SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN SOOOOOOO LONG! I just needed a little break!
Chapter 9: "Just Too Real"
The morning had been so reluctant to come, the sky was still dark filled with grey clouds. With mist pouring into each crack from the clouds and a wet, cool, spine tingling feeling had set the tone. The Titans had been up for hours in shock trying to clear things up. Barely anyone said a word the rest of that morning. They always suspected there was something extraordinary about Raven, but weren't quite expecting this. But this was real. Just too real.
Beast Boy sat down next to her stroking her hand. Raven bit her lip, trying not to feel her fear slip away and lose control.
Starfire was petrified at all of this. Though she barely knew what posessed meant, she still did. Star wanted to cry so hard like she just watched some kind of tragic movie, but this was real. Too real. Just as real as when Robin was Slade's apprentice. That was real too.
Beast Boy was the first one to finally find the bravery to speak. But it was barely anything. The only word that he managed to make come out of his mouth was a small, soft, scared word. ".......why?..."
"Why what?" Raven asked coldly.
"Why?" Beast Boy said "Why everything? Why is any of this happening? Why didn't you tell us this before?! Why are you not telling us these things?!" his voice began to get more fierce, "Why didn't you want us to help you?!? Why are you-"
He paused for a second and looked at Raven. His eyes filled withhurt and even tears, "Why are you...."
Beast Boy could no longer finish. He just needed to hold Raven in his arms and never let go, or at least try never to. So he did. Raven gave no rejection.
"Beast Boy, there's nothing I can do about it." Raven said in his arms. "It's a part of me that I can't get rid of. I don't think it will do much harm... not now at least..."
"What do you mean not now?" Robin questioned. "You mean this thing just comes and goes?"
"I don't know. It just happens when it happens. And when it does, it's not good. Something that just strikes a nerve." she explained.
"So... you will not be the evil Raven?" Stafrie looked up with a little hope in her watery eyes.
"No, at least I don't think so... not now... I can feel when I'm being taken over by another. My anger escaped by accident when I was with Dr. Light. I'm not sure if it was either a complete random moment, or something about him made me lose control. All we can do is be ready."
"Then we will be ready." Cyborg answered.
"Yes, we are all united friends that will stand up agains anything!" Starfire said with confidence.
"And we'll all be there. Together." Robin completed.
Soon Starfire hugged Raven and Beast Boy, followed by Robin, then Cyborg picking them all up from the ground.
"Okay, enough love." Cyborg chuckled as he let go of all of them.
The sun finally seemed to come out.
"So.... you're alright?" Robin checked.
"For now." she replied. "I'll explain it all later."
"We've got time" Robin assured.
"Yeah, you can tell us at breakfast."
"Yes. It is now dawn and we shall begin our morning feast! Do you wish to join us, Beast Boy?" Star offered.
"..huh?" Beast Boy looked up, "What? Oh, yeah. Sure. I'll be there in a sec."
He turned to Raven. She was still in his arms. As soon as they both realised what they were doing, they nugged away and blushed a little.
"This is all a little too real... Cy's right. You need to get this off you mind for a while... I mean- um, uh breakfast! That's what I meant! Hehe... that's a good way to get it off your mind... much better than.. other ways..."
He blushed like mad. Beast Boy needed to change the subjuct quick.
"Hey, were you crying?" Beast Boy looked suprised.
"Not as much as you." she chuckled slightly. She cracked a smile and tried to wipe her tears away. She needed a little time with her friends to get all of this stress off her mind. "So... um... Beast Boy,"
"Yeah?"
"We're good friends... right? You'll be there for me, no matter what? You'll always trust me?"
"I already trust you more than anybody I know, Raven." Beast Boy smiled with his bright green eyes, shining through his glistening tears in the sunlight.
"Hey! You guys eatin, or what?" Cyborg called them over.
They both gave each other a quick smile and headed over to the kitchen. They both sat down and Raven began telling her story, just like he did to Beast Boy.
"Well, it all started with a woman named Angela Roth..."
FINALLY! An update! WOHOO!! Okay, I'm back on track with my story once again! I just needed a little vacation from writing I guess ; I promise to update sooner now! LOTS sooner! Chow for now!
