Disclaimer: I've said it before, I'll say it again… I don't own the Teen Titans


Chapter 5: Raven's Confession

She was silent as she saw the four standing there in confusion and surprise of what she was doing in the cavern of the one she hates.

Finally she tried to speak.

"I…I came here to see how she was. I knew that erosion over time could damage her and when I got here, she was like this."

Now I'm lying too…I hope this doesn't come back to haunt me.

But she knew it would. All of this was only moments away from stealing her freedom unless they believed her.

"Is that really what happened?" Robin asked somewhat suspicious.

She said nothing. Her conscious was already feeling guilt from the first lie. Even her already pale skin was starting to lighten into that of a snowy white and her palms were beginning to sweat. Normally it wouldn't be so hard for her, but this involved death and Beast Boy was standing right there almost in tears at the sight.

"Raven, what really happened?" Robin asked again, this time a little harsher.

"J…just as I told you." It was hard to speak.

"Liar! We watched everything. You took a large stone and smashed Terra. Admit it!" Beast Boy shouted spearing her heart with every word that came from his lips. Still she couldn't find truth.

"Raven!"

"I smashed the statue!" She had broken and a random rock was shattered by her strong emotion.

The others stood and stared in horror. Only Beast Boys spoke.

"Why Raven? Why did you take away the only person that ever made me feel like I was wanted!"

"Because she wasn't making you feel wanted, she was making you her slave. She was always dragging you around and forcing you into things you didn't want to do."

Another rock exploded.

"No she didn't! I was always glad to be with her and she never forced me anywhere. Now tell the truth Raven! I can see it in your eyes that you're still lying to me."

"The truth?" They'd never believe me and he'd never accept it.

"Yes Raven… the truth."

She had already confessed how it had happened and that she had done it, why did she need a reason? She couldn't look at him. In disgrace, she looked away.

There's only one way out of this…Her mind spoke to her. She closed her eyes tightly and began to feel the fear that many people feel at this point in their lives. She swallowed hard but still kept her head turned away.

"RAVEN!"

"Beast Boy, calm yourse…"

But before Starfire could finish her sentence, Raven interrupted.

"I love you!"

Three more rocks above shattered and fell behind Raven. But other than that, everything was silent. It was as if time was standing still.

"Yo… you love me?" The changeling stuttered in disbelief. The only response he got was a nod from the goth.

"I… I hate you!"

"But Beast Boy… I was only protecting you."

"No! You were ruining my life like you always do!" He stopped himself and took a piece of the old statue from the ground. "I despise you, Raven. I never want to see you again."

With his harsh words said, he turned to leave Raven to collapse to her knees with tears raining from her eyes.

"Raven, I'm really sorry about this, but since there was a confession to the crime, I have to…"

"Just take me to prison before I cause any more pain, Robin."


"Raven, you are hereby sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Terra on the grounds of confession. You will be sent to a special cell designed to keep you from using your powers at all. Court is adjourned."

Those were the last words Raven heard in court. Those were the only words she had heard, no one had spoken on her behalf. Once she was outside the prison doors, she had one last person to speak with.

"Raven, I need your…"

"I know, my communicator." She stuffed the small yellow and black transmitter into the male's hands.

"I'm really sorry about all of this Rae. I hope you'll be alright."

"O.k., time's up." The husky guard said trying to hurry along the girl.

"Well, I guess this is good bye Raven."

"Wait!" She dodged around the policeman and ran up to Robin. "Please give this to Beast Boy… and tell him, I'm sorry."

He looked down at what she had handed him and became wide-eyed at what it was.

"Raven I…"

"Please!"

As he was about to complete what he was going to say, the guard grabbed her by the hair and pulled her away.

"You little ass! Quit stalling and let's go!"

But she still tried to run back.

"Please Robin….. promise me!"

"I promise."

She smiled for the first time in days but was soon stopped by the guard striking her down and pulling her up by her hair.

"I've had enough of you bitch! Shut the hell up and move your lazy ass!"

Robin moved forward to stop him, but was stopped himself by other guards.


Robin was gone. The guard was gone. Everyone and everything was gone. She felt nothing. No pain, no fear. No love or happiness would ever grace her soul again. She was a shell, a hollow shell only fill up space. Beast Boy had broken her completely emotionally and spiritually. She had always held some hope in her heart, but now all of it was gone. What little happiness she held had vanquished like sand being carried by the wind.

I hate you! His words were still burning in her mind like a hot iron brander to her heart. And the burning was only to continue.

All she could do was repeat herself over and over.

"I'm sorry Beast Boy. I'm so sorry."


End…. Of this chapter. I'd never end it here. I hated writing this chapter SO freakin' much it's not even funny. But I believe this is the worst point in the story so everything should be going up from here. Yay! Seriously I think I'll go jump off a cliff now and kill myself for writing such a horrible story. Oh yea, and you people still have a cliffhanger to go off of… what did she hand Robin? So as usual… REVIEW!
