The rest of the day passed by very slowly for Raven. She just wanted something to keep her mind of the fight that morning. Anything that would call for the help of the Teen Titans. A bank being robbed, a woman having her purse stolen, a cat stuck in a tree.... ANYTHING!
But finally, seven hours later, she heard Starfire in the hall.

Raven we must come! Mad mumbo's escaped from prison, and we must get him before her gets his magic wand!

Raven was up and ready in a second.

The whole thing was all too easy. Without his wand he was completely powerless. The only tricky part was finding him, but they did and all they really had to do was hold his hands behind his back really firmly and call the police.

Once they were home again, Raven curled up in a chair and read. But a few moments later, everyone was in front of the TV with the volume all the way up.

What's on? Robin asked.

Let's see, said Cyborg. He grabbed the remote, and began flipping through the channels.

Make up your mind already! Beast Boy cried.

Hey! Who gets the remote tonight?

You do, he grumbled.

Everyone was quiet. All that could be heard was the sound of several different shows every five seconds when Cyborg changed the channel.

Will you just give me the remote! Beast Boy said suddenly.



Come on! Just pick a show!

Make me! I want to see all the choices!





Give it here!

Quit it!

Stop pushing!

It's just a remote! Robin said, exasperated.

So, I get it tonight! Cyborg cried.

Friends, let us not fight!

Cy, give it, or pick a channel!





Raven was so sick all the noise. Everyone was screaming, and with the sound of pro-wrestling in the background, she'd had it.

Will everyone just shut up! she screamed. The TV, the lights, and everything else shut off.
I can't even hear myself think!

I can't even see myself! Cyborg added. Can someone please turn the lights back on!

No until you guys knock it off.

Raven's right, said Starfire. We are behaving like animals.

Some of us kinda are, whispered Robin.

Heard that! cried Beast Boy.

Come on guys, Cyborg said. Let's give the lady a little peace and quiet. Robin said. Truce guys..... and girls.

they all agreed.

But you didn't need to blow a fuse about it, said Beast Boy.

Raven's eyes suddenly lit up bright red. Don't you EVER talk to me!

Everyone's eyes widened. They didn't see her like this often. Beast Boy was practically shaking. Raven grabbed her book, and stormed off, leaving them in pitch black.

After about twenty minutes, Cyborg had re-circut the fuse box in the basement, and the power was back on.

Good job, Cy, Robin said, as he came back upstairs.

Yes. It is glorious to have light shed upon us again, Starfire agreed. But I do wonder what is troubling our friend Raven. She is not normally that.... angry.

Yeah, I was wondering that too, Cyborg said. She really snapped at you, BB.

Yeah Beast Boy! Robin said. What did you do to her?

It may not be Beast Boy's fault, Starfire said. She may have just gotten irritated, and Beast Boy happened to be the one she lost her temper over.

But she was mad at you during breakfast too, said Cyborg. You guys seemed so happy together recently. What happened?

Beast Boy protested. He wasn't ready to tell everyone about what happened last night. I think Star's right, she's just in a bad mood, and I happen to be the one she lost her temper over.

But still, I don't think it was just a bad day. A bad day normally doesn't go that far, even with Raven, sighed Robin. But I guess she's just complicated like that.

Meanwhile, Raven stormed into her room, slamming the door with her mind, and sat down on her floor to meditate for a while. She knew she needed to calm way down. She levitated herself up, and crossed her legs into a comfortable position, and let her mind wander into Nevermore, where she could go to her only happy place, or at least it seemed like it now.

Hours passed, and she found herself nearly falling asleep, so she let herself down, and right on the floor she drifted into rest with a smile on her face, because she knew the end of this horrible day had finally come. But the smile did not stay for long.

Raven was running to nowhere. It was pitch black, and she could see nothing. She could feel every fiber of her body go limp and numb. She tried with all her will to stop running, but her body wouldn't let her. It was like it was in a trance to keep running. Even when her legs ached and she was losing her breath, she kept running. She looked around frantically. Everything was so dark. She couldn't even see her legs moving to the beat of her pounding heart. She needed help.

Robin! Cyborg! Starfire! she screamed with all her might. But it only came out in a whisper that echoed across the darkness. She had to stop herself. She had to do something- anything! She tried to yell, but again, it was only a whisper. She waved her hands around blindly, but she felt nothing. Just the cold. Oh, it was so cold, she thought she was going to freeze! She was going to freeze and die! She tried to bend down and feel what she was running on, but she tripped over her constantly running feet, and fell flat on her back. But without even a second to realize what had happened, her feet began running again, dragging her behind. She used all her might to pull her back up again. She felt very dizzy and when she tried to feel her head, she only felt a thick, dark liquid. It was blood.

She was in so much pain and agony, and so dizzy, she knew she was going to be sick. She had to stop her self.

Azarath metrion ZINTHOS! she cried. She could hear the quiet call echoing all around her. Finally, she pushed backwards with all her might, and all her strength, and a black burst of light came from her hands, sending her flying backwards into another dark corner. She landed with a loud echoing thud', and laid there clutching her stomach with one hand, and her head in the other. She keeled over, and vomited into the blackness. Then, she curled up and lay there, defeated.

She moaned, but nothing came out. She didn't know if her eyes were opened or closed anymore, it was so dark. She shuttered. So dark,' she thought. How can something be so dark. This wasn't just normal darkness. It was much worse.'

she whispered into the dark. Please, someone save me.

Suddenly, she heard a cracking sound underneath her. She took one final, shaky breath, and began to fall into darkness.
