Just a warning: this is one of the shorter chapters in my story, just like the beginning, but it's crucial. You'll know why when you read it.
Chapter 7 is like a complete panic attack, but you have to read the part to lead up to it.
Thank you again to my reviewers. I hope that I get even more reviews, but I'm not asking for anything. It means a lot to me.
Disclaimer: I don't know how to convey this to you. I. Do. Not. Own. Teen Titans. I wish with all my heart that I did, but then again, I don't. I do, however, own this story though: which I hope you are enjoying so far.
Author's Note: For this chapter, try listening to "Never Too Late" by Three Days Grace. It definitely helps.

Chapter 6:
I Promise
(*)
Three long says passed in Titans Tower. Luckily, there wasn't much trouble in Jump City. But, not much could be worse for its guardians.
Raven remained unconscious with no sign of a miracle approaching. She remained in the hospital wing, gently lying on the soft sheets, her pale face unchanged. Her frigid cold hand were, unknown by her, entwined in a pair of green ones.
Beast Boy had hardly left her side since she had been laid there.

"Friend Cyborg, why is it that friend Beast Boy has not emerged from the hospital doors today?" Starfire asked him during dinner the third night.
"He hasn't left Raven's side…" Robin added, holding his head with his hand.
"I thought they hated each other. I really did. But BB's definitely proved that theory wrong." Cyborg stated, placing some meat on Robin's plate.
"He has the feelings of likage towards friend Raven?" Starfire asked to two boys, excitement in her voice.
Robin nodded.
Starfire's face lit up like 10,000 Christmas trees.
"GLORIOUS! Now the two can begin the dating and…" she stopped after she saw their reactions.
"Why is it that you are not happy for our friends?" she asked, an eyebrow raised in question.
The two boys looked at each other, silently asking one another who would bring the news. Robin took a deep breath.
"Star, we don't know if Raven's going to make it through this one. Malchior has done something to her, and she's not showing signs of improvement." He put his arms around the girl as Starfire began to cry.
(*)
"You're going to make it through, Rae. I know it. You're gonna wake up, and you're gonna be okay." Beast Boy repeated for the umpteenth time. His thumb stroked the girl's pale flesh. "Malchior's gone, Rae. Forever. He'll never lie to you again. He's never hurt you again." He paused. "He'll never break your heart again. No one will. I'll make sure of it, Rae. I promise."
For the first time in three days, the shape shifter smiled.
"I won't leave you."

Cyborg walked into the medical bay with a plate of tofu in his hands.
"Yo, BB. I got you some…" he started, but then stopped. Beast Boy had fallen asleep, his hand still in Raven's, and he was positioned so that his face was inches from hers. Cyborg smiled.
He placed the plate on a nearby chair, and backed up to the door.
"Night, B."

Yup, another short one. But trust me. The next few chapters are really long. In my notebook, right now this chapter ends on page 25, but then again, I have big, bubbly, girly handwriting.
Please keep reading. I know it's boring right now, but I promise you, it's worth it. Please don't give up on it yet.
Oh, and would it kill you to Review? I don't think so. But again, I'm not asking for anything but you're reading.
Thanks again, Liz.
