Chapter: 11
The note
After searching the city three times then even moving to Gotham for a look around, they didn't find anything. Beast boy was becoming vexed by the sudden disappearance of raven. She had been considered a missing person for over 18 hours.
"What are we going to do? Raven is gone, we need to keep searching, put her picture on a milk carton or put up flyers." Beast boy began on his list of possible things he could do at midnight. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were sleeping while standing with small Z's escaping their mouths. Every few minuets one of them would hum an mmmmhmmmm toward Beast boys flapping trap. Finally he stopped talking causing all three of them to wake up from the utter silence.
"Beast boy what's the matter, you shut up?" Cyborg said looking ever which way for the cause of the sudden silence. Beast boy slumped down to the floor and sat in a depressed lump of green mass.
"She's never coming back is she?" Beast boy asked. All three of them looked at him sympathetically seeing the utter despair in his green (A/N: Green? Yes? No?) Eyes. The small flare of hope that was swirling and mixing around in his eyes earlier, which had pulled all of them through the hours of searching, was now extinguished.
"Non sense Beast boy, she would never leave with out contacting us someway to tell us she is alright." Robin said. Then it clicked.
"Robin, that is it! Raven must have left us a note of the location which she is staying in." Starfire said excitedly. She jumped into the air and picked up Cyborg in one hand and Robin in the other. She began flying toward the tower before Beast boy even stood up. He transformed into a hawk and flew after Starfire getting closer and closer to the tower, and his flame of hope was growing larger and larger.
***Back to Raven***
A/N: Sorry for interrupting the story but I felt I had to, to get people to read the note. IMPORTANT (that's for ignorant people who were going to skip the note) I know cinder block cant talk let alone the fancy evil I-know- everything-so-shut-your-ass-up talk but I needed a villain who talked like that and Slade wasn't in her vision. I have this all planned out. So bare with me please: on to the story.
The small ray of hope had come and gone in the time she spent there. She was going through major mood swings because of her being locked in a dark room with a block that would kill her if she moved, and because of the band on her head preventing her powers. She went from as high as a kite to suicidal tendencies. One minuet she would almost jump out of pure unexplained joy, then the next minute she would contemplate strangling herself with the cord of the lamp hanging above her head. She felt bipolar and couldn't do anything about it. She was slipping in and out of a conscious state when she thought she heard Beast boy. She woke to his voice but one she opened her eyes it was gone. She closed her eyes once again and saw Beast boys face, she heard beast boys voice and she could almost feel Beast boys touch.
'This must be a mirage; he isn't coming, not yet. I know he inst here, I don't know how I know but I just do.' Raven thought as she could hear his laugh and his whispering incoherent words in her ears.
'Raven, I love you and I will find you.' Beast boys voice rang in her ears. She continued to hear his voice, when it was high or low in pitch, when it was deep and rough, when it was high and squeaky, even when he had lost it and it was just a distant sound. Her hands itched to whip up to her head and rub her temples chanting 'Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos' but any attempts would have cost her, her life. However, Cinderblock never said he would kill her if she talked.
"Beast boy, get out of my head!" raven heard herself say. She wasn't talking but her soul was. If everything were up to her she would have kept silent for the remainder of the time she was in this hellhole. No one gets his or her way all the time though, her soul was a tormented one and she wasn't a person who wore it out on her sleeve. She constantly has to hide her emotions because that's what powers her talents. Her soul is locked up deep inside her so when it gets a chance to come out and do with her body what it wants, it will come out with a bang.
She wasn't taking orders from anybody and Cinderblock was an orderly person, at least in her situation. "What are you babbling about girl?" Cinderblock gruffly stated.
"Beast boy, you aren't coming to save me, not now, not yet. Stay out of my head and focus on the task at hand. You are already in a haze of confusion if you don't stop thinking of me so much you may not live to see the light of day. Focus Beast boy, FOCUS!" Raven shouted into the black room. Cinderblock was hit with a tinge of worry, getting the feeling that she may be talking to some one or something out side the hut.
