HI! CHAPTER 5 IS HERE! Oh, this one is very creepy. If you are getting scared easily, skip it! Lots of graveyards, burying, funeral and such staff in here. That's what I mean. I hope you like it, though creepy!

The next morning Raven woke up earlier than usual. Earlier than the others. She stood up, put on her cloak and her hood, and headed to Beastboy's room. She opened the door and entered. She walked to his bed and realized the others have made a coffin from cedar's wood for Beastboy, and have already put him inside. They haven't put the cover on it yet, and Raven was able to see her loved one. He seemed normal. Even though dead, he seemed like he was only sleeping. Raven wished he was immortal too. She begged HIM too make all these just a nightmare, but oh, how came that HE was blind and deaf for her?
"Please Beastboy…This can't be real, my love…Wake up, please. Open your eyes, baby, I beg you…I know you can hear me, please…" she whispered but Beastboy couldn't hear her, he was already gone.
He was dead from the very moment Slade's shot reached him. And Raven knew it. She just wasn't willing to believe that Beastboy sacrificed to let her live. "But his cold, long lost body is a living proof of the fact that he is dead. How ironic…His corp being the "living proof" of…." Raven thought to herself and shook her head. She leaned forward and touched his frozen skin with one of her pale fingers. She has expected him to be frozen and as cold as ice, but for being dead….he was extremely warm.
Raven pulled her fingers away from him and stood back as the soft noise of the door sliding open reached her ears. She closed her eyes and heard Robin, Starfire and Cyborg entering her dead lover's room.
"So, Rae, you decided to come?" Cyborg asked her
"I am so glad that friend Raven is coming to say her goodbye to our lost friend Beastboy…" Starfire stated.
"So you've made up your mind Raven…" Robin said inexpressible.
"I guess…I guess that he deserves more than I what I have already given him…I want to be there when…When it happens." Raven said. She went closer to the uncovered coffin and dropped her head to Beastboy's side. "I only wish that we could get over this…That you wouldn't have to die…" She whispered next to his ear. She placed a soft small kiss on his lips and this touch indeed was cold.
Raven felt like she has just been hit from a lighting. Something like a very strong light lit up her mind and the pure truth was revealed beneath the shadows of her sorrow. Beastboy was dead, end of story. Robin was right; none could do anything to bring him back and that was it. The Titans were going to bury him and make his funeral the best it could be, he deserved it, but this was it.
They could do nothing more or less
"So...We're taking him to the back now?" Robin asked.
"Yeah. Hey, Star, gimme a hand here..." Cyborg said as he tried to put the cover on the open coffin. "It's huge!"
"Here we go, friend Cyborg!" Starfire said and they put the cover on it. Then S tarfire lifted the whole coffin by herself and held it in her hands
"You're pretty strong, Star" Robin said. He opened Beastboy's room's door and made space for her to pass
"To the seasore. H eloved to stay there. I think it's the best place to bury him..." Raven said
"Ok. Star go" Cyborg said
Starfire flew through the long corridors of the Tower and got outside. She held the coffin in her hands, and waited for Cyborg to dig the big hole where the coffin was going to be put in. When he finished, all the Titans held one of his four edges and put it inside. They pulled the dirt back on and stood on a circle. They didn;t know how to do a burial service, and the only thing that came to everyone's mind was a little "speech". And that was what they did; Robin talked first and then the rest followed.
"Beastboy...We are very sorry for your loss.You know that we are full of sorrow, we want you back but... You have been a very good friend and fellow. You were the shining light when everyone was down and moody. You always knew the best joke to tell, you chose the right moment to say a thing, you always knew what each needed to hear to cheer up...You are pricelesss." Robin said and placed a hand on his heart's side.
"I will always miss you, buddy. I will never find someone like you, even if I look for him all over the universe...You were the greatest opponent, BB. I already miss the times we spent playing video games,stinkball and watching movies...I will always remember you, buddy! Be on care!" Cyborg said and wiped away a tear from his real eye
"My green Earth friend Beastboy...I don;t know what Earth people say at such a situation,but I'll try my best. You really was the greatest fellow in the team. I feel I have to thank you for giving me my pet, friend Silkie...And I want to thank you for everytime you made me laugh..."Starfire placed her hand on her heart's side too, as Raven was getting ready to talk.
"No words in any language can desvribe what I feel this momment...Beastboy and I didn;t have the greatest of relationships...but we...found a way to get things worked out. We weere together for the last one day before this psycho, Slade kill him...He loved me for...I don't know how many time, but...I loved him too and...I was so alone and he made me feel something else...Nop more misery, but...I know this might seem impossible, but, yes, with him, even I could feel happiness. And when we kissed...Even I felt bliss, it was like a resurrection. And that's why the emptyness inside me will never again be filled...And the open wound inside me will always bleed. It might be invisible, but it will always bleed. He was getting close to heal it, but...Now that my only ray of happiness is gone, I know that I won't smile again...Neither laugh. I will always love him, for the rest of my immortal life, but he will never be by my side again..." Raven said. Shw was whispering when she began, but when small diamond tears appeared in her eye's corner, she spoke louder. She tried, but she couldn't hide the pain in the tone of her voice. Her bue eyes were gliding from the tears than filled them; they seemed as if they were mad of crystal. Raven's frozen look showed out the image of a being just hit from the worst of all things that can happen to someone. Shw putmon her hood and opened her mouth to continue, but the words never came out.. She never found the chance.
