A light in the Dark

Raven walked into the kitchen of the T Tower she sat down sighed. Yet another stupid day ready to torment me. I hate the sun it's just too bright...like Star's attitude.... Raven thought to herself. She had woken up feeling tired, she hadn't gotten much sleep. She had woken up 2 times. The second time was in the middle of a nightmare. She just couldn't get over it.

I can't believe I'm freaking out over a nightmare...even if it WAS a nightmare that left me sweating and freaked out... But I don't get scared! Or at least I try not too... Raven thought as she put her head in her hands and sighed....

Raven replayed her dream in her head over and over. It was so dark I couldn't see my powers wouldn't help me. I was all alone. I've never felt really alone before until now. Someone was after me.... I can't remember who...Trigon! That was it! I was running not knowing where I was headed.

I kept running. Then I tripped and tried to use my hand to break my fall it worked but I sprained my hand. I all felt so real, like it had actually happened. Raven thought while she rubbed her wrist. It all seemed too real. But I got up and kept running. I started to run out of breath. I didn't have too much stamina since I fly most of the time. I ran for what seemed like forever just trying to get out of Trigon's reach.

I then stumbled upon something. It felt like a door. I tried to find the handle but there wasn't one. I then tried to use my power's but they still wouldn't work. I stood banging on the door. Then felt Trigon getting closer so I ran not knowing if I was getting farther or closer to the exit of the tunnel.

I then felt a sharp pain in my back. I yelled as I fell to the ground. Trigon had hit me. I was lying on the ground panting and I had a twist of emotions within me. Fear, Hate, Pain, Anger, and Torment.

I felt like I was dying. Then out of nowhere came a light. I shielded my eyes at first because it was so bright and was a big change from the darkness that surrounded me. I looked up at Trigon who seemed entranced by the light but also afraid of it. Then I felt a pain deep inside of me.

I fell to the ground screaming. It just hurt so much; I had never endured that type of pain before. I was now really freaked out. When I finally found the strength to stand I saw that all around me were dead bodies. I screamed. I backed up and stepped on one .It was my mother. I screamed again.

Then I fell to the ground and huddled into a ball trying not to look at what was around me. I desperately tried to wake up but it didn't work. So I sat there for a while, with the pain still in my chest. This dream... it can't be real though...can it? But then the dream ended because I woke up.

And now here I am sitting here waiting for breakfast. Raven finished the thought she was at as she got up and walked over to the fridge.

She grabbed a drink of some sort then sat down on the couch. "Friend Raven. Does something trouble you?" Star's voice echoed through Raven's head.

All of the sudden Raven felt dizzy she swayed and then fell to the ground with a 'thump' Starfire screamed and the other Titans came rushing over.

Cyborg felt for a pulse. There was one and thankfully she was breathing.

"Once she wakes up she's probably going to want to rest for a few days. No more fighting for a while. Someone needs to carry her up to her room." Cyborg said as he got up off the ground.

"I'll get her." Robin said as he picked up Raven and started to walk towards her room. They got to Raven's room pretty quickly.

Robin walked over to Raven's bed and gently set her down. He then walked out and closed the door, leaving Raven to herself.

About an hour later Raven woke up with a bad headache. Star walked into the room. "Friend Raven! You are okay!" Starfire said as she ran up to raven and hugged her. "Yeah, Starfire I'm fine." Raven replied as she fell back against her pillow. "You must be tired. I will leave you alone for a while." Star said as she floated out of the room.

"Thanks." Raven said. Raven walked out of her room and headed towards the bathroom. She entered it and looked in a cabinet and got out a bottle of IB Profen. She took some (for the headache) and headed back to her room.

She walked over to her closet and opened it. I really need to get out more. Raven thought as she searched through her closet trying to find something other than her uniform. All she found were her pajamas.

That's no help. Raven thought. Maybe I need some fresh air. I'll walk to the mall so I can get something other than my uniform to wear.... Raven thought as she walked over to her bedside table. She pulled out a wad of money and stuffed into a pocket on the inside of her cloak.

