Chapter 5

Strange Behavior

Cyborg walked into the hallway and followed Raven, using his scanner. He used his arm to hear if she said anything.

Raven stopped walking and threw the water bottle at the wall out of frustration but then her eyes went wide. She dropped to her knees and held her head, "I wouldn't….I couldn't…" She slammed her fist on the floor, accidentally making a hole. "Damnit! I can't do this. Cyborg's already starting to notice I've changed and it won't be long before Robin and Starfire do too." She whispered.

Flashback

"Would you kill yourself to prevent it?" He grinned wider.

She stared him down with death glares. "If it stopped you, yes."

"Would you risk your friends deaths?" The big red demon smirked down at her.

"Don't you dare!" She flied toward him and attack but it had no effect.

"Of course I shall do no such thing," he started, "I will not need to."

"What do you mean? What are you planning!"

He laughed and spoke with malice, "Well, since you are my daughter, I'll tell you. I'm just going to wait until you kill your friends and release me during your moment of weakness." Trigon said calmly.

Another Flashback

Flash

"Raven, don't!" Cy shouted as she got a sharp pipe and stuck it threw his head. Blood spilled and rolled off his machinery.

"You don't have enough blood to satisfy my need trash can."

Flash

"Friend Raven, why do you wish to hurt us? I do not understand," Star looked extremely sad as Raven saw herself place her hands on her friend and hold her as she bit her neck, sucking out the blood. Starfire gasped in pain.

"I hate you all," she said as she wiped the blood from her lips and dropped the limp body.

Flash

"Raven, what's wrong with you?" Robin tried to walk back as she walked forward.

"You really wanna know you skinny wimp?" She grabbed him by the collar and held him up, showing her fangs, "I'm hungry." She grinned and bit him.

"Raven," he gasped and tried to get away as he felt her sharp fangs pierce the skin.

She licked her lips, "Hm, not bad for a wimp."

Flash

"Raven, don't let it control you! You can control it!" Beast Boy shouted at her.

"What makes you think I want to control it?" Raven grinned seductively.

The green boy was backed into a corner, "Don't do this Raven! You don't wanna kill me!"

She put one hand on his chest to hold him there and used her other hand to stroke his cheek. "Beast Boy," she said in a sing a long voice.

"Raven," he blushed, "What are you…"

She moved her face in closer as if to give him a kiss.

He closed his eyes and relaxed.

Raven smirked and bit his neck, tasting his blood before licking the bite tenderly.

End Flashback

"I can't let my visions come true."

Cy listened.

"I can't let them die. It doesn't matter what I have to do." She stood up with a look of determination and walked into her room.

The tin man came out and saw the hole in the floor and the water bottle she had thrown. "Dang," he knocked on Rae's door. "Uh, Raven, are you alright. I mean there's a whole in the floor right here and…"

The door slid open to reveal she was reading the book BB had given her from the priest. "I'm fine, was there something else you wanted?"

He was about to ask her about what he heard when he saw the book in her hand, "Isn't that the book BB bought the other day?"

"Since when does Beast Boy buy books?" She raised a brow.

"It just looks exactly like…"

"I very much doubt it," she closed the door.

Later On

Cyborg went back to the main room, "BB? Rob? I need to show you two something."

The two boys followed Cy to his room where he replayed the audio he had heard Raven say.

"I wonder why she didn't mention you Beast Boy," Robin studied the changeling.

He shrugged, "Maybe she thought I'd be too stupid to figure out whatever she's talking about."

"Probably," Cy agreed.

"We have to confront Raven about this." Robin said seriously. "Let's not worry Star until we get all the facts."

They nodded and went to knocked on Raven's door.

The door slid open to reveal Raven, "What?" She glanced at Beast Boy to give her some kind of explanation.

He looked nervous.

"Raven, we need to talk about your visions." Robin said first.

"Who did you see die Raven?" Cyborg asked. "I kind of heard you talking when I went to come check on you."

"I haven't had any visions," she attempted to close her door but Cy stopped it.

"Raven, I recorded it." He looked worried at the fact she was lying.

She frowned at them, pushing Cy aside with no effort at all and slammed the door shut.

The three were shocked, except BB that is.

"I think she's hiding something," the green boy spoke.

"How dense are you?" Rob asked him. "We'll ask later but we need to get her to talk."

They nodded and walked their separate ways.

The spiked hair boy and Cyborg walked back to the main room while BB started back toward his own room until they were out of sight.

Then he ran and knocked on Raven's door. "Raven, let me in," he whispered.

Raven opened the door and stepped aside so he could come in.

"Raven," he asked her in the dark. "Tell me what happened. I promise I won't tell the others."

"They died Beast Boy," Raven said dead panned. "Robin, Cyborg, Star, and you died." She looked down.

"Who did it Raven?" He asked softly as he went over to her, on her bed.

Rae looked up at him straight in the eyes and hugged him, "Beast Boy."

He was shocked but soon wrapped his arms around her.

"It-it was m-me," she stuttered. "I killed you all.

"You would never kill us Rae…Trigon!" He said, letting her go.

She nodded sadly. "He's back but he said he wasn't going to do anything until I released him." She stopped and then smiled. "That sounds kind of dum when you say it that way."

Beast Boy grinned back, "Yeah…"

Then she spotted the empty bottle of blood and frowned in understanding her father's words, "and he won't have to do anything either."

