Chapter 3: On the Go!
Raven Roth sat amidst her belongings, staring at a suitcase carelessly. A few more days, and she would be a married woman.
"Mrs. Logan." Raven said, as she stared at the floor. It was a interesting name, and she liked it. Light from the window stung her eyes, and she closed the blinds hastily. Looking into the window pane, Raven could have sworn a shadow was behind her. Sometimes, Raven dreamed of the apparition. Now, she could not distinguish if the creature was a dream or whether it was truly there.
"I need this vacation." Raven sighed, as she dwelled on her memories. The memoirs haunting fingers were grabbing her, and she looked around the room blindly. Placing the remaining items into her bag, Raven hauled the suitcase out of the room. Walking into the empty living room, Raven grew nervous. Once upon a time she likedto be alone, but lately….. That shadow enjoyed hunting, and she was its prey.
"Where is everyone?" Raven asked, as a clamor came from behind. Not bothering to check what had made the sound, Raven picked up her pace. Yet, the noises seemed to gain speed as well. Walking more rapidly, Raven pulled the luggage with her powers, down the stairs. Their it was again, and this time it grew louder. Strangely, it sounded like a bunch of overexcited slugs.
"Friend Raven, are you alright?" A voice cried from behind her, and Raven jerked around. Staring at the young red head, Raven realized that the strange noises had come from Silky.
"I'm fine." Raven sighed, relief filled her trembling body. Self hatred spilled over her, and she smacked her shoulder angrily.
"You look like, you have done the seeing of a ghost!" Starfire smiled, as she petted Silky with pleasure.
"I'm okay, Star." Raven whispered, as she thought about Starfire. The young red head had guessed Raven's problem, and without even realizing it.
"Okay!" Starfire chirped, as she turned around. Galloping towards the door, Starfire soon disappeared.
"I'm so stupid! How could I lose control?" Raven growled, as she kicked the wall. Kicking the wall evenharder, Raven felt her bone shatter.
"Damn it!" Raven growled, as she healed her throbbing foot. Rushing into the garage, Raven placed her belongings in the trunk of the T-car. Sighing, she slid onto her knees. Placing her legs in front of her, Raven buried her head in her hands. No tears flowed, and she willed herself to meditate. Crossing her legs, Raven floated into the lotus position.
"Azirath, Metrion, Zinthos." Raven chanted. A few moments later, Raven was interrupted by her communicator. Bringing it up to her face, Robin's visage appeared on screen.
"It's time for dinner." Robin said, as he looked at her curiously. Stomach growling, Raven looked at the floor sadly.
"I'm not hungry." Raven whispered, looking at the communicator. Giving her a concerned look, Robin shut his communicator off. Raven was indeed hungry, but her hunger took away some of the pain in her heart. Frowning, Raven continued to mediate.
"Where's Raven?" Beast Boy questioned, as the Titans sat down to dinner. Putting soy sauce on his tofu, Beast Boy gave a unsatisfied frown.
"She wasn't hungry." Robin responded, giving Beast Boy a worried gaze. Glancing around, Beast Boy noticed the concern on everyone's face.
"She didn't eat breakfast this morning,either." Beast Boy whispered, sighing unhappily.
"I'll talk to her." Beast Boy stated, overcome with worried.
"I knew it!" Robin howled, giving Beast Boy the I-told-you-so look.
"What?" Beast Boy asked, as he picked at his dinner. Looking at him smugly, Robin prepared to give his explanation.
"After being kidnapped by Robbie; She defiantly needed therapy! I told you this!" Robin smiled, as Beast Boy growled at him.
"Five minutes ago, I bumped into Raven. She was doing the freaking out." Starfire said, as she looked at her friends. The room grew silent, and the movement of silverware was all that washeard.
"If she isn't better by the time we get back, then she goes to Dr. Macho." Robin stated, as he continued eating. Looking ready to protest, Beast Boy glared at Robin with ruefulness. Dr. Macho was the best doctor in Jump City, but Beast Boy hoped it wouldn't come to that. Raven was prideful, and being sent to therapy would destroy her. The door to the living room opened, and Raven stepped in. Her face was red, and fear was written on her eye balls. Collapsing onto the floor, Raven felt Beast Boy's strong arms wrap around her.
"Are you okay?" Beast Boy asked, his voice overflowing with worry. Feeling slightly better, Raven regained her balance.
