Chapter 11
The other Titans remained in the common room. No one knew what was wrong with Raven. Beast Boy was the one who was shocked the most. She acted just like before the ritual, before the two of them had confessed their love to each other.
"What's her problem now? I thought she'd be happy a bit to see us again. And I wonder how she got away. Damn, now to think about it, we don't even know what happened to her. Someone should go and ask her." Cyborg was talking partly to himself. The others nodded in agreement.
"Who shall go to friend Raven?" Starfire, although it was quite obvious who would volunteer for this task.
"I'll go and speak with her." Beast Boy whispered in a said voice. He was worried about his girlfriend. He picked up the tea that he had made her, left the common room and was headed towards the dark Titan's room.
In Raven's roomThe girl was still sitting on the floor, crying. She remembered that Terra was once in the same position. She had lain on the floor, consumed by terror and Raven came to comfort her. And now that she was in need of help who would come after her? And what could anyone possibly do to help her? If they knew the truth they could never forgive her.
Someone knocked on her door. Raven tried to wipe her tears and sat down on her bed.
"What do you want?" she asked monotonously.
"I brought you a cup of tea. And I wanna talk with you Rae." The voice that she was afraid to hear. Beast Boy's voice. She didn't want him to see her in this state. She didn't answer him. After a few seconds the door slowly opened and the green Titan carefully looked in.
"Umm, can I come in?" he asked her, but she still didn't answer and she turned her head away so he couldn't see her eyes. She didn't want him to know her secret. Beast Boy entered the dark room and went closer to the beautiful girl.
"What's wrong Rae? You're acting weird? You okay?" he asked her with a concerned voice.
"I don't want to talk about it." she tried to stop the conversation before it actually began. Beast Boy put down the warm cup of tea on Raven's desk and sat down next to the girl. He put his arm around her shoulder and gently pulled the girl close to him. She instinctively put her head on his shoulder and Beast Boy kissed the girl's hair. They were sitting in silence for a long time, just like they did so many times before. But now the silence was uncomfortable and seemed somehow disturbing.
"Beast Boy?" Raven asked him in a weak voice.
"Yes?" Beast Boy let the girl go and looked in her amethyst eyes. Her eyes were sad and full of fear.
"Why are you here?" she asked him. Beast Boy was confused by her question. He didn't know what did she want to know.
"Well, I'm worried about you Rae. First you disappear after a fight with Terra and then you come back out of nothing and you're acting creepy. I want to know what happened to you!" he tried to answer truthfully. Raven didn't say anything. She was thinking what would she say the boy. The others still didn't know about Shade's return and that was good. It hurt her, but there was only one way to keep them from harm. She had to lie.
"I fought with Terra and…killed her." she whispered. Beast Boy couldn't believe what he had just heard. He shook his head, trying to check if he wasn't dreaming. He thought over it, but he didn't know why would Raven do something. Sure, she'd never liked Terra, but to actually kill her…that was a bit harsh.
"But…how?" he was too shocked to even ask. Raven looked deep in his eyes. Her gaze scared him. She'd never looked at him this way. He had seen this kind of gaze in only two people's eyes. Shade's and Terra's.
"We had fought. I defeated her and killed her." Raven said emotionlessly, her voice reminded Beast Boy of Shade.
"Why did you kill her?" the confused Titan asked.
"Because I wanted to kill her. I wanted her to suffer! I wanted her to DIE!" Raven yelled at him and the cup of tea immediately exploded on the desk, spilling the drink all over it.
"What's wrong Rae? Why are you acting like this?" he asked her. The girl calmed down and looked on the floor. She knew that he cared too much for her. But he didn't know that she had betrayed them. He was in danger that he couldn't understand and she needed him to leave her if he was to survive.
"Beast Boy. I…I don't love you anymore." Raven lied. Beast Boy's heart froze and shattered. This was even more shocking than the news of Terra's death. This didn't make sense.
"But…but Rae…" he tried to say something, but Raven looked at him with teary eyes.
"Please, Beast Boy, leave! It's over! Get out and leave me!" she begged him as tears flowed from her eyes. Beast Boy felt as if he was in a nightmare. His body seemed to act on its own as he stood up and went to the door that he had seen so many times for the past one month. It had seemed to be the doorway to heaven, and now it was a painful end of a path. And as he exited the room the door got enveloped in a black aura and closed without a noise. He felt as if he had just died and decided to go back to his room. He didn't want to speak with anyone. He needed to be alone. For a long time.
Meanwhile, in Raven's roomA dark girl was sobbing unstoppably. She was huddled in the corner of her room. She felt the same way as the girl she had tried to comfort just some days ago.
"You have done well Raven. I'm really proud of you. I think he won't come back again." the voice of her new master echoed coldly in the small room and hit the lonely girl. She cowered even more.
"So you won't hurt them? You won't hurt him?" Raven asked with a scared voice.
"Don't worry. They'll be safe as long as you remain loyal." Shade's voice answered. A black figure walked out from one of the many shadows of the room and went closer to the terrified girl. He kneeled down next to her and looked in her eyes.
"Okay. Just please, don't hurt him!" she begged him. He smiled kindly at her and caressed the girl's hair.
"I won't." he answered and stood up. He looked at the city outside the tower. It was so peaceful, so quiet. But that would soon change.
"Well, are you ready to fulfill your destiny at my side?" Shade asked. Raven felt that all her fears disappeared and she felt strong again. She stood up and nodded. Shade smiled at the girl.
"Then let's go find our transport off this world. We don't have much time left." He said and Raven teleported from the room with Shade.
Some minutes later, common roomRobin was sitting in front of the computer and analyzing the latest data collected. Something was out of place, but he didn't know what. Some readings were too different from the previous ones.
"Yo Robin, what's the matter, you're sitting here as if there would be some huge puzzle on the monitor and you couldn't solve it? What's the problem?" Cyborg asked and leaned closer to see the monitor.
"I don't know Cy. Something's strange. The gravitation of the Earth and the Moon seemed to have…changed." Robin frowned as he studied the results.
"Now that's impossible. You must be wrong, it couldn't have…" Cyborg said, but stopped as he read the numbers on the screen. He shook his head and read the numbers over and over again.
"What the hell? The moon had...moved away to a different course?" he said to himself. He quickly wrote something on the keyboard and a new picture appeared, showing Earth in the middle and moon on the side. A line started from the moon and continued in a spiral way, until it ended…on Earth. The two Titans watched with horror.
"The moon's gonna crash into the Earth?" Robin asked, although he already knew the answer.
"Yes." Cyborg replied.
Some hours later Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Robin sat in the common room. They needed to discuss the plan for the next few days, as the collision was due in a week. They couldn't think of anything except for an evacuation of some of the inhabitants. Although no one knew where could they take the survivors. Beast Boy ran to Raven's room, to bring her to the meeting. As he opened the door he had found an empty room. It was left in the same state in which he had last seen it during his last talk with Raven. The pieces of the broken cup still lay on the desk and the floor. Raven was gone.
The end of the world and life on Earth was approaching fast.
Just seven days left for humanity.
