Chapter 11 'I'll be there.'
"Raven!" Chirped Beast Boy in a singsong voice from outside her door. "Come on Rae…I brought you your tea!" Beast Boy knocked on her door again and sighed. Slowly the door creaked open. "Ummm…hello?" Asked Beast Boy. He pushed the door open fully not really caring if Raven got mad at him for interrupting her meditation. "Raven." He called again. Beast Boy turned to the wall where a huge hole was blasted through it. Beast Boy gapped as he dropped the teacup and it shattered to the ground.
Beast Boy quickly shook off his shock and looked around the room. "Raven?" He whispered. "Where are you?" suddenly something caught his eye on the floor. Beast Boy bent down and picked up the object inspecting it. Then it hit him he realized what it was; it was the jewel on Raven's cape. All of the fear drained out of Beast Boy and anger overtook him. Beast Boy dropped the jewel on the floor and turned into a bird flying out the hole in the wall.

"Robin, thank you for taking me on this delightful picnic." Said Starfire pulling out a large bottle of mustard from the picnic basket.
"No problem Star." Said Robin peering over his shoulder.
"Robin, friend Cyborg is not here." Said Starfire sighing.
"No…he's here…I can feel him." Said Robin.
Starfire looked slightly alarmed. "Please, boyfriend Robin…I do not like it when you are…not right in the head." Said Starfire.
Robin sighed. "I'm sorry Star…so anything new happen today."
Starfire leapt up. "Yes I found out that friend Raven-." She quickly slapped her hand over her mouth and sat down beside him once again. "Never mind." She squeaked.
Robin raised his brow. "Star…is there something you're not telling me?" He asked.
Starfire shook her head and sipped on her mustard.
"Starfire." Said Robin smiling at her.
Starfire took a long sip.
"Star." Said Robin.
Starfire set down the mustard and smiled back at him. "Yes Robin?" She asked.
"So…what did Raven say to you today?" Asked Robin.
"Ummm…I…she…but I…I was listening to friend Raven talking to herself last night and I may have heard her say that she likes…FRIEND BEAST BOY!" Starfire quickly slapped her hand over her mouth.
"Oh…is that all." Said Robin. "Wait…did you just say that Raven likes Beast Boy?"
Starfire nodded her head still clasping her mouth shut with her hand.
Robin smiled and leaned back onto the grass chuckling a little to himself.
"Ummm…Robin why are you laughing?" Asked Starfire appearing over him.
"I'll tell you latter Star." Said Robin.
"Oh…OK well-." Abruptly before Starfire could finish Robin leaned forward pressing his lips to hers. Starfire's eyes shot open but slowly she found herself leaning into him.

Slade threw Raven to the ground roughly and landed beside her. "Come." He said.
Raven looked up and glared at him. But she obeyed anyway. She followed Slade into the large cave. Raven shuddered every step she took into the cave it would get darker and darker.
"This way." She heard Slade call from somewhere in front of her.
Raven followed him into a large area of the cave, dimly lit with candles. And there in the middle of the floor was a symbol of a large S.
Raven gasped and took a step backwards. "You can't run my little bird." Said a booming voice.
Raven looked around frantically but no one was there even Slade was gone from sight.
"Where are you!" Yelled Raven. "Show yourself!"
"Honestly what would be the fun in that?" Asked the voice.
"SHOW YOURSELF!" She yelled again.
"Suit yourself." Said the voice. A large creature emerged from the side of the cave. Raven gasped and turned to run but before she could move she felt a grip tighten around her body and pull her backwards.
"NO!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

A small green bird hovered over the beach and landed on the boardwalk letting out a loud screech. The bird transformed into his normal self and sighed. "Raven!" called Beast Boy looking around. "RAVEN!" He yelled again even louder.
"NO!"
