Raven teleported to the only place she could think of where no-one else, or their pesky emotions, would be for miles, the Gobi desert. Luckily, her new transformation was highly resistant to heat, being the form of a full demon, which are born in the fiery pits of hell. "Nice place here, no-else's uncontrolled emotions to pollute the air" the demonic voice in Raven said, "Except that there are no lifeforces to steal, I mean the rancid boys' will only last for so long and then the blinding hunger will return."
All the while the demonic voice was speaking, Raven was trying to see if she could change her body back, "I lived with that blinding hunger for years, since my father destroyed Azarath and force-fed me a lifeforce, and he thought I wouldn't be able to resist my darker nature, but I did." Raven said in an almost gloating manner to the voice.
"But you just did succumb to your darker side, Raven, you killed a boy, you let his lifeforce satisfy your hunger. It may not have been as soon as daddy would have liked, seeing as we did vanquish him, but you finally let your soul fall further into the darkness." The demonic voice of Raven laughed, feeling Ravens despair, then suddenly Raven interrupted the voices laugh with, "The titans will help me, Beast Boy will help me escape the darkness, he told me I was never alone."
This made the voice laugh even louder, "You think the Titans will help someone who has killed a boy. You know Robins attitude, Raven, so black and white is his world. To him, if you do something even the slightest bit wrong your evil and must be brought to justice. You have committed the cardinal sin, Raven you killed; he will not hesitate to bring us down."
"No" Raven breathed her eyes widening, realising her demon side was right about Robin.
"Don't worry they'll never find us until we're ready. I made sure to leave the communicator behind and that's the only thing Cyborg can track." came the cocky demonic voice. Raven felt like crying and she would have, but her new pupil-less, pitch-black eyes couldn't cry, which just showed she wasn't even half-human anymore.
She lowered her chin to her knees and whispered, "I'm sorry guys. I'll miss you, I'm sorry, I wasn't brave enough to tell you how I felt Beast Boy, even after I stopped Trigon." and with that she drifted off into an emotionless sleep.
"Oh we'll see them again Raven, but we'll make sure I'm in control for that." The demonic voice said so quietly that even Ravens now super-sensitive hearing, which heightened during her transformation, could pick up on it.

"No, Rae's not a criminal. Something's just wrong. She is probably in danger!" Beast Boy whimpered, his eyes shinning with unshed tears.
"No, Beast Boy" Robin shook his head, "She killed a man. Next time we see her, we will have to put her in jail." It was clear by Robin's voice he felt t was his duty to take Raven down.
"Beast Boy, man, if Raven had done almost anything else bad, I would be defending her, but" Cyborgs voice broke off as if thinking, "She killed a man, dude, and then to make it worse, she taunted the body, that's just wrong man." Cyborg shook his head to clear the image of the lifeless man being covered up with a sheet, 'even if he was a criminal he didn't deserved to be murdered.' thought Cyborg.
"But it wasn't Raven, it was a part of her, but it wasn't Raven, like me and the Beast, the beast was a part of me, but it wasn't me!" Beast Boys voice was urgent as he tried to convince the leader of his team to not to prejudge Raven.
"I agree with friend Beast Boy" Starfire interrupted the boys conversation, "We must help friend Raven and not harm her"
"Fine" Robin snapped as his resolve broke at his crushes determination for Raven, "We'll judge her the next time we she her, if she comes to us, her friends, for help we'll give it. But if she hurts anything, or anyone, instead we will take her down, no questions asked. Right, Beast Boy?" questioned Robin his eyes narrowed at the green teen.
Beast Boy's eyes lowered to the floor "Right" he replied with a sulky edge to his voice, 'I will never hurt Raven not even for all the tofu in the world, she isn't the only one with an uncontrollable side.' thought Beast Boy.
