A/N: Thankies for the kind reviews.
TTfans4eva: Actually I kind of agree that long chapters can bore readers down (coz I'm a reader too). I will try to break down the very long chapters.
fluffy pink bunny: I was planning to write a story that happens before this, to show how Beast Boy and Raven start to discover their feeling for one another. Thank you for your review.
Agent of the Divine One: Thank you for your kind review, actually my story is not that well written. I almost cried when I read your review too, thank you so much.
Something really bad happens in this chapter, but please everyone, don't flame me (pretty please). I won't hold you guys up any longer, it's time to get what you came for.
Chapter 7- Shattered
"Raven wake up, it's time for your medicine." Beast Boy said, rocking her body.
"I've been taking it for days, I don't want it anymore." Raven mumbled sleepily, not wanting to open her eyes.
"Come on Rae, I'll feed you. Robin says this herbal remedy will speed up your recovery, you must continue taking it."
"I don't want. It's bitter." Raven said willfully, covering her face with her blanket.
"Today's one won't be bitter, really" he coaxed, pulling away her blanket. Raven felt something press onto her mouth and it ejected small mouthfuls of medicine into her mouth. She swallowed slowly and opened her eyes when that thing left her mouth. Beast Boy took a big mouthful of the medicine and slanted his mouth over hers. Raven blushed when she realized Beast Boy was feeding her with his mouth.
"I was afraid using a dropper or a funnel will make you choke on the medicine, so I decided to use the traditional method." Beast Boy said, grinning. He took another mouthful of the black liquid and placed his mouth over Raven's. She kept on swallowing, still in a state of shock, not knowing what to do.
"This is the last one Rae." Beast Boy said, pouring the remaining liquid into his mouth, emptying the bowl. Raven took it in slowly, enjoying every moment. Her eyes flew open when something rough touched her tongue. Beast Boy was leaning down, kissing her. She quickly pushed him away, forcing their lips to part.
"Beast Boy, you burnt your tongue!" Raven exclaimed worriedly, examining his tongue.
"Haha guess that kiss was real hot." he joked. "Well, Robin said you must take it while it is hot so I didn't cool it before feeding you."
"Does it hurt?" Raven asked softly, her features drawn into a frown.
"It does not hurt as long as I'm doing it for my Raven." Beast Boy said with a smile. Raven lifted her head up and began licking his tongue gently, wanting to ease the pain. Beast Boy got on top of Raven and started kissing her. Raven entered his mouth and began exploring timidly, gently touching the corners in his mouth. She relaxed when she got the hang of it. Beast Boy pushed Raven's tongue back into her own mouth and entered after her. Raven could feel herself melting as Beast Boy tasted her, his tongue licking the sides of her mouth. He slid his tongue over hers trying to entwine their tongues together.
Beast Boy placed his hand on Raven's body and moved up to her chest. He cupped her breasts with both hands and began rubbing the hardening nubs of her nipples through her leotard and the cloth bra she was wearing. Raven moaned into Beast Boy's mouth as they were still in the middle of a fierce kiss. She could feel something in her burning as Beast Boy rubbed her sensitive nipples. Beast Boy broke off from the kiss to take a breath before proceeding to kiss Raven's neck furiously.
"Oh…Beast Boy." Raven moaned in pleasure as she felt Beast Boy's hot ragged breaths on her neck. He was still rubbing her breasts, wanting Raven to be aroused. She wrapped her legs around his waist and raked her fingers through his green hair. Raven closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensations, knowing they were going to do it as she felt Beast Boy rising, a bulge in his pants.
She opened her eyes as Beast Boy's belt beeped. Beast Boy swore as he pulled out his communicator. "What is it now?" he yelled at the gadget, with Robin on the screen.
"Er…trouble." Robin said in a small voice, taken aback by an angry Beast Boy.
"I'll be there in a minute." he yelled, snapping the communicator shut. "I'll be back as soon as I can Rae. Rest well, don't tire yourself okay." he said gently, standing up.
"You too Beast Boy. Take care and be careful." Raven said softly, wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning on his chest. He stroked her head affectionately and leaned down to kiss her on the lips.
"I will my queen." he said with a smile and left the room. Raven took out her communicator and saw the leader, still in a state of shock.
"Raven what's wrong with Beast Boy? He looks as if he would kill."
"We were just having a romantic moment and you totally ruined it."
"Oh no, then I'll be dead meat." said Robin, swallowing hard at that thought.
"It's okay Robin, at most I'll ask Beast Boy not to chop your body into pieces." Raven joked.
