Hello good people of To those of you who have read my stories before, thanks for sticking with me through almost a year of nothing new. To those who decided to check out my stuff, well, thanks for checking out my stuff!

This idea has been running through my head for some time now. I put up a notice that I was going to write something like this awhile back, but I couldn't get the plot right. Well, it finally hit me, and here's the result! Please review! I want to know if its any good. Flames welcome.

Oh, and just incase your wondering, any pairing you might think is made (at least in this chapter) was unintentional. However, there may be robstar later on, and possibly bbrae. Haven't really decided on that yet.

Flashes of color. Voices chanting. Going fast down a tunnel. Taking a right turn, opening a door. A necklace, with a hollow gold pendant. The gold weaved in and out, leaving chunks of open space. A blue gem entering the pendant, the necklace glowing, a pair of yellow eyes. Someone laughing, loudly and menacingly. A scream.

Silence.

With a startled gasp, Beast Boy's eyes flew open. He sat up quickly and ran a shaky hand through his hair. Sweat dampened his forehead as he glanced at the glowing digital clock across the room. 6:00 o'clock in the morning. Could it really have been only a few minutes ago that he had woken up from the same horrible laughter, the same high pitched shriek, the same dream? And only a few minutes before that, that it had happened again? He sighed and lay back down. The same dream had been waking him up every few minutes for the entire night.

He closed his eyes and tried to go back to sleep. But the bliss of slumber he needed so much had been precluded by the continuous nightmare. He couldn't even understand why it scared him so much. But the entire time he felt like he needed to be somewhere, he felt like someone was dying and he needed to get to whoever that was. He sighed again and hoisted himself up and out of his bed. Glancing in the mirror, he stopped. Rings encircled his eyes like the missing part of the moon, and he was pale under his green complexion.

He took a long, hot shower, waking himself up a little and freshening his appearance. Usually he didn't quite care how he looked, but he didn't want to worry his friends. Plus, he thought of himself as the one who always had to be happy, always had to be in perfect health. If someone wasn't always there to cheer people up, the team may have fallen apart years ago. Starfire needed someone to pep her up when she was down, however rare those times were, Robin needed someone to keep him mellow, Raven needed someone to be annoyed at, and Cyborg needed someone to beat the crap out of at video games (even if BB did have to let him win every once in awhile).

Forcing a wide grin on his face, he walked into the main room. It was now seven, and the others Titans were up already.

"Hey B. You're up earlier than usual." Cyborg said, a grin spreading across his own face at the sight of Beast Boy's smile.

"Eh, woke up, couldn't get back to sleep." He said wryly, making his way to the fridge and pulling out a case of tofu. He dropped it into a pot filled with water and turned the stove on. He turned and glanced around. Starfire was searching through the fridge, obviously looking for some Tameranian ingredient they obviously di not have. Cy had set a new high score and was watching Robin try desperately to beat it with a smug smile. Raven was sitting in one of the chairs, staring at her book. He turned away and then did a double take. She really was only staring. Her eyes never moved, and she never turned the page. He frowned, slightly puzzled, and turned back to his tofu.

Meanwhile, Raven was equally confused. Ever since she woke up that morning, a feeling of dread had been cast upon her. Occasionally she sensed black magic in the corner of her mind, but when she reached out telepathically to grasp it and locate its origin, it slipped right through her grip. It was like trying to pick up water with an open, flat hand, and she was getting irritated. A few minutes later she sighed quietly and set her book down. She stood slowly and walked to the corner of the room, staring out the window. Beast Boys reflection appeared beside her.

"Morning, Rae!" he said cheerfully, "you gonna eat today, or just suck down a couple of those tea things?" she turned and glared at him, but it had no affect. He just stood there, grinning his stupid little grin. She sighed.

"Just leave me alone." She said monotonously. His ears lowered slightly and he began to turn. For some reason Raven felt guilty. Why did she have to be the one to ruin his mood? She almost called him back but was hit with a sudden wave of mental energy. She stumbled forward and instantly threw up rock hard barriers around her mind. The attacker never wavered, slamming into her walls and almost breaking through. Then she felt a hand on her arm, and the energy vanished. She looked up and saw Beast Boy holding onto her shoulder, a concerned look on his face.

"You okay, Raven?" he asked quietly, and after glancing around she realized no one else had noticed. She straightened up and gently lifted his hand up and off of her shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She said. "Thanks." She added as an after thought. His grin returned and he wandered back to the kitchen area. Raven stared after him, her confusion mounting. Who was that attacker? How was he so powerful to be able to almost break through her practically unbreakable barriers, and yet hide himself from her? The only times her shield had ever been broken was when she herself let them slip, and when her father, who was double her power, had sent her visions whilst taking over the world. And the most puzzling question of all: Why had the attack stopped when Beast Boy came in contact with her?

Hey guys! Sorry the first chapter was so short, but I thought it would be a good idea to end it there. As you can tell, Beast Boy and Raven are the main characters. But for those Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg fans, don't worry! I'm going to work them in as much as possible.

Later!