"Who are you talking to girl? There better not be some one outside this hut or you'll be dead before they can reach you. Unless you forgot that that band around your head that prevents your powers." Cinderblock said. Raven was in a battle against her soul, she desperately wanted to tell Cinderblock that she had forgotten about the band and was trying to contact someone but it didn't work. However, her soul was in charge and she said something that might get her in trouble for later.
"You idiot! You really think that your plan will work? I've seen better plans devised by a stick. My friends will save me, just not yet; soon I will have the pleasure of two choices, one of them being the death of you! I have no reason to fear you so stop acting superior to me!" Raven said in a forceful tone. Cinderblock laughed.
"What's the other choice, dieing yourself? If you have no reason to fear me why are you still caged here like a wild animal?" Cinderblock asked.
"I shall never die by the unworthy hands of you, Cinder block. I do not fear you, however; the possibility of you strangling me if I move is high. I do not fear you but I am wise enough not to move." Raven said in a matter- of-fact way. Cinderblock had nothing to say to the girl. They both continued to sit in silence as Beast boys voice fled from her head.
***Back to the titans***
Beast boy was flying through the halls scouting the area for a note of some kind possibly left by Raven. He flew into her room and saw a small folded piece of notebook paper on her bed. He rushed to it opening it quickly to find it wasn't her handwriting but some chicken scratch. He began reading it and he fell on the floor realizing that this simple note could have saved him a days worth of searching. He ran to Robin and the others to show them the note. He found them asleep on the couch; Robin and Starfire in each other's arms and Cyborg sleeping with his eyes open blankly staring at the T.V.
Beast boy silently read the note aloud to the slumbering titans.
"Titans, Raven has been taken from your tower but she is safe. Meet me outside the small shack on the outskirts or town at noon tomorrow or she might have trouble breathing. Be on time. On the east side of town there is a lake, a small island is in the middle and farm land is behind the lake, the shack is located on the island."
Beast boy didn't know who wrote the note but knew he had to save her. Earlier that day he kept thinking she was hurt and needed his help, he couldn't help but think 'I love you Raven, I will save you.' however in response to that her voice popped in her head yelling at him to focus. Beast boy knew it had to have been her so he searched, and searched, and searched. Nothing turned up until they came home, and there was the note, the clue to Raven's whereabouts. How could he be so stupid not to look in her room that morning for some clue, he just assumed she would be somewhere else.
Beast boy was standing in the dimly lit room staring out into nothing thinking of her, how uncomfortable she was, and the more she thought of her sorrow the more furious he got. Beast boy thought he ought to put the rest of the titans in bed. He morphed into an elephant, slowly wrapping his trunk around the thin bodies of Robin and Starfire. They both leaned forward onto him, they were out like a light, and they were never waking up. He stomped to Robin's room to set them down on his bed. Since they were entwined with each other Beast boy decided not to separate them at the risk of his life. They he walked back to the room for the tin man when he saw Cyborg standing up looking at Beast boy slowly walk into the room.
Beast boy's eyes grew as large as plates and he put his arm in front of his face for protection. Then he sighed realizing Cyborg was awake and not some one trying to capture him or anything.
"BB, I'd like to talk to you." Cyborg said in a kind way. Beast boy looked at him and sat down on the couch legs crossed Indian style. Cyborg sat down a few cushions down and put the arm opposite from Beast boy up on the top of the couch.
"BB, look, I'm sorry Raven is missing. I want to help you." Cyborg started.
"Help me with what?" Beast boy asked even though he knew what he meant. Beast boy was hurting inside; he was hurting a lot. He had this immense pain like a thousand needles poking his heart. Any thing, which was everything, that reminded him of Raven made this feeling worse. The feeling went from needles to knives to swords to almost a nuclear explosion that left his heart scattered into oblivion.
"You know what." Cyborg said until Beast boy smiled a sad smile.
"I know, I just didn't think you knew. I hate mushy moments like this." Beast boy said. Cyborg smiled wide.
