Raven looked worriedly up at Rorek whose hand was squeezing hers gently. She couldn't hear a thing except for the sound of the violent wind blowing around in her room.
Beastboy couldn't believe his eyes. He knew that he had gotten her angry, but this was a bit drastic, especially for Raven. He could feel himself running as Raven stepped slowly into the portal.
"RAVEN!" Beastboy screamed as loud as he could but she still did not hear him. With all his might he ran as fast as he could. He felt himself losing his breath as he jumped up and out the window grabbing her ankle just as the hole closed.
The only thing she could see were the blue walls that enclosed them into the pathway. She closed her eyes, tingling at Rorek's touch on her hand. So much was going through her head. She knew that what she was doing was the right thing to do, but she didn't want to admit it. That would mean that everything had been a lie, he really was a stuck up jerk, just like before. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a weight on her leg. Her eyes burst open to see a struggling, almost unconscious Beastboy hanging on to her.
"Beastboy!" She screamed out of shock. His weight was pulling her downward slipping out of Rorek's hand who was leading the way. She tightened her grip on his hand and prayed Beastboy could stay awake for just a few more moments.
"Beastboy! Hang on! Please hang on!" He was out of it but Raven saw him give a slight nod. She was in quite a dilemma. She needed to help Beastboy from falling but to do that she would have to reach down to him, but one hand was holding onto Rorek. If she let go of him both Beastboy and herself would blow away and be lost forever. If she used her other hand she would have to let go of the book but if she let go then they would have no defense. She tightened her grip on Rorek's hand and prayed Beastboy could stay awake for just a few more moments.
She let out a sigh of relief when she saw the light of a city shining through. She felt herself be flung onto the ground as she let go of Rorek's hand. Beastboy was lying on the ground next to her. Her eyes widened as she raced next to him.
"Beastboy!" She tried shaking him gently to wake up. He wouldn't move. "Beastboy! Beastboy!" She put her ear on his chest, searching for a heartbeat.
"Is he all right?" Rorek asked as he cleaned some dirt from his fingernails.
"He's not breathing! And I can barely hear a heartbeat!" Her hands began to glow blue. "I'm going to try and heal him." She was about to put her hands on Beastboy's chest when she felt something grab her shoulder, quite hard. She looked to see Rorek with a firm look on his face.
"You must save your energy; otherwise we won't be able to defeat Malchior."
"I don't care! I'm going to try and heal him!" She said as she put her hands on his chest. Rorek tightened his grip on her shoulder to the point where it started to hurt. She winced at the pain as he tightened his grip for every second she continued to heal Beastboy. She wasn't stopping and it was getting on Rorek's nerves.
"Raven, he's not worth your strength."
"He's worth every bit of my strength; he's not going to die like this!" She continued to heal him until Beastboy started to stir. Rorek was enraged by her disobedience and quickly grabbed her arms cutting off the power. Raven struggled against his grip but he was too strong. "Let go of me!" She said still trying to break free.
"I told you he wasn't worth it, now let's go."
"I SAID LET ME GO!" She kneed him in the stomach which allowed her to break free and used her powers to surround him in a dark aura and fling him back ten feet. He fell on his front side and slide an extra two feet, knocking him unconscious.
"I told you he was jerk." Raven heard a weak voice from behind her and turned to see Beastboy struggling to get up.
"Beastboy!" She said happily and raced next to him. "Are you okay?"
"Yea, I'm fine." He said rubbing his head.
"Good," she smiled, then slapped him on the back of the head.
"What was that for?"
"For being an idiot! Why did you follow me in?"
"Because, I didn't want you to go, I couldn't loose you." He said still very weak.
"What do you mean, you couldn't lose me?"
"Listen, Raven, I know I was a little harsh and I'm really sorry, please don't stay here!"
"Beastboy, what are you talking about? I came here because I trust what you said. You didn't trust Rorek and that made it hard for me to trust him, so I decided to come here with him so I didn't have to give him the book. I came here to defeat Malchior with or without Rorek."
"Oh." Beastboy rubbed the back of his neck and looked extremely embarrassed. "So, you weren't going to come live here with Rorek." Raven shook her head. "Well, then… there was absolutely no point in jumping into that portal."
"Well considering the fact that you almost got killed, I would say no. How did that even happen?"
"Well, it was really windy in your room and one of your artifacts blew over and hit me on the head, the rest was shock and fear, I guess. I feel like such an idiot." He said as he buried his face into his hands.
"You may be an idiot, but you're here, so you might as well talk to me."
"Oh… here? Now?"
"I don't see anybody else around and we can't go fight Malchior until Rorek wakes up, so you might as well."
"Um… okay." Beastboy looked down at his feet. "Well, first off, I wanted to say I was sorry, I was way out of line talking to you like that. I guess I was just frustrated."
