Chapter 18: Eternal suffering!

Karen, Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire approached the attic hesitantly. The creaks echoed across the floor, forcing the Titan's to tiptoe across the floor. The door lay ahead of them, the silver handle upon the door was catcalling the group. Without hesitation, Karen through the door open. The chill inside of the attic was unnerving, but Karen seemed unfazed.

"Obviously, you haven't been up here for awhile." Karen said, running her feet across the dust floor. A pit of filth engulfed them, making the group cough and sniffle. Starfire shook her head in protest, as a supersonic sneeze began to energize her stomach. Throwing back her head, Starfire released aexplosion of energy that attacked the whole room. Some parts of the floor began to crumble; however, much of the attic was still unharmed.

"Sorry." Starfire whimpered, wiping her exposed nostril. Chuckling, Karen grasped the instructurmente within her arms. The instructurmente was near impossible to find, and destroying the vase would only bring trouble. Robbie's current place of rest was safe, so they didn't have to chase a rogue ghost around Titan's Tower.

"It's fine. Both, the instructurmente and Robbie's hiding place remain intact." Karen said, nearing the cupboard. The dust kissed the wooden surface, giving the storeroom a fluffy appearance.

"Alright." Karen whispered, releasing the instructurmente upon the wooden object. A blinding flash of gold, overwhelmed the object. A soft flailing could be heard within the vase like item. Smiling, Karen recollected the instructurmente.

"Congratulations! Robbie is now offically trapped for all eternity!" Karen smirked, stroking the top of the instructurmente.

"Please, wake up." Beast Boy whimpered, softly stroking Raven's hand. The beeping of the respirator echoed through the room, agitating Beast Boy's dejected mood. He watched a machine show Raven's rising and falling heart rate. Staring at Raven's pale facial featured, he pulled her disembodied hair behind her ear. Strands of lavender drizzled upon the pillow, making Raven look like Sleeping Beauty. But, Beast Boy knew that a kiss would not awaken Raven from her everlasting slumber. Feeling pain grope his heart, Beast Boy turned his face away from the sleeping Princess.

"Beast Boy." Jerking around, Beast Boy stared at Raven's dead to the world body. Nothing had changed; the heart monitor remained steady, her breathing was regular, and her face still was untouched by time. There was no way that Raven could have called out his name. 'It must be my imagination,' Beast Boy thought.

"Hey, B.B. We managed to catch that Robbie fellow! Are you alright; you look slightly greener than usual?" Karen questioned, walking into the room. Glancing at hislong hairedfriend, Beast Boy did not respond for several moments. He just stared upon the floor. It was amazing how impeccable a spot on the the floor could be, when you were overcome with the utmost unhappiness.

"No, I am not okay! My wife is in a freaking coma for Christ's sake!" Beast Boy snapped, making Karen jump backwards several feet. Glaring at the other Titan's, Beast Boy returned his attention back to Raven. Her heart rate seemed to increase in pace, and Beast Boy knew that he had to calm down. The less stress felt by Raven, the sooner she would awaken.

"Sorry." Karen said, blushing slightly. Frowning, Beast Boy gave a depressed sigh. Everything was falling apart. He hadn't mean to snap, but Raven was damaged. She was his main priority at the moment, and they were distracting him from the beautiful goddess.

"No. Don't be sorry; I'm just a little stressed." Beast Boy whispered, returning his gaze back to Raven. "What were you saying, about Robbie?"

"We caught him; we caught Robbie." Karen whispered, cuddling the instructurmente in her arms. Whatever Karen was holding, appeared to be a normal vase. There was nothing unusual about it's painted exterior, shape, or curves. It was so incredibly average. There was no way something like that, could hold something so incredibly evil.

"What?" Beast Boy questioned, studying Karen curiously. Hope filled his torso. Hopefully, Raven would never have to deal with the evil soul ever again. Some strange noises exited from the top of the vase's lips, making Beast Boy's inquisitiveness grow.

"Robbie is in here; This is not a ordinary vase, it's a instructurmente. I managed to trap Robbie inside of it. Just make sure that nobody breaks the vase, or Robbie will escape." Karen said, handing Robbie's trapped soul to Beast Boy. Carefully fingering the plain vase, Beast Boy looked it over with interest. Their were figures painted upon the instructurmente. Brown deer were splashed upon the bottom of the vase, while the top was overcome with careless squiggles. It was incredibly simple, but still so incredibly attractive and stunning.

