Muhahaha...ahem, in case you were wondering, yes, I am evil. I'm finally getting into the plot! Now on to the next Chapter!

Chapter 3 – "Wake Up Call"
'I hate this!' Raven screamed in her head as she threw her body on the bed. As soon as she hit the bed, something exploded. She didn't look to see what it was. "I'm so tired to living like this. It's so stupid. I wish I didn't have any powers at all. I wish-I wish I were like everyone else! I would give up everything, if I could just have one day when I didn't have my powers." Raven said. Tears overflowed her eyes, and she heard something else explode. That made her cry even harder, but eventually she fell asleep.
The next morning, she felt someone shaking her. She kept her eyes closed and rolled over, 'Beast Boy, I don't want to talk about it.' She thought, not trusting herself to say it out loud. The person shaking her suddenly stopped shaking her and said "Raven, honey, you're going to have to get out of bed eventually, you can't hide from Becky forever." Raven was startled by the fact that the person speaking was a woman. Raven's eyes shot open, and she sat up instantly. She found herself staring into the face of a very beautiful black haired woman. "Who are you?" Raven said, completely terrified. "Honey, who do you think I am? I'm your mother, and as your mother, I'm telling you that you can't hide from your cousin Becky all day. It's Christmas, and no child of mine is going to sleep all the way through Christmas." The lady replied.
"No, no you can't be my mother. My mother is back in Azarath." Suddenly, Raven looked at her room. It was completely pink. Raven looked back at the woman claiming to be her mother, and asked "What happened to my room, why is it pink?! What did you do?" Raven was terrified by this situation, and the woman claiming to be her mother was on the brink of tears. "Raven, what's wrong? We didn't do anything to your room. It's been the same shade of pink since you were 7. What is Azarath? Honey, are you feeling okay?"
"Stop calling me that! You're not my mother." Raven said. 'What's going on here? Who is this woman?' Raven was on the edge of hysterics...but after a moment, a thought came to her, 'Maybe-maybe I should play along. Maybe this woman kidnapped me, thinking I was her daughter...or maybe I'm just going insane...either way, maybe I should just play along.' Raven looked at her 'Mother'; the woman was looking at her in such a concerned face, anyone that was watching could have easily thought the woman was her mother. Raven put on her best face, and tried to sound convincing. "I-I'm sorry mother, I shouldn't have spoken to you that way...I had a bad dream, I guess I hadn't realized I woke up. You're right I can't hide from Becky forever." The woman still looked a little confused, but took Raven's word for face value. "Are you sure you're feeling all right?" "Yes mother. I'm feeling wonderful." Raven said, and in a bizarre way, it was true. For some reason, Raven's head didn't feel like it usually did...she couldn't put her finger on it, but there was something missing. Suddenly she realized that she wasn't fighting with her emotions. It was like they were just there, sitting in her head. It was the most peculiar feeling. It was like she wasn't having to fighting to keep things in, it was like it just happened naturally. "All right, if you're sure you're feeling okay..." the mother said, still looking a little concerned. After a moment, the woman's concern disappeared and was replaced with a smile. "You should probably get dressed. Santa came last night," The mother said as she left the pink room. "Santa? Who believes in Santa anymore?" Even though Raven was slightly enjoying her missing emotions, she was still a little disturbed at the morning's events. 'Who was that woman? Who is this Becky person I'm hiding from? Where is Beast Boy?' she thought to herself. The last question was the one that plagued her most. Where was he? What if that woman had hurt him? Raven couldn't think long about it because she was expected downstairs, and if that woman had hurt Beast Boy, who knows what she would do?