"Sure you hate them, just like you hated it when Raven practically attacked you under the blankets the other night." Cyborg said. Beast boys smile turned to a frown quickly as he shot Cyborg a death glare. This made Cyborg laugh.
"At least I got some action." Beast boy said smiling and laughing at the now silent Cyborg. Beast boys laugh soon stopped, as he knew that both of them weren't up for talking about that anymore. It was a touchy subject, it was practically forbidden to have a relationship in this field of work but is Robin and star could pull it off why not Raven and Beast boy?
"Is there anything I can do Beast boy?" Cyborg asked concerned by his friend's deep thoughtful expression.
"Nothing will stop the pain. The only one who can help me is Raven." Beast boy said trying to put on a smile but it was shaky and unsure. Finally he stopped smiling all together and frowned thinking about the conversation he was having with Cyborg.
"I heard the note." Cyborg put in. Beast boy looked up into his eyes seeing concern reflecting in his red shiny eye. "We can go t the island tomorrow, if you want. Or only you can go . . ." Cyborg started trying to cheer Beast boy up. Nothing helped. Finally Beast boy smiled and said:
"You can come along, but I get the girl." Beast boy stood up and walked into his room. He took off his shirt and his pants, revealing only his boxers. He climbed to the top of his bunk bed and snuggled into the pillow. He hoped he could sleep off this feeling but having the time to think of Raven only made things worse. His heart sunk to an all time low sitting there in his comfy bed. He just hoped Raven was ok.
***Back to Raven***
She sat on this chair, and had been sitting in this chair for over 20 hours; she was getting restless. She kept falling into continuous fits of sleep. She fell asleep and would dream of falling, once she hit the ground she woke with a jolt. This had been happening for over 2 hours until she slept. She dreamt of Beast boy holding and caressing her until the room became dark and Cinderblocks cold hands grabbed her by the neck. Beast boys face began to fade away and she grew cold with out him, cinder block strangled her until she turned blue. Then she began having an out of body experience, she saw herself dieing a slow horrible death. She woke to the morning sun peaking through the crack in the door.
When she opened her eyes she fell into a heap of despair. Not only could she die if she moved but she hadn't moved in over a day. She had nothing to eat or drink since she had come to this horrible place and was parched and starving. Nothing was good in her life anymore, now with out the Teen titans with out her little game with Starfire and the boys with out beast boy there was nothing to live for. However, her mind would not except death, if she died the titans would have tremendous sorrow imprinted on their minds and she could never forgive herself.
If Raven passed away here in this place that beast boy could not find he might never stop looking. He might dip into a pool of denial and never have the desire to come out. He could search the whole planet for her and she would never be found. If she felt that with out him there was no point to living then he must feel the same way. Raven knew he would find her, she didn't know how but she did. Raven pictured Beast boy in her mind and she couldn't help but letting her mind slip into the thoughts of before he left her room that night. How far would she have gone?
Thinking about it now the last thing she had said to the titans was 'Yes he's here.' She didn't even say good night or sweet dreams. Raven was suddenly stricken by an overwhelming desire to indulge herself in a cool luscious glass of water. She was just hit by thirst, now when she just woke up. She tried to muster up enough courage to ask Cinderblock for a drink when he practically read her mind. However it wasn't hard to figure out she was hungry and thirsty because she hadn't had a thing to eat or drink in a while.
"Would you like something to drink or eat?" Cinderblock asked almost as if it was her last meal on death row. Raven began to nod then remembered the incident the last time she moved. She froze in her position with her head tilted down slightly and the hair on the back of her neck stood up when she felt the wind brush her skin when he walked behind her.
