I am so sorry! I planned to have this up last week, but my Microsoft word program freaked out and wouldn't work. But…my brother is wonderful and I love him (you will never hear that again, by the way) He fixed it for me. Soo…a week late, here it is!

They Shall Never Know

Chapter 6

They Know

Three days. For three days we fought in my daughter's mind. She put up a valiant fight once she realized what had happened, but she was too late. Even if she had some help they would be no good to her. This body was now mine. Finally I had a physical body! Even if it wasn't my own.

I sat up, grinning manically as I flexed my hand. My four red eyes scanned the area. I looked down on my body and frowned. It was wounded and broken. Swiftly I used my daughter's powers to heal myself. Then I stood.

The door slid open, and a Tamaranian girl stepped through. She looked up at me and screamed. And in the depths of her broken mind, in a cage made of more than just metal, I heard Raven scream too.

I laughed again and threw the girl from the room with my powers. My daughter's other pathetic 'friends' came running. I saw the bird boy run to his little girlfriend, while the green boy and the cyborg looked at me in shock.

I couldn't stop laughing.


"Starfire!" I screamed, running towards her. She was unconscious, and a wound bleed from her head. Gently I examined it. It didn't seem too serious. I hugged her head, and then stared up at Raven in anger. I hated not knowing what was going on, and right now, I sure as hell didn't have any idea. But Raven had hurt Starfire, and teammate or not, I wouldn't stand for it. I stood, going over to Beastboy and Cyborg. I opened my mouth to speak, but Raven spoke first. Her voice was strange, layered, almost like someone was speaking through her.

"My, my, my. What have we here?" Her mouth twisted in a cruel smile. "Did I hurt the girl? Hmm, I thought Tamaranian's were stronger than that. But then, no one is as strong as me."

"What's going on, Raven?" I asked cautiously.

"Raven?" She laughed evilly. "Raven's not here right now. And I guess I should thank you for it. In return, I shall kill you four last." She laughed again, before saying in the most sinister voice I have ever heard, "Hatred shall consume this world."


Stupid! I'm so stupid! This is all my fault. I don't really know what happened but I just know I did it.

"Raven!" I cried desperately. (Whoa, that's a big word for me…Oh, right, sorry) And ran towards her. "Raven, wake up!" I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her. "Come on Rae, this isn't you. Please, stop it!"

Raven raised her hand and pried me off of her with her powers. She held me in the air for a few seconds, grinning, before she said. "Ah, Beastboy. I guess I have you to thank most of all."

"What?" I gasped, more fearful of the truth of what she was saying than surprised. "What- what do you mean?"

"I mean, insignificant worm, that you are the reason Raven broke. You are why I am in control. But I have a world to rule, goodbye, Titans." She mocked before she melted through the floor.

A moment later her powers released me. I slumped to the floor. "Man, I really, really screwed up. Raven's never gonna forgive me. Arrhh! I'm so stupid!" I cried, putting my head in my hands. I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder and looked up.

"It's okay, BB. I know who it is." Cyborg said. "And I have an idea."


"Okay gang, listen up." I announced to the team. We were sitting on the couch in the living room. Star was awake, and trying very hard not to cry, as it was she clung to Robin like he was the only thing keeping her tied to this world. And Robin was watching her like a hawk to make sure she was okay. And B? He was sitting on the end of the couch, staring at the floor.

"Member that day that Raven was acting all weird than me and B went into her mind?" Robin and Star nodded, I had told them basically what had happened that day, but not much cause I was scared Rae would kill me. "Well, when we were there we met her Father who was this big red monster guy bent on controlling Rae, but me and B helped beat him off. But I think he got loose again, and I think this time he won."

Star and Robin stared at me wide eyed, BB had yet to look up from the floor.

"So here's my plan. Two of us will go into Raven's mind again, and the other two will make sure she doesn't cause to much trouble in the city."

"Sounds good, Cyborg." Robin said. "You and Beastboy should go into her mind, since you've already been there. Me and Starfire will keep tabs on Raven in the real world."

Beastboy finally looked up at this. "Dudes, I can't go in there. Raven hates me."

"Don't be too sure, and I think you'd be more help in there." Robin said. I got what he meant. Robin knew it was mostly BB's fault, and he wanted Beastboy to be the one to fix it. Plus I think he's right. I don't think Raven hates B, maybe that's part of the problem.

"Alright, you all know what to do?" Robin barely gave us time to nod before yelling his battle cry. "Teen Titans, GO!"


Oh this is not good. Not good at all. I fear things will never again be as they once were. I flew swiftly next to Robin on his R-cycle.

"It looks like Raven's heading towards city hall. We've got to hurry." Robin glanced at me and his gaze softened. "You gonna be alright?"

"Oh Robin, I do not know what is to happen. I fear we may have lost friend Raven, forever."

"Don't worry Star, Beastboy and Cyborg will help her. Everything's not going to be fine."

"Oh, I do hope you are correct friend Robin. I miss friend Raven very much and I would like all this badness to end now please."

"It'll be okay Star, we're the Teen Titans, and we can beat this."

I smiled down at friend Robin, he is always there to cheer me up when I need it. "Thank you friend Robin, I-" A black-coated car flying between us cut me off.

"There she is! You ready Star?"

I nodded, determined. As Robin says, we have an obligation to the city, and we must protect it. Even if the villain was one of our friends.

"I'm sorry friend Raven, please do not be angry with me." I said, before charging up my starbolts.


"Noooo! Let me out! Please! Father, release me!" I screamed, beating on the cage with my fists until they were raw and bleeding. My throat soon grew too sore and dry to speak, and I collapsed onto the ground.

"Arrgh!" I pounded my fist into the ground, furious. But my fury did not last long, soon I was crying. Angrily I wiped them away. "This is all my fault. How could I have been so reckless? Why didn't I realize what was happening? How could I let Beastboy cause me to spin out of control? Why, damn it, why?"

I curled up in a ball, wallowing in my self-pity. But not for long. No, I was planning. I would get out of here. I would stop my father. What happened after that, I dared not to think. The Titans must hate me now…


There, that's longer. What'cha think?

Okay, reviews:

Savi- -sniff- Yes…

shadowstar666- I certainly hope so!

Iuz the Old- But…I love marshmallows. You shall never destroy my love for them! –Clutches marshmallows-

disappearer/Syani- Thanks, and I know. I even said so at the bottom of my last chapter. Please read the Author's notes before you say that next time, okay? I don't like having to repeat myself, that's all.

YoshiVixen- Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it!

Sangofanatic- I started this before those came out, so it was just me guessing things based on 'Nevermore' and my own limited knowledge of Raven's past, so I did take a few liberties. As for Raven's behavior, you're right, she probably would lock herself in her room and meditate, not cry like she does. But when I stared this, I was really depressed. I mean, reallllly depressed, and what I wanted to do was go scream somewhere where no one could hear me. Since I couldn't, I made Raven do it for me. Terra gave me the opportunity, and it just happened. So in the beginning, Raven was kinda based on me. I'm not depressed anymore, but if I changed it, it just wouldn't work anymore, ya know? Okay, I'm done with my big long rant. Thanks you for the review, and thank you for the constructive criticism, I can always use more. –Waits for e-cookie- what? I read the whole thing.
