Chapter 4: Betsy?

(BB's POV)

It was dark and the night was sparkling with stars. Yet unlike the sky, Beastboy found himself running from something he couldn't see.

A roar echoed though the forest, and Beastboy scrambled after the fleeing titans. He panicked realizing Terra and Raven were gone.

He tripped over himself and as he turned to face the creature he stared into the demons four red eyes. It took a second for him to realize who he was staring at, "Raven?"

A Roar was the only response as the demon form of his friend slithered forward.

"Raven, don't do this," Beastboy heard himself say he turned to see other Beastboy staring right though him to Raven.

Beastboy was now more confused as ever, the last thing he remembered was falling asleep a few feet from Raven, now this happens. 'I've got to be dreaming.' He thought to himself.

"Please Raven, your good inside, I know you are," his other self cried out. "You're got to get control!"

"NO!" The evil demon Raven hissed in her serpent like voice, "All of humanity will pay!"

"Raven, wake up!" the new Beastboy yelled, "I know your in there, and I know you can hear me."

Raven strained for a brief second almost as in struggling within herself, "No, I'm Raven, now. The Raven you knew is dead!"

"That's not true!" wailed the new Beastboy. The original was also in tears seeing this copy of he's face express so many emotions, sad ones.

"Beastboy wake up!" yelled Raven's voice, "Beastboy! BEASTBOY!"

Beastboy's eyes snapped open to reveal Raven looking down at him. He looked around cautiously, the demon Raven was gone and so was his other self. The titans were cooking something on a makeshift frying pan.

Beastboy let out a sigh, "Yes Rae."

"One, don't call me that. Two, you were screaming in your sleep," explained Raven sitting up.

"I was," Beastboy said quietly.

"Yeah," interrupted Terra pushing Raven aside, "You had me worried sick."

Beastboy got up, "Look can I talk to…" Terra interrupted him.

"Of course you can talk to me," Terra said pulling him away.

"I was trying to say Raven," said Beastboy obviously ticked off.

"Well I need to talk to you," Terra said yanking him over. "I saw what happened last night."

Beastboy backed up slightly, "Y-you did?"

"Yes, but I think you should realize something," Terra said to him staring at him in the eyes. "Raven will do anything to get her own way."

"That's a lie!" hissed Beastboy.

"No, it's true," persisted Terra, "I heard her last night saying how stupid you were to even try and love her. She said terrible things about you B!"

"Hey, wait didn't Raven fall asleep before I did?" said Beastboy accusingly. He remembered looking over at Raven, late last night. Noticing that her eyes were shut and the only movement she made was the rise and fall of her chest.

"Well, she was only pretending to be asleep," hissed Terra.

Beastboy shook his head; he didn't believe Terra at all. "I'm sorry, Terra, okay! Look, I know you're still crazy about me, but you've got to keep out of me and Raven's business!"

Terra bowed her head, "Look, B, ever since I came back, I just wanted to be with you."

"Look, I can't say likewise because even if you're good now, I still feel betrayed in my heart," explained Beastboy. "I may change my mind, I may not, but I really do feel something for Raven. Please understand."

Terra nodded holding back her anger, "Tell me if you change your mind."

Beastboy nodded and turned to leave, 'I need to talk to Raven. I don't know why, but I feel compelled to talk to her' he thought, 'Whoa! Did I just think the word 'compelled'? Weird,' he thought to himself as he walked over to Cyborge.

"Hey Cy, where's Rae?" Beastboy asked him.

"She and Star went out to get fire wood near the forest's edge," He explained.

(Raven's POV)

Raven picked up a few sticks on the ground close to the dense forest. Raven was feeling as if the forest was calling her name, arguing her to come and walk though it.

Raven

"Who is there?" Raven called out, Starfire stared at her confused.

"Raven, it is just, Starfire, your friend," said Starfire holding a handful of sticks.

Raven

"Who are you?" Raven screamed getting annoyed.

Starfire was now terribly confused "I am Star…"

"I know who you are! I want to know who's calling me!" Raven snapped.

"Raven, no one is calling you," said Starfire.

"Can't you hear it?" Raven yelled.

"Hear what?" Starfire said looking around.

Raven, I need you

Raven suddenly turned into her soulself (Shadow Raven form) and flew though the trees leaving Starfire behind. She kept flying until she reached the deepest part of the forest.

There stood a Greek-like temple that was over grown with weeds and other plants. It was at least ten million years old, but seemed to still be used.

"Whoa, where am I?" said Raven looking around.

"I don't think this is where you belong, human," hissed a voice. Raven turned around to stare into the eyes a creature that resembled a lizard-man. (I guess you can say that)

"No Zendar," hissed a voice in the distance that sounded like the voice that was calling out to her. "You can not harm her, I summoned her here."

"I don't care, she still will die!" growled Zeldar, "Just stay out of my way, Betsy."

"Betsy?" Raven turned to face this 'Betsy' who summoned her, but all she could stifle was a gasp as she stared at Betsy's face.

(MA, HA, HA, HA! A cliff hanger! So what do ya think this Betsy is? Obviously not human! PLEASE REVIEW!)
