I don't own Teen Titans. If I did I wouldn't be writing FanFiction now, would I?

It had been a few nights since BB had first caught David sneaking out with Raven's magic spell ingredients.

Each night he would fly to an alley, there he would meet someone. The person would give David a sparkling liquid in a beautiful crystal vile.
Each night the conversation would be more or less the same...

"Here's more of the demon's powder, where is it?"

"Right here, now there are only (so&so) days until we shall begin," the person would say.

Then he would hand the vile to David, who would then fly back to the Tower, Beast Boy on his heel, literally.

But this night, the conversation was different...

"Here's the last ingredient, it's time," David said.

"It is almost time, apprentice, almost. We still need the demon, she is the key," the person said. It was hard to tell what color his eyes were as a fly, but Beast Boy was sure they were red, as were David's.

Beast Boy suddenly froze with terror. David was going to get Raven, then...who knows what could happen! By the sound of things, they weren't going to be nice to her.

Beast Boy changed into a hawk and hurtled back to the Tower, through Raven's window. He forgot he had closed the window behind him and crashed through it.

Raven awoke with a start.

"Beast Boy! What do you think you're doing!" she whispered.

He transformed back into a human.

"I've gotta get you out of here!"

He grabbed Raven by her arm and pulled her out of bed.

"Beast Boy, what are you...Ahhhh" Raven screamed.

A black, smoky jet of...something had just missed her face and hit her bookshelf, which was suddenly wrapped inside black tentacles spewing from the place where the smoke-beam had hit.

Beast Boy tugged Raven and yanked her through her window, just missing another smoke-beam from a black figure illuminated in the moonlight.

BB transformed into a hawk and flew at the figure, who knocked him aside. Raven hovered, staring at the fight happening infront of her eyes. She turned, all common sense leaving her, and zoomed to Jump City.

Far behind her, Beast Boy had turned into a pteranadon and was attacking the evil David.

He'd never trusted him.

David swiped at Beast Boy, leaving a cut across his chest. BB plummeted into the ocean.

Beast Boy transformed into a human, breathless, and started to swim to shore.

David smiled a wicked smile, then turned to where Raven was a moment ago. He was infuriated by the fact that she wasn't there. He started to fly toward land, toward Raven.

Raven was running, running faster then she had ever run before. She wanted to stop, but she couldn't. You couldn't cry while you were running, and Raven was determined not to cry. Beast Boy had been right, he was untrustworthy.

Raven had been betrayed...again. It hurt too much, the pain was unbearable. The only people that had ever loved her had both been pretending, planning to trick her in the end, she had no-one. No-one but herself. She was obviously destined to be lonely for eternity. It wasn't fair, nothing in her life had ever been fair.

She rounded a corner and stopped, panting, gasping for air. It was then she let all her hurt flow out. She wept, tears staining her face. Her lungs hurt from the adding pressure of running, panting, gasping and sobbing.

Then, she heard a noise behind her, like the flapping of wings. She turned her head around the corner, covering her hiccuping mouth.

David was standing there, huge black wings protruding from his back, red eyes glowing, vampire fangs sharp, and gleaming.

He seemed to be sniffing the air, then a grin spread across his lips. He disappeared.

Raven frowned, then got to her feet. She edged around the corner, eyes alert. He wasn't there. She turned around to see his evil face inches from her nose.

She gasped and he swiped at her, sending her flying into the opposite wall. As she hit it, she caused a crater in the bricks. She struggled to her knees and was hit by a smoke-beam that sent her further down the alley.

She tried to summon her powers, but her fear, heartbreak and tears were blocking them from coming through.

Raven was hit at once again by the traitorous vampire-boy.

She was knocked through the attic of an old house and hit a beam. Raven was almost unconscious now. Bleeding, aching, her vision blurred, she tried to stand.

David again swiped at her. Raven was knocked to the floor. To tired to even move, she stayed where she was, awaiting whatever fate that was looming over her now.

'First thing's first,' thought David, ' I must convert her,'

He grabbed Raven by the chin, knelt down beside her and his fangs doubled in length.

Raven shut her eyes, this was not going to end well.

I love cliffhangers. They make the world go 'round.