Beast Boy's ears perked up and he looked around. He saw kids on bikes, people on the beach, but no answer to where the noise was coming from. A loud shriek filled his ears, Beast Boy looked around once again but he didn't see any danger. He looked at each person's face no one seemed to be hearing these noises other than him.
"NO!" Yelled the voice again.
Suddenly it hit him. Raven. That's who it was. Beast Boy turned himself into a dog and sniffed at the ground. He could just smell the faint smell of lavender. Beast Boy took off, his nose leading the way.

"You will end what you started. You will fulfill the prophecy!" Yelled Trigon. "You were born to end the world Raven, and that's what you're going to do. You can't stop it and none of your little friends can either."
"NO!" Screamed Raven. "I won't listen to you!" She yelled.
"You don't have to listen to me Raven, you know what's going to happen in your heart…you just don't want to admit it…do you?" Snapped Trigon.
"I-I-Shut up!" She yelled. "Azerath Metrion Zin-."
Before she could finish Trigon threw her against the wall of the cave. Raven let out a loud scream as she hit the wall full force. Just than a loud squawk filled her ears. Raven looked up to see a green bird fly into the cave. Apparently so did Trigon. He glared at the bird and shot a ball of fire at it. Raven watched in horror as the bird fell in a heap to the ground.
"NO!" She yelled. She got up quickly her body aching from the hit to the wall. She ran over to the small green bird and knelt down beside it.
Suddenly the birds left eye opened and looked at her. The bird quickly transformed into its normal form and stared at Raven blankly.
"Beast Boy." Said Raven almost happily.
"Rae…what's going on?" Asked Beast Boy looking around.
Raven looked down. "My father's back." She whispered.
"But what does that mean I-." Began Beast Boy.
"APPRENTICE!" Boomed Trigon.
"Yes master." Said Slade appearing from the shadows.
"Dude!" Yelled Beast Boy. "Slade's an apprentice! Never thought I'd se the day when you worked for someone."
Slade glared at Beast Boy. "Apprentice." Said Trigon again. "Is this the one…the boy you told me of."
Slade nodded. "Yes master." Said Slade. And with that he turned and walked back into the shadows.
"Good." Said Trigon looking at Beast Boy menacingly.
"Ummm…Raven…is this man going to hurt me?" Asked Beast Boy in a small voice.
"Leave him alone." Snapped Raven. "He never did anything to you."
"Is that a fact?" Asked Trigon.
"Dude I don't even know you…and I think if I ever offended you in some way I'd know 'cause-wait a minute I did see you somewhere before." Beast Boy paused. "Oh I know I saw you that time me and Cyborg went into Raven's mind and she…you were…ummm…Raven s-should I be afraid now?" Asked Beast Boy.
Raven sighed. "Yes Beast Boy."
Beast Boy let out a high-pitched squeal and ran around the cave until he hit the wall and fell on the ground.
"Honestly." Said Trigon looking down at Raven. "Your taste in boys is very strange."
Raven glared. "Shut up." She mumbled.
"You know when my apprentice told me that you had friends I was shocked." Said Trigon smiling evilly.
"Shut up." Said Raven her voice getting louder.
"I mean did you tell them my little bird, do they even know about your past?" Asked Trigon.
"SHUT UP!" Yelled Raven her eyes started to glow red and she grew about seven feet taller. Which compared to Trigon really wasn't that tall.
Trigon smirked. He knew where this would lead to, Raven would get angry her demon side would come out and she would reek havoc on the city.
"RAVEN!" Yelled a small, squeaky, voice.
Trigon looked down to find the small green boy waving his arms frantically trying to get her attention. "Raven you need to calm down. Control your emotions!" Yelled Beast Boy.
Raven looked down her eyes turning their normal color and she shrunk back to her normal height.
"NO!" Yelled Trigon. He glared at Beast Boy. "Just what do you think your doing?"
Beast Boy looked up and gulped. "Ummm…I was just…I mean she was gonna…heh, my bad?"