Raven opened her eyes slowly and rubbed them so that her vision was clear. She had been sleeping for six long hours that she had missed lunch. She walked out of the room to see if the others had returned. But Raven was alone in the tower, the others were still out, fighting criminals. She made her way to the kitchen and got herself a cup of tea.
Raven stood up to leave the table when she finished her tea. She looked over at the sink, which was filled with dirty dishes. She washed the dishes, wiped them dry and put them back in place.
'It's the least I can do for them.' she smiled, happy that she could still contribute to the team. She went upstairs, to Beast Boy's room when an idea struck her.
Beast Boy walked up the stairs wearily, exhausted from the battle. He just wanted to have a quick bath before taking his dinner and ten to sleep. He entered his room and rubbed his eyes in disbelief as his room did not look like his room anymore. Everywhere was spick and span. There was no dirt or dirty socks or clothes around. The blankets were neatly folded and everything was neatly in place.
"Surprise!" Raven threw her arms around Beast Boy and gave him a warm smile as she appeared out of his wardrobe.
"Raven, get off." Raven's smile faded and let go of him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Did I hurt you or are you hurt?" she asked out of concern, looking at his body, checking for cuts and bruises.
"I didn't mean to be harsh Rae, I'm sorry. I just don't want to dirty your clothes."
"Plasmus?" Raven asked, looking at the purple goo on Beast Boy's clothes and her own leotard.
"And Cinderblock too, but Robin left the dirty work to me and Cy, while he and Starfire took Cinderblock."
"So he is back in one piece?"
"Just can't kill him. I'm a vegetarian remember, didn't have the heart to." Raven smiled at his joke.
"Now I can hug you as long as I want since the both of us are covered with goo." Raven said, hugging him tightly and leaning on his chest.
"Rae, you did this all for me?" Beast Boy asked, stroking her head. Raven nodded and looked up at him.
"I can't help fight villains so this is the least I can do" she blushed, "for you."
"I don't want you to tire yourself Raven. You must have spent at least three hours cleaning my room."
"But I'm happy to do it for you."
"You just got well, I don't want you to strain yourself. Besides I always sleep in your room, there's no need to clean mine."
"Maybe you are more used to your own room. We can sleep in your room sometimes."
"My bed is too small for the two of us. It will be crammed if we sleep together."
"Then you must hug me tighter so that I do not fall out of bed." Beast Boy tightened his grip on her and kissed her soft lips.
"I won't let you go no matter what. You are all mine." He said with a smile. "I must take a bath now. You too Raven." Beast Boy said, looking at her sweat and goo stained leotard.
Beast Boy entered Raven's room quietly, not wanting to disturb her. She was hovering over her bed, sitting in a lotus position. She was deeply into meditation, her eyes closed and her cloak fluttering gently.
"Raven it's late, you better get some rest." Raven opened her eyes and lowered herself onto the bed. "Er I was hoping we could sleep in my room since it is clean now." Beast Boy requested, looking at her hopefully.
"Of course we will, silly. I would be glad to spend the night in your cozy room." She gave him a warm smile and took his hand.
They were at Beast Boy's door now, walking into the room. A box fell when Beast Boy's arm knocked into it. He gasped but heaved a sigh of relief as Raven caught it before the box hit the ground. Raven studied the heart-shaped plastic box. There was a heart-shaped mirror glued onto the lid when Raven opened it.
"Beast Boy, this box…"
"I'll throw it away!" he cut in and snatched the box away from her hands. "I'm sorry Rae." Beast Boy quickly apologized to the badly shaken girl. "Look Raven, keeping this box doesn't mean I still love her, it's just a memorial. The only one in my heart is you." he hugged her tightly, not wanting her to cry.
"Beast Boy, I know how much you love me. I can feel it. But you still love Terra, no matter how hard you try to deny it."
"Raven, I'll try to forget her. Don't cry okay?" he said softly, stroking her head gently.
"You don't have to, I don't mind if you still love her. It's hard to forget someone you love so much." Guilt stung Beast Boy's heart as Raven's voice quavered.
"Rae, I'm sorry."
"Even if Terra comes back one day, and you decide to choose her, I won't mind. I respect your decision." Raven bit her lip. "I just want you to be happy."
"Even if Terra comes back one day, I would still want to be with you Raven. No girl will ever love me the way you do and no girl will ever make me feel the way I feel for you. I love you Rae."
"You don't have to humour me. I know my limits. I know I can't compare with Terra. She is always laughing at your jokes, she is always making you happy. I can't make you happy, I always make you cry, make you angry. I can't do anything to make you happy, what kind of girlfriend am I?" Raven yelled, her body trembled.
"Don't say that Rae. I do not compare you and Terra. Both of you are different people with different personalities."
