Chapter 5: Forbidden Name
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
While the others were out, Raven lied that she needed training and meditating practice. She was just trying to cover up the fact that she was reluctant to go with the others to the library. She didn't need to look up anything to find out what she already knew. Everything the Titans have been trying to find out were already well-known facts of
Raven's. She didn't want them to get anymore suspicious than they already were. Why was she doing this to herself? This wasn't going to make her seem anymore trustworthy to the Titans, always running away. She needed somebody to talk to, somebody light-hearted, but can understand what she was going through.
She began to sing to herself in her room. It was a silly little hobby, but she wasn't ashamed of her voice. She just never really thought the others would understand her liking such a different kind of interest. She lay down on her bed and sang one of her favorite songs. (A/N: And one of mine as well!)
You Don't remember me, but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream? And dream I do
She needed to find truste in somebody. She looked up at her small picture of Beast Boy, which she kept hidden inside her drawer. She knew who she needed to turn to.
I believe in you, I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe, you're taking over me
Raven was being taken over, taken advantage of, not just by Beast Boy's trust, but her dark secret which she kept hidden away, so no one could ever see.
(A/N: I skipped the second verse cuz I wanted to the part of the song that actually fits with the story)
Raven then picked up her mirror, and looked deeply into her mirror. But she never saw her own reflection, but another's. One with four red eyes and a demonic smirk. If she listened closely, she could hear it whispering: "Come to meeeeee......"
I look in the mirror, and see your face
So many things inside that will just blind you are taking over
This wasn't just some little hormone problem or not being able to control her emotions or powers, oh no. This was bigger.... much bigger. Nothing that any other girl at her age had to deal with.

After the Titans finished dinner, the boys all whent to play vidio games while Starfire whatched and cheered them on.
"Wait, who's turn for dish duty?" Cyborg realized as he sat down, grabbing the computer
"Not me! I did it yesterday and the day before!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"Robin and I did it all last week!" Starfire said as she sit down next to Robin.
"I'll do it." Raven said plainly.
"On second thought, I'll give you a hand." Beast Boy got up to help Raven in the kitchen.
"So... did you find anything at the library?" She asked while stacking the clean dishes.
"Oh! Yeah, we found all kinds of cool things on chakrahs. Now at least I know what you use them for." Beast Boy said with a light chuckle.
"The seventh chakrah other known as the third eye, which represents the heirachy in telekinisis." Raven explained, trying not to smile.
As they continued to wash the dishes, they tried not to look at each other, but niether of them could help it. Beast Boy, would catch a glimpse of her, but when she looked up, he would have to look back down. Suddenly, they both reach for the same plate. Beast Boy's hand was now on top of hers.
This caused them to both look up at each other. They smiled and stared for a few seconds. Underneath the water and soap, Beast Boy realized that Raven had very soft, smooth hands. But then Raven realized what she was doing, and looked back down to focus on the dishes.
"Oh hehe, sorry." Beast Boy said as he blushed. Raven couldn't help but blush too.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Robin began as he walked in. "We found some information on the stone. Raven, do you know anything about a villain named Trigon?"
As soon as that last word left his lips, Raven's blood ran cold. The name rang through her ears, screaming through her head. She was holding about ten plates in her hands which she dropped at the very instant. They shattered loudly, which caused the other Titans to turn their attention to her. Her face began to grow pale as she starred wide-eyed into space. She starred and starred into space. All the Titans were now in the kitchen and once again was that horrific scilence ringing about.
"R-raven?" Cyborg studdered.
"W-what did you say?" she whispered, terrified.
"What? Trigon?" Robin asked confussed, "What's wrong with-"
"Don't EVER say that name around me!" Raven snapped, "You hear?!? NEVER!!" her eyes began to glow red.
"Raven! Please calm down! He did not know..."
"I DON'T CAR IF HE DOESN'T KNOW! YOU DON'T KNOW EITHER!" she yelled at Starfire.
"What? It's not like it's a bad word or anything." BB cracked a joke. Raven glared at him. When the refridgerator behind her glowed a balck aurora around it and exploded. Raven was startled and gasped at what she did behind her. She starred at her mennicing hands as she began to breathe extremely heavily. She covered her hand with her mouth as she ran off to her room.
"Not the best thing to say, Beast Boy." Robin glarred at him.
"What? I was just trying to calm her down." Beast Boy tried to defend himself.
"Do your jokes EVER make her feel better?" Cyborg pointed out.
"Well.. no but- Well, I always get on her nerves no matter what I do! I just want to know more about her. Is taht so hard? I mean she never tells us anything! Something's up with Raven and I want to at least know about it!"
"You might want to start by apologizing." Starfire said while picking up the pieces of broken dishes.
"She's right." Robin said.
"Man, I feel so stupid! I can't believe I said that to her! I'll go apologize right now!" Beast Boy said as he ran off.
Beast Boy ran as fast as he could up to Raven's room. Out of breathe, he knocked on Raven's door.
"Raven?"
