Searching for the Answer

Back at the Titans Tower, Robin went down to researching the ghouls as Star joined him, Beastboy played with Cyborg on the Gamestation, and Raven immediately went into her room. She floated over to her dark, old, bookshelf. She pulled out a really old, big, black book and sat down on the floor in Indian style.

She looked at the book as she opened it and flipped the pages. As she flipped and flipped, she stopped on one page that said at the top in bold letters, "The Portal to the Dream Dimension." 'Here it is.' She thought as she examined the paragraph for any way to get there. 'There's no way there. How can that be?' she thought as she flipped the page and examined more.

'Nothing, great.' She thought as she closed the book and put it in the bookcase. 'Tells nothing but what the dream dimension is like or what it is.' She thought as she lay on her comfy bed and rested her head against her purple pillow. "There's no way to finding the answers now." She said to herself aloud as she sighed.

A knock was heard on her door as she jolted up and pulled up her hood. She walked over and opened the door slightly. Star stood before with a big smile as her emerald eyes shined with joy. "Friend Raven, do you want to participate in the painting of the nails?" she asked hopefully. "Sorry, Star, I had a long day and I want to take a day off." She said with no emotion. "Okay, have a nice dream!" Star said cheerfully as she flew away and towards her biggest crush.

Her violet eye widened at the statement. "Have a nice dream." She said as she closed her door and walked over to the center. "That's how I'll talk to the ghost girl." She said as she stopped and looked at the bed. "It's time to find the answers." She said as she drifted off to sleep with her eyes slowly closed.

In the dream dimension again, Raven appeared out of the bright light and into the darkness. The light subsided as Raven looked around to find the ghost girl. She continued to look around until she heard a girl's eerie laughing. "My, my." The girl said as she appeared in her usual attire, her long, white nightgown.

"What brings you here to my lair, little Raven?" she questioned as she giggled. Raven growled at her, "Don't EVER call me that." She smirked at her rage. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The girl said as Raven's eyes turned red. Raven quickly covered them up as the girl continued to laugh. "I know your rage problem, I know everything that you know, even your past." She said as a silver throne appeared and she sat on it.

"What do you want?" Raven asked as the girl put her arms against the armrest. "Nothing, but to see you and these puny humans suffer like I did." She said as she leaned back. "You want us to suffer for what?" she questioned as she stepped up. "Like I tell you." She said as Raven got annoyed and leaped to her. The girl smirked as her throne and she turned invisible. Raven landed on the ground as she appeared sitting on her throne.

"Don't you see? I control this dimension and you can't stop me." She replied as Raven stood up and stepped in front of her. "How did you come into my world? Why?" she asked impatiently as the girl lowered down. "You really want to know, fine. I didn't appeared in your world and I have no reason to." She said with no emotion.

"You didn't appear in our world? I saw you saved citizens and stopped the ghouls and you're telling me you didn't appear!" Raven yelled at her. "You said that you have no reason to appear! What was that stuff you said about making the humans suffer? Well?" she shouted as the girl made no move and had a frown on her face.

"Like I said, I didn't go to your world and I didn't want to save your people in the first place!" she yelled at Raven angrily. "Why are you trying to make people suffer for? Tell Me!" Raven yelled back. "Two words." She said as she held up two fingers. "Sally Hawkins." She said as she disappeared into the darkness with Raven disappeared into the light.

She sat up as she quickly got up and fixed herself up. She put on a cloak and walked out into the living room. She saw Beastboy and Cyborg fighting over the controller, Star reading a Cosmos magazine, and Robin thinking hard. She walked over to front door as he looked away to Raven. "Hey, Raven." He greeted her as she said a small 'hi'. "Where are you going?" he asked. She stopped as she said, "Out." She walked out.

She flew over to the public library and walked inside to a quiet atmosphere. She looked around to see kids reading books as the women were reading romance novels. She looked disgusted as she turned her attention to the computers. She walked towards one and sat down as she started to type. She typed in the name that girl said and clicked on the mouse. Her eyes widened as she clicked on print.

In the living of the Titans Tower, Star, Cyborg, and Robin were munching on a pepperoni pizza as Beastboy was eating on a veggie pizza. "Where's friend Raven?" Star asked as she stopped eating. "She went out somewhere." Robin said as they continued eating.

"Didn't you have the answers to the ghoul problems yet?" Beastboy asked as he patted his stomach. "No, my technology couldn't find an answer to the ghoul problem or where they came from?" Cyborg said as he ate his big slice of pizza. "What about the sickly pale girl?" Star asked.

"Nothing, I couldn't even find out what her name was." He said as he shook his head. "We'll worry about the girl later. The question is how these ghouls appear, what they want, and who's sending them." Robin said as he finished his slice. "Then, who knows this mess?" Beastboy asked as he put his arm on the table. "I know." Raven said as she appeared out of the darkness. Beastboy shrieked and jumped behind Cyborg. "There's more to her than meets the eye." She said as she walked up to the table.
