A/N: I don't own the Teen Titans, if I did there would have been many more seasons. I was inspired to write this story by the song ' The Lords of Salem' by Rob Zombie. Rob rocks! I hope you like it and please review.
Chapter One
Raven walked down the street with her friends. They were site seeing in the town of Salem, Massachusetts. It had been her idea to come here, but she wasn't expecting her friends to want to come. Her eyes narrowed into a scowl. She wanted to go to Salem alone. It was the place where the Salem witch trials took place in the 15th century. It fascinated her so much because she was basically a witch herself. She sighed as she watched her friends ogle at the little villages where the townspeople would dress up in 15th century clothing and act like their ancestors did back then. " Oh these are so cute." Starfire said as she held up a small corn doll. " Don't you think so friend Raven?" Raven shrugged and looked at the doll indifferently.
" This is so cool!" Beast Boy said as he watched a teenaged girl churn butter. Raven noticed that he was watching the girl more than the churning.
" Wouldst thou like to churn?" She asked sweetly. Beast Boy nodded and took the girl's place at the barrel. He began to churn and as he did this he started hitting on the girl. Raven was slightly surprised that the girl didn't slap him. In fact she actually seemed to be interested.
" Hey Raven." Robin called. Raven floated over to him and asked him what it was. " I want to buy this but I'm not sure it's authentic." He said showing her what appeared to be a ceremonial dagger. She checked the inscriptions and told him that it was a fake.
" Are you implying that I'm trying to cheat him, that dagger was used by a group of warlocks for human sacrifices." The man in the stand said.
" Trust me I know mystical items, and that is a fake." Raven said in a quiet monotone.
" How could you know little girl?" The man asked his anger apparent.
" I'm a witch believe me I know." Raven said walking away. She was walking past a small shop when an old women stepped out in front of her.
" My child I noticed your clothing and thought that you might want to visit my store." The women said with an almost toothless grin.
" Why would you think that I would want to visit your store just because of my cloths?" Raven asked a tad skeptical.
" You are wearing witch's clothing and I sell items for witches." The women replied. Raven was still skeptical. For all she knew these ' witch's items' could be just as fake as the dagger the man tried to sell to Robin. " Don't worry my child, all of my items are authentic." The women said. Raven was surprised. It was as if the women could read her mind.
" Ok let me see you items." Raven said. The women smiled her toothless smile and led Raven into her shop. The store suited Raven. It was dark and smelled like nightshade.
" Please have a look around." The women said pointing towards the shelves. Raven walked through the isles and stopped when she saw an ancient looking book bound in leather. On the cover was a symbol that Raven was unfamiliar with. It was a circle with two pentagrams and a wolf with the legs of a calf.
" That book is four hundred six years old." The old women said suddenly appearing behind her.
" What does this symbol mean?" Raven asked putting her index finger on the symbol. The women smiled a sinister smile that Raven didn't notice.
" That is the mark of the wolf." The women said placing her hand on Raven's shoulder. " It was used as a symbol for a group of warlocks and witches calling themselves The Lords of Salem."
" How much?" Raven asked. The women's smile grew even broader and her old eyes seemed to gleam with youth.
" No charge deary, just promise me you'll take care of it and it's yours." The women answered. Raven was more than a little surprised with the little old women's offer.
" I couldn't possibly accept this without paying for it." Raven said trying to hand the women a wad of cash. The women pushed Raven's hands away and told her to take it. Raven took it in defeat and thanked the women for her generosity. As Raven left the shop she didn't see the old women laugh silently to herself. Raven walked over to her friends with her new book under her arm.
" Ready to head back?" Robin asked when everybody was gathered together. They said yes and they went back to the boarding house they were staying at. After dinner Raven went up to her room and began to read her new book. Suddenly the book started to glow and shake in Raven's hands. She heard the voice of a women shout a spell. It sounded like she was outside. Raven wanted to go to the window and see but the book held her in place.
" Azarath metrion zinthos!" Raven chanted to try and break the spell but it was too strong. As soon as the spell started it was over. Raven looked around. She wasn't in the boarding house anymore. She stood up and saw a village in place of the modern city she was just in. " Where am I?" She asked to no one in particular. Then she saw an old wooden sign that read: Ye old town of Salem. Oh my god. She thought. I've been transported back to 15th century Salem.
Present
Robin and the other titans burst into Raven's room to see what the commotion was about. " Where is friend Raven?" Starfire asked concerned.
" I don't know, let's go find her." Robin said. As they left the house, none of them noticed the figure of an old women watching them from the shadows. An evil smile was evident on her lips as she cackled into the night air.
A/N: I've taken a break from my other story, Starcrossed, to work on this one. But if you are currently reading that story, have no fear I will have more chapters in after I've worked on this story for a while. I hope you guys liked the first chapter and even if you didn't I'd still like to hear from you. Please review. More chapters coming soon.
