Chapter 2: Help me.....
Raven sat on her bed, staring at the two different colored jewels attached on her hand piece. She could almost see Tru crying over something. It was disturbing, and she decided to ignore the jewels for the time being. She reached the top of the tower once again, her cape flapping wildly behind her as she stood at the edge. The feeling of murder had become stronger, and it twisted around her heart like a snake. But it made her wonder, as she never had the feeling of sadness when a murder had been comitted. Raven calmed herself, and heard a plop behind her. Turning around she noticed that she had ripped random objects off their spots and thrown them around without even realizing it. She sighed and used her powers to levitate everything back into place. What happened that could make her feel that way?
"Raven... Excuse me for the interuption, but I really need to speak my thoughts out to you." Starfire said slowly, looking at her friend's back in a sort of embarrassed way.
"I don't mind Starfire. I haven't been feeling that great lately, and I would be more than happy to listen to you." Raven replied.
"But I thought you don't like pink happy things? This is glorious! Friend Raven would be happy to listen to me!" Starfire started dancing around the tower, her red hair flying around as she did so. Raven sighed and sat down, crossing her legs. Star stopped and walked over to Raven, concerned. Starfire stood in front of Rae and kneeled down, becoming eye level with her friend. Starfire stared deep into those violet eyes, trying to break the barrier which Raven always held. But her emerald eyes failed her, unable to penetrate her friend. She sat down beside Raven, and gave a deep breath.
"So, what do you wish to speak to me about?" Raven asked, her thoughts drifting.
"Well.... Robin, and you." Starfire muttered. Raven heard and gazed in surprise. She hadn't acted so strange that Star now wished to speak about her?
"Yes...." Raven murmered, as Tru's image came across her eyes. She shrugged her thoughts off and now took full attention on Star.
"Well, I've been having strange feelings about him lately. And he seems to blush when I catch him 'off guard'. What is happening?" Starfire asked, letting out her thoughts.
"You two are in love." Raven replied. Starfire's face turned red, she had never thought about it being that.
"Oh...." Star managed to say. She shook off the speechless moment and changed the subject. "But what of you Raven? You come out here more and you mediate more often as well. You also have been waking up later, and now you have those weird.... shiny things on your hands. Please tell me what is happening." Raven gave Starfire a deep, longing look, but did not reply. Then she whispered, "I am sorry, Star. I cannot." And with that Raven levitated off the cliff and towards the city. Starfire watched her go in agony, she really wished to help Raven if she was in any problems. But she grew cold in the night sky and with regret walked back into the tower.
On the Streets of Jump...
Raven landed softly on the sidewalk, taking a look at the surroundings. Then to her pleasure she noticed her favorite coffee shop, where she could read and think to herself without any interuptions. She entered the shop and stared at the waitress. It was Jenny, her somewhat friend.
"The usual I presume Rae?" Jen asked, swerving around the tables to reach her friend. Raven nodded and took a seat in the back of the room, where she felt at peace. Jen left, and came back a minute later with an expresso, especially made just for Rae. Raven gave Jen a nod, sipped her drink, and soon she became drowned in her thoughts.
Raven jumped back into reality as a large flash erupted across the windows of the cafe. A large crackling boom followed a second later. All the customers jumped back from the noise and gathered in the back, much to Raven's dismay. She quickly got up and ran out into the dark, lamp lit streets. She looked both ways, and saw nothing. She looked up and dodged an object that fell down from the sky. Taking a closer inspection Raven realized, holy cow, it was Cyborg! He seemed to be unconsious, but she could tell he was still alive. Why hadn't she remembered that Cyborg and Beast Boy had gone out for that stupid game marathon thing? Raven told Jen to look after Cyborg, then levitated into the sky. She floated above the buildings, looking for anything. Then a big flash made her turn right, to find Beast Boy fighting some... thing. It was like a white blob, which reminded her of Starfire's almost husband. But this blob knew how to fight. Beast Boy was helpless, anytime he struck the thing with any form of animal, the shock of feeling the electric substance hurt him terribly. He soon was panting. The blob seized its chance and threw a blob that weighed a ton at BB. Beast Boy couldn't manuever around in time, and was hit full force. He plunged backwards and smashed into a brick wall that the people that lived below had been making. Beast Boy cracked his head open and fell unconsiously to the floor. The blob disappeared as it saw Raven fly straight towards it, ready to fire anything that came to mind. Raven stopped and quickly rushed over to Beast Boy. A pool of blood surrounded him, he was certainly dead. A tear fell down her cheek. She did have a feeling for him, though she couldn't express it in anyway. But now she did, as she cried over his limp form.
"Why..." Raven muttered. Then the words of Tru came back to her. "Your choice was wise, Dear Raven. You shall not regret it, though the feeling will be a shock at first." Wondering about those words she turned Beast Boy's head so he faced her. She now knew what Tru had meant. She backed away from his sodden form, and stood, waiting. Then it happened.
"Help me." Beast Boy whispered, his eyes glittering. Raven gasped and took a step back from the nightmare in front of her. Time seemed to fly backwards, then darkness.
Ness: Wasn't that an exciting chapter!
LadyHood: Hmmm.... It was short because I wondered whether or not to continue....
Ness: You killed Beast Boy! How could you.
LadyHood: I felt he would be great as the first victim.
Both: Please Review! Thank you for reading!
