(A/N:)
YAY! I finally updated! Ok, this chapter, well, read for yourselves. I'm sorry it took so long but I had the first week of school, and MAJOR schedule problems, and this chapter is kinda long. So hopefully it should hold you off for a while. Anyway, still have Algebra homework to do. (groan). Oh, and the title DOES make sense. You just have to think about it. I was orginally going to Revelations, but decided against it. I'm not going to tell you what the title, "Triangle"means, you have to figure it out yourself. But it should be pretty easy once you read the chapter.
Summary:
When a fight with Beast Boy drives Raven away, Raven gets Kidnapped! What can she do? What will happen to her? RAEXBB
Kidnapped
Chapter 7
Triangle
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS! SATISFIED! hmpf...
Last Time:
Raven's POV:
"RAVEN..." I heard behind me but I didn't care. I headed toward my room and opened my door…THUMP.
Raven's POV:
Pain greeted me as I woke into conciseness. It was so intense I couldn't even scream. It stripped all sounds from my mouth, all thoughts from my mind. All there was was pain, and darkness.
"Master, if you don't mind me asking… why didn't we take the others?"
"Because, we need to get these troublemakers out of the way first. But don't worry, we shall be back," a second voice, obviously Lashoom said.
My eyes were still closed. I didn't want my stalkers to know that I was awake and eavesdropping. I needed time to think of a plan.
"Are you sure that collar of yours will prevent the Shapeshifter from changing form?" Lashoom asked.
"Well, I had to adjust multiple spells for it to apply to a human….but I'm pretty sure it should work," Takeem said.
Beast Boy I thought despairingly They got Beast Boy.
I heard a soft, familiar, groan beside me. "Wha…What happened? Where am I?" Gasp. "You're the ones who kidnapped Raven!"
Slap.
"Shut up!"
I heard more pain filled groans…
"Master!"
"What!"
"Ummm…. the bonds should hold. It is not necessary for you to beat him…."
"Are YOU telling ME what to do!"
"Of course not master. I…"
"SHUT UP" WHACK "Now get back to work."
"…..Yes….master…."
"I need to kill something." Lashoom said, his footsteps could be heard moving towards the opposite end of the cave. The clang of metal sounded as he picked up his swords. "Make sure they don't escape like last time. Otherwise I will not be as…lenient as I was before."
I could hear Takeem shudder. After a few muffled footsteps… there was silence.
Slowly, my eyes opened a crack. I was in same cave as before, but…. Somehow it was different. It seemed more mournful and abused. Though I couldn't pin point exactly what it was.
As my eyes scanned my jail, I noticed a lumped huddled in a corner. Soft sobs emanated from it as it occasionally quivered in the fire's unsteady light.
"Why do you work for him?" I asked in my habitual monotone, only letting slight concern and puzzlement creep in.
The lump jumped and Takeem glanced at me. He quickly turned away out of embarrassment.
"He beats you, treats you lower than dirt, yet you still serve him. Why?"
"I've already told you. I have no other choice," He said, voice full of emotion that he was trying to suppress.
"Yes you do. If you can build a portal and travel the dimensions you could go anywhere."
"Except where I belong."
Silence
"Where's that Takeem?" I asked softly. He flinched at the sound of his name.
He did not answer. Instead he gazed into the fire, watching it dance joyfully among the embers.
"Is it that school of yours?"
Again he did not answer, but I could see the tears forming.
The only way I can get out of here is if I get him to trust me… I thought.
"I know they kicked you out unjustly, but you shouldn't stoop this low," I said sympathetically. I had to let him think that I cared, and surprisingly… it wasn't a hard act. "If you do then they were right in expelling you."
He looked at me with beautiful, hard, tumultuous eyes. I stared into them, losing myself within their grasp.
"Your better than this, I know it," I whispered.
Still we stared. Never wavering, never releasing the other. We were trapped in a world all our own. Only the other exists…
Then it was gone.
His eyes hardened and closed off. The window to his soul closed, shuttered, and bared.
"Demon," he hissed. "You're a demon. Do not dare try me with your trickery…"
"I'm not trying to trick you."
"Yes you are," he stood "Your messing with my mind."
"I haven't done anything to you. I still have this bracelet on… see?" I lifted up my arm. "I can't use my powers. You've turned them against me."
