Told from Raven's view of course

Well that was something I'll never forget, or forgive even if it was my fault. "YOU LIED TO ME!!" he screamed, "to get back with that other man". All I could do was frown, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to…I…", truth was that I had no excuse. I had tricked him into taking me somewhere that I could runaway, and ditch him. "Can't you see Aqualad you're the other man" I tried to tell him, "No, Raven your married to me, he's the other man" he said back and crossed his arms. "Aqualad, that other man was and is my true fiancée, and your well" I started, but he cut me off by saying "What? Dead? Yes I know I'm dead".

I looked at him then I got angry, I started yelling, "WELL I'M SORRY, BUT I CAN'T BE HERE!! I HAVE TO GO TO A WEDDING!! MY WEDDING WITH GARFIELD LOGAN!!!". He stared at me and was like "well you can't marry him, cause your married to me", now I was furious he won't listen. I don't know why but I started to cry again, and saw that he tried to comfort me, but I backed away. "DON'T TOUCH ME!!! I NEVER WANTED TO MARRY YOU!! WHY WOULD I ANYWAY!?!?" I screamed, and then I pushed passed him and started running down the stairs of the tower.

I slowed down to catch my breath and saw that he didn't follow me, and I was glad. Only when I turned around I saw one figure, it was Roreck, my deceased dog. "Hey buddy" I spoke to him, I know that I yelled but I feel that I should apologize to him. I wonder what Gar is doing, and my parents.

Gar was flabbergasted, "Mother I'm telling you the truth. I saw Raven. Married to a corpse," he said to his mother "standing right here with Raven" he pointed to the spot he had seen the corpse. "My son you are just seeing…RAVEN WAS HERE!!!" she said, he just stared "yes but that's not the point, we have to help her". His mother just shook her head, and told the maid to lock him in his room. "Mother, wait!" he said after her, and then he open his windows and climbed out into the rain. As he descended to the ground he reached his parents room, and waited until their lights were out.

He then made his way to the church to talk to Pastor Val-Yor, only he didn't notice that Lady Terra was watching from the front window. Gar made it to the church and started to knock on the door. "Who can that be at this hour?" Pastor Val-Yor asked himself; "Pastor, I need to speak to you!" spoke Gar from the other side of the door. "Young Master Logan?" asked the old cranky Pastor "what are you doing here? You should be at home prostate with grief". "Sir, please I know that you are the only one who knows of what awaits beyond the grave" Gar had started to explain, but the Pastor looked a bit scared.

"Such a grim topic my boy" said Val-Yor, and Gar just asked him straight "can the living marry the dead?" The pastor just looked at and said "I know the thing to do," Gar looked so hopeful "come with me boy". The Pastor had tricked Gar and had taken him home, and as Gar's butler Galfore had opened the door. His mother spoke from behind Galfore "GARFIELD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE!!!" seeing that her son was soaked to the bone. She took him by the arm "Thank you Pastor", and brought Gar inside he just nodded and left. Galfore then took Gar by the arm as he was struggling, he started shouting "NO!! NO RAVEN NEEDS MY HELP!!! LET ME GO!! MOTHER! FATHER!! PLEASE!! NO I HAVE TO HELP RAVEN!!!"

They took him to his room wear the windows were boarded up and now that he was in his room his door was locked. "Steve, what is happening to our son?" she asked her husband as he stared into the fire and replied "I do not know Rena". Just then out of the shadows was Lady Terra and she spoke "for a girl to ditch a boy like your son" she started "it's positively criminal, if he were mine I would surround him with riches befitting royalty". Mr. and Mrs. Logan stared at her, then Mrs. Logan spoke "your husband must be very fortunate", but Terra shook her head "alas I am not married, I was betrothed some years ago but tragedy snatched my groom away".

Gar's parents got an idea, and then after a few seconds they went up to his room where he had taken a fire poker to the doorknob. His parents opened the door and entered, "my son we have good news" said Gar's father. Gar's eyes lit up "You've found Raven" he asked, his mother said "no but you must get ready our relatives". "You're getting married to Lady Terra" he said, and suddenly Gar dropped the fire poker so that it clanged. He just stared at his parents unable to believe that he had to marry some one like her. "You can't make me do that" he blurted out to his father, but Mr. Logan just shook his head and said "If you do not we will be forced penniless into the street. We are destitute". With that said and done they left their son in his room to get ready, and as they went down stairs Terra came out of the shadows. "Oh Gar," she said menacingly "you will be mine until death do us part", and she stroked the picture of Gar and started walking away. She said, "Which will come sooner than you think".

Well to cut a long story short Raven's parents were still looking, well more her father than her mother. Poor Fixit (the carriage driver) was very sick, and Arella was taking care of him. "Don't worry dear we'll find Raven" she said to Mr. Roth, just then poor Fixit bit the dust.

Well as I was walking with Roreck, I came to the pub, which is where I entered this deceased world. I tried to turn to walk away but Roreck took me by the rags of my torn up dress and pulled me inside the pub. Just then I heard music, piano music. I poked my head around the corner and saw Aqualad playing the piano. I sighed, "might as well", so I headed down there, and I tried to talk to him. "Aqualad, I'm sorry" I said to him but he ignored me "its just that…well things aren't going well according to plan". Still nothing out of him, but how do I get him to talk to me. So I started playing them piano, and then he just started playing again, the next thing we knew we were playing a duet. Then by accident Aqualad's wrist came off and climbed up my arm and was dancing.

"Pardon my enthusiasm Raven," he said, as I took his hand and I replied "I like your enthusiasm" then I reattached his hand. He looked into my eye and I looked into his. Just then a bell rang then I saw Blackfire and she started shouting "NEW ARIVAL! NEW ARIVAL!!" I looked around as skeletons filled the place, and Aqualad took my hand and pulled me away from the piano. A skeleton took our seat; just then I turned around and saw Fixit. "Fixit?" I said as I ran to him "Fixit I'm so glad to see…GASP!!" oh well he's dead; he turned to me and smiled. "Ms. Roth, you're here to?" he asked, "I had know idea that you died".

Again with the me dying so young thing although I can't blame them, I blushed for some reason I didn't mind. I laughed, "no Fixit, I'm not dead" I just smiled, and well he just smiled back. "Well I suppose you know the news" he said, I looked confused and said "what news"? just then Aqualad came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "Well, you see Gar is getting married to Lady Terra" he spoke the news, just then I felt my heart drop and break into a million pieces. I couldn't believe this, I pushed myself away from Aqualad and made my way through the crowd. I heard Aqualad call to me but I didn't respond as he said "RAVEN!! Where are you going"? I exited the pub, so confused and sad.
