In room 491 at the Golden Tree inn in Sacrament she slept. Restlessly, and uneasily she slept without a dream for a few hours. Then she started to dream.

She saw them. All of them. But there was something wrong. Someone was missing from the picture.

What it was she saw because she started to dream another dream. Not so much of a dream as a calling.

Everything was white. Raven stood in the middle of the room. No color at all. Suddenly, a light came from above. She looked up. The light faded away. Raven shifted her gaze to what had appeared in front of her. Arella.

"Raven, my daughter, you must go back."

"Why?"

"Because that is where you are meant to be. Titans Tower is where you belong. Things will fall apart if leave for long. If you remove a single thread from a tapestry, the whole picture that it is meant to portray will wither into nothing."

"But, Mom, They don't need me. All that I can do is bring pain and suffering to anyone that is near to me. And all they do is bring sdness to my heart."

"But they do need you. It is because of you that the Titans are still living." she walked over and wraped her arm around Ravens shoulders,"Let me show you."

Arella swept her hand in front of them and a picture appeared. It was the main hall of Titans Tower.

"Go. Step forward and see what is to happen if you leave them for good as you plan."

With a look at her mother, Raven stepped nto the picture and walked down the hall.

…She was walking through the halls of Titans Tower. There was blood on the floor and walls. She saw Starfire in the entrance to the kitchen. She was not moving but Raven could hear the sound of her sobs.

"Starfire, what's wrong?" Raven inquired.

There was no answer. Raven sped up to see the cause of Starfires odd disposition. When she saw what lay in the other room, She was in shock. Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy were all lying on the floor, dead. She would not have thought it possible, but there it was, right before her eyes. She turned Starfire to face her.

"Starfire? Starfire! How did this happen?" Raven Asked, fighting back tears." What happened?"

"They were here. They got into the tower and…" Starfire stopped and sobbed into Ravens shoulder."They got into the tower and they killed Robin and Cyborg and Beast Boy."

"Who? Who killed them?"

"Slade, Terra, and Red X. They were here and they did all of this."

Raven looked into the living room. The bodies were all on the floor in a pile. But there was something that didn't fit. There was a little red light blinking rapidly underneath the couch.

Raven walked over to the couch while wiping away a tear. She reached under it and pulled out what was underneath the couch. She wished she hadn't. She flipped up the monitor to the laptop and saw the three of them. Slade spoke first.

"Very clever Raven, But you just made a huge mistake. You see you found the first of the string of bombs in the tower."

"You see, we planned to blow up the building when you found the first bomb, X and I. We expected it to be sooner though."Said the wicked little blonde snoot.

"Now,we finally get to blow you up. To bad though. Its a total waste of a chick." Red x said,"Buh Bye!"

Then she saw the tower from the outside. Peaceful day. Then, it all went red. The tower was gone. She felt the shock wave from the explosion. She felt the pain as well. But not the pain of dying, but the pain of her broken heart.

She sank to the floor of the white room and cried. She swiftly controled her emotions in fear of killing her mother again.

"Now you see how much you are needed.You have seen what would be if you keep going. What will you do now? Continue on and sufer this pain or go back and right your wrong?"

Raven looked up at her mother. She grinned like she always does with that mischievious look in her eyes.

Raven sat up in the hotel bed. Time to take the long drive back. She thought to herself. she got out of bed and dressed for the drive.

Well? What yo think?
