~*~ Tower- 7:00 A.M. ~*~
It was all quiet in Robin's room . . . until the alarm went off.
"What?!" Robin yelled while he woke up with a start.
He looked down at his sketch of Raven and smiled. It looked exactly like her, she deserved it.
'What do you mean she deserved it?' Robin thought to himself 'She betrayed the whole team!'
With that thought Robin got up and shook his head. He was an idiot letting a girl with a devil-knows-what kind of past into the Teen Titans.
'Admit it Robin, she was always like this, she was always evil.' Robin winced at his own thoughts. He winced at the word 'evil'
He got up and set everything that happened in the last few months. Funny how when Manzanilla came everything started falling apart. Probably just a coincidence. After all, Manzanilla was a great fighter, she wouldn't do anything like get rid of Raven on purpose . . . right?
~*~ Living room of the tower 8:00 A.M~*~
Beast boy sat at the table, playing with his food when he looked at how Manzanilla was tapping her foot.
"What?" he asked
"Don't you want to go with Starfire and Cyborg to the mall?" she said
"Not really," beast boy answered "It's really boring."
"Then, go to the movies." Manzanilla said
"No." he said
"Why?"
"Because I don't feel like it."
Manzanilla thought for a second and smiled.
"What if I told you can talk to Raven again," she said
"What! How?" he yelled
"No questions can be asked, now leave and I will let you see her some other time, but not today." She said
Beast boy really wanted to see Raven again and decided he'll go. He would investigate Manzanilla later.
And he got up from his stool and left.
"He's such an idiot," Manzanilla said to herself
She took out her mirror, said the magic words and waited.
"What is it?" came a voice from the mirror.
But it wasn't Slade.
"Hey, how's my little Shade?" she asked
"*Chuckles* The boss is going to be happy when I tell him how much information I got from Raven." said Shade
"Sounds like you and her are 'friends' now." Said Manzanilla
"Yea, but I don't think she really trusts me yet."
"Well, there's some bad news. Apparently these morons I'm stuck with miss her. We have to make them hate her. You know, make them see her evil side."
"I think I can talk to the mistress," Shade said while rubbing his chin.
"Oh, one last thing, cuddle up to Raven, the leader has feelings for her, and I want him to see how she's 'moved on'."
"I'll do that, what time shall I perform the deed?" he asked
"Try 2:00 in three days for the evil task and 7:00 in five days when you show Raven how nice you are." She said
"Perfect." ~*~ 9:00 P.M.at the H.I.V.E~*~
Raven was walking through the halls in her uniform. She was tired and she felt drained.
'Eight exams in one day. What are they trying to do?' she thought to herself.
She climbed the endless steps to the girl dormitories and just sat there waiting for Marigold to come up. Most of the girls were already in their beds because Raven had to stay behind and help Professor Merrick with the necromancy tools.
"Hello, Raven." Came a voice
"Good, you're here; I was waiting for a while." Raven said
"But you just came up one minute ago." said Marigold.
Raven shrugged her shoulders and sat next to Marigold. They thought of a few plans but none that would really get them out.
~*~ 3 hours later~*~
"We're not going to finish tonight, Raven" Marigold stated.
"I know, oh well, tomorrow night then."
"I guess, but Raven,"
"What?"
"Can you be my friend?"
"I'm sorry Marigold, but I have no friends. The acquaintances that I make here are nothing but acquaintances, nothing else." Raven said coldly.
And with that said Raven levitated herself to bed.
'Wait a minute, where's my amulet?'
~*~Dream~*~ Raven sat on a cold rock near the sea, waves splashed her ankles while someone ran bony fingers through her hair
"Hello, my little child." It said in an evil voice
Raven felt a knife cutting at her neck, next thing she knew was a lot of screaming, and screaming, and screaming.
~*~ Morning at the H.I.V.E~*~
"MORNING SLEEPYHEAD!"
Raven jumped out of bed and stared wide-eyed at a laughing Sigrid.
"*Laughs* Your *laughs* face *laughs* looks soooooo* laughs* funny!*More laughs*" Sigrid stated.
"Did I mention I hate you?" Raven said She got up and dressed herself, she'll shower later. Her first class was necromancy, her favorite. She took her books and left.
~*~ Necromancy~*~
"Good Morning class"
"Good Morning Professor Merrick" said the class in unison
"Today's lesson shall be about bringing back the dead. Who here has lost someone?"
A few people raised their hands, Raven included.
"Well, we could use necromancy to bring them back by using this little object."
Prof. Merrick took out a small little bell.
"Does anyone know what this is used for?"
No hands were raised.
"Well, this little bell can bring us into the Spirit world and if you don't use it correctly, who knows?"
Nobody raised their hands.
"You get stuck in the realm of spirits."
~*~ At dinner~*~
Raven sat alone, Sigrid said Raven wasn't popular enough to be hung out with. Raven didn't care, she never cared.
"Hey, why the long face?" said a voice.
It was Shade.
"Hello" Raven said as she played with her food.
"So why are you sad?"
"Because I should have never come here."
"But at least you're happier, right?"
"Actually, I feel the exact opposite of that question."
"Well why don't we go for a walk, say Monday at 7:00?"
Raven raised an eye brow.
"Ok, sounds like a good plan."
After dinner, Raven sat in her chair. She couldn't sleep. Where is my amulet? Where could it be? That was my mother's. The last remnant of my mother. My protection from fear. What happened to me?
Raven decided to keep her mind off that and wrote a poem
BLACK BIRD
I fly free,
I fly alone,
Until I need assistance,
Alone I shall roam,
I need no one,
I need no emotions,
I remain impassive,
I remain how I wish,
I don't need a team,
I prefer being alone
So alone I shall be.
Raven sighed. Where did that come from?
~*~ 3 hours later~*~
Raven's eyes were drooping, they finally closed.
~*~ DREAM~*~ "Back again!" came an inhuman voice.
Raven looked at herself. She was covered in blood, her blood.
Skeletal and demonic figures appeared and started to burn her skin, she could actually feel it.
~*~ End Dream~*~