"Maybe we are not suitable for each other. Maybe…you should just let me go." Raven pushed him away, trying to get out of his grip. Beast Boy hugged her so tightly, his tears fell onto her hair.
"How can you ever doubt my love to you? Look at me!" he yelled. Raven shook her head, holding her head down. "I said look at me!" Raven raised her tear-stained face timidly. Beast Boy's heart broke when he saw the fear in those violet eyes.
"I'm sorry…I don't doubt your love to me. I just…I'm not worthy of your love. At least Terra was a human…I'm just a demon who doesn't expect anyone to even like me. I never felt so scared…so scared…of losing someone, of losing…you." She whispered in a quivering voice, looking into his emerald eyes. Beast Boy leaned down to kiss her eyes, not wanting Raven to cry again.
"You may be a demon Raven, but you are more human than anyone I have ever known. You can't feel but you have to live with other people's feelings. Even though you don't show it, you feel more than others. In my heart you are always a selfless and caring angel."
"Beast Boy." she cried into his chest, soaking his shirt with her tears.
"Rae, I'm the one who is always making you cry. I don't want to see you so sad. I want you to be happy. I cherish our relationship. I love you." He kissed her trembling lips. "Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm tired, let's get to bed." Beast Boy gave her a smile and carried Raven to his bed.
"Beast Boy, I love you. Don't ever leave me." Raven said softly, her arms around his waist.
"I won't leave you no matter what. Even if you don't want me, I'll still be by your side" he gave her a grin, wrapping his arms around her. "And I won't let you fall out of bed." Beast Boy's grin turned into a coy smile as he pulled Raven close to him.
"Raven! Raven!" a voice called out. Raven opened her eyes slowly and focused on the person who called her.
"Robin, what are you doing here? Why are your hands and legs chained to the wall?"
"All of us are. I don't know how we got here but someone must have captured us." Raven looked at her own hands and legs. They were chained, like Robin's, who was on her left. She turned to her right and saw the green Titan, who was unconscious.
"Can't you break it?" Raven asked the boy wonder.
"Can't, it's too strong. But I think Star can." Robin turned to his left and called out to Starfire, who was also unconscious.
"Beast Boy! Beast Boy wake up!" Raven called out, hoping he was alright.
"Raven…I wanna hug you longer." he mumbled in his sleep.
"Beast Boy wake up!" his eyes finally shot open.
"What happened? Why are we chained here?"
"I don't know. When I woke up we were already chained here. Is Cyborg alright?" Beast Boy turned to his right to check on the metal Titan.
"He's out of power so he can't move at all."
"Friends, are we having a ceremony? Why are we all on the wall?" Starfire asked.
"Starfire, can you please try to break the chains?" Robin requested. Starfire summoned up her strength and tried to pull her hand free from the chain.
"I cannot Robin, it's too strong."
"Let me try then." Beast Boy said with a grin. He closed his eyes and concentrated hard. But everything was still the same, he was still in his human form. "I can't morph at all!"
"My starbolts are also not working!" Starfire cried, trying to summon her powers.
"Do you guys think I would be stupid enough to let you have your strength and powers?" a voice boomed out from nowhere.
"Slade!" Robin's eyes narrowed as that name left his mouth.
"Very good Robin, you still remember your master."
"You set Cinderblock and Plasmus out so that we would be exhausted before fighting you."
"I must say I'm impressed. Very observant Robin, but not observant enough to detect the knock out gas I released in your tower."
"Let me go if it's me you wish to fight."
"No, no Robin. Fighting is not my cup of tea at this moment. Or else I wouldn't have injected all of you with these special formulas of mine to remove your strength and powers. Don't worry Robin, it's specially designed for each and every one of you. There are no side effects."
"What are you planning?" Robin snapped.
"Do you really think I would answer you every time you ask? Patience Robin, it's going to be a riddle this time. I'll give the clue and you will have to solve the puzzle."
"This is between you and me Slade. Let my friends go!"
"I'm afraid not Robin, I'm not interested in you now. But your pretty girlfriend does seem quite attractive to me."
"I won't join you and I won't help you fight!" Starfire yelled at Slade.
"Fierce and strong, yet so naïve. What a strange combination, but I like it." Slade said, letting out an evil laugh. He raised his hand to touch her face.
"Get your filthy hands off her." Robin snapped, trying to break the chains.
"Go away!" Starfire screamed.
"Leave her alone Slade. Take me instead!" someone shouted. Slade turned around.
"Oh, how brave of you to save your dear friend. But you don't know what trouble you are getting yourself into." He walked towards the person. "Dark, creepy, nothing but pure evil. Yet so noble." Slade stepped over and ran his fingers through her violet hair. "I love you even more."
"If you dare to hurt Raven, I'm going to kill you!" Beast Boy growled.
