Chapter 6: "Someone to Talk to"
Hey! I'm SSOOOOOOO glad you all liked my last chapter! For those who were wondering, that stuff Raven was chanting in chapter two was supposed to Azerathian. I just made up the sillables. And for those of you who didn't know, Arella is Raven's mother, Azar was Raven's trainer, and Trigon is.... well, you'll find out later.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Raven?" Beast Boy knocked even louder this time. Nobody answered. He began hearing strange noises coming from behind her door. He couldn't quite explain explain what they sounded like. It was like nothing he had ever heard before. But what ever it was, it didn't sound too good.
"Raven? Raven! Are you alright? I'm sorry for the jokes I was telling before. I was just trying to-" he was cut off when he heard a low roar comming from Raven's room.
"Raven?!" he began growing impatient and worried something had happened to her. He transformed into a rhino and busted down the door. But when he saw what was on the other side, he began to feel relieved. Raven was the only thing there. She was sitting at the edge of her bed with her hood up, and eyes clossed. She didn't get startled or even look up when Beast Boy entered her room. It was like she didn't even realize he was there.
"Raven! Thank God, you're okay. What's with the creepy noises? You watching a horor movie or something?"
Raven continued just to sit there. She didn't reply to Beast Boy, or move a muscle. This began to freak BB out.
"R-Raven?" he said sounding more frightened. He slowly took a few steps forward to her. "Are you... feeling okay?" he said as he continued to walk forward until he was a few feet away from her. He waved his hand infront of her face. "Yoo-hoo? Raven? Snap out of it!"
All of a sudden, Raven's head shot up once he took another step closer. She had four red eyes glowing from under her hood. Beast Boy screamed at what startled him. Slowly and ghastly, she stood up from her bed, and walked slowly towards BB, like she was some kind of ghost. Beast Boy began to back up slowly.
"Raven! What's wrong with you?! It's me, Beast Boy!" There was no reply from Raven. She stepped closer and closer to him. Her eyes were bloody-bright red. She picked him up by the color as a yellow glow surrounded BB. She began to strangle him as he choked.
"R-raven!" he could barely say, "S-stop! Ple-ease!" he wheezed.
Just then, Raven's firey red eyes changed back into their normal soft violet color. She gasped and let him go imediately as he fell to the ground and hit the floor hard. She began breathing very heavily, and starred at her menacing hands once again. She looked at him trying to catch his breath, with hurt in her eyes.
"B-Beast Boy..." she said tenderly, "I'm so sorry! Please, don't tell anybody. I just-"
"What happened?" he asked getting. There was that long scilence again that ran a chill up both of their spines. Raven couldn't explain it. How can she possibly put this into words? She almost kills Beast Boy, and she can't find an explaination for it.
"I..." she started, "I can't tell you." she whispered.
"But why not?" he asked sounding frusterated.
"I just can't." she looked at the ground. "Now... just go." she looked away from him and pointed to the exit.
"But-"
"GO!" Raven cut him off. Beast Boy sighed as he started towards the door, but then something flashed in his mind and he turned around. He took her hand.
"No! I'm not leaving you until I figure out what's going on with you, Raven!" Beast Boy snapped, "Something's wrong and you're not telling us! And I just want to know!"
BB held on tight to her hand and stroked it with his thumb. Raven looked down at his hand holding hers, and then looked back up at him. He seemed quite annoyed but still, he was only concerned for her.
"Beast Boy, I told you," Raven began "I don't want you worrying about me. All of you already have enough of your own problems. Why should I bother dragging you into mine?"
"I've got time." BB smiled.
Raven looked back at her mirror that was sitting on her bed, but then looked back at Beast Boy's soft face. "Alright," she finally said, "But you have to SWEAR you won't tell ANYBODY."
"Done." he said still smiling. They both took a seat on her bed, as Raven began her story.
"Well, I don't really know exactly where to begin. First off, about Trigon. I'm suprised you don't know about him, since you've seen him before." Raven began.
"I saw him before?" BB looked puzzled.
"You and Cyborg. Remember when you found my mirror? That lead into my mind where I keep all my emotions. They're all really dangerous. That's why I can never really cry, or get mad, o-or laugh at your jokes." Raven smiled.
"So you DO think I'm funny!" Beast Boy laughed.
Raven blushed. "Sometimes. Other times it's kind of korny, but I like it when you try really hard. Anyway, my most heavilly guarded emotion was made sure to never be let out. It's extremly dangerous. Worse than all the rest. The one I was forbidden to feel, and the one that made me almost kill Dr. Light. That emotion... is rage, anger, hate, fury, evil... which ever you perfer. And that emotion is represented by my father...... Trigon."
Beast Boy starred at her, wide-eyed almost scared to death. "Trigon is your FATHER?! That big, red, four-eyed demon we saw in your miror?! That's your FATHER?!?"
