ONE WEEK LATER

Robin paced around the room. "Time's up." The Titans looked up at him, Beast Boy looking up guiltily. "One week's gone by and no sign of Raven. Starfire spoke up. "I am wondering if she has not really gone to Azarath, and the letter was not real." Beast Boy was panicking. Cyborg agreed with Starfire. "Yeah, the letter could be a whole cover-up. Someone could have taken her, or even worse, she could be hurt, or even…dead." He said "dead" as if it was a dirty word. Beast Boy was panicking so badly, he was shaking. Oh man! They've figured it out! They know I killed her! Robin agreed. "Something could have happened to her, and we didn't even know it! We're going to search every room until we find out what happened." Beast Boy gulped. He was dead meat when they found out. Literally.

"We'll start with Raven's room, since she's the one that's missing." Everyone followed Robin as the lights flickered off. Lightning flashed outside, shortly followed by a loud rumble of thunder. They stepped into the Goth girl's room, searching for any clues. Finding nothing, they went on to the next room. They went to Starfire's, Cyborg's, and even Robin's room. Each time, they found nothing. Beast Boy's room was the only room unchecked. The door slid open as the stepped next to it. It was messy. There was exercise equipment everywhere, joke books scattered all over the floor, and various other things covering the floor, so that you can barely walk in there. Luckily Starfire could just float over the mess, meanwhile Robin and Cyborg had to find any open area to walk in, as if it was a huge maze. Beast Boy decided to stay behind, not wanting to know what they might find. Starfire was the first to find something. "Friends! Come look to see what I have located! Raven's communicator is here!" The two other boys tried to hurry to the scene, trying as hard as they could not to step on and break something that may have any importance to Beast Boy. They saw more than just Raven's communicator. "A piece of Raven's cloak and…" Cyborg's voice trailed off, while Robin finished the sentence. "…Blood." The three teens stared at each other. Had Beast Boy really killed Raven? If he did kill her, why did he? There was only one way to find out.
