Disclaimer, for now and eternity: I (sadly) own Teen Titans….I never will…..

Archangel Ganzia – If I knew what ur other ones were about, I would, but I don't know those things so…I'm SO SORRY!

RavenDarkSorceress—No, I'm not finished, as you can see. Please don't go insane on me…and here….RECONGNITION!

Otakualways—Hmm…..that's a kewl idea…lets see how far I can get with this. I was thinking about having alternate endings neways, so ur suggestion just helps boost that. THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT (I almost cried, I swear)

DarkDeamon3—I have no idea what way I should go with. I'm kinda going with the flow. I guess we'll just have to see. DON'T CRY (cuz then I'll have to and I'll totally make my nose puffy and that's never good!)

Please forgive me, I'm horrible at battle scenes.

It seems weird writing about this now considering that I had a friend who attempted to commit suicide just recently. I'm currently waiting for more info on that, but its so weird. I wrote this before I knew, and…I dunno, it just seems really strange to me. Who knows?

What Drove Me to Madness

Chapter 2—A Haunting Voice

I think I should have realized that something was going to happen between us. Maybe I was trying to fool myself. Maybe I was trying to fool everyone else. Maybe I was afraid. No, I don't think that's it. And even if it is, I'm going to deny it until the day that I day. But that may be soon, so I'm just going to deny it. There are some things pride won't let through.

I can remember a lot of things, sitting here, where time has stopped. I remember when Starfire first came, when I first really met Cyborg, when I first had to deal with Beast Boy (oh lord), and, I remember my first everything with you. You were always special, always the one to stand out in the crowd. But you know me. I'm still in denial.

The shower was hot. Lucky me, she thought, I got it before Beast Boy could empty the water heater.

Raven hummed to herself as she finished rinsing off. Putting one foot out of the shower, she grabbed at towel and pulled it up to her neck before stepping out all the way.

"What!"

"OHMIGOD!"

"I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything! I'm sorry! I thought you were Beast Boy. I was only trying to brush my teeth, honestly! The towel was in the way, covering-whatever you want to call it." Robin had a hand over his eyes and was stumbling towards the door. "I'm going to go now. I'm sorry." With that, he hit the door, found the doorknob, and flung himself out into the hall.

Raven stood in front of the shower, towel still covering, her eyes wide and one hand over her mouth

…(TT)…

The flashing red light woke them all up. She scowled as she stormed into the hallway.

"What now?" Cy said, yawning. "I didn't even get in a proper 30 minutes of extra charge."

"And, please, why does most of the crime on The Earth happen during The Night?"

"That is a really good question," Raven said.

"Killer Moth, again, has decided to attack the city with his huge mutant moths. They're bigger this time." Robin stretched

"Man, where does he keep getting these things?" Beast Boy groaned.

"I don't know," Robin replied thoughtfully. "Anyway, Titans, let's go!"

Ten minutes and a yawn fest later, they arrived to see 10 gi-normous (A/N sp? I like this word)) moths hissing and ramming into things downtown.

"Titans, GO!"

Starfire tried to hit them with her powers, but that only seemed to fuel them. Cyborg tried to shoot them with his cannon, but that only seemed to tick them off. Beast Boy tried a couple different shapes, but none worked. Robin only succeeded in getting thrown off of three of them.

"Raven, do you think your power will work?" Robin yelled. He was about to ask again, when she didn't answer, when she raised into the air and said:

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Black magic flew from her fingers and hit one of the moths dead on. It screeched and fell to the ground. She picked up an empty (she hoped) bus and hurled it at another one. It rammed into the one behind it and they both tumbled as well.

She shook her head to clear it of fatigue and continued. One after another after another she took care of until she was down to the largest one.

"Just one more, Raven," Star called.

I'm tired, she wanted to say, but she kept her mouth shut. No one needed to know that. Once more, she thought.

"Azarath Zinthos Metrion!" The world went black.

(Dream Sequence)

"Raven? Do you think your power will work?"

"Yeah, we really need to bake this tofu cake!"

"I wasn't talking about a tofu cake. Beast Boy, go play Twister with Cy and Star."

"Okay."

"Raven, do you know that I need you? Why do you insist on making it so hard for me?"

Raven shook her head, confused. "I don't know what you're talking about, Robin."

"You have to make it so hard." He picked her up and sat her on his lap.

"What are you doing?" she asked, but no anger marked her voice.

He leaned forward. "Don't make this hard." He leaned closer, his lips hovering…

(End Dream Sequence)

Raven shot up in bed. The Titans sat around her. She wasn't in her room, she was in the Titan infirmary. "What happened?" she asked.

"You fell from the sky. I caught you, and Robin carried you home," said Starfire.

"He wouldn't even let us help him in the car," Cyborg said. He leaned in closer and whispered, "I think he felt responsible."

"Well I think he just likes Raven." Everyone glared at Beast Boy. "What? I'm not entitled to an opinion?"

"I'm right here, you know," said Robin. "You are okay, Raven, right?"

"I'm alright enough to get to my room and go to bed."

"But—"

(Present)

Later on Starfire would tell me how you refused to let me go. How you had cradled me in your arms. I refused to tell her about my dream, my dreams that I would have from then on. You were in almost every one, talking to me, telling me these things. My subconscious was screaming at me to pay attention. Could I have had you if I had listened then?

Am I in the ambulance now? I can feel something surging through my veins, and this dark cloud of Death in my mind doesn't like it. It growls and snarls and hisses at it, then turns to me and whines not to be alone. I don't want to be alone either. Are Death and I good companions then?

Where are you, my handsome Boy Blunder? Are you beside me, because I cannot tell. Did they not let you in? Or are you wrapped in Star's arms? You deserve life. I deserve death. But I can faintly hear my subconscious screaming. Should I listen to it this time?

Okey dokey, umm, so, I guess tell me what you think? It's not that great of a chapter. I dunno. I think I really suck at this, but then again, I'm really bored. So, I guess, please review.