She floated downstairs. "Hey where are you going?" BB asked. "I'm going for a walk. Not that you would know what that is." She replied in her usual monotone voice. "Hey! I resent that!" BB yelled back. "I think she's pretty much back to normal." Robin said as he turned back to the TV.

Raven flew over the lake surrounding The T Tower. She landed on the other side and started walking. At first she walked slow but then she sped up as she tried to avoid the stares she was getting. I'll just fly. Raven thought as she lifted up into the air. She quickly reached the mall.

She landed by the front and walked in. There was noise everywhere. She smelled the big pretzels and couldn't help but to get one. She walked away eating her pretzel as she tried to find the Hot Topic.

She found a map, located Hot Topic, and took her time getting there. She reached it shortly. And walked into the darkness. Finally not as much noise. And actually some good stuff. Raven thought as she looked through the racks of clothes. She found some pants and some shirts (One an LotR shirt (SNAITF) ). She walked into the dressing room and tried everything on. It all fit.

She then walked over to the chains and stuff. She picked out some belts and chains. Then found some arm warmers. She then started thinking to herself. Not paying attention to where she was going she bumped into someone. Raven dropped her stuff. The other person bent down to help Raven pick it up.

"Oh! Sorry!" The other person said. She was a girl. Most likely a teenager. With wavy black hair that went to about her waist (like mokuren's hair from 'Please Save My Earth'...only black). "That's ok. It was my fault I wasn't paying attention." Raven said. "No, I wasn't paying attention." The girl said, "By the way my name's Ren. What's yours?" The girl said. "Raven." Said Raven. "Oh, you're a part of the Teen Titans aren't you? I always wanted to be a Teen Titan. But that's never going to happen now is it?" Ren said with a slight smile. Raven and Ren checked out and then walked out of the store.

"Hey! Let me get you a coke or something! It's the least I could do for making you drop your stuff!" Ren said as Raven agreed.

They got their drinks and sat down at a table in the food court. They started talking and Raven really grew to like Ren as someone to talk to. They got so into their conversation that they didn't notice the thief that just stole their stuff.

Someone yelled as he pulled out a gun. "I've got it." Raven said. "No that's ok I'll get him." Ren said leaving Rae confused. Ren's eyes went white as she put her hand out and some unseen force knocked the guy to the ground as it pushed Ren back a few steps. Someone screamed. Ren blew the hair out of her face as she walked up to the guy and grabbed her and Raven's stuff then went back to sit with Raven.

"Sorry about that!" Ren said with a smile. "How did you do that?" Raven mused. "Well I've always been able to do that. I can only do it when I'm mad or scared though." Ren replied. "So, where are you from?" Raven asked Ren. "Azarath." Ren replied simply. "Really? That's where I came from!!!" Raven said excitedly. "Hey, nothing blew up..." "Does something normally blow up?" Ren asked. "Yeah, whenever I have a strong emotion." Raven replied. "Oh." Ren said. "I had this weird dream last night. It felt so real. I actually thought it was real until I woke up." Raven said. "Hey! Me too!" Ren replied. "Really?" Raven said while getting more interested still In the conversation.

"Yeah, It was about Trigon and this light. It came out of nowhere in this pitch-black place. But then whenever the light shown there were dead bodies everywhere. I even stepped on one. That really creeped me out." Ren finished.

"That's the exact same dream I had." Raven said. "Now that's weird." Ren said as she pushed her hair back out of her face. "Maybe there's some connection between us because we're both from Azarath." Raven said as she thought to herself about the possibilities. "Oh crap!" Ren said as she looked down at her watch. "I've got to go! Maybe we could meet up again sometime! Here's my address!" Ren said as she wrote her address down on a piece of paper and handed it to Raven.

Ren picked up her Hot Topic bags and her backpack and ran out of the mall while waving at Raven.

Raven got up and picked up her bags and put the note that had Ren's address on it into her cloak. Raven walked out of the mall and started on her route back to the Titans Tower.