"Oh my, my and how do you intend to even touch me? Another couple in the Titans? How lovely. But I'm afraid your little threat has made me even more interested in your girlfriend." Slade pressed a button on his arm. Raven's chains opened and she fell onto the floor. He carried her and started walking away. Raven tried to push him away, but there wasn't any strength left in her body.
"Raven! Let her go you monster. Don't hurt her, take me instead! Raven, no!" Beast Boy yelled as the door closed behind Slade.
"Kill me if you want, don't hurt my friends."
"Why should I kill you Raven? I still have use for you, my precious." Slade put Raven down on the floor.
"I won't be your apprentice and I won't help you do anything!" Raven snapped.
"Relax Raven. Soon you're going to be mine." Slade let out an evil smile and pinned Raven to the ground. Vine-like ropes shot out from the ground and bound her hands to the ground. Raven felt weak, she could not even move her limbs. Slade opened her legs wide and the same vines shot out and wrapped around her ankles.
"Let me go!" Raven cried in fear. Ignoring her cries, Slade ripped off the sleeves of her leotard and touched her face.
"Never knew you were so beautiful my dear Raven. It's always the low profile ones who have the true substance isn't it?" He moved his hands to her arms "and your skin is so smooth." he commented, touching her well-toned arms. Slade pulled out her red broach and let her cloak fall. He tore off the neck of her leotard, exposing her shoulders.
"Get off me, or I will kill myself. I'll bite my tongue off if you touch me again!" Raven threatened.
"It's none of my concern, whether you are dead or alive."
"Try me then Slade. I know you don't like losing your prey."
"My, my you sure do understand me. But I won't let you die alone my dear Raven. I'll send someone with you." Slade snapped his fingers. A compartment in the wall opened and someone chained to the wall appeared.
"Beast Boy!"
"Slade you evil creep! Let Raven go!" Beast Boy yelled.
"How rude, I'm inviting you for a free show."
"You creature…I aaah!" Beast Boy screamed as a whip hit him.
"Stop, don't hurt him!" Raven pleaded as the sladebot whipped Beast Boy continuously, causing him to scream in pain.
"Then do whatever I say. Be a good girl and I might spare him."
"I…" Raven hesitated, on the verge of tears.
"If you don't do it, I'll get others. There's an instant one outside, your pretty friend Starfire."
"Please, stop!" Raven yelled when she saw Beast Boy suffering, there was blood on his shirt. "I'll do whatever you say!" Slade signaled for the sladebot to stop.
"Rae…no…don't care…about me…" Beast Boy cried out, trying to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry Beast Boy. Just be safe." she closed her eyes, tears rolled down her pale cheeks.
"Good Raven." Slade said, patting Raven on her head. "Bet you have never seen her naked body before, have you? Here's a sneak preview." He said to Beast Boy. Slade ripped Raven's leotard into shreds, leaving her in her undergarments. "How beautiful" he commented after he undid her bra and taking off her panties.
"You…despicable cad!" Beast Boy shouted angrily, trying to break free from the chains. Raven screamed as Slade slid into her, tears poured out of her eyes as pain surged through her body.
"Scream Raven. I want to know how excited you are. Hahaha come on, scream as loud as you can!"
"Raven!" Tears flowed out of Beast Boy's eyes when he heard Raven screaming in pain.
"Beast Boy…help…aahh!"
"No use calling to your boyfriend. He is too weak to even save himself, let alone protect you."
"Raven!" Beast Boy yelled, struggling so hard that the chains cut into his flesh.
"No wonder you love her so much. She's…really…good" Slade commented, his breathing getting more and more uneven. He let his hands roam freely, touching every part of Raven's body.
"Beast…Beast…Boy…" Raven whispered before passing out.
"You psychopathic creature, what did you do to her?" Beast Boy hollered angrily even though his hands ached so much.
"Guess it was too hot for her to bear. Silly girl, does she really think that I will spare all of you?" Slade said, walking towards Beast Boy.
"You creep!" Beast Boy yelled and pounced at Slade, breaking the chains on his hands and legs. Slade backed off and ran to the exit.
"This is just the beginning, I will be back!" Slade's voice echoed. Beast Boy wanted to give chase but stopped when he saw the unconscious Raven. He ran over to her and wrapped her cloak around her naked body.
"Raven, I'm sorry." Tears fell onto Raven's face as he cradled her limp form in his arms. But it was all too late…
A/N: erm as I said please don't flame me (sorry everyone that it had to be this way).
How will the Teen Titans react to this? And how will Beast Boy and Raven be affected by it? Will they still be together, or will they break up?
Stay tune to the next chapter of NIGHTMARE to find out.
