Chapter 2

"Don't tell me you have forgotten already? It is your wedding day today"

Raven went pale.

Raven was still getting over the initial shock as they ushered her into a big tub that was ready. She was stripped of her clothes and dumped in the warm water. The maids scurried in and they all began to work on her. Raven allowed them to wash her and dry her.

After they done her hair and put her into her gown. Breakfast was brought for her and she ate silently, her mind millions of miles away. Then she was fitted into her wedding dress, it was a white strapless dress with a slight blue tint, and embriodings upon it. It was the most magnificent dress Raven had seen and she admired it, yet she loathed it. This was all wrong, who were these people, why was she eight years old, why was she getting married and most importantly where was she and where were the other Titans? Raven stuggled against the maids,

"Please Princess Rachel, we know that you are upset about this, but the promise of your hand in marriage was absolute" the maid said. Raven stilled and then after they finished dressing her she was left alone in a room that surrendered no comfort. Raven sat uncomfortably on the bed, the huge gown made a small feat such as that very hard. She then lifted her hand and began to concentrate on a chair. Nothing happened.

Raven frowned and then tried again with the same out come. She tried teleporting, nothing. She tried everything and nothing happened. She then raised her hand and touched her forehead, it was chakra free. She walked towards the large mirror and stared at her reflection. She had long black hair that reached her waist, grey eyes and her grey skin tone was now a beautiful olive. She was now truly flawless, yet she still had that same monotone voice and expressionless face that remained traits of Raven. Otherwise physically Raven was gone. Her thoughts began to wonder to the Titans and she thought of them, what were they doing? Did they miss her? Where was she? But she was jerked out of her thoughts when the same woman that had bombarded into her room earlier appeared once again, yet this time she entered Raven's room with more grace, she seemed to float. She was dressed in a royal gown and had a crown upon her head, she was the queen. She looked at Raven and smiled, "Come along Rachel, we shall collect your tiara and then the ceremony begins. Raven silently followed the queen out of her room and down the long castle halls. Everything in the castle was old and beautiful, probably state of the art for them, but an antique for Raven.

When they entered a large room that had two guards outside, they opened the door for the queen and she glided into the beautiful room, Raven right behind her. There was an elderly woman sitting on a chair, she turned towards the two and smiled, "My Rachel you look beautiful my granddaughter"

Raven smiled at the older woman. "Well Aldroanna, may I have the tiara for my daughter"

"Yes certainly Elizabeth" Aldroanna passed a beautiful golden tiara, decorated with many diamonds, upon a cushion to Elizabeth. She picked up the tiara and placed it placidly upon Raven's head. Raven then admired it on her head through the mirror. It surely was beautiful and Raven immediately fell inlove with it. Elizabeth smiled at Raven and then nodded at Aldroanna and she left the room, Raven hot on her heels. When they entered through double doors there was a long staircase and Raven paused when she was stopped by one of the men. There was a call and then she heard, "Queen Elizabeth of Zathara" and then her 'mother' walked down and disappeared. Then she was allowed to go after they made the announcement of her name and the wedding tune was played, "Princess Rachel of Zathara"

Raven then began walking down the long staircase, careful not to stumble on her little legs or trip over her long dress. She walked into a large church and there were people everywhere. She walked nervously down the aisle, studying her future husband as she advanced. He was handsome, and looked about 17 years old. He had light brown hair and dusty brown eyes. He smiled at her and Raven had a feeling that the smile was empty. She returned the smile with an empty one of her own. They both turned towards the priest.

"We are gathered here today..." Raven didn't hear the rest of his rambling, she was lost in her thoughts. The priest was an elderly man with a head full of white hair. He looked frail and tired. When she came out of her stupor she heard the priest say, "Do you Prince Alexander take Princess Rachel to be your..." and she zoned out again, 'So he is a Prince huh' she thought. She then heard herself saying "I do" like a robot. There was more rambling and before she knew it Prince Alexander's lips were hot on hers. When he released her there was an appalause and she was guided, by her new husband, down the aisle, out the doors and into a horse carriage that was made for royalty. The journey was long and silent, her husband didn't speak a word to her and she had nothing to say to him.

When the carriage stopped they were outside a humungous castle, Raven gasped as she drank in the sight of it's beauty. Alex just frowned at her and walked into the castle. Raven followed him in awe. Everything in the castle was beautiful just like her castle, just this one was a lot bigger. When he stopped suddenly, Raven plowed into his back and without thinking she automatically said, "At least give a girl a warning"

Alex turned to look at her and frowned but remained silent and this annoyed Raven. He led her into a room and then turned to her and said, "We are leaving Zathara in a few moments, your things are being loaded into a carriage right now. We are going to go to Japan for our honeymoon"

Raven at first frowned, then she nodded. This time it was Alex's turn to frown, he studied her profile while she looked around the quarters. "So why aren't you arguing with me?"

"Why would I quarrel with you?"

"You love Zathara and don't want to leave"

Raven scratched her head and then said, "Maybe I need to see the rest of the world before I grow old"

He studied her hard before accepting her excuse. He then pulled her out of the quarters and they once again got into a carriage. The journey took many days, and they travelled by ship as well. Raven felt very uneasy about that, she couldn't levitate and she watched enough old movies to be aware of the dangers. Alex was surprised that he had to use force now, when he was ready to use force when they were in Zathara. Rachel seemed different, like she changed over night. Normally she was a bubbly and talkative person that loved to socialize. Now she was a silent, expressionless person that withdrew from people. She seemed more submissive now than when he last saw her.

When they arrived in Japan, Raven was escorted into a small little cottage, where there were a few maids that would cater for her every need. That was when the true plan of Alex was unravelled.

"Well now my wife I shall be on my way"

"Where are you going? This is supposed to be our honeymoon" Raven asked. He was the only fimiliar one now and she didn't want to be around strangers when she was powerless.

"I have fulfilled my fathers requirements of me. I have married the Princess of a country that could be of use to ours, and now I can fulfill my own needs. You are staying here while I fulfill my dream of being a sailor"

Raven frowned, "So you are just going to dump me here. Why dont you take me back to Zathara?"

"Your mother wouldn't have any of it. And then how would my father be able to use the resources of Zathara?"

"You wreched snake!" Raven spat out

Alexander just laughed at her and walked away from her. Raven was now stuck in a place with people she didn't know and with no powers. How was she going to survive?

Well thats the end of this chapter. I have great plans for this story. I know this chapter just flew throughthings but these tiny details aren't important. The next chapters are going to be more interesting.
