The Secret Past of Raven
By iluvgwtw
Ok. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while! I've been busy and kind of mind-blocked for ideas. So this chapter may not be the best yet. Sorry! Ok: to answer a few reviews:
DarkPheonix: Sorry, but Raven and Beast Boy won. Um...however, to make it up to you, you can still think of another character if you like. Let me know!
Rebecca: Don't worry, Raven and BB it is!
EnuiKouga: Thanks! I'm glad you like it! Keep reading!
Psychokinesis: um....I wasn't really asking the question.........so...yeah. But, okay. That does make sense though. Thanks for reviewing.
Larissa: I'll talk to you soon!
Chapter 4—The Journey Starts
Raven's mind was acting to its own accord. Whatever was inside it, was slowly taking control. While Raven became weaker and weaker.
Starfire: I am—afraid. What is happening to Raven? Is our friend all right?
Robin: It's ok. We'll be fine.
Raven: I'm fine. We need to get moving. I need to defeat this thing. And I need to get you out of here.
They cautiously started down the path again. They saw the crows circling over them. Starfire latched on to Robin's arm, as Raven stumbled along into Beast Boy.
BB: You need help?
Raven: I'm fine. (walks ahead)
BB: (hurries to catch up with her) You know, it's okay to admit when you need help.
Raven: I already did.
BB: When? I don't remember you saying something like that. Look, I'm your friend and I'm here to help. And I want to help you. Please.
Raven: Look. My emotions will get in the way. I can handle it. I am fine.
They walk through another archway and are in a meadow of flowers. (YEA! . HAPPINESS! Or so we think....) Raven and the group continue on the pathway, when a figure appears on the path ahead of them. Raven stops and holds out a hand to stop the rest of them.
Cyborg: (whispers) What is it?
Raven: I'm not sure. Stay here. I'll go see.
BB: You are in no condition to go alone. What if—he—she—it attacks you?!
Raven: I'll be FINE! Just leave me alone. (Walks towards the person) Who are you? What do you want?
Person: (silence)
Raven: Are you the person who's trying to take over?
Person: (silence)
Raven: What do you want from me? Why are you doing this?
Person: (looks up to reveal a woman, clad in black, and looking very much dead and sorrowful) I—want—YOU! (Lunges for Raven)
Raven: Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos! (Creates a shield that sends the woman flying. The woman stops in mid air and turns into a humongous crow that comes straight towards Raven)
Beast Boy turns into a pterodactyl and fights the crow, but the crow just disappears. He lands and Raven continues to walk, not saying anything.
Beast Boy: (to Cyborg) Not even a thank you?
Cyborg: Hey, chill. She's going through a hard time. Give her a break.
Robin: Maybe we should just keep going and—
Raven: You guys need to go ahead.
Starfire: What do you mean?
Raven: I mean you all go to the exit, and I stay here and fight whatever's here.
Beast Boy: You're joking right?
Cyborg: We're not going to leave you here!
Robin: You can't fight this thing alone.
Starfire: We are your friends. Friends stick together!
Raven: No. I need to fight this thing alone. It's between me and whatever's here.
Beast Boy: We're staying.
Cyborg: There's nothing you can say to make us change our minds.
Robin: Or anything you could do.
Starfire: We will stay with you! You are our friend! (hugs Raven)
Raven: (shivers at the emotions) Fine. I'll let you stay, but if something else happens that puts you in danger, you leave. Understand?
Everyone else: (nods)
