Author's Notes

I am soooooo sorry for not updating!! This chapter was on a different computer, but it somehow lost its connection to the internet, and I haven't been able to e-mail it to myself so that I could do it on the main computer.

I'm been meaning to update for quite a while, but it was just exams week, we recently got The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and I've been playing it a whole lot, I've had to work on other fan fictions, I've had to go to Volleyball (plus for a few days, I haven't really felt like doing anything because I sprained my ankle during VB practice and actually had to walk on crutches for a day because it hurt so much, and let us not forget that if my computer was like the un-inanimates, I'd be dead to an extremity!

But finally, our computer is cooperating, so I'll update as much as I possibly can!

Now, nothing else to announce really, so, without further ado, CHAPTEEEEEEER TEN!!!!

Almost all the castle was silent after Raven had returned with Beast Boy. He had soon after reawakened, but he had said barely a word to Raven and she to him.

Raven was cleaning up his wounds. He had been bleeding quite a bit, but besides that, he was in good health.

Raven was trying to be nice with Beast Boy, seeing as he had saved her life, but he was making it difficult for her. Whenever she tried to clean one of his wounds with hot water, he would pull away. Finally, very frustrated, she said her first full sentence to him.

"Beast Boy," she said, highly irritated, "will you please stop moving?!"

"I'm fine!" Beast Boy growled annoyed, still trying to pull away. The others, namely Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Bumblebee and Jericho, cringed, mentally preparing for the two to start screaming at each other. Beast Boy continued, "So you can--"

"If you just cooperate--!"

"Just let--"

"Listen to m--"

"Make me!"

Raven fell silent. She merely clenched her fists, coming extremely close to giving in to the temptation of jabbing one of his wounds with the steaming hot cloth she held.

"This is your fault," Beast Boy blurted.

"What?!" Raven half-yelled exasperated. "How the crap is it my fault?!"

"If you hadn't gone into the West Wing, none of this would have happened!"

"Perhaps if you hadn't basically chased me out of here, we wouldn't be here right now!"

Beast Boy paused, obviously annoyed that she had a fairly good point here. "Well… if you hadn't taken me so seriously--"

"How could I have not taken you seriously?!" Raven yelled. "You said "Get out", so I did!"

"I meant out of the Wing!"

"Maybe I didn't care!" Raven said, tears of anger in her eyes. "Maybe I was sick of you screaming orders at me! Maybe you scared me so much that you convinced me for one moment that the wolves were better friends than you! Maybe you had absolutely no signs of caring for my welfare and made me even consider that being with the ever so brilliant Adonis would be better than here with someone that didn't care if I had a heart attack and died!!"

Beast Boy remained quiet. His face let Raven know that he was thinking of something to say to her but was coming up dry. He finally opened his mouth, and said the two words that Raven and even his servants had ever thought that they'd live to hear. The two words were:

"I'm sorry."

Raven looked at his eyes and she saw that he was looking her straight in the face. He wasn't just saying it to make her shut up. He was being honest.

"I… am sorry as well," Raven said. "I was curious in what you were hiding from me. I know that it was none of my business. I'm sorry."

The un-inanimates were staring at the two. Starfire was revealing a smile that had not been seen for ages; it was one of true happiness. She hugged Robin rather tightly, causing him to gasp for air silently. He returned the favor with a one-armed hug as he kept his eyes on Raven and Beast Boy, amazed that their hopes were possibly being fulfilled. Bumblebee was also staring, a smile crawling across her face. Jericho mute-shouted with joy. Cyborg couldn't believe it. Robin had been correct about his theory, and perhaps there was hope.

"By the way," Raven continued, "thank you for saving my life."

Beast Boy did another thing that he had almost never done in one of the longest times. He smiled. "You're welcome."

Later…later…later…later…later…

It was a few days after the wolf incident, and everyone was shocked by what was happening. Raven and Beast Boy were actually getting along. They hadn't argued since the incident, and they were happy! The castle, instead of feeling gloomy and despairing as it had for the past two years, felt happy and uplifted.

Throughout this time, Beast Boy finally realized something. His servants had continually told him of this, but he had paid no heed to it. But now that he and Raven were enjoying one another's company, he knew that the one that the enchantress had spoken of had finally arrived. Raven was the one that was going to give him the way to be human again!

Now that he thought of this, he wanted to give her something. He wasn't sure why, but Raven was just… special. He had to do something for her. Anything!

Beast Boy searched down Cyborg, Starfire and Robin. He knew that they were one of the few in the castle that at all knew any of Raven's likings were.

"We have not yet asked her of what her preferances are," Starfire answered when he had found the trio.

"Do you know anything about her?" Beast Boy asked, slight desperation in his voice.

"Well, she did show an interest in something," Robin replied.

"Beast Boy looked at him hopefully. "What?"

