Hey everyone,

This chapter took a while to write because I put in a lot of details, it's long, and I'm kinda lazy. But it's done. Not the story the chapter. I still don't know what I'm doing with the story so I can't write a preview for the next chapter. Sorry. But I'm thinking of making this story longer then originally planned but we'll see. So Read, Review, and Enjoy.

Last Time:

"You are Raven, are you not?" He asked. "My name is Takeem. That over there," he nodded towards the sleeping man "is my master, Lashoom."

"What do you want with me?" I asked Takeem.

He smiled and reached for me…


Raven's POV

…and untied the blindfold around my neck. His hand straying a second too long.

"What do you want with me?" I asked again. He pulled away and sat down across from me. He looked back at Lashoom nervously.

"He's asleep. Now can you answer me," annoyance slightly creeping into my voice.

"I don't know if I should…" Takeem said indecisively. It was obvious he wanted to but was afraid of his "Master".

"You've kidnapped me against my will, I'm entitled to an explanation as to why," I said flatly. This seemed to be all the convincing he needed.

"We our Demon Catchers. Well… Lashoom is, I'm just a low class wizard who transports him from place to place. That and make Kullucks, which is what's preventing you from using your powers. It's marvelous really, it's a magically charged bracelet made of Tupoff. Tupoff is a metal that absorb demonic powers. I'm really good at making them you see the secret is…"

"I'm sure you are, now what are Demon Catchers?" I interrupted.

"Oh yeah, uh Demon Catchers. Right. Umm well, you know how demons can't stand other demons. The stronger demons like to have… well… slaves. Demon slaves are a quite popular nowadays. Well you have to have someone to catch the demons right? Well that's where we come in, Demon Catchers. We catch lesser demons and sell them, for a great price of course. And it's not just stronger demons.Witches, warlocks, and other of the like need demon slaves too."

"You sick little…" anger was filling me fast. I could feel my power rising up within me. Then a horrifying pain came from my right wrist. I winced from the pain and almost screamed but then the pain receded to a dull throb. On my wrist was a silverish bracelet that had magic infuse around the band. "How could you do such a thing?"

"I don't want to," he pleaded to me. His eyes were begging for forgiveness. He was so upset with himself he needed to talk to someone, which at the moment, happened to be me.

"I was just a simple wizard at the Academy of Magic. Then I got kick out for Abusing the Privilege of Magic on School Grounds AND Pillaging From a Student. I didn't even do anything. This girl had played a trick on the school janitor by turning him into a mouse. The thing is, when the janitor's pet cat, Flufferball, started chasing Janitor I tried to help. I told the girl to change him back and she said If you want him back so bad, change him yourself. Then she tossed me her spellbook and left.

I was trying to change the janitor back when a teacher walked by and saw the scene. I got into so much trouble and no matter how much I tried to tell someone my story nobody listened. The girl, whose name is Rosa Bacherosso, even had the nerve to say that I STOLE her book, getting me in more trouble.

So they kicked me out of school. I had no where to go. That's where Lashoom came in. He offered me money, adventure, a new life if Iserved him. So naturally I said yes. We've been catching demons ever since."

His eyes came back into focus as he slowly wakened into reality.

"So that's your life story?" I asked slightly interested but very annoyed.

He didn't say anything. He blushed and turned away from me, embarrassed that he told a complete stranger his story. A half-demon, soon-to-be-slave at that. Even though the stranger was a very pretty girl who he was beginning to trust for some reason.

He started to get up…

"How could someone like you, who tried to save someone, sell lives, no, SOULS?" I asked trying to keep him talking. The more he talked, the more comfortable he was around me. And that means I have a slightly better chance of escaping.

"They're demons. They're evil beings, I'm doing a service for everyone." He said trying to convince himself more than he was me.

"I am NOT evil. I am a Teen Titan. I save people from villains trying to disturb the peace. I do good in the world not evil. I don't deserve to be traded away like I'm some sort of collectable card, to be used at someone else's bidding."

He was quiet, sinking this all in. I knew he wanted to release me, but something held him back, but what? He smiled and shook his head.

"Nice try demon, I have heard many pleas in my short time but none quite like this," he said convincing himself more and more with each word.

