Author's Note: Okay, hey this is Dannysckr writing the story here. Some of you guys might have seen my comments or not. Anyways, this is my first fan fiction story I'm writing so be nice to it. Just give constructive comments and blah blah blah. Ummmm, I know that the gender says romance/humor, but this chapter might not be either of them. It might be in the next chapter though. Well could you just please read the story and tell me how it is. There is a new character in the story that will appear in later chapters. So enjoy and NO FLAMES!!!

1. Rain

Rain. It was what calmed her...what made her come back to reality. She looked at the raindrops dropping from the sky each one different from one another. What separated her from feeling the joy and that warm fuzzy feeling that you get from dancing in the rain. She had heard of how people acted when in the rain, but she never got the chance to feel what they were feeling.

Raven closed her eye for one pure second forgetting everything from her troubles to her past. Slowly, her eyes opened up to show tears streaming down her pale silky cheeks. Thinking about her curse that was given to her from her father and had forbidden her to feel joy, sad, lazy, angry, excited, crazy, brave and love. As she thought more and more about it, more tears were streaming down her cheeks and she could feel her emotions getting loose and soon they will make her-

"BOOM!!" as one of her vase exploded near her bad.

blow stuff.

Raven sighed. She whispered her three most common words for a couple of minutes.... slowly regaining her control over her emotions. As she settled down when she was relaxed and not all tensed up, she turned her head towards the window again.

'Rain' she thought again 'it would be so lonely to dance in the rain but I guess it is one of the most enjoyable activities when one could do when feelings confused and sad'

And thus, she decided to go outside to try and stand in the rain. As she walked towards her door, she looked at her clock.

Tuesday 12:24am.

She slid the door just enough for her to go out and quickly slid it back quietly, making sure not to wake the others up. She quickly walked down the long dark hallway and proceeded towards the exit of the tower on the 1st floor, taking the elevator.

'If I dance in the rain I surely will feel happy and that will make me once again loose control over happy and I can't let that happen since everyone will wake up and go looking for me and—oh forget it!' she angrily thought at herself.

"BOOM!!!"

....the emergency telephone in the elevator exploded.

That was the last nerve in Raven and she was about to push the cancel button on the elevator and push the 5th floor when her inner voice spoke back,

'Look Raven, calm yourself first. Just go out and stand in the rain and say the words if you feel that the emotions are about to come out. That wouldn't destroy or hurt anyone at least and you could still feel what it feels like to be in the rain, just not the feeling though' answered her back calmly and sensibly.

'I could do that.' She replied and put her hand back down to her side.

When the elevator doors swished open, she stepped out and onto the lobby floor of the 'T' shaped tower which was called her home for the last 5 years. When she finally reached the door, she hesitated but took a step into the rain with doubt on her mind. She walked onto the middle of the training field that was empty. She stood there for probably about 30 minutes enjoying the feeling of wetness on her face and everywhere. She wasn't happy or sad, she was... content. She was content but she wanted to feel more and be able to feel without getting something destroyed or hurt. She wanted to be free to feel and do what her friends did, argue, get mad, sad, angry, happy, and so fourth. She sighed as the rain soaked her and made Raven shivered a little, but she stood there like someone frozen in time. She pulled her hood down and looked out into the sea of Jump City. She stood there gazing out into the open sea never blinking and...never realizing someone was watching her.
