But I must say that a few of you forgot or plain just don't read my author's notes. But that's okay since you read, liked, and reviewed my story. For those of you who DO read my messages, I just want to say that from now on everyday I'm on I'll keep a note up saying how far I am in my chapter and other stuff in my profile. Also, I've thought of a new story. I don't know if I'll write it, but I plan to after I'm done with this story and have the time. Here's the summary that can also be found in my profile. I'm posting it at the bottom of the page. Enough annoying you all, Here's the story.

Cut Ropes

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS! But if all goes according to plan...
Last Time:

"Have any ideas?" I asked

He frowned in deep thought. "No…wait! Yeah, I know how we can escape…."

Raven's POV:

Beast Boy fumbled back and forth as he was trying to position himself to get something out of his pocket.

He looks like an idiot. Like always…I thought fondly. STOP IT! I can't have thoughts or feelings like that ever again…

"Got it!" He smiled triumphantly while holding a miniature knife.

"When did you start carrying a knife?" I asked, eying it with curiosity.

"I used it to cut some aloe leaves when they captured me."

I said nothing as I waited impatiently. With each swipe of the blade it brought us closer to freedom. Closer to home and farther from…

"Done!" He said, his trademark smile growing wider. I quickly gave a glance at Lashoom and Takeem. Lashoom was too busy yelling at how wrong everything Takeem was doing. Takeem just sat there and took it. Both were two busy too notice their captives escaping.

BRUSH. Something touched my skin and I tensed.

"Rae, it's ok, it's just me," Beast Boy said with a laugh. I relaxed a little as grabbed my ankles and started cutting the rope around them carefully.

"We can't use our powers Beast Boy. How are we going to defeat them once my ropes are cut?"

"I don't know. I guess we'll just have to wing it," He replied. "We'll just have to use our animal instincts."

He chuckled at his little joke.

"There we go! Your legs are free, now for your hands…"

"Finally! We can leave! It took you long enough you worthless piece of scum," Lashoom yelled angrily. He looked over at us…

"NO! YOUR NOT ESCAPING THIS TIME!" He grabbed a sword and charged at us.

"Hurry!" Beast Boy yelled and pulled me onto my feet. "Run!"

I ducked to the side as Lashoom swung for my head. I wanted to punch his brains out for what he did to me, to everyone. But with my hands still tied all I could do was run like a coward.

I can't leave Beast Boy behind…I looked back and there he was, dodging Lashoom's attacks with little difficulty. But he was rapidly running out of room as he was unknowingly being backed into a corner.

"Beast Boy, run! You don't have much more room!" I yelled desperately.

At my calling he looked up at me, just as Lashoom struck.

"Ahhh…" Beast Boy clutched his stomache and doubled over in pain.

"BEAST BOY!" I called and ran towards him. But before I could take one step I felt a hand on my shoulder.

Takeem pulled me into a magical pentagram. "Pentulam, Giosulum, Quithempeef ." He said and the floor lit up around us. "There, you safe for now. If you go to him, you'll end up hurt. Just wait, please," Takeem said.

I shook him off and backed away.

"What do you care? Your just going to sell me off anyway."

His eyes became soft and caring.

"I'm sorry, but please. Listen to me…"

"Why should I?"

"Raven, I'm in love wi…"

"Love? LOVE? How can you love somebody your going to sell away like some dog? Is that what you call love?"

"NO! I don't want to…"

"SELL ME? Then why are you?"

"Because I have to!"

"WHY?"

"BECAUSE I JUST DO! OKAY?"

"NO! It's not okay. This is just some schoolyard crush…"

"No, it's so much more than that…"

"You've just met me! You know nothing about me! How can you love me?"

"I don't know, I just do. Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?"

"That's just some story tale fantasy notion. It's not real."

"Don't tell me you haven't had the same feelings back. I know you have."

I said nothing as my fear showed in my face. But it quickly gave way to rage.

"BECAUSE YOU'VE IMPLANTED THEM INTO MY BRAIN!"

