All too soon, Raven realized that she should be doing other things. Slowly, she backed out Beast boy's embrace and away from his comfort. Keeping her eyes lowered, she sat again to read the letters. She hated reading them. They were all pretty mundane, but, her mother's will should be in here. She discarded another letter that was useless, and moved onto the next.

Beast Boy watched as she avoided looking at him, and read. He across from her.

"So, you gonna tell me what those are about now?" She didn't look up, but replied.

"Information on daily affairs. They gave me the stack which the information I need is in. It's up to me to find it." She picked up the next one. This was it! Scanning quickly, she grabbed an empty piece of parchment and started copying it. She needed to have a copy, so that she could carry out the instructions perfectly.

Beast Boy looked over her shoulder. She was writing in what he assumed was the language of Azarath. He couldn't understand a bit of it.

"Um…that looks very pretty…what is it?" She looked up at him, surprised that he had moved without her noticing.

"It's…my mother's will" She hated the fact that, at times, he could make her give up the answer so easily.

"Oh…" he didn't want to bring up any emotional topics, but curiosity got the better of him. "So, what's it say?"

"That's not really any of your business now is it?" Why did he insist on prying? It was difficult enoughto deal with his curiosity in the best of moods. But now, he was getting extremely aggravating.

"I'm your friend. I'm making it my business." he said, with his arms crossed stubbornly. She snapped.

"Would you just leave me the hell alone? Is that so hard for you to do?" He growled softly, and stepped back a few paces. She was so frustrating! Just minutes ago, she had been willing to share with him, now she was back to being her normal self. What did it take to her to open up, and stay that way for more then a minute? He wanted her to trust him enough that she shared her pain.

Raven put the letter back into the envelope. But, in the process, found it contained another piece of parchment. This one was tattered, seemingly ripped off something else. And, it was written in English, by an unsteady hand. Reading it over carefully, she placed it a pocket that was hidden in her cloak. Luckily for her, Beast Boy was to deep in thought to realize the sudden tear that fell from her eyes. Quickly, she swiped it away. She was lucky that Beast Boy was engaging in thinking, which he rarely did. She had to calm down before she blew up something else. Too many emotions were getting way too out of hand. It was going to be hard to bring them back into order.

Beast Boy came out of his thinking state, to find Raven meditating. And he sighed. He knew very well why she couldn't open up to him, at least, not without fear of destruction. But, he didn't care at this point. He cared about Raven, and her well-being. And she hadn't been acting normal since they had arrived. Slowly, he walked up to her, careful to not interrupt her. When he was right in front of her, he poked her shoulder.

Raven was jolted out of meditation to find Beast Boy standing in front of her, glaring.

"OK, I've been nice, considering, but, I wanna know exactly what's going on!" She glared back as best she could.

"It is none of your business. You're not even supposed to be here, so don't try and pry into my life! If you'd stop trying to do so, we wouldn't be having this fight every five minutes!" Her emotions were not in order yet. Many were still wayward, and out of her control.

Beast Boy continued glaring as she put her feet on the ground, and tried to walk away. As he wasn't about to let her do that this time, he forcefully grabbed her shoulder.

"Oh not this time you don't!" She winced as objects in the room that had been previously surrounded inblack exploded.. "Rae, this almost exact scene happened, like, five minutes ago. I want to stop this from happening again." He whirled he around, so her back was to the wall and she was facing him. "What's going on? Something's bugging you, and it's not just your mother's death. That doesn't even explain half of what's been happening" She turned her head away, concentrating on something else, ignoring him. He suppressed the urge to simply slap her. Not only was that nothing like him, but it wouldn't solve anything. Instead, he roughly took her chin and made her face him. "Raven tell me. Now. I care about you. I wanna help. I already told you that. Why do keep running?" Raven knew she didn't have an answer for him. Not one that would make sense or that she really wanted to divulge to him. Instead, her reliable sarcasm bubbled up to save her.

"What if I don't tell you? Wait, I saw this in a movie once. You'll do something terrible or horrible beyond imagination?" He growled again, more audibly as she angrily continued her tirade. "Forget it Beast Boy. I'm not someone who's easily understood. People don't understand me. You don't understand me. I don't understand me. What's going on here has absolutely nothing to do with you, so give it a rest! Stop questioning…" He interrupted her softly.

"You know what Raven, you're right."

"I am?" She looked at him for the first time.

"I am going to do something terrible and horrible beyond imagination, if you don't tell me." She shrank back, at least, as far as the wall would let her. Her emotions were running more rampant then ever. Her powers, for now, were too busy wrecking havoc on the room to be of any use to her.

"Oh yeah, like what?" She was trying to sound confident.

Suddenly, another tear fell. Her emotions were breaking her barriers so fast, that there was nothing left of them but rubble. Suddenly gentle, Beast Boy removed a hand from her shoulder to brush the tear away.

"I'll kiss you."

Ok, ok, I know, it's an awful cliff hanger. I'm sorry about the wait, but there's this thing called 'school' and I'm still trying to work around it. So far, it's not working as well as I'd hoped. Oh well. until next time. Which will hopefully be sooner rather then later. Please tell me if I'm not making sense with the story. Thanks for reading
