A/N-Hello! Wow, it has been way too long since I last updated this fic, I am so sorry about that. I've been busy since school started, I don't have time anymore, I'm really sorry. So anyway, here's the next chapter. It'll probably be a shorter one, sorry, but atleast I'm updating.
Chapter 11-Escaping Meridian (And Discovering New Mysteries)
W.i.t.c.h.
"How much longer till we can get out of this creepy place?" Beast Boy asked for the millionth time.
"You sound like my brother when we go on long car rides!" Irma snapped, "'Cept your voice is a lot more annoying"
"Don't say anything Raven", Cyborg said. Raven glared at him for a second, but held her tongue, to everyones' great relief. The last thing they needed when they were trying to escape was two arguing friends.
"Does this look familiar to anyone, or is it just me?" Robin asked sudddenly, looking around.
"Yes!" Will exclaimed, "We've been in one big circle so far! Phobos has to know we're here, it's kind of obvious, he must have done something! Either way, we're never gonna get out at this rate…"
Raven shot Will a weird look, and for a second, Will couldn't help but me swayed by the dark girls glare. Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg pratically wore their expressions on their sleeves, but Raven was more of a mystery to all of them. Will got the feeling the Titans didn't even know much about her. To be completely honest, Raven kind of scared Will.
"Uh, anyway", Will said quickly, braking eye contact with the girl, "We still need to figure out a way out of here…"
The group continued on, all alert and ready if there was any trouble. Irma caught up to Will as they were walking, and said in a quiet voice, "Am I the only one that thinks Raven is just a tad creepy?"
"No", Will said with a sigh, "There's something about her I seriously don't like, but I suppose, if the other Titans trust her-"
"Will, I dunno if you've actually seen the Titans", Irma said, "But they aren't exactly normal!"
"Neither are we", Will pointed out.
"Okay, okay, you've got me", Irma said, "Still, something 'bout this Raven girl I seriously don't like…"
Irma let her words sort of fizzle out, and the coversation was dropped. As they continued trying to figure out this maze that was the castle, Will couldn't help but think about what Irma said. She thought all the Titans had a few screws loose, but there was definetly something different about Raven. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something about her made her different, like the odd one out in the group. Will could definetly relate to that. Her friends, and fellow guaridans, got nice, normal powers, while she was stuck with being the keeper of some ancient crystal, that definelty set her apart from the others. Still, she had a feeling that wasn't it…

"We're lost, aren't we?" Beast Boy asked, coming to a halt, "We've been by here before, we're definetly lost…"
"He's actually making sense", Raven said with mock thoughtfulness, "Should we be worried?"
"That's it!" Beast Boy snapped, whirling around to face his so-called friend, "I have had it with you-"
"Beast Boy!" Robin snapped, stepping between the changeling and the dark girl, "That's enough! Just keep going, all right, talk about it later!"
But as Raven started to walk away, Robin grabbed her arm. "You could be a little nicer you know", he told her, glaring at her from behind his mask, "If you're trying to get him mad, it's working, so why don't you just stop while you're ahead?"
Raven yanked he arm out of her leaders grip, and walked away with out saying anything. She knew he was right. She had been giving Beast Boy a lot of grief since they had arrived in Heatherfield, and she knew that, but something about this whole thing, from the guaridans to Meridian itself, made her feel uneasy. She knew she had been taking it out on Beast Boy, and finally decided to try and stop. She closed her eyes and try to clear out her thoughts. The last thing she wanted was to start a real fight. That would be bad.
Beast Boy was fuming. He was so completely sick and tired of Raven giving him a hard time, making fun of him, calling him names, snapping at him, it was all just way too annoying! Where does she get off saying those things to me anyway? He thought angrily, What gives her the right? Sure Cyborg makes fun of me all the time, but at least he's normally kidding. Sometimes I feel like Raven is serious about what she says…
Beast Boy sighed and shook his head. He was still mad at Raven, but they did have bigger problems right then. They were stuck in some other dimension, with absolutely no clue how to even get out of this castle they were in, and to top that, him and Raven were fighting. This just so could not have gotten any worse.
By the next chapter, Beast Boy is so gonna eat those words. Again, sorry for the incredibly long wait on the update, I'll try and keep up next for next time. Review!
