CHAPTER 10: Praying For a Miracle

The thunder rolled through the sky and the lightening ripped the clouds into pieces, yet no rain fell. It was as if the clouds tried to retain tears for the girl in the hospital and her heart broken lover, along with highly concerned friends in the waiting room. No sun came out to shine on the day, for even the all powerful sun could not put smiles onto people's faces at this moment.

The city looked gray as if the sun had gone out and only happiness could light up the city. Depression engulfed the city and every thing was silent, so silent outsiders would assume it was a ghost town.

The only ones who were in the hospital were the titans and other patients along with the staff. No one else was allowed in, was what the titans requested. They didn't want any interrogations at the moment, all they wanted was peace and quite in order to think. And they suspected that Beast Boy needed some time alone.

Beast Boy sat in the room…dead silent. Nothing in that room made so much as a whimper or tick. The only thing that you could hear was the heart monitor and Terra's harsh, short breaths.

Beast Boy sat there, absolutely hypnotized. No tears shed from his eyes, no sobs, no words, no whimpers, and barely any blinking. That's how bad the hypnotism was at the time being. His eyes were sore from tears, making blinking incredibly painful. He didn't want to blink fearing it would be the last time he would get to see her. Fearing one move might leave her to her death bed. His mouth felt like it was glued shut. He couldn't open it even if he wanted to, nothing in the world could get him to talk. The only thing that could make him happy and talk was if Terra lived.

He sat there waiting…waiting for a miracle…

The friends of the wounded girl sat in the waiting room, waiting too for a miracle.

Starfire sat close to Robin. Her face buried in his shoulder as tears came from her emerald eyes. Robin tried to comfort her, but in situations such as this one, it was a failed task.

Raven sat in a chair with her hood over her head, while Cyborg too sat in a chair, right across from her. They both glanced up at each other with worried looks. Finally Cyborg had enough of the weeping and the sad story.

"What are we going to do?" He asked out to any one. Robin heard, but didn't reply and Starfire didn't hear, making Raven the only one to answer his question.

"We don't…" Raven said hopelessly.

"But there's got to be some thing we can do to cheer BB up." Cyborg hoped

"I don't think-." Raven was cut off.

"I know, when was the last time he ate some thing? You know he's always up for a good meal!" Cyborg continued.

"I don't think that's going to help any thing, normally when I'm depressed, I don't like to eat much any thing." Raven countered.

"Oh, come on you and him are two totally different people. I'm sure he's hungry." Cyborg exclaimed while getting up. Raven followed. They went to the hospital cafeteria in seek of some thing vegetarian. They finally ordered something and took it to Terra's room.

Cyborg stuck his head in the door way trying to see if the coast was clear.

"Yooooo, BB we brought you some nasty hospital food…" Cyborg chimed.

"…Thanks…But I'm no hungry…" Beast Boy answered dryly, not even looking at his team mates.

"Whoa, that was bland!" Raven exclaimed.

"Are you sure BB I mean, I know your depressed, but you need to eat soon. When was the last time you ate, slept, or any of that stuff?" Cyborg questioned.

"We had some one who caused a midnight heist and we got back at four o'clock in the morning, I never got to sleep after that and the last time I ate was about 8:00am…" Beast Boy answered simply, still keeping his eyes on Terra.

Raven and Cyborg exchanged worried glances. They knew and understood his depression, but this was beginning to go beyond the limits. They could see what Beast Boy had already witnessed. If they lost Terra, then they would lose the Beast Boy they held ever so dear to their hearts. Every thing almost looked hopeless, until they noticed the stuffed frog leaning on the door frame.

"Hey…isn't that the gift that you gave Beast Boy?" Cyborg whispered.

"Yah…It is..." Raven whispered back while bending down and picking up the frog. Right as her hand touched the little stuffed creature she felt an all powerful rush flow through her body, like some one had poured a canteen of faith and hope onto her. She stood next to Cyborg for a moment staring down at it in her hands. She realized that this was no ordinary stuffed animal. She smiled and knew this was the only way to keep Beast Boy full of hope…He had to believe…Believe in Terra, so she could continue fighting and believe in God, so he can help them through this.

Raven snapped her eyes away from the frog and onto Beast Boy. She looked at him with sad eyes; she had never seen him this way before. She put the frog back where it was, leaning on the door frame.

She left the room, leaving Cyborg a little confused. Then he decided to leave Mr. Depression behind.

"Rae, what are you doing?" Cyborg asked as they walked down the hall.

