That whole night I had to meditate. For one reason and one reason only, and no it wasn't Slade. When I got back to the tower Beastboy dragged me on to the couch and made me watch a movie with him. His arm was draped over my shoulder and his body heat kept me warm. Once the movie was over and the screen went to the credits I could feel his warm breath on my ear.

I turned to him with a small smile on my face only for him to lean in and kiss me. My eyes snapped wide open and the TV screen shattered. I jumped away from Beastboy then ran into my room. Right now I am meditating and trying to suppress the feeling of love rising in me from the one kiss, the amount of energy pulsating from all of my emotions going crazy was too much to handle.

Someone started to knock on my door and before he began to speak I knew it was him. "Raven, I'm sorry. I—It's just that—well I like you and…" He paused and I listened as he slumped on the ground leaning against my door. "You are so easy to talk to, you're amazing in every way, and I think I love you Raven." I shook my head in shock.

"I do still love Terra but I need to get over her—she's not coming back." His voice broke and I could hear him surprising his sobs, "Raven, I'm sorry." I felt his presence leave my doorway and I quickly snapped my body into my mirror in order to release some tension.

The second I entered the portal tears flooded from my eyes. I wanted so much to be with Beastboy but not only is he still in love with Terra, but because of me she will be here tomorrow and I knew that Beastboy can't watch Terra die one last time even if that means I will be there for him, and even if I did try to stay with him my emotions would kept me from really being able to comfort him and be loving.

Oh Beastboy I'm sorry too.

Why is it that every little chance at me being happy with someone goes up in flames!

"That's a simple question." I pulled my hood down over my eyes trying to block out rage. "Raven you know the answer to that. You are a demon, a portal to the other world, you are here to kill, and no one can ever love your true nature, even if you run from it." Rage started to laugh and my nails dug deep into the earth as tears spilled from my eyes.

She's right. "Please, just leave me ALONE!" With my raised voice my body jolted itself back to the tower and I immediately passed out from exhaustion.

I woke up to the alarm sounding. I jumped out of bed and ran out into the lobby only to find out that the alarm had went off because someone was standing right in front of the tower. Robin flipped open his laptop, since I destroyed the big screen and accessed the security camera.

"No it can't be." Robin's voice was barely a whisper but every crowded around him. Starfire flew backwards and immediately opened the door and pulled the blond into her arms, "Terra! Friend of mine you are alive and not a rock!"

Beastboy stood with his mouth wide open and I watched as his eyes connected with Terra's and he whispered her name in a tone that I wish he had used with me. Starfire let go of Terra and Beastboy scooped her up in his arms and they kissed. Cyborg hooted and Robin smirked whilst Starfire jumped up and down in excitement.

I felt my heart break and I could feel my powers slipping away from me. I turned and ran up to my room, nobody noticed my quick departure. I grabbed my books and shrunk them into a suit case then grabbed my mirror and transported out of the tower to the beach to wait for Slade.

I looked at my teen titan communicator, it was only 9 am. I quickly destroyed the thing and sat down on the sand waiting for 12 to roll around.

I started to meditate in order to stop the waves from shooting into the air whenever I thought of Beastboy, and that was a lot.

"Miss?" I turned around to see an old butler standing alongside a limo holding the door open for me. I looked up at him, "Um, I'm fine just waiting for someone." I turned back around to continue meditating but my eyes snapped open when the old man picked up my bag. "Sorry, Miss Raven, but Master Wilson told me to come get you at 12 and I need to do what he says." I frowned, "Wilson?" He nodded and I sat down in the limo and watched as he started to drive.

"Oh, Miss Raven?" I looked up at him, "Yes?" He kept his eyes on the road, "Master Wilson requests that you open your present." I looked to my side and saw a small black bag with a deep orange wrapping paper sticking out of it. I dug through it and found the golden bracelet, along with a note.

Rae, babes,

Please put on the bracelet for me, it will prevent the titans from tracking your powers and it will help trust me.

Slade

I snapped the bracelet on then felt my powers reside and suddenly I could cry and wail and not have to worry about it. I leaned against the window loving the feeling of being able to show my emotions and I drifted off into sleep.

I woke up to the sound of voice but for kicks and giggles I kept my eyes closed. "She fell asleep and I didn't want to wake her but Sir I can't very well carry her in." The first voice I recognized as the butler.

"Don't worry Wintergreen, I will." Now he sounded like Slade, but less mechanical, like the mask was off.

I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me and pull me against a warm chest.

I felt so at home that I feel back asleep with my head snuggled into Slade.

--Ember—

So what do you guys think? Am I doing a good job with the Challenge or what? Anyway trust me there will be a lot of yelling and fighten between raven and Slade… It's not going to be all lovey dovey for a while.
