Chapter 3: The Book
When the Titans woke up they looked around for Raven but she was not there. They only saw Topanga sitting wide-awake waiting for the Titans to notice Raven was gone. "You think we should ask Topanga where Raven is?" BB asked Robin who looked puzzled at what they should do, "You can try, but it's doubtful she'll understand. So BB walked over to Topanga and sat down in front of her. "Do-You-Know-Where-Raven-Is?" trying to ask slowly praying she might understand. "Of course I know where she is, I'm not stupid." (From now on whatever Topanga says the Titans can understand) Beat Boy sat and stared in amazement, "I thought you couldn't speak English!" "I couldn't until this morning." "How?" Robin asked. "Raven told me that English was our language backwards so I wrote all the words I could think of, and sentences, in the dirt then spelled them backwards and taught myself English." "That's extremely impressive Topanga!" Starfire told Topanga. "So…" Cyborg asked, "Where's Raven?" "Oh she went on a walk, but she said she would be back later."
As Raven reached the bottom of the hill at about 6:00am (She could tell by where the sun was because it was just now rising). Raven started to walk up the hill remembering the way her mother held her hand when they would walk up the hill together. When Raven reached the top of the hill she spotted the rock her mother and her sat on to read "Aipotu" from dawn until dusk, reading it everyday and reading it over and over as she grew up. She practically knew the book by heart. Raven looked under the boulder to find her favorite book, "Aipotu". Her mother was right, it was under the rock. Now she finally believed everything that was going on. She climbed on the rock and began to read "Aipotu" by herself and wished she was living in Aipotu where everything was perfect and the Good Guy always beat the Bad Guy, but she wasn't. She had lost one of the only people she ever loved and was open to. Everything in her life was turning upside-down. Her mother died, her father was a psycho murderer, and now she has a sister she never knew about until just yesterday.
It was about 7:00pm when Raven finally returned to the "camp" and everyone looked worried. "Where have you been?" Robin asked her when she got into talking range. "I already told you, she went on a walk." Topanga said to Robin. "Wait, I thought you couldn't speak English?" Raven asked Topanga surprisingly. "I taught it to myself." Topanga answered impressed with herself. "Oh…Topanga, I got you something." "What is it!" "It's a book called Aipotu." "That's, uh…great." She said like she was disappointed. "What's wrong with it? Is it too dirty? Or what?" "No it's not that it's just that…isn't that mom's book?" "Yes, that's why I'm giving it to you." "Why don't you keep it? It'll remind you of mom. You can read it to me though." "Thanks, it's good to have something to remind me of her." "I know." As Raven sat on a rock Topanga looked at her in envy. "If you only knew how lucky you are." She said to herself, "You knew mom your whole life. I only knew her for a very short time, and yet you probably feel the most pain."
The next morning as everyone woke up there was a huge explosion that came from the mountains that shook the ground like a leaf in a hurricane. "What was that?" Cyborg asked. "It must have been the minion warriors of the Destroyer." Topanga answered. "Who's the Destroyer?" BB asked. "It's the guy who destroyed Azerath…That's the way I know him. Nobody knows his real name." "Oh." BB answered in confusion.
Then Raven when over to a small rock, perfect for sitting, and read the last sentence of "Aipotu". The sentence most tales end in: And they lived Happily Ever After. As she closed the book she thought if this…horrible life could ever end with Happily Ever After.
