I would like to take this time to thank the two people who have stuck by me. Raventhedarkgoddess and Priestess Aishisu. Perhaps CyborgAndRaven4Ever will come along for the ride too. Who knows? Now that I got that outta the way, ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Chapter 2: Thoughts of You
(A/n: Cyborg's P.O.V.) Their silence froze us. No one moved, breathed, or even twitched while we stood there. I couldn't shake the feeling that something had happened that we didn't know about. Or perhaps we did, but we hadn't looked hard enough. I didn't know much about premonitions, but I had a feeling it had something to do with the image of us embraced. Finally Robin found his voice.
"Uh... welcome back."
"Were we really gone that long?" Raven asked, coldly.
"No, I guess not." Raven shrugged, and walked to her room. I wanted to go to her room too, but she seemed to want to be alone. I gave up and walked to my room too. I sighed as I lay down to rest, thinking only of Raven.
Cyborg's room, 11:56 P.M.
I woke up, feeling dizzy. I figured it was after anyone would be up, but I decided to check on Raven anyway. The only reason I went to check on her was because I knew no one else was up. I walked out of my room to Raven's. I knocked lightly, not wanting to (ARGH! I CAN'T THINK OF THE WORD!) knock the door in again. (knock wasn't what I was looking for, but it fits) I waited for my eye to adjust to the darkness. Raven was tossing and turning in her bed, a sure sign that she had another nightmare. I walked over to her, and picked her up, cradling her.
"You wish to be with her in her dream, don't you?" A voice asked, making me jump, almost dropping Raven. I looked up, to see a pair of red eyes staring out at me from the shadows. Funny, I didn't see him there before, I thought. Although he had scared me, it also infuriated me that he had been in here.
"What were you doing in here?" I asked accusingly. He smirked, something that made my blood boil.
"Helping her. She has been having nightmares for some time now, and has asked me to find a solution. By studying her when she sleeps, I may find a cure." As much as I hated to admit it, it made sense. Vampyre was the only one of us who could without sleep for days, and still function 100%. And because he was so dark, it was no wonder that Raven at least felt she could talk to him. I guess I could learn that their relationship isn't romance, but just friendship.
"Have you been in here each night?" He smirked again. I knew he could tell that I loved her, and I could tell that he was loving this.
"Yes. I told you, I need to study her sleeping for a while. Then I may be able to come up with a cure for her nightmares. You, of all people, shouldn't have a problem with it. Considering the fact that I am helping her." He made perfect sense. Somewhere inside me, a little voice shouted "He lies!" but I didn't believe it. I laid Raven back down on the bed, being very gentle.
"Okay, but, do me a favor. Can you hurry and find her a cure?"
"It is slow work. If you're thinking about helping, don't. You'd only slow me down. Now, go." He said, pulling the covers over Raven. His hand glowed a translucent black when he touched Raven's forehead, and she seemed to rest easier. I left, silently thanking my teammate for giving Raven a little bit of easier rest. In my room, my instinct fought with my common sense.
My instinct told me to go back in there and stay with her, but my common sense said for me to trust Vampyre. I decided to ask him about it in the morning.
Titans Tower, main room, 9:26 A.M.
I walked in, feeling dizzy. Robin was cooking breakfast. Beast Boy and Starfire weren't up yet. Raven was with Vampyre, who was doing... something. I watched, fascinated that Raven would listen to anyone so well.
"Tongue." She held her tongue out, carefully watching Vampyre's movements. He looked briefly at her tongue, then muttered something else I couldn't hear. He leaned across the table and checked her ears. If I didn't know they weren't in love with each other, I would've sworn he was kissing her. He also checked her neck.
"Hold out your left hand." She did so. He took her hand, and turned it over, looking carefully over the marks. He licked his right thumb and then placed it on her palm. She quickly drew her hand back.
"What did you just do?"
"That will appear or disappear depending on certain things. Open your palm and observe." I watched too, as the black thumbprint on her palm rapidly disappeared.
"Come back to me before you sleep, and I will have everything I need."
As Vampyre walked away, I walked up to Raven.
"Did you know he was in your room last night?"
"Yes. He has been as of late. I hope he can find a cure for my nightmares." That did it. For someone who didn't profess to love Raven, he spent a lot of time with her. Time to find out what was really going on. I cornered him as he was walking to his room.
"What's goin' on man? What're you doing to Raven?!"
"Helping her, as I told you last night."
"No, you're doing something else, something more."
"No, I'm not. If I was going to do something, like, rape her, or kill her, I would've already done it. And all of you would be dead. But that is putting me one step closer to becoming what I don't want to become. Also, since all of you are my friends, there is no reason to kill any of you. I have the power to kill each and every one of you seventy-six different ways. But I won't, I can't, because you're my friends. But don't think that just because I don't want to harm you, that you can take advantage of that fact. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some researching to do." It took a moment for his words to sink in. If I was going to do something, like, rape her, or kill her, I would've already done it. His words rang clear in my mind. I just then decided that I was going to have to trust Vampyre. Dark as he may be, he was my friend. And friends deserve trust.
And that is the end of the second chapter!!!!!!!!!!!! Next chapter will be Raven's P.O.V. So... I must know, what do you think???!!!! TELL ME!!!!!!!!!! . Too much sugar. BTW, in the beginning of the next chapter, I'll put a description of Vampyre. Since none of you (Minus you Raven) will have read Something Wicked this way Comes
