Author's Note: Err... Just read my profile. It will explain everything. Just know that this is a new story I'm writing and that the first few chapters might suck. Just bear with me.
A bloody scream exploded into the night. Noises of flesh being ripped apart, bones snapping every second was music to my ears. The sounds sent shivers all through my body, from the tip of my nose all the way down to my tail.
"W-What are you?" I heard a weak voice to my right. I chuckled deeply and licked the bone clean before meeting my last victim's eyes.
"Your worst nightmare" I growled and started to walk on all fours slowly towards him.
"W-Why are you doing this?!" he yelled out as I stood on my hind legs and pinned his body to the alley way.
"You were one of the people... that murdered my family... Now, I'm going to make you suffer the same way they did" I growled.
He whimpered and started to speak before I dug my claws into his chest, making him scream in agony.
"I-I'm sorry!" he croaked. I laughed darkly, squeezing harder.
"And I forgive you... because without you... I won't be like this"
"P-Please.. I-I'll give you anything you want.. J-Just let me live" he pleaded, blood running down his chin.
I grinned evilly.
"Oh.. but you already are" I told him softly before sinking my jaws into the crook of his neck, making another scream filled the darkness.
My eyes snapped open and I jolted out of the bed as if it was suffocating me. Hands trembled as I tried to keep my cool, sliding them all over my body to reassure myself that it was just a dream. Just a scary dream.
"Only it wasn't..." I muttered, having another shiver go up my spine. After what felt like a eternity, my breathing began to slow. Sweat dripped from my face and I swallowed hard.
"Damn... I need to stop waking up like this" I sighed as I ran my palm against my forehead. "What time is it?" I asked myself. I shifted my body to turn towards the alarm clock that never rings.
6:24
I groaned in disgust and let my body fall onto the bed again. "Too damn early" I muttered as I tried to go back to sleep. I tossed and turned for minutes, but it was no use. That nightmare, that memory, was just stuck in my head again.
"Maybe some water might help then."
I sat up once more and look into my laundry pile to see if I could find a shirt that doesn't smell too bad.
Not like anyone would be awake at this time. Well, Robin was a few days ago. Not to mention Raven with her meditation. Maybe I should ask her about helping me with these dreams. Then again, I would be telling her about my past and that's what I'm trying to avoid, I thought.
I sighed heavily and slipped on the shirt before opening my door to the hallway. The lights were all off and it was dead quiet.
Perfect, I thought.
I walked down the hall enjoying my time alone before the others wake up and I have to put on a mask once more. The door slid open as I stepped into the kitchen. The ice cold water felt really good as it went down my throat. I let out a noise of satisfaction and smiled at myself.
"Sunrise.." I set the cup down and quietly climbed up from the side of the tower outside, feeling the cool fresh air hit me. When I got to the top, the sight in front of me took my breath away. The first ray of sunshine peeked out from the crystal waters of the ocean, outlining the beautiful Jump City . The birds finally began to sing their early song and the morning breeze began to blow. Quickly, I sat down near the edge to let my feet dangle in the wind.
It was a perfect moment. One that is should be cherish with loved ones.
I miss you.. Mom and Dad. I wish I could of saved your lives. I wish you could see how much I've changed and meet my friends. I just wish, that I could see you, at least one last time.
A single tear fell from my cheek but I didn't care. In a few days, it would be ten years since they died. Since I last saw them. Since... I became a monster. I shook my head hard, trying to avoid remembering the dream I had earlier and focused on the sight in front of me.
"I'm not a monster anymore. I will never let that happen again" I told myself over and over again. Finally, the sun came out fully to light up the dark sky. I smiled sadly and stood up once again. "Love you guys... Hope you're doing good... You know.. In heaven..." I looked up.
The wind blew calm against my face and I sighed.
"Until next time... Mom.. and Dad" I swallowed hard and walked slowly towards the door. It creaked open and I started my way back down. When the door opened again, the sight of a dark hallway greeted me.
No one is awake yet?
Shutting the door, I walked back towards the kitchen, where the sound of something dropped interested my ears.
"Most likely Robin..." I muttered under my breath. Going into the kitchen, I smiled kindly at the flushed Robin. "You okay there, Robin? What happened?" I asked him.
"Huh? Oh hey Beast Boy. I was just going to start the coffee machine, but then I accidentally dropped the mug.. Good thing it didn't break though" he smiled tiredly. I grinned. "Oh yeah most definitely. That's Starfire's favorite mug" I told him.
His mask went wide.
"Oh damn.. you're right. Better put this away" he rushed.
I chuckled lightly.
"Anyways, what's up Beast Boy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Normally you don't wake up this early"
"Oh uh.. I just thought it would be nice to cook breakfast for everyone" I rubbed the back of my neck.
