Hey hey! Im back! And I updated yesterday and now im updating again today! Go me! And its 7 in the mornin and im tired and waiting for my idiotic sister to hurry up and finish taking her shower so I can get to school before im late! I know you all really wanted to know that... Anywho! On with da story!

What? No, this isn't happening! Nicole is fine! This is all a dream! Im about to wake up anytime and then POP! Triggon will be on my case again and then ill do something that won't hurt anyone! Ya. That's what's going to happen. Yup. Any second now. Any moment.

'Good job Raven! Bravo!' Triggons voice went 'couldn't have done better myself, well actually, I could have but...'

Raven wasn't listening to Triggon though. 'No. I did do it. I killed two men and almost killed lots others. And Nicole! Shes just five! She hasn't done anything wrong to me! She was the nicest one here! She probably hasn't done anything to anyone! Im a murderer!

'Raven? Are you listening to me child? RAVEN!!!'

"Yes, yes I can hear you! What do you want?"

'Never mind. Just make sure you do something bigger the next time you do something! They are going to war in a few weeks. Ask them if you can come with them. Then destroy them when they are at war and already hurt!'

"Ok, ok! Just let me get a little sleep please?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

"Raven! Please can you help me? Nicole wont go to sleep! She needs rest! Please help me!" Tessa was begging Raven. Raven was sitting on one of the big lumpy couches in the living room trying to read when Tessa walked in begging raven to help her.

"Sure. Just give me a second." Raven answered as she ran upstairs to her room to get something.
When she came back down in her hands she had the old blonde doll that her mother had made for her. She walked into the sick room ( I cant remember what the real word is called! Ya all know what i mean!) doll in hand.

She walked to the side of a bed. In the bed a tiny girl was laying there badly burned. Her left arm was peeking out of the clean white sheets and you could see it completely burned. Half of her face was badly burned also. Her long dark black hair that the other girls loved to play with so much was now burned on the tips, some places more then others.

"Hey." Raven half said half whispered. "Brianna wanted to visit you." Raven said more clearly holding out the doll and tucking it under Nicole's right arm. The girl slowly put her arm around the doll and pulled it close.

(Flashback thingy to ravens like second or third night at ninewaters.)

Raven just started to unpack her things when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in!" Raven said. She heard the door creek slightly as a short girl with long black hair crept in.

"Hi! Could I watch you? I'll be REAL quiet! You wont even know im here! Ill just sit on you bed really quietly.

"Alright." Raven held back a tiny laugh "But I'm just unpacking my stuff."

"Don't worry. Im easily amused. I don't know what that means but that's what Tessa and Aunt Ada say!" This time Raven couldn't help but quietly laugh because of the look on Nicole's face.

"Could I please see your doll Raven? Please?"

Raven was unpacking her few things from her bag. She had pulled out the doll when Nicole asked to see it.

"Sure." Raven answered. "Her hair hasn't been brushed in a long time anyway. Would you like to brush it for me?" Raven held out a brush and the doll.

"Could I?" Raven could see the look happy look in Nicole's eyes.

"What's her name?" She asked looking up from the doll.

"Brianna. My mother made her for me." Raven asked as she continued to unpack her stuff.

"Really? Shes really pretty! Could I make a dress for her? I would make it real good! I can sew! I can! Could I? PLEASE?"

"Sure. Shes worn the same outfit for a good 10 years now. She'd probably like a new one anyway."

(End of flashback thingy)

"Do you want me to tell you a story?" There was a slow nod from the girl but nothing else. She still had her eyes closed.

"Okay. Once upon a time there was a boy. And this boy was really special ok? You see, he can change into any kind of animal he wants to. Anyway this boy wanted to earn some extra money so he got a job working at a stable. So every day he would wake up early and head down to the stables. And each day he would take care of the horses down there."

Now Nicole slightly opened her eyes and the nurses had faintly turned there heads. Erin and Leigh were also sitting by her. She went on.

"But, there was this one horse that wouldn't pay any attention to him and wouldn't listen to what Be- this boy told him to do. So, what he did was every morning he went to work early and when he got to there he would let the horse loose in the pasture and let the horse run free and while the horse was running the boy would chase after the horse."

"He came home with blisters all over his feet from running so much and even after he chased the horse he still had to tend to the other horses. But he kept running after the horse no matter how fast the horse ran he kept chasing him. The horse might slow down for a little while and as soon as he did the boy would catch up to the horse and when the horse took off again so did he."

"But remember, this boy can change into any animal he wants right? But he didn't he stayed human the whole time. You see, he was trying to get the horse to trust him. The horse had been beaten by his old owner and eventually he gave up trusting humans. He wouldn't even trust the owner he had now."

"So, as time went on the boy continued to chase after the horse and the horse decided that maybe this boy wasn't as bad as all humans are. I mean he never left the horses side except when the horse left him in the dust, but he was right back beside him after a few minutes. So he loosened up a little bit and eventually the horse trusted him completely. The boy then bought the horse with the wages he had made. And-"

"What is the boys name?" Nicole whispered.

"Hmm?"

"What's his name?" She repeated faintly again.

"Oh? His name? Beast Boy."

"So what happened to him and the horse?" Erin asked who was sitting by raven.

"Well, beast boy got to keep the horse and they lived happily ever after."

