Trouble in Paradise
Chapter 2: Forlorn Nights
Disclaimer: Sadly...I don't own the Teen Titans.
Before I continue this chapter, I would like to thank those who reviewed my first chapter, YOU'RE THE BEST! If you're still interested, you can review this one as well! Thanks so much! I'll try to make this chapter longer, please review and tell me your opinion; constructive criticism is welcome.
Note: I appreciate constructive criticism, not destructive criticism, if I receive this instead of critiquing, I'm going sniff you out and flame your ass off, literally. Thanks in advance!
"You can give it to Starfire, I refuse to attend..." Raven's eyes darted around the room nervously, her brain desperately wanting to escape, and hide in the sanctity of her room, but her feet remained glued to the floor.
While biting her lip, Starfire stepped forward and placed her hand on Raven's slim shoulder. She dreadfully desired to go to that banquet, but this was her friend, she had to sacrifice her pleasures sooner or later. "For us would you go to the royal dance?"
"Send them my regards..." Raven's fingers fidgeted with her cloak idly as she turned away from her comrades and retreated from the room, her light footsteps fading; her bedroom door clicking shut behind her.
The titans watched Raven's body fade through the solid walls of the titan tower.
"I don't understand it...why doesn't she want to attend with us..?" Beast boy's ears steamed with impatience.
"Raven does not like the same fun as we do" Starfire commented, watching her feet intently, guilt burning her skin. She couldn't believe she was even considering going without her companion.
"Maybe someone should to talk to her..." Robin suggested, suddenly feeling the urge to cry, Raven seemed so trapped in her position; she didn't want to attend in the least, yet her closest friends were dying to go (or at least one of them).
"It may be a tough decision for her to make, maybe we should all go..." Cyborg choked, afraid to know the look on Raven's face if they had all stampeded into her room, trying to convince her to go.
"I shall lead, for it was my fault that she feels like a glorgalsmork" Starfire stepped into the corridor where each of the titans' bedrooms were located.
The four anxious titans froze in front of Raven's bedroom door. Even Starfire's gently rapping on the door was enough to make anyone grab their security blanket and call for their mommy in fear of Raven's reaction.
Raven's door creaked open and the foyer was flooded with darkness. The titans cowered together before peering behind the metal doorframe into the dreary dungeon.
Starfire's pleased expression for knocking quickly disappeared when she gazed into the shadows of the room.
Robin found himself drifting farther into the room, with Starfire clinging to his left bicep and shivering like she had just fallen into a lake in Alaska.
"There's some pretty nifty stuff in here" Beast boy began to reach out to grasp one of the glowing books on the shelf before screeching as Robin snatched his wrist.
"Don't touch anything!" He hissed and continued exploring, ignoring Starfire's curious expression that was directed towards him.
"Yeah BB, remember the last time we started touching belongings that weren't ours in here?" Cyborg gestured for Beast boy to follow him as the titans crossed the room.
After searching the room thoroughly, they found that there was no trace of Raven to speak of, not even her swathe. The titans originally nervous expressions became panicked, Raven had disappeared!
"Maybe she just went out to get some air" Beast boy's smile was hopeful, but his expression was far from cheerful or humorous as it frequently was.
Robin's eyes grazed the room, no, she had to be there! She couldn't have gone far! "WE HAVE TO SEARCH FOR HER!" Robin's voice bellowed throughout the tower and pointed a trembling finger towards the doorway.
"There's no use, she could be anywhere!" Cyborg put a comforting hand on Robin's unnerved form. "We'll just wait up for her to come home, if she doesn't come home by tomorrow, we'll go out and search for her."
"That is a wonderful idea Cyborg!" Starfire chirped, regaining her cheerful exterior. But her emerald green eyes were reflecting her emotions differently.
"Come on guys, I'll go make us some food, and we'll just relax until she gets home" Beast boy quickly left the gloominess of the room into the dim hallway with Cyborg trailing behind him calling something about 'no tofu'.
"Are you coming to eat a meal Robin?" Starfire tugged at Robin's wrist impatiently. "Raven shall come home later tonight!" She smiled gently and made another gentle yank at his arm.
Robin was relutant to follow Starfire, who was humming to herself optimistically. His heart had began sinking like the titanic, all he could do was hope she was safe.
"Aren't you going to join us in a mindless game as usual?" Starfire interupted Robin's thoughts as he stared out the window intently, his eyes darting for a sign of Raven.
Starfire put her palm down on his head and began stroking Robin's jet black hair before he instantly recoiled from her touch and turned back to the window.
"Just let him be Starfire, he's just worried; we all are, she's our friend!" Cyborg stated calmly and turning back towards the game where Beast boy had blow up his ship while he was turned. "YOU LITTLE CHEATER!"
"I was taking advantage of the moment" Beast boy grinned one of his sly grins, the ones he made when he was sneaking pudding out of the fridge in the early hours.
The hours were passing by slower than ever, and the titans one by one were beginning to drift to a dreamless sleep, drapped across the couch in various positions. Robin sat wide awake on the windowsil, watching the rain pelt the window.
Tap tap
"Who is it?"
tap tap...
The tapping faded as the door crashed down and Raven's petite form collapsed onto the ground in a bloody heap.
"RAVEN!" Robin dashed to Raven's side and wraped his cape around her icy cold, torn body.
"what's..going on..?" Beast boy rubbed his eyes and fell off the couch at the sight of Raven's beaten body.
"She's still breathing, Beast boy, wake up Starfire and Cyborg, then get me the first aid and help me get her to a bed."
I know I know, it was a boring chapter, my apologies, the action hasn't started yet, I'm still working on it! Give me some credit! I hope it's an improvement!