"Why? When we talked in the cave you seemed to have made your peace with it."
"I kind of had, not really, but then I heard you and Starfire talking, and that… that he had kissed you."
"Oh… you heard that." Raven said trying to hold back her emotions.
"Yea, so I was kind of frustrated with that."
"Yea, well… so what? I mean he kissed me… why does that matter to you?"
"Um, well… I guess, because… well," Starfire's voice kept ringing in his head 'tell her' 'tell her' 'tell her.' He sighed and figured he might as well, after all that's why he nearly killed himself, just to tell her that. He looked up at her straight in the eye. Her violet eyes were waiting patiently for her to respond. He could feel her breath and was now aware that their mouths were dangerously close. "I cared because I wanted to be the one who…"
"AUGHHH!!" Raven felt a sharp pain straight in her back and collapsed in Beastboy's arms unconscious. Beastboy looked up in horror to see Rorek standing over them with his hand glowing white. He let out a ray of his power strike Beastboy right in the chest and he too fell over.
"Worthless." Rorek put his hand down and walked over next them. Beastboy so desperately wanted to jump up and rip the man a part, but he was too weak. He knelt down and picked up the book, lying next to Raven. "I got what I wanted." He stood up and looked down at Raven who was still lying on the ground. "You should learn some respect." This made Beastboy's blood boil. And the worst part about it all was that he couldn't do anything about it. He just lay on the floor hoping enough strength would leak into his body to just help Raven up, but he was paralyzed. All he could do was stare at Rorek's silhouette fade away. He pounded his fist on the ground, the only movement he could make.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Beastboy, you have to be okay!" Beastboy could hear someone, it was faint, but he could hear it. "I can't lose you! You have to be okay!" Warm tears landed on his eyes, allowing his eyes to twitch open slightly. He could see Raven, hovering over him, but she still did not notice he was awaking. He looked around to notice he was still in Knowl. He was still weak and could barely move. He turned his direction toward Raven who was still crying over his body. He decided that he would milk this a little more, and pretended like he was still unconscious.
"I can't believe you were right! Why, why, WHY did I let myself get used again?! Betrayed again! Why didn't I listen to you?!" Raven sat up and looked at Beastboy. "You… you're my best friend," she said grabbing his hand, "and I can't lose you, I need you, here… please."
"R-raven?"
"Beastboy?"
"Raven?"
"BEASTBOY!" Raven pulled him into a tight hug until she realized what she was doing and pulled away. She blushed slightly and so did Beastboy. "Are you alright?"
"Yea, a little shock up and a lot pissed off, but I'm fine."
"Thank God." There was silence between the two for a while mostly because Beastboy didn't know how to react to what Raven said, and Raven just couldn't think of anything to say to him.
"Sh-should we go after him?"
"Nah, he may be a jerk but he technically a good guy, even though he almost killed us to get what he wanted, it was to save his village and he needed to speed things up."
"How do you know?"
"There were signs along the way. One, he didn't completely refuse to me going along, if it were Malchior then he would just keep resisting because I have defeated him before. Second, when Rorek blasted us he didn't destroy the book, he walked away with it, and third I've been watching the battle go on for fifteen minutes while you were unconscious." Raven pointed in a direction and Beastboy's eyes followed. Sure enough, there was Rorek and Malchior fighting away, although it looked as though Rorek had finally trapped Malchior into the book. Like Raven said, he may be a jerk but he's still technically a good guy.
Beastboy sighed as he watched the battle, "well this was a waste of time don't you think?" Raven nodded in response.
"Beastboy… let's go home." Raven opened up a hole in the thin air which looked much like a black hole. Beastboy could see Raven about to step in but he stayed behind and twiddled his fingers.
"Uh… Raven, wait!" Raven turned around.
"Yea?"
"Well, lots of stuff has happened this past week, and… well, I never realized how much you meant to me, or how much I meant to you, and it seems as though every time I try and tell you this I get cut off, interrupted or someone tries to kill me."
"Beastboy-"
"All I want to say is… is…"
"Is…?" Raven asked as if telling him to go on. Beastboy looked up from his shoes and into Raven's eyes. He stepped closer to Raven pulling her into his arms. He just stared into her eyes for a few moments and leaned in to give her a soft kiss on the lips, making Raven's spine tingle and her heart beat faster. Beastboy pulled away and Raven's eyes were wide.
"All I wanted to say was that I love you." Raven looked down at her feet trying so hard to fight the blush creeping onto her face. She felt a large smile on her face that couldn't be stopped. Beastboy on the other hand was wondering if he was about to be injured very badly at this moment. He closed his eyes and braced himself while Raven practically jumped on him in delight.
"I love you too." She said still not able to control her smile. Beastboy smiled happily as well.
"Ladies can't resist the B-man." Beastboy said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Beastboy, don't ruin it."
