Hate

His teeth suck deeper into her shoulder, his jaws finding bone. Raven gave a screamand then fell silent.

"NO!"

Beast Boy awoke in a pool of cold sweat. He tried to get out of bed, but he wasn't in his bed. His body was lying on the cold concrete. He was sprawled in an alley of Jump City. His head felt ready to burst, and his limbs, each and every one of them, felt about to drop off. He could hear the slow rumble of traffic in the background, the chatter of the human inhabitants outside of the alley where he lay. He raised a hand to his aching head. When he brought it back to his sight line, it was covered in blood. Beast Boy climbed tenderly to his feet. His very bones complained with his every move. He had to get back to the tower!

With that thought in his head, he began to move. His head way too much for him to think about transforming, but he tried it anyway. His eagle got a few feet up into the air before he transformed back into his human self. He fell five feet and hit the ground. Hard. His head erupted with aches again.

"So I have to hoof it, huh? Fine."

With that, he started walking. He really didn't want to walk all the way to Titan's Tower. To tell the truth, he was so used to flying everywhere, he had gotten kind of lazy. So that meant one thing. He had to call Cyborg. Beast Boy pulled out his communicator. It took five precious seconds to connect, and then Starfire's eager face appeared on it. She beamed when she saw who was calling.

"Friend Beast Boy! I am overjoyed to see your face. Why might you be calling? Do you wish to apologize to Raven?"

"It's on my list of things to do, Star. Where exactly are you, by the way?"

""Oh, we have returned home after Friend Raven was pronounced well."

Beast Boy's ears perked up. "She's better?"

"She has healed herself. But, Friend Beast Boy, our homecoming was not the happy arrival I had hoped."

"Oh? What happened, Star?"

"Perhaps it is better if I come to get you, Friend. There are things that need to be said in person."

"That's great, Star. I was just going to ask Cyborg to come get me."

"Friend Cyborg is...not available right now."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tower was quiet as Beast Boy and Starfire entered it. Beast Boy could sense that something was very wrong. He could still catch the tangy stench of blood. The air was silent as they entered the elevator. They rose several floors, before...

"What happened, Star, Why is everyone so quiet?" Starfire looked sadly toward her green friend, and then spoke. Beast Boy listened intently as she recounted the story

"Well, Raven? Welcome home!" said Cyborg, who was pleased to be back at the tower as well.

"Finally." muttered Raven. She felt as if she had been away from the tower for mouths, but it was really for thirty six hours.

"Raven, before you leave for your room, we need to talk..." started Robin, but Raven cut him off.

"It's about Beast Boy, isn't it?" She asked.

"Listen, Rae, he hurt you bad today, we just want to know if he's a threat now." said Cyborg.

Raven was silent for a minute, then...

"No."

Three pairs of eyes stared at her. She stared right back.

"It's true he attacked me, but he wasn't being himself. He sensed Terra's death, and was heartbroken. He needed someone to take it out on him. He chose me."

Starfire was a little too hopeful.

"So you forgive Friend Beast Boy?" the young Tameranian woman asked.

"No. I can never forgive him for this. I understand he was angry and hurt, but he had no right to attack me. I don't think we should treat him as a criminal, but my friendship with him is over. Now, I'm going to my room."

When Raven was gone, Starfire broke down. Robin went over to her, and she pulled him into his arms.

"Oh Robin, is it not terrible? Friends Beast Boy and Rae-"

"AHHHHH! NOOOO!"

"That's Cyborg!" yelled Robin, letting go of Starfire and racing into the next room.

Starfire and Robin entered the living room to find Cyborg sobbing on the floor, his hands clutched around something round. Robin walked over to him and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Cyborg..."

"Whoever did this will pay." said the cybernetic teen through gritted teeth. He rose to his feet and slowly offered the object to Robin. Robin took it. He stared at it for a second, before tossing it away with a cry of disgust. Starfire looked down at it to see what everyone was on about. What she saw made her breath run cold.

Bumblebee's ice blue eyes stared lifelessly up at them from her severed head.

Beast Boy looked at Starfire in shock as she finished her story. The young Tameranian looked about to go into shock.

"Oh shit. Star, are you alright?"

"I am fine, Friend Beast Boy, but I fear Friend Cyborg is not. He has left the tower and has not yet returned."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven sat on her bed, deep in meditation. She was trying to figure out her feelings for Beast Boy. She liked having him as a friend. Though she'd never admit it to his face, he was funny, and she really liked it how he'd try to make her smile. But that time had come and gone. He had attacked her. She could not forgive him for that. Ever! The more she thought about it, the more she hated him.

Now, more than ever, she wanted to hurt me, make him feel her pain. Yes, she would do that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin looked up as Beast Boy entered the room with Starfire. The green changeling looked ready to utter a word but Robin cut him off.

"Go to her."

"Dude, Robin..."

"She managed to convince us that you weren't a threat. Now go talk to her."

Beast Boy walked down the hall towards Raven's room. When he reached her door, he took a deep breath and knocked.

"Yes?" came her beautiful voice from within.

"It's me" He said.

"I don't want to talk to you Beast Boy. What you did today is unforgivable. You can't just say 'sorry' after something like that. Time has to heal it."

"But Robin told me to-"

Raven's door flew open, and the demoness herself stood in front of him. Her dark power was surrounding her. Her eyes alone were enough to make Beast Boy recoil.

"I said I don't want to talk to you, Beast Boy. Just leave me alone. I will never forgive you for this." her words were fast and harsh.

"Come on, Rae..." He started.

"Don't EVER call me Rae! And don't think I'll just forget this! We're not friends anymore, Beast Boy! Now don't talk to me again. I HATE YOU!"

With that, she slammed her door, leaving a very hurt and confused Beast Boy standing in the hall.

"Raven..."

A/N Ok, so, this has to do with all these, but there are always a few spelling or grammar errors I discover when I read these AFTER I post them. I know what you're thinking, why don't I proof read these? Well, I do. I just don't get everything. I wished I did, but I don't. I think another 2 or 3 chapters will finish this story. I hope this story is different from the other fanfics you guys have been reading. And I hope it's enjoyable for y'all. Leave some more nice comments. Peace

A/N Ok, here's the reason: my old computer DID NOT have Microsoft word on it. I know, weird. But my shiny new laptop does, so I'm proof reading all of these chapters.