"Thank you." Beast Boy whispered, grasping the vase tightly. Knowing that his carelessness could affect everything around him, the green Titan did not trust himself with the object. Wanting to return to Raven's empty bedside, Beast Boy gave a woeful glance at his masked leader. "Robin, will you put this in my room?"

"Sure." Robin whispered, grabbing the ghostly item. Smiling, the other Titans filed out of the room. Staring at the door, Beast boy let out another disheartened groan. Somehow, even the imprisonment of Robbie could not make him happy. The silence welcomed him, and allowed him to grieve in peace.

"Beast Boy." Turning around, Beast Boy glanced at Raven's statistics. Everything was once again, completely and utterly normal. Beads of perspiration were upon Raven's forehead, running down Raven's facial features. However; this was not out of ordinary. Raven had taken to sweating, whenever she was overcome with severe nightmares.

"Rae." Beast boy sighed, pushing the top strands of Raven's hair backwards. Placing his hand against Raven's forehead, Beast Boy noticed that Raven had gained a fever. Steadying himself, the green man wet a rag with cold water. The icy chill of the damp rag, sent shivers down his green skin.

"Here you are." Beast Boy whispered. Gently, he dumped the cold washcloth against Raven's flesh. The purple haired girl immediately twitched, quickly attracting Beast Boy's attention. A small trembled ran through Raven's chest.

"Beast Boy." Raven groaned, her face showing severe pain. Gasping in utter shock, Beast Boy nearly engulfed Raven in a warm hug. Knowing that even a little squeeze could harm his lover, he got rid of his urge to grasp Raven tightly. Instead he grasped on to Raven's hand, kissing it maniacally. A swarm of memories buzzed in her brain, but Raven fought them away. Cold; it was very chilly.

"Rae, your're alright." Beast Boy whimpered, grasping onto her hand gently. Weakly, Raven pulled herself out of the hospital bed. She imperceptibly eased herself over to Beast Boy, and embraced him softly. Hesitantly, Beast Boy wrapped his arms around Raven's back. Eyes sparkling like crazy, Beast Boy gently eased his lips over Raven's. A feeling of warmth spread inside of Raven's stomach, erasing all the mishaps of the world. Momentarily, she dwelled inside of paradise.

"I'm so glad, your're okay." Beast Boy whispered, nuzzling Raven's hair. Flinching, Raven nearly pulled away from Beast Boy's touch. Seeing Raven's discomfort, he pulled away from Raven momentarily.

"You are okay, aren't you?" Beast Boy questioned, eyeing Raven's frailty's ever-so-carefully. All the damage caused by the nail's had been erased, due to Raven's healing power's. Sighing, Raven gently eased her fingers through Beast Boy's hair. Being near Beast Boy made her feel safe, as if nothing could ever harm her. It was pure, one hundred percent bliss.

"I'm alright, I just need a little time to heal." Raven muttered, slowly returning herself to the hospital bed. The cool sheets engulfed Raven's body, allowing her to get comfortable. The snow white blanket was tainted with droplets of sweat, but Raven couldn't have cared less.

"Raven, do you hate me now?" Beast Boy asked, his voice getting shaky. Everything depended on her answer, a ingle word could tear Beast Boy's world apart. Eye's softening, Raven gave Beast Boy a look of the utmost concern. It was obvious that she wasn't the only one, suffering from the incident.

"Don't be ridicules, Beast Boy. I don't hate you!" Raven snapped, glaring at Beast Boy. It was easy to see his stirring guilt within his soul; thus, Raven's sympathetic side began to shine through. "Why would I hate you?"

"I didn't think, you could ever look at me the same way. Every time you look at me, it will bring back the memories." Beast Boy whimpered, clutching onto Raven's hand. Sighing, Raven gently squeezed Beast Boy's hand.

"It wasn't your fault, Beast Boy." Raven whispered, softly smiling at him. The crisp night air was cool and comfortable; it was the kind of night that made you want to sing. The stars blared through the windowpane, casting formations upon the floor.

"I feel like, I should have done something! I could have helped you!" Beast Boy cried, the sparkle in his eyes disappearing. Facing Beast Boy directly, Raven stared into Beast Boy's eye's. There was so much suffering inside of those jade orbs.

"There was nothing that, could have been done! Now are you going to join me in here, or am I going to freeze to death?" Raven questioned, patting the bed absentmindedly. Smiling, Beast Boy climbed into the bed next to Raven. Wrapping his arms around Raven's midriff, Beast Boy exhaled a contented sigh.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."
