Dark Paradise (RobRae Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Malchior stroked the deep purpled hair girls crimson cheek, and stared deeply into her raven eyes.
"You're so beautiful, Raven, my dear." He whispered, and put his arms around her waist.
The half demon blushed deeper, and hugged him, snuggling his chest.
"But I don't love you, Raven."
She backed away, and gently stared into his eyes, devastated.
"I don't love you." The man who was made of paper soon started to unravel. The purpled hair teens cheeks were now streaming with tears.
"AH-"

Robin woke up at 3:20am once again, from screaming. He got up a little drowsy, with just his boxers and socks on. He walked towards the screaming, even though he already knew who it was. He approached the black metal door, and knocked loudly on it.

The screaming stopped after the fifth knock, and he heard footsteps. He ruffled his messy hair, and then the door opened. There stood the girl with dark bags, sunken in eye sockets, and paler skin then usual.
"I'm fine." She said bluntly, wanting him to leave.
"Raven... it's been a month..." Robins voice cracked saying the sentence.

It's been a month since Malchior betrayed her. All the Titans tried to make Raven better... but nothing worked. Robin was always the one to check on her when she had nightmares. Which was every night. Cyborg sometimes brought her food up to her, but she barely ate any of it.
"Would you like some herbal tea? I can make it for you, if you like." The boy wonder asked Raven, smiling gently. She looked at him, and slowly nodded. "Bring it up for me?" He nodded back, and she slammed her door, causing wind from the slam to go through Robins hair. He chuckled, and went to go make hot herbal tea for one certain Titan.

He came with the herbal tea, in Ravens favorite black mug. She opened the door, snatched the tea, mumbled 'thank you' and slammed the door shut once again. He smiled gently, thinking this is the most they've talked in a month besides the nightly conversations that goes along the lines of Robin asking 'you okay?' and Raven answering 'I'm fine.' then slamming her door. He proceeded back to his bedroom.

Raven sat on the bench in front of her window, looking out to the city and sipping her herbal tea once in a while. Once she was finished she sat the black mug down on her dresser, and opened her underwear compartment. She took the mirror, and teleported the box that was hiding in the mirror, into her bedroom.

She took the synergine from the little box, along with the other stuff.
She tied her arm, and shot the addictive drug. She had only done it once, and she promised herself never again...

It hit quickly, and she slowly turned the nob on the radio.
"In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon."
The music blared from one ear, and right out the other. It vibrated through her head, and caused a sensation. She began swaying throughout her room to the beat, enjoying herself and the feeling of relief.

"In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Looking to get fucked hard."
Robin heard the lyrics from Ravens room, and smiled.
'Maybe she's happy...' He thought. The other rooms were on the other side of the tower, so there was no way they could hear the music. He let it slide, and surprisingly fell asleep.

"You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart please."

It was about 6:00am in the morning when the 'high' wore off the raven haired girl. She sat back at the window, in the state of where she was before she shot up the addictive drug. She felt... cocooned. She didn't even realize that 2 hours had passed of he starring out at Jump City, until there was a knock on her door.

"Raven, breakfast!" Cyborg yelled through the door. "Don't want any." She said plainly. The robot sighed, and then walked back to the kitchen.

"She didn't want it?" Beast boy asked, looking at the tray plop down on the marble island in the center of their kitchen.
"No, BB! She gobbled it right up!" Cyborg answered, with sarcasm flowing through him. Robin sighed, and swallowed the last bit of his breakfast. "I'll take her some tea..." He got up, and began boiling the water.
"What makes you think she'll drink it?" Cyborg asked, frustrated. Robin smirked, and poured the boiling water in a purple cup. One of Ravens, of course.

He put the mint tea bag in the hot cup of water, and began steeping it.
"You're going to get your head bit off, Robin." Beast Boy chuckled, joking. Robin glared at him, which made the green Titan swallow deeply.

"Friend Raven isn't joining us this morning?" Starfire asked, floating in from her hour routine of getting ready. Cyborg sighed, "Sorry Star. Not today." He took a bite of his breakfast burrito, ending the conversation that happened everyday "Robin... It's been a month." Starfire stated, settling next to the leader who was currently steeping the tea for the Titan that wasn't there.
"I know, Star..." Robin agreed, putting a mint leaf in the hot tea, and walking towards Ravens room.

He knocked lightly, "Rav... I made you some mint tea." The door creeked open just a tiny bit, showing the face of Raven. She used her powers to teleport the tea he was holding, on her dresser inside her room. His hand then held the empty black mug from yesterday night. He smiled gently, thinking about how she actually drank it.

"Thanks." She thanked emotionally, and was about to shut the door-
"Raven! Uhh... wanna go to the black rose caffe tonight? Your favorite?" Robin asked, hoping it would get her out of the house. There was a pause.
"No." She answered simply. Her door then shut. He sighed, and made his way to the investigation room to look into some criminals.
