Chapter 9 Whoa!
 
Raven jumped up when she saw Beastboy stir.
“Are you ok? I think my aura knocked you put at the last minute!” Raven said, Beastboy could see dried tears on her cheeks.
“Rae I'm fine! Don't worry I would go through it all again just for you!” Beastboy said getting up and hugging Raven close.
“I thought I had killed you or something Beastboy. What would I have done? I want you… I am so worried what if Dayner does win?” Raven gave in and sobbed on his shoulder. Outside the door Terra watched angrily. How could Raven pass up someone like Dayner for Beastboy, it made no sense. Sure she had gone out with Bb, but she also had been desperate for companionship, hell she would've gone with Cyborg! Hurriedly she went down to report her findings to Dayner.
“They have already consummated? Did he use protection or not?” Dayner said slightly panicked.
“They had protection Dayner, but they are not mated. Apparently Raven knocked Bb unconscious with her aura.” Terra said plopping next to him.
“Good, then for the next test I shall surely win, and Raven will be mine.”
“Yes and I shall be your mistress, but rest my love so you may get better.” Terra said pulling the covers to his chin. They gave Dayner a week to get better, and he was fine and healthy by the end. Orax came out to announce the final test.
“Ok young men so far you have tested speed, cunning, survival and strength. Now each of those is a great victory but alone they are worth nothing. The final test will be an obstacle course that forces you to use all four skills. There is a pool filled with flesh-eating fish, you will need your speed to get past that. There is a labyrinth that you need your cunning to get through. Then lastly there is a spot where you need to remove several heavy objects to get past. Now in the labyrinth we have assimilated a creature that is much like the Chimera of earth mythology and the same dragon that Beastboy encountered in the invisible forest will be guarding the heavy objects you are to move. Now there are two separate courses, you two will not be on contact with each other. I of course will be observing you from the sky. We begin at noon, eat up and be ready.” Orax turned and went towards his wife. Dayner turned and smirked at Beastboy.
“There is no way you can win Beast turd! Raven will be mine and there is nothing you can do about it!” He said walking away with a puppy-like Terra trailing him.
“She has become much like the enemy, hasn't she friend?” Star said, floating over to Bb.
“Yeah she likes Dayner, but is determined to see him win Raven. It makes no sense, I don't know if I should keep going… Do you really think I deserve her Star?” Before she could open her mouth, Robin cam over.
`It's not that which you should be thinking about. It is what Raven deserves. Would she really be happier with Dayner then with you? Would you put her through that just because you are not ready to rise to the challenge?” Beastboy hung his head low,
“Of course I wouldn't and I do love her with all my heart. If she wants to be with me then I will win, I have to!” He said confidently. Raven walked over and hugged him tightly.
“I have a bad feeling about this…” She whispered before letting go.
“Rae, I love you, you know that. But why do you not have confidence in me?”
“It's not that, I just don't trust him. He was charming at first, but now he is just… creepy.” She said darkly.
“Well don't worry, I am going to win, then we can go home and get married traditionally if you want.”
“Really? You want to marry me traditionally?”
“Of course I do! I love you how many times do I have to tell you? Well I am going to rest and eat something, so I can be ready.” Raven nodded and watched him walk off.
“You really do care for this Beastboy, don't you?” Nayanni said walking up to her.
“Yes I do, Nayanni why does your nephew want to mate with me so badly?”
“That I do not know, he has changes since you arrived, well like a day or two before, he stopped acting like his normal self.”
“How so?” Raven asked.
“Well he used to be so kind. Like in that survival contest where he killed all the animals that opposed him and even some that did not. I say that even Sayoki was surprised at that. And before he never was interested in many girls of Azarath. You are quite lovely but…”
“But not the loveliest I am sure, and he had some of those after him?”
“Yes, he was sought after by many girls when he turned of age, he also seemed reluctant to turn 18. Then of course he did not choose a mate for a year. His mother was very worried and that is why she said for you to marry Dayner, I think she thought he would simply refuse, but was delighted when he agreed.” Raven took this information in, but before she could even start to process it, a female came into view.
“What are you doing here? You are not allowed!” Nayanni said harshly.
“I had to come, when Dayner did not visit I became worried, but now I see. He wishes to marry a pure girl.” She said sadly.
“Who are you?” Raven asked curiously.
“ I am Ginga, of the outlaws. We reject they Azarathian government. That is why we are not allowed in society. But you see Dayner had saved me from a creature some time before he turned 18. We fell madly in love, and have been seeing each other secretly. It is not fair. My parents choose to live as outlaws, and I did not. If they found out about Dayner I could be sentenced to death as could he. But now I see that he does not truly love me, so I will never see him again. Goodbye.” There was a black aura then nothing, she was gone.
“Come, that was nonsense. Trying to dirty my nephew's good name. Let us go in the house we will be informed when the test begins and ends, as we are not allowed to watch.” Raven reluctantly followed her, she was so deep in thought about Ginga that she didn't look where she was going. Wham, she slammed into something solid.
“Rae, are you ok! I didn't see you!” Bb said helping her up. Raven smiled slightly when she saw him, their situation was a bit like Ginga and Dayner's. But if Dayner loved this girl, why did he want her? She stopped thinking as she reached up to pull Bb's head down for a kiss.
“You had better win Beastboy, because I don't want anyone but you!”

So what do you think? The good thing about this is that I already have an idea for the next chapter, so hopefully it will come soon!
