River of Blood

Chapter 6: The thread has been broken

Ok not much people are reviewing now… if no one is going to read then that's fine this story doesn't have to have an ending apart from this story was cancelled after no one read it… it's your choice… prove to me you are reading and the stupid word to prove it would be 'marshmallow' and if you include this word it means you are not just skim reading and looking at author's notes which in this story would just improve your insanity level. Thank you and enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own the teen titans, if I did then no one would watch it... OMG! A MARSHMALLOW! AAAAHHHH!

-------

Raven slightly opened her eyes, squinting at her burly image in front of her soon resembled Robin. She groaned and got out of her bed but tried not to wake Robin and she put her blankets over him thinking he might get cold as it was quite cool. She walked to her desk and looked at her clock which was 5:48 am, she looked in her mirror and saw the same ugly unwanted girl she saw everyday steering back at her with those deep violet eyes and grey skin. She felt like she wanted to smash her image with her hands making it break away never to be seen again.

She grabbed her cloak and put in on and lifted her hood up, then she turned but banged into her chair as she did not see in front of her and tripped over it but grabbed to table next to it to get her balance while the chair fell over. The loud clashing noise vibrated through the room disturbing the high pitch silence surrounding the cool air.

"Hmm… Raven?"

She heard a mumbled voice from her bed, Robin turned to face her but did not get up, and Raven could not tell if he was still asleep or just silently starring at her through his mask. But he was already awake and he watched Raven starring back at him and without moving her eyes, she pulled the chair back up with her powers and turned to go out her door, thinking he was still asleep with being so early.

"Morning"

He said more clearly and Raven turned around immediately with a suspicious face studying him. He smiled and sat up and Raven sighed.

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

"Don't worry about it… it's about time I got up anyway"

Robin yawned in between and even behind Raven's hood he could see her blushed and trying to fight of a smile. Then she suddenly had a thought if he was there all night.

"Um… did we?..."

"No"

"…you didn't…"

"I would never"

Raven sighed with relief and then there was an awkward silence, then Raven felt the morning sickness and started to feel a bit dizzy. She turned from Robin and shut her eyes tight trying to hold it back, but it wasn't any use.

"Morning sickness?"

"…Excuse me"

Raven ran to her bathroom and locked the door behind her. Robin got out of her bed and pulled the sheets back up trying to tidy it up, he thought he might just look around her room for a bit while waiting for Raven. He walked to her desk and opened a drawer with photos in it of her friends, and a few pens and books.

He crossed her deserted room to her bed again thinking, then from under her mattress she saw then end of a black book. Robin knew he would be invading her privacy and it's disrespectful but Raven was taking so long and he couldn't help himself. He pulled it out and it was black leather with gold covered corners and on the front it read 'Journal' For Robin this was the jackpot, he opened it carefully wanting a peak and stopped on a page it read:

'Dear Diary

I can not deny my feelings for Robin, I can't even look at him without making something blow up. Curse these powers that make my emotions dangerous! I love him… I really do love him but Cyborg told me he asked Starfire out on a date, I'm heart broken. I thought behind my expressionless face and sarcastic remarks he would see the true me and how much I want to be his forever. But he's spending all his time on Starfire… why doesn't he spend time with me? I know it's because I'd deny it but it's not like a wouldn't if I could. If he ever reads this then I am doomed. If Beast Boy reads this, he'd be getting money from pictures on the internet; on TV, oh I can only imagine the immature pin head! If I only had one wish… I wouldn't wish to be hot or happy or be smart… I would only want to be with Robin… if only I could though… if only... if only.'

Robin was petrified to even think about Raven writing this, he never even thought about something like this… she really wanted him? Robin? The Boy Wonder? Who is obsessed with catching the bad guys? He was sure Starfire would never want him that much. Robin wanted to learn more, he turned to the last page with writing on it and thought this might give him a clue about how Slade really was… it read.

I am cold and lonely, but I fear if someone will sit beside me.

Friends and family can not be trusted, after one person melts your heart to thick custard.

It's not that they'd hurt you but you might never know,

One day there'll turn on you and start to grow.

My rapist is evil and will be the death of me

Who knows…? I might even carry his unborn baby…

My pain is still there in the memories I relive,

I want to end it now, the only words I can give.

Please god take me, take me away!

Away from the cruel world I must look at day by day.

Take me… take me away… away… away…

"Are you ok?"

Raven said and Robin scared to death by Raven seeing him turned to face her closing and hiding the book behind him. Robin was even more afraid, it sounded like Raven should be in an insane asylum the way she writes her dark poetry! He blushed profusely sweat drops coming from his temple.

