(Chapter 5 and stuff..... in confusing format!)

'Its cold...." Raven thought as she pulled her sweatshirt tighter around her "I should have brought a coat." She heaved her bag off of her shoulder and sat for a moment. "I wonder if they know I'm gone......"

Meanwhile at the Tower:

"Hey, Star. Where's Ray?" Aqualad asked and popped open a soda.

"Raven said that she does not wish to par take in the festivities." Star fire answered.

The party that they had been planning had finally come. The titans east and west and even some that weren't on teams came. It was great and load and fun. No one had even notice Raven slip out the back door earlier, they were to busy dancing and talking.

Raven stood up again. No time to waste, she wanted to be out of the city by tomorrow. She didn't know where she was going. She couldn't go home and she didn't want to stay here. Maybe she'd run away to Gotham... She had enough money for the train fair.

"Hey Raven." Beast Boy knocked on her door with his free hand. "Being you won't come down I brought the party to you." He was carrying two sodas and a bag of chips. He banged on the door again. It opened.

He stepped inside "Ray.....?" He had expected to see her sitting there waiting for him. No such luck. He saw a note on Raven's bed. He picked it up and fumbled to open it with one hand.

'Dear Friends,

By the time you read this I'll be gone. I can't stay here, in the tower, any longer. I'm sorry. I don't want any of you to come after me, that goes for all of you. Please don't try to find me. Don't be upset, I'll be fine and I hope the same for you.

-Raven'

He dropped the food and ran to the roof. He couldn't see any sign of her. He quickly morphed into a bird and flew into the night, the note clenched in his beak.

It had been so long since raven had dressed this way. She felt odd in jeans and a T-shirt. It would take some getting used to. She held a train ticket in her hand. She sat on a bench with her bag beside her, The station was empty. The people who were there looked at her strangely, why would a young girl be taking the mid-night train to Gotham City all alone? It made no sense to her either. Her life made no sense to her, why did she want to run away from the people who cared about her, the people she loved.

Beast Boy appeared the second the train did. Raven didn't notice him as he ran out of breath onto the platform. She stepped toward the train her bag over her shoulder. Just as she placed one foot on the train she could feel a gloved hand on her arm. She swung around to see Beast Boy gasping for air, his hair a mess and red in the face.

"...Ray...." he said "Wait...."

"For what?" Raven said and shook her hand free of his "Wait for you to make me feel sorry and come back to the tower?" she climbed aboard the train.

From her seat next to the window she could see Beast Boy in utter shock that she was gone. She could she a tear running down his green cheek. She didn't care, he would find some cute blond to pick up his pieces no doubt. She couldn't help her thoughts being angry. She'd rather be angry then sorry, if she felt sorry she'd probably get off at the next stop and fly back to his waiting arms. That would mean that he had won and she had lost, so she thought bitter thoughts until they were far from the station.

"Raven...." Beast Boy said to himself as he sat at the train station "Why?...." He got up, sitting there wouldn't solve anything. He didn't want to go home just yet, he didn't want to tell the others the news that he could barley understand him self. He went into the coffee shop that Raven had frequented. He sat down at a small table and his mind was flooded with memories and questions that he couldn't answer. He seemed to fit in among the gloomy faces, none of them brought him any comfort, they just looked at him as if to say join the club.

Raven hugged her bag on her lap. 'We must be half way to Gotham by now...'she thought and closed her eyes, to fly back now would take a lot of time and energy, she probably wouldn't make it. She had won. Before she could fall asleep she felt a pain in the pit of her stomach. Something wasn't right, some one was hurt. ...... 'Gar!' she thought and grabbed her bag as they pulled into the station. She ran through the open doors almost knocking down the worker.

(A cliff hanger ending, yay! I'll post the next chapter soon.)
