Thanks for the review SpazztheSlob, updating as fast as I can! (And I'm putting pairings in later on, but they'll either start in the next chapter or the one after that). No, it isn't Rae/BB, that would be way too obvious for the story line. I don't like obviousness.

Raven looked outside her door, and listened for anyone coming. "Good, nobody's here", Beast Boy was confused, not because of what Raven said, but because the tone in her voice and the look on her face. Wouldn't she have that I'm gonna kill you look on her face if she was gonna kill me? He thought to himself reassuringly.

"Wait here". Raven turned around to get the mirror that led to Nevermore, when she saw the Ferent. It no longer looked like a newborn kitten, but a solid purple housecat with purple wings that darkened towards the tip. It was lying on the floor, its scaly tail swishing. Both Raven and Beast Boy were dumbstruck. BB, because he thought he was the only one who kept secret pets, and Raven because the Ferent had grown so much in less than a day.

The graceful looking animal turned its head towards them revealing shimmering, deep blue eyes. It was a strange sight, but the weirdest part was that it appeared to be looking at two books. Raven recognized one as the Ferent book, because of the picture. The other—was that the dictionary? She walked over to it and found that the one-day-old cat-like animal WAS in fact reading the book of words itself.

"Dude, YOU have a cat, and you didn't tell anyone! Is this why you brought me here?" Beast Boy was really confused, and not quite sure why.

Raven sighed and began telling BB about what happened, "I found this rock when I was really little, or somehow it got into my possession. Anyways, the point is that the rock wasn't really a rock. It was an egg that contained this Azurathian mythical beast, the Ferent. I need you to take care of it". "I'm flattered, but-" Rae interrupted, telling him the mental notes she took one by one.

"You know who this 'mythical creature' sounds really similar to, a few exceptions like the size and the diet?"

"No, who?" her voice urged. She had originally thought it sounded similar to someone she knew, but she couldn't place who it was.

"Don't be mad at me for saying this but, well, you're really similar to this Ferent thing". He flinched, ready for Raven to yell, but it never came. There was just a kind of thoughtful look on her face.

"Raven, would you just get to the point already!" Both Raven and BB jumped at the voice, which neither of them had heard before. "Down here". They looked at where the voice was coming from. It was the Ferent.

While Beast Boy started a conversation, Raven quickly went through her mental notes again. He was right, she was really similar to the description the book gave. In fact, if not for some of the physical details, you might not be able to tell the difference.

"Dude, you can talk." Beast Boy stared at it with disbelief. "Please, tell me something else I don't know." It looked bored. "Raven, it talks! Why didn't you mention this before? Is there something you're trying to hide?" He tried to give her the death stare, but it came out as a look of serious constipation.

"Would it be possible for you to call me he instead of it? I DO have a gender you know. And anyways Raven, you still haven't gotten to your point yet. I'm waiting." The Ferent corrected her sharply.

"You know you're really starting to get on my nerves." She was about to blast him with her aura, but decided it was better not to. She turned to Beast Boy with a VERY serious look on her face and whispered; making sure the Ferent wasn't listening, "I need your help to keep him in Nevermore. You know how it says in the book that they can possibly cause the end of the world?" he nodded, not fully understanding, "Well, maybe if he's in Nevermore he'll only kill me, not everyone else on this planet… and maybe even stop my destiny from happening." She turned again to grab the mirror, but hesitated and turned towards BB. "If you tell anyone about this, you're dead. Nobody can know, because if word gets out, the city- the world will panic and— you get what I'm saying right now?"

"So, basically you're committing suicide to save everyone else?" Raven had only just then realized in full what she was getting herself into, "Possibly", her monotone was back, but inside she felt sick to her stomach. Beast Boy had a look of adoration on his face. He could never have imagined someone as brave as Raven. "Are you ready to go back to Nevermore, Beast Boy?" "Wait a sec, I have to go now? I wanted a nap," he wined. Raven didn't really care whether he wanted a nap or not, so she abruptly put an aura around both BB and the Ferent, who were both caught off guard and sent them into Nevermore, followed by herself.

I know that was a really short chapter but I wanted to add a bit of a cliffhanger.

In the next one Raven shows Beast Boy around Nevermore. To Raven's annoyance, he finds out more about her than she wants anyone to, and gets to spend some quality time with the Ferent (I think it's about time 'the Ferent' got a name, don't you? I'm getting really tired of writing 'the Ferent' whenever I'm referring to him).

What are you waiting for? REVIEW!
