Raven's POV
I lay in my bad, listening as the howling wind creeps against my large window pane. I hear the waves as they crash against the rocks in the middle of the ocean. My blue satin comforter is welcoming to my cold skin as my open window send warm refreshing wind towards my bed in an attempt to heaten my cold pale flesh. My hair whips around my face like tiny whips beating my tender skin. Cold sweat pours down my face due from a nightmare that I've had everyday since my 18th birthday. I get up from my bed to reveal wet sheets, my pajamas stick to me like they were glued on. I slowly step towards my balcony and I glance at my clock. "Only 2:30" I say as I lean on the rail that's blocking me from the opening of the ocean and the earth. I close my eyes as I let the air blow my hair and skin, it's very refreshing and calming, and soothing. I sigh as I think about my dream, my dream recalls my future, my destiny, my past, my present, my fate. I cannot think about ever harming my friends, they're too important to me. Cyborg, that's my big brother. Beastboy, he's actually quite funny, well he's been getting funnier, Starfire she's the only girl that I can talk to because..well..she's different too, and Robin, well Robin and me share a bond, he knows me like no one else in the tower does, I'm actually happy that it's him. He's actually cute, but how is that going to help us? I hear something behind me, I brace my self as I turn briskly to face the enemy, surprisingly, it's Robin, in pants and…shirtless, I wonder, is he feeling alright? And I look closely, it's very hard to see in my dark room. His mask, it's not on, and I see, for the very first time, what looks to be very very gray eyes. His eyes are blue, and so beautiful, almost as if they are cold and dark, and yet it holds so much emotion in them, like someone who's been through too much to still be a teenager.
"Robin, what's wrong, are you okay?" I ask in my monotone voice. He steps onto the balcony where I am and leans against it.
"I was going to ask you the same thing" he says as he stare at me seriously and intensely. He actually looked scary for a miniscule of a second.
"What are you talking about Boy Blunder?" I ask as I cross my arms as I stare at him quizzically.
"Raven, I've been holding this back for too long. I know that there's something you're not telling us, telling me, and I want to know what, and why" he says as his eyes suddenly takes a softer tone of grey and he actually looks concerned, for me.
"I'm not holding back anything Robin, now if you don't mind, will you please leave so that I can go back to bed" I say as I try to drop the conversation before we both do anything we will regret in the future. I turn to leave the balcony, but I feel strong hands grab my arm and turn me back around.
"Raven what is wrong with you! I'm trying to help you, we all are, I love you Rae, I don't know what it'll be like without you here, we need you, we all do, I do, and if we lose you, no one could ever replace you Raven, please let me help you," he says as he unexpectedly pulls me into a hug. I don't know what to do, I'm speechless, I slowly and hestitantly hug him back, and I feel his cheeks on my collar bone. I feel something wet and warm on my skin and I look down, and he's crying.
I
know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion
from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love
falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
Listen
to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your
heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where
you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your
heart
before you tell him goodbye.
"Robin, you didn't come down here to talk about this, did you?" I ask as I pull away from him. I see him look down for a moment and shake his head.
"No, the real reason that I came here, is because..is because, Alfred, my butler, well my old butler, he died, yesterday" he say as he pauses for a moment to stop the tears from falling. I quickly pull him into another hug without thinking, and I sit the both of us on the concrete of the balcony. He grabs my waist and clings to it for dear life and cries in my lap.
"Please don't tell Star, I don't want her to worry, you know how she can be" he says through tears. I hear him chuckle softly through his ever flowing tears, for a moment, I feel sympathetic towards the Boy Wonder.
"I won't, I promise" is all that I can say as he look out over the balcony, and I lean my head on the cool rail that welcomes the softness of my hair, and the warmth of my skin, and unexpectedly, we both fall asleep, listening to the cool breeze, and the thundering ocean, and for the first time in years, I don't have any nightmares.
Sometimes
you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are
all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what
is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
And
there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but
you can't find the words.
The scent of magic, the beauty that's
been
when love was wilder than the wind.
And when I, Raven wake up in a dark cave surrounded by the League, I see that it was just a dream.And that Robin is really gone, and I'm scared for his life, as he is for mine……
Ok so R&R, this story is getting so tense! I hope I can write action scenes so pray for me!
