Midnight Kitten: Hey everyone! Here's a brand new chapter just for you and my love for Beastboy x Raven! Woohoo! Going back…
Chapter 10: Hateful Love
"What are your conditions?" the dark haired girl asked in a respectful manner but a hint of hate on her tongue. She crossed her legs and levitated above Trigon's palm.
"My first condition, you will bring me the pendant your mother gave you." Trigon demanded, his voice firm and monotone. He removed his palm from under Raven and brought the small urn to the tips of his fingers. Raven looked at him with curiosity.
"My second condition is for you to stay here by my side and away from your so-called friends. They must not know where you are and what it is you're doing. You will have no communication with them and vice versa" He said. Raven's eyes grew wide open. She did not understand why she has to be separated from the Titans and why does Trigon still want her when her role as his portal was already fulfilled. She did not say anything while she waited. A hole loomed above the cave, it was the only source of light there was during the day. Heavy rain clouds passed by quickly as leaves carried by the wind followed. The smell of rain mixed with the air.
"Is that all, Trigon?" Raven finally said out of impatience. Trigon glared at her.
"Insolent little witch, do I look like I am finished?" He boomed, shaking the earth below them slightly. His glowing eyes flashed once then died down, seeing that Raven was not intimidated. She simply returned his stare with courage. "I want you to swear your loyalty to me; following every other without question, doubt or reluctance. When I find even the little bit of disobedience, I will punish you severely. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal" Raven stood up and bowed "I will take my leave and return before the moon appears in that sky." She pointed before turning into a shadow.
The scene disappeared.
"And you don't call yourself a traitor Terra?" Power hissed. She teleported herself behind Terra and whispered in her ear "Who do you think is emotionless? The one who sacrificed or the one who sacrifices another?"
"I can correct my mistakes if I accepted the offer! Beastboy would love me more after I have erased my wrongdoings! You don't know what I felt during that time! I could save those I have hurt before! What can I do? Everything is right there!" Terra screamed, she clenched her fists and tears began welling in her eyes.
"You could have said no." Memory told her. She moved towards the blonde girl and touched her head. "Terra, do you think it's possible for a soulless boy to love?" With that, Memory lifted her hand and Terra disappeared with a flash.
"Raven… are you sure this is the best way?" Power turned to the dark blue cloaked girl.
"It's the only way to make him forget everything." Raven replied as she turned her gaze to the sky. "I may not show my emotions but I have them, Terra. I know what it is to love, just not how to show it." She turned around and faded into the darkness.
The blinding flash quickly dispersed as Terra appeared in the T-tower common room once again. She looked around, finding it empty she began to cry loudly. She curled herself into a ball, her back lying on the long red couch. The door opened and revealed a tall red-haired girl standing shocked to the wailings of the blonde teammate of hers. She immediately flew to Terra's side and placed a comforting hand on the earth-controlling Titan.
"Friend Terra, is everything all right with you? What is the matter? I would appreciate it if you would tell me what is bothering you." She spoke in the kindest voice. Terra uncurled herself and looked at the Tamaranian.
"It's nothing Starfire. I have to go." She said abruptly as she quickly stood up and went out, leaving a confused yet hurt Starfire.
Terra continued to walk in a hasty manner. She wiped the tears from her eyes and banged on the door in front of her.
"Open up BB! I want to talk to you!" Terra yelled. She kept banging on the door and once again attempted to break the door with her powers.
"Beastboy's not here. May I take a message?" A male's voice came from her left. Terra turned to be face to face with the leader of the group.
"Where is he Robin?" Terra asked impatiently, tapping her foot on the ground, her arms crossed. She glared daggers at the boy wonder and waited for the reply.
"I don't know and if I did, I wouldn't tell you." Robin stated directly "You have been breaking Titans rules Terra. Because of you, we keep having unnecessary repairs to the tower. You need to learn your lesson"
"I do? More things burst when Raven is around. Why do I get treated this way when she has even broke more stuff than I did?" The blonde girl yelled, her right arm waved backwards. She looked at the masked teen more fearlessly "Now that Raven's gone and won't be coming back, why can't you treat me as part of the team! I'm more capable and stronger than her!"
"What makes you so sure that Raven's not coming back Terra?" Robin asked one simple question that turned Terra's world upside down. She stepped back a few, her bold blue eyes wide open. The blonde was about to run away when another shadow stepped from the dark.
"You know a lot don't you Terra?" A half robot spoke to her.
"I-I-I I don't know what you're saying Cyborg! Leave me alone!" Terra screamed back, her arms stretched in front of her chest, preparing herself for an attack. The tears were coming back again but she restrained them.
"Funny that whenever we have a mission, you're not there, Raven was. When we have battles against Slade, you weren't there, Raven was. When we are fighting the baddies, you weren't there, who was?" Cyborg raised a problem, before anyone could answer he brought up a finger "Raven. BINGO"
"How can you say that you are more capable than Raven when you have betrayed us twice, tried to forget who we were, separating your life from us and you don't even attend missions, battles, not even practice?" Robin said. He crossed his arm over his chest. He took a step forward and returned Terra's glare.
"Fellow teammates, I have found Raven! She is quite near!" Starfire's voice sounded from the intercom. The two male Titans turned to each other. "We're not done Terra" Robin said before both he and Cyborg ran to the common room.
They entered the room, heaving large breaths of air.
"What's the scoop Star?" Cyborg asked in between breaths. He crouched to the floor and looked at Robin "Man, I never knew the T-tower was this big!"
"Friends, look at the blinking red dot that is Raven." Starfire pointed to the large screen. "Raven has contacted us. She needs our help!"
"Star… that locator's whacked! Raven can't be in the Tower. That's impossible." Cyborg said. "A bug must have set it off or something. And since Raven had quit the team, she might have left her locator here in the tower"
Robin spun around and left the common room in a flash. He ran past the doors and corridors until he reached Raven's room. He slid it open and saw a faint figure amongst the shadows. It turned and then disappeared, leaving a blinking locator on the bed.
Terra slid down the wall, after the encounter with the two Titans, she couldn't control herself and the tears fell again. They turned into sobs. She can't take it anymore. Terra wanted Trigon to take her now, make her stronger and she'll show them just how good she is, how much she's better than Raven. She opened her eyes to see a pair of boots in front of her. Raising her head up, she saw Beastboy's hand extended towards her. She took his hand then he pulled her back up.
"Thank goodness you're here Beastboy. I have to tell you something! Raven, she-she---" She got cut.
"Where is she?" Beastboy asked her directly. A tone in his voice said that he was convinced she has what he needed to know.
Midnight Kitten: I hope that you're all following what is happening! I know it's short…I'm trying to lengthen it though. It's almost finished! Don't worry! Please review! I need to know what is wrong with my grammar or writing tactic or even my character personalities! Oh and I also want to know whether you like Power or Memory more just a little survey. Thanks!
