Recap: Before breakfast, Beast Boy and Raven share a moment. The Titans get into an early morning food fight. They go out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Beast Boy catches Raven off guard. Robin and Cyborg did the dare that Beast Boy made them do. Starfire and Raven have a girl's day.
Oh boy, this is going to be a long ass night. "What is the "man hunt"?" Star asked. Robin began explaining the game to Starfire. "That sounds intriguing." She said. "So you guys want to play?" Beast Boy questioned. Everyone agreed. "BOOYAH! THIS SHIT IS ABOUT TO BE LIT!" Cyborg exclaimed. "Alright, we need to get into teams. How about boys vs. girls?" Robin suggested. "Yeah, that's good." Cyborg agreed.
"Wait, I just realized something. There are an odd number of players. Plus we need to play this outside." Beast Boy stated. "We can just go to Jump City Park. The park is huge." I concurred. "Shit, why didn't I think of that?" Beast Boy said. "Maybe because you don't think." I stated. "Hey! I do think! I have my moments." Beast Boy said. He started pouting. Everyone but Beast Boy snickered.
"We are going to need our communicators." Robin said. "Then we have to change clothes." Robin lectured. "Robin we know this already. You already explained the rules to Star literally a couple of minutes ago." Beast Boy snapped. Robin glared at him and socked his arm. "OW! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?" Beast Boy shouted, rubbing his arm. "For being a smartass." Robin stated.

Everyone was dressed and had their communicators. I had on camouflage leggings, Concord 11s, and camouflage pullover sweater. Starfire had on gray sweatpants, black converse, and a matching gray sweater. Beast Boy had on black sweatpants, Aqua 5s, and a black sweatshirt. Almost everyone had on sweatpants and Jordans. "Alright let's get started." Robin said. We went down to the basement to the T-car.
We took the stairs instead of the elevator since Robin insisted we needed the exercise. Cyborg unlocked the car and we got in. He silently drove us to the park. He found an empty parking space and pulled into it. "At least this wasn't a long drive." I stated. "I agree." Star said. "I just can't wait to beat all of your asses in manhunt." Beast Boy taunted. "Just shut up and get out of my car." Cyborg teased. BB rolled his eyes and got out of the car. I followed him out. Once everyone was out of the car, Cyborg locked it and put the keys in his pocket.
We walked into the park. The park was deserted and dark. It was kind of creepy at night. Just the way I like it. Starfire and I were walking together since we already broke up into teams. "Star we have to be as sneaky as possible." I told her. "I understand." She whispered. We turned off location on our communicators so it would be harder for the boys to find us.
"Do you think we should split up?" Star asked. "Yes. Make sure you don't get caught" I stated. I transformed into my raven and sunk into the ground. I let my powers lead me near the middle of the park. I transformed back into my normal self and crouched under a bush. "Star, do you read me?" I whispered into the communicator. No answer. "Star?" I said again. Shit.
Starfire's POV
Raven left me a couple of minutes ago. I understand how manhunt works since Robin explained it to me before we left. This park is enormous. I decided not to fly, since it would be easier for someone to catch me. I've been sprinting and hiding under bushes and behind trees. Where is friend Raven? Suddenly, I saw friend Robin. A small smile appeared on my lips. He was the captain of the game we were playing.
He was sprinting trying to find a hiding spot. I slowly began to float in the air, not making a sound. Robin started to sprint faster. I do not think he knows that I am behind him. He froze suddenly. Swiftly, I flew and landed on a tree branch. It creaked softly. He turned around sharply, his eyes searching. This is perfect timing. I did a backflip in air and landed on Robin. He grunted and mumbled something. We wrestled a little a bit until he was on top of me. My beautiful red hair was sprawled all over the ground around my head. My cheeks began to heat up. "Caught you." I stated smirking. He rolled his eyes. "Oh, please. I let you catch me." He said. "Yeah right." I taunted. He laughed and stood up. "Here let me help you up." He beckoned. "Oh such a gentlemen." I said giving him my hand.
He pulled me up and I have to admit his hand felt so nice in mine. Like it was meant to be there. "Now let's go find the others." He announced.
*****Switches back to Raven's POV*****
I was actually enjoying myself. I liked being hidden in the night like this. Darkness always seems to calm me down. Yeah call me creepy, but I don't care. I was forming a portal, when I heard a twig snap. I formed the portal and stepped into it. The portal led me to another dimension. "Hey Larry." I said. Larry was riding a two headed unicorn gave me a big smile and waved. "Tell Robin I said hi." Larry said. "Okay sure." I said unsurely.
