I surely would have updated days ago if it weren't for one itty bitty problem... I HAVE CHICKEN POX!... and if that's not annoying enough, I have exams this week... Oh joy... I wouldn't have updated so early if not for Falling's Birthday so yeah, here's chapter 15...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'd think that something loaded with secrets wouldn't just be laying around in the open but no, there it was. Beast Boy assumed Raven wasn't expecting someone to just stroll into her room and read her diary. Too bad for her a curious changeling had access to it while she was away... Wherever she had gone.

Beast Boy sat on Raven's bed and lifted the book into his hands. Should he read it? After all, he might find some unpleasant insults directed toward him. But then again, he had to get some clue of where she had gone, and who had taken her there. Even if Raven found out and killed him, at least she would have mercy. Reading her diary could quite possibly lead him to where she was.

" God, just give me a sign." Beast Boy said as he slowly opened the book

Beast Boy yelped as something stung his finger. At first, he thought it was a spell Raven had cast over it but upon inspection of his finger, it was just a paper cut. That would be the second injury his finger suffered today.

" Dude... It's gonna take more than that to keep me from reading it."

Beast Boy flipped through the first few pages until the first entry was displayed. Judging by the date, she had first started writing in it when she moved in with him and his grandfather. And the number two on the back of the front cover indicated she had an old diary out there somewhere.

Beast Boy began to read the first page without much thought.

Dear Diary,

Finally, I've escaped from father. I hope he dies and goes to heaven... Hell would be a blessing to him.

" Hmm... Her dad must be really bad... She thinks he's the devil." Beast Boy muttered to no one, being too naive to figure anything out

After nearly being killed by him, some green boy offered to let me stay at his place. No one is that nice without reason to be, he's definitely up to something. I'll just play along for now, one false move and he'll be dog food.

" I don't think I'll find anything on this page..." He flipped ahead " I think I'll skip ahead a few days..."

Dear Diary

Life here is actually pretty good. There's a library, lots of places to be in solitude, and even a training room to help stabilize my powers. Father will never find me here, I guess I can consider myself lucky.

" No, nothing here either... Wait..."

I still can't figure out what that dream means. It's still appearing in my head every night. Every night since I got here. Does it mean anything, or is it just my mind at work...

" Dream? Reoccurring dream? Dude... Could she be having the same dream as me?"

Every time I have it, it goes a little further. Last night, I started to see the cold eyes of my father through the darkness. I guess the dream will have to live on until I see it all...

" That's not enough to help me find her! I gotta go to the day grandpa got back..."

Dear Diary

I had no clue the pope lived here... Beast Boy's grandfather returned from a business trip today, I don't think he wants me here. Actually he doesn't. So far he wants to throw holy water at me and watch me burn while he eats popcorn...

" I guess all hope of that grudge going away died long ago..."

..... I had the dream again, but I haven't seen anything new yet. I looked out my window and the building across the street was on fire. I fetched Beast Boy and we checked it out. Some kid actually was trapped in there, but Beast Boy handled that. What really bothered me was that shadow I saw...

" Aha! Jackpot!"

...Before I could run after them, Beast Boy came back and we had to go before the building burned down. The people from the building only suffered mild injuries. Maybe that person was a survivor and got scared when they saw me. Wouldn't blame them for running...

" Huh..? Why would they get scared? She's not that creepy... That person must have been stalking her all this time... And I bet it was the same dude on her balcony and was the same guy talking to her in her room... I mean... In here. I still need to know where she is..."

Dear Diary,

How nice it was of Mr. Logan to provide us with anpsychotic babysitter...

" This must be the night that Lori was babysitting us."

Everything was all fine and dandy until she went insane, and that's not a joke. She actually began acting and talking crazy after she found out there was no money in Mr. Logan's safe room. Before she almost got away, she managed to shoot me in her deranged state. Her aim was bad so I'm still alive. Long after she was taken to the psychiatric ward, I went up to the roof to relax, only to find Beast Boy was there as well. And I finally found out why he was being so nice. Turns out his parents died before his eyes... And he got involved with the wrong crowd and accidentally killed a child when he tried to save her. I never thought the little guy suffered so much. Even if he annoys me sometimes, he's actually a nice guy.

" Huh... Didn't see that coming. I wonder what else she said about moi?" Beast Boy scanned for his name among the pages

Why does he care if I'm hurt? No one cares what happens to me. No one ever has. I didn't think people like him existed...

I'll never tell him that it makes me feel better when he tries to help me with my problems...

I guess he's the only one that doesn't hate me...

I don't know why, but I actually like being around him. He makes me forget my problems...

I can say I consider him a friend...

Beast Boy is the only person I can trust...

I can imagine how bad it is for him to carry that burden everyday...

I'd thank him for helping me out so many times but he'd probably get creeped out...

Beast Boy is indeed the nicest person I've met. He did help me of all people...

My suspicions were wrong... If he were any more generous, he'd be mother Teresa...

At this point, the green teen was blushing beyond control. He tried to straighten his face but he failed miserably. Closing the book, he put it back exactly in the same place he got it and just stared off into space. It was hard to believe Raven said that about him. It was hard to imagine her saying that at all. In fact, her saying that about him seemed to bend the laws of physics.

" Dude!" he slapped himself " Concentrate, you gotta find Raven!"

Still with a goofy expression, he tried to come up with a plan. It seemed there was no way to find her. As he walked around in circles trying to think, it hit him like a brick. He was Beast Boy, the guy who could change into any animal. All he had to do was change into a bloodhound and pretty much smell her out.

" Sorry gramps, but I'm gonna have to go against you to help Raven!" he spoke

Without hesitation, he changed into a bloodhound and put his nose to the floor. Instantly he could smell her sweet yet dark scent amongst the room. His keen sense of smell picked up another scent, one that was aligned with corruption. Although he was another species, he still looked worried. He began to follow the trail, nose gliding across the room, and soon out through the open window. There, the scent went down to the ground. He quickly glided to the ground in the form of a flying squirrel and morphed back when he got on the ground. From there, he kept following the trail, with hopes Raven was okay.

" Here we are." Malchior announced

It was too dark to see where they were. All she saw was many iron beams, hanging chains, and run down machinery. No light from windows or doors were visible in the dismal area. There was barely any light at all, only the radiance from a orange lantern could illuminated the objects nearby. Raven recognised the type of place. It looked akin to a run down factory.

" And 'here' is where, exactly?" Raven growled, still being gripped by the fiend

" Somewhere where no one will find you. Now, we wait."

" Wait for what?" She was getting tired of his mind games

" Why, for your father to get here."

And may I mention, Trigon is only 6'6" in this instead of...30'... And as soon as this irritating itching goes away, I'll write longer chapters. And I only have this because there are cases... AT SCHOOL! When will people believe me when I say school is evil? WHEN I'M DYING!?
