Raven's room

Raven woke up screaming. Sweat covered her face and her heart beat was really fast. She had a vision in a vision. She saw her birthday being ruined by Slade and her friends shocked by the sudden arrival of him. However, one phrase scared her the most: It has begun. Had it been just a dream...or was she forseeing the future. She sat by her bed silently. She carefully checked the calender. It was the day of her birthday. Today would be the day when, Trigon will get what he wants: destruction of the mortal world. She couldn't allow it. It was too much.

Thoughts were rushing in her head when there was a knock. Regretfully, she opened the door to see arrows pointing...to the headquarters. She knew what this meant. She would have to ruin the party and bring bad news to her friends. It was the only way. It wouldn't help much when trying to save the world, but she would do it anyway. She followed the arrows and opened the door...

Titans: SURPRISE!

BB: hey, birthday girl! You didn't really think that we'd forget your birthday, huh?

Starfire: We would never do such a thing. Come and join us as we eat the cake of birthday!

Cyborg: It's my special eight-layer cake! And it has your name on it!

BB: Come on, Rae. You know you want it?

Robin: Yeah, come on. Have some fun. You must be full of stress from Sla...

Beastboy hit Robin in the stomach. There was silence for a few seconds. Raven just stared into space. Finally, Raven spoke.

Raven: Listen, I have to tell you something...

BB: Whatever it is, it's ok. We'll forgive you cuz it's your special day.

Raven: You don't understand. Sl...

Cyborg: of course we understand. It's ok if you want to pin BB first in "Pin the Beastboy."

Raven: but...

Robin: whatever you have to say, tell us later. For now relax. Have some fun. It's not the end of the world or anything, right?

You don't know how wrong you are. The end of the world will happen. Today. Not next year, not ten years from now. Today. Raven thought.

Starfire: please friend? will you join us in this day of feasting and birth?

Raven: I...

Cyborg: It's okay. I have my famous eight-layer cake! Nothing can go wrong when you have some of this.

Raven: SHUT UP!

silence

Raven: I'm just going to say one thing. Slade is coming today, and he's going to bring down the mortal world. Hell will be on the loose, and it's going to happen today. Today!

Robin: Bu...

Raven: Trust me. I had a vision he will come...and there isn't anything we can do about it.

BB: Rae...we didn't know...

Raven: my birthday isn't anything to celebrate about. It should actually be a time for mourning and sobbing. Earth will fall...just like Azarath...

Cyborg: Come on Raven. Think on the bright side.

Raven: give me one reason I should be happy.

Starfire: Friend, for one thing, you are our fri...

One of the windows crashed. A fiery figure stepped out of the shard of glass. He stared at Raven and walked toward her saying...

"You might have tried to stop this from happening, but you can't do anything about it. I have a message for you. It is this: It has begun."

All Raven could think was I told them. I told them this would happen. They took it lightly. Now they're all going to die. This darkness will consume all of the mortal world along with them. We're all going to die.
