R&R por favor! You know what show I'm really starting to miss (besies TT)? Flapjack. Specially since the person who's gonna voice Cake the Cat voiced Bubbie. Sigh. CN, where have thy gone?

oOo

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

oOo

Raven and Garfield watched as their friends disappeared through Starfire's window. Beast Boy and Raven had their backs pressed against the door, solemn expressions on their faces. They knew the inevitable. They knew that they'd just barely escape by the skin of their teeth. So, they sat in silence, taking their decision it. It was until Beast Boy started smiling at her like a mad man, that she started to talk.

"What the hell are you smiling about?"

"It's funny; somehow, I always figured I'd die because of you." Garfield said, in a strange chipper tone. Raven glared at him before a small smile spread across her lips.

"So, I suppose we'll be going out in a blaze of glory." Raven said, standing up.

"I guess so." Beast Boy said with a smile. He reached for the doorknob but Raven stopped him, placing her hand on his.

"Just one more thing." Raven said, tip toeing. She kissed him quickly on the lips, a furious blush spreading across her face. With that, she opened the door and set up a shield, the birds racing to peck at her. Meanwhile, Beast Boy was still frozen in time, going over that kiss over and over and over again.

"Beast Boy! Come on!" Raven said, snapping him out of his trance. He nodded and transformed into a rhino, temporarily stunning the birds. Beast Boy morphed back into a human and pulled Raven into a room as the birds nearly clipped her.

"Thanks." she breathed out, as Beast Boy stepped ahead of her in the hallway.

"No problem. Let's go." Beast Boy said, pointing to the stairs. Raven nodded and flew down the stairs, feeling a little hopeful that they would get out alive. That hope was dashed when the giant bird reappeared in front of her, sending her tumbling down the stairs. No time for pain, gotta get the show going, Raven thought as she levitated the couch and sent it sailing toward the bird's head. It only stopped it for a brief moment. However, it was enough time for Raven to dodge the bird's next attack. Just narrowly though. Beast Boy changed into a hawk and circled around it, enabling Raven to through another piece of furniture at it. It proved useless though, as the bird simply shook it off and made an attempt to peck Beast Boy. Something glistening caught Raven's attention and she crawled to find what it was. Escaping a flying piece of furniture via Garfield she finally reached the glistening object, only to find that it was a long carving knife.

"The kind to destroy shadow creatures." a voice said surprising Raven.

"Lemme tell you a secret; they aren't real." Cisma whispered, leaving Raven to think things over. If they weren't real than that meant...

"Beast Boy, distract the bird!" Raven called out. Beast Boy nodded and began scurrying about the giant bird's body as a mouse. Flying to the birds height, she raised the knife up to her hands and plunged it through it's chest. Everything seemed to go in slow motion at that moment, for, the bird seemed to pause before letting out a shriek and exploding into shards of black glass. Beast Boy fell to the ground, transforming into a green cat before any damage could be done. Raven only stood in shock at what she just did, letting the black stained knife fall to the ground. She destroyed a creature. Not maimed, not traumatized. Destroyed. Beast Boy's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Raven! We have to go!" Beast Boy said quickly, casting a worried glance her way. She nodded and followed Beast Boy out the door, tossing him the keys as he jumped into the white Jeep. Suddenly, the second bird followed by a horde of shadowy figures came lurching toward them. Raven began to panic and Beast Boy hurriedly pushed the key into ignition. Finally, the car started and Beast Boy backed out, knocking a few trashcans down in the process. Beast Boy laughed nervously as he began speeding down the road.

"Shut up and drive." Raven commanded, her eyes glowing white as she levitated the trashcans' lids.

"Aye aye cap'ain." Beast Boy said, tipping an imaginary hat. Rolling her eyes and climbing on the back of the Jeep, she sent the lids flying at the shadow creatures, only momentarily stunning them. The car jerked to the side and Raven cling on to the bars for dear life. She growled at Beast Boy and he smiled nervously at her.

"My driving skills aren't so...great." Beast Boy said sheepishly.

"I can see that." Raven replied, uprooting several trees as they took an off road path. Raising one of her arms and stretching out her spidery fingers, she sent the trees spiraling towards the creatures, piercing on in the chest. That one exploded into a million black shards just like the bird. Raven's mind raced as she realized exactly what she had to do. Their weak point was obviously their chest, all other parts regenerating. All she needed to do was aim.

"Hey Rae! Nice job!" Beast Boy said, turning around to give her a high five.

"Eyes on the road!" Raven screeched, eyes widened. Beast Boy nodded, an embarrassed smile on his face.

"Right. You got it!" Beast Boy said, speeding up.

"You're the best." Raven said in monotone, though thoroughly meaning it.

"Coming from you, that's a pretty nice compliment." Beast Boy grinned. Raven threw a gray rock at the creatures, stunning them long enough for Raven to find something pointed. She located a fallen log and encased it in black energy. Raising her arm, she spent it spiraling into the bird's chest, making it explode like the other creatures. All that was left was one lurking shadow, with beady red eyes and sharp yellow fangs. It was gaining on the back of the Jeep, it's tendrils tickling the tires. It made a loud growling sound, throwing whatever it could pick up with it's tentacles at Beast Boy and Raven. Raven desperately looked around for something to stab it with, finding only a knife in the back of the truck. She would never be able to get a perfect aim unless she was closer to it. She gulped and looked back at Beast Boy, who was glancing between the road and Raven.

"I'll be right back." she mouthed. With that, she jumped off the back of the car, floating in the air and a knife in her hand. The shadowy creature laughed and attempted to coil it's tentacles around Raven's legs.

"Not today." she growled, dodging the tendrils. Uprooting a tree, she slammed it against the creature, stunning it. She quickly stabbed it in the heart, making it let out a loud screech. A few seconds later, it exploded into a million pieces, all of them raining down on Raven. She let out a relieved sigh and bent down, trying to slow down her heart beat. She heard the engine of the car cut short and footsteps running toward her. A green hand was outstretched before her and she took it to stand herself up. Without another word, Beast Boy pulled her into a hug and she closed her eyes.

"Beast Boy?" Raven said, eyes still shut.

"Yup?"

"Shit just got real."

O.O

Sorry this took a while. I was mowing the lawn today (proving my only talent lies in writing) and I went to Adventure Land. So I was kinda busy. 2) I might as well tell you what's gonna happen; this story has a couple more chapters, I've already got the next story's first chapter and I'm writing another story for Pokemon (maybe). So bear with me. That's about three stories after this one.