"I'm telling the truth," my voice was starting to lose it's usual calm, monotone. "If you don't believe me ask anyone around. Look in newspapers, watch the news, google it for all I care. But please promise me to at least check it out before you sell MY SOUL to an eternity of servitude."

He was quiet once again. He just looked at me coldly but I could detect some sympathy in his eyes. "Good night Demon." He said and turned away from me and walked to his magic area to work on the portal.

I sighed. The entrance of the cave was getting lighter. Dawn was approaching. I was so tired, I leaned against the wall. Eventually sleep took me.


BB's POV

CRASH

"No Starfire, mustard does NOT go on scrambled eggs," Cyborg said frustrated.

"But.."

"NO! You can put some on your own later."

"Hey, guys," I said yawning. I fell asleep on the couch and had nightmares all night of Raven. Of hurting Raven. Cyborg and Starfire were in the kitchen debating what should be put on scrambled eggs. They knocked over a pot and woke me up.

"Friend Beast Boy, You are awake." Starfire said in her usual cheery tone.

"Yeah, um, has Raven come back yet?" I asked hopefully.

"Not that I know of, you might want to check her room," Cyborg said distractedly trying to stop Starfire from putting mint frosting all over the eggs. "Hey, Stop that…"

I hurried out of the room and towards Raven's. Soon enough I was standing in front of her door. The place where I stood so many times before and where I eventually drove her away.

Knock. Knock.

Silence.

Knock. Knock. "Uh, Raven you there?" I asked.

Silence.

"If you don't answer right away I'm coming in."

Silence

"Okay, I'm coming in." I opened the door…

Empty.

"Raven! Raven!" I called walking in. Her room was empty. I checked everywhere, under the bed, her desk, her drawers, closet, nowhere. I was starting to get nervous, my palms were starting to sweat.

"Raven, I came to apologize, please show your self. Raven. RAVEN!"

Silence.

She's gone. I thought. Gone and because of me. I drove her away and now she's gone. She could be lying in a ditch somewhere, hurt, and it's all my fault. UGH! How can I be so stupid. She might be dead for all I know… I have to find her. This isn't like Raven to stay out all night and not tell anyone where she's going. Something bad must've happened toher.I have to find her.

I was determined. I had to find her if it was the last thing I did. I ran into the living room.

"She's still missing," I yelled. Everyone, (including Robin who came in a couple minutes earlier) looked up from their breakfast.

"Calm down Beast Boy," Robin said soothingly.

"Calm down. CALM DOWN. Raven's missing since last night and hasn't come back yet. And it's all my fault. For all we know she could be hurt, or kidnapped, or dead, or…"

"CALM DOWN Beast Boy, we'll find her," said Robin.

" It's all my fault. All my fault…" I said despairingly.

"No man, it's not all your…well actually it is," said Cyborg.

"Your not helping," I snapped.

"Dude, chill" Cyborg said.

"CHILL. Don't tell me to chill Tin Man," I said angrily. Raven was missing and so far no one had gotten up from the table to find her. I couldn't take it anymore.

If they're not going to look for her than I will. I thought storming out of the room. I could picture my friends shocked faces. This wasn't like me. I'm never this serious or focused. But I didn't care what they thought or said. I had to find Raven.

I made my way to the roof top and morphed into a bird and took off. I didn't know where I was going. My mind drifted off as I was flying as a soared to an unknown direction into the countryside.

It's all my fault. It's all my fault. I'm such an idiot. How could I hurt Raven like that.The last thing I want to do is hurt Raven. I wish I could see her intelligent indigo eyes. Her beautiful, calm face. I'm sorry Raven, so sorry…

Suddenly I came back to the present and realized I was flying over a forest miles from the city. There was a clearing up ahead and I decided to rest there while I decided what to do.

I sat down with my back against the trunk of the tree. What am I going to do? Raven's missing because of me and now I'm in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure that where ever she is it wouldn't be here. What am I going to do?

All of a sudden I could hear voices. Faintly, but voices. I turned into a bat and traced the sound back to it's source. After a few minutes I came to a cave. I looked in and there she was…
