Crazy Sugar Girl

Chapter 9

Borrowing without Permission

After Duck tapping Beast Boy to his bed and having an unsuccessful journey into the orange girl's mind, she hadn't said a word or even thought much. So…much……………too………much……pink…… She walked down the hall, not going anywhere particular when she heard a yell.

"Dude! Someone get me out of this!" A voice echoed through the halls.

Raven stopped and a small smile crossed her face as she walked toward the changeling's room.

The green teen stared at the goth as she entered the room but then he saw the smile and smiled back, "Hey, Rae."

She shook her head with a playful smile still on her face, "Raven." The girl corrected him.

"So how did it go with Starfire?" BB lifted his head up a little.

Rae shivered, still having not completely recovered from her trip into happy land, and a disgusted look was now showing on her face, "There is no WAY I'd ever go back to that place."

"That good huh?" He chuckled, earning a glare. "Sooooooooooooo, do you think you can untie me now?" He risked, not looking her in the eye.

She grimanced but then untied him with her powers, "You have any bright ideas for Cyborg and Robin?" The goth raised a brow as he sat up, stretching.

"Weeeeeeellllllllllllllll … I do have one for Cyborg."

About 10 Minutes Later

Knock, knock, knock

Hm, I wonder who that is. Cyborg walked over to the door and it slide open.

Raven stood there looking rather…..timid? She looked up at him with big scared eyes, "Cyborg?"

"Rae? What's wrong," he asked his voice low and full of concern for the girl he thought of as his sister.

She shook her head, her hands twisting in her cloak nervously. "Can I come in please?"

The tin man stepped aside as she entered the room and he shut the door. "What is it Raven?" He asked softly.

"I," she started as quickly as she stopped. "Um, it's just," the dark girl paused again. "Can I tell you something and you promise not to tell the others?"

"Sure Rae, anything," he walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder to try to calm her down. "I promise, ok." Cy looked her straight in the eyes.

"I-I'm..."

"Have you told him yet?" Beast Boy walked in and she glared at him.

"Beast Boy," she growled at him.

"What?" He asked, totally oblivious. Then he sighed, "You haven't told him yet?"

"Raven told you already?" The half man asked, confused.

"Yeah," he smiled proudly. "Told me quite a while ago," the changeling gloated.

"Brag anymore and that's the last thing I'll ever tell you." Her eyes narrowed.

"Need help? I thought you'd do it in about ten minutes."

"She just got here BB," Cyborg was confused again. She was supposed to tell me ten minutes ago?

"Just-Raven, you weren't standing outside the door the whole time, were you?" Beast Boy asked shocked.

"Don't be stupid;" she started but then lowered her gaze, "I was pacing outside his door and…" Raven stopped and looked up at him with pleading eyes, "Could you?"

He nodded seriously and walked forward, wrapping his arms around her.

Cy stood shocked that Raven didn't tear him apart.

"Cy, we have something very important to tell you. It's about why Raven left."

The dark girl buried her face in his chest and hugged him, afraid of what her friend's reaction might be.

"She was turned into a vampire."

Cyborg didn't know what to say but this explained a lot of things. Her super strength she used to make the hole in the floor. Why she always had her cape wrapped so tightly around herself when they went out in the day. "Raven, why didn't you," he stopped as a question popped into his mind. Can she control her urges to suck blood and what has she been eating all this time? Fear coursed through him and he wanted to comfort Raven but he was afraid of her.

Raven let go of the changeling. She had sensed his fear and now regretted letting him know. "I'm sorry," she said and ran out of the room.

Beast Boy stared at his friend before chasing after her, "Raven, wait!" He too had smelled the obvious fear.

Rae stopped and fell to her knees, her arms around herself as her body shook with silent tears. "H-h-he's a-a-afr-afraid of m-me." She stuttered.

BB wrapped his arms around her, "It's going to be alright Rae. He just needs time." Hopefully. "Come on," he helped her up. "We should get out of the hallway."