"Yeah! Just great! Better than ever!"

Robin forced a smile on his face trying to scare her off so he can put the book back and get the fuck out of there! She sat on her bed and turned from him and Robin thought this was his one and only chance to stuff the book back under the mattress before she notices, he does so and sits next to her.

"You've got to tell them"

"But I don't want to"

"Raven! You have to!"

"I can't! I'm sorry but I can't!"

"Tell them or I will!"

"Fine!"

"No! You must tell them because it's about you! It doesn't involve me!"

"You tell them!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Fine I'LL tell them!"

"… No! You can't tell them! It doesn't involve you!"

Robin growls having enough of Raven, he turns to her and holds her hand. Robin can tell she doesn't want any other human contact on her skin but he doesn't care.

"Raven… do yourself a favour… do to a doctor and get checked out, it'll only take 5 minutes and then tell your friends and I the news ok?"

Raven is shocked! How can he even suggest that! Robin smiles and gets up to leave, Raven wanted to stop him but couldn't, she wanted to cry. She didn't want to because she feared that they might take her to a Mental hospital. Robin realises what he's done.

"…Raven… I'm sorry"

"Get away from me!"

Raven says in a low monotone voice, Robin backs off and then the alarm goes off. The towers flashes red and Robin stares at Raven, she narrows her eyes and flies out the door. Robin runs after her.

"NO! Raven! Don't go! You'll get hurt!"

Raven didn't care, she flew past the others ready to go and pushed past Cyborg to check the computer… it was Slade. Raven knew she didn't want to go, Robin would always be on back and would hurt anyone who touched her and she was in no condition to fig. She was still sick and she hadn't had breakfast and not even dinner from yesterday. She was weak, but Raven was damned if she was going to let that get to her.

"Hello titans, glad to see you. It's been a long time"

Slade said and Robin came through the door next to Raven, he looked at her. Raven couldn't even look at Slade's face after what he did to her. She turned away fighting the tears that bring her, her own misery. Robin then felt extreme anger, that guy raped Raven, and ripped her to more shreds then she already was… he was going to kill him!

"… Something the matter Raven?"

Raven turned to a close up of him on the screen, he looked deep into her eyes and realised she was already hanging by a thread, one more little snip and she will fall. Raven turned into her soul self and flew through the roof out to the city, she already knew where he was.

"Raven!"

Robin called out and Slade chuckled and then the screen went blank.

"What is wrong with Raven…"

Robin thought they were onto her and Robin turned to them viciously and Robin and Starfire shared a hateful glance.

"He's in downtown! Titans! GO!"

He yelled and then burst to the garage and jumped on him R-Cycle and raced after Raven. (God knows how… aren't they on a island in the middle of the sea?... strange people… anyway) The others apart from Starfire jumped in the T-Car and raced after him.

"Dude! Slow down! Don't worry we'll catch Slade"

"…it's not Slade I'm worried about"

Everybody went quiet and the titans split to search for Slade and the city was surprisingly deserted, not fully but mostly. Then Robin saw Raven in an alleyway. Robin chased after her.

"Raven! Wait up!"

She turned around while still floating and looked at him, wanting to know why does he keep following her, what does he have against her or what does he want from her?

"Aren't we meant to find Slade?"

"Yeah but… we can talk at the same time can't we?"

"I guess"

"…I … I didn't mean it Raven"

"What?"

"What I said about the hospital… it was… I'm sorry"

"You know I would never go and it was mean and stupid. They raise you like you were actually wanted"

"Ok… it was mean… and stupid?"

"Slade!"

Raven called and They chased after him on the roof tops, the others had already found him and they keep running and flying for almost 5 minutes before they could actually get up to his face. When they were back on the ground Slade got away and they still needed to catch them but the titans were tried… especially Raven.

"Please Raven! Go back to the tower, we'll be fine! You're not well!"

"I can handle it!"

Raven was pretty pissed, she felt dizzy and her head really bad and she thought that this was abnormal somehow. She fell on top of the roof a bit behind from the others and then she felt it. Her heart was clenched in a massive hand staining it with blood which ached, her throat had closed up and she gasped for air but she couldn't. She fell to her knees and her vision went foggy, she tried to keep going, telling herself that she was ok but she wasn't… that final thread… was broken.

Raven fell off the building and was falling through the thick air and was about to hit the ground, she now couldn't feel a thing and for once in her life… her pain was gone. But then before she was about to meet her doom, 2 hands caught her and he fell on his knees trying to hold her up. He kept screaming her name but she couldn't hear anything. He picked her up and carried her away back to her home with her friends following her.
