Hi! Thanks for all your great reviews so far! Here is the next chapter, longer than the last two so I hope you like it!
By the way, Italics are dreams for this chapter, in others they can be thoughts as well.
Anyway enjoy.
Chapter 3
Raven sat quietly at the table, a mug of herbal tea in front of her as the other titans dug into the several pizzas they had ordered.
They had continuously offered her food but she had refused every time, claiming that she wasn't that hungry, and would be fine with just tea.
A half smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she watched them eat, it kind of resembled what feeding time at a zoo would be like.
All of them digging into the pile of food, trying to eat as much as possible before it was all gone.
As ill mannered, messy and disgusting as it was, it was also quite funny to watch.
She took another sip of her tea while listening to Beast Boy and Cyborg argue over who should have the last slice of pizza.
Beast boy wanted it because it was vegetarian, and so his and his only. Cyborg wanted it because he had apparently had one less slice than Beast boy.
Eventually Cyborg won the slice and swallowed it whole before a disappointed looking Beast boy, Robin and Starfire laughing in the background.
After a while the team moved over towards the T.V for a movie, while Raven decided that she would rather be alone to think things over.
She bid her goodnights to the others and retreated to her room.
It was dark like it normally was.
When she walked in, through her window the night sky visible over the now quieter city, she walked over to the window and sat down cross-legged before it.
The city was beautiful at night, but that wasn't why she was watching it, somewhere out there was the killer.
Only this one was worse than the usual ones, if her theory was right then this one wasn't a human.
He was still out there, with all those innocent people, would he kill again tonight or was it the first and last time he would be here?
Shaking her head sadly Raven stood up, removed her hooded cloak and climbed into bed.
Pulling the covers up around herself she didn't feel much better, there was still a nagging feeling in the back of her mind.
Should she have told Robin?
She had no idea whether or not he would have believed her, but should she have tried anyway?
She shook her head in an attempt to clear it, she soon decided that she would tell Robin, but only if another person was killed.
Turning onto her side she closed her amethyst eyes and let sleep take over her…
…She was out in the city again, a woman walking along side her, no older than twenty with red hair and bright green eyes.
She looked to her other side and a black hair and eyed woman looked back at her, no older than the first woman.
Judging by the way the two of them were walking and talking in a slurred way they had both had a little more to drink than they should have.
If their clothes were anything to go by they had been on a girls night out to a club.
They got to a T in the road and parted, bidding goodnights to each other and walking in separate directions.
She continued to walk towards her home when she heard a scream behind her followed by a cry for help.
She turned her head and looked back, the voice was familiar, Raven knew she had never heard it, but she seemed to be seeing everything through another's point of view. And this person seemed to recognise it.
Turning around Raven found that her legs had began to move; running towards where the scream had came from.
Raven tried to stop herself, tried to make her self turn back, away from the scream, but this wasn't her body, she had no control over it.
Her unfamiliar black hair fell over her dark eyes as she ran.
She ran unsteadily past a small dark alley and glanced down it before skidding to a halt.
She returned to the mouth of the alley and glanced down it, on the ground there seemed to be a person, laying there in a heap.
Cautiously she approached the figure, as she got closer she could she red hair, "Rach? Rachel? Is that you?" she found herself calling.
The figure groaned and looked up, revealing green eyes, but also a bleeding cut on her temple.
"Rachel!" Raven found herself shouting despite the fact that she had never met the woman in her life.
The girl in question looked towards her, fear evident in her eyes.
"Anna! Get out of here! He's still here!" before Rachel could ask what she was talking about she heard someone behind her.
She turned slowly, her breath catching in her throat, when she saw the shadowy figure blocking her escape approach her she screamed…
… Raven woke with a start just like she had before.
She looked franticly around her room to find that everything was still normal.
Tossing the covers off her she ran to the window again and looked out over the city, it looked exactly the same as it had before she had gone to bed. Of course it would.
Deciding quickly Raven grabbed her cloak and left the tower, there was no time to wake the others, and she would alert them if she found anything.
She flew quickly and quietly over the city, searching for the two young victims.
When she flew over a strangely familiar street she landed gracefully.
Recognising it as the street form her dream Raven made her way cautiously towards the alley.
She walked down the narrow alley and saw two bodies lying lifelessly on the ground.
She could see that both had been bleeding heavily from the neck.
Just like the last victim.
She walked forward and knelt down by the dark haired girl, less than an hour ago this girl had been alive… out enjoying herself with her friend…
Raven glanced over at the second body, neither of them deserved this, no one could possibly deserve to die like that.
Raven hadn't noticed that above her standing on the rooftop was a shadowy figure, watching her.
The figure sniffed the air silently and tilted his head to the side in apparent interest and confusion.
The figure sniffed the air again before reluctantly turning and leaving, he had drunk more than his fill for the night, and he didn't need to kill another.
The shadowy figure ran over the rooftops, jumping easily from one to another.
Finally he returned to an old warehouse, most of the windows of which were boarded up, preventing any light from getting in or out.
He strode contentedly into the apparently abandoned building, walking until he was outside one of the upper rooms, he was about to go in when he heard a voice down the corridor coming from another room.
"I was watching you tonight. You need to be careful, we don't want to draw attention do we?"
The figure walked further down the corridor towards the voice of the other man.
"I was only going to feed of one tonight, but her friend turned up, I had to kill her to keep her quiet and it would be a shame to have wasted her blood."
He walked into the room, it was dark but he could see fine, the far wall was practically made up of television screens, each showing a different part of the city.
"But you ignored the titan," the new man stated turning around to reveal a mask, one side orange and the other black.
"Yes, she didn't notice me," the vampire replied.
The masked mind nodded "I think she knows, if you see her again… bring her here… alive"
The vampire nodded and agreed before turning and leaving the room to return to his own.
The masked man watched one of the screens, it showed Raven talking with police at the scene of the two girls deaths.
Through another screen he could see the other titans making their way towards the lavender haired girls whereabouts.
He watched her through the screen, she definitely knew what was going on, he would bet money that she knew the murderer was a vampire.
If she continued to turn up she would soon find all of her theories confirmed.