Trigon grabbed Beast Boy and slammed him to the wall.
"Beast Boy!" Yelled Raven. She turned to her father. "Leave him out of this he never did anything to you!" She yelled.
"Oh but that's where your wrong." Said Trigon. "Don't you get it you foolish girl…he cares for you."
Raven glared at him. "You told me that no one would ever love a half-demon." She stated.
"True, but apparently this idiot for some reason beyond my knowledge does." Said Trigon. He watched Beast Boy fumble to get up. Trigon smirked and blasted him with fire.
"STOP!" Yelled Raven.
"You want me to stop don't you?" Asked Trigon. "But I won't, he loves you…but you can never return the feeling can you? My apprentice clams you feel the same way…I don't believe him." Said Trigon picking up Raven in one of his large hands. "You can't feel, you think you can but deep down you know you really can't."
Raven struggled to get free from his grasp but found that he was too strong. "L-lemmie go." She spat.
"No." Hissed Trigon. "You see I think I found a new way to fulfill this 'prophecy.' By destroying you and taking over your body I'll be able to receive your powers."
Raven looked at him fearfully. "T-that's not possible." She whispered.
"Oh…is it…well let's just see." Said Trigon. He squeezed her body until pain welled up inside of her and she let out a loud scream.
"RAVEN!" Yelled Beast Boy standing up shakily.
"Beast Boy." Breathed Raven in barely a whisper.
Trigon smirked. "He can't help you…no one can. You're going to die and then I'll take over your body and destroy the world."
"NO!" Yelled Raven gasping for air seeing how Trigon was crushing her lungs by now. "Azerath metrion zinthos!" Raven looked around nothing had happened. "Wha-."
"Your loosing your power." Said Trigon. "You're becoming weaker."
Raven closed her eyes tight. The pain was getting too unbearable. "Stop." She whispered.
"No." He hissed.
Suddenly he felt something land on his head. Trigon looked up to see a green bird flying around his head. "Why you." Said Trigon. He dropped Raven seeing how she was near death anyway and tried to blast Beast Boy.
Raven used the little strength that she had to levitate in the air. She watched Beast Boy land on the ground in his human form. For a moment his eyes caught hers he looked at her with sympathy and stood up again. Quickly Beast Boy turned to her. "Raven!" He yelled. "Hang on, keep fighting I know you can win!"
"Beast Boy, I can't!" She yelled back.
"Yes you can! I know you can." He yelled. "Hang on for Me." he whispered.
Suddenly Trigon slapped Beast Boy and sent him flying back onto the ground. Raven turned her head she couldn't bare to watch her father hurt Beast Boy anymore.
"RAVEN!" She heard Beast Boy call her name.
Raven looked over to him.
"Raven I have to tell you something!" Yelled Beast Boy. "I wanted to tell you before but I couldn't."
Raven looked at Beast Boy then to her father who was getting closer to them as Beast Boy spoke.
"I LOVE YOU!" Yelled Beast Boy quickly.
Raven suddenly felt lightheaded. 'What did he just say?' she wondered to herself. 'Was I hearing him right?'
"I LOVE YOU!" He yelled again.
"Beast Boy I-." Suddenly a blast of fire hit her sending her to the ground.
When Raven opened her eyes she was staring at her father. She gasped and struggled once again.
"You won't get out this time." Said Trigon.
Raven closed her eyes. Her father was wrong someone did love her someone truly cared for her. Raven breathed in deep and opened her eyes. "You wanna bet." She said smirking.
Suddenly a black bubble surrounded her breaking her father's grasp.
"NO!" Yelled Trigon. He raised his hands and shot a giant blast of fire at Raven.
"AZERATH METRION ZINTHOS!" Yelled Raven at the top of her lungs. She pushed black energy at Trigon smashing the fire he was pushing at her and hitting him full force. Trigon let out a loud wail and flew back down to the depths of hell.
Raven let out a light moan and fell to the ground.
