CHAPTER 2

"Get away from me!" Raven stared at the man who had long black hair, devilish blue eyes, and a bandana around his mouth. He wore a black trenchcoat and black boots. She gave him 'the stare' to make him go away. "What do you want?"

"What every demon hunter wants, Raven. All the demons gone, of course, and a pay raise."

"Someone hired you to kill me?"

"That's how it works. Not like we have demon trackers, wait, we do. It's just more fun if someone pays us. Took me a while to find you, though."

"Ten years," Raven muttered to herself. "Look, just leave me alone and I won't have to hurt you."

The hunter threw his head back letting his laugh shake up Raven's nerves. "You can't hurt me."

"Wanna bet!" she flew up. "Azerath, mentrion, zinthos!" dark energy waves shot towards the hunter. He yelled in pain as he flew back ten feet. "I've gotten much better at fighting than I was when I was six years old, Cain."

"So have I," he got up and took her by her neck and threw her into a tree.

"Raven!" Beastboy ran to her side and helped her up. Her hood had come off. She put a hand to her head. "You okay?"

"Dandy," she replied in her monotone voice.

"Titans, get that dude," Cyborg ordered. "Who is he anyway?"

"A demon hunter," Raven replied.

"A demon with friends?" Cain looked bewildered. "Do they actually care about you, Raven? A demon?"

"Yeah, we do," Beastboy said as he changed into a wolf. He snarled and growled at Cain.

Cain just took out a tazer gun and shot Beastboy. He yelped, shifted back to his human form, and took to the ground unconcious. "Stupid kid."

"Hiya!" Starfire used her starbolts to do an all out barrage. "Don't you hurt friend Raven again, you…you… klorfna!"

Raven knew that Cain knew that he was beat. For now, Raven thought. He ran off towards the city. "Now we have to find Robin," she stated. She sighed. "I had a lock on him."

"No need Titans," Robin came out from behind a tree. "Slade," he remarked when the others looked at him with that where-have-you-been look. "He got away. Again."

"Dude, don't kick yourself," Cyborg said. "Let's have a movie night! I'll bring waffles!"

Everybody rolled their eyes, except Starfire. She looked cheerful that they would have a movie night with waffles. "How delightful!"

"Raven?" Beastboy caught up with Raven after she meditated.

"No, I won't play stank ball with you or Cyborg, Beastboy."

"Wasn't gonna ask that."

"Whatever it is, no." She kept walking on, not even looking at him.

"You don't know what I was gonna ask. Stop for a sec and let me ask it so you can get on with your life."

Raven sighed and stopped to look at him. "What is it?"

"Who was that back at the park?"

"A demon hunter. I'm half demon, remember?"

"Well duh. But, who would wanna kill you?"

"Lot's of people, Beastboy. People are scared of me, of demons."

"But you're a Titan. Everybody likes the Teen Titans, Rae."

"In case you haven't noticed, Beastboy. I'm different from others, especially you guys. Look, I don't really wanna chat about this subject anymore. What's the movie for tonight?"

"The Grudge. Made just for you, Rae," he flashed a smile. "Come on or they'll start without us. Star is already gripping Robin's cape."

Raven sustained a smile. "Fine, let's go get scared." She walked with him to the living room. She sat in the middle of Beastboy and Cyborg.

Raven's fear grew with every minute. Fear asked her to shut it off. "Please, Raven." "No. Now shut up!"

Beastboy needed something to hug for reassurance. He looked around for his pillow that he usually brought when movie night was a scary movie. He forgot it. He looked at Raven who had her hood up but he could see she was scared too. Her mouth was gaped wide open and her eyes were as wide as saucers. He saw that she was gripping the edge of the couch.

When the dead girl snuck up the woman's bed Raven's heart jumped to her throat as she jumped back. Her hand released the cushion and found it's next vicitm. Beastboy's arm. Her nails dug in as she was oblivious that it was Beastboy's arm and not the couch.

