Soul of the Rain: I realized that mistake. I forgot! Darn keeps hurting self, slapping and punching I fixed it anyway.

Disclaimer: If I don't put a disclaimer, you can sue me. I DON'T OWN TEEN TITANS OR ANY OF ITS CONTENTS EXCEPT RAINE. SO DON'T SUE ME!

I hope you like the new title :D did you notice that the initials are R.O.D.? (R.O.D. means Read Or Die and it's an anime)

I'm very sorry for the very late update.

Raven's Room

As the sun rose, Raven's room brightened. She awoke with a groan, rubbed her eyes and checked her arms.

Good. No red marks on them.

Raven gracefully got out of her bed, fixed it and put her cloak on. She went to the Main Room, without fixing her hair.

Main Room

"Whoa, Rae! Your hair is a mess!" Beast Boy said in awe.

"It's Raven. And so what?" she said, flattening her hair with her hands.

Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy sat on the couch. Robin had his arms on the head of the couch, legs crossed but one foot tapping impatiently. Beast Boy rubbed his stomach and Cyborg's facial expression was dull.

"Good morning, friends!" said Starfire cheerily.

Raven turned around and looked at the kitchen. No one was there. The dishes weren't touched.

"Is something wrong…?" asked Starfire.

"Yeah. Raine's not here. We've been waiting for her to cook." Robin explained.

"You shouldn't count on her too much. You cooked before she came here, didn't you?" Raven pointed out.

"Oh, yeah." Cyborg and Robin stood up and began to make their breakfast.

The door opened.

A five foot five female walked in. She went to the kitchen, took out a few recipes and in five minutes, breakfast was served. What questioned the Titans is that Raine didn't eat what she cooked. Instead, she took out the Milo box and poured its contents into a black bowl that had 'Don't try to steal my cereal. Anybody who has tried ended up in the grave.' Sprayed on it. She poured milk and ate it.

But then again, Raine almost never eats what she cooks for breakfast. She uses the Titans as a lab-rat for breakfast. There was one failure, however, when Beast Boy wasn't able to eat for two days. She waits for the Titans to take a second bite. After the second bite, she starts eating. But when it's breakfast, she always eats Milo. She never can feel good each day without Milo.

"Do you ever eat what you cook for breakfast?" asked Robin, stuffing himself with bacon.

Raine didn't say anything.

The Titans must get used to her silences. She may not speak; she always listens.

"I wonder if she even has the ability to speak." Beast Boy whispered.

"I heard that." She said, her sharp eyes piercing Beast Boy's.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry don't kill me!"

Raine remained on her seat.

She finished her cereal, washed the bowl and left the room.

"What is with her?" asked Cyborg.

"It's her everyday. Leave her." answered Raven.

Robin shrugged. "Hey Star, you didn't touch your food."

"Oh! I was deep in thought. I shall eat." Starfire smiled.

"Hmm, this is delicious!" Starfire said, stuffing herself with her breakfast.

Robin sighed. "Something just doesn't feel right." He said.

Raven stared outside the window. Suddenly, she saw her mother—Arella—outside her window, floating in mid-air.

"Mom…" she whispered. She teleported outside without notifying the Titans.

Outside the Tower

"Mom, what are you doing here?" asked Raven.

"I've come to warn you. Do you remember Laurelle? Raine's cousin?" Arella asked.

"…The over-protective-nineteen-year-old? Yeah." Raven answered.

"Laurelle warned Raine about her destiny. And I will warn you about who your enemy is. Since your destiny is to end the world—"

"Mom, don't tell me that trash…please…!"

"Raven, you must listen. Your destiny is to end the world…and Raine's destiny is to keep the world under the Lord's control and make sure it still lives. In order for that to happen…she has to kill you."

"But I don't have to end the world! I won't." Raven looked away.

"I'm sorry, Raven. But you have to or else Trigon—your father will rule this world. If you end the world…judging day would come. But if Raine continues—humans will have more chances. But your father has more chances of ruling the world even if it ends or continues. It's a very complicated prophecy, my dear." Arella sighed.

"So that means…Raine will kill me?"

"Or vice versa. I'm very sorry."

But if Raine will kill me, she'll go to hell. If she doesn't…I have to end the world…and I might go to hell…but…what about the Titans?

"Raven…I'm just here to warn you. You choose what you do—but each choice has its own consequence. Choose wisely. Good bye."

A swirl covered Arella. As soon as the swirl disappeared…so did she.

Raven sighed and dissolved through the window. She appeared in the Main Room with the Titans eyeing her.

"Was that—?"

"But I thought—"

Raven calmly flew upstairs to her room.

When she arrived, a note was pinned next to her door.

Raven,

I'm sorry. And I think that your mother already notified you. I know this situation is very hard and dire—but it's destiny.

I guess…I have to do my thing.

Raine

Raven felt really empty. She was very close to Raine…and vice versa. But either had to kill.

"Who even made this stupid prophecy?" Raven muttered, snapping the note off the pin and walked inside her room.

She tried calming herself from the monstrous stress by meditating. She shifted into Lotus Position (A/N: thanks so much, AkatsukiSakuya!) mid-air and pressed her index finger and thumb, and chanted "Azarath Metrion Zinthos…"

It helped a bit, but there was still stress. She was deep in her mind, not taking note of her surroundings.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Rae? You there?"

A voice that belonged to Beast Boy interrupted her 'pleasant but disturbing' meditation. Annoyed, Raven answered "Yes, go away. I'm busy."

"…Well, sorry. I just want to know what you're up to." Beast Boy said.

"Well, it's none of your business. I'm busy." Raven answered darkly.

"I regret worrying about you." Beast Boy muttered coldly and stomped away.

Raven didn't worry about hurting Beast Boy's feelings, though. She was too stressed for her own problems.

Raine's Room

In spite of knowing that she has to kill Raven, she already went ahead and planned how to kill her.

Her hand trembled when she held her pencil.

I'm planning how to kill my best friend.

Wasn't that disturbing?

Raine dropped her pencil and crumpled the paper she was writing on. She crushed it in her fist and burned it in the Main Room. She went back to her room and lay on her bed.

She felt so disturbed. She didn't want to kill. The Lord wouldn't forgive her.

But if she doesn't kill…Raven would. But she knew, deep, very deep, very, very, very, very, very deep inside, that Raven wouldn't. Both girls cannot handle the pressure.

But if either wouldn't…Trigon would reign. But what about before…?

If Raven would kill Raine, the world can end and the Lord will judge who goes to Heaven. But if Raine kills Raven, the world will continue and humans have more chances but Trigon will reign and Raine will go to hell.

So the question remains…

What choice?
