Chapter 7

Same day, late at night

Four of the Titans were waiting in the infirmary. They were waiting for Raven to wake up. After arriving with her back to the tower Cyborg took her immediately to the infirmary and put her on the same bed where Terra had been lying earlier that day. Terra herself went back to her room, saying that she was too tired. In truth she was crying, as her love was so quickly destroyed. She cursed herself for coming back. She should have stayed in her stone form forever. At least she wouldn't feel so bad right now. Even Beast Boy was waiting for Raven to wake up. Beast Boy. She didn't know who was more in pain: BB, or her. Didn't he love her? If he didn't, then why were they kissing this afternoon? It made no sense. But it hurt.

"Well, it seems that she's finally out of danger. All the readings are normal. She's sleeping now and needs a lot of rest." - Cyborg finally sounded a bit happier now that Raven was safe. The others let out sighs of relief and smiled a bit. She's okay.

"Any idea when is she going to wake up?" - Robin asked.

"No. She's lost quite a lot of blood and it seems that she hasn't eaten anything for days. Her blood pressure is still very low. But you don't have to worry, she will get better in time." - Cyborg answered.

"Alright. I guess we should go to sleep. This has been a busy day and we need to rest as well." - Robin said.

"Is Rae gonna be alright? What if she gets worse?" - Beast Boy was still worried about her.

"Don't worry BB, if anything changes the computer will autamatically set off an alarm." - Cyborg reassured him.

"Well, okay. See ya later guys." - and with this Beast Boy walked out from the infirmary.

"We should go as well. Let's leave Raven rest." - Robin said with a quiet voice. Cyborg and Starfire nodded and all three of them left. Raven was now alone, lying on the bed.

The night was quiet and the inhabitants of the tower quickly fell asleep.

Back at the crater

"Well, it seems that the ritual didn't go exactly as planned. I bet she didn't expect this outcome!" - said a creepy voice (A/N: something like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings).

"But this outcome suits us even more. Now that the barriers have been broken we will be able to open the portals for our brethren." - said a different voice. This one was deep, almost resonated the rocks. It was powerful, filled with hidden hatred.

"But what if she finds out? She might try to stop us." - the creepy voice asked.

"Cowardly fool! No one can defeat us now! Our armies were preparing for this moment through countless millenia. We won't allow anyone to jeopardize our plans now. I WILL NOT ALLOW IT! NO ONE CAN STAND IN OUR WAY!" - the other one was now shouting, the earth trembling beneath them.

"Of course, of course. We shall win General." - said the creepy voice, who was now apparently terrified by the 'General'.

"Good. Now let's get to work. Our victory is drawing near with every passing second!" - the General said. With that two shadows arose from the ground and flew away from the crater.

Titans tower, early morning

Terra was standing in front of Beast Boy's room. His doors closed she just stared at the letters spelling his name. She had been crying for hours last night and now her eyes were red. She wanted to go in. She needed to talk to him, she needed to know what did he feel for her. But she was afraid of what he might say. That maybe he didn't love her at all and the kisses were just parts of a small romance that was never meant to last. She needed to know. So she knocked on the door. In a few seconds Beast Boy opened the door, still sleepy. However as he saw Terra standing there, he immediately lost all signs of tiredness.

"Hiya Terra! Watcha doin' here? It's still quite early." - he was confused, but then saw her eyes. He got scared a bit, he has never seen her like this. She seemed to be in at least as bad condition as she was last day in the morning, when they had found her in front of the tower.

"Can I come in? Please." - her voice was very weak and rasping.

"Sure." - Beast Boy let her in. Terra entered his room and sat down on his bed. He sat down next to her and waited for her to start talking.

"Why, Beast Boy?" - she asked. Beast Boy was shocked by her question. What why? He didn't unerstand.

"Umm, what do you mean?" - he asked catiously. Terra looked at him. She felt hurt. How couldn't he know? Her eyes were burning, but she couldn't cry anymore. She couldn't do anything. She felt her strength drained. She just lay her head on his shoulder. Beast Boy still didn't understand what was her problem, but he knew that he had to try and make her feel better. He began to caress her beautiful long blonde hair. Terra closed her eyes. She felt safe. She wanted to hold on to this forever. Finally she regained some of her strength.

"Beast Boy. Do you love me?" - she whispered. The green changeling finally understood what was this about.

"Terra. You mean a lot to me. Always have and always will. But I don't know what do I feel. I mean, three days ago I thought that I love Raven. And so much has happened since then. I...I truly don't know. I wish I could tell you exactly what I feel. But I don't know myself. I...love you and Raven as well. I'm sorry." - he was whispering as well. He didn't want to hurt her, but he couldn't lie to her either. Terra hugged him and he hugged her back.

"Please forgive me. But I just can't tell you..." - he said. He wanted to continue, but words just didn't come. Terra released him from her hug. She was now looking at the floor, thinking about what he had said. She didn't expect such an answer. It gave her hope, but saddened her as well.

But just then the alarm was set off in the tower. Beast Boy instantly knew why and ran out of his room, Terra followed him. They were getting close to the infirmary, when the steel door to it was harshly blown out of it's place and went straight through the wall.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" - a chilling high-pitched scream sounded from inside the infirmary, that sounded much more like the howling of the wind.
