Raining Down

Chapter 1

Dancing in the Rain

Soft rain cascaded downwards, creating small but sweet sensations throughout Raven's skin. The wind blew across swiftly, tugging her delicate violet hair. The faint sound of thunder rang in her ears, quickly followed by the sight of lightning.

After flying a long distance, she finally stopped at the park and descended to the ground. Quickly, she dashed to the only spot where she felt safe, besides her room. When Raven arrived, she gave a faint smile as she saw the various trees looming around her like giants. Slowly, she took off her hood, and did something that no one, not even her teammates, would expect. She danced.

Without slipping, Raven started to sway to the beat of her own imaginary tune. Each of her feet took a graceful step as she swirled round and round like a ballerina. The mysterious titan loved the calm feeling that the rain gave her. She already felt the anguish drifting away from her soul. Raven closed her deep lavender eyes, and let the tears that she had held in for so long to flow down her cheeks like a river.

To her, nothing seemed right anymore. The world was starting to come down upon her with each passing minute. Why did she have to feel this torment that surged through her veins? Meditation sometimes helped her settle down, but it was useless to control her emotion. It was a feeling so unbearable. It was love.

Images of his gorgeous forest eyes flashed before her eyes. She saw the goofy grin that he always had plastered on his face when he told her one of his nauseating jokes. Out of everyone in the team, he always wanted to make her smile. He was the light that illuminated her dark world. He was her strength; her weakness. He completed the part that made her feel abandoned in this unfair world. Beast Boy was her everything.

It was then when she lost her balance and fell to the muddy ground. Raven didn't care if she was dirty. She couldn't support the agony that she held in her heart. Why did she love him so? He would never love a person that treated him wrong. Although it didn't look like it, Raven always appreciated his character, but she couldn't express herself. It was impossible to be with him. If it ever happened, she was bound to lose control of her powers, and destroy the people she loved most. Raven was destined to be lonely forever, and she knew it.

"Why me?" She sobbed silently. "Why me?" Raven clutched her fist, andsomewhere in the park she heard the explosion of a lamppost.

Raven stood from her place and cleaned herself off. After that, she focused on her illusive melody and started to dance again. For the second time, she closed her eyes, and heard the rustling of the branches above her. The rain felt more stronger now as it pounded against her skin. Mother nature's wrath seemed to calm her broken heart, but she knew it wouldn't last long. Nothing in this world would erase the wonderful, but at the same time, wretched thing that she held in her soul. There was no cure.

Raven looked down and spotted a beautiful flower sticking out from the earth. Then, she kneeled and picked it up with her pale hands. She held the fragile flower against her chest andRavensilently whispered to herself, "He loves me," Raven took off a petal. "H-he loves me not," she tore off another petal.

She couldn't be seen like this. No one would understand her. Raven would only expose her weakness; her flaw. Her friends would not know how it feels to love someone without confessing it. They wouldn't know of the battle that rages within her, fighting to control the yearning to be loved back.

Raven sighed and continued her chant, as a small breeze picked up and blew the petals off into the horizon. Unbeknownst to her, a figure watched her, hidden by the shadows of the vast trees.