I formed another portal and went back to Jump City. I got back to the park except I was in the center. My communicator started buzzing like crazy. "Raven here. Over." I announced. "Guess what? I caught friends Robin and Cyborg!" She exclaimed excitedly. She's so innocent and happy. We need more people like her in the world. "That's great Star." I said. "Have you found Beast Boy yet?" She asked. "No not yet." I answered. But I will soon. "I'll talk to you later Star." I said. "Okay, bye friend Raven." She said. I shut off my communicator and put it in my pocket. I started walking not caring where I was going.
I heard a twig snap behind me. I turned around, surprising myself that I didn't get whiplash. I looked around but didn't see anything. "That's strange. I felt cockiness all around me. Beast Boy is around here somewhere. He's trying to sneak up on me but I'm smarter. I have an idea. I'll have him chase me. I turned on the location on my communicator. "Raven to Beast Boy, over." I said. "Aww Rae, miss me already?" He teased. I can just feel the smirk on his face right now. "Nah, I just wanted to let you know that I'm catching you. Wherever you are." I said confidently. He scoffed. "Yeah, okay." He said sarcastically. My demon side of me was slowing taking over. You can't hide this side of you forever Raven. (The demon side of her said in her head)
I turned off the communicator before I lost control. I can't control these voices in my head. The darkness inside of me was consuming me. I tried walking but I was glued to the spot. Everything was slowly beginning to spin. The evil in you will soon rise and eat you alive. "No, it's impossible." I mumbled. Suddenly, I didn't see the park in front of me. I saw Nevermore. That's the only thing I remember before I passed out.

"Is she going to be alright?" I heard Star ask. "I don't know Star. Her blood levels are low." Cyborg said. "It looks like she's waking up." Robin stated. My eyes slowly fluttered open. The bright lights were making me squint. I attempted to sit up but I was too exhausted. Cyborg dimmed the lights. Robin pressed a button on the metal bed so it could lift me up. I had an IV in my arm. My legs had some scratches and my arms had some dark bruises. Damn what happened?
Robin looked like he hasn't slept in a while. Starfire's eyes were red and puffy. Beast Boy had a neutral look on his face. But I could feel that he was happy that I was awake. "How are you feeling?" Robin asked. "Tired." I said bluntly. "How long was I out?" I asked. "You were out for a few hours." Cyborg replied. I was trying to take this all in. "What happened to me?" I asked. "That I don't know. Beast Boy found you passed out lying on the grass. He carried you back to the T-car." Robin said. That was nice of him. I nodded; I didn't know what to say. "I am happy you are okay." Starfire said. She engulfed me in a bone crushing hug. "Star, you're crushing me." I said, in between breaths. Star let me go and I began rubbing my arms. Beast Boy was standing in the corner not looking at me or at anyone else. It's like he is in his own little world or something.
"Are you hungry?" Robin asked. "Now that you mentioned it, I am pretty hungry." I said. "What time is it?" I asked. Cyborg checked one of the monitors in the infirmary. "It's 10:30." Cyborg replied. I showed no emotion on my face, but on the inside I was shocked. I was knocked out for so long! Something must definitely be wrong with me. "Robin, can you get me some waffles from The Cracker Barrel please?" I asked politely. Robin gave me a small smile. "Sure." He said. He swiftly walked out of the infirmary. "So Star tell me how you won Man Hunt last night." I stated. She smiled and started babbling about how she won. Beast Boy left with an angry expression on his face.
By the time Star had finished speaking; Robin came back with my waffles. I thanked him and he told me to call him if I need anything else. I was really weak so I would have to stay in bed for the rest of the day. "Star I need some time to think to myself." I told her. She nodded. "Of course." She said. She got up from the chair she was sitting on and left. I opened my waffles and began eating. What is wrong with me? Why did I go to Nevermore? "I was able to control the demon side of me so well." I said. Something is wrong. I have to go to Nevermore. NOW.
I slowly got out of the bed. I couldn't stop shaking. The last thing I remember is hearing someone screaming before I fell into unconsciousness.
A/N: Yes I know this chapter is short but I wanted to do a cliffhanger again. What are your opinions on this chapter? I decided to stop doing A/N notes at the beginning of my chapters.
