Chapter Thirteen: "Shadow Realm"
Robin got to Raven's room and started knocking on it. At first no one seemed to be getting up, but he was persistent. Finally, Raven came to the door and opened it slightly.
"Robin, what do you want?" she asked, apparently mad because she was disturbed.
"I need to talk to you, can I come in?" he asked, looking at her worried. Raven sighed and opened the door all the way and allowed him to come in.
"What is it Robin?" she asked, wanting to get this midnight conversation over with as quickly as possible.
"Raven, you told me that I can come talk to you about my nightmare. Well, I need to know something." He told her.
"About what?" Raven asked, now relaxed.
Robin told her what had happened in his dream. Raven sat down, listening and taking everything in. Finally, Robin finished.
"What does it mean?" he asked.
"Robin, you're in a lot of danger." Raven told him sadly. She got up and walked over to her book case, searching for a specific one.
"What do you mean Raven? What's going on?" he asked, now getting extremely uneasy.
"The Shadows are dangerous beings, and it seems that there leader has taken a fancy to you." She told him, grabbing the book she was looking for.
"I'm afraid I don't understand." He got up and walked over to her.
"Inside your dream, you are inside the Shadow Realm; it's a dark and mysterious place. Very few people are aware of its existents... It's made up of different kinds of -" she stopped, looking for the right word, "-creatures." She finished.
"Creatures?" Robin asked confused.
"One of those creatures are called The Shadows. They are both good and evil and they can be very dangerous." She told him, he was starting to get worried.
"What are Shadows and what do they want from me?" he looked at her as she flipped through her book.
"Shadows are similar and often mistaken for humans because of the close repellence. Although, as you saw in your dreams, are very pale, due to the fact that they don't have sunlight, and have only one eye color, hazel. Of course, there eyes can change color to fit there moods. They have either brown or black hair, and there lips are very, very red for some strange reason. They are often found wearing tight black clothes. The only time they associate themselves with the real world are when someone hires them to do something that a normal person can't or to find a lover. The Shadows are mostly women, men are very rare. What they want with you is user, sometimes they'll deceive there victims to think that they actually love and care for them. It's always difficult to figure out there true intentions."
"What do I do? I don't want Starfire hurt, would they really kill her to get to me?" he questioned, frightened of the thought.
"If they wanted you badly enough, yes." She continued looking through her books.
This made Robin uneasy. He began to pace back and forth. Raven seemed to notice this and started getting aggravated.
"Can you please stop that?" She asked, not hesitating to make sure he knew she was getting aggravated. "Here it is." She announced.
"What is it?" Robin asked, looking at her with worried eyes.
"This is a book about different creatures and I found the Shadows." She replied, waking back to her bed and taking a seat.
"How is that going to help me?" Robin asked.
