Nighttime: (1:05 a.m.)
Raven's Dream:
Tap. Tap. Tap. I was walking around in my mind. That was weird. I wasn't meditating…Maybe I'm just dreaming. It will go away…
Suddenly, the images changed. I was no longer in my mind. I was…
What was I doing here?
My father, he had taken over again.
And I was still a child!
I walked around, seeing my friend's bodies on the ground; they must've been attacked my Trigon. (1)
But… what happened to them?No! This can't be happening! It can't! They're…dead.
End of her dream.
Normal POV:
Raven shot up from her bed, sweating and panting. In her mind, she saw Cyborg's body disabled, and… gulp…a sword going through his head. Starfire and Beast Boy had mangled bodies with a pool of blood lying beneath them. And Robin…
Robin's arms and legs were chopped off. His head was also cut off from his neck… and his body was facing Raven, leaving her to view the guts and blood inside of him.
In other words, it was not a pretty sight.
She suddenly rushed into the bathroom and threw up. She hadn't been eating well, so not a lot of her vomit was coming out of her. She was panting by the time she was done, so she washed her mouth and tried to go back to sleep.
Unfortunately, insomnia was part of being insane.
------------------------
With Robin:
Damn, I hated Slade. What could I do? Every moment I make would be seen or heard by Slade. Stupid chemical. I can't tell Cyborg or anyone else that Raven was turning insane. I don't know what to do! If only I could get this chemical out of me, I could tell Cyborg secretly, and Raven would not turn psycho!
Wait a minute…
------------------------
With Raven:
Raven was still sweating, and she couldn't sleep at all. Every time she would lie down, blood hungry thoughts would come, terrorizing her mind. She got up, and went into the kitchen for water.
After her drink, she went back into her room and tried to sleep, but failed miserably. She kept on walking around the tower, hoping to get tired so that she could sleep. Her mind was frantic, with all her emotions running around. Her eyes were drooping, wanting to close and stay that way.
But, every time she slept, terrifying images threatened to be left in her mind.
'This is pointless', she thought. 'I can't keep walking around.'
She headed towards Robin's room.
------------------------
With Robin:
All I have to do is find out what kind of liquid Slade's bots injected into me. Then, I could run some sort of scan, and hopefully, I can get this chemical out of me!
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Someone was knocking on my door; it was easy to guess who it was.
Raven.
I opened the door, and there she was.
"I can't sleep." She said.
I let her into my room, and she sat on my bed. I could tell something was troubling her, so, I asked.
"Raven? Anything wrong?"
She evaded my eyes. She looked down, and tears started to form in her eyes. She quickly brushed them away, but I asked again. "Raven, what's wrong?"
She still wouldn't answer me. So I forced her chin up, and her eyes avoided me.
Great.
"Raven, please look at me." I think that did the trick. Her eyes looked up, and she rose from my bed.
"Robin, I'm- I'm starting to think something's wrong with me." You have no idea.
------------------------
I don't think it's much of a cliffy, I mean, she's figuring it out. I will explain next chapter. But please review.
