A/N: I HATE SCHOOL! Right after vacation all the teachers swamped me with homework. Oh well, only like 4 more years of school and then college. I am tired, but I am writing anyway. SO READ!
Disclaimer: No, I don't own the Teen Titans. Is it just me or does orange juice sound really good right now? Hmm... whatever.
Chapter Eleven: Run Away
Raven had teleported herself into her room. Tears steadily fell down her cheeks and she didn't even care. Stuffing things into a medium sized suitcase on her bed, she moved quickly. Maybe if she worked fast her guilt wouldn't catch up to her; she knew that wasn't true, but she tried her best to believe it. Only the necessities were packed, all the things she would miss later.
Once she felt she had everything she needed and wanted, she levitated two corked bottles filled with white powder. She used her powers to uncork the bottles and poured their contents on the floor to make a perfect circle. Raven lifted the heavy suitcase and set it down inside the white circle. Then, Raven sat down cross-legged next to her luggage in the ring. She began to recite the incantation from memory, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos... Carazon Rakaasha Endere... Vaserix Enderien Azarath... Azarath, Azarath!" White energy filled her eyes and began to pour out and the circle glowed white too. A fierce wind blew inside the magical ring. Raven began to levitate and then was sucked up into a swirling portal. The room became deathly silent and all that remained where she had been sitting was the white sand circle. The luggage was no longer in the circle and Raven was no where to be seen.
Up on the roof Beast Boy still sat, his legs once again dangling off the edge. The mighty tower stood high above Jump City and from the roof you could see the whole city. Beast Boy loved to watch the city at night, when the sun set a whole new city awoke. It became lit up with different colored lights and all of the nightwalkers and insomniacs came out to party once darkness claimed the sky.
Sometimes Beast Boy found himself longing to be normal, to be able to go to school and parties. Then he would realize how good he had everything: he had friends, super powers, a girlfriend, all the pizza he could eat, and he got to save people every day. Who wants to be normal, when they could be super?
Beast Boy was still shocked at what Raven had said to him before she ran away. Why did Raven think his words weren't sincere? He did love her, more than he could say, more than anyone he had ever known. It had taken him a long time to realize how much he liked her, but now he knew that he needed her. Could it ever be possible for her to love him back? Maybe she already felt the same way for him, maybe she was just afraid of something. Right now Beast Boy felt more confused than he ever had before. He decided he would give Raven some time to think, he knew that was what she needed now.
Then Beast Boy remembered Terra, the girl he had pledged his love to. "God! What am I going to do now? I don't truly love Terra, I love Raven. Raven means more to me than Terra ever will," he whispered to himself. "Will Raven ever love me back? If she doesn't love me, why should I break up with Terra?" One lonesome tear slid down his green cheek. The tear was quickly wiped from his skin and he stood up.
Mournfully Beast Boy walked down the stairs, slumped over. The doors swished as he dragged his body into the main room ad plopped himself down on the horseshoe shaped couch next to Terra.
"Where have you been?" Terra asked. There was no response, Beast Boy just stared glumly out the large window in front of the couch. "What's wrong B.B.?" she didn't wait for a response and began kissing the side of his face. Two gloved hands lightly grabbed both of Terra's shoulders and gently pushed her off of him. Beast Boy turned and looked Terra directly in the eyes, his expression was the most serious Terra had ever seen him.
"Not now," he said softly in a sad tone. Removing his hands from her shoulders, he stood up and walked around the ridiculously large couch.
"Beast Boy!" Terra called after him. The hydraulic doors shut behind him. The blonde girl stood and was about to follow her boyfriend, when a voice came from the other side of the couch.
"I think he needs sometime alone, to clear his head," came Robin's young, but wise voice. He had one leg crossed on top of the other and was holding a large newspaper in front of his face.
"When did you come in?" Terra asked suspiciously.
"I was sitting here when you walked in, awhile ago," Robin announced cooly.
"Oh... Well why do you think you know what Beast Boy needs?" Robin closed the newspaper and folded it neatly, setting it down on his lap before answering. He moved his head so it appeared he was looking up at her, with his mask there was no sure way of knowing if he truly was.
"Well, I've known Beast Boy longer than you have and I know that sometimes he needs his space." Terra crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at Robin.
"Okay, I won't bother him," she said politely with a fake smile. She reminded herself not to get into a fight with her leader, she didn't plan on getting kicked off the team. Terra walked out of the room leaving the Robin alone in the main room.
Once Terra was in the hall her smile rapidly vanished and was replaced with an expression of anger. The earth mover strolled aimlessly down the halls. Terra happened to walk past Raven's room, she heard shuffling on the other side of the door. The evil girl ran over and pressed her ear against the cold steel of the door.
Her ears picked up the faint sound of someone crying. A wicked smile appeared on Terra's face and she listened harder. After a moment the shuffling ceased, then Terra could here Raven reciting her mantra, which sounded longer than usual. Suddenly there was a sound like a tornado, it lasted a few seconds. Then, there was complete silence, which made Terra feel uneasy. Pressing against the door, Terra listened harder, but heard nothing.
The sudden silence perplexed Terra, she cracked the door open a slit. Pressing her eye up to the opening, she looked in. Her eye didn't detect any movement inside the dark room. So, she slid the door open a little further, to see in better. Inside the room was empty, Terra's eyes first spotted the circle on the floor. Next, her eyes landed on the sheet of paper lying on the edge of the bed, Terra immediately knew what it was. Her look of confusion turned to one of self-satisfaction. Slasher would be happy to here that Terra had done it, she had chased away the demon. The demon who had threatened to steal her Garfield from her was now gone. Terra knew that Raven would never dare return.

DreamerGir102: I will try not to leave you hanging to long, but school is rather time consuming.
I feel awfully random: School does suck, I hate all of those jerks who pick on kids like me. School has traumatized me tremendously.
Yokie: Who doesn't like sugar? Well except for the people allergic to sugar.
FAINTbattleCRY: Yeah, the blood loss made her feel dizzy, but if she lost even more she would have passed out and then died. Get all of your friends, it will take an army to rule this world.
Monitor Supreme: I might write a chapter about Slasher, but first I need top figure out his motives and powers and what not. He has to be perfect.

Lil-c-girl2218: There is no such thing as "too much sugar." I am glad you like my Starfire, she is a hard character to write for.
WickedWitchoftheSE: We shall see (evil laughter), if she does, she might not be the only one to die painfully. But thats all I am gonna say.
