Every thing was dark. Slowly, red swirled in with the black. Terra was still, she could hear Raven laughing quietly. Steadily the sound grew louder. The red swirls became four glowing red eyes. Terra fell to the ground, hugging her knees to her chest. Once again she was forced to wonder if Raven truly was her friend. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to force thought out. A feeling of calm fell over her. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open.

She was lying in her room. It took awhile to realize she had been dreaming. BB sat beside her.
"You ok?" he asked, sounding a bit nervous.
"Yeah, just a bad dream."

Raven sat on her bed, head resting on A'lain's shoulder. Rochwen sat next to him, skimming through one of Raven's books. A'lain had his head in his hands and his eyes were closed. He concentrated on the sound of Raven breathing. Wishing he could do more, he just sat and strained his ears for any variation. Suddenly, Raven inhaled sharply. His head snapped up and he grabbed her shoulders. Rochwen slammed the book shut and turned. She just looked back at them, her eyes slowly moving from one to the other. Her gaze fell on A'lain.
"What's the matter?" she asked, sounding innocently confused.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
"You gasped. I...who are you?" She looked a bit shocked at this.
"Raven..."
"So another emotion didn't take over?" She shook her head slowly, never taking her eyes off his. Such calm, innocent, deep eyes. He felt her looking into him. He had felt it before, her power allowed her to look at him and see more, and he could look right back and see into her. He knew something wasn't right. This was another emotion, he could see the real Raven trapped in her mind. He opened his mouth to tell Rochwen, who was staring curiously over his shoulder. The words were just beginning to form when he realized what emotion this was. Behind her eyes, he more felt her thoughts than saw them. He was over-come with such a feeling of love. It felt like he was wrapped in warmth. Those glassy amythest eyes weren't only showing Raven's feelings, they were reflecting his own. He reached out and touched Raven's face. She leaned into his hand. Suddenly, he remembered who he was. He couldn't allow those eyes to read his soal anymore. He closed his eyes, dropped his hand and looked away. When he looked up again, Raven still sat in front of him, now wearing a pale purple cloak.
"Love," he whispered, and she smiled slightly, nodding. Behind him, he could hear Rochwen notching an arrow and drawing her bow.
"Please," Love whispered, holding up her hand. Rochwen lowered the bow and her hand fell to A'lain's. "I am not trying to take over as the others are. I just want you to know what Raven cannot bring herself to say. You had no reason to look away. I know what you are. I know everything you have done, everyone you have been, and I still love you with everything I am. Don't think there is anything you have to hide from me. In spite of everything, I know who you are inside, and I know you love me, and that more than anything I love you back." She leaned forward and kissed him. Placing a hand on his face, she fell backward onto the bed, cloak rippling back to its original color. When the real Raven sat up, there were tears in her eyes. She fell into A'lain's waiting arms.
"I know, my sweet bird, I know. I've always known," he whispered, stroking her hair. Smiling, Rochwen stood and tip-toed out of the room.

Robin stared into his own eyes in the mirror, mask in his hand, as he had done so many times before. He thought about the same two people he always thought about. Loving one, hating the other. How could she have looked at him like that? Like he was a stranger. He had acted the same, but his mind had been racing. If he hadn't been wearing the mask, she would have known he recognized her. It had hidden that. But her eyes had showed nothing, no trace of recognition. Surely she hadn't forgotten him. His thoughts were interrupted bya soft knock at the door. He replaced the mask and stood. Opening the door, he was relieved to be looking into Starfire's soft green eyes.
"Is friend Raven unharmed? I did not realize what was happening, I simply thought..." her voice fell away and her eyes dropped to the ground.
"She's fine Star."
"Oh! Wonderful! That is all I wished to know, many thanks Robin!" She turned and floated down the hallway, humming quietly to herself. He had to smile as he closed the door.

"Are you sure you're alright?" BB asked, looking worridly(word?) at Terra. "You were sweating a lot and kinda twitching." She sighed and looked down at her knees.
"Why did Raven attack me? I mean,I know that the crystals were important and everything, but I don't think I've ever seen her that mad."
"Her emotions are fighting for control. Anger took over. Anything would have made her mad."
"She's my best friend in the world, how could she have that much anger stored up against me? Or am not as much to her as she is to me?"
"Terra, you know how much she treasures you. You should have seen her, when she was trying to save you, when I tried to stop her. She cares about you a lot. She told me, you were the only one that listened to her." Terra closed her eyes. She had heard that, she had been awake. How could she let herself forget?
"Thanks Beast Boy," she whispered, thowing her arms around his neck.

Robin had resumed his staring at the mirror when his door was knocked on again. Not quiet and shy this time, but confident, as though the visitor had come with a purpose. He quickly replaced his mask and hurried to the door. He immediatly wished he could close it again. That haunting face. The dancing brown eyes, hair that every time she moved fell perfectly. The taunting, always victorius smile. The pale, perfect skin. Unforgetable delicate pointy ears. He tried to look away, but those sparkling eyes held him.
"Hello Robin," Rochwen smiled.

cliff-hanger! some questions for you to ponder: how does Rochwen know Robin? Why is Robin afraid of her? Why doesn't he like her? Will Raven ever regain control of her emotions? What emotion will appear next? What is A'lain's mysterious, terrible past?
all wonderful question! i guess i should try and figure out some answers before i write the next chapter...
