A/N: Well, here is another chapter. Chapter titles are impossible for me to come up with. Read at your own risk.

Disclaimer: That stupid cricket lied, wishing upon a star doesn't work, so I still don't own the Teen Titans.

Chapter Twelve: A Devastating Note
Terra didn't even bother to read the note, she already knew exactly what it said. It would say something like: I am sorry, but I had to leave. I had no choice. The run away notes were all the same. It would be more fun to see how long it took them to find she was gone, so Terra decided not to tell them. This would be very amusing, Terra figured it would probably be about 2 weeks before they were even suspicious. When she went missing for a week no one seemed the least bit concerned.

Terra gently slid Raven's door shut quietly and strolled off happily. She did as Robin had told and let Beast Boy have some space, for now. The halls were silent except for the tapping of Terra's shoes on the hard floor as she traveled down the hall towards her room. Once again the chilling shadow stood at Terra's window.

"You can be quite vicious, Terra," his voice sent tingles up her spine and she tried her best not to shiver.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?"

"Coming from me? Yes, it would be. I didn't think you could actually get to that girl. She is weaker than she tries to seem. Terra, you would make an excellent partner."

"I am not looking for a partnership, I just wanted to get rid off Raven. I did my part of the deal, so why haven't you left yet."

"That is just it, Terra. You didn't do your part of the deal. Don't you see, she will come back. Her leave is only temporary. Your friends will do every thing they can to bring her back, just like they did for you. Even if they don't bring her back, she will come back on her own. She can't stay away from her friends forever."

"So, what are you suggesting I do?"

"You must exterminate the girl and destroy anyone who gets in your way." A small gasp escaped Terra's lips.

"I won't hurt my friends."

"You and I are so very alike, Terra. We have no morales, we have no friends, we only look out for ourselves. We are stronger than everyone else because we have nothing to cloud our judgement. We are ruthless, we are warriors, we are here to do what we like. Terra, there are two kinds of people in this world: there are people like us and people like them. You will never get what you want if you are like them, but on our path you can have everything. So Terra, what will it be? Will you be one of the heroes, who do things because they are right, even if it makes them unhappy? Or are you one of the strong, the people who have no regrets and destroy those who torment them?" he paused giving her time to process his words.

"Are you going to be pushed around your whole life or are you going to push back? If they try to get in your way, they are not your friends, they are hers. You know what you want, so take. Have no regrets. I already know your decision, but I will give you time to make it yourself. I will be seeing you soon," just like before the silhouette vanished from the window.

Terra was shocked at his words. She stood in the same spot for several minutes, considering what he said, and slightly afraid to move. Part of her already knew what decision she was going to make, but the other part wouldn't accept it. Finally, she decided she was going to try and forget about it for now, she would act like nothing had happened.

After Beast Boy had stormed out of the main room, he had walked back to his room. There he sat slouched on his bunk bed grieving the lose of the girl he loved. Suddenly he realized, "She isn't gone so my am I moping around here?" He jumped off the tall bed and landed gracefully onto his feet. "I have to convince her! I can't give up so easily," he announced out loud. He jogged out of his room and down the hall towards his destination.

Beast boy ran straight to Raven's door and tapped his knuckles on the metal surface. There was no reply, but he figured she was probably ignoring him. Once again he knocked, but this time didn't wait for a response. "Raven, please, I just want to talk," he spoke through the door. Again, there was no response. After a moment of silence he spoke again, "I'm sorry Rae. Come on please talk to me." Once more, there was still no reply. "Hello? Raven? I am coming in, okay?" He slid the door open slowly and peered inside the sorceress's room.

The room was quieter than usual, although it was never loud, but usuall there was the sound of a book's pages turning. Like Terra had, Beast Boy noticed the circle on the floor first. The ring was like nothing he had seen, well it was just a ring, but he had no idea what it meant. Next, his eyes scanned the room for a clue to where Raven was. Then his eyes landed on the note upon her bed. He ran desperately for the note, praying the note wasn't what his mind was telling him it was. With grey gloved hands he picked up the note, his emerald eyes frantically searched the neat handwriting. The note read:

Dear Titans,

I couldn't stay any longer. I couldn't live this lie forever. I am no hero. I will always be evil, no matter how many people I save, or how many criminals I stop. I don't deserve such great friends. You guys were always there for me, I am sorry I can't be there for you. The Titans no longer need me. Please forgive me for leaving you, but I felt I had no choice.

Starfir, you were my best friend, you are very bright, and I hope you are welcomed by earth. Robin: you are an excellent leader and friend, you were always there to talk to when things got bad, just don't push anyone too hard. Cyborg: you were always like my big brother, I know you would do anything to protect us, watch out for them and be strong. Beast Boy: I may have constantly knocked you down, but that was just my way of hiding my feelings and controlling my emotions. You were always there to cheer me up, you never give up, that is one of the best things about you, Beast Boy. Terra: I guess you are my official replacement. I know we never seemed to get along, but now that I am gone you have to take the team seriously, they can't handle another betrayal.

