Quick authors note: This chapter might have a load of mistakes as far as Raven's mother is concerned, so please don't get mad – it is merely for the use of this storyline, k? On with the chapter!

Chapter three.

"N-not again-n..." groaned Rae, sitting up and rubbing her sore head. "This is ridiculous. Where am I this time?"

She touched her leg and pinched herself to make sure she was still alive. As much as she wanted to test – she wasn't going to throw a book through herself, that was too creepy and totally illogical.

Standing, shakily to her feet she walked out of her room, instinctively pulling her hood up on the way.

"Hey Raven!"

She spun around instantly. She knew that voice.

"Beastboy!" she said with a little more enthusiasm than intended. She blushed under her hood.

What happened to miss independent?

No more the need for me to miss him

"What do you want?" she queried reverting to monotone, as the changeling came running up. Just that second it occurred to her that she was back in her own time. The sounds in the room echoed in her fragile head. She felt dizzy.

"Just wanted to apologise for earlier. Like, I swear I didn't say anything – but if you said you heard something I believe you and...dude are you okay?"

Raven was far from okay. The swirling voices and suction in her mind had become worse. She opened her eyes, her vision blurring.

"Run, Beastboy. Get out of here." She stammered out, as she felt herself losing control of her powers. Her door fell down, and before it hit the ground with a resounding thud, she had passed out.

Goodbye, old you

Real love, is true

Raven's came into consciousness with strange thoughts in her mind. She could feel something trying to tug her back into reality but she was powerless to resist the force that was driving her from place to place.

White.

Everywhere she looked there was white. Almost nothing in the world left except herself. Where was this?

She looked for signs of life. 'Am I dead?'

"Hello?" she called into the white mass. No answer. Although she managed to control her emotions most of the time, the events of the day had gone one step to far. She felt a lump in her throat.

"Am I dead? Am I alone?" she cried, feeling the tears welling up in her lilac eyes.

"You are neither dead nor alone, my child."

The sudden sound made her jump. The voice was thick and echoing as though someone was talking through water. She looked around but the voice seemed as empty as the place she was in.

"Who are you?"

"Don't you recognise my voice, Metrion?"

Two lilac eyes, were wide in the white mist. "Mother?"

"I've missed you, my dear daughter."

"So, it's you who's been transporting me then?" said Raven, her voice still quiet and unemotional. The voice seemed to chuckle.

"Ah, yes. I apologise. But you needed to know."

"To know what? What is this all about?"

"Love."

Miss Independent

Miss Self-sufficient

Miss Keep your distance, no

Miss On her own

Miss Almost grown

Miss Never let a man help her off her phone

"What?" said Raven, her heart racing.

"You know. Deep down, you know. And you cannot hide from it any longer, Raven. Because you know what will happen if you do."

A cog turned in the Azarathian's mind. "So, those were visions of the future?"

"Visions? Yes. You could call them that, I suppose. Heed my warning, dear child. If you do not let your heart be free then it will feel the torment of a thousand deaths."

"But, you have to understand. I can't. I can't feel anything because of what might happen."

"What you believe might happen. When, around him, have you hurt him or yourself, or those around you? Negative thoughts, Raven. They will consume you unless you counter them."

So, by keeping her heart protected

She'd never ever feel rejected

Little Miss Apprehensive

Said oOo; she fell in love

"With what? How can I?" questioned Raven, her headache reappearing. She crumpled onto the floor.

"Our time grows short, my child. Listen to me now. This is not something you must do. This is a choice you must make. But know this – Trigon is waiting. And he can feel your negativity winning over your positive light. Don't let him win, Raven. For your sake, don't let him into your thoughts again."

"I don't know what to do. How can I know what's right?"

"Live, Metrion. Just live."

Raven felt the tug from the present and screamed. Her head began to spin, the white being consumed by darkness, by black. Her world dissolving into pain again. The strangest thing was, Raven knew what she had to do.

What is the feelin takin over?

Thinkin' no one could open the door

Surprise

Its time

To feel

Whats real