Somehting to hug in fear! Beastboy thought as he looked at Raven's arm. With his non-injured arm he grasped her arm and let his hold on the arm tighten. Someone was there with him, being scared with him. Reassurance. Phew!

"Please, let's not do the watching of this hororrific movie again," Starfire peered out of Robin's cape. "I do not feel safe in the bed of mine anymore."

"I don't think any of us do, Star," Robin said.

"Camp out in the living room?" Cyborg asked looking around. He looked at Beastboy and Raven. He grinned wide. He elbowed Robin. "Don't they look cute?"

Beastboy and Raven were in a death grip hug watching the credits, to afraid to move. Maybe they were too afraid to turn around and see the little dead boy screech like a cat, or make that funky sound that usually erupted from his throat. Or maybe they would see long black hair spilling out from the ceiling. All in all, they were just too afraid to move.

Cyborg cleared his throat. Beastboy and Raven snapped back into the frightning reality. They looked at eachother and seperated. Raven looked angry while Beastboy blushed. Thank the Gods that my hood was up! Raven thanked in her mind. Her blush that had snuck up on her surprised her. She covered it with a dirty look.

"We're all gonna camp out here for tonight," Cyborg said. He got close to Robin, "I got a picture."

Robin smiled as he watched the two argue. "Post it on Ebay?"

"I just might."

"You hugged me first," Raven accused Beastboy.

"But you hugged too, little miss 'I don't do fear'," he mocked using air quotes.

Raven shot him a death glare. "I'm gonna get my stuff." She walked off. She got her PJ's on. Silk black bottoms, and a silk black tank top. She grabbed a pillow and her blanket. When she walked back to the living room she made a little bed beside Cyborg. All the others had gotten their things. She noticed that Starfire and Robin were extremely closer than usual. They looked like they were sharing a blanket and a pillow together. Jealous suddenly grew. She told her to calm down which she automatically did. She wished she had someone to be close to. But she couldn't afford to have her emotions running haywire. She laid down, her back to Cyborg and the lovebirds.

"Rae, everything okay?" Cyborg said silently and sympathectically as he laid a metal hand on her shoulder.

Raven knew Cyborg would do that but she was praying he wouldn't notice. He was like a big brother to her. Can I tell him that I wanna be closer to someone? No, I could never do that. I might treat him like an older brother, which to me is, but he doesn't need to know every single problem. She shook her head as she buried her face in her pillow. She told Sad to calm down. Nothing would ever change. Nothing.

Beastboy came in with his pillow and blanket and not surprisingly, his monkey stuffed animal. "Mr. Monkey likes to be hugged, Rae," he said giving the old monkey a hug. "Unlike you."

"Dude, lay off," Cyborg said. "There was no reason to do that, BB."

"What girl does not like to be touched?"

"Obviously Raven. You know that."

"I hug her out of fear, which I remind you, that she hugged back and blames me for it!"

"Stop teasing her," Cyborg defended. "Some girls don't like to be touched. One of them is Rae. Leave it alone, Beastboy."

"Whatever," he covered himself up with his green blanket and rolled over so his back would face the glare of Raven. I mean, come on, he thought, what girl doesn't like to be touched. Especially by me! She's just weird, forget her.

Raven stared at Beastboy's back, sadly. (A/N: okay, if ur wonderin, she did NOT read BB's thoughts. I think that destroys the whole story if she can read minds and yada yada yada.) It wasn't fair! She didn't choose to be like this. She wanted to be Starfire, just not as naïve. She wanted her emotions to escape her and run free, but they couldn't. She didn't mind being touched, she just couldn't be touched. Curse bottled up emotions! She fell into a sad, uneasy sleep.

"Azerath, mentrion, zinthos. Azerath, mentrion, zinthos," Raven chanted as she levitated. The wind blew through her hair as she meditated on the rooftop. She wanted to be alone today, no conversing with Cyborg who would certainly question her about last night, or Beastboy who just plain hurt her feelings, or Robin and Starfire, she didn't want to disturb them in case something was going on and she didn't want to be jealous.