Robin and Starfire: just get together already, it is painful to watch you two constantly flirt. Beast Boy and Terra: I hope you two are happy together. And Cyborg: you will find the right girl soon.

I will miss you all and I will never forget the Titans. I am sorry that I didn't say goodbye in person, but I couldn't handle that. Goodbye, forever.

Love,

Raven

Beast Boy's prayers went unanswered. The world came crumbling down around Beast Boy as he collapsed onto his knees. He cried into his handsfor several minutes inside Raven's room. All hope was lost, he had no idea where she was. The only clues he had to her whereabouts were the white sand on the floor and the note.

After about five minutes Beast Boy's crying had subsided. He hadn't cried like that since his parents had died. He now felt lightheaded and dizzy. It took him awhile to calm his breathing. His crying probably would have continued if he was not so dehydrated. His eyes stung and he rubbed them fiercely, which caused them to sting worse. Sighing loudly, Beast Boy allowed himself to fall onto his side from sitting on his knees.

"Why would she leave us- leave me? I don't think I can live without her," he whimpered. "Raven, where are you?" How was he ever going find her? He didn't know how to break the news to the others, he had to tell them soon so they could start their search. The changeling lied on the soft carpet of Raven's room for a couple more minutes. Telling his friends about Raven would be one of the hardest things he had ever done.

In the main room Cyborg and Robin were playing video games on the gigantic screen television, while Starfire watched in fascination. No one had seen Terra after her chat with Robin. Suddenly, Beast Boy came bursting through the doors waving a white letter above his head.

"What is it Beast Boy?" Robin asked, standing up and getting ready to fight. Beast Boy looked terrible, he was paler than usual and appeared completely exhausted.

"Raven," Beast Boy whispered as he handed the note to Robin. Robin ripped the note out of Beast Boy's hand read it quickly. His masked eyes opened as wide as they could and his arms fell to his sides, almost dropping the letter.

"What is it, Robin?" Starfire asked, her voice flooding with concern. Cyborg tore the paper from Robin's limp hand. Starfire read the note over Cyborg's shoulder. She gasped loudly and Cyborg's jaw dropped open slightly.

"No," the robotic man whispered. Beast Boy started to cry and so did Starfire. Starfire grabbed Beast Boy into a comforting embrace and they cried on each other's shoulder. Robin fell back onto the couch paralyzed with shock. Cyborg didn't want to believe this, but he knew it was happening. He comfortingly patted Robin on the back, like Raven said, he had to be the strong one.

All of the Titans had no idea what to do, they all just stayed where they had been for a long time. "Why would she do this? This isn't like her," Cyborg broke the silence. "There has to be some reason why she left."

"I agree. She wouldn't do this without reason. Maybe it's something with Trigon again," Robin said.

"We have to find her," Beast Boy said as he broke away from Starfire's embrace.

"Beast Boy is correct. We must find Raven," Starfire agreed.

"But we don't even know where to start looking," Robin stated.

"Then we'll look everywhere," Beast Boy declared optimistically. "In her room there was a big ring made of white sand, that might be a clue."

"We should go search her room for any other clues. And maybe one of her books can tell us what the white circle is for," Robin said with a bit of hope in his tone.

A/N: I couldn't find a good way to end that chapter, so that will just have to do. The whole letter thing was really hard for me to write and was pretty corny. BUT I DON'T CARE! GO REVIEW NOW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Ravenmasteroftele: Thanks, I often find myself thinking about things I can't even began to comprehend. lol. I would love to be a philosopher, but I wouldn't even be able to come up with any original theories. I don't have an original thought in my rather small brain.

Realitychanger: Everyone seems to want to kill Terra with several different weapons. But I like your "DROP DEAD BITCH!" line, that is original. Terra haters must ban together to take over the world!

DreamerGir102: Yeah, 'Go' was awesome, she actually called him funny! 'Calling All Titans' was a great episode, even if it didn't have any BB and Rae scenes. Teen Titans is the best show ever created!

Moon's Darkness: School can seem pretty pointless and homework is the stupidest thing ever created.

bb-and-raven-rock: Thanks, I guess. I didn't really expect for anyone to LOVE my story, I just expected you to tolerate it. Lol

Monitor Supreme: I don't know how many chapters, I really didn't plan anything yet. I don't even know how it's going to end. I live my life day by day pretty much, so anything could happen now. Death to every version of Terra!

FAINTbattleCRY: The good guy always wins, right? Well if you aren't sure you will be by the end of this story.

KuroNeko1492: Beast Boy's fate may seem unfortunate now, but things may get better, maybe.

Yokie: I loathe Terra, i am tempted to just make them kill her already, but no. I must restrain myself and finish the story, the way I intended forit to be finished.

hide-because-its-me: I completely agree with you. I use the least ammount of effort in every thing I do and I get by just fine.

DreamHaunter: (Awkward silence) So... um, yup. lol

Anjeli: Go have a sugar cookie. You earned for reading my horrible writing. lol