He raised an eyebrow.
"You know that no one really eats tofu besides you right?"
I laughed. "Yes dude I know this. Don't worry I got it under control" I reassured him. He sighed and shook his head. "I'm going to take a shower. Can you keep an eye on the coffee?" he asked, me finally noticing that he was shirtless.
"Yeah I got it" I simply said. He gave me a kind smile before disappearing into the door. The coffee machine roared to life as I flipped the switch and turned on the stove.
"Okay... Herbal tea for Raven, mustard for Starfire and "real" bacon for Cyborg..." I slowly opened the freezer to take out the frozen package. My stomach churned, nose scrunched up.
God, I could smell it already.
Quickly, I set the disgusting package in the sink and backed away a few steps trying to catch my breath. I shook the nausea way and continued on cooking breakfast, too lost in my thoughts as I did.
I wonder if Cyborg will be surprised that I'm actually going to let him cook the bacon. Sure, he will give me crap for it, but as long as he doesn't wave it in front of my face, I'll be good. Pretty sure he wouldn't do that though. He's my best friend, after all. Anyways, should I take out Starfire's favorite mug or should I wait until she gets it? I know we've become better friends and all, but I really don't think she'll like it if I touched it. Better leave that alone then. Oh I hope she doesn't find out that Robin almost broke it. She would surely kill him.
I laughed quietly to myself as I set the teapot on the stove for Raven.
Raven... After all these years, I finally understood that I was actually annoying her from time to time. I stopped for the sake of her though and in return she became nicer to me, Robin as well. Also, ever since I let the "calm" Beast out, I became very careful around her. The last thing I want to do is hurt her or the others again. Or anyone to find out about the monster, the one that-
"Beast Boy?" a voice brought me back to reality. I jumped a bit before turning my head to face a fully clothed Robin.
"You okay? You seemed dazed" he asked me. I nodded and gave him a smile. "Yeah I'm fine. Was just thinking about the good times we had before" I somewhat lied. He smiled back and nodded. "A lot of things have changed" he agreed.
"Except the feelings you have for Starfire" I grinned.
His eyes widen behind his mask of his and cleared his throat.
"W-What?"
I laughed and shook my head. "Nothing.. Your coffee is ready" I told him and poured him a cup. He only nodded and took the hot cup.
"Are you going to take the TV?"
"No.. You can use it" I smiled and went back to cooking. I felt him nod and headed towards the couch. Not long after, the waffles were done and my tofu bacon was crispy. My mouth watered, making me realize how hungry I actually was. Fixing myself a plate, I sat down on the table and ate the food that I just made.
The door opened to find Starfire walking in with her normal outfit.
"What glorious morning today is! Isn't it Beast Boy?" she smiled brightly at me. I smiled and nodded. "Mustard is in the fridge and your mug is on the top shelf" I went back to plate. She happily clapped her hands and fetched the things for her morning routine. Finished with my own breakfast, I set the plate in the sink and grabbed my soy milk carton.
"Would you like a cup for that, Beast Boy?" Starfire asked me. I shook my head and move out of the way so she could get her stuff. "Nah, I'm good Starfire. Thanks though" I told her and started to chug it. She gave me a smile and went to go sit by Robin.
I threw the empty carton away and grinned.
The door opened again to show Raven and Cyborg walking inside. They both stopped in their tracks.
"Beast Boy? You're awake?"
"And you made waffles?! BB! You're the best dude!" Cyborg came towards me and gave me a noogie on my head. I laughed and shrugged my shoulders. "I thought it would be nice to make breakfast" I told them.
Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Aw dude! Is this that nasty tofu shit?" Cy asked me, looking at the bacon. I frowned.
"It's not nasty tofu shit. It's fucking awesome shit!" I crossed my arms. Cyborg make a disgust face and shook his head. "Where's the real meat?" he opened the freezer.
"It's in the sink. Almost completely thawed out by now. Oh! And Raven-" I was cut off by the high pitch noise coming from the kettle. Raven quickly turned it off and set it somewhere.
"-the water for your tea is finished" I continued with a smile. She looked at me until she nodded slowly.
"Thanks" was all she replied and went to go make her tea. Cyborg raised an eyebrow. "You took out the bacon?" he asked me. I nodded. "Even though I really hate that you eat meat, I can't do anything about it. So might as well accept it right?" I smiled.
He smiled back.
"Thanks BB"
"No problem Cy" I started to head out the door.
"Oh! That means you can't talk crap about my tofu though" I laughed and disappeared into the hall, hearing Cyborg grunt.
Author's Note: Hmm.. I think this was an okay chapter. What do you guys think? I don't know when I'll update, but I promise I'll try to do it as soon as possible. So keep an eye out for updates.
