Sorry about not updating, (for those of you who actually read this), I'm going to try and update every week or so. Its all I can manage with all the school crap I got going on. Thanks for reading, as always, Read and Review and flames allowed. Story ideas always welcome and if appropiate I'll use your idea in the story, (Most likely with a few changes but you understand that. Will give credit where credit is due.

Chapter 1:

"Titans, check in." Robin got the response he expected but didn't want. "Nothin' here." Called in Cyborg. "I have yet to see our friend anywhere." Came Starfires report. "Keep searching." After Beast Boy saw the thugs body he had changed into a hawk and flew off. They had searched for him but couldn't find him. The radar only told them that Beast Boy had left his communicator back at home base. Or did it? "I've got a lead, I'll contact you if I have any luck." "Aight," Said Cyborg. "Me and Star are gonna continue the search together." "Good, call me if you find anything."

Robin headed for the tower. As he got closer he noticed the signal was coming from Ravens room, Beast Boy. They hadn't moved any of her belongings out of respect for her and of fear for what might happen if they tried. He moved through the hallway, heading to Ravens room. He stopped in front of the door and listened. In between choked sobs he heard words. "...have to die, Raven? Why did it have to happen. Why couldn't I have come sooner. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE!?" Robin entered the room slowly. Beast Boy was on his knees with his head on the foot of the bed, tears in his eyes. "Beast Boy..." The sobs turned to a growl. In an instant Robin was pinned to the wall. Beast Boy gave another low growl. "You could have done something about it, you could have found out who it was!" "Why didn't you do something about it!?" He yelled. Robin could only stare at the floor and shake his head. "There was no evidence, no DNA, just-just her missing crystal." "Liar!" Beast Boy yelled, slamming Ronin agianst the wall. "What about-about, what about the other thing that the prick did to her, huh?" "You could have gotten DNA from that couldn't you?" Robin just shook his head again. "Why not, why can't we just get this guy!?" Tears were once again coming to Beast Boys eyes, but there was something else in those eyes, something angry and waiting to be released. The Beast inside was slowly coming out, slowly waking, slowly destroying anything but hate and the want for revenge. Robin could see it eating away at his friend. And yet, could do nothing to stop it. Robins communicator went off. "Yo, Robin we haven't found anything. How 'bout you?" Looking at Beast Boy while he said it. "No, nothing." Beast Boy smiled a small sad smile and opened Ravens window and flew out. Robin closed the window and moved to his room. Lying down on his bed he fell into the only dreamless, uninterupted sleep he would have for a long, long time.

Single tear and black rose drop to the cold dirt below, one and the same.

Scarlet memories play through the mind.

Happy memories do not belong here, grief, anger, depression.

That is what belongs in this place.

One tear drop for each memory, each emotion

Struggling for control.

Death consumes this place, dark and forboding.

That is what this place is made of.

Lost loved ones abide here, friends forgotten, control forgotten.

The Beast awakens.

Back is turned on the life of before, thoughts turn to her, and to death.

Everything else, forgotten in the darkness.

End chapter 2, Notes: Already encountering writers block, ideas oh so welcome. Thanks for appreciating a first time writer like me.
