Chapter Two: Gone
Beast Boy awoke the next morning,a heavy heart in hios chest. What Raven had said had made it seem as ifpart of him were dying.
"I can't just give up," he said to himself," What good would it do?"
Maybe I can get Raven to overcome her fear, he thought. The idea stuck with him as he showered. Beast Boy could feel himself growing more and more confident each time he thought about it.
"She'll change her mind! I'll make her change her mind!"
After he was dressed, he walked into the kitchen and grabbed raven's tea kettle outof the cupboard. The tea will definately help, he thought as he filled the kettle with water. After the tea was started, he walked into the living room and turned on the t. v.
Raven's soap should be on, he thought as he was flipping channels. One day, Beast Boy had entered the living room and stumbled upon Raven. That day he had learned that Raven secretly watched soap operas when she thought no one else was around.
Beast Boy sat down the exact moment Raven entered the room.
"What are you doing?" Raven asked glancing at the t. v.
"Watchin t.v." Beast boy answered.
"A soap opera?"
"Sure, why not?"
Raven shrugged her shoulders and walked into the kitchen only to find that her tea had already been started. Raven could feel a stab of pain going through her heart, knowing full well who and why someone had started the tea. We can't be together, she told herself. It's too dangerous.
Raven re-enetered the living room and stood in front of the t. v.
"Hey-" Beast Boy began.
"I thought I made it pretty clear last night that we couldn't be together," she said.
"Rae, can't you just reconsider?"
"It's dangerous for me to feel and you know it!"
"Why Rae? Can you even answer that?" he asked jumping up from the sofa.
"Because I can't feel! I can't show my emotions! But you already know that so why do you keep asking me?"
"Because I'm tired of you acting like a freakin baby!" he blurted.
Beast Boy knew he should have stopped there, but his mouth had other plans. The words just kept falling out.
"All you do is cry about how we can't be together, yet you do nothing to help solve the problem! If you don't like me, just tell me Rae! You don't have to go making up excuses!
"Beast Boy...I-"
"Forget it! You're right, we're done! I don't even want to bother with you anymore!
"Fine, then at leats I won't have to be bothered by you!"
They turned their backs on eachother and stormed off in opposite diresctions. Beast Boy stomped off to his room and slammed the door loudly when he was inside. He threw himself onto hios bed and beat his pillow with his fists.
He was very surprised that the other Titans hadn't awakened yet. He and raven hadn't exactly been quiet. Oh well, he thought. At least now I won't have to answer anyone's stupid questions! With that, he began to drift off into a deep sleep.
Beast boy was in the middle of a good dream when suddenly, the door to his room was thrown open and in came Robin.
"She's gone," he said.
"Gone? Who?" Beast Boy asked rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Raven."
"Raven?!" he yelled jumping out of his bed.
He was wide awake now!
"Where is she? Why'd she leave?"
"I don't know," Robin said with a sigh.
"Well, what are we gonna do?!"
"I'm not sure. We couldn't trace her at all. I don't think she has her commonicater with her," Robin informed him.
"What do you mean you can't trace her?!"
"Whoa, calm down. We'll never find her with yopu yelling like that!" Robin said wisely.
"I'm sorry, it's just..."
"No problem. Nopw, lets go see if we can find anything on Raven."
Robin led the way to the living room where they found Cyborg and Starfire seated on the couch.
"Anything?"Robin asked.
"Nope, nothin," Cyborg answered.
Beast Boy and Robin sat down beside their two team mates, their minds racing.
"So...any idea on where she mihgt have gone?" Cyborg asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Beast Boy could feel a knott forming in his stomach. Why would Raven just leave like that? This can't be right! She probably got kidnapped or something! Tat's gotta be it! Raven wouldn't just run off like that!
"What now?" Beast boy asked to no one in particular.
Silence greeted his question. He stood up from his spot on the couch and walked down the hallway. He stopped in front of Raven's door and slowly slid it open. When he was inside, he had to give his eyes a chance to adjust to the darkness. Beast Boy half expected to hear Raven's voice yell for him to get out of her room, but there was nothing.
"I guess she really is gone," he said to himself.
He didn't want to believe the words, but he knew it was true. And from the way things looked, it didn't seem as she were ever coming back.
