Chapter 8: "The Face Inside"
I decided to another song fic, "Papercut" by Linkin Park, cuz it's a really good intense song for a part like this and I just love it song so much!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raven couldn't bare this much longer. Beast Boy helped her back to the tower, still with spliting pain in her head. He sat her down on the couch, breathing extremely heavy. This pain was unbarable. He emotions were shown too much.
***Why is it night today? Something in here's not right today, Whay am I so uptight today? Paranioa's all I've got left****
The pain was cutting through her like a knife. It spread throughout her body. Tears began to drift from her eyes. Her chakra began to glow vigorous yellow........... He was near. She could sense it.
***I don't know what stressed me first, or how the pressure was fed, But I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head****
"Raven!" Beast Boy held onto her, "Please be alright! I'll get help! I promise! Just please don't die!" he kissed her forhead. This seemed to ease the pain a little. But only a little. BB ran throughout the towwer, banging on everybody's door. Not stopping until they finally opened it.
The first door he went to was Starfire's. Out of breathe, he pounded on it violently for almost a minute. "STAR! WAKE UP!!" he screamed. A weary Starfire opened the door, still in her pajamas.
"Is this some kind of earth morning ritual? Because if it is not, I would like to return to my slumber." she said in a lazy voice with her eyes half open.
"Star! There's something wrong with Raven! Help me get the others up!" he said, rushing her.
"Goodness! Is she alright?" she said, now more awake.
"I don't know! Just hurry!" BB yanked her out of her doorway to go get the other Titans.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raven continued to be in as much pain as she was before. Nobody could figure out what's wrong with her, for she could barely speak.
***It's like a face that I hold inside, A face that awakes when I close my eyes, A face that watches everytime I lie, A face that laughs everytime I fall****
"Her temperature seems fine, blood pressure normal too." Cyborg said as he did a quick scan of Raven's health stats.
"Beast Boy, It's him..." Raven said, pannicing
***It watches everything****
Beast Boy was the only one who knew what she was talking about. He placed his hand on top of hers.
"Don't worry, Ray. You'll be okay. I'll make sure of it." he said, trying to comfort her.
***So I know that when it's time to sink or swim, The face inside is hearing me, right underneath my skin****
"Who's 'him'"? Robin asked, puzzledly.
"Should I tell them?" BB asked for Raven's permission.
"No! It's my story, I'll tell them." she said, now trying to act more calm.
"First, my... mirror.." she said faintly, "Get me my mirror!" Starfire did as she was told.
She rushed up to Raven's room and searched for it in the dark shadows. Finally, she was able to discover the mirror on top of her desk. She retrieved it, and shot back downstairs. Starfire handed it to Raven.
Raven gazed deeply into it, and for once, she saw her own reflection. But it didn't last long. For just a split second, her reflection flashed into her with a red face and horns.
***It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back, It's like a whirlwind inside of my head, It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within***
She screamed in horror for what she had just seen. This caused the mirror to flash a black aura and throw itself a few feet away from her. She held her knees and closed her eyes tight.
***It's like the face inside, It's right beneath my skin****
"What? What did you see?" Cyborg asked as they all looked at her in question.
Raven went wide-eyed once again as if she was in some sort of trance.
***I know I've got a face in me, Points out all the mistakes to me, You've got a face on the inside too, And your paranoia is probably worse****
"I saw myself..." she said in a hissing whisper, "Myself as what I might become one day...my true face...the face of the daughter..."
***I don't know what set me off first, but I know what I can't stand, Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can****
"Raven, please tell us what is wrong!" Starfire said with tears in her eyes, "You are one of my best friends, and I do not want to loose you!" She tried to hug Raven, but she paid no attention. Raven continued to stare wide-eyed out into the open, not hearing a words she was saying.
***But everybody has a face that they hold inside, A face that awakes when they close their eyes, A face that watches everytime they lie, A face that laughs everytime they fall****
"PLEASE listen to me, Raven!" Starfire sobbed, as she tried to desperately shake her friend out of the trance.
***It watches everything, So you know that when it's time to sink or swim, The face inside is hearing you too, right inside your skin****
"It's not going to do any good, Star." BB said in dissbelief. "She wakes up when she wakes up. Believe me, I've tried. She sees something."
***It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back, It's like a whirlwind inside of my head, It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within, It's like the face inside, It's right beneath my skin****
Even though it was morning, and the sun was already slowly beginning to rise, it seemedas if it was going down again. WIth the overwhelming, unleashed powers of Raven's aura, forced the sun to leave Titan's Tower.
****The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me***
Raven finally woke from her illusion. Her eyes had a sense of life in them again.
"Oh, Raven! You are unharmed!" She said hugging her again, but then she realise how Raven didn't quite always appreciate this, so she let go.
"Who says I wasn't?" she frowned.
"Ray, what's going on here? Cuz this is all getting really confussing. Mind letting us in on this?" Cy finally had the chance to ask.
Raven looked at them, then at BB, then down at her mirror, "Beast Boy, it's worse than I thought...."
"What's worse?" Robin asked growing impatient.
"Guys...................................... I'm posessed......."
***the face inside is right beneath the skin****