Raven sniffled, nodding. She stared at the floor as they walked into her room and on the bed. "How am I supposed to find the book now? It's not like he'll let me search his mind now that he knows."

The green teen gave her another hug and then let her go as he wiped away her tears with his thumb, "I'll be right back ok?"

She nodded.

Beast Boy walked out the door.

"What happened Raven?" A voice came from behind.

Raven turned around to see Angel, "Cyborg's afraid of me." She stared at the floor.

"Afraid of you? He probably was thinking about the whole blood-sucker thing. Anyway, there is a way to control that. No worries." He sat down beside her and gave her a smile.

"There is? Could you tell me what…"

"Actually I think this belongs to you," he took out a book and handed it to her.

She stared at the book and then him and then the book again before opening it. Rae growled, "You!" She hissed angrily, starting to tower over him.

Angel backed up, crawling on the floor backwards toward the wall, "Come on sis, I was only borrowing it."

"Without permission! You cost me a friend!" Her teeth suddenly became sharper and her eyes turned red.

"Raven," BB and Cy walked in but then looked shocked at her.

"Ok, Raven, snap outta it!" Angel scampered away to another side of the room.

Raven growled and turned to Angel with sad eyes, "How?" She pleaded.

"Focus on a positive feeling Raven and release your anger."

The dark girl changed back, panting. "I…did…it."

Angel rushed to her and so did Beast Boy but Cyborg stayed back, watching.

Angel offered his arm, "Here."

She shook her head. "Not in front of them." Rae turned to BB and CY, "Please, I don't want you to see it."

"But who is..."

"GO...Please." She begged.

He nodded and left with the tin man, waiting outside the door.

Raven licked her lips and closed her eyes before biting into his skin. She didn't drink much before letting go and wiping the blood off her mouth. "Let them in."

Angel nodded and opened the door, "You can come in now."

The two titans came in and sat on the floor.

Cyborg looked extremely nervously.

The goth yawned, exposing her blood stained fangs. "I'm guessing you both are wondering who this guy is. His name's Angel."

"Yo!" Angel greeted. "I'm her protector and yes I am a vampire and no it wasn't me who turned her."

"He saved me from the vampires who tried to kill me."

"And Cy may I say one thing to you? I thought you were supposed to be her friend no matter what and now you're scared she's gonna suck your blood or something? Come on, she's only sucked my blood twice and gets the blood she survives off from the hospital wing."

Raven smiled a little. "You know you are overprotective, right?"

"That's what brothers are for," Angel smiled.

"So are you two really brother and..." Cyborg started.

"No, that's just how we see each other," Raven explained.

"Yeah, besides she already has..."

Rae jabbed him in the chest.

"Already has what?" BB asked curiously.

Raven glared.

"Nothing," Angel said quickly, suddenly staring at the floor.

The goth turned to the tin man, "So are you ok with me being a vampire?" She asked cautiously.

"Yeah, I just don't understand one thing." He scratched his chin.

"What?"

"About you and the priest wouldn't..."

Raven cut him off, "Actually he's helping me with this."

"Hey, how come you didn't just ask me?" Angel complained.

The dark girl suddenly looked very innocent, "Hm, I guess the thought never crossed my mind. So can you tell me how to keep my instincts in check?"

"Basically you have to not feel anything negative." He smiled.

Cy snorted and murmured, "We're doomed."

Beast Boy frowned at him, "Hey, Raven can do it!"

She smiled at him sheepishly but then turned back to Angel, brow raised, "And just how did you get into my room before sunset?"

"Uh…I…um," Angel sweat dropped. "Well…I was…kinda under your bed…" He gulped.

Rae glared at him but then turned her back on him. She glanced at her friends and smirked. "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!"

"NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!" Angel begged as pillows flew at him, attacking.

The boys laughed.

"Dude, she got you!" The green boy smiled his signature grin at Raven.

"That's what he gets for borrowing without permission," she giggled.