"Yes. Please." Raven said in short gasps hoping he would walk past her so she could continue breathing regularly. After that dream she had with Beast boy she was beginning to fear Cinderblocks icy hands around her skinny neck. He ignored her slight movement and walked out a door behind Raven. She heard the noise of dishes and food being cooked on the stove. The room filled with the fresh aroma of food, and it was making Raven irritably hungry. Soon she heard his loud clip clomping footsteps through the door. She heard him open the door and set up a small table infront of Raven and set down a plate a glass and a bowl. She refused to move until told to; she didn't want to give him the joy of strangling her again. She could smell the small bowl of Ramen, the red tea in a glass, and eggs and bacon on the plate. She would eat the Ramen and tea but she never liked eggs and bacon.
"I know your hungry, there's no need for manners. We aren't trying to impress any one. "Cinderblock said in a raspy voice. Raven bent over and grabbed the glass drinking half of it in one gulp, the grabbed the bowl of soup and chugged that down savagely. She hadn't eaten since she got there and she needed food badly. She finished off the soup only stopping for a minute when she almost chocked on a noodle. She drank another sip of the tea and with out even tasting the food went for the eggs and bacon. Though she hated it any food tastes good when a person has been deprived of food.
She finished off the eggs while somehow not getting any of the runny yoke on her clothes. She started the bacon when she heard Cinder block walk back into the room behind her. She was done with the bacon and finishing her tea when he returned. She stayed the same consistency when engulfing her food and was wolfing down the tea now. Cinder block had come back and was looking at Raven, who now was calm and collective. She had finished her tea and sat perfectly still once again.
"Why don't you stand up?" Cinder block asked. Raven tried to do as he asked but her muscles were not used to the strain. She sat back down immediately when he legs gave way to her weight. She would not give up though. She tried to stand four more times and failed each time. However she was beginning to get used to standing once again and began to gain balance. She stood and didn't fall this time but her knees were shaking and she looked like a calf who just stood up for the first time with out falling, and she felt like one to. Soon she began o gain composure and she straitened her back. Soon she was able to separate her knees and stand up normally.
Cinder block was enjoying seeing her struggle to stand but the fun was over when she stood still on her own. Hopefully she would not be able to walk as easily. She needed exercise but that didn't mean Cinder block couldn't enjoy himself. He didn't think she should be able to exercise because she could escape easier but Slade insisted. He said something about being humane.
"Take a walk." Cinder block said as he went into the room behind her and she heard a T.V. turn on. She slowly wobbled around the small hut. She was still in the dark but knew there were no objects in her way. She was tempted to take off her band on her head but knew if Cinder block found out she may not ever see daylight.
***Back to the teen titans***
Beast boy woke up late that morning and rolled out of the top bunk. He hit the ground with a thud. "Uhhhhh . . . "Beast boy groaned as he peeled himself off of the floor. He got dressed and walked out of his room to see the titans dressed and ready for a day of searching. "Take a day off today guys her kidnapper wants to see us at noon." Beast boy said sleepily.
"Beast boy, its 11:36." Robin said. Beast boy's eyes grew wide and he was fully awake now. He scrambled over to the clock and saw that Robin wasn't pulling his leg. He grabbed a juice box and a pop tart and chugged the juice. He began eating the pop tart while every one was amazed at how fast he could eat.
"Come on Guys we have to jet. We need to go to the east side in 24 minuets." Beast boy said morphing into a hawk ready to take to the sky. Every one realized the danger Raven was in after the shock of Beast boy's visit. They all took to the sky headed toward the small island were raven was trying to walk.
A/N: OK, do you like it? I needed to stop it here because I plan on stopping it if and when he finds Raven. All right like I stated before I know Cinderblock can't talk, I have had a lot of reviewers confused, but I needed some one smooth talking yet rough. I couldn't use Slade because he always sends like a robot and is never in person, it just wouldn't work. I wanted to use that muck guy at first but I forgot his name so it became Cinderblock. Actually I think Cinder block turned out well, I don't think I would want to write this any other way.
Your favorite righting genius,
Crasyducky
P.S: I haven't used your favorite righting genius in a while, sorry I know you need to know that im your favorite. I'll never do it again.
