One with me

Chapter 1. How it all started

I was walking down the city's streets, it was late already, but I had to go give back a book to the library. While I headed back to the tower, I enjoyed the soft night breeze, I had a long coat on; so I wasn't cold.

We all had started to stop using our costumes by now, Beast Boy had changed to a bit more of a street style, wearing jeans and t-shirts he used to decorate himself. Cyborg had started wearing baggy pants and he now had a more of a tough guy attitude, while Robin had kept his mask, I could swear it is glued to his face and his outfits were now quite casual, but still perfect for battle.

Starfire had changed her clothes completely, her outfits changing every now and then as she loved using different styles, I can't deny she looks gorgeous on them... And lastly me, whom had kept with the dark colors, yet now I used more formal clothes.

That night, I didn't feel like going back to the Tower for a while, it had been a rough week between us, every time we had been meeting ended with a fight lately. And so, I took the long way back home, a grave mistake from my part.

As I passed by an alley, a hand grabbed for me and I was dragged into darkness, I don't remember much what happened, but I froze. My eyes met with the ones of my aggressor, a man with clear eyes and light hair, he didn't lose anytime and smirked at me, showing his blood thirsty fangs.

I tried doing something, but I couldn't, still today I don't know exactly what happened, but he leaned on me and bit my neck profoundly, rapidly sucking my life force away and when he was satisfied, he let me go, leaving me in the alley, almost without anymore blood.

A cold feeling grew inside me and I knew it wasn't because of the night time, I don't remember much after that sensation, but I managed to get back to the Tower somehow, probably with my last energy amount...

I didn't even went inside by the door, instead I entered by my window silently I didn't have any strength left, so I passed out in the spot, spending the night in my room's floor.

I lost track of time after that night and so, three days went by rapidly, I hadn't come out of my room since then, I drifted inside it all day long, curtains shut and my door locked, looking for an answer, yet I couldn't find it.

As I stood in front of my mirror, I analyzed my reflection as I had done several times now, the pair of fangs I had grown now showing slightly inside my half opened mouth, there was no doubt about it. No escape from reality and what it really meant...

By that time, I had changed completely already and soon, my instincts will desire their first meal. He had transformed me, making me one of the so called 'children of the night', I was a vampire now...

Someone dragged me out of my daydreaming on the third day's afternoon, a soft voice following after the knocking.

"Raven... Are you alright?" Starfire's voice sounded from outside my door, I rapidly went over to the door and leaned on it, if by chance to stop her from opening.

The whole team wasn't exactly on their best terms, yet some relations between us were still intact, an example was Starfire and mine's, we still treated each other like before and even better by now.

That fact explained why she was there now, we hadn't seen each other in three days now, and it was an obvious reaction of her to worry about me.

"Yes... I'm ok Star..." I assured, my voice sounding slightly rasped.

"Is that so... It's been three days now, won't you come out from your room already?" she asked me again, the worried tone in her voice unavoidable.

"Perhaps... But I'm alright, so don't worry about it..." I said, trying to calm her down as possible.

She sighed deeply and let out a slight 'ok', short after that I heard her footsteps, as she left from in front of my door. I could feel tears build up in my eyes, I hated lying to her, but it was necessary, at least until I got a hold in the situation...

I changed my clothes, sticking with dark colors as always and swiftly put my long coat on; getting feed would be the biggest dilemma for the moment, so it came first. I used my window as an exit again and left the Tower behind, getting inside the city's streets rapidly.

After some time walking, I reached my destination, the city's main blood bank, perfect...

I got attended rapidly and as a Titan I was, it wasn't hard for me to get provisions, as a first go, I filled a travel bag with blood serums, those would probably be enough for a while...

I thanked the one that helped me out and headed back to the Tower again, it was late afternoon already and so I felt time was a bit against me; Starfire would probably go check on me again later on.

The three first bags practically went to waste, the taste was unbearable for me, but after a few goes, I managed to get accustomed to it. I put the rest of the blood away, making sure to leave it in a place nobody would find it, that nobody being Starfire, as she was the only one that was allowed to go inside my room...

A couple of hours after I got back to the Tower, a knock was heard in my door again.

"It's me..." the sweet voice announced itself, but I had no doubt it was her from the beginning.

I let her in this time, I had cleaned up the room a bit before her arrival and I had even left the curtains open, so the night light entered the room pleasantly.

"Are you sure everything is ok?" she asked me for a third time now and I nodded to her again as an answer.

"I can assure you I'm ok..." I said, trying to sound as firm as possible, but she still could see through me so she knew there was something else.

Her hand reached for my face and her warm skin touched my cheek, as she smiled softly at me.

"I'll believe you then." she accepted, she knew she could trust me and I was glad I could trust her as well. "... But don't forget I'm here Raven, whatever it is, I would love to help you out as much as possible, so please don't doubt on letting me in..." she reminded me in a soothing tone of voice.

I couldn't help but to nod to her request, a single trail of tears rolling down my eyes. "Thank you Star..." was all that escaped my lips, but words couldn't start describing my feelings for her by now...
