Raven tried not to let Jynx's letter get to her. She knew Jynx was now
a member of Hive, and it was probably her own fault. She coudln't
forget the fact that they used to be friends. Jynx and Raven weren't
just any friends either. They used to be BEST friends.
Jynx and Raven spent countless summers together, and caused a lot of trouble in their childhood days. Raven had to leave though, right before she and Jynx were supposed to leave for summer camp.
"Write me?" Jynx asked, her eyes filling with tears at the thought of losing her best friend. Raven had smiled at her, and pushed a stray strand of hair out of Jynx's eyes.
"I promise." Raven replied, hugging Jynx for the last time.
Raven had never forgotten how forlorn Jynx had looked as Raven left to meet her family in Gotham City. Her mother and father never showed up though, and she joined the Teen Titans the next week. She had only written one letter to Jynx, and she never mailed it. It still sat under her pillow where she had put it.
But what could Jynx want with her now? Their last meeting hadn't been pleasant, ending with Jynx trying to kill her once best-friend. Raven had seen the vengance in Jynx's eyes, in her expression. She could read plainly in her face "Why didn't you write me?"
But now, everything had changed. They hadn't talked since then, almost two years. And now, Jynx was back in town, and she was a sitting duck for whatever Jynx had planned. Jynx always got what she wanted. ALWAYS.
Would she attack the Tower, like last time, or just plain out come for Raven? Was she trying to drive her to insanity, untill she begged Jynx to gell her she was sorry? Was this payback for leaving, and not writing?
She tried to calm down, but it didn't work. She just kept remembering times she and Jynx had spent together.
"What is it?" Raven asked, holding up a wrapped box Jynx had given her. She shook it, and held it up to her ear.
"Open it and you'll find out, silly." Jynx replied. Raven carefully unwrapped it, making sure she didn't tear any of the paper. She would save it and make something for Jynx out of it, in return. A white box was underneath the paper, and Raven took the lid off. A shiny black diamond shaped stone was inside, and Raven picked it up carefully.
"It's a stud for your Third-Eye Chakra. I thought it would look cool on you." Jynx explained, and helped her fix it on.
"You're coming over THIS weekend, right?" Jynx asked, waving to Raven. Raven smiled at her.
"Yep. I'll meet you at seven."
"Do you really have to go Rae?" Jynx pleaded, looking hurt and sad.
"It's only for this weekend. I'll bring you back something, I promise."
"Happy Birthday Jynx!"
"Oh a new cloak! Its so pretty Rae! Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, Jinxie."
"We'll be friends forever, right Raven?"
"Forever and then some."
"I promise if you promise."
"I promise."
"And if one of us ever has to leave, they have to write EVERY day to keep the other one updated. Agreed?"
"Agreed."
But Raven had broken those promises long ago. Things hadn't happened the way she had planned. Sighing, she looked at Death, who was busy chewing on her cloak.
"Oh, what have I done?" She asked him, letting a single tear slide down her cheek in the memory of their friendship.
