Sunset

This takes place right after the Teen titans defeat Ravens father, and Raven doesn't know what she should do next. This is my first fan fiction, so I hope you like it.

Darkness and destruction, that is what my life was meant for. I was born so I could be used as a tool to satisfy my father's thirst for power.

But now that my father is gone, I sit and wonder what my purpose in life is; What is my new destiny?

My whole life I had considered myself a monster, so I stayed away from everyone, because I didn't want anyone to get hurt.

But somehow I managed to make friends, and I used my powers to save people instead of destroying everything as my father wanted.

I can see the sun setting now, and it's going to be dark soon.

I can sense someone coming up behind me, but I don't move because I know who it is.

"Raven?" I turn around to see a green skinned boy standing behind me.

"What is it, Beast boy?" I try to pretend that I don't care he's there.

"I'm worried about you," Why would he be worried about someone like me? Why does he care?

"Why?"

"You seemed upset lately, since your father…" He didn't finish his sentence but I knew what he was going to say.

"I've just been thinking," he's sitting next to me now only about a foot away. Why does he make me feel this way? As if I'm normal yet special at the same time. I can see he's waiting for me to continue.

"My whole life I've been fighting my destiny, not wanting to become a tool for my father. But now that he's gone I don't know what my purpose is anymore." He looks at me, and it feels as if he can see inside me.

How can someone be so annoying and loud one minute, yet so serious and caring the next.

""What are you talking about Raven? You're a Teen Titan and our friend. You will always have a purpose." I look at him with amusement. It was such a simple answer yet I wasn't able to think of it.

"Beast boy,"

"Yeah?

"Thanks." I turn my head to watch the sunset, and he does he the same. I glance at him. His hand is only about a centimeter away from mine. I placed my hand on his.

I feel him flinch, but he doesn't move his hand away.

So there we sit, watching the sunset.

This is my very first fan fiction, and I know it's not great but I'm still proud of it. Well anyway, please review.