Raven looked down, knowing she should't have said that, but she needed to. She needed to tell somebody. It was her only chance to keep her sanity. She nodded in reply.
"But that wasn't the real him. It was the part of him that was sent down to me. It was his evil. It's hard to explain. He raped my mother. He took advantage of her, and planted a seed inside her. Which made her have me. That waas the only reason why I was born. To spread his evil. But my mother didn't want that to happen to me. My poor mother, Arella. She began seeing things, thinking she was posessed." her eyes began to water with tears. as her voice became more and more intense.
"It was so bad, she almost commited suicide! But she fought it, and saved me. She fled to Azerath, where I was born. As I grew up, they realized I had a special gift. I was able to have control over any objects. I was born with a very noble gift of telekinisis. But my emotions were unruley. I needed training to keep my emotions inside.
"So they gave me the best noble priestest and trainer in Azerath. Her name was Azar. She taught me how to control my emotions and use my powers right. She taught me how to meditate and she gave me that mirror so my emotions would never haunt me. But still I feared the day when Trigon would return and posess me into what I really am."
Beast Boy was shocked to hear all this. He was speechless. He didn't know what to say, so he let her continue.
"I don't know how that book got in the library..." she said softly, but frightened, "I'm the offspring you read about in the book, I'm the child of Trigon. I'm the one everybody in Azearth is trying to find, and I'm scared to death."
Beast Boy couldn't believe she was actually scared. He expected something in the room to blow up any second. He couldn't believe she never told them any of this. Tears began to run from both her eyes, and his.
"Beast Boy..." she whispered, with her eyes filled with tears, trying to admit the horrible truth "................................................ I'm a demon......"
Beast Boy starred even more wide-eyed than before. He finally spoke. "Raven... I-I had no idea... I'm sorry."
"But I hate it." tears began to swell up her face. "I can't sleep. The visions I keep having, the faces I keep seeing, the voices I keep hearing!" she paniced "They won't go away! It never goes away! My blood is stained with my demonic herritage, and there's nothing I can do about it!" she shouted with her eyes becoming bloodshot.
"And all this time, I thought it was because you didn't trust us with your secrets." Beast Boy said.
"No, It doesn't have anything to do with that. I trust you guys more than anybody else. I'm just afraid that you guys wouldn't trust me. How can I be one of the Teen Titans when there's such an evil presence in my blood? I didn't want you to find out. The Teen Titans is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I didn't want to lose it."
Just then, her desk glowed black, and melted to bitts.
"UUURRRGGGHH!!" Raven started getting really frusterated she got up and started pacing around the room as she groaned. "I HATE MY LIFE! I HATE THESE STUPID POWERS THAT I CAN'T EVEN CONRTOL, I HATE NOT BEING ABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING WITHOUT BLOWING SOMETHING UP! I HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE! I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN!!!"
As she said this, everything around BB started glowing black and flaoting all over the place. BB had to keep cathing and dodging objects.
"RAVEN!!" he screamed louder than she was. This made her stop. Everything fell to the ground again. "Don't you dare say that. Don't ever let me hear you say that. I've hated alot of things in my life, but if there's one thing I don't hate, it's you."
Raven looked at him in conffusion. He walked up to her, and tilted up her chin. He moved some hair behind her ears as he looked at her like he never thought he would have before.
"W-what are you doing?" she asked with a confussed, yet frightened look in her eyes.
Beast Boy placed his index finger on her lips. "Sssssssshhhhhhh..." he said gently as he put his moved his arm down to her waist. "Just go with it.." he whispered tenderly into her ear. His breath rushing against her ear seemed to make her tremble and melt inside. His arms moved all around her waist and back. She was suprised at BB, for he was doing this very smoothly. Almost like he had done it before. Was this really even BB? She couldn't resist it any longer. She gave in, and fell under his spell.
Their faces were now incredibly close to each others. They could feel the warmth of each other's breath. Their noses touched as they both leaned in for the hardest part. Their lips were less than a centimeter away from each other and about to experiance an entire new feeling, when the Titan alert went off.
Both of them stopped what they were doing and let out a groan. But now when they looked back at each other and realized what they were just doing, and it scared them. Both of them were scarlet red.
They heard Cyborg's voice over the intercom, "Yo! BB! Ray! Get your butts down here! The H.I.V.E. acadamy was just spotted down town!"
Before they went out Raven's door, BB stopped her for a second. "Tonight. The roof. Midnight." he said as he slowly slid his hand down towards her butt.
"Deal." she said and then slapped BB as hard as she could for what BB just did.
"Ow!" he said. But he realized that he desserved it. Yep, that was BB. The flirty corny, slightly perverted green guy.
They both raced off to meet with the others.
