Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans.
Beast Boy saw her. She had four fire red eyes full of sadness and hatred and pearl white fangs that were angrily grinding together.
"I gave up on love a long time ago…" Raven said, angrily and distantly at the same time. Beast Boy was once again quickly losing oxygen again.
"Raven…" Beast Boy struggled to say. He sounded so sad. Raven's expression turned even angrier.
"Don't give me that! You're trying to play with my emotions! It won't work." Beast Boy's heart was broken and he eagerly accepted the oblivion that awaited him as opposed to this painful existence. He slid into unconsciousness just as Starfire came to the rescue. Raven, not wanting to hurt her friend, vanished into the dark. It was as though she never existed. Starfire had not seen who it was. She glanced at the place where Raven had been standing. She stood there trying to puzzle out why the dark figure had seemed so familiar. She picked up the limp form of her friend and flew off to Titans Tower.
"Starfire, what happened?" Robin said as she brought Beast Boy into the medical wing.
"I do not know. His attacker fled as soon as she saw me." Starfire said, laying Beast Boy on one of the beds.
"She? Did you see who it was?" Robin asked.
"No, I'm afraid I did not." She said sadly. Beast Boy's breathing sounded raspy as it traveled through his crushed windpipe.
"Man, we've got to find Raven. I dunno how to fix a crushed windpipe!" Cyborg said, panicking.
"We can't find her if she doesn't want to be found." Robin said hopelessly. Then there was the coldest silence any of them had ever experienced.
"Our friend… She is… Truly gone?" Starfire asked slowly, as though her English were slipping away. Robin and Cyborg couldn't answer. So they stood there in silence. The last 3 Titans standing. Suddenly Beast Boy woke up coughing. Cyborg went over to him.
"Man, you've got to chill out! If you don't chill out you'll pass out again!" Cyborg said desparately. Beast Boy slowly managed to stop coughing.
"I… Saw… Her…" Beast Boy managed to wheeze.
"Friend Beast Boy you are in much need of the rest." Starfire said worridly.
"Raven…" He managed to say before falling back into a nightmarish sleep. They stood and pondered over their heartbroken green friend.
