AN: I have a request… feel free to disregard it if you wish, but I have a request nonetheless… if you review (and I know not all of you do), why not try telling me what you think will happen? I'm very curious what hoshi-ko88 thinks, as well as anyone else willing to tell me… and who knows? I might even take it into consideration… oh, and to settle just a little confusion… yes, BB and Raven's dreams are related, but they aren't the same.
Meditation Blues
Raven lowered her gaze in embarrassment. Those were supposed to be nice, conversation starting words? They were supposed to cover up anything she may know? They were supposed to-
"Hey Rave'!" she was snapped back to the world of the living as he spoke, and she looked at him again. He seemed to of calmed down, a sheepish smile on his lips and a careless look in his eyes. "Yeah... Star thinks I've grown too… hey! I think I'm taller than you now!"
She rolled her eyes, his previous mutterings out of her mind as she stepped up to him. She carefully looked up at him with a frown. "Darn… I think you might be right…"
"R-Rave?" he stuttered again; she was surprised when she saw the blush on his cheeks.
"Yes?" she asked, looking into his eyes… she'd never realized how many hues of green were in them.
Hold up… she thought to herself. Since when have I been close enough to-
"I never took you as the kind of person to invade someone's personal space," Beast Boy said, once again mastering his stutter.
"That's the second time in thirty seconds that you've interrupted my train of thought," she glared before returning to her spot before he had arrived. She was here to meditate, nothing else.
"You always think!" he whined, following her. He sat on the edge of the roof as she suspended herself in the air. "Why don't you just hang out with everyone instead of coming up here? Do you hate our company that much?"
"Is that why you're up here?" Raven challenged. She grinned to herself when he didn't answer… it was always satisfactory when she won a battle of wits. Then she remembered his words.
'…the problem lying in the fact that he was here, outside of my dreams…'
'Why were you outside of my dreams?'
'Will you invade my real life?'
"Who were you talking about anyway?" she asked as she started her mantra in head, willing her powers into control.
The sudden feeling of being trapped bombarded her senses, confusing her; she clutched at her skull, her empathic powers never welcome to her. Blackness overcame her vision as she felt herself fall, but she didn't bother with that… she just needed to get this feeling out of her head.
As her heat rate stilled to normal and her vision started to come back, she thought she saw a shadow with violet eyes fly across her sight… violet eyes that soon turned green as she looked up into the eyes of Beast Boy yet again today.
"Are you alright?" he asked, rubbing her shoulder. It was then she realized where exactly she had fallen: In his lap.
"I'm fine," she muttered, pulling herself to a stand. He looked up at her with puppy dog eyes, big droopy ears and a sad tail. "Stop begging."
"Works on Star," the changeling shrugged, returning to his normal state. Raven rolled her eyes and returned to her lotus position, fully intent on him leaving her alone for her meditation…
He didn't leave.
"If your going to stay," she hissed under her breathe, her mantra words almost forming on her lips. "Then you have to answer my question… and also tell me why the hell you're feeling trapped enough to make me loose concentration."
"The Mighty Raven lost her concentration?" he joked; the feeling of being trapped returned, but she was ready this time. Shutting her eyes for a moment, she focused on clearing her head before she glared at him.
"You felt it again," she shot back. "Now tell me why."
"That sounded mighty commanding," he chuckled, leaning back on his hands.
"Because you don't have a choice," she replied. "Tell me, now."
"Why do you care?" Beast Boy looked up at her, wagging his eyebrows.
"Because it makes me loose my concentration!" the demon-girl snapped. A black glow started to glow around them, and his eyes widened in fear. He shuddered as he looked in her eyes, and she realized in horror that she had not her normal two, lavender ones, but crimson ones.
Eyes of blood.
Eyes of a demon.
For what seemed like the hundredth time so far, she looked away from him at the horizon. She leveled her breathing and focused on her heart rate, muttering, 'Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos' to herself.
When she was satisfied with herself, she stood herself up on the roof. She turned to glare at Beast Boy again for making her loose control… but he wasn't there.
Where did he go? She wondered. She felt almost… alone, here on the roof by herself. Shaking the feeling off, she melted into the shadows, reappearing moments later in her room. With a sigh she summoned a book to herself, only to collapse in a heap on her bed. I'll meditate in here… after a little reading.
