However, she's ok… I guess… I don't read comic books, but I looked up stuff on it and almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw Star's hair… I mean, DUDE! Here's a good hairdresser (flips comic Star a business card) hehehe… The No, Never was about Terra… It's almost always about Terra…. Here, you can have my rusty harpoon….

AN. I'm sorry if I left anyone out or mispelled your names :)
AN. An hour after Chapter 7. I don't own Teen Titans or The Grudge, but if the owners want to sell either to me I have (wind whistles) a mascara brush, a candy wrapper and a HB pencil. A blunt HB pencil.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but our school was doing a musical (The Wiz, it was awsome) and I was a chorus member so I've been really busy, but it's over now so here it is :)
Dedication: Yes. I have decided to dedicate this chapter to my crush, Roses. That's his nickname, gotten when I gave him a rose on Valentines Day and he just smiled this adorable smile. (sighs) To you, Roses! Even if my friends think I should get over you and my sister wants to stab you repeatedly with a dining fork. Hehehe…
Answer to Poll
I say: I don't think so. He has the potential to be really sweet and caring.
My sister says: (shrugs) Human Translation – I don't care, leave me alone.
Chapter Eight
Beast Boy relaxed back on his bed, a huge smile plastered on his face.
I'm the luckiest guy in the world, he thought happily.
She loooves -, the singing side of his mind started, but his thinking side stopped it instantly.
Beast Boy laughed aloud, then fell silent. He lay there for a few minutes, scratching his chest absently.
I'm thirsty. Time for some soy-milk, he finally decided and stood up.
Half-way across his room he stumbled over a pile of clothes that had formed in the middle of the floor. Cursing silently, he kicked it to the left, then continued to the kitchen. When he got there, he made his way over to the kitchen, banging into one of the counters and finding his way to the kitchen from there. He clattered around the kitchen for a moment, accidentally slamming his finger in a drawer before finding the fridge. He took out a cold glass container, poured it haphazardly into a glass and took a swig. Whole cream milk seemed to burn his throat and he sprayed it across the room.
"Oops," he said, the cool milk dripping down his chin. He wiped it away, and sniffed slightly. His nose picked up the smell of milk from everywhere in the room, the faint smell of foods, the even fainter smell of herbal teas and a mixed trail of lemon and lavender. Intrigued, he decided to leave the milk for Cyborg to clean up and investigate the smell.
He walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. As he walked further, his advanced ears picked up on a low chant. He kept walking until he could hear the individual words.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." As the voice was gravely and unaccompanied by the high voice of Starfire, he assumed it was Raven. He walked forward until her voice was right next to him and squatted down. Waving his hand next to the ground he was completely satisfied that it was, in fact, Raven, and she was levitating.
"Hmm." He rubbed his chin and stood up. "What's so great about meditation? I mean, all you do is sit there and chant."
He stood next to her for a few more minutes, then went back to the kitchen to clean up the mess. Cyborg was going to kill him otherwise, and he was just starting to enjoy being a teenager. He spent ten minutes seeking out the tiny drops of milk and wringing the sopping cloth into the sink. He hung the cloth over the tap and walked back into the living room. Raven was still saying her chant over and over.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
He walked next to her and stood awkwardly for a few minutes. He hesitantly put his hand out in front of him. His middle finger poked her cheek. He moulded his palm around it and rubbed his thumb gently over the ridge of her cheekbone. She smiled slightly in her meditation.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
"Hmm…" he said again. His left hand was still around her cheek. He removed it and collapsed his knees, making him sit cross-legged. His knee hit something that tipped under it, and there was a clattering as whatever-it-was rolled away. "Damn." He stood up again and chased the rolling object, his feet shuffling and his hands out in front of him. The clattering object stopped and he grabbed it. It was a simple mug. Thin, but not as thin as china. He carried it over to the kitchen and set it carefully down on the counter. Then he went back to the living room.
If I could see, he thought, then I could watch Rae. He frowned and collapsed on couch. Damn eyes. He crossed his arms and pouted out his lower lip.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
"I wish she'd stop saying that," he said. "Doesn't she know any other spells?"
