Summary: Raven's always been alone. Until now. (A rewrite of Spellbound)
One: Always Alone
Raven sighed, her book her only companion. Outside her door she heard Cyborg and Beastboy playing Goddess knew what.
She returned her thoughts to her book, trying to block out the sounds of fun that were being made.
In her secret heart, she wished that she could join in.
She couldn't though. First off, she, well, she'd never admit it, not ever, but the way they all just enjoyed themselves, the thought of doing that…frightened her a little. It was stupid really. If she ever told, they'd probably laugh at her.
She went back to her book. Back to the world of fantasy….only to be interrupted by the Titans alarm going off.
"Damn."
Cardiac? Where do these guys come up with this stuff? Yeesh. Raven lazily eyes the mechanical enemy, already wanting to get the fight over with.
"Azerath Metrion Xinthos!" She cried out, and a few minutes later, the battle was over.
She immediately rushed to the T-Car and buckled herself in. "Can we please go now?"
'And as I prepared-' Her thoughts were cut off by a knock on her door. Growling, she opened it. "What?"
Robin smiled at her. "Hey Raven, you ran up here so fast. Is everything okay?"
"Everything's fine." She slammed the door shut and picked her book back up…and a minute later someone else knocked.
Yet again she found herself stalking over to the door and growling "what?" to Starfire.
The redhead grinned at her. "Hello Friend Raven. I have journeyed to the mall of shopping and discovered these pretty hair ornaments," she gestured to her hair and Raven needed to use all her concentration not to laugh, "And I wanted to know if you would like to out some on with me?"
"No." Slam!
She sat onto her bed and flipped her book to where she'd left off…and there was yet another knock. That's it! Someone's dying today!
She threw the door open, ready to kill. "What?!"
Beastboy grinned at her. "Wanna play some stink ball? Cy and I just made it up! And we need a referee to play the extreme level? Wanna?" He held up a striped cape.
"No!" Slam!!!
She made to turn away from the door when she heard Beastboy talking. Creepy? Do they really think…? She felt her heart sink with those words and tears threatened to spill. I won't cry. I can't. It's not worth it! THEY'RE not worth it!
She sank onto her bed cradling her book.
"I…I just wish that there was someone out there who could understand me…"
Silence, and then:
"Hello."
Raven stared at the book for a moment, then threw it to the ground. Her book was talking to her!
"Well that wasn't very nice."
TBC
Well? What do you all think?
Should I do any pairing? Who?
