They Shall Never Know

Chapter 7

Caged

Oh man, I hate goin' into Raven's room. Even if this is an emergency this place still creeps me out. Hesitantly I tiptoed into the room, dragging B behind me. "See the mirror?" I whispered, because in Raven's room you always whisper, it's that freaky in here.

"No." BB responded dully. Poor kid still blames himself. But there's no time to worry about that now. Cautiously me and B searched the room.

"Found it! Well, alright." I said happily, then looked around nervously, even though I knew no one was in here. "Come on B, let's go."

I held the mirror in front of me and looked in it, after a second I saw a pair of violet eyes and was dragged into the mirror by a black hand. I screamed, I think BB screamed too as he grabbed my leg. Then we were there.

"Duuude, I am never gonna get used to that." BB complained.

"No kidding." I said, standing up to look around. "Whoa…" Raven's mind looks like it's gotten a makeover, the sky is red, the ground is red, and everything just seems even more sinister than it was before. And that's saying something.

"Hey B," I said as something occurred to me. "Last time we were dragged in here by four red eyes, why do ya think this time it was two violet ones?"

BB appeared to be thinking, a scary thought. "Well…" He said slowly, "Trigon wouldn't want us here, so it must've been Raven."

I blinked. Twice. "Dude, that was…actually…intelligent."

Beastboy looked smug. "Told ya I have a brain."

"Whatever man. Come on, let's look around."

So we did, and I gotta tell ya'll, it wasn't easy. Everywhere we went it was just barren rock. Finally we spotted a bit of pink cloth. We both ran in that direction, and when we got close enough we could see a cage with a pink-robed girl sitting inside.

"Raven!"

"Look out!" I cried, leaping forward to push Starfire out of the way of Raven's attack.

"Thank you friend Robin." She said quickly, before flying forward to attack Raven again.

The fight was going nowhere. We both knew it, but what could we do? I never knew Raven was so powerful. Suddenly, I heard a scream. Turning I saw a small girl about to be crushed by a falling rock. I ran forward as fast as I could, grabbing her out of the way as fast as I could. Setting her down I turned to Raven, who looked particularly pleased about something.

"Raven, fight him! You can beat him, I know you can!"

Raven laughed. "Foolish human. My daughter can no longer hear you. But you shouldn't be worrying about Raven right now."

"I'm not afraid of you." I said darkly.

Raven suddenly laughed cruelly. "You haven't noticed? To think my daughter respected you!"

"What are you talking about?" I said sharply, unease filling my chest.

Raven smirked, "Missing someone Bird-boy?"

"Wha-?" I looked around hurriedly, before I noticed.

"Starfire!"

Raven laughed again, "That's right." She said, before revealing an unconscious Starfire trapped in a bubble of inverse energy.

"STARFIRE!"

"Raven!" I cried again, running towards the cage. I stopped just outside of it, looking at the girl within.

"Dude, you're that happy side of Raven." Cyborg said, "What happened to you? Did Trigon do this?"

Raven looked up at him, and tearfully shook her head. "N-no." She sounded nothing like she had last time.

Cyborg crouched down, trying to comfort her. "Can you tell me who did?"

Hesitantly, the girl raised her hand and pointed at me. "He-he did. And Raven did. It…it hurts. It hurts a lot. Raven isn't very happy anymore."

I stood, shocked, looking at her. I did this? What I said, it hurt her so much she locked away her happiness? It's...my fault.

"Hang on," Cy said, "I'm getting you out of here." He moved to break the bars.

"You can't!" She cried suddenly. "I can only be freed when Raven is happy again."

"But how can we do that?" I broke in desperately. "Please, let me fix this!"

The pink-cloaked girl looked up at me. Then smiled. "You're, here to help? You're sorry?" The smile grew, then the cage suddenly shattered like ice. Happy stood up and laughed. "Come on, we need to find Raven's smart side, she'll know what to do!"

"I, did it? I made her happy?" I whispered as we followed.

Suddenly I felt a heavy metal hand on my shoulder. Cyborg looked at me with a knowing smile. "Booyah." He said, and I smiled.

"Hurry up ya slowpokes!" Happy yelled back, giggling. And I noticed, wherever she walked, the ground lost its red color. 'Maybe, we can save Raven. Yeah, I can do this!'

"Let's go!"

"Starfire!"

Weakly I opened my eyes. "Robin?"

"Star! Hang on, I'll get you out of there!"

"Huh?" 'What is going on…?'

Suddenly I heard malicious laughter. "Try all you like, you'll never get her back. I don't even know why you care. She's a Tamaranian, a nothing."

"She. Is. NOT NOTHING!" I heard Robin yell. But I couldn't see anything. I was trapped in darkness. Panicking I called out. "Robin! Robin, where are you! I can't see! Robin!"

"Let her go Raven." I have never heard Friend Robin so angry before.

"No." Raven said coolly. I could hear the smirk in her voice.

"Give her back!" I heard him scream, and I knew he was attacking. Something happened, and I am not positive as to what it was, but I felt myself hurled back, then darkness again, but of a different kind. Distantly I heard a voice cry my name.

"NO!" I screamed, I hated to sound so weak but Starfire is, was, my friend. I closed my eyes to stop the tears from coming. Suddenly I felt something, something I had not felt in a very long time. I smiled. My father had yet to notice it. Perfect. I don't know exactly what's going on, but somehow Happy's been freed. But I can't let him know. Suddenly a red-cloaked doppelganger stood outside my cage. "Hello Ravie."

"Rage." I said coolly.

"Enjoying my cage? It's the same one you forced me into."

"You'll be back in it before long."

Rage cackled. "Hardly. You've lost Ravie, face it. You're so called 'friends' hate you now."

I gasped involuntarily, that one hurt, more than I care to admit.

Rage smiled. "See? There's nowhere for you to go now? Just remember, this is all your fault."

And she was gone. I closed my eyes again as more tears burst forth. She was right. But if I was going down, they were coming with me.

That I can promise.
