Chapter I

"Memories I want to forget"

Panting. Loud panting. The boy was running as fast as he could. The time was passing too fast, it may be too late. What if he won't make it? No… No, he can't think in that way, it's… It would be…

Boy shook his head and stumbled accidently. His knees was hurt, but… There's no time to think about that little bleeding. He have to be here on time. It's getting dark, he have to hurry! Boy stand and winced in pain, but started to run again. No matter for tears dropping from his eyes, maybe because of pain, or maybe… Because of fear…

The doors of little jungle house opened easily when the boy had pushed them.

"Rita?" He shouted, but there was no answer… The boy went deeper into a house. Looked to the bedroom…
"NOOOOOO!" Beast boy was lying in bed in Titans Tower. His forehead was full of sweat, in eyes had tears. It took him few seconds panting to calm down.

It was a dream. Only one stupid nightmare… But… Only nightmare? He knew it wasn't. That was something more, the thing he wasn't able to forget. Even if he wanted that much.

"Beast boy?" The doors opened. The leader of team was standing in them and turned on the light "I've heard scream, everything ok?" Before he done the others came too, Cyborg yawning loudly

"Man, do you know what hour it is?! He asked drowsily.

"Yeah, sorry Dude… Heh…" Green boy scratched his head "I just… It was only a nightmare, sorry…" He jumped from his bed.
"Are you going somewhere?" Robin asked raising his eyebrow.

"Um, yeah, I'm going to make myself some hot milk. You can go to sleep, I'm ok, see? " He said trying to smile like always but it looked more like weird grimace.

"I hope it wasn't one of your stupid jokes" Raven said in the way to her room. Cyborg gone too. Starfire hesitated but she finally make decision to go.

"Are you sure…-" Robin started but Beast Boy didn't make him end "Yes. I'm sure" he replied.

Robin finally went to his room. BB sighed with relief.

Kitchen was absolutely in darkness. Beast boy flinched in first looking around. And What if it'll happen again? His natural easy-going personality wasn't prepared for that. Especially when he finally found his new family. New home. Time is passing so slow, slow for him. But all world was changing in days, even hours. That was something what is hard to understand. Even now, after that many years passed, he still have a problem to understand, the main question – WHY?!

Beast boy sat on the sofa with cup of hot milk in his hand. Robin asked him is everything okay… and he lied. BB truly don't like lying, but… This time he had to. There was no way to say the truth. Not this time…