"We can't do any thing to help him; he has to figure it out himself that there is only one way…" Raven said.

Cyborg's face dropped as Raven meant the only way was Terra would die. He felt all hope drop from his heart.

"…Pray…" Raven finished.

"What?" Cyborg asked. Feeling a bit more confused.

"If we don't pray, then there is a sure chance that we lose every thing. And being there for Beast Boy and Terra is the best we can do…we can only pray." Raven lectured.

He listened to her words and knew she was right. Every thing was in God's hands now and only he could make the decision of life or death. The only way was to pray.

The two titans walked back into the waiting room. They could no longer hear sobs from Starfire, which probably meant Robin found a way to calm her down. Robin sat there with Starfire's head resting on his shoulder, no tears came from her eyes, she just looked sad.

"How did you get her to calm down?" Cyborg asked.

"I didn't, she stopped on her own. So how did it go? Robin asked.

Cyborg sighed. "Not so hot…He's so depressed, the last time I saw him like this was when Terra betrayed us and turned to stone. But there's really nothing we can do. All we can do is pray for a miracle." Cyborg repeated Raven's wise words.

"Makes as much sense it's going to make on a day like this. I guess…" Robin said closing his eyes and leaning his head back.

Raven and Cyborg sat down in the chairs they had sat in before and lowered their heads. The room became absolutely silent, not even a crick from a cricket came to the ears of the titans. This silence slightly startled them. A terrifying chill rattled them to the bone, but they still sat there…praying…for a miracle.

Back in the room that held two wounded people, only a heart monitor supported their ears. The shrill cries of the heart monitor rang through Beast Boy's ears like the liberty bell once did through others ears. But every noise it made, it only made him worry. Every time a ragged breath came from Terra it almost made Beast Boy collapse with fear. Every movement and noise in the room made him want to scream. He felt like he was about to go insane. He had developed a headache some time after Cyborg and Raven left the room and every noise made it worse. He was tired, partially hungry, hurt, lost, hopeless, and broken.

He felt so hopeless. His heart was not working correctly, therefore it could not tell him to hold strong. His mind was numb, therefore it told him to give up, and the sinking feeling in his gut only made it worse.

Before they had reached the hospital, Beast Boy was Terra's line between life and death. But now no one was. For a brief moment the hospital served her, but they did all they could do. His tears represent him. The more he cried, the more he disappeared.

Suddenly a chilling breeze came into the room. This made Beast Boy shiver, but he didn't acknowledge it. Then the breeze came again, yet again he didn't pay attention. The breeze didn't come again. Instead a gust took its place. The gust screamed through the room and plowed into Beast Boy's back. It rustled his hair and it screamed into his ears: "Turn around…" He raised his head in surprise and sat there for a moment, dumbfounded. "Turn around…" it said to him again as the gust lowered down and disappeared

He didn't know how to respond, except to obey the command. He turned around in his stool to find the stuffed frog sitting on the ground, leaning against the door frame. He had forgotten about it when he saw Terra hooked up in the hospital bed. He could only stare at the creature. He was thinking of what had just happened. Turn around… He did as he was told, but he only found a stuffed frog. The Message made no sense to him, but then he thought about the acronym again. Fully Rely On God. Maybe the message was from the angels, trying to tell him to not to lose hope.

"I guess the only thing I can do is pray…" BB said to himself

He turned around to face Terra. He stared at her with pity in his eyes. He leaned over to where his arms rested on the bars of the hospital bed. He put his hands together and closed his eyes. Silence surrounded him, not a sound to be heard. It wasn't a cold silence, yet it was bone chilling. A warm feeling filled his heart. He knew God was listening.

"Like the nurse said… Terra is in your hands now…please let her live…Because if she can't live…I don't think I would be able to live either. I lost her once and I don't want to lose her again." Beast Boy started with a whisper.

"She means the world to me and I… I Care about her so much…Lord, I dream about this girl, constantly, almost ever night. And when I'm around her I feel like I've never felt before. The only time I feel like this is when I'm around her… I love her, more than anything else in the world." Beast Boy said, tears now forming in his eyes again. He grabbed her right hand again, hoping some how she would come back into his life.

"God…I don't want to lose her again…I love her so much." He whispered one more time. He began stroking her hand with worry. After a few minutes…he thought of the acronym again. He turned around, got up and he walked over to the door way. He leaned over and picked up the frog. He walked back to where Terra laid and placed the frog on the stool. Then he morphed into a frog and leaped onto the stool. He sat next to the frog; staring at Terra…All he could do now was wait and pray for a miracle.
