"Raven..."
"Yes?"
"I need to tell you something,"
"What is it?"
"Well I....well, I..."
"Yes...?"
"Rae....I love you...."
Raven's eyes popped open and she was greeted with a rush of nausea, that started in her stomach and rose to her throat. She wanted so badly to throw up, as if that would cleanse her of everything that happened, but no matter how sickly she felt, nothing happened.
Raven finally came to her senses, she was on her hands and knees, staring at the dirt covered ground, with a maze off to her right and nothingness everywhere else.
She dug her long fingernails, that were so delicately painted black, into the soft ground beneath her. It was cold, damp, and smelled of pine. This wasn't her island and she knew it just by the look of things, and the constant feel of love and caring that thickened the air around her.
Taking a deep breath, she brought herself to her feet slowly, and without hesitation started to walk towards the maze.
About halfway there Raven heard a rustling behind her and then laugh that was light and airy. It sent shivers of annoyance down her spine.
"Hey Rae"
Raven glanced over her shoulder, where the voice came from, and saw a girl that looked exactly like her. Though, the other her was dressed in a green cape and sat on a the branch of a tree. She giggled and swung her legs over the side.
"So what brings you here?" She asked, with a wide smile across her face. Raven just sighed and continued walking forward.
Out of the corner of her eye Raven saw the other her frown and cross her arms over her chest.
"Stop being so grumpy" She pouted, pulling her dark green hood over her green hair.
Raven let out an exasperated groan from the back of her throat.
The other Raven giggled and grasped her by the elbow.
"Having Robin troubles again?"
"You already know that!" Raven growled, pulling away from the happy Raven. Her stomach churned at he very thought of her leaders name.
The other her just smiled brightly and followed Raven closely. She leaned in closer to her ear and laughed.
"You have to admit though,"
Raven spun around to face her.
She smiled and continued, "That was one hell of a kiss!"
The growl that escaped Raven's throat after that, scared even her. It was not the growl of a human, it was the pain, sorrow, hate, and fear of a ferocious animal. Her eyes ignited fire and the darkness began to envelope her, it was her only shield from the real world, yet it was the only door to the demon that rested inside her, the demon she inherited from her father.
She felt the hatred rising inside of her, boiling to the brink of destruction, her heart began to ache. Knowing that Robin could never be hers. All the hatred she had for them, the alien girl and her beloved leader, began to take over.
Before she could even register what was happening, Raven was on her hands and knees, pounding into the earth. Taking out all her anger on mother nature, hating everything. She had snapped....
"STOP!" Raven screamed at herself, she screamed again, louder this time. Putting every ounce of pain into the banshee like scream. She shut her eyes as tight as they would go and curled up into a ball, she wrapped her arms around her knees and her mind began to race.
Why had she snapped....? Was it the mention of the kiss....?Was it the mere fact that she knew now what she was missing out on....?That she knew the pleasure that Starfire doesn't deserve, yet feels each day....
Raven screamed again and her body shook furiously, the other Raven sat at her side, watching her with a worried look on her face.
Then everything disappeared, it was as if nothing had ever happened. She breathed in deeply, the smell of peppermint flooded her nostrils and she smiled, partially.
That's it She thought happily,...I've gone insane, I've lost all feeling in my being and I'm losing my sanity.... She laughed and sat up, her eyes still shut, but not as tightly.
Then his eyes, his beautiful midnight eyes, flashed through her head again. She smiled and sighed.
Then his whole figure stepped into view, he wore a causal slayer T-shirt and faded grey, jeans, with holes in the knees.
He no longer had on a mask, so he looked like a normal teenager. Robin reached forward and touched her cheek lightly, she gasped and her body shivered. It was a good shiver though, one that only happens when your body tingles with delight.
Robin smiled and kissed her lips softly, his lips were like pillows and her lips began to tingle as well. Raven gasped again, she could feel everything, it was like he was really there.
But, that's impossible... Raven thought angrily, she refused to embrace any hope that this was not a dream.
She closed her eyes again, but couldn't shake the feeling of Robin's lips entwined with her's. It was as if their lips were meant to be together, like they were meant to be together.
Then without warning Starfire came bursting into her happy little room, wearing a small sundress and nothing else, then sweet dreams quickly turned to nightmares as she watched Robin happily turn around and tenderly kiss her on the lips. The kiss became passionate and their hands began to roam over each others backs. She could take it no longer, she tried to scream, but it came out as nothing more than a whisper. She tried to move, but something strong held her back.
Before she even knew what was happening, Starfire lay nude on top of a nude Robin. Raven felt her heart break as Robin thrusted deep into Star. She moaned and her grip became tighter on Robin's bear flesh. They kissed and his pace became quicker, with each thrust there was a loud moan coming from the tiny alien girl.
Starfire screamed his name, over and over, biting onto his neck and all Raven could do was watch.
Raven finally let out a horrifying scream and she shut her eyes tightly, she fell into darkness, slowly. Thought she could still hear Star moaning his name, over and over. Raven could take it any longer. She opened her eyes and reached over to her black night stand, reaching for the sleeping pills.
Her hands shook as she opened the bottle, still listening to them moan and the bed shake.
Once it was open she poured the whole bottles worth into her mouth and shut her eyes tightly again. Then she finally drifted off to sleep.