"NO I HAVEN'T! Love is the one emotion I have no control over. How many times do I have to say that?"

"Then how do you know how I feel?"

"I can't control it but I can sense it. Please believe me." He looked so innocent and sincere.

It's a trick. It has to be. You just met him, you don't know anything about him. I don't love him… what I'm feeling is obsession. Yeah, that got to be it! It just has to be… That's not love exactly, he probably can control that and effect my feelings with it… with every thought I became angrier and angrier.

Wait… I paused. Why is the bracelet calm. I should be out cold by now…I looked at the band around my wrist.

"I turned it off temporarily. But you still can't use your powers," Takeem said, noticing my confusion.

I inhaled deeply, calming my internal maelstrom.

"What does it matter? No matter how you feel about me, or how I supposedly feel about you, you're still going to sell me. This conversation and little "Love affair" is pointless," I said logically. My face as emotionless as ever.

Shocked at my changed of attitude so quickly, Takeem said nothing as he soaked in my words. I only gave him a freezing stare.

He turned away from me. "Patheek Bateamo." The pentagram dimmed and sounds of Beasy Boy and Lashoom's battle flooded into my ears. So caught up in our conversation I didn't notice the silence.

The bracelet throbbed agonizingly.

I guess I'm not as calm as I thought.

Wincing from the pain, I watched Beast Boy dodged another attack. Just barely.

He saw me and yelled "RAE! RUN!" But in warning me that left him open for attack. Lashoom brought the handle of the sword hard into Beast Boy's gut. So hard did he hit that the green changling flew into the wall behind him causing cracks to spurt from the impact.

I gritted my teeth and gave Lashoom a stare that defined the phrase "If looks can kill." He never noticed and just laughed evilly at his success.

"Shut up," I said threateningly. Everything was instantly quiet. It seemed that even the fire didn't dare crackle. Lashoom looked at me with a boasting, shocked smile.

"I thought you were smart enough to have run away by now," he glanced at Beast Boy, who was in a huddled mass on the floor, weakly looking up at me. His smile turned into a sneer, "You must have some reason for staying. Feelings for the green weakling perhaps?"

I could hear Takeem behind me inhale sharply.

My stare manage to intensify somehow. I had pleasant mental images of Lashoom being stoned with large boulders. Him begging for mercy at my feet…

"AHHHH" I fell.

CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS I mentally screamed at myself. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Azarath, Mentrion, Zenthos, Azarath, Metrion, Zen…

Laughter interrupted my thoughts. "Now that we got that out of our systems," I felt myself being lifted and quickly opened my eyes. "It's time to go." Lashoom's face was inches from mine. His breath made me want to vomit. He threw me into the space set aside for the portal.

I rolled onto my side and watched him lug Beast Boy's wriggling form onto his shoulder and carried him towards me. Takeem followed.

"I've had enough of this pathetic world for now. Take us back Takeem," Lashoom said arrogantly. Takeem nodded.

Carefully avoiding looking at me I noted. Takeem… don't… please…

"Hickawratha, Borlialis, Fateecheemuk," Takeem chanted. Instantly bright light flashed around us leaving only the embers of our fire in our wake.

(A/N:)

As promised, here's my idea for a new story. Tell me what you think.
Possessed:
Perfect. An imaginary word. Nothing is perfect, it's impossible. But yet, when things are as "Perfect" as they can be how long will it last? Not long when you, your friends, your LIFE is being coveted by jelous, plotting eyes. How can Raven fight a foe who not only wishes they could be her, but has the power and will to do so? How can Raven fight a foe when it is her... so to speak? This is a Teen Titan fic about Raven. I'm not sure yet if there'll be any RaeXBB but chances are there will.

Now I don't know if we're allowed to reply to our reviewers. I don't think we are, are we? Does anybody know? This the space where I thank all you who reviewed. So I'll just say THANK YOU! I treasureALL you reviews and am soooo happy you posted them. Please keep reading and reviewing.
