Chapter 4: Sooner or Later

"Just call my name...you'll be okay...you're scream is crawling through my veins..."

"Raven!"

"Sooner or later your gonna hate it...go ahead and throw your life away...driving me under, leaving me out there...go ahead and throw your life away..."

"Raven!"

Raven looked around her dark prison. There was nothing...nothing.

"Just call my name...you'll be okay...you're scream is crawling through my veins..."

"Raven!" a voice called to her.

She turned her gaze up. There was a bright light over her. It wanted her to go through.

"Raven!"

"I'm hear!" she called back standing.

"Raven!" the voice cried.

Something hit her cheak. Raven wiped it off. It was a tear.

"Sooner or later your gonna hate it...go ahead and throw my life away...drving me under, leaving me out there...go ahead and throw my life away..."

"Raven!"

The light began to slip away.

"I'm hear! Help me!" she yelled back.

"Just call my name...you'll be okay...you're scream is crawling through my veins..."

"Raven!"

"I'm here!" she called.

"Sooner or later your gonna hate it...go ahead and throw our life away...driving me under, leaving me out there...go ahead and throw our life away..."

The light went out again.

Beast Boy placed his head by her. He had his hand in her cold one.

"Raven," he sobbed. "Raven, don't leave me."

'I'm here! Help Me!' said a voice in his head. 'I'm here!'

BB looked at Raven. He stood and looked in her pale face. A tear forced it's way from her closed eye.

"Raven!"

Robin and Cyborg ran into the room. Starfire came shortly after.

"What is it, B?" Cy asked.

"What happened?" Robin asked.

"Yes, what is it, Beast Boy?" asked Starfire.

"Nothing," BB replied sitting back down, stroking her hand. "It was nothing."

Cy and Robin exchanged glances. They left, leaving Starfire with BB.

"I believe that it is notnothing, Beast Boy," she said.

"It was nothing, Star. I promise."

Starfire placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You care much about Raven, do you not?"

BB nodded.

"Just don't tell anyone. Please, Star?"

"I will keep your secret, Beast Boy."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

Shadow stood against a wall. She heard BB scream, but stayed there as they all ran out. Robin and Cy came back in, worried.

"There is something BB isn't telling us," Cy said.

"I know what you mean," Robin added.

"He likes her," Shadow said.

They both looked at her.

"BB...likes Rae?" Cy asked.

Shadow nodded.

They both began to laugh. Cy fell on the ground. Shadow sighed and went into the room. Starfire was sitting in the window sill.

"I wish that friend Raven would awake," she said.

"She will. Raven isn't weak," replied BB.

'You two have got to be kidding me! I have her locked up so tight that she'll never come back,' Shadow thought.

"Oh, hello, Shadow," Starfire said noticing the girl.

Shadow stared at Raven.

'Are you this important to these people, Raven? Why don't you wake up and give them a reason to hate you?' Shadow thought scowling.

The girl closed her eyes, then opened them. Raven's eyes opened and she sat up. Starfire gasped, but not at Raven.

'It is Shadow that has done this to friend Raven. She has hurt her,' the alien thought.

BB threw his arms around Raven.

"You're awake!"

"Beast Boy, get off of me," Raven said, eyeing Shadow.

"Hello, Raven," Shadow said as BB pulled away from Raven.

"Hello, Shadow."

Cy and Robin came in. They looked at Raven, then at Shadow.

"It has been a long time since we saw each other face to face."

"It would have been longer," replied Raven standing up.

"Raven, what are you doing?" BB asked.

"Stay out of this, Beast Boy."

"But, Raven."

"You should listen to her. She might trap you in her mind for five years," Shadow said.

"I did it for a good reason, Shadow. You know that as well as I do."

"I did nothing for you to trap me!"

"You killed those-"

"Shut up. I'm tired of hearing your escusses, Raven!"

Raven began to grow mad.

"What is it, Raven. Are you getting angry? You know you can't."

"I guess that I have you to thank for that."

Shadow nodded. Raven charged at her, but Shadow sank into the ground.

"Raven!"

"Shut up! She'll get away! I have to find her!" Raven said.

"No, you have to rest," Robin said, grabbing her by the arm.

Raven turned.

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos!" she yelled, sending Robin crashing into Cy.

"Raven!" BB yelled as she disappeared.