Don't be so harsh on her, his mind responded. It's not her fault I'm blind.
"Fair enough," he said aloud. He sighed. "Maybe I could try it. Just for a few minutes." He stood up and stepped closer to her voice.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
"I'm comin' Rae," he murmured to himself.
He stuck his hands out in front of him. They connected with the heavy swirling material of her cloak. He thought for a moment, then slid his hands past that so they could rest on her waist. He held them there for a moment, blushing, feeling the slimness of her waist, then removed them. Knowing there would be no cups in his way, he sat down on the carpet beside Raven. He took off his glasses, closed his eyes and crossed his legs. Then he put his hands out to the side, his index finger and thumb meeting, the rest staying straight.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," the gothic girl next to him muttered and he readied himself for the next repetition.
"Azorath Merion Sinthos," he said slowly. "Wait, that's not right." He listened closely.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
"Ok, this time," he said. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." His insides started jumping; he had done it. He repeated the phrase quietly, his ears back, his eyes closed and a smile on his lips.
Raven opened her eyes slowly.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she finished and put her legs beneath her, making her stand up. To her surprise, someone continued the chant.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." The voice was slightly gravely, like her own, but deeper. She looked down at the floor next to her and took a step back. An emerald changeling was sitting cross-legged on the floor next to her, his eyes closed and his hands in meditation pose.
"Beast Boy?" she said in disbelief.
"Azara-" he said. "Hey, you stopped." He smiled up at her.
"Were you just meditating?"
"Yeah. It wasn't that bad."
He put out his hand and she pulled him to his feet. He stumbled slightly and she grabbed his hips to stop him falling. He smiled, his hands coming up to meet hers. She blushed.
"So," she said, pulling her hands away. "Why did you start meditating? I thought you said it was boring."
"I did. But you touched my tofu, so I thought I'd try it." He shrugged. "That and I was bored."
Ah, she thought.
Aloud she said, "How long have you been sitting there?"
He shrugged again. "'bout ten minutes."
"You spent ten minutes just sitting there?" she asked. Her mind and body had gone into shock.
"Well, I was chanting too." He scratched one of his ears absently. "Now we're even. You cooked me tofu, I tried your meditation."
"And what did you think?" Suddenly she was desperate for him to say he liked it. Her stomach dropped when he shrugged.
"Wasn't bad. The company's good." He winked.
His glasses, Rae's mind muttered.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she murmured aloud and his glasses lifted off the floor and pushed softly between his fingers. They tightened around the black plastic of the frame.
"Thanks Rae," he said smiling. He pushed the glasses into place, shielding his forest green eyes.
"It's ok," she said, returning the smile. "My emotions can't stop talking about you."
"Huh?" He had been in the act of brushing off his legs for no good reason, but he lowered the raised limb. "How d'ya know that?"
"That's what I do when I meditate. I talk to them. I control them. It's very useful."
"Oh…" He scratched his head. "I get it now. Who were you talking too?"
"Knowledge." He raised an eyebrow. She sighed. "The one in the yellow cloak. Her realm is a library. She showed me your book."
"I have a book?" He smiled. "Sweet."
"Don't be so hasty," Raven replied, smiling. "Robin, Cyborg and Star also have books." His happy face fell like a sack of bricks. "Your's is just the biggest, that's all." It rose again, like a helium balloon.
"You mean it?"
"It's a book full of things my emotions say about that person. For example, when Happy said 'I've always thought you were funny Beast Boy,' that went in there, in pink ink. When Knowledge says something, it shows up in yellow ink."
"What did she say?" Beast Boy asked eagerly. Raven rolled her eyes, knowing she'd regret this later.
"She said you're smarter then you look."
"Yes." Beast Boy jumped and punched the air. "Score!" He landed and danced around in a circle. "Hey Rae," he said, coming to a stop right in front of her. "Wanna see what's on TV?"
"You want to watch TV," she said slowly.
"Well. Sorta like the games. You know?"
"I guess so." He jumped again, grabbed her arm and tried to pull her to the couch. He stopped and tried to sit down. "Um, Beast Boy. That's the bin."
"Oh." He stood up again and she pulled a banana skin out of his hair. "Thanks." He smiled and started towards the kitchen.