You shouldn't be jealous," Intelligence stated. "You perfectly know you can't love, so why are you even jealous?"

"I can get lonely can't I?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, but even if someone did like you, one, you couldn't love him. Two, you're half demon. Third, your destiny is to end the world. Who would wanna be with a half demon who is supposed to, eventually, kill them and let all hell break loose."

"Why do you have to put it like that?"

"Because it's true. My advice is: stop being jealous. I'm sorry Raven, you never got what you wanted so what makes you think you could have what you wanted now. Nothing has changed."

Raven landed to the ground and started to walk to her room. Intelligence was right, about all of it. She was a fool to even think that somebody could even turn his head to look at her. I'm so stupid. She was so caught up in punishing herself that she didn't notice where she was walking and walked right into Beastboy. "Sorry," she muttered softly yet monotone. She started to walk away as if nothing had happened.

"Rae?"

"What?" she snapped. Just act normal.

"I wanted to say: sorry about what I said last night. I shouldn't have said it."

"It's okay."

"No, it isn't," he grabbed her hand when she tried to walk away again. "I should've understood that you have feelings that aren't exactly normal. I know now that you can't be touched without your emotions going off the walls. So, I'm sorry."

"You shouldn't be. Okay maybe you should be sorry but it's okay. I can get over anything. I'm pratically emotionless on the outside."

"But not on the inside. You can be the most emotional person I know. I know you're gonna get mad at me for doing this but try not to blow off my head." He leaned closer to her and softly kissed her lips, then stood up and waited for her to blow him up. Nothing happened. He opened both his eyes and looked down at her. He suddenly noticed her in a different way. She seemed… prettier. He stared at her flawless face and stared into the violet pools of her eyes. Her eyes were wide and questionable. He resisted the urge to kiss her again. Once was probably his way to the hospital, he didn't need to die.

"Why the hell did you do that?" he just made another problem from the old problem. She hung her head and tried to restrain tears. She was hurt beyond hurt, she could barely see as she ran to her room. She flew herself on her bed and let her emotions break free and destroy everything in her room while she cried. How could he do that? After what he just said. How could he!

"Raven!" Beastboy knocked on her door. "Look, you deserve to blow off my head right now. Can I come in so you can?" all he heard was sobs. He never seen or heard Raven cry before. With each sob it tore at his heart. He slammed his head against her door. "Please, Rae?"

"Go… away," she cried in between sobs. She made an attempt to try and control her emotions but they were beyond controllable until she calmed down, which was pretty hard to do right now. "Leave me alone!"

He couldn't take it. His heart was about to burst (plus, he saw Cyborg and the others walk down the hall). He opened Raven's door and shut it. He sighed as he dodged one of her demonic statues. This will be hard, he thought. He sat down next to Raven who had her pretty, flawless face buried deep in her pillow. He placed a gentle green hand on her shoulder.

"I told you to go away."

"I won't leave until I know you're okay. I'm sorry if I made you sad. I shouldn't have done that-"

"Shut up!" she screamed as she raised her head out of her pillow. "I already have enough problems and you have to add to them you little weed!"

"I guess I deserve that. I'm trying to make things better. You should let me."

"Why? Nobody wants to try and help me. I can make things better on my own."

He wanted to show her what was going on in her room. Black energy destroying all her precious dark things, pages were being blown all over and how her room looked like a tornado was destroying it. Instead, he laid down and looked at her black ceiling.

"You need someone to talk to?"

"Yeah, but I can't."

"Why?"

"You wouldn't be interested in my problems," her eyes were red and her bottom lip trembled. She stared at him with sad, wide eyes.

"Yes I would. If you calm down and stop crying so I can understand you. Please Rae?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because you're my friend and I care about you," he stared at her. He needed to make things better, Raven wasn't made to cry, she didn't look good doing it. Okay, maybe she looked cute as usual, but it didn't fit her. He needed the emotionless, sarcastic Raven ready to make fun of him and his corny jokes. "Calm down, Rae. You can talk to me."