The green titan's smile disappeared, "What do you mean Raven?" He turned to see what she was looking at.

"What if something happens and I need blood but can't get it without……" She looked at him. "And I didn't just kill you guys, I took your blood!" Raven looked horrified.

Night

Raven paced her room. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and forth, back and forth, etc. She was trying to think of someway to stop her little problem. She had never thought it an option before but there had to be something or else Trigon wouldn't be so confident. She'd been pacing half the night and all she had come up with was that it might have something to do with the day she left. Every time she tried to remember that day she got a huge headache though. The goth glanced over at the changeling and smiled.

He had volunteered to watch her but she told him she slept during the day and not at night. The grass stain has insisted on keeping her company then but fell asleep.

Rae levitated the boy as she walked out of her room. She put him on his bed and smiled, "It's the least I can…" She heard footsteps approach and quickly got out of the room. The dark girl walked toward them as the person walked toward her. "Robin, what are you doing up?"

Robin stopped, "How could you tell it was me when it's pitch black without a light?"

Because vampires were meant to see in the dark. She thought sarcastically. "Starfire always floats, Cyborg you can hear from a mile away because of his heavy steps and Beast Boy's too lazy to pick up his feet."

He raised a side of his mask, "I never noticed that."

She shrugged. "So what are you doing up?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

Thank god it's easier to hide emotions when you're dead! "Couldn't sleep," she said the truth. She really couldn't sleep during the night anyway.

"Wanna talk about it," he offered.

"No thanks," she started to walk back to her room.

"Raven," he grabbed her shoulder.

Rae gasped and stopped as she felt a burst of pain hit her.

"Raven," he gasped and tried to get away as he felt her sharp fangs pierce the skin.

"Raven?" Robin let go of her. "Are you ok?"

The pain stopped when he let go, "I'm fine! I just have to mediate." And with that she teleported out of the hallway.

The Following Morning …. I mean … yeah morning

Robin called a meeting with Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy.

"Shouldn't Raven be here?" BB asked.

"No, because this meeting is about Raven," Rob spoke seriously. "Last night I found her in the hallway. I asked her what she was doing up and she said she couldn't sleep…"

"Man, you called a meeting for that?" Cy complained. "So she couldn't sleep, we all have nights like that!"

"Let me finish. When I asked her if she wanted to talk about it, she said no and started to walk away so I touched her shoulder and she stopped. She gasped like she was in pain and grabbed her head. When I asked her what was wrong she yelled she was fine and disappeared saying she needed to mediate." The Boy Wonder finished.

Everyone was like ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"So we have one more mysterious thing about Rae now?" Beast Boy asked.

"Looks like it." Cy said.

"Oh I do hope our friend will be alright," Star said looking extremely worried. "But what was the first thing?"

Rob and Cy glared at BB.

He sweat dropped.

"Nothing Star," Robin informed her.

Later on

Raven was meditating in the main room.

The titans were all watching her to make sure nothing happened. None of them knew that she was aware they were watching her.

She was far to busy to ask at the moment. Why do I get head aches when I try to remember on my own about why I left? And how I can not lose control of my instincts?

I am sorry to inform you that, that book has disappeared. The yellow cloaked Raven told her.

Disappeared? How could it just disappear? You mean it's lost, right?

No, Raven it disappeared. I was organizing the books one day and I saw that book disappear. I have no explanation to what happened.

How am I supposed to stop myself from losing control if I don't even know how I got in this mess?

Ask Beast Boy to help.

……What?

He is helping you, is he not? The only place I can think the book would reasonably disappear to would be in someone else's mind. If that happened then it would have had to have traveled to someone's mind on this island.

So you're saying that the book might be in one of my friends' minds? Well that's just great! Beast Boy wouldn't be a problem but how would I search the others' minds without telling them? If I told them what I was looking for then if I found it I would have to tell them I'm a vampire!

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Raven ran out with the others, her cape wrapped around her.

Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin took the car while Raven flew with Beast Boy.

"Why was everyone staring at me?" She asked the changeling.

Robin told everyone about your little episode last night. He thought. Sorry I fell asleep.

"It's alright," she said. "I'm more worried about the sun right now."

They landed and saw the crazy priest.

As soon as he saw Raven he lowered the gun.

"Man, what are you preaching now?" Cy asked.

"I wish to speak with her," he pointed at the dark girl.

"What for?" She asked.

"That is my business." He said plainly.

"No chance!" Robin shouted.

"I'll go with you if you drop the gun," Raven said.

The gun was dropped and Raven flew over to him and landed beside him.

"Raven!" Robin shouted.

"I'll be right back," she told them as she followed the priest. When they were alone she spoke to him, "Was that all really necessary?"

"You read the books?"

"Yes and I'm working on it. The only way that prophecy could happen was if I lost control of my vampire instincts but I have to find out why that would happen."

"I'll do some research and try to find out some information for you," he said.

"Thanks. I should get back to my friends before they get suspicious." She started to walk away.

"Are they really your friends?"

She stopped, "Yes, why?"

"Then why don't you trust them to tell them?"

"I don't need advice from a priest," she said rather angrily and walked away.


Man, what was wrong with this site? Sorry I couldn't update...or even get onto my account for that matter. Anyway, I've decided I'm gonna dedicate each new chapter to someone. So if you review for this chapter, you have a chance on getting the next chapter dedicated to you.