"That's good. I like stories with nice endings." Leigh said. "And look." She whispered now "Nicole's finally asleep!"

Boy that was a cruddy story! Sorry everyone!

It was two days after the fire and raven really needed to meditate.

"Ada, Im going to be up in my room the rest of the day and I know there isn't really any big reason but could you please make sure no one disturbs me? Please?"

"Oh, sure! You've been a big help an day after the fire and all and you've really helped with Nicole so go ahead! Ill make sure no one bugs you!"

"Thanks." Raven walked into the kitchen to get a large picture of water. Then went upstairs and locked the door. As she was setting the picture down the amulet around her neck fell off. 'The string must have broken. I'll find a new one later.'

She made a fire in the fireplace (yes she does have a fireplace!) and set the water down ready for a day full of meditating and fasting.

She put the amulet down in a little chest were she kept a few things that were really important to her and sat Indian style on the floor in front of the fire and started to meditate.

She meditated all day doing nothing but that and drinking some water. She then flopped down on her bed. She felt better then she had for a good two weeks. She soon fell asleep to be waken up by Erin and Tessa and maybe some others knocking on her door trying to tell her something. Raven said nothing waiting for them to leave.

"She must be asleep." She heard Erin say. After that she didn't hear anything and soon fell back to sleep. Again she was woken up by Tessa, Erin, Leigh, April and May knocking on her door to then be shushed by Ada.

After a while there were no more interruptions. Then she felt a blast on cool air hit her. She opened her eyes to see Triggon staring at her.

"Where is it child, where is it? Tell me!"

"What? Where is what? What are you talking about?"

"The amulet! What did you do to it? Didn't I tell you to never take it off!" Triggon threw his hands up in frustration.

"The string broke so I put it in a safe place! I'll find a new string in the morning."
"Show me!"

Raven walked over to the chest, unlocked it and showed Triggon the amulet and the broken string.

Triggon sighed with relief. "Good. Make sure you find a string for it by sunrise or ill be back! And remember! Don't bail out on me child! A girl riding on the horse has a sudden accident and falls off! Your fault. A boy is practicing his sword fighting and accidentally gets hurt. I can do these things child! And don't think I won't!" And with that he was gone.

Alrighty then!

Raven walked out of her room. 'So the amulet was keeping me from being m! So-'

Her thoughts were cut off by the sound of Leigh's voice.

"Raven! We tried to tell you earlier but you were asleep! Beast Boy came! He was here! He let me pet the pony! The one from your stories! Oh ya and he told me to give you this." She handed raven a piece of paper. "Don't worry, I didn't read it."

"WHAT?" Raven screamed. "He was HERE!?!? That's ok. Thanks for giving this to me. Im going to go back to sleep. But did you see which way he went?"

"Umm.. I think that way." Leigh said pointing to the left.

"South? Ok. Thanks! Im going to sleep. Bye."

'No, Beast Boy cant be here he just cant! I have to find him and tell him to never come back! The note!' Raven opened the note that Leigh had given her.

Raven-

Just came to check up on ya. See how you

were doing and stuff. We miss you!

If you want to see me or something ill be

visiting some friends down in Amish land!

-BB

'Amish land? What the- never mind. I have to go find him!'

Raven ran to her room and locked the door. Then she opened the window and flew out. 'South, south, that ways south!' Raven thought as she headed off.

lol. Amish people rock!

I don't feel like explaining how raven found Amish land but she did ok! So just bear with me. (yes I know I used the wrong bear!))

Raven got to Amish land and landed. She was so tired. But she had to find beast boy. She walked up to a man selling potatoes and asked him if he had seen a short green guy around here.

"Yup. He's stayin with the Bakers. You do know where that is right? Just head down this road and make a left on the first corner."

"Thanks." Raven said while walking away as the man went back to screaming
"POTATOES! GET YOUR FRESH HOT POTATOES!"

She followed the mans directions and ended up facing a little camp like thing. And there right in front of her was Beast Boy. She collapsed in his arms.

Yay! Beast boy finally found raven/ raven finally found BB!!!

"Come on Raven! Eat it! It's good! Its porridge! What better then porridge!" Raven was sitting a bed like thing (really just a mat and a couple of blankets on the ground) with Beast Boy in front of her holding a spoon up to her face. "Come on Rae! You're hungry! Just open your mouth then chew! That's all ya gotta do! Besides maybe swallow. Please? For me?"

Raven opened her mouth as Beast Boy put in something mushy. It was rather tasty. Raven had forgotten how hungry she was and continued to eat. Beast Boy still feeding her like a baby.

Once she had her fill Beast Boy said "Okay now go to sleep." Beast Boy started pulling up a blanket around her.

"NO! I cant I have to go back home! I have to before sunrise!"

"Its okay! You cant fly all the way back there like this! Get some sleep! We'll figure it out in the morning."

The bed like thing felt really nice under her. She gave in "Okay. But wake me up before sunrise."

"Kay. Don't worry, ill stand watch."

Raven soon fell asleep. Later she felt Beast Boy lye down next to her and pull another blanket around her. She half woke up shivering, then she felt an arm go around her and the shivering stopped. Raven wished she could stop time and stay like this forever.

Well that's the end of this chapter! Long chapter too! Ill update soon! I know the story raven told was really cruddy! DON'T HURT ME! dodges chair being thrown at her
