"Thus rests the cold piece of metal in my shaking hand. I lift it to me.
This simple movement, the sound of cutting flesh. I think of everything
that has gone wrong in my life. How I'm just wasting air with my existence.
All the mistakes that have happened can never be erased. As I cut open a
slit in my skin, I wait for the blood to leave my body. And with this
knife, I take my life."
I munched happily on a cinnamon roll, while listening to the boy's dark poetry. Raven had her elbows leaned on our table, as she rested her chin on her hands, concentrating completely on the poetry. She was really interested in this dark poetry, more than I was anyway. I think it's her only way to be able to express emotions, through pen and paper.
I looked around the gloomy café, it certainly was depressing. With its black walls and blood red drapes over the windows blocking out the sun. The midnight blue soft chairs and tables were the brightest thing in the whole place, except if you counted the red neon sign over the dimly lit stage, for poetry readers, that flashed THE GOTHIC. It defiantly wasn't a place I'd want to go alone; some Goths over in the right corner were giving me weird looks. I looked down at my spotless white uniform.
"Am I sticking out?" I whispered to Raven.
"Yes, you look like an idiot." She said bluntly. Fine then.
"You have a bad attitude." I said as if that was the biggest insult I could think of. She rolled her eyes and turned her attention to the boy who had decided he wasn't done with his suicidal poetry.
He started again, "I hate you. You say you love me. But you don't. Why would you do those things to me if you loved me? Your no father, you're a monster, so tell your friend you don't have goodbye, because I'm doing the world a favor, and taking your life...tonight.-"
I grew board, having a very short attention span, and reached across the midnight blue table to take a drink of Ravens herbal tea. I let the hot liquid rest in my mouth a minute before I swallowed it and made a face. It was bitter. All it needs is some sugar, I thought absent mindedly as I returned the cup back to Raven.
"Oh sure, help yourself." She said with a small smile.
"Oh, don't worry Raven; I've got my cootie shot."
"Well, as long as you're not contagious."
Then I thought for a moment, "Hey Raven, I'm gonna order some hot chocolate, okey dokey?" She slowly turned her head to me,
"Hot chocolate and okey dokey? What are you? Five?"
"NO!" I said defensively, "I JUST happen to like hot chocolate!! Ohhh! And especially with whipped cream, and those little chocolate sprinkles!" I waved over to a waiter, who was dressed in a black uniform that said THE GOTHIC in little red letters near his right shoulder. I suppose he was cute, not that I'm attracted to the dark and tormented type. His jet black, ear length hair was shocking next to his pale face, and his lip stud defiantly gave him a creepy look. But the most shocking thing of all was his eyes. His eyes were a striking light blue that seamed to pierce into you when he looked your direction, and as if his eyes weren't already intense, he had taken black eyeliner to his eyes, to give himself a living dead look. Making his face seem even more deathly pale. I noticed Raven shift uncomfortably in her squashy blue chair.
"Oh, hello..." I glanced to his name tag, "Seth, I was wondering if I could get a hot chocolate. Oh!! And be sure to put lots and lots of whipped cream and those itty bitty sprinkles!!" I looked up at him expectantly, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at me with is creepy blue eyes. I started to feel uncomfortable and broke the gaze and I uncomfortably looked down the floor.
"Hey!! I found a penny!" I said brightly and reached down to pick it up. When I returned to upright position, Seth was gone. I looked over to Raven; she had this funny expression I couldn't quite read.
"Rae?" I asked, "Rae? Are you ok?" She didn't say anything. Seth returned with my hot chocolate a few moments later. "Oh! Danka!" I said brightly. Ravens eyes grew huge with horror.
"I'm sorry, she's acting so stupid," She murmured to Seth. What is she talking about? Wait!! Wait a second here!! I looked closer to Ravens face. Was that? Yes! A little blush had risen in her normally pale face, and the cup she was holding was starting to melt in her hands. Seth didn't reply, but gave her an understanding nod of his head, and left. "Um, Raven I think your cup is melting."

"Hey!" I exclaimed as I nosily entered the tower with Raven, "What are you crazy kids doin'? Cyborg was sitting cross-legged while Beastboy was hanging upside-down over the edge of the red sofa. They looked up from their video game and smiled. I glanced over to the table, there was a news paper clipping I saved, it was announcing my address, but it was about a week old by now.
"They are playing pointless video games," Raven replied as if she was talking to the crazy, "They are ALWAYS playing video games."
"Oh, stop trying to make it sound SO obvious," I laughed.
"Well Naomi, I see that everything is going downhill, I'll see you at dinner." She turned and exited the room.
"Later Rae." I replied as I flopped down next to BB and Cyborg.
"Rae?" asked Beastboy with one eyebrow raised. I shrugged.
"Hey! Wanna play video games with us?" asked Cyborg hopefully.
"Sure, what games do you have?" I asked as BB pulled out Cyborgs and Beastboys shrine of games for their gamestation, ok, fine, it's just a tattered brown cardboard box. Beastboy started naming all his and Cyborgs favorite games as I pawed through the box.
"We have Reflection, the whole Tremor series, oh, and Watts! I love that one! It's the one where you race the-"
"Don't you have Mario somewhere?" I interrupted. Cy gasped and BBs jaw dropped.
"Naomi, are you serious? DON'T even joke around like that!" Cy said wide eyed, "Mario is like, literally 150 years old! Not even a two year old will touch it!"
"I like Mario," I replied, "Its simple. Ah! Found it!" I put the game in and the brightly colored graphics filled the screen as the cheerful music echoed through the room. Beastboy found this all highly amusing, and started laughing, as I started playing.
Up – down – straight – up – straight - up collect the coin - jump on the mushroom!
I guess Mario is some sort of big joke in the future. Cyborg was still trying to understand how ANYONE in their right mind would honestly want to play Mario.
"But, but, there's no element of danger!" he argued.
"Yes there is," I argued right back, "That mushroom was heading right towards me!" BB shook his head with a smile on his green little face, and tossed me a Teen Titans fruit snack. I was so into getting Mario over the wheel of fire I didn't even notice the little blue Naomis that the companies had added to the fruit snacks.
StArRy- You have just finished reading the last sentence of the last chapter. But no worries!! I'll have my sequel up in a few days. But I'd like to take this time to acknowledge my most faithful reviewers:
(Note: these are just the people who reviewed more than 3 times)
The Anime Kid and Chas Girl – Thanks for all your reviews! You helped point out a few things I missed in my story. I actually had NO idea how many times I had put "My God!" in my story until you pointed it out to me!
Faded days- I always enjoyed reading your reviews! They were always so nice!! And you gave me some great advice on my story!
Maki- you gave some helpful insight on Terra, though I think we might have offended some Terra fans. Opps. Sorry to all the Terra fans out there.
Softballtitan009 – you actually posted 3 or 4 reviews, but one got deleted, sorry, anywho I really loved your first review!! The one that said that you cried when you read the chapter where she had to leave her love ones. I think that was one of my favorite reviews!!
Also, thanks to everyone who reviewed!! I hope you all go on to read my sequel!! I started a lot of major ideas with this intro that will branch off in my sequel. I hope you all go on to read my sequel, because it is actually pretty good. A very in-depth look at the life of a Titan. All I can promise is that it's going to be a LOT better than this one!!
