Thanks!

AureliusXsoul- yeah, I did kinda rush it. I hadn't updated in a while, so I guess I was trying to catch up.

Thanks!

Acosta perez jose Ramiro- you guessed right!!!!!

Thanks!

Crazy Sugar Girl- I think that I can say that I know how you feel. My school just finished the marking period, and my parents are going to get my report card fairly soon…… eek…

It's okay that you haven't been able to review for a while. I'd actually like it if you finished what you need to get done first before you read this… Beacause, like, I don't want 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 letters telling me that their kids are failing because they're reading fan fics…

Thanks!!

Alrighty then! Thanks for the reviews!! As pointed out by AureliusXsoul, I did rush the last chapter a bit, so I'll try not to this chapter.

And if I spell almost all of the words wrong, please accept my apology. I went to an activity thingy with my friend, and I stayed up literally all night!! Yawn…

Okay, also, soon, I am going to start editing this story. I was reading it to my mom a few weeks ago, and I started talking out loud about a mistake I had made and some of the typos.

Well, anyway, on with the next chapter!

Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9

Raven was paralyzed with fear. Her mind was screaming at her to run out of there, but her legs wouldn't respond. She couldn't move her eyes either. She stared into his face, almost as if she didn't, she would drop dead on the floor. But she was scared that even if she did keep eye contact, she'd drop dead on the floor, only instead with several fatal wounds, a pool of blood accompanying her.

Raven suddenly realized that she still had her hand touching the rose. She removed her hand quickly, taking a small step back. "I--I'm…"

"Did I not tell you to come in here?" Beast Boy snarled. The utmost anger in his voice made chills go down Raven's spine. She was screaming in her mind, but she had somehow now become mute. Her brain had basically broken down, making the Fight or Flight reflex useless.

"I…just…"

"Get out!" he yelled.

Raven didn't move, unless you count her hands shaking, or her heart beating, giving off major amounts of adrenalin.

"GET OUT!!!" Beast Boy roared.

Raven's brain finally got the point. She spun around and ran. But in the process, she tripped over her feet. She fell, her head running into one of the torn off table legs. She was able to pull herself back up fairly quickly, feeling a small amount of blood crawling down her face from her temple.

She ran down the stairs, trying not to trip again. She was getting out. Now. She didn't care about her promise. She didn't care if she got lost out in the woods. Anywhere, maybe even with Adonis, was better than here.

"Raven?" It was Starfire. "Raven, where are you--?"

"I'm leaving!" Raven yelled, barely slowing down. "I'm not coming back!"

"But Raven!" Starfire called. "It is dangerous!"

"LOOK AT ME!" Raven screamed. She turned around, seeing Starfire gasp at her blood. "What hap--"

"Ask your Master!" Raven spat out. She returned to running, her blood trailing down her neck now.

She saw the door a few steps down. She was only a few steps from freedom.

"Raven!" the two male objects shouted at her. "What were you thinki--"

"SHUT UP AND GET A FREAKING LIFE!!!" Raven shouted at them. They remained silent, glancing at her blood.

Raven continued onward, ignoring the others. The whole entire world could have been staring at her at that moment, and she wouldn't have cared. The only thing she had her sights on was the door.

She finally reached her destination. She threw open the doors, greeting a storm. Lightning flashed occasionally, rain pounding down. She rushed out, the rain drops hitting her face, making her wound sting slightly. Strands of her hair fell in to her face, making it more difficult to see as she continued forwards. Her skirt stuck to her legs slightly, and her cape… her cape!

Raven stopped for a moment, staring back at the castle. She had accidentally left her cape and brooch in it. But deep inside, she was scared to return. But it was her mothers! How could she have forgotten it? Raven continued forward, tears joining in with the rain. She had to leave it. She knew that her mother would understand.

She kept on running for minutes on end. She panted, the cold rain giving her the feeling that it was cutting into her skin. She ran, almost tripping over stray tree roots every once in a while. After a few more minutes, she ran in to another tree root, but her body gave up on her. She collapsed, falling into the mud. It splattered on her face and into her mouth, causing her to spit it out and cough. Her heart gave her the feeling that it was either going to explode or push its way out of her chest.

