A rose to keep, craved by the fangs.

Cyborg and Robin arrive..

" BEAST BOY WHAT DID YOU DO?! " Robin yelled as he approached Beast Boy.

" I- I I don't know... Is she okay? " Beast Boy had a tear in his eye, and finally it escaped, leaving a trail down his face. He was scared and mad, all at himself. Beast Boy knew he couldn't control his primal side, and it was like two opposite people sharing this one body. If anything else happened to her, he would do whatever it takes to stop it. Even if it meant destroying himself.

" What do you mean you don't know?! This happened 10 minutes ago. YOUR PRIMAL SIDE IS HARMING ANOTHER TITAN. NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY BUT EMOTIONALLY, HOW DO YOU THINK SHE FEELS? HUH? SHE LOVES YOU AND YOUR FREAKING OTHER HALF BARGES IN LIKE THAT. You need to control it. " Robin was steaming, and his screaming echoed through the entire floor.

" Easy Robin, he didn't mean it. Right now we just need to see if both of them are hurt in anyway and try to fix this. It's his primal side we're talking about, it gave him powers but it has a price. " Cyborg was trying to calm everyone down.

" That's the problem. I can't control it, its like another person in me that comes out when it feels like it. You know I'd never hurt her like that. " Beast Boy hated himself, and was about to cry.

At the infirmary...

" Raven please be okay, I cannot bare to see you like this. " Starfire was truly concerned about her dear demon friend.

" I know. But right now I need to talk to him. There has to be a way to solve everything. There has to be. " Raven was determined to be with Beast Boy. She wasn't gonna let anything else delay it again. First Terra and now the one she loved.

" No please stay and rest friend, I believe it is best if you both do not see each other for a little while. " Starfire put her hand on Raven's shoulder.

" Sorry Star, but I have to this time. I need to. " Raven put her cape back on and floated through the halls back to Beast Boy's room. But then she stopped and turned back to her room, and entered the key code. When the door slid open she rushed to her bookcase looking for help. Finally she found a book. It was old and covered with dust, she blew on it and watched the title appear think and bold: SHAPE SHIFT.

She used her powers to flip through the book to find help and answers. Then the page appeared, the title was PRIMAL and she quickly scanned the page. It was a brief summary of primal sides and morphing into beasts, which were the exact things Beast Boy was capable of. The section that was labeled CURES AND SOLUTIONS was a sentence long, which stated;

The only known and recorded spell for a primal's cure can only be found in the Gallion Scrolls which is located in Azarath.

Raven shut the book, now she knew the only way was to visit her birthplace. Azarath. She thought about her mother Arella, who is now the guardian of the gate that imprisons Trigon. Oh how Raven missed her mother, she needed her guidance. Then she stopped and started to think about finding the Gallion scrolls, which were extremely rare. Raven looked through her books once more and found a piece of old paper with the legend of the Gallion scrolls. The legend stated that the scroll was hidden in the heart of Azarath. She had no idea where or what this 'heart' was, she needed Arella. Raven stopped, opened the book, and placed the legend inside the book and closed it. Now she made her way to Beast Boy's bedroom, determined to fight for what she loved.

Raven stood in front of his door, holding the ancient book close to her chest. Taking a deep breath, she slowly raised her fist and knocked on the door. Suddenly the green face she loved appeared, he was shocked she came to his room. Guilt and pain ran through his veins. How could he, a super hero, hurt anyone like that? Or even the mere fact that he thought about hurting someone. Especially the girl he loved. Before he could say anything Raven spoke softly..

" Can I come in? " She looked up and her eyes met his.

" Uhh yea.. " He gestured her into his torn up room. Cyborg and Robin were still in there, thinking about what had just happened.

" Robin, Cyborg, go. I need to talk to Beast Boy alone, now. " Raven was firm, but inside she wanted to cry.

" No way Raven, what if he shifts? " Robin wasn't going to back down, but then he saw the look on her face and realized that she needed to talk to Beast Boy. So he backed down and understood her feelings. Cyborg didn't say a word, but on his way out he patted Beast Boy's back to show him that it was alright. And that everything was gonna be okay. When both of the titans left, Raven sat next to Beast Boy on his bed. After a few moments of silence, she hugged him tightly with with compassion. Because she loved him.

" Raven... " Beast Boy was surprised, that even after all this, she loved him.

" Please, lets just forget about everything that happened okay. I love you, and after all we've been through I can finally say that I actually love you. I don't want anything to stop this, ever. " Raven let everything out and cried. She couldn't tell if they were tears of sorrow or happiness. Beast Boy wrapped his arms around her and comforted her.

" I know Rae, but I just can't stand the fact that I did that to you. I would nev- " Raven cut him off.

" Yes I know but I almost forgot to tell you that we may have a solution to this. I might be able to find a spell or ritual that controls your primal instincts. But I don't know if I could find it. I planned to ask my mother to help me, but I don't know if she can guide me in the right way. " Raven snuggled closer to Beast Boy's chest, still holding the ancient book but then setting it down on the bed next to them.

" Raven I know this might not be the best time but, will you be my little tofu? " Beast Boy smiled happily waiting for a reply.

" If by 'tofu' you mean girlfriend then my answer is yes. " Raven giggled, and Beast Boy smiled and watched her beautiful smile. Finally, for the first time he felt happier, holding the girl he always loved, which is now his girlfriend.

Raven felt his aura change, and it looked like his primal side merged with himself. So now what she thought? Is he, the one I loved, turning into the beast? Or was the beast linking to his soul to do the right thing? Because finally, the fangs kissed the rose.

With love? Maybe. Maybe not. You wouldn't know that yet.
