Raven read the letter again. It still made no sense.

"What is that supposed to mean?" she thought out loud. Raven walked over to a microscope, and slipped the paper underneath. She brought her eye to the lens, and searched for anything that might aid her. "Nothing," Raven sighed, removing the letter and turning the microscope off. I might have to show it to them. Maybe they can help… She got up from her seat, and walked over to Terra's office. She was sitting at her desk, reading the newspaper.
"Hey, Raven. You need something?" Terra asked, looking up.
"Um…yeah. Do you know if Jinx and Starfire are in today?" Raven asked.
"Jinx is getting some coffee next door, and Starfire is on her lunch break. Why?"
"When they get back, all three of you come to my office. I have something that I need help on," she said, turning around and walking out.
"Rae, what's this all about?" Jinx asked later that day. Raven took the letter out of her pocket, and set it on the table in front of them.
"Do any of you know what this means?" she asked. The three of them stared at it.
"It looks like a screwed up form of Elvish," Terra said.
"Got me," said Jinx.
"Where did you get this message, friend Raven?" Starfire asked.
"If any of you say anything loudly, I'll kill you. You remember the thief we were chasing yesterday?"
"Robbie-Poo?" Jinx smirked. Raven glared at her.
"Yes. I found this envelope on the floor after he got away. I opened it this morning, and I found the letter…At least…I think it's some kind of letter," she said.
"A love letter, perhaps?" Terra said grinning.
"No it is not. Now, wipe that smirk off your face, or I'LL DO IT FOR YOU!" Raven yelled, banging a fist on the table.
"Sorry, Rae. Just poking fun," Terra squeaked. Raven sighed.
"I know. BUT IT'S ANNOYING!"
"Friend Raven? Why do you need to discover the truth of this letter?" Starfire asked.
"Because it might tell where he's going to strike next, and then we have an advantage."
"Okay, Raven. We're looking at it," Jinx said. It was quiet for almost ten minutes, before anyone spoke.
"Perhaps it is some form of 'Thieving Code'," Starfire suggested.
"I don't think it would have been written in that, Star, or Raven wouldn't be able to figure it out," Terra said.
"I got it!" Jinx said, standing up. Everyone looked at her. She stared at the letter a moment, and then sat down. "I don't got it."
"Okay, well, thanks for your help. You guys can go-OW!" Raven cried, spilling hot coffee on her hand. "I'm going to go wash my hand in the bathroom," she muttered, picking up the letter, and stomping off.
"Stupid coffee…" Raven said, drying her hands. She sighed, and leaned on the sink. She took out the letter again, and read it through. It still made no sense.

"This is stupid," Raven said, looking up into the mirror. "I'm never going to figure…this…" she stopped, staring at the letter. Raven clenched her fists, and ran out the door, and down the hallway.
"Guys!" Raven cried, throwing open the door to Terra's office. They three of them look up.
"What?" Jinx asked.
"I figured it out!" Raven cried, taking one of Terra's pens and a piece of paper.
"How? What?" Terra asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes! What have you discovered?" Starfire asked.
"I was looking in the mirror in the bathroom, and I could sort of read it backwards! The entire message is written backwards! H…E…L…P…?" Raven stopped, and read it through.
"What does it say?" Jinx asked.
"Help me…I'm being trapped by Slade…?"
I hope you all liked it! I'll get to the fourth chapter when I get to it! R&R! Switchfoot13
