The next morning woke Raven brutally early, or at least too soon to her liking. In the time that she had fallen asleep and woken up, she had somehow managed to twist her body around in her bed sheets. She was half turned on her torso, with one leg stretched to halfway extend off her bed; the other was curled backwards. One arm folded under her head while the other extended over her head to cover her eyes. Most of her coverings were wrapped harshly around her legs and lower torso. The rest of it hung off the bed. She gave a deep huff upon realizing she was, indeed, awake on such a light sleep. She remained still for a moment, eyes open in sma

I knew when I saw the bamboo plant at your funeral That you knew it was the end. Twelve years later I wonder what would have been. If you were here now, would I be the way I am today? Would I have all my friends, where would I stay? Would I be myself, and would you accept me Or would you shun my choices and push me to be saintly? How would you feel, what would you say? I hope you still love me, wherever you ended up, Be it in Heaven, a bird or a tree. I hope you see me, I hope you can still feel me. Nothing can rip you from my mind The way Death ripped you from my life.

I’ll be the Phoenix If you’ll be the Sun. I’ll rebirth the world in fire If you set my soul aflame With holy vengeance. I’ll burn the veil, If you’ll let me, And expose human nature for what it is, To molt a burning feather, To light the world, To show that the void between what we think And what we feel Is a galaxy beyond our reach. We’ll help them pierce the veil of self-discovery.

                               "The gem was born of evil's fire,                                   The gem shall be his portal.                                       He comes to claim,                                        He comes to sire,                                 The end of all things mortal!" Raven’s body burned with the flames of a thousand suns. The heat of the forming portal below her licked at her feet like the flames of Hell. She could not move, she could not scream, she could not cry for help no matter how desperately she wanted to. She regretted coming with Slade now, she wish she would have stayed in the prot

There are times I lie awake at night, Feeling the sludge of my soul stirring, Felled permanently from flight. I think of the crevice in my soul Once filled by a loving Other. Sometimes I run my fingers Across my hands, Feeling the hemoglobin that lingers Within ice-blue veins. I forfeit the demands Of my hateful days. I forfeit this shadowgame of hearts And sink beneath my skin, And forget the remarks Of the demons in my head. A head-full of chagrin, Sleepy with terrestrial entropy. The dreams that occupy my skull Are afflicted with that day's storm And serve little to lull The physical ache, Even when nestled warm In bed with thought.

You pierced my heart with great precision, A single silver needle cracking through my sternum. You injected yourself there and a flood of You Replaced my blood. Inside my heart you forged a bond that will never sever. But your foulness and abandonment are suffocating to the extreme. If a bond is never to sever, How long is never, if never is tomorrow?

AN:Hey everyone, sorry for the very long hiatus. I've been very busy with school and life and...really a lot of things, and I'm still very, very busy. I hope this chapter does some service for my long absence. I will let you all know now that I am going to be rewriting and resubmitting chapters 1-7. No new chapters will be released until they are done, and all 7 will be submitted at the same time so you won't have to wait. Thank you for your support along the way. For those of you who have forgotten, at the end of the last chapter, Raven falls asleep in Starfire's bed. The following, until the break, is Raven's dream and told in her point o

The morning following seemed to be a blur as Raven stirred from her slumber. Her bed was empty, and she had somehow moved to the foot of the bed overnight. She was sure Starfire had been there the night before; maybe she had to leave once again? But that didn't make sense to Raven as Starfire was only gone during the night, provided she was not supposed to be somewhere. This notion made no sense to her either; Starfire was one to notify everybody if she were to be somewhere without notice. "Maybe I'm just overthinking things," she said to herself as she sat up on the end of the bed. Raven's arms stretched above her head. One hand fell down t

Starfire cautiously crept into the tower, making sure to leave as little noise in her wake as possible. She tiptoed past Robin's room, then past Cyborg and Beast Boy's. She began to pass Raven's when she stopped, noticing the still broken door, half opened to reveal a sliver of her teammate's room. Starfire stopped, staring at the dark hole for a few moments before hovering to it and peering inside; from here she could see the foot of the bed and the windows. "Raven?" she called out softly, not knowing whether or not she was awake. A few moments later, not even before Starfire could draw another breath to sigh in disappointment, Raven's hand
