The Titans slept in a campsite that night. They had had their dinners and were sitting round the fire.
"Raven, are you quite sure of what you say?" questioned Star.
"Yes." she replied as stared into the embers of the dying fire.
Their conversations had stopped as all of them looked into the fire, wondering what fate had in store for them.
Robin hadn't yet joined the group around the campfire. Raven left the group and entered into Robin's tent.
"Hey. What did Bee say?" asked Raven.
"Well, not much crime lately. They faced Dr. Light last Thursday but not much damage. Other than that, nothing happened so far. As for this situation, she says the commander wants us back soon. They're scared that villains might take this opportunity to attack. Also, i told her about the green fur. She says she'll report anything she finds."
"Good enough." Raven went and stared out of the window at the stars adorning the sky.
"What's wrong?" Robin asked.
"Nothing."
"Raven i know you long enough to know that this isn't nothing. Tell me what's wrong."
"Good night." She left the tent and walked back to her own.
The wind made a whistling sound as it flew in between the leaves. The other Titans were gone and were in their tents already. The wind around her seemed to singing to her about the approaching storm. She sat in the fireplace for about half an hour, until all the fire ran out and droplets fell from the sky, making sizzling sounds on the embers. She went inside her tent. By nearing her bed, she dropped into it and almost soon fell into a dreary slumber. The storm went on through the night, never showing mercy on anything. The campers slept peacefully.
She woke up with a start. Her sleep had been disturbed. It was strange to feel like staying awake and still feel drowsy. She could no longer fall asleep. She checked her watch. It read 2:50 am. The storm was still strong. She got out of her tent and looked about.
The rain had her wet completely. She was about to head back when she saw a pair of eyes staring at her from the nearby bushes.
Warning- you don't want to read any further.
She walked a little further, without realising that she had left her tent a long way back. The eyes disappeared. All around her was darkness as the rain drenched her. The bare feet left footprints on the muddy trail, which disappeared with the mud. The empath closed her eyes and sensed around her. She felt something getting near her.
Opening her eyes she looked about. She saw many pairs of vicious eyes staring at her through the spaces between trees and the shrubs. She was cornered from every place. She levitated.
Out from the shadows of this forest, she saw figures emerge in the pouring rain. Low growls haunted the area.
One of the wolves jumped at her back and hung on to her nightdress.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she chanted, and the wolf fell off her back, after which she immediately constructed a shield over her. The wolves attacked the shield multiple times but Raven held on. She wasn't ready for a attack in the middle of the night and slumber was inviting her to it's paradise. She didn't have enough energy to open a portal and flying could be dangerous in this storm. She could just fight. Her energy was enough to win against this pack of wolves but she was afraid that she was outnumbered.
Her shield broke down and she fought with the wolves. One scratched her at her arm pretty bad, which caused it to bleed really heavily. She received another scratch at her belly, this one made her sink to the floor. She couldn't uproot trees from this forest for defence as this forest was sacred. Nothing was helping her much in this situation. She threw black energy balls at the wolves, making one yelp in pain. She threw as many as she could while levitating from a good distance. But if only she could heal her herself now. Blood was all over and unconsciousness was gonna be soon here too. That's when one wolf scratched her back and neck, which had pulled all her last attempts at battle.
She fell to the ground. Her mind was fading away as the wolves neared her. In the distance she heard an ululating voice, the same one she heard today.
Someone was near her. Somebody human. Someone caring. Someone loving. Someone who was concerned about what was happening and had happened to her in this battle. She could feel it through her empathy. She could see all that was happening because she still hadn't blacked out.
He looked at the wolves in the eyes, as if speaking to them. The pack bowed to him. They ran away.
The sorceress grunted in pain. He came near her. In the darkness she couldn't see his face as he knelt on the mud next to her. He examined her face, as if he'd never seen something like her. She grunted in pain again, upon which he touched her bottom lip. She was shocked at this reaction. He removed the hair from her face and touched her face as if analysing what it was. She grunted and struggled more. After some more time, she spoke to him-
"Are you going to help me or what?!" she spoke tiredly. He jumped and moved away from her. Slowly he came back and looked at her with a confused expression. That's when he noticed blood in her stomach area. Slowly he picked her in Bridal style. He took her away but she didn't know where. Somewhere deep into the forest. She couldn't keep her eyes open much longer especially not when being in his arms was very comfortable and felt safe. She fell asleep forgetting about everything in the world, forgetting about tomorrow. All she knew was she was going to be okay.
She knew this because that's what she felt when she looked into His Forest, Green eyes.