After searching the city three times then even moving to Gotham for a look around, they didn't find anything. Beast boy was becoming vexed by the sudden disappearance of raven. She had been considered a missing person for over 18 hours.
"What are we going to do? Raven is gone, we need to keep searching, put her picture on a milk carton or put up flyers." Beast boy began on his list of possible things he could do at midnight. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were sleeping while standing with small Z's escaping their mouths. Every few minuets one of them would hum an mmmmhmmmm toward Beast boys flapping trap. Finally he stopped talking causing all three of them to wake up from the utter silence.
"Beast boy what's the matter, you shut up?" Cyborg said looking ever which way for the cause of the sudden silence. Beast boy slumped down to the floor and sat in a depressed lump of green mass.

"I know your hungry, there's no need for manners. We aren't trying to impress any one. "Cinderblock said in a raspy voice. Raven bent over and grabbed the glass drinking half of it in one gulp, the grabbed the bowl of soup and chugged that down savagely. She hadn't eaten since she got there and she needed food badly. She finished off the soup only stopping for a minute when she almost chocked on a noodle. She drank another sip of the tea and with out even tasting the food went for the eggs and bacon. Though she hated it any food tastes good when a person has been deprived of food.
She finished off the eggs while somehow not getting any of the runny yoke on her clothes. She started the bacon when she heard Cinder block walk back into the room behind her. She was done with the bacon and finishing her tea when he returned. She stayed the same consistency when engulfing her food and was wolfing down the tea now. Cinder block had come back and was looking at Raven, who now was calm and collective. She had finished her tea and sat perfectly still once again.
"Why don't you stand up?" Cinder block asked. Raven tried to do as he asked but her muscles were not used to the strain. She sat back down immediately when he legs gave way to her weight. She would not give up though. She tried to stand four more times and failed each time. However she was beginning to get used to standing once again and began to gain balance. She stood and didn't fall this time but her knees were shaking and she looked like a calf who just stood up for the first time with out falling, and she felt like one to. Soon she began o gain composure and she straitened her back. Soon she was able to separate her knees and stand up normally.
Cinder block was enjoying seeing her struggle to stand but the fun was over when she stood still on her own. Hopefully she would not be able to walk as easily. She needed exercise but that didn't mean Cinder block couldn't enjoy himself. He didn't think she should be able to exercise because she could escape easier but Slade insisted. He said something about being humane.
"Take a walk." Cinder block said as he went into the room behind her and she heard a T.V. turn on. She slowly wobbled around the small hut. She was still in the dark but knew there were no objects in her way. She was tempted to take off her band on her head but knew if Cinder block found out she may not ever see daylight.
***Back to the teen titans***
Beast boy woke up late that morning and rolled out of the top bunk. He hit the ground with a thud. "Uhhhhh . . . "Beast boy groaned as he peeled himself off of the floor. He got dressed and walked out of his room to see the titans dressed and ready for a day of searching. "Take a day off today guys her kidnapper wants to see us at noon." Beast boy said sleepily.
"Beast boy, its 11:36." Robin said. Beast boy's eyes grew wide and he was fully awake now. He scrambled over to the clock and saw that Robin wasn't pulling his leg. He grabbed a juice box and a pop tart and chugged the juice. He began eating the pop tart while every one was amazed at how fast he could eat.
"Come on Guys we have to jet. We need to go to the east side in 24 minuets." Beast boy said morphing into a hawk ready to take to the sky. Every one realized the danger Raven was in after the shock of Beast boy's visit. They all took to the sky headed toward the small island were raven was trying to walk.
A/N: OK, do you like it? I needed to stop it here because I plan on stopping it if and when he finds Raven. All right like I stated before I know Cinderblock can't talk, I have had a lot of reviewers confused, but I needed some one smooth talking yet rough. I couldn't use Slade because he always sends like a robot and is never in person, it just wouldn't work. I wanted to use that muck guy at first but I forgot his name so it became Cinderblock. Actually I think Cinder block turned out well, I don't think I would want to write this any other way.
