Chapter Three :::: The Pendent

I want to thank my readers and reviewers for taking the time to read this Fic! I love it and as I told my good friend Valerie... it's coming along... I have an unusually good feeling about this one. :D READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Beast Boy sat alone in his room looking aimlessly towards the wall. His hand supported his head as he wondered ponderously what in god's name he should do. He was so puzzled, perplexed that the overwhelming emotions veiled the real Beast Boy. The rest of the team never had encountered such a solemn BB. They didn't even know that Beast Boy could do solemn. It was awkward. The Titan Tower had never been quieter.

Perhaps he thought, he should write all that troubled him. He found the book Starfire had purchased for him the previous year and his messy scrawl wrote in the miniature journal; pouring out his entire soul.

He wheeled around to make sure the door was secure and locked. He wanted to make sure it was not keen to notice that 'he' Beast Boy did write in a journal. That was a girl thing.

But as soon as the ball point blue pen touched the first line of the new crisp page Beast Boy began to write away, letting time pass unnoticed. An entire book was sure to be written.

Along the lines of the words, he included the sensation and over-dramatic feeling he felt, when he awoke from one of his dreams. He was clearly be teased with, by his own self.

'It's like being put on the highest point in the entire world and being pushed off, the surging feeling of your stomach in your mouth is there and it never seems to stop; its always there.' He included.

"She seemed so REAL!" He yelled in reference of Terra. She was gone now and nothing was going to bring her back. He banged his green fist on the mahogany desk afterwards yelping in pain.

'These nights have been restless; I toss and turn thinking about Raven. Is she really okay? Is she hurt? I don't know this stuff and its literally killing me. Well not literally... but it's going to get there." He wrote on yet another page but before he realized, he was dozing into yet another dream.

"Raven? Rae? Where are you?" He questioned.

"Beast Boy, I'm here." the monotone voice responded.

"Then why can't I see you?"

"Stop being a pinhead and use your brain a little. On second thought... you never seem to have one" she remarked puzzled.

"Hey! I do too... its right here in my head."

"THEN USE IT!" she said making the surrounding areas echo. Beast Boy crouched in fear of the being. It was just then that he observed his neighboring places. Nothing was visible; it was almost as if he was put into a black box with nothing but air.

"Beast Boy, you must listen to me."

"Kay..." he retorted scratching his head. "Where am I anyway?"

"Rid the questions and PLEASE remember the words that I am about to tell you. Beast Boy, you must enter my room and get hold of the mirror... perhaps there you can read my mind and find my whereabouts. The kidnapper is... he's ..." she trailed off he noticed. "He's very easy to get to. Find knowledge, one of my emotions, and ask her to help you find the locations of my whereabouts... And tell the others... that I'm okay... you heard-"

He was being jerked yet again.

"STOP WAKING ME UP!!!!!!!" He yelled as the three other titans stood above him poking him in the stomach.

The [remaining] titans chibi style trembled with fear.

"We just thought you'd like a tofu dog BB." Said Starfire frightened, Cyborg nodded infavor of that too.

"No, I'm fine." They gasped. Beast Boy not wanting Tofu Food! Now that was unheard of.

"Beast Boy," Robin started "I know this stuff, I mean Terra and Raven, is coming down hard on you but-"

Beast Boy interjected however. A smile crept up on his lips, one that was genuine, one that hadn't appeared on his face since Raven was around.

"Raven... she's fine. She told me so." He said exiting his room to go to the bathroom. Cy, Robin, and Starfire stood stunned, their mouth touching the floor... How did he know? And why did his mood change so sudden... he hadn't smiled in days!

As he entered the small of the bathroom, Beast Boy closed the door behind him.

"So... I have to use the mirror do I? Well... [heh heh heh] the real Raven's probably going to kill me for this."

Section Fresh Up- Raven was just told by the kidnapper that his master was Trigon, her father, she responds:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"I don't have a father." She said coolly.

He briefly glanced into the mystifying dark eyes of hers, and tore his eyes away from them. The most truthful thing he could possibly come up with was that they made him sick. 'It was going to be difficult to deceive this one.' He inwardly thought.

"Well then... Trigon... not your father..." she eyed him cautiously as he said this. "Well he's coming back to potential strength. He's rising to power."

Raven absorbed every crevice every minor detail that there was to those previous sentences. Trigon [her father... she did NOT want to admit it] was retuning to strength. The means of that can result in catastrophe. The entire would not bear the evil and power of this man.

"I thought Trigon had perished..." started Raven, not noticing that a sweat drop had appeared dribbling down her face.

"Well... not exactly... he is being revived. I am bringing him back you..."

'What an idiot!' Raven's view of this "criminal" was. He... was revealing ALL his sources... this would definitely be a saved mission.

"So... you're bringing me back so that I, an absolutely nobody, can bring him back to power?" So much truth and deceive was put into that sentence. She was to recruit with the evil side of herself so that her father and she can rise to power... together... Like a father daughter event... How wonderful! NOT! This was a serious dilemma. This was no cheesy villain like Slade... this was Trigon a.k.a. the Devil... ruler of the underground.

"He wants the-" Raven started only to be finished by the "criminal[laughs]".

"Pendent." He concluded.

The pendent... such a supernatural object of obscurity... and Raven... was the only one who had possession of it. As a small child, her mother told her of the many powers it withheld and what it contained. A droplet of her fathers blood. This had all the power in the World, as it awakes the evil and innocent and revives the dead. It was the key to bring him back... a bit of his own blood. There was a catch [like there always is to something]... Somebody close and significant to you must be in order so that the pendent can be put into use. Raven was that other person for Trigon... blood is thicker than water I suppose. He interrupted her thoughts.

"My name, by the way, is Clayton Reed; you can just call me Clay."

"I will call you nothing." Raven responded coolly. "Get off of me." He staggered off, and Raven gasped for the air.

He held out a hand for her to shake. She simply spat on it. THE CRIMINAL WAS OFFERING HER A HAND SHAKE? Yea... okay... whatever.

"You steal me away from my home, and you expect me to shake that filthy hand of yours?" She commented. He nodded like the bloke he was. "I think not."

He wiped away the spit on his shorts and implied

"I wasn't offering you a hand to shake, it was a helping hand as to helping you up."

Raven turned beat red but she remarked quickly.

"I can get up by myself."

"Fine." Clay shot her a nasty look. At that second... her emotions were not in control and she could have blasted him away... but she didn't.

"My powers?" she whispered to herself. "Azerath Mentrion Zinthos!" she retorted. Nothing.... Her powers restrained themselves.

"Uh... what's the matter..." he questioned...

"My powers... they are gone." She said in a mere murmur.
