I do not own the Teen Titans, but the dragon character is mine alone.

This is a vampire fic (mainly around Raven). Cliché, yes. Do I care? No. it's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Chapter one: When Flesh Meets Scale

Raven woke with a start, glancing around to see if anyone else was awake. Seeing nobody, she silently slipped out of bed and made her way down the hall. Careful not to knock over anything, she thought of why she woke up. "Musta been a bad dream" she murmured, half awake. She floated to the river outside of the Titan Tower and began meditating." Azarath Metrion Zynthos, Azarath Metri....."

Meanwhile, in Jump City.....

A dragon like figure prowled the alleyways, searching for food. All he had found that night was a few bones and a small adult human. Letting the human go, he gnawed on the bones. I need something a little more substantial than this' he thought to himself as he scoured the alley. About 3 minutes later, he felt a wave of psionic energy wash over him. 'A psion? Rare, but I'm not one to complain' he thought as he bounded of in the direction of the energy. As he approached, the energy began to feel darker than most others. 'Hmm, this one seems to have a bit more darkness in their lives than others I've fed on'. This thought passed through the dragons head as he let loose a volley of icy blasts. These blasts formed a kind of ice bridge across the river. He approached the energy and almost went mad. He swung a claw at his target, none other than Raven.

Raven sensed a large energy approaching, but as she opened her eyes all she could see was a clawed hand flying at her face. In the small amount of time she had, she put up a barrier to deflect it. It had an adverse affect, stopping the blow from landing, but the force of the blow was so powerful it sent her tumbling through the air. As she struggled to recompose herself, another punch was thrown at her, more powerful than the last. This one connected, and Raven felt sick as she heard bones break. Doubled over in pain, she felt a blow connect with her neck, sending her flying into a rock.

Inside Titan Tower.....

The alarms were going off left and right, waking the remaining titans. Scrambling, they all gathered in the main room. "Role call!" shouted Robin" Beast Boy!" "Here" "Starfire!" "Here" "Cyborg!" "Here" "Raven!" No response, looking around, none of the titans noticed anything out of place."Cy, give me a scan of the tower!" shouted Robin as he looked out for Raven." Well, the intruder seems to be......a DRAGON?!?" yelled Cyborg in confusion. To the side he could see raven fighting it, but it was obvious she was hurt." Titans, move out!" Robin barked the command. As they headed for the door, they were bowled over by Raven, who was thrown through it. The force of it knock out all but Raven and Cyborg, Raven because she had her fall broken by Cyborg, Cyborg because he was mainly machine. The dragon stalked in after Raven, with its jaws glowing blue with energy it had prepared for an icy blast. As it prepared to launch its attack, Cyborg blasted it with a sonic cannon shot. Not expecting its meal interrupted, the dragon was thrown back into a wall. As it stood, Raven and Cyborg launched simultaneous blast, both which were knocked aside with ease. The dragon let loose its icy blast, freezing most things it passed along the way. Raven put up her barrier, but it only prevented the blast form freezing her and the other titans, the force still knocked her through several walls and down a flight of stairs. Upset at being interrupted, the dragon went to destroy Cyborg, but noticed the sun over the horizon. It dashed out of the tower, with Cyborg in hot pursuit. But before Cyborg could get outside, the dragon was long gone.
