Summary: when a strange girl appears in Jump City, Raven is suspicious and slightly agitated when she thinks that the person she likes might have a thing for the mystery girl. But what will happen when the girl proves that she might be related to Raven?

The new old beginning

"Mom, what are you doing?" asked a girl with ebony black hair, emerald green eyes, with a small, black gem placed in the middle of her forehead. She had a well trimmed body, and was wearing a black T-shirt that had the words "I smile because you've all finally driven me insane" written in blood red letters, and she was wearing a pair of black jeans that had handmade, painstakingly designs on them. Her mother looked back at her. It was then that Katrina realized just how much her mother worried. Raven looked over at her daughter's slim figure slowly.

"All in due time Katrina," she stated in a quiet voice.

"Mom, please, don't call me that. I've donned the name 'Crow' now. Katrina is such a bland name," said "Crow" in exasperation.

"I'll have you know, I named you after a good friend." stated Raven in a slightly harassed tone.

"So how come I've never meet her?"

"…Because she's gone." Raven said, a slight note of sadness creeping into her voice.

"Oh." Crow looked around, in obvious discomfort. Scattered about her was an assortment of strange objects.

"Sooo… why have I never been in here before?"

"I have my reasons."

"Hmmm. Sooo.. what does this little hica-mado for?" asked Crow, pointing to a strange object that looked like a mix between an electric pencil sharpener and a calculator. It was making odd clicking noises that made Crow think about backing up, for it looked as if it was ready to explode at any given moment. Crow quelled her fear and reached out a brazen hand to touch it.

Raven looked over at her daughter to see what she was talking about just in time to see her reaching out a hand for it.

"NO! DON'T TOUCH THAT YET!" Raven yelled, only she was too late. Crow's hand touched the device and she went rigid, and in the next second, as Raven was blinded by a sudden flash a small scream was heard. Raven bolted out of her seat and, when she was finally able to see, cried out in horror to see that her daughter was gone.

"And so it begins." stated Raven in a pain filled voice as a small tear trickled down her pale skin. "Good luck."

Hatred101: And thus ends my first chapter. Flame all you want but any unnecessary and oddly rude comments shall feel my wrath. I'm not called Hatred101 for nothing you know.

Hmmm I wonder what Raven meant by "DON'T TOUCH THAT YET" ?

Also, in my next chappie, we will meet in the not so distant past.
