Possessed (BBRae Fanfic) [COMPLETED]

Chaper 3: The Man Behind it All

If you are squeamish about depictions of blood, proceed at your own discretion.

"All I can remember is my blood dripping on the floor and me waking up with blood all over my bed." I explained.

"Let's take a look at the security footage." Cyborg said.

"Ok here it is. This is at 4:31 this morning." Cyborg said as we watched the monitor.

I teleported out of my room.

"Let's switch over to the Ops Room camera." Cyborg did as he said.

I was suddenly in the kitchen, still no blood on the floor. I reached into the drawer and pulled out the largest kitchen knife we have that isn't a butchers knife. I seem to be examining it. Then I placed the knife on my wrist and slit it several times like I was mincing a vegetable. Blood dripped from my wrist and I moved on to the other and did the same. When I was done I wiped off the blood on the knife. I dropped some blood on the ground and I clearly saw it but I walked right past it.

Then Cyborg stopped the feed and everybody looked me.

"Why did you just walk away?! You clearly saw it on the floor!" Beast Boy yelled. I stepped back and thought for a moment.

"That wasn't me." I said.

"What?" He asked.

"It wasn't me. Last night I had a dream where Slade told me to cut myself. I told him no, but he kept telling me to."

"Is that what you were mumbling about last night?" Beast Boy asked.

"What do you mean? I was asleep when you left." Oops. I've said it much. Now they're going to ask.

"Friend Beast Boy, you were in Raven's room?" Beast Boy and I are blushing now. I think I'll let him explain.

"Well, after yesterday, Raven didn't want to be alone. And I was talking to her and she asked me to stay. Heh heh..." he said nervously while
rubbbing the back of his neck. "I woke up at like 2 o'clock and she was mumbling some stuff. I think it was, 'No, I won't do it.' Or something like that. That must have been what she's talking about."

"Oh. Well I guess I was. But I don't remember waking up, or cutting myself for that matter. So he must have bee controlling me. I don't know how he would have been able to get into my mind though."

"You don't remember? Hmm..." Robin thought out loud. "Maybe you should stay in today Raven." He suggested.

Yeah not happening. I'm not going to be a prisoner in my own home because of Slade. That's a deal breaker.

"Yeah no. I'm not going to stay at home. Especially if you guys are on a mission. That will be the perfect opportunity for him to do something else to me." I said.

"She's right. We can't leave her here by herself if we have a call." Cyborg said.

"Then you can leave then. But otherwise please stay in." Robin pleaded, not in a beggar's tone though.

I nodded my head. Then, as if called for, the crime alarm went off. We all ran into the ops room.

Nothing big. Mumbo was robbing a bank.

That was pretty easy. We got him in less than twenty minutes. That's a new record. I looked around and fixed all the collateral damage we caused.

I just saw somebody sneaking in the shadows of an alley. I float over and look in.

"Careful Raven." Cyborg cautioned.
