Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans!

Sorry for the delay everyone! I got sort of sidetracked with my summer class. But the good news is, the class is only until the end of the month and then I'm free!

(Ahem) Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter 2

With that, Beast Boy ran out of the room. Cyborg watched him go in amusement. But once he was gone, he dropped his smile. "I sure hope nothing's wrong."

It was the middle of the night and Raven was tossing and turning in her bed. Groaning, she turned again with a pained look on her face. Normally, Raven didn't dream. But when she did, the dreams usually weren't very pleasant. And lately, she had been dreaming. A lot.

Suddenly, Raven's dream was cut short. Her eyes snapped open and she gasped as a single word cut through her mind, ending her dream. 'Raven.' The empath bolted straight up in her covers, breathing hard and sweating slightly. She closed her eyes and gently messaged her temples to try and calm herself. "It's okay." She told herself. "These dreams aren't like last time. He's NOT coming back."

For nights now, her sleep had been riddled with dreams and nightmares. And every night they were cut short by the same thing. Someone, or something, was calling out to her, forcing its way into her mind whenever she went to sleep. But whatever it was, it wasn't trying to hurt her or control her. It was more like it was trying to get her attention. But it still worried her that it could break into her mind so easily.

Once she settled down, she opened her eyes and glared at the air. "That's it." She growled. "I've had enough. "Getting out of her covers, she walked over to her dresser and picked up a small mirror. Crossing her legs, she closed her eyes and levitated into the air. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

When Raven opened her eyes, she found herself in the Nevermore. But instead of seeing the floating islands that she usually found at the entrance, Raven found herself in Knowledge's domain. There were bookshelves everywhere, each one crowded with books. Standing up, she walked through a small path until the shelves ended and she found a large table surrounded on all sides by more shelves. There was only one chair empty, the rest were occupied by all her different emotions.

"Welcome, Raven." Knowledge said. "We've been expecting you."

"Right." Raven said as she took a seat. "Then you know why I'm here."

"Of course." Knowledge replied. "You're worried about the presence that's been breaking in to you mind."

"And before you ask, no we don't know what it is." Reason said before Raven could say anything.

"Okay." Raven growled. "Then do we know what it might be?"

"Heh. You wish." Rude answered, kicking her feet up and resting them on the table.

Knowledge glared at the orange clad emotion and pushed her feet off the table. "What we do know is that it's what's causing the dreams. They happen whenever it invades your mind, which we can use to figure out what it really is. We also know that you were right earlier. It isn't Him. He hasn't made any obvious moves and Rage herself confirms that Trigon hasn't made any contact with her." Next to Reason, Rage started grumbling.

Raven shuddered at his name, but she got over it. Timid looked at her guiltily and said, "I'm sorry Raven, but we don't know anything else."

The empath sighed and rubbed her temples. "Right. So what can we do to stop it?"

"Actually," Knowledge said hesitantly, "I don't think we should stop it."

"What!" Raven growled.

Knowledge held up a hand to calm her down. "I know it's hard on you, but we need to figure out what this thing is and how it's been breaking in so easily." She shook her head. "We can't do that if we completely block it out. "So…"

"So you want one more night." Raven finished for her. Sighing, she leaned back into her chair. "The lack of sleep is getting to me. Beast Boy hasn't said anything, but I know he's worried."

Happy and Affection started giggling to themselves. "Isn't it cute?" Happy gushed. "Our Beastie Boy is all worried."

Reason rolled her eyes at the two before turning to Raven. "If he's worried, you should tell him."

Raven thought about this before shaking her head. "No. If I told him it would only make him more worried."

Affection smiled and started waving her hand around. "Oh-oh-oh-oh. You should definitely tell him! When he gets worried, he gets all protective." She started giggling again. "Isn't it cute?"

Raven rolled her eyes and groaned. Standing up, she looked at Knowledge. "You have your one night. Now I'm going back to sleep."

Knowledge nodded and also stood up. "This meeting is adjourned." Then, one by one, the other emotions disappeared until only Raven and Knowledge were left. The yellow clad emotion glanced at Raven and said calmly, "I don't know much about relationships Raven, that's always been Affection's area of expertise. It's not something you can learn about in a book. But I think you should really tell Beast Boy about this. He cares for you. He might not be able to help, but he'll do anything he can." With those words, she wandered off into her library.

Raven sat in silence for a moment before shaking her head. "I will. But not until I know more about what we're dealing with."

Yeah I know it's short, but like I said, my concentration has been elsewhere…Stupid speech class.

What's the presence that's been invading Raven's mind? And what can Raven do about it? Next time in Chapter 3!
