"I'm willing to bet that 'not coming to Fandom High,' was one them," Karla whispered into Raven's ear. "Might even been as simple as that. I mean, if you hadn't come here, what would you have done after that bitch Zenana or whatever kept you from joining that group? That's what concerns me the most. You were so much less sure of who you were back then. It would have been much easier for anyone to find you and mold you into someone else."

She leaned back and tapped Raven on he chin to bring her eyes up to meet Karla's. "Not like now. Now you have a better grasp of who you are and what you want to become," she said softly.
