Hey guys i'm back and ready for more, don't worry they will find Raven, or not (evil smile). I guess you will just have to read to find out and also Beastboy went into a darker mode because his beast can hardly control itself so he is going to get slightly more violent but not too bad because soon he will let it out in a healthy way so don't worry. Anyways, nobody got my buried treasure clue (tear) you need to think more generic lol. You'll see what i'm talking about in this chapter, so without further ado chapter 9.
Chapter 9
"Nobody knows who can be above buried treasure?" I asked irritated. This is the second day of brainstorming, none of us can find an answer to Slade's riddle. It was definitely not as easy as Raven's mirror and I know its not an object, this whole thing has been frustrating.
"Beastboy we searched and questioned every pirate related villain in our database, so he or she is not a pirate," Cyborg explained.
"Well maybe you're not thinking outside the box," I assume.
"Beastboy," Robin lays his hand on my shoulder,"We are doing everything we can we will find her," he smiles softly at me.
I'm too irritated to listen to him,"Well obviously not enough," II storm out of the room and head to my own, tears welling up in my eyes threatening to fall.
I reach my room and fall face first on my bunk bed and cry silent cries for some time. After i couldn't bring myself to cry anymore, I get down and head to my journal, my only source of sanity left in this tower. With a sense of hopelessness, I begin to write.
Day 23
I'm sorry my love, i have failed you. This riddle I can't figure out and every second it remains unsolved you grow closer to breaking into something you feared since birth, a full demon, with no regard for life and destroys everything in its path. Is this Slade's plan? to cause ultimate destruction. It doesn't seem right, that is more Joker's style of violence. It doesn't matter anyways because i can't get to you without the answer to this riddle. I'm more exhausted than I've ever been, I wake up before Cyborg and fall asleep after Robin and what's more I am becoming more violent. My beast is now acting on my surface, i thought about killing Prof. Chang, i'm scared, what if i kill someone? What if its one of the Titans? What if its you? I can feel the beast slowly taking over my body and mind, he is a poison slowly killing me. I can't release him because that will cause ultimate destruction, but i can't keep him inside much longer or else he will release more powerful then if i let him out. You're the only one that can quell him. Slade will die for what he is doing to you.
I close it, too tired to write anymore and fall on my bed. I stay in a state between asleep and awake and something comes to me.
*I'm walking down a street in Jump city, it seems familiar but i don't recognize it. I notice my surroundings and see nothing out of the ordinary but something feels different. Just ahead of me Raven exits a shop with her back towards me, wearing a purple tee and black jeans. I smile instantly and continue to walk towards her, until i see someone holding her hand. I am overwhelmed with jealousy until i see the person holding her hand is a small child, not just any child, but a child with pale green skin and purple hair, wearing a white shirts and jeans.
"Mommy when are we going to go home i'm hungry?" the boy asked.
"As soon as your father gets back from his mission with Aqualad," Raven answered.
"But i want to go home now," he pouts shifting into a puppy and looking up at his mom.
"Jason, you know that doesn't work on me unless daddy does it," Raven said to boy named Jason.
I'm shocked, I realize that is my child and I already love him even though I have never seen him before. I walk up to both of them, Raven sees me first and turns around and I see another child in her arms, but this one has more gray skin than Jason and half green half purple hair, I notice that its a girl and is barely a year old.
"DADDDDDYYY," Jason says and shifts into a dog and jumps on me, something took over and i was no longer in control of my body or voice.
"Hey squirt, you didn't cause mommy too much trouble did you?" I ask Jason.
He shifts back into human form,"No daddy but my magic is getting better, today i picked up a whole car today,"
"That's awesome son," I beam at him," you didn't destroy it did you?"
"No, i put it back," Jason said laughing.
"Good job now let me say hi to mommy ok?" I asked Jason letting him down.
"Hey Rae, sorry i'm late, we had a little more trouble fixing that oil spill then we thought," I say to her.
She grabs my collar with her free hand and pulls me into a short kiss,"Its ok but you're holding Demetre," she hands me the child.
"That's fine," I say.
As she is about to hand me Demetre, the entire world freezes. Everything stopped, including me except my mind continued to run at full speed. I begin to panic, and the Raven's eyes start glowing white and she spoke in my mind.
"Beastboy please save me I want this for us," she echos in my mind.
"But i don't know where you are," I think back.
"Don't worry Cyborg will find the answer soon," She replies.
"Wait how do you know that?" I ask her.
"I can't tell you that Raven is too weak as we speak," She says.
"Raven? who are you then?" I ask again.
"You'll find out when you save her," The voice says back.
Everything fades to darkness and i bolt up in my bed. What? was that a vision of the future or a figment of my imagination? My mind is a jumbled mess of confusion, lots of questions without answers swim through my mind at the velocity of a speedboat. I then remember that Cyborg was going to find the answer soon, according to the disembodied voice that's attached to Raven. I walk to the common room and see Cyborg watching a pirate movie on the flat screen.
"That's not exactly helping, you know," I say to Cyborg as i go to the fridge to get some food.
"Yes it is, i'm watching this because it has buried treasure in it and maybe it could give me a clue of who we are supposed to find," Cyborg responded to me.
"Seems fair," I say back.
"Hehehe X marks the spot classi…" he suddenly stopped mid sentence.
This is really weird for him to do so i question it," What is it?" i asked Cyborg.
"Look," he paused the movie," X marks the spot, X is on top of buried treasure, you see it?" He asked.
"Yeah what about it?" I ask back.
"Really Beastboy, the X is red," I nod my head, he continues," on top of buried treasure is Red X."
"What?" i exclaim," Lets tell Robin right now."
"No way, i found, i tell Robin," Cyborg argued.
"Fine but be fast," I say.
he walk out the door towards Robin while i talk to myself," So we are going after Red X?" I say to myself," Perfect."
