weekends!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Raven woke up, but not in fear but in confusion. These dreams were getting on her nerve. What could they mean?
'Raven,' said a hollow voice.
"Who's there?" Raven asked getting frightened.
'It's me, mommy.' Came the voice again.
"My mom's dead!" She answered.
'But I wanted to speak to you.' The voice said.
"Fine then, speak." Raven said.
'I notice your pain, child.' The voice said but was less hollow this time.
"So you notice now? How about when I was in the orphanage? Or when I was crying or lonely? Where were you when I was having nightmares?" she said on the verge of tears.
'They only let me speak to you once until you reach 20.' The hollow voice answered.
"Why not wait till then?" she said crying now.
'What did I always tell you about crying?' the voice answered.
There was silence after that. Raven had fallen asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Raven awoke to a knocking at her door. She was still sweaty and a little shaken. Was it a dream too? Yes, it probably was. When she opened the door all the Titans, not including Manzilla were at her door.
They looked extremely angry about something.
"What?" Raven asked.
"Why are you so heartless?" said Cyborg.
"What are you talking about?" Raven was getting confused.
"That prank that you did on Manzilla!" said Robin.
Raven looked hurt as she stared at Robin. Would he believe that she did something like that?
"I didn't do anything." She said truthfully.
"Come off it, Raven! You turned the girl's hair purple for crying out loud!" said a very angry Beast boy.
"But I didn't go near Manzilla since you guys came back last night!" she said.
"Raven, we're just trying to assist you." Said starfire with downcast eyes.
"Yea Raven, we're trying to help you but you just don't want help!" said Cyborg.
"Yea, so why did you turn her hair purple?" said Beast boy.
Raven looked at them. She couldn't believe they would lie like that. Her eyes got blurry. Liars. That's what they are.
"Why don't you guys shut up?! I don't want help! You're lying! I know you are! So just leave me ALONE!" she said shutting her door behind her.
Raven could hear them walking away. She didn't want their pity. Why would they think that she would turn Manzilla's hair purple in the first place? That's when she saw it. A note was on her bed. Why didn't she notice it before?
"What's this?" she asked herself.
She picked it up. It was in cursive she never saw before.
'Dear Raven,
It's me, mom. I know you don't want to believe that you were talking to me last night but I'm afraid it's true. I had to leave you something before I leave so I left my amulet you always liked. I remember when you were a little girl you always admired it.
With Love,
Mother
Raven stood rooted to the spot. Was this really from her mother? It had to be. No one else knew about her mother's amulet except Raven. Not even Trigon knew about it. She remembered that her mother used it when she needed to stay up late and pay bills so she didn't have to sleep.
Raven really did always like the amulet. It was a dark blue gem surrounded by sterling silver in the shape of a griffon. She took the small package next to the note and unwrapped it delicately as if it was the most precious thing in the universe. As she took out the last piece of rope, out fell a beautiful amulet.
Raven put on the amulet and looked in the mirror. With this on she won't be able to sleep. That's one problem solved.
~*~ later that day~*~
Raven never left her room that day. She was to busy being a bookworm. She was as happy as she could be. Even though she was still having second thoughts about her friends she was feeling a lot better now that she had her amulet.
Just then there was a knock on her door.
"Whose there?" she asked hoping it wasn't the Titans here to 'help' her again.
"It's Robin, can I come in?" came his voice.
Raven's stomach fluttered.
"No! I'll come out. No one can come into my room, remember?" she said in her usual monotone.
"Sure, do you want to go on a walk?" He asked as she got out.
"Ummm, alright." She answered, trying not to sound excited.
~*~At the Park~*~
It was a windy fall day. Raven didn't wear her uniform because of the cold. Instead she wore black-dyed jeans and a black turtle-neck sweater with some sneakers.
Robin wore plain jeans and a white T-shirt with a jacket. It was a silent walk. Nothing could be heard except for the wind howling it's way through the trees.
Finally Robin broke the silence.
"So, What's going on?" He asked
"Nothing." Raven said putting up her usual shield.
"Raven, why do you do this?" He asked but with more force in his voice.
Raven didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry Robin but wouldn't you have more fun talking to Starfire or Manzilla?" she asked with anger clear in her voice.
Robin looked confused for a minute.
"We're just trying to help-"he began.
"Like you helped when you left me behind when you were fighting or when you had a great victory party and yet I was left behind like I was in a cage or something?" She asked but more pain filled her voice than anger.
Robin didn't know what to say. He looked awestruck.
"Raven I-we didn't mean it we just thought-"but he was cut short yet again.
"You didn't think at all! Because if you thought at all you would know that I like you, a lot!" she said with her eyes shining.
Robin's jaw fell. He looked at Raven with a look of concern.
"Raven, I like Starfire-"But he couldn't continue Raven had already teleported back to her room.
"-but I love you." He finished but it was too late.
~*~Ravens Room~*~
She wasn't going to cry, she wouldn't allow it. She sat crossed legged on her bed. There were photos on her bed. One of Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin. She had gotten one of Manzilla from her room. She burned some incense and lit a large candle. She took the photo of Cyborg and burned it easily. She repeated this with the other photos until she reached Robin's photo. She decided to keep that one.
It wasn't like she was extremely angry at them, it was just that she was in a tough state right now and she really didn't need these kinds of things bothering her life.
Slowly the smoke from the flames turned black and an image appeared in the smoke. It was a man. He looked like he didn't have a nose and just one eye.
"Hello, Raven." The man said.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I am Slade."
