Sorry I took so long, there was a long range assignment last week. But now I'm back, and this story will probably only last about 2 more chapters. The last chapters will probably be a lot shorter. Enjoy the chapter!

------------------------

There was nothing Raven could do now. She had to admit the truth: she was going to die. As she got into the flames, it got really hot. Then she felt something push her, but she didn't open her eyes. Then she hit something hard. She assumed it was the stone bottom of the fire. Then she passed out.

Meanwhile, Starfire had lost site of Beast Boy. She looked up just in time to watch Raven fall into the fire. "NO!!!" she screamed. She flew towards the fire, but she was too late. She couldn't save Raven. Starfire walked over to the edge of the statue sadly. When she got there, she saw Beast Boy kneeling over Raven's body.

"Raven!" Beast Boy cried. "Come on!! Wake up!!!" At first it looked like she was dead, but then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Friend!! You are unharmed!!!!!" Starfire cried happily. She pulled Raven off the ground and hugged her. Raven was really confused. She pushed Starfire away slowly. "Starfire? Beast Boy? How did you get-- Why aren't I dead?!" She asked. "We walked. That answers number one. But for number two, just before you got into the flames I turned into an eagle and pushed you out of the way." Beast Boy answered.

Starfire zapped the bands off Raven's wrists. But by this time, Threamitesojntwo and the guards realized Raven wasn't dead in the fire. "What?! YOU AGAIN?!" Threamitesojntwo screamed as he glared at Beast Boy. "CHARGE!!"

The guards came running at them. Before they could do anything, Starfire zapped the bands off Raven's ankles so now she was completely free.

"Alright you freak," Raven growled. "It's payback time!!" She picked up a huge tree and hurled it at him.

Threamitesojntwo dodged it, but then he got hit with a starbolt. Then the guards stuck up behind Starfire and Beast Boy. The zapped them with the blue beams.

Raven didn't see this because she was too busy with snapping the bands onto Threamitesojntwo's wrists and tying him to a tree. But then she heard Starfire yell, "RAVEN HELP!!!" Raven turned around, only to see the guards holding Starfire and Beast Boy above the fire.

This made Raven get really mad. She picked up the fire and threw it off the edge into the pond in front of the stature. That made the guards get really scared. They dropped Beast Boy and Starfire.

"Now you'll be really sorry for everything you did to me while I was here!!" Raven growled. Then Beast Boy and Starfire saw Raven do things they thought no one could ever do.

Her eyes turned red and then seven long black tentacles came out from underneath her cloak. The tentacles grabbed the guards and pulled them towards her. When she got them almost inside her cloak, they turned into a bright white ball and exploded. Then Raven changed back to normal size.

A few villagers came up to the statue. They heard they explosion, and they demanded to know what happened. But by this time, Raven was getting really sick of people coming to her asking her to do things for her, which was what occupied a lot of her time there. Most of these people had treaded her like their own personal slave. Just seeing these people made her think they wanted her to do something for them. She was really fed up with that. Now there was a new policy. Instead of getting hit with a tree whenever someone came onto her plate, now anyone who did got thrown off the edge.

Now she turned a huge black dragon and roared really loud. That made Beast Boy hide behind Starfire. Raven picked up everyone in her mouth and spit them off the edge. She did that to everyone who came onto her plate until they stopped coming.

Now it was time to deal with Threamitesojntwo. She flew over to the tree he was tied to. "Now it's your turn." Raven growled in a voice that wasn't human. She grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and made about ten jagged rocks appear out of the ground. Then she pushed him up above the rocks.

"Wait a second, goddess." Threamitesojntwo said sinisterly. "Before you drop me into the rocks, I think you might want to know something. Remember that red liquid you drank before we were about to drop you in the fire?" "Yeah, so?" Raven growled.

"I thought you might want to know that the thing you drank was cursed blood. Meaning, once it gets into your bloodstream every atom of blood in you will explode at the speed of light!!" Threamitesojntwo crossed his arms. "So now, we know there's no way you can't die!"

Raven opened her eyes wide. "Shut up!!" she screamed. She let go of Threamitesojntwo and he fell onto the rocks and died.

Raven would have been happy about winning, but now she was terrified. She was going to die after all!! Starfire and Beast Boy walked over to her. Beast Boy put his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Rae." He said. "That guy was probably trying to scare you. I don't think there really is such a thing as cursed blood." Raven agreed. It took her a few minutes to calm down after that.

"Come on you two!!" Beast Boy said a few minutes later. "Let's get out of here!! It's Christmas Eve, and I still haven't finished the lighting on the inside of the tower yet!!" Starfire and Raven groaned in unison.

Beast Boy and Starfire walked away. Raven started to follow them, but then she stopped. "You guys..." she started. Starfire and Beast Boy spun around. "What?!" What's wrong?!" Starfire asked as she ran over to Raven. "I.. don't.... feel... so... good.." Raven answered. Her hands started shaking really fast, and then she fell to the ground.

Things still aren't looking so good for Raven. Stay tuned.