She stared at him blankly. She noticed his green standing up hair, his green eyes that always held laughter and and all other emotions that she couldn't show, he had his right arm under his head, his long body was stretched out with his right knee bent. He looked casual and hopeful. He wore a big white plain t-shirt and baggy jeans.

"You really wanna hear about my problems?"

"Yeah."

"Boy problems and all?"

He suddenly blushed. "B-boy problems. Uh, yeah. Come here," he outstretched his left hand to coax her into his arms. Once her head was resting on his chest he ran his right hand through her hair once while his left hand rubbed her back. "Don't forget all the problems. Including the…boy problems."

She took a deep breath and then started. "I'll start with the usual problems." She told him all her worries and problems, including the boy problems.

After a half an hour of sharing Beastboy was left dumbstruck. He stared at her almost quizical. How can a teenager have that many problems stored up inside her without blowing up. He counted at least 100 problems. He continued to rub her back.

"So…that's it?" he asked.

She nodded. She told him everything. She hadn't done this before and it felt a load off her shoulders. But now she burdened Beastboy with all her problems. She felt guilty and shy. "I'm sorry for burdening all these things on you. I don't think sharing was a good idea."

"I think it was. It gave us personal time together. I know more about you now. I understand you better."

"Why did you kiss me?" she blurted out. She clapped a hand over her mouth and sat up. "I didn't mean to say that. Don't answer."

He chuckled. "It's okay, I'll answer. Because I wanted to."

"Oh." She didn't want to ask him why he wanted to, she asked enough. A blush lingered on her cheeks. She put her hood up. "Thanks for everything."

"No prob Rae. You needed it," he smiled. "Wanna lay down for a bit?"

Her blush intensified. "Allright, I guess," she laid back down on his chest. "Are you afraid of me?"

"No. I like you," he suddenly gasped. "I didn't mean it like that."

She laughed. "It's all right. I know what you mean."

Beastboy enjoyed her company. He liked her in his arms, her confiding in him, her trusting him. He just liked her. He stared at her ceiling and smiled. Minutes passed before he wanted to ask her something. "Rae?" no answer. "Raven?" he looked down at her. She was asleep. He gently took his arm out from beneath her and left.

When he reached the living room Cyborg was playing a video game. "Yo, Cy, let me play!"

"Okay, but you have to answer one question."

"What is it?" he rolled his eyes as he sat down.

"Do you like Rae?"

Beastboy's blush clashed with his green skin and he looked like a Christmas elf. "What-what would make you think that?"

"Security cameras."

Beastboy ran out of the room and made it into his bedroom before his whole face was red. I don't think I'll leave my room in a long time. He sat down on his top bunk and grabbed the gamestation controller.

When Raven finally awoke it was nine at night. She stretched and went down into the living room. She got a sandwich and started to walk back to her room. She was almost happy at what Beastboy did. And, her powers didn't break anything. She shut her door and removed her normal clothes and put her PJ's on. When she started to walk to her bed she saw a movement in the shadows.

"Who's there!"

"Raven," the shadow said. He came out. "Time to die."

Raven's high pitched scream rang out through the tower waking everybody up. At first everyone thought Starfire screamed, but when she met the other Titans out of her room they finally realized that something bad had happened to Raven.

"Raven!" Robin crashed Raven's door open. "Raven?"

Beastboy felt his heart sink. "Her window," he ran to it and peered down. Someone had crashed through her window.

"There's blood on the sharp pieces," Cyborg said. "She's gone and she's hurt real bad."

I think that's the best chapter so far! Wahoo! I told you it would be long and better. Whoever took Raven it's quite obvious. I know I only got 1 review so far but thanks. I hope I get more. And if you know a story with a dude named Kyzein in it please send it in a review or e-mail. Thanks, and ta for now!
