Raven covered her ears tightly. No,' she thought. No more! Please!'

Come on Raven, the voices said. Don't tell me that you're afraid!

Stop it! I don't fear you! I don't, just leave, please! Anyone help me!

You're not afraid, huh? I mean, what's to be afraid of? But trust me, I can make you be afraid, if you're not already.

Alright! I am afraid! Just please, no more!

he gasped. How can you be afraid? It's just a little darkness. Wait. Don't tell me you're......afraid of the dark?!?

But she was afraid. This isn't darkness,' she though. This isn't anything! It's total nothingness! Where am I?'

If you're afraid right now, just wait until you see what happens next! Then, the voice laughed. It was a high-pitched, menacing laugh.

Raven could feel pressure being put on her. She could feel she was being held down by frozen metal bars. They crushed her face against the cold ground beneath her. She could barley breath, as she felt more bars around her, squeezing her sides, and pinning her arms to her body.

Azarath..... azarath metri...... azar..... and her mind went blurry.

Raven woke up in her bed. She had pushed all the blankets off her, and as she felt her forehead, she found a big bruise where she must have hit her head.

What a dream. It was even worse than her other darkness dream. Her face was flushed, and she could feel the skin around her eyes burning. She got up and went to the bathroom to splash some water on her face. It felt nice and cool.

It was already late in the morning. Everyone was up and in the training room.

There, you are Raven, said Cyborg. Can you help me with something?

Uh.... sure.

he said, grabbing her hand. Come on!

He pulled her over to where a bunch of heavy pieces of iron scrape metal sat.

My machine that drops all this down on this tray for me to lift broke, and I need someone to drop pieces of this down one by one. Can you use your powers to do that for me?

I guess.

Great, thanks!

Cyborg picked up a huge metal tray, and one by one, Raven lifted the huge pieces of iron and dropped it in.

Finally, she said, That's all of it.

cried Cyborg. I did it! I lifted em all! Thanks Raven! You helped me a lot! he dropped the tray at his side. Can I help you with something, maybe? You could throw your barrels at me or something.

No, that's okay, I don't really feel like..... Then she stopped. Actually, maybe I do need your help. Could you come with me?

Of course!

He followed Raven to the couch in the main room. Here, sit down.

You're actually going to play video games?

No, I just wanted the couch. We need some place far away from everyone else to talk.

Okay, I see. Does this happen to have anything to do with how strange, or stranger than normal, you're been acting?

Yeah, it does.

Oh okay. Do you want me to ask Beast Boy to spend more time with you, because I know he can be pretty full of himself, and it may seem impossible to get through to him, but I tell you, if you sit him down and......

she cried.

That's not what's bothering you, is it?

She shook her head and looked down.

Oh, you guys are in a fight.

Yes, but it's worse than that! Ever since we first got angry at each other, I've been having these dreams. These awful terrible dreams, about pitch darkness, and not being able to control what's gong on!

That's why you look so pale every morning?

Yes! And I don't know what I should do.

Well, I might have a theory about what's going on, but as of how to fix it, I'll leave that up to you.

Well, what's you theory?

I think that maybe your dreams are controlled by your emotions, just like everything else in your life.

But I never have had many dreams before.

Well, maybe you haven't had many emotions at night before now?

That's logical.

So, I have to figure out my own way to fix it, huh?

Cyborg said. They both smiled.

I think I need to work things out with Beast Boy.

I think so too.

There was a long pause between them. Hey, Raven?



What were you and Beast Boy fighting over, anyway?

Well.... um, it was....er, I don't know if..... and we.... well......

Cyborg just laughed. I can't believe you two! Really? You did it?

Raven whispered. And I was mad because I wasn't ready, and Beast Boy was being completely careless! He didn't even think of what could have happened!

Yeah, Beast Boy can be like that. But you know, he's Beast Boy. He can't help it.

I guess.

He really loves you, Raven. He talks about you all the time. Even just yesterday, he was telling me that you were everything to him.

Suddenly, Raven felt a deep lurch in the bottom of her stomach. It was the sinking feeling of guilt. She had to make things right with Beast Boy.

Suddenly, she noticed Cyborg's eye was flashing red. Same with her broach on her cloak.

Cyborg, we've got trouble, she said.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!

I need to make right with Beast Boy, still!

There's no time! We'll talk to him later!

Raven took one last look at the main room. They first said I love you there. She just hoped Beast Boy would forgive her.
