Chapter 8

The Forbidden Island

The Teen Titans walked into a village to stock up on supplies.

Beast Boy sat with Raven at a table as they waited for their friends to meet them there to eat.

"Did you hear?" Someone whispered. "Another person disappeared on the Forbidden Island."

"Really, who was it this time?" Another asked.

"It was Melvin, Timmy, and Tether."

Raven's eyes went wide.

The person gasped, "The poor dears; they were so young."

"Raven, are you alright?" Beast Boy asked.

"Melvin," she whispered. "If this is a prank they are so grounded." Rae stood up and turned toward the two gossipers, "Where's the Forbidden Island?"

They stared at her.

"You should not go there young lady. Many have…"

"Tell me!" She shouted.

"Very well," the other sighed. "You can see it from the east docks but there's no way to get there except swim."

Raven rushed toward the east docks with the green changeling right behind her.

"Raven! What's going on!" He asked.

She stopped suddenly and turned around, "Tell the others I'll be back soon."

"Where are you going?"

Raven levitated up into the air, "I'm going to the Forbidden Island."

The Forbidden Island

Raven landed and scanned the area as she saw flashes of Titan's Tower. "This place has a strong physic connection." She walked around, the pebbles of the shore crunching under her boots.

"AHH!" A scream came from a cave. "Let me go!"

The vampire ran to the side of the cave and peeked in.

"Dear child, if I let you go," a masked man said, "how am I going to lure your friend here?"

Melvin looked frightened as he chained her to the wall between Timmy and Tether. "She'll defeat you and save us!"

Raven recognized him. He's the guy from my dreams! He's Slade!

"Save you?" He chuckled. "Dear girl, you don't know her destiny at all do you? She's going to bring about the end of the world." Slade grabbed the girl's chin, "And you, will be dead."

"You're lying!" Timmy shouted. "Raven would never do that to us!"

The dark girl was shocked. Was everything in her dreams true? It was all too much of a coincidence. "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven shot him into a wall and ran to the children.

"Raven!" They shouted.

"You've come to save us!" Melvin yelled.

She used her powers and released them, "I want you to run to the village and find a green boy ok? Tell him what happened."

The blond girl nodded as she grabbed the two boys' arms and ran.

Slade dusted himself off, "Hello Raven."

"Slade," she showed her fangs in response.

"Aw," he mused, "I see you made yourself a vampire."

Rae frowned, confused.

"Curious, what did you make the others?" He stepped forward.

"What are you talking about?" She took a step back.

"Now Raven, don't tell me you forgot your real life already," Slade said.

"This is my real life!" She shouted angrily.

"Really, are you sure about that?" He suddenly appeared in front of her as he touched her forehead.

"ARH!" Raven shouted in pain as she began to remember. She stood up and glared at him.

"You see?" Slade asked as Robin and the other titans rushed in.

"Raven!" Beast Boy rushed over to her, "You alright?"

She kept glaring at him, "You, you did this! Why!"

"You really think I have that kind of power? I'm obliged but no. You did."

Raven growled, "What about my father? I lived with him in this reality."

"True child, that was him. However, do you remember what happens at the end?"

"Let's get him!" Robin shouted and they charged.

Rae's eyes widened.

Flashback

Arrows shot from the forest and killed everyone except her and Beast Boy who was knocked out.

Trigon walked up to her, "You betray me! You brought them against me!"

Raven walked back, scared. "I didn't do anything!"

He picked up the unconscious changeling and brought a knife to his throat. "What's wrong Raven? Aren't you going to save your friend?" Trigon's voice sounded like Slade.

"NO!" She screamed as Slade brought pressure to the knife.

End Flashback

"DON'T!" Raven shouted as she brought a shield of power between Slade and her friends. She let out a relieved sigh, "that was close."

"Raven! What are you doing!" Robin shouted at her.

BB, Cy, and Star stared at her concerned.

"You can't…fight him," she fainted and her shield broke to reveal Slade was gone.
