I keep having new ideas for stories and I use my time on the bus in the mornings to come up with plot lines. Hey, what else am I supposed to do? Its to dark to read and people are to loud to sleep. So it's the perfect time to think about new stories. Oh for those of you who didn't already figure this out, this story is set BEFORE Raven joins the titans.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans and I don't want to, I would rather write on Fanfiction.

Chapter 1: A midnight raven

The raven's wings beat loudly in the silence of the night. The full moon reflected off of its sleek black body. As it flew it cast an eerie shadow on the ground below. If flew over a large T shaped tower and the caped boy on the roof watched it as it flew off into the night.

It flew deep into to the woods and landed without a sound on the burnt ruins of, what used to be, a small wood hut. Its eyes scanned for any sign of movement. It let out a call, but not one of a normal raven. Its call was long and sad, like the last note in a tragic song. It was answered by a similar whistle from somewhere among the burnt ruins.

The pile shifted and a small girl emerged. The girl wore a long, flowing, blue cloak that hid her hair and face. The raven hoped to the girl and flew to her shoulder.

"Oh, Anol" she whispered. Beneath the cloak you could tell she was crying. "They killed her, they killed Arela. What were they doing? Who are they? Why did they want me?" she asked the raven.

She stared at the ruin. "We have to leave, in case they come back. But we have nowhere else to go. Why did we ever have to come here in the first place?" She turned and began to walk towards the woods "I told her, I told her we should have stayed on Azarath". Then she walked into the dense trees and disappeared in the shadows.

Ok , I have the next few chapters already written out but I wanted to see how people liked it first. So if I get enough reviews I will put up the next chapter soon.

So please review. Remember the faster you review the faster I will put up the next chapter. Flames accepted.
