And thank you so much for all the reviews, you guys are all great and it is really appreciated. And now on with Chapter Eight: A New Emotion?
That rose, was the source of happiness for Raven. As soon as she looked at it, so many emotions swam over her. It was like a tidal wave of emotions crashing into her. Everything that she felt before, anything at all, be it hatred or otherwise, would disappear as soon as she laid eyes on that flower. The funny thing is that the rose had not being to wilt at all. It was still in perfect condition and still sitting on Raven's desk.
"So it look's like the other's know." Raven said aloud to herself. "They know the thing that no one should ever know. However, I don't think that Beast Boy knows just yet, what the lightening of my cloak means, however, he will in due time." Raven said drifting into the unconsciousness of sleep.

Back in Beast Boy's room, he was sitting on his bed, happy that he was able to protect Raven from the somewhat odd attack of his friends.
"Maybe now that I protected her, she will accept me and maybe allow my love." He said to himself hopefully. He was lying on his bed when something spoke to him inside his head.
'Go to her.' It was saying.
"You want me to go see Raven?" Beast Boy asked out loud, as if there were someone standing right in front of him.
'Go to her.' It repeated.
"Okay." Beast Boy said finally got up and approached his door, he was going to see the one that he loved so much and maybe confess his love for her.

He was at her door, the large steel door that was the sole protector against entering the lair of the Raven.
He knocked, however there was no answer.
'She mustn't be there.' He thought to himself, as he started to walk away. But something was keeping him from walking, there was something that made him stay, as if there was someone else there telling him to go in anyway.
So, Beast Boy did so. He opened the door and went in.
It was very dark in there, pitch black. Yet, Beast Boy knew exactly where he was and exactly where he was going. He just needed to see Raven, see her just once.
In the distance, among the darkness of the room, there was one source of light, and it was coming from the window and rested on top of the bed, and there she was, fast asleep.
Beast Boy approached her bed just to see the beautiful girl that was just an arms length away.
He yearned to just reach out and touch her, take her in his arms and kiss her, but he was too afraid of what may happen, he was afraid that she might get too much emotion and hurt him, or others.
He was looking at her, still sleeping, when he saw glowing out of the corner of his eye. He approached the source to find out what it was. It was Raven's mirror, the one that led straight into her mind.
Something was beckoning Beast Boy to enter, to go in there and have a look.
Beast Boy approached the mirror and looked at it from a safe distance, his mind said 'No', but his heart said 'Yes'. As always, Beast Boy's heart was much bigger than his brain and he proceeded to look into the mirror, once again, getting sucked into the mind of Raven.
Beast Boy landed on the ground in her mind with a hard thud. He got up and had a look around. There was not much to see as usual, but he wasn't looking at the scenery, he was looking for any of the other Raven's.
He got up and started to walk. As he was doing so something flew behind him. Beast Boy turned fast to see if he could catch whom it was. However, there was no one there.
"Stupid imagination." Beast Boy said to himself as he turned back fast and met face to face with Happy Raven.
She looked at him for a second, and then gave him a very large and hard hug. "BB! You're here, I'm so glad to see you. I haven't seen you in like forever." She was yelling with glee.
"Nice to see you too Happy, but aren't you afraid that Raven may be a little angry that you're hugging me, and are you actually happy to see me?" Beast Boy asked quizzically.
"Why should she and why shouldn't I be?" Happy responded with her own question.
"Uhh." Beast Boy began to say, he wanted to answer, but he just didn't know how to.
"So, what brings you back here?" Happy said as they were walking.
"Nothing really, just there was something calling me to come back here. A voice." Beast Boy responded.
"I see. Well don't stay here too long." Happy said as she began to leave. "You know how Raven gets when someone is in her head." She turned to leave, but then turned back and ran towards Beast Boy. She got to him and embraced him again, this time giving him a small peck on the cheek as well. She then turned and flew away, leaving a puzzled Beast Boy behind.
"Umm…" He said, rubbing the spot where the kiss that Happy had given him still lingered.
He continued to walk, trying to make his way back to the door. 'That was a little odd. If Raven ever found out, I'm pretty sure she would kill me and put my head on her wall.' Beast Boy said to himself, as he saw another figure in the distance.
He approached the figure, and saw a gray cloak, it was Timid.
"Hey there Timid." Beast Boy said, placing a hand on her shoulder, but there was something different about her this time. She did not back away as if she were scared, she just stood there and allowed Beast Boy to touch her.
"Hey." Timid said, very low. She turned towards Beast Boy and was blushing when she turned to look at him.
"How are you?" He asked very lightly.
"I'm good." She said, still blushing. "But I have to get going, there are some things have to do."
"Umm, ok." Beast Boy said, very confused. 'I just got to her, and she has stuff to do?' He thought to himself, as he watched Timid; still blushing uncontrollably, leave his sights.
Beast Boy continued to walk and saw yet another figure in the distance, however this one gave off a bad aura, Beast Boy could tell.
Of course he was right, this next emotion was anger, it was walking back and forth grumbling to herself under breath.
Beast Boy tried to ignore this one as he attempted to walk by, but it saw him.
"What are you doing here?" Anger demanded, but something in her voice seemed less intense with the demand. "You know Raven will kill you if she ever finds out that you're in here right?' Anger concluded.
"Yes, I do." Beast Boy said simply, wanting to leave.
Anger went back to her grumbling under her breath and allowed Beast Boy to leave without any further hassle.
He was nearing the door, when yet another emotion was in his way.
'Oh man, how many am I going to meet today? I'm pretty sure I went through the entire bag, and met them all."
But this one was different, this one he didn't see much, in fact he was sure he had never seen this one.
He approached the figure and saw it was wearing a white cloak, one that he definitely had never seen before,.
"Hey, never seen you around here before. What emotion are you?" Beast Boy asked the figure when he got close enough.
The new emotion turned around and had a smile on her face, as if she were incredibly happy to see Beast Boy. "My name is not important. There is something, however, that you need to know before you leave. Raven is a very complicated person, and sometimes does not publicly announce things. Even so, this does not mean that she does not feel. She has feelings and will be revealed at the correct time."
Beast Boy nodded even though he really did not understand what exactly was being said to him.
She was now walking towards Beast Boy. When she got to him, she hugged him, even harder than what Happy had given him and kissed him again on the other cheek.
'Heh, must be my lucky day.' He said to himself, as this new Raven had let her embrace go.
"Remember what I said." She said to Beat Boy one last time, as she turned and left.
A bewildered Beast Boy was left alone yet again. He approached the door and left Raven's mind.
When he got out, he was happy to see that she was still sleeping and had not awoken from his little trek in her mind.
He was exiting when he turned for one last look at the sleeping beauty. "Good night Raven. I love you." He said, as he opened the door quietly and slipped out.
Raven opened one eye and just looked where Beast Boy was just a second ago.
"I love you too…"
