Raven woke up in her room. There was a lovely warm in her bed, and she was too happy to got up. The smell of the earlier evening was still on her lips. She bite them to feel another time Beast Boy's odour. Who would have ever thought that one day she would have kissed him? Life was strange, you live with someone you love and you don't even notice it. She put down her head on the pillow and tried to sleep again, but she was too excited: she would know what Robin said to Starfire, who was the girl with Cyborg, but over all she wanted to see Beast Boy. Raven looked out the window to see if the sun had rose, and she was very disappointed when she saw the rain knocking at her window. She had planned a long walk with Beast Boy, but they would have found something to do in the tower... She got up from the bed yawning, but the yawn died in her mouth: there was someone at the feet of her bed. Raven looked more carefully, trying to not alarm the figure, but she saw only a dark cape: the hood hided the figure's head. Slowly, Raven tried to reach the door, to advise the others of the danger. She moved her feet one pace after the other. She was so near the door now... Only two more pace to the door, only one... She put her hand on the doorknob and tried to turn it without noise. Her body was cover of sweat for the tension. The doorknob slowly rotated and the door opened. Raven made out a sigh of relief and tried to exit her room.

"Are you going somewhere?"

Raven screamed. The figure had saw her. She had no escape now, her only hope was to call the others. She screamed with all the voice in her body:

"Help! Titans! I need help! Beast Boy!"

"It's useless... they can't hear you..." said the figure in a normal voice.

"You! What have you done them?" said Raven, trembling of anger, ready to attack him.

"Me? Nothing..."

Raven stopped. Who the hell was he? Suddendly, a remember came in her mind: she had already met him in her dream! He was the hooded figure who said he would have hurt her friends!

"You bastard! You want to kill us!"

"I never said it... I don't kill anybody..."

Raven confusion grew: he was an enemy or not? And if not, why he was in her room? And if he was a villain why he hadn't kill them all while they were asleep?

"Who are you?" asked Raven, still ready to attack him, if she would have not liked the answer.

"Come on... I think you can guess it..."

Raven sighed, tired of that silly game. Only to not contraire the figure, she moved a pace in the room, keeping the door open with an hand: a way out was always useful. She looked more carefully: a dark cape hided the body of the figure, while a black hood covered his head. The figure seemed tall and skinny, and his eyes were of an unnatural black.

"It seems like you don't like show you to the others... and you surely show an appreciable taste about capes..."

"Ah ah ah... I didn't knew you were so sarcastic... But you're right... however you haven't guessed who I am..."

Raven was gradually forgetting the fear, and felt a strange attraction to the figure: he was sure of himself, but he seemed also sad, too sad for being human.

"Can you give me an hint?"

The figure smiled:

"There won't be any prize of consolation for you... I'm the one who everybody meets once in their life..."

Raven took a long breath, closing her mouth in a unnatural expression: she had figured out who the figure was. She looked it sadly, but serene, and asked:

"I understand, but... why?"

"Your wound. Don't blame yourself or the others, I'd have gone in this way despite yours tentative of avoiding it..."

"I blame only a person, and I think you know who is."

"Don't worry about Slade, his day will come, first or then"

"Can I have a minute, please?"

"Usually I don't do this, but... Yes, I give you a minute, but hurry up, I'm busy."

Raven addressed a sarcastic smile to the figure. She took out some paper and a pen from her desk and started writing.

For now that's all, next chapter will be about Raven's letter. You guys guessed who's the dark figure?
