Chapter 17

Listen to the Wind

Diana walked down the sidewalk. Why did I call him Garfield? I don't even know what his name is? I feel like I know him though. "I really could use some herbal tea right about now." She sighed and looked over at the café across the street.

Unknown to her, she was being followed by a green mouse. I need to stop listening to the wind or whatever. Really, I mean I'm probably just losing it.

She sat down at a table and yawned, "I think I'm finally losing it." She lifted the cup of tea to her lips.

Gar listened in.

"There is no way Garfield could be his name so why did I say it? It just slipped out before I even thought anything. And why did I feel like comforting him in the first place. I don't go around comforting people I don't even know." She sighed and laughed sadly, "But since I know no one I guess that means I'm what? A hermit crab?"

The green mouse was very interested in this.

"And here I go talking to myself. As if it isn't bad enough I argue with myself in my mind." Diana rolled her eyes and they just happened to land on the green mouse. She narrowed her eyes, "Damnit Beast Boy!" Her hand slammed on the table, earning her stares as the mouse scampered off. She stood up and ran after it.

Gar changed back outside, laughing nervously, "Sorry Rae."

"It was bad enough last time when you scared me in the middle of the night and now you're stalking me." She pointed at him angrily.

"Hey, I said I was sorry for it years ago!"

She blinked, "Where did that come from?"

"You're Raven!" The changeling smiled.

Diana raised a brow, "We went over this. I'm not Raven."

"But you just acted exactly right her and I called you Rae."

"You're a crazy person." She turned around and started walking off.

"Come on Rae," he grinned.

"Raven!" Diana shouted at him and she gasped, "What-what's wrong with me? How did this happen?"

"I know someone we can ask." Garfield told her, "If you're willing to trust me." He offered his hand.

Diana took his hand and they ran to a house down the street and knocked on the door.

The door opened to reveal a blond with unusual light blue eyes. "Raven!"

Diana growled, "If one more person calls me Raven, I swear I'm leaving. Insanity or not."

"Her name's Diana," Gar laughed. "She doesn't believe it but I think somehow this is Raven."

"How did you find her? I gave up years ago and thought maybe she was in a baby's body." Dove said as she pulled them inside.

"Actually, she found me," he grinned.

She nodded, "Sweet." Dove clapped her hands together and Raven's mirror appeared in front of them.

"Still keep it up then?" He asked.

Dove shrugged, "Just in case you know." She turned toward Diana. "Ok, touch this."

Diana reach out slowly and barely touch it and pulled back because the mirror suddenly began to glow.

"It's her. How did she get to be the same age though?"

"She told me she was in a coma around the time of Raven's death and when she woke up she had no memory." The green guy explained.

"Ok, I'm leaving," Diana turned around.

"Still inpatient," Dove shook her head. "I'm just going to have to unlock your memories."

See, Raven's not really dead...even though she did die and all.