She didn't try to get back up. She simply just broke down. Tears streamed down her face, her hair accompanying it. She had a headache, somewhat lacking oxygen from running and now sobbing. She felt herself on the brink of consciousness. She felt her eyes slowly closing, feeling her body feel light…

But then a howl cut through the air. Raven's eyes shot back open, her heart beating even faster now. She quickly got back to her feet, and began to run. She felt like she was going to suffocate, but knew that the only way that she was going to live now was if she ran as fast as she could.

But she knew that she was in serious trouble. Even if she did escape the wolves, where was she to go? She had no idea where she was or which way she had to go to get back to the castle. She'd be trapped in wide open spaces, and she would just be found by the wolves again, and die. She was now basically just in a lose or fail situation.

She ran for who knows how long, trying to ignore her weariness. She knew that if she paid attention to her tiredness, she would only give in to it faster.

But suddenly, she tripped. She put her hands up to defend herself from whatever she would run in to, and her hands met with extremely rough tree bark. She felt her skin being torn as she fell as she screamed. She finally met the forest floor, meeting a tree root. It met her wound and reopened it, making it far more painful and possibly a little bigger.

Raven couldn't get back up. She was now far too weak. She instead felt around until she found a stray branch. She grabbed it and swung it around her. She saw the wolves closing in, staring at the branch, giving her the reply that the branch was only simply an annoyance to them. Raven decided to keep on trying her inadequate technique against the wolves, but this time, she tried hitting the wolves in the face. Now, the wolves were extremely angry. She tried hitting another one of the wolves on the snout, but instead got the branch torn from her hands.

One of the wolves jumped. It was going to land on her, and she knew it. She got into a fetal position, and prepared for the worst… But instead of being clawed, she heard a chopping sound of the wolf's jaws, and then a whimper.

Raven looked back up and saw something holding the wolf up in the air. Then, at that moment, a flash of lightning crawled across the sky, and revealed the figure of a monster. It was Beast Boy. He threw the wolf back behind him, and at the same time, about four wolves jumped on to his body. He roared in pain, but in the end threw the others wolves off like the last one. The thrown wolves cowered away with some of the others, but some stayed, hoping to get a good meal.

Raven couldn't see much of the rest of the battle, but she could hear it perfectly. Roars of pain; whines from the wolves; barking; objects running into something else. Raven stayed where she was, shivering slightly.

Finally, the noise stopped. She could hear panting and the wolves scampering away. Then, something collapsed. Another bolt of lightning trailed across the sky, showing Beast Boy on the ground. Raven gasped. "She wanted to ask him if he was okay, but admitted to herself that it was probably a very stupid question. If he was okay, why would he be on the ground?

"Beast Boy," Raven said quietly, "are you…"

"Sure," Beast Boy answered. It was somewhat sarcastic, but far more tired sounding.

"I know," Raven said, "stupid question…"

There were a few moments of silence. It was soon broken by Beast Boy lifting up his hand and saying, "Here."

Raven looked at what he was holding, and saw her cape. "I'm sure you'll want this."

Raven took it. She actually couldn't believe it. She had disobeyed him, and he had screamed at her, yet he had done this for her. He had saved her life and returned her cape to her.

"Thank you," Raven said.

"The town is that way," Beast Boy said, pointing in a direction. "You should leave now…" His voice trailed of as his hand fell back down to the ground.

Raven looked to the way that Beast Boy had indicated. She longed to go back and see her father again. She got to her feet, another bolt of lightning cracking through the sky. Thunder rolled after, causing her to jump a little.

Beast Boy had saved her life….

She walked up to Beast Boy's body and pulled him up. Beast Boy, she was fairly sure of, was not going to be a light load. But somehow, he was kind of light, almost as if someone else was helping her carry him…

End of Chapter! End of Chapter!

Okay, some news… kinda bad news… my mom is slowly finding out about my grades, and I guess that I can say that I'm basically writing on borrowed time… So if I stop writing for a long period, blame school and its evilness!

Okay, anyway… I hoped you liked the chapter! Please review!!!
