Chapter 5:
Raven stood on top of a dark roof. She glared around. Shadow formed in front of Raven. She grinned widely. Raven swung at her. Shadow dodged and sent a spell at Raven. The spell hit Raven. She managed to stop it. Raven was too late. Shadow came at her and kicked her. Raven flew back over the edge. Shadow dove after her and grabbed her hand. She pulled Raven back to the roof top and threw her on the ground.
"Why didn't you let me fall?"
"I'm too smart for that Raven. You would have levitated and came back. I just wanted to get one more hit on you."
"Why?" Raven asked standing.
"Well, I wanted to do this," said Shadow kicking her in the jaw.
Raven fell back. She smacked her head on a metal pipe sticking out of the roof. Raven cried out. Shadow slowly walked towards her. A puddle of blood began to form.
"Goodbye, Raven," said Shadow, sinking into the building and away from the dying Titan.
"Where is she?" Beast Boy kept asking a loud.
They had split up in search for Raven. BB took to the skies above downtown. He couldn't see anything. Then a light caught his attention. Then, a falling person over the edge of the building. Someone grabbed the person and took them back to the roof. BB flew in that direction as fast as he could.
'Is this what dying feels like?' Raven asked herself. 'It feels cold. Why am I so cold? Why does my head hurt. Where am I? Beast Boy, help...'
"Raven!"
'Who's there? Who's calling for me?'
"Raven! Raven, are you okay?"
'Is that Beast Boy?'
"Raven, wake up!"
'I can't. Help me, Beast Boy! Don't let me fall into darkness!'
"Raven, hold on!"
She drifted off into unconsciousness.
BB transformed as he landed on the roof.
'There's no one up here,' he thought as he walked around.
Then, he saw her.
"Raven!"
She didn't reply.
"Raven! Raven, are you okay?"
BB picked her up. He felt something wet hit his hand. He pulled back. It was blood.
"Raven, wake up!" he yelled again.
'I can't. Help me, Beast Boy!' Raven's voice entered his head. 'Don't let me fall into darkness!'
"Raven, hold on!" he yelled. "Raven, I promise that you will be okay!"
BB grabbed his communicator and called out to the others.
"I found her! Hurry!" he yelled.
Just as soon as he called, they all found him. Cy picked her up.
"Come on! Just don't sit here!" Robin yelled at BB as he and Cy ran towards the stairs to the roof.
Starfire looked at BB. Tears were pouring from his green eyes. Starfire touched his shoulder. He looked at her.
"Raven will be fine, Beast Boy."
BB stood. He ran and transformed into a hawk, following Robin and Cy. Starfire soon joined.
They took her to the nearest hospital. A doctor came and took Raven from Cy's arms. BB and Starfire arrived just as the doctor carried her away.
"Where are they taking her?" BB asked.
"I don't know, B," Cy replied.
"She's going to okay, right? Right, Cy?"
"I don't know," Cy replied with the same answer.
BB slamed his fists into the nearest wall.
"I knew that this would happen! She warned me! And I let it happen!" he yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Robin asked.
"Raven told me to run before she passed out yesterday. She warned me about Shadow and I let this happen!"
"She would have went after her, B. There was nothing we could do."
"I could have stopped her! I could have kept her at the tower, safe. Now, I'm killing her!" BB yelled running after her.
"Beast Boy!" called Robin.
But, he was already close to Raven. He saw a few doctors arguing over her.
"Where is all this blood comming from?"
"Where is the wound?"
"If we don't stop this, she'll die!"
BB gasped.
"Hey! You shouldn't be in here!"
BB felt a large hand grab him and pull him out of the room. He looked up in Cy's face.
"She's going to okay, right? She's Raven. Nothing happens to her."
"I told you this already, B. I don't know."
"But, she's Raven! She can't die! Not yet! I haven't told her how I feel!"
Cy looked at him. Tears still poured from his eyes. Cy pulled him away and towards the waiting room. Robin and Starfire were there. Robin was trying to read a magazine. Starfire was pacing, tears comming from her emerald eyes. So, BB sat and waited. He waited for his love to come out okay.
