Please, Forgive Me...

Chapter Two

"Ah! No!" Came a cry. "Please! S-stop it!" Watching from the eyes of a child, a girl tossed and turned in her sleeping, mumbling words of fear. Her were clamped shut, and the pain she felt as it washed over her, killing her. The perpetrator was about her age, when green-toned skin.

She tried to awaken, but to no avail. She was stuck in this endless nightmare of cruelty. There was a growl...Inhuman, animal-like. A scream. Female. It was her scream. Backing up against an imaginary wall, the violet haired teen held her head with her hands, shutting her eyes. "Please...Let this end...Make ...it ...stop..." She fell to her knees, sobbing incoherently. "No..."

A flash of light, and Raven burst forward, gasping for breath. She looked around the dark, creepy room. The same room it had happened. She then noticed her clothes were soaked from the sweat of the night. In despair, she began to sob. "Oh, God, why...?"

From beyond that door, an innocent one pressed her ear against the door. She herself began to cry. This was too much. Raven couldn't stay in her own room anymore. It had scarred her with horrible memories. Starfire shut her eyes and sighed. Oh, my poor friend Raven...This is unbearable. Your pain scars me as well... What she didn't expect was a soft, mellow voice to call out to her. "You...You're there, aren't you, Star?"

"Oh! Raven...I didn't mean to awaken you."

"Nah, I can't sleep..."

Starfire sighed. She smiled sadly. She knew that no matter how hard Raven tried to hide it, she'd been crying. It showed right through her voice. "Are you feeling well?"

Raven pressed against the wall, keeping in a shuddering sigh. "Y-yes, I'm fine..."

"Raven...Would you like to come over to my room?" Starfire asked. She began to get enthusiastic. "Oh! We could have the sleeping over party!" She clasped her hands together, a bright smile upon her face. Raven managed a small smile. "Thank you, Star...I think I will." She pushed open the door so that she could face Starfire. She saw the drowsy but glad expression of the girl. "...Except for the party pat." "Right, of course!" Starfire smiled once more, guiding the fearful girl along to her room.

Raven had been clutching the blanket of her bed. It was now placed around her head and shoulders, trailing along behind heron the floor.

In the next room they passes, a certain regretful young man lay upon his bed, his hands over his eyes. He knew that sulking wasn't going to solve anything. He knew he should get some rest, for Robin was going to beat him down again, verbally. He felt utter guilt for what had happened. He even had dirty flashbacks, in which he had to pummel himself for thinking such things.

He wanted to blame the beast within. The one that had been released so long ago. It should've gone, but it came back, this endangering the girl he loved. No matter what. he had to blame himself. It was his blind love. It was his body that defiled the other's. It was his beast that went loose. No matter what, he blamed himself. The others did, too.

Robin was getting harsher and harsher by the day, forcing BeastBoy to remember non-existent memories. Starfire never gave him eye contact, nor did she ever speak to him. Cyborg tries to keep it cool, but things were just plain awkward. And as for Raven...Oh, poor sweet Raven...She was tortured every night and day by that very nightmare. She didn't want to press charges or anything, but the whole thing was going to court.

Beastboy growled in frustration, trying to hold back tears. Damn it! Why? Why does it have to e this way? Why do I have to go through all this bullshit? Why does Raven...? Why are you doing this to us...? What've we done wrong!

Sobbing quietly, Beastboy turned to the side, clutching the sheets of his bed. He tried to sleep, but to no avail.

At the crack of dawn, Starfire gently nudged the unconscious Raven to life. "Mmm?" She blinked her eyes open. "Star...?" She mumbled incomprehensibly. "You seem to have slept well this night." Starfire smiled.

Oh my God.. Raven thought. She looks so horrible...Didn't she get any sleep? Or...Is it that she's worried so much about me that she's been losing sleep watching over me?

The alien seemed the same old cheery self, speaking as innocently as possible. "Shall we go down to eat?" She asked the bird-like girl. Seeing her in a whole new light, Raven smiled softly. "Yeah, sure..."

Down at the breakfast table, there sat two members of the Titans. A small and spiky haired boy and a large, half-metal man. Around Robin, there was a huge cloud raining over his head. Apparently, he was so stressed out he'd shown it. As for Cyborg, he flipped eggs as if it were a football, humming lightly to himself.

"Good morning, my friends! Raven and I have arrived for the eating of our food!" Cried the cheerful one. "Starfire, we don't need an announcement.." Raven muttered, slightly embarrassed.

Robin managed to smile and wave, while Cyborg greeted the two with a hearty, "How y'all doin' this moring?" with a wide grin. Raven managed a small smile. "Fine."

Robin got up from his post and touched Raven's shoulder. "Are you sure you're feeling all right?" Concern filled his words. Raven sighed. "Yeah. Fine."

Cyborg turned to Robin. 'Hey, where's BB?" Robin blinked, as though the name were unrecognizable. "Aw, don't tell me you're still confinig him, are ya?" "No, no, that's over for now. I guess he just hasn't felt like getting out." The two happened to look at Raven, who reached for her tea. She tried to ignore their conversation, but every word and reminder of Beastboy filled her head. Why, oh why must they talk about him? Raven thought, bitterly. It had her freaked out enough. Did they want her to have a heart attack? Maybe...

A few hours later, a green boy snuck out from his room. He looked around, hoping his presence would be unnoticed. He crept down the hall, slowly and quietly. Why do I feel like a fugitive? He asked himself as he neared the corner. Finally, he began to calm down. Why am I acting like this? I live here! I should just calm down...

However, as fate would have it, a raven-haired girl turned the very same corner.

"Oh!" Raven gasped. She clenched her fists, tearing her eyes away from the green one. Beastboy was just as flustered as she was. In fact, he almost began to dance, waving his arms frantically with funny faces to match.

Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit...Beastboy thought. Raven thought the exact same. Why him? Why now?