"Books," Robin answered simply. "When we were trying to lure her away from the West Wing, all we had to do was say the word, and she stopped!"

"She almost came with us too!" Cyborg added.

Beast Boy stood silent, pondering. He did have a huge library that took up about a sixth of the castle, but which book would he give to her? What genres did she like? Classic? Mystery? Terror? There were literally hundreds upon thousands of books to choose from!

"Which one do you think that she'd like?" he asked, hoping that by some miracle that they'd be able to give him an answer.

But it didn't happen.

"What?!" Cyborg practically screamed, his eyes wide. "Do you know just how many books there are?!"

"A few thousand," Beast Boy answered. "I know!"

There was a pause as they all thought of how to take care of this situation.

"Maybe you should let Raven see the library," Cyborg said, "and then let her choose which book she wants."

Beast Boy thought about this suggestion, and soon agreed. Now all he needed to do was find the perfect time to do this.

Later-er…Later-er…Later-er…

The next day, Raven and Beast Boy were outside. It had gotten much colder over the time that Raven had arrived, and had snowed the night before. Everyone had thought that it was only going to be a thin layer, but it turned out to be a foot and a half of snow.

Raven was quite amazed by the sight of it all. The castle was covered in snow, causing it to look somewhat angelic instead of haunted. The castle grounds were also quite beautiful, but somewhat blinding as well. It was a fairly big change to be in a dark castle and then outdoors in pure-white snow.

In her room, she had found a British closet that went by the name Argent. Argent had given Raven a gorgeous coat made from fine linens. The inside lining was made out of creamy, spotless-white silk and the outside was fox fur. It was very comfortable and warm, even in this frigid weather.

Beast Boy had no need for a coat because it was already a part of his body. The only piece of clothing that he was wearing was his cape.

Beast Boy looked at Raven. He hadn't usually seen Raven happy, so being able to was quite nice. He hadn't before noticed that she had such pale skin. The cold, however, brought out the color in her face, intensifying the beauty he had finally discovered.

He picked up some snow and made it into a spherical shape. "Hey, Raven," he said mischievously.

"Hm?" Raven looked at him, her eyes widening slightly. "Don't you dare," she said, smiling.

"How come?" Beast Boy asked, throwing the snowball. Raven ducked, the snowball flying over her head. She scooped up her own snow and threw it back, earning a direct hit in her target's face.

Beast Boy brushed off the snow and picked up a massive amount of snow that he had to use the full length of both of his arms for. He quickly packed it together and lifted it into the air. Raven, however, acted faster and threw another snowball into the air and receiving another hit in Beast Boy's face, causing him to lose grip of his projectile and having it fall on his head as well.

Raven started laughing hard and soon after was joined by Beast Boy. He again brushed off the snow. Suddenly, he realized something.

"Raven," he said. "I want to show you something."

"What is it?" she asked.

"A surprise."

Raven smiled. "Alright," she said. "Show me."

"Close your eyes," Beast Boy said. Raven arched her eye brow, but lowered her head slightly and closed her eyes. She also put out her hand.

Beast Boy stared at the hand, confused. "Uh…"

"If you need to take me somewhere, but I can't look," Raven said, "how else will you bring me?"

Beast Bot hesitated, but finally took her hand. He led her indoors and up a few flights of stairs. All the way there, he was hoping that Raven wasn't getting uncomfortable with all the walking.

Finally, they arrived. "Okay, we're here," Beast Boy said. "But," he continued, causing Raven's half-opened eyes to shut once more, "you must wait for one moment."

"Fine."

Beast Boy stared at her, and quickly waved his hand in front of her face. No reaction. He then rushed to the window and drew the curtain, giving the room the light that it had pleaded to have for so long. He surveyed the room to make sure that everything looked okay. "Alright," he said. "Open your eyes."

Raven did so, and a gasp escaped her. Shelves upon shelves stood before her, holding a great plethora of books. The library had a book case that stretched from wall to wall, floor to ceiling. It had to be at least two, three stories tall.

"You can have as many books as you'd like," Beast Boy said.

"I…" Raven was speechless. This was incredible. Never before had she seen so many books in one room before. "C-can I have them all?"

Beast Boy's eyes widened. "All?!" he said, astonished. "But there are so many!"

"I love to read," Raven said. "I can read very fast. It could be possible for me to read all of these if I put my mind to it."

Beast Boy looked from her to the books, then back to Raven. "Well… I said as many as you want, now didn't I?"

A smile leaped across Raven's face. "Thank you!" She suddenly gave Beast Boy a small hug, and ran to the many shelves. Beast Boy watched her go, smiling. He now knew for a fact that everything that he thought would never happen was happening. For one, he finally had hope.

End of chapter!!!

I'm really sorry for the long wait. I tried to make sure that this chapter is long as to make up for the time that I haven't updated.

Please review!!