"This way," Raven said.
She gently took his arm and led him to the semi-circular couch. He jumped over the back and started to scrabble around for the remote. Raven sighed and floated next to him, summoning the remote with a twitch of her finger. It flew from the table top into her hand and she put it down next to Beast Boy.
"Found it!" he said a moment later.
He held it above his head and tried to turn on the TV, unaware the remote was backwards. Raven sighed again and turned it on herself.
The screen was a dark shade of red, the music low and frightening.
"What's happening?" Beast Boy asked. She told him and words materialised on the screen.
"When someone dies in the grip of a powerful sorrow or rage, a curse is born," Raven said staring at the screen. "It never forgives, it never forgets. And any one who visits the place of death will become consumed." She gulped.
That's like Father, she thought.
"Wow. That's creepy." Beast Boy leaned back. "Let's watch."
"Alright," she said shakily. "There's a lot of names. And…" She stopped.
"Go on," Beast Boy said, pulling on her sleeve.
"The Grudge," she finished.
"I've heard of this," Beast boy said. "It's supposed to be great." He leaned back onto the couch, his arms spreading out along the back. Raven sighed audibly and leaned back as well, leaning on his arm. He smiled.
"The camera pans up a sleeping woman's body," she said softly, speaking loud enough to be heard, but quietly enough so he could hear the movie. "She's woken up. She smiles at a man who's standing on the balcony." He heard the words the fictional character said. "He looks at her hopelessly and shrugs slightly. He puts both hands on the railing…" She paused. "And flips himself over. The camera follows his path down to the ground." Beast Boy winced. Raven continued, "The woman sits up and calls the mans name. The camera is suddenly on the ground, panning down slowly to his body." She swallowed.
They watched the movie for another half hour. She continued to describe every single bit.
"It's a dark room, the community centre where Rachel works. The boss, I can't remember his name, is coming down the stairs. There's a girl in dirty torn clothes, I think it's Yoko, walking jerkily across the ground floor. She's going down the stairs. The boss kneels down and puts his hand on the stair. It comes up covered in blood. He calls her name and she turns around." Raven jumped and ducked into Beast Boy's chest.
"What? What is it?" He hugged her closer.
"Sorry," she said shakily. "Yoko turns around and her lower jaw is gone. Her tongue hangs down to her sternum."
"What's that?" he asked, stroking her shoulder gently, comforting her.
"This," she said, poking him in the hard spot between his pectorals.
"Eww." He stroked from her shoulder down to her elbow and back up. "We can stop watching if you want."
"No, I'm alright," she said hesitantly. She took a deep breath and went back to describing the movie.
She was alright until near the end.
"You hear that croak right?"
"Yeah." Beast Boy nodded. It was a deep inhuman croak, like a bloated bullfrog.
"Alright. Rachel is running to her boyfriend, I can't remember his name either, and staring around. The camera angle changes to the stairs and a blue thing is coming around the corner. It's the woman who was drowned by her husband. She's pulling herself out of a bag with her arms. She's crawling down the stairs like a spider." She gasped slightly and buried closer to the warmth of Beast Boy's body.
"Are you ok?" he asked, concerned.
"Yes. It's just so…" She trailed off, shuddering.
"It's ok. Just don't suppress your fear this time." He kissed the top of her head lightly.
"Alright. The drowned woman is chasing them. Rachel screams at her and runs, trying to pull her boyfriend with her."
They kept watching. The movie was almost over.
"Rachel is coming down the hallway. She's got cuts all over her." She read the subtitles at the bottom of the screen. "Rachel walks into the room and stares at her boyfriend. A black curtain of hair grows out from under the white sheet and a blue arm falls off the side of the table. She gasps and the hair is gone, the arm is normal. She stands there, trembling and the camera pans around her. There's another trembling person behind her. The person looks up, the camera zooms into her eyes and the screen goes black."
"Wow." Beast Boy hugged Raven a little closer to his side. "That's creepy."
"Very creepy." She nuzzled slightly into his ribs, her arms tightening.
"It's over now," he said soothingly, stroking her hair. "Don't worry."
"It's just the sight of those girls. Yoko and the drowned one. It's just awful."
