True Colours.
Robin hadn't slept in days, not since Raven had left. That was clear to the others. But despite their suggestions that he should take a rest, the boy would not. He had to find her. After what had happened…. He shut his eyes. 'It's my fault. I should have told her. I should have let her know that there was someone who cared for her,' But he was so tired. Resisting the temptation of sleep, he continued with his work. 'I'm going to find her.' he reassured himself. 'And them I'm going to tell her everything. Everything that I feel towards her,' Raven's pale yet beautiful face flashed in his mind. So stunning. So mysterious. Then he recalled how she had looked right before she had left. Upset. Angry. Cold. He shuddered. "I'm sorry Raven. I'm so sorry," he whispered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe we should be helping the others look for Raven?" Terra said, walking arm in arm with Beast Boy through the park.
The green boy smiled nervously. "Trust me Terra I don't think that would be a good idea," He stopped beside a bench and the pair sat down, still holding each other closely.
Terra didn't need him to say it. In fact she didn't want him to say it. It was her fault. Ever since she had arrived things had gone down hill for the Goth. No wonder she had felt like she was being replaced, Terra thought sadly. 'How many lives do you have to ruin? When is enough, enough for you?'
"I'm sorry," her voice was small. "I should never have come back," The tears were falling down her face softly. With one outstretched hand, Beast Boy wiped them away.
"I glad you did," He leaned in and kissed her. Terra wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him back. Unaware that they were both being watched.
Scarlet wrinkled her nose in a mixture of disgust and envy. Safely hidden from view, she crouched low in the tree. Clinging tightly to the bark with her fingertips. She pulled them harshly, not caring that her nails were beginning to bleed. Her iris's were burning crimson, something they had never done before. Maybe the doctors had all been wrong. Maybe there was a bit of a demon in her. Or at least maybe she had the temper of a demon….
The sound of Beast Boy communicator rang high into the air. Immediately Beast Boy grab it and turned it on. Robin's pale face appeared on the screen.
"Dude, you look awful," Beast Boy squealed. "I really think you could do with some sleep!"
"I'll sleep when we find Raven," the boy said. "I think I've got a lead, but I want us all to be there. Except ….," His voice tailed off.
"Except Terra, right!" Beast Boy snapped.
Robin nodded. "Sorry BB, but I don't want anything upsetting her,"
Beast Boy slammed the lid shut, cutting Robin off. His face, full of fury, quickly changed to sadness when he saw Terra's.
"I'm not going without you," His hand fell on her shoulder. "You're a member of this team, whether Raven likes it or not,"
"No," Terra shook her head. "You have to go. She's your friend. She needs you,"
"She's your friend too," Beast Boy said reassuringly.
Terra stood up. Blonde hair covered her face. "Raven and I will never be friends. I have no one to blame but myself," she forced a smile. "You go, I'll be fine here!"
Beast Boy kissed her cheek. "I'll be back soon,"
The blonde girl waved at him as he turned into a bird and flew away. When she could see his shape no more, the girl flung herself back on to the bench. Trying her hardest not to cry. She had to find a way of making it up to Raven, but the memories of everything she had done, made her wonder if she really did deserve to be forgiven.
"Hello Terra," The cold dry voice of Scarlet echoed above her. Terra raised her head.
"Raven, what are y…arrrragghh!!!" she fell to her knees holding her head. The pain was unbearable, the tiny girl pass out in a matter of seconds. Scarlet smiled to herself.
"Raven lasted twice as long as you!" she sneered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old fun fair had been abandon for months. For Scarlet this was a perfect hideout. No one would ever think to look for Raven here. She transported Terra's unconscious body into the house of mirrors, dumping it in a large empty room, then sat back waiting for the girl to come to, and for the fun to begin. She didn't have to wait long. Terra stirred, gripped her head, then clambered to her feet, knowing all to well where she was. This building held bitter memories for her.
"Awake at last," Scarlet folded her arms, leaning against the mirrors. Her reflection echoing throughout the hall.
Terra was stunned by what she saw. Everything about the girl had changed, and she didn't just mean her clothing. It was her manner. Her tone of voice. Heck even her attitude had changed. Like she was a totally different person.
"Raven, what's wrong with you?" Terra took a step towards her.
Scarlet corked her head to the right. "Nothing's wrong Ter, I'm just seeing you guys for the pathetic bunch of wimps that you are,"
The girl hadn't not expected that at all. Her mouth fell open. Her blue eyes blinked. "I know you're upset" she said quietly.
"Ha! You know nothing!" Scarlet snapped. "I've spent a lifetime alone. I thought having friends would be different. But it's not! Its exactly the same. I'm alone!!" The glass smashed around Terra, slicing her skin. Terra howled in pain.
"Raven, please stop I don't want to fight you," She was crying, holding her wounded arm firmly against her chest. "I know it's my fault, and I'm sorry,"
Scarlet tipped back her head and roared with laughter. "Aw honey, it's not completely your fault. Don't worry I'll make the others pay as well,"
There was no other option. Raven had totally lost it. Terra had to attack. So she did. But she was unable to make even one successful bow to the purple haired girl, who had such a sinister grin upon her face, that a chill rushed Terra's back. At that very instant, she knew the truth.
"Your not Raven, are you?!" Terra demanded.
Scarlet smirked. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Gee, it's just to bad that I'm now gonna kill you, thus preventing you from warning the others. Oh dear," Terra body was pinned to the floor, as Scarlet forced the building to crumple down around her. Terra was powerless to stop it, and her pitiful screams were shortly drowned out.
The girl played with her red curl as she watched the destruction she had caused. It was fun, she couldn't stop smiling. And this was only the beginning. All the Titans would fall. Yet she couldn't decide whether she should let Robin live. He had been so kind to her. Her thoughts drifted off into a dream world. Maybe she would…

The dark figure entered the room.
"Raven," a voice hissed. "I've been expecting you,"
