'Ello Duckies!

Heh Heh. Tis I, Raven, here with Chapter 2 of "Save Me." I didn't realize that I would add more chapters in the first one, so I put "THE END" at the end. It certainly is NOT the end! Evil laugh

This chapter is based off of the Evanescence song, "Whisper." I haven't figured out a good chapter name yet, but I will soon! This chapter also has a little piece of a normal day at Titans Tower...It's totally irrelevant to the story, but I put it in anyway. It was fun to write! glee

Enjoy!

"Whisper" -Evanescence

Catch me as I fall Say you're here and it's all over now Speaking to the atmosphere No one's here and I fall into myself This truth drives me Into madness I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die) I'm frightened by what I see But somehow I know that there's much more to come Immobilized by my fear And soon to be blinded by tears I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die) Fallen angels at my feet Whispered voices in my ear Death before my eyes Lying next to me, I fear She beckons me, shall I give in Upon my end, shall I begin Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light (Never sleep, never die)

Raven was sitting in her room, listening to the Evanescence CD that Cyborg had given her. I thought you would like it He had said that day. Of course, she did. It was the last song on the CD, called "Whisper," that really made her listen to the words.

...Catch me as I fall Say you're here and it's all over now Speaking to the atmosphere No one's here and I fall into myself This truth drives me Into madness

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away...

Raven was shocked! She had been having some inner battles lately, bad ones, and this song was describing exactly how she was feeling.

I can't believe it! How can a song...hit me this hard? As she contemplated this, several things in her room blew up. Whoah. I guess I should meditate to clear my head... she thought...but the words to that song kept coming up.

...Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light

(Never sleep, never die)...

"Asarath, Metrion, Zinthos....Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos..." she muttered, but still those lyrics kept coming up.

...I'm frightened by what I see But somehow I know that there's much more to come Immobilized by my fear And soon to be blinded by tears

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away...

"UUGH!" the dark girl exclaimed in frustration. Why do I keep thinking about that song??? As she thought this, her statue of the drama masks blew into pieces. Great. I'm losing control now. She sighed. I guess I should clean up...It'll at least keep my mind busy..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing Gamestation, and Cyborg was winning...of course.

"You can't beat me BB! Face it, You're just a loser!" Cyborg said laughing.

"I don't think so!" Beast Boy said mischievously.

After a few minutes, the game was over, and Cyborg had won.

"Hey, Where's Robin and Starfire?" BB asked.

"Robin's probably 'explaining Earth customs' to her!" Cyborg said sarcastically.

"You know that's not what they're doing!" Beast Boy said as he laughed at this on going joke. It was so obvious that Robin and Star were hooking up, but they were hiding it so bad that it was obvious. It was the joke of Titans Tower.

"Hey, ya hungry?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah I am! I'll make up some tofu dogs!"

"No way! I want WAFFLES!"

"No way dude! TOFU DOGS!"

As the two teenagers were arguing, Raven walked in and started a pot of tea, without anyone noticing until...

"I SAID I WA..." Cyborg was about to go on while choking Beast Boy when he saw Raven, "Oh! Hi Rae!"

"Umm... Hey...Were you two arguing over food again?"

"Nooo..." they both said in unison, looking guilty.

"How about we just order a pizza?" Raven suggested.

"Sounds great! ONLY IF it's Vegetarian," the green teen exclaimed.

"Aw Nah, not this again!" Cyborg said as they argued some more.

Raven rolled her eyes as she poured her tea.

"What's going on here?" Robin said, inquisitively.

"We want to order a pizza...You know how Cyborg and Beast Boy get," Raven explained.

Robin shook his head and dialed the number to place the order at Pizza Hut. He order a "4 for all" pizza, so everyone would be satisfied.

As all this was taking place, Raven made her way to the couch and started sipping at her tea when Starfire joined her.

"Hello friend Raven! How are you today?" Starfire said enthusiastically.

"Umm...fine. Soo what was Robin explaining to you today, Starfire?" Raven said in between sips.

"He was explaining the 'In-ter-net' to me. It was very fascinating!"

"I'm sure it was."

"Is something wrong Raven?"

"No," the dark girl said whilst she glared at Starfire.

"Oh. Alright."

The doorbell rang, indicating that the pizza was here.

"Oh what a joyous sound! Oooh, wait! Isn't it called a 'door-bell?'"

"Yeah. Let's eat," Raven said as the girls walked to the circular table.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After pizza, Raven went back into her room to meditate. Now that I have a full stomach, maybe I can concentrate.

"Asarath, Metrion Zinthos... Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos...." Raven said quietly as she hovered, her cape dragging on the ground.

Yet again, the lyrics to that song came into her mind.

...Fallen angels at my feet Whispered voices in my ear Death before my eyes Lying next to me, I fear She beckons me, shall I give in Upon my end, shall I begin Forsaking all I've fallen for

I rise to meet the end...

Goddamnit! Why is this song in my head??? Why does this song describe what I'm going through?!?!

While Raven was thinking those thoughts, an orb of her own black energy surrounded her and put her into a trance.

Unggh...Can't...move...Can't think...Cy..Cyborg...help me! She thought inside of the orb.

Just then, Cyborg walked in. (He was the only Titan allowed in Raven's room.)

"RAVEN!" Cyborg yelled as he saw her floating in mid-air inside the orb, "Raven! Wake up! I'm here!...Please Raven!"

As Cyborg's voice came into her ears, she woke up from the trance and fell into his arms.

"Cy...Cyborg...That...that song..." Raven muttered.

"What song?" the cybernetic teen asked while holding the dark girl he loved.

"The last song...on the CD you...gave me...that song..."

Cyborg then put Raven onto her bed and she fell asleep in exhaustion. Then, the half-robot teen went to Raven's CD player, put on her headphones, and put on the last song.

...Fallen angels at my feet Whispered voices in my ear Death before my eyes Lying next to me, I fear She beckons me, shall I give in Upon my end, shall I begin Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end Don't turn away (Don't give in to the pain) Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name) Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them) Don't turn out the light

(Never sleep, never die)

So this is the song she was talking about...It must have hit her in some way...She needs me now more than ever... He then glanced over to where Raven laid. I hope you're alright Rae.

End of Chapter 2!

I hope you liked it! I had fun writing it!

If you're wondering why I picked that song, it's because I was listening to it and it was screaming, "CHAPTER 2 OF 'SAVE ME.'" Heh.

What will happen next? What will happen to Raven??

Stay tuned!