"Because of the effects?"
"Yes." There was a pause.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For making you watch that movie. I didn't realise it'd be so creepy." She stiffened slightly.
"It's alright," she said. She let go of him and he sat up.
"You ok?"
"Yes."
"You know, we're going to be honest to each other now. You know that don't you?"
"Yes." She sounded more hesitant now.
"So you can tell me."
"You said it was creepy. And before you said I was creepy. I thought creepy was a bad thing."
"Creepy can be a good thing. And in the case of you, it's better then good." He reached out and pulled her back into his embrace.
She smiled slightly, satisfied with the answer he had given.
"So you enjoyed it?" she asked, her cheek resting on his ribcage.
"Yeah. It wasn't bad. It would've been better if I could see it." She looked up into his face. His corners of his mouth were turned down and a tear splashed on her cheek.
"Don't worry BB. There's no proof it's permanent." She put one arm over his stomach and hugged him. He smiled slightly.
"But there's no proof it's not." She frowned slightly.
"I can…" she paused.
"You can what?" Beast Boy asked.
"I can try to heal you. But it won't be easy. Your blindness might not be permanent, but if I do this wrong it might become permanent. I'm not sure I should risk it."
"Why not? I need to see." He stroked her hair. "I can survive for a week like this, but not my whole life. I want to see it when Rob and Star get married. I want to see who Cy ends up with. I want to see what our kids look like." He paused, realising what he'd said. There was a moment silence, where both teens blushed.
"Anyway," Raven said quickly. "It could be dangerous. I don't want to hurt you." She ran a finger down his cheek.
"Um. Let's go to your room," he said.
"Alright," she agreed. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." A black raven encased them and they materialised in Ravens room. They were lying on her bed.
"Just curious, can you control where we land?"
Raven blushed. "No." There was a disbelieving pause. "Ok. I can."
"Ok. So, we were saying. I really want you to heal me Rae. I know you can do it."
"How can you be sure? My powers are very unpredictable. You never know what might happen."
"I'm sure. You can do it. I know you won't mess up. Please Rae. It's the only way to get my life back on track."
She paused.
"Alright. I'll do it."
"Thankyou." He pulled her closer to him and kissed her.
"Stay still and close your eyes."
He smiled at her and closed his eyes. She put her hands over them, the tips of her fingers brushing his eyelids.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she said softly and a white glow encased her hands. He groaned slightly, his eyes screwing up. She frowned. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she said again. The white glow grew stronger, then fizzled out. "You can open your eyes now."
"Rae," he said softly when he had opened them. "I still can't see."
"It's ok. When an injury has been present for as long as yours has, it can take up to three days to heal. But it can happen at anytime during those 72 hours." She kissed him gently. "I'm happy how that went. I think you'll see again."
"That's brilliant!" He kissed her passionately and let her go, starting to dance around the room. "I'm going to see! I'm going to see!"
"Until then can you shut up?" came Cyborg's voice from the ground. There was a thumping from below. "I'm workin' on my baby."
"Sorry Cyborg," Beast Boy yelled down to the floor. He stopped dancing suddenly and ran over to Raven. "Rae," he said excitedly. "I'm going to stay with you almost 24/7. I want my first sight to be of you." He cupped her face in his hands.
"Um, Beast Boy," Raven said, blushing. "That means sharing a room."
"Oh." He let go of her. "I stick by it. We can sleep in here or in my room. I promise I won't get perverted on you. I won't try to get fresh. Please Rae. Please." He morphed into a kitten and did 'The Face'. Raven sighed.
"Alright. But we're on different sides of the bed and no touching." Beast Boy morphed back into himself, a huge smile on his face.
"Cross my heart and hope to die," he said, miming a cross over his heart. "So, which sides mine?" He rubbed his hands together.
AN. Oooooo… Suspense… Like I said before people, mind out of the gutter. Nothing is going to happen. Beast Boy will NOT get fresh. Or will he? Mwa ha ha… How did you like my descriptions of 'The Grudge'? I did it by memory. Well done to me... (pats self on back)
POLL!
Who would Raven like better? Stephen King or R.L.Stine?