"I'm ecstatic." Raven grumbled, as she rushed past them. Raven returned to her room quickly.
"Your right, I guess….. Raven does need help." Beast Boy sighed, not looking directly at Robin.
"I'm not hungry." Beast Boy whispered, pushing his plate away. Deciding to check on Raven, Beast Boy waltzed down the hallway. Entering their bedroom, Beast Boy realized that the room was empty. He could hear the sound of vomiting in the distance, and he gave a discontented smile. A few moments later, Raven entered the room.
"Raven…. Why did you collapse?" Beast Boy questioned, as he led the limping Raven to the bed.
"No reason." Raven whispered, as she laid down. Feeling slightly light headed, Raven closed her eyes. Beast Boy's thoughts were upon her, making her feel uncomfortable.
"You haven't eaten." Beast Boy said, as he wrapped his arms around her. Bones stuck out of Raven's body, and Beast Boy snuggled her closer.
"I'm not hungry." Raven excused, as she wrapped her arms around herself. Hoping the trip would be good for her, Raven looked at thetickets for the trip,monotonously.
The next day…..
"I'm so excited" Beast Boy bounced, as they clambered into the car. Sitting in peace, Raven felt herself getting wound up.
"Aren't you excited, Rae! We're getting married." Beast Boy hollered, as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder. Smiling, Raven glanced outside of the car. Images flew past her, and she rolled down the window. The sunshine made lines on her lap, and she couldn't help smiling. It was a beautiful day.
"Yeah." Raven whispered, as she leaned closer to him. Her stomach let out a gigantic moan, causing everyone to look at her.
"What?" Raven snapped, as her stomach rumbled again.
"You should eat more, girl." Cyborg said, as he pulled the car onto the highway. Ignoring the other Titans, Raven continued to look outside. Air blew in her face, and happiness gripped her stomach. She was finally getting away from the shadow.
"I'll try to eat more." Raven said, as she looked at Beast Boy happily. Squeezing her shoulder happily, Beast Boy smiled broadly.
"I knew this trip would be good for you!" Beast Boy said, as he bounced upwards.
"We're here." Cyborg said, as they pulled into a parking lot. Glancing forward, their was only one boat in the dock. The remaining boat was tiny, and it looked like a small breeze would kill it. Wood planks were loose on the deck, and the paint was chipped.
"Whatis the boat number?" Cyborg asked, as he looked around. Placing his hands in his pockets, Beast Boy scavenged the tickets.
"4B." Beast Boy said, pointing towards the rickety boat. The sun disappeared, and the earth was overcast. Not only that, but rain began to fall. A strange fog seemed to surround the boat, and Raven's heart was screaming a warning. 'This isn't right,' Raven though. Her legs refused to move, and Raven refused to get out of the car.
"What's the matter?" Beast boy asked, as he looked at the petrified Raven.
"There is something wrong with that boat!" Raven whispered, as she looked at it. The eerie mist was getting stronger, and fog engulfed the area.
"It's small, but it works!" Beast Boy said, as he tried to pull Raven out of the boat. Darkness seemed to overcome everything, and her heart continued to holler.Her heartspounding growing louder and louder,asshe fought him. The water was dark, and grew continuously choppier.
"Strange weather." Cyborg commented, as he pulled their things out of the car.
"I don't think we should go!" Raven cried, as she planted her feet. Still pulling, Beast Boy felt sweat roll down his forehead.
"The boat is a little smaller, then I expected." Robin said, scratching the back of his head haughtily.
"Maybe, Raven is right. It does't look unsafe." Robin stated, looking at Beast Boy earnestly.
"We only have to spend, one day on the boat! Tomorrow night, we'll be at the islands anyway." Beast Boy said, as he finally got Raven out of the car.
"There is something, terribly wrong! I can feel it!" Raven said, as she shifted position. 'Does anyone else see the boat's aura,' Raven wondered.
"It's not just the boat! There is something on the boat! It's not human!" Raven hollered, as Beast Boy pulled her across the ground.
"Come on! We have got to go! We're going to get married!" Beast Boy said, as he pulled Raven onto the boat. They were soon greeted by a man, his face looked weathered by time.
"My name is, Charlie." The man hissed, as he pulled their luggage aboard the ship. Chills went down her spine, and Raven knew that they had made a terrible mistake. They were not going to get out of this alive.
