Chapter Four: Learning Magic

"Wake up, Blyrric," said Patcheye. He shoved Blyrric around til he awoke.

"What time is it?" asked a very sleepy Blyrric.

"It's time to begin your training. Follow me." Blyrric did as the old wolf asked. They walked until they reached a rock that looks just like a wolf's head.

"This is Wolf's Peak," said Patcheye, "and it is an ideal place for training." He turned to Blyrric. "Go on, climb to the top." Blyrric placed his paws in the handholes as he climbed. After what seemed like an eternity, he made it.

"Whew," said Blyrric, "glad that's over. What's next?"

"You must bring that pebble to you with your mind." He nodded to a small blue rock beside him. "Just think of it sliding over to you. Trust me, it's easier than it sounds." Blyrric tried, he really did, but he couldn't get the pebble. By nightfall, Patcheye said, "You've had enough. We'll try again tomorrow." Then, the two winged wolves rose into to black of the night sky.

Back at the Tower, the Titans were also enjoying the night sky. You see, the beat the crud out of Overload, but the city went on a full-scale blackout. You could finally see the stars. Beast Boy sat next to Raven. They hadn't noticed the others leave. They continued to stare at the stars in an uncomfortable silence.

"They are pretty, right?" said Raven, in a desprate attempt to break the silence.

"Yeah," said Beast Boy. Like you, he thought. Raven blushed under her hood. Once again, Beast Boy noticed, and asked, "What? Was it something I said?"

She laughed a little. "No," she said, "but I think you forgot that I can read minds."

What- oh, crud! he thought. He changed the subject. The changeling looked at her. "You should try laughing more often," he said.

"Why?"

He smiled. "It sounds nice."

"Really?"

"Yeah." The two finally noticed it was late. "I'm gonna hit the sack. You coming?"

"No, thanks," said Raven. "I-I'll stay here for a little bit."

Beast Boy shrugged. "Okay, whatever you say, Rae." He turned and left.

Beast Boy's POV…

What is the matter with me? I just talked to her like an idiot, and she read my mind! But, for some reason, I can't stop thinking about her.

Raven's POV…

Did he just call me pretty? And say that it sounds nice when I laugh? Grrr, get a grip on yourself, Raven; you're not supposed to show emotion! I think I need a trip to, dare I say it, Nevermore.

That's all for now, see ya!