He shook his head, "No, your… your toying with me. Your planting thoughts of you in my head so I can't sleep, can't eat. All I can do is think of you. Your confusing me with false feelings of love and lust. Why are you doing this to me!"
He pointed an accusing finger at me.
"I'm not doing anything. What part of I CAN'T USE MY POWERS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" I yelled.
A scream.
My scream.
I lost control of my powers and the bracelet burned me as punishment.
My body went limp and my breaths haggard.
I felt someone lift my head and saw Takeem bent over me. His face paler than the moon as he realized that what I said was true. The bracelet worked. That meant I couldn't use my powers…. and that he actually….
BB's POV:
My mind was fuzzy. As if someone wrapped me in cotton put me into a box, and filled it with bunnies.
A dull, but annoying throb was coming from my neck. But I ignored it all when I heard arguing.
Raven…and… that Takeem guy. What are they fighting about? My mind tried to zone in on the words.
"…I can't sleep, can't eat. All I can do is think of you. Your confusing me with false feelings of love and lust. Why are you doing this to me!" Takeem yelled.
"I'm not doing anything. What part of I CAN'T USE MY POWERS DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?" Raven yelled back desperately.
Scream.
Thump.
Footsteps.
I looked over and Takeem was holding her head gently. He looked as if he'd seen a ghost. Hell, he was so pale it looked like he was a ghost.
"What have you done to her!" I yelled trying to get to my feet. But, once again I was tied up.
The one, Takeem I think his name was, looked up at me.
Fear.
His eyes were full of fear. But he wasn't afraid, that's an understatement, He was terrified. Of… something.
"Let her go," I yelled and turned into a mouse…
"AHHHHHH!"
The pain was agonizing. It erupted from my neck and spilled into every inch of me.
"Don't even try changing form, shapeshifter. Your collar will prevent any attempt to use your powers and will turn them against you."
"Like what you did to Raven!" I cried.
His gaze shifted to her but quickly turned away.
"Yes," he whispered.
He laid her head down carefully and walked up to a couple of dirty sheets. He rolled one into a ball and rested her head against it. The other he draped across her carefully.
Jealousy bubbled up.
HOW DARE HE TOUCH RAVEN! HOW DARE HE…my mind went into a fit. Throwing all sorts of threats and curses at him. I went insanely mad.
"You're not a demon, a wizard, or any sort of magical being. Your just a plain human. How did you get the power to shape shift? And… why are you green?" Takeem asked me. Trying to distract his mind off of the horrifying realization.
"None of your business," I snapped. "And GET OFF HER!"
He look up at me, then back down at her. His hand brushing some fallen hair behind her ear, straying a second to long. Then he stood up sharply, and walked over and sat opposite me at the fire.
"How'd you find us?" I asked, slightly more calm now that he was away from the indigo haired sorceress.
"You live in a giant "T". Not that hard to find. Plus the bracelets were… kind of a beacon. A tracking device. But we knew that she'd return to where she lived, so it wasn't that hard of a chase. " He said.
"So you stalked us? For how long?"
"Maybe a few days, we had to get to know the target, then lure it into a trap."
"So the fight with me and Raven?"
"Exaggerated. Her feelings were stretched to an uncontrollable level."
"You bastard! You made her angry and upset! You hurt her for…"
"No, YOU hurt her. I EXAGGERATED her feelings. Which means that they were there to begin with. And I didn't have to do much, just give it a little push." Though his words were nonchalant, uncaring. His tone was remorseful, guilty. Like he was blaming himself, but, more intently, looking for another scapegoat.
I could feel the heat of his words. I was the cause of the feelings. If it wasn't for me she never would've….
"Good, it's awake," a malicious voice sneered. Lashoom.
"Master, welcome back. I…"
"Cook these," Lashoom said, tossing a few rabbits toward Takeem.
I looked away. I HATE eating meat. Even the thought of it. It was bad enough to see a sausage and imagine the animal that gave its life for it. But seeing the actual carcass being thrown so carelessly just made me want to puke.
Takeem got up and prepared the "food". I turned away in disgust and stared at the fire deep in thoughts.
What was that between Raven and Takeem? What did Takeem mean? Does…does he like her? No. He can't. can he? But... does she like him?
(A/N:)
Wow! I'm surprised on how this chapter turned out. Even I didn't know what was going to happen. But... I do know what the subtle hints mean. MWA HA HA!
