I just rolled my eyes and walked back to my room.

-Later-

'Could I really be free? I mean is it really possible to be…. Free?' My thoughts ran wild in my head. She wanted something. I mean there was no way she was going to be "concerned" for me without wanting something. I laid on my bed pondering on what it might be. Nothing really came to mind. She was just too complicated to figure out. I decided to just go on ahead and sleep. I had nothing else to do anyways.

Dream

Pain. Water. Blood. I thrashed around feeling as I was going to die from the pain. Then that's when I saw it, a pair of cold, blue eyes. They pierced into my soul, and suddenly I was afraid. Then something pierced into my neck, and everything went blurry. I woke-up in chained to a hospital bed with a series of "tools" beside my bed. Then the man with the cold, blue eyes came in. He quietly walked in, not saying a word, and picked up a sharp knife. To my horror he started cut into my stomach, and no matter how much I tried to scream my mouth stayed silent.

I awoke with a cold sweat. 'Another nightmare about that again? What is wrong with me?' I decided to get out of bed to calm down. I paced back and forth in my room taking slow breaths. Then in the corner of my eye, I saw HIM. I started to hyperventilate right there. I closed my eyes and I snapped them open….he was no longer there. He disappeared…again. I collapsed on the floor hugging my knees rocking myself back and forth. Then, all of a sudden, something happened inside of me: I snapped. I ran and jumped out the window all in my tank and shorts. I didn't care; I just needed to get out of there.

I ran for the woods. I ran and didn't stop for anything. I thought I ran away safely and unseen. I was wrong. There was someone.

Robin.
