Chapter 6
A New Past is Present
It's been two days since the titans went through the transformation. They weren't the only ones to change though. The whole city had disappeared and was replaced by forests, villages, and old castles. All of the citizens had lost all their memories of their lives before. The titans were split up and had forgotten each other.
Cyborg was a no longer half machine. He was all human and was a knight who traveled with princess Starfire, of a far away castle, as her protector and Robin (an archer) who had joined the two on their journey.
Beast boy was all alone. He was an outcast not only because he was green but because he brought trouble and misery everywhere he went.
Raven lived in Trigon's castle with her father. Though she didn't remember the titans, she dreamed about the memories of her real past that included the titans. "What do these dreams mean?" She asked herself as she starred at the roof of her room and she lay on her back. At the moment she was thinking about her latest dream. She was in a dark room with a green boy. Unlike most of her dreams though, this one had no sound so she had no idea what he was saying when she suddenly hugged him when he had fell to the floor and had seemed to be changeling into something. He was kinda cute though, whoever or whatever he was. She gave a small smile, recalling her other dreams about the green teen. She had hugged him in that on too but he had obviously felt uncomfortable or shocked or something by what she had did. Raven was about to ask what was wrong when a "stank ball" had knocked him down to the floor. At that, she felt like laughing but didn't. The dark girl sat up and decided it was already past sunset so she could leave the castle.
Raven took off walking into the forest when she heard a familiar growl and shouts from the forest. She flew there and stopped as soon as she saw them. They're the ones from my dreams! She spotted the green beast that seemed to be confused and angry.
Robin shot an arrow at him and Cyborg took out his sword.
The beast screamed in pain.
Just as Cy was about to kill him…
"Stop!" Raven put herself between the sword and the beast. She put her hands out and looked at them angrily. For some strange reason she felt an instinct to protect the creature. She had no idea why, but she did. "Don't you dare touch him," the vampire snapped.
The two teens were stunned as the knight lowered his sword but Robin still kept his arrow aimed.
Raven turned around to face the green animal.
"Get away from it! It'll hurt you!" The skinny boy shouted.
"As far as I'm concerned, you're the one hurting him!" She turned her head to glare at him as she looked at the beast with caring eyes. "It's ok….Beast Boy," she stroked his fur. "He's not going to hurt you again; I promise."
The two teens watched, shocked at how the beast reacted.
The beast sat down and didn't even so much as growl at her but cocked its head in confusion.
Raven took out the arrow, carefully and healed the wound.
"What are you!" Robin asked angrily. "You're one of those vampires aren't you!" He took up his bow and arrow again.
The beast pushed Raven behind him, protectively and growled.
To everyone's surprise (even Raven) Raven hugged him, remembering that in her dream he had changed back when she had done that.
The beast got smaller and shorter until BB was standing there in Rae's arms, unconscious.
Robin took this as his chance and shot at the beast.
"Azerath, Mertion, Zinthos!" Raven raised her hand as it glowed along with her eyes and the arrow which had stopped right where it was. She sat down with the boy in her lap. "Why are you trying to hurt us?"
Neither answered.
"Cyborg, Robin?"
"How do you…" Cy started.
"I dreamt about you guys and him," she looked down at the green teen. Raven glanced at Rob. "Where is Starfire?"
"Your kind are the ones who took her!" He stated angrily.
"Hm," she almost smiled and the sides of her mouth twitched upward. "My kind?" The vampire lowered her head. "I am only half of my so called kind."
Cyborg walked closer to her, "What do you mean?" He asked, wondering why he was concerned for her.
"I'm only half vampire. The other half is human," she explained, brushing the changeling's hair out of his eyes.
The green boy moaned as his eyes fluttered open, "Huh?" His face suddenly went red at noticing he was sitting on a girl's lap. "Uh.." She's gorgeous!
She looked down at him. He has beautiful eyes. Rae stared at him, not knowing what to say anymore. "Are you alright?" The dark girl finally asked.
He had been lost in her eyes so he hadn't fully realized her question for a while, "…….Uh….Yeah." Beast Boy smiled, "I'm fine."
Raven almost smiled back. What is this feeling? It seems familiar. She looked at Cy and Rob. "I think I know where to find Starfire. If I find her I'll be back tomorrow night." The dark girl stood up and began to walk back.
BB ran over to her, "Hey, wait up! What's your name?"
She stopped, "Raven."
"Well, can I come with you?" He smiled at her when she turned around to stare at him.
