Chapter 4- Raven's fear and Beast Boy's love
She screamed untill her throat ached and kept screaming untill she had no voice at all. She pushed despretly on walls and wept and finally was able to calm down enough to sit in the middle of the room and pretend the walls were staying where they were supposed too. Nobody knew about her fear of small places. NOBODY. How did Tera find out? Raven took a deep breath and let it out slowly before standing up and looking around. The light in the room was dim and cast a white glow over the teen now struggling for sanity.
"I'll be okay. I'll find a way out." She whispered softly and finally found some form of calm. She stood for a few moments then sat down and tried to think of a way to get out.
Robin sat in the living room, watching out of the large window and trying to make logic work with the situation. He knew that Tera was lying. She had to be. Raven wouldn't just leave like that, would she? Of coruse not. Starfire was still in hysterics and Cyborg and Beast Boy were out looking for her. He hadn't seen Tera since she had told them about Raven. Robin sighed and turned, deciding to go check Raven's room for a clue of where she would be.
"Maybe if we get lucky she'll be there..." He murmured though he knew she wouldn't be. As he headed out of the room he suddenly stopped. Tera walked past him and smiled kindly.
"Where ya going?" She asked like nothing was happening.
"To check Raven's room for clues of where she is." Robin replied, staring to walk again. He didn't want her knowing that he was suspicious of her but that didn't mean he had to be nice to her. Tera went pale, though Robin didn't see it, and turnedd, chasing after him.
"I just checked in her room. You don't need to. There's nothing there." She said quickly, her cheeks now flushed red. Robin eyed her upsetly then kept walking.
"Sorry but I think I'll check myself." He said, his voice dismissing her like only a leader's voice could. Tera opened her mouth to say something else then shook her head and turned, going back to the living room quickly. Robin got onto the elevator and rode it up to Raven's room. He stood in the hallway outside of her room and rose his hand to knock.
She's not there stupid....He thought, mentally slapping himseslf before simply walking into the room. It was dim and a statue of the comedy and tragedy masks sat in the middle of the room, seeming like it took up an immense amount of space though it didn't. The bed was made up tidily and the bathroom and closet doors were shut. Robin walked into the room slowly and peered around, though nothing stood out. Walking forward slightly his foot caught something and he looked down.
Raven was pulled from her thoughts when she heard walking on the floor above her. She started screaming again though she had little of a voice left.
"HELP! WHOEVER IS UP THERE!?!?!?!?! HELP ME!!!!!!" She screamed despretly then collapsed back onto the ground, hopeless.
"Please help me."
Robin examined the ground where something had caught his foot and frowned. He couldn't see anything but maybe if he reached down and felt...
"Robin!" Starfire flew into the room and Robin jerked up quickly, feeling like he had done something wrong. Tera appeared in the doorway as well and watched the two. Robin didn't want to examine the floor with Tera there so instead he turned to Starfire.
"What do you need?" He asked impatiently.
"Cyborg and Beast Boy are back. They found nothing." Starfire replied sadly and Robin nodded, already having known they wouldn't find her. He had the feeling she was in the tower but where?
"Robin we must find Raven! On my planet we would already have a whole army of Gloflargs out searching for one of our lost people!" She exclaimed, taking the stance of a soilder. Robin sighed and nodded once more, not really paying attention to her. Tera wasn't going anywhere, he could see that, and he decided that he would just have to investigate later.
"Let's go talk to the others."
The rest of the day passed uneventfully, other than the titans going out to search for Raven a few more times. Tera has vanished again for about half an hour and then come back looking extremely happy. Robin didn't trust her at this point but the others didn't seem to notice anything. Beast Boy was still in an extremely bad mood and Robin caught him alone in the kitchen at one point and decided to talk to him.
"You okay Beast Boy?" He asked, never really one for talking friendly about things. He really wasn't one to talk a lot.
Beast Boy merely nodded, really unlike him, and turned away.
"Look, Beast Boy, I know that this must be fruster-" He stopped talking as Beast Boy suddenly swung around and actually glared at him, something he would normally never do.
"No Robin, it's not frusterating. You want to know what is frusterating? Having the girl that your in love with hate you and having to settle for another girl that keeps hurting you!" He exclaimed suddenly and then thrust his finger at Robin angrily. "At least you know that Starefire is in love with you! I've liked Raven forever now and she hates me! NOT TO MENTION SHE JUST UP AND LEFT! No this isn't frusterating! It's way past it." Beast Boy finished his outburst then looked slightly embaressed but still angry and walked off quickly. Robin just stared after him and wondered if his team was going to fall apart.
Raven sat in the room, eyes closed and shivering slightly. That evil bitch had come back once more, insultin gher and scaring her even more before pressing a button and causing the room to grow colder. Then she had left again. Raven had since found a way to dig her finger into the floor and create a small scratch. She'd been monitering the hours as best she could by marking lines. Sighing she opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
"Let me out."
