Chapter 1: Broken promises
Years ago in an African jungle, on a raging river on a doomed boat, one boy's fate was to be changed forever.
"Sweety you have to leave us." Said a saddened Mrs. Logan to her son Garfield. "No mommy! I won't leave you I can't!" "Listen Garfield, you have to go. Your Father and
I love you very much, and we want you to live a great life like we have together."
The ship was sinking fast and at this rate it wouldn't hold above the rapids much longer.
"But Mommy I love you too much I can't leave you!" said little Garfield, his eyes flowing with tears. "I love you too sweetheart," she said, giving Garfield one last big hug " I love you so much. Never forget how much I do. But you need to live a better life than we did and experience all of its beauty. Now go!"
Garfield turned into a green eagle and flew to shore. He morphed back to human form and watched as his parents were beginning to fall under the raging river. "Save them." He whispered, "Save them please!" He said even louder, beginning to shout, 'PLEASE! SOMEONE ANYBODY SAVE THEM!"
"Anybody?' said a voice. Time seemed to stop. In fact, it did. Garfield was in shock. Staring off towards the boat, wondering what was happening. "Over here." Said the voice. Garfield turned towards the voice.
There on the shore, a few feet away, was a man. He appeared to be in his thirties, yet he had snow white hair combed backward. His eyes were dark and he had a pointed chin. His skin was nearly pale and he wore a black button-up suit that extended out to his feet. He had a white tie underneath with black shiny pointed shoes.
The mark of Scath was on his forehead.
"Who are you?" asked Garfield, scared and confused. The man replied, "They call me many things, all you need to know is that I can help you."
"How?"
The man slowly approached the young changling, "Very simply actually. We can make a deal."
"What deal?"
" I will use the best of my abilities to save your family, and keep them safe, never to be mortally harmed again. All I require is your service to me."
"You can protect my family!" the hopeful boy asked, with a small smile on his face.
"Of course, as long as you serve me when I call you. Whenever that is." The stranger held out his hand towards Garfield. "So, do we have a deal?"
Garfield thought about it. His family's safety, in exchange for his services. He looked upon the man, then his parents on the boat an inch from death. He looked upon their faces.
"Deal." He said, shaking the man's hand. "I'm glad we came upon an agreement, Garfield Logan."
"Wait, how do you know my name?" "Well," said the man "it is a part of my job to look for people in your position." His tattoo on his head glowed slightly.
"Wow! Where did you get a tattoo like that?" asked the now happy Garfield.
"Let's just say I have friends in dark places. Don't worry; you'll have one too, in time." The man turned to leave, "Until we meet again." Then he vanished as time slowly began to move again.
Garfield turned towards the boat excited, expecting to see the boat magically float again. The boat, however, continued to sink. "What?" he said to himself.
The boat tipped
"No."
The boat crashed against the rapids.
"No!"
The boat and his parents were obliterated against the rocks of the rapids.
"NO!" He shouted, fell to his knees, and began to cry. He stayed on the shore sobbing over the loss of his parents for what seemed like hours. The man's broken promises were echoing through his head.
"Time to pay your dues."
Beast Boy woke with a start. His heart was pounding. His nightmares of that awful day were becoming more frequent. But this nightmare was different.
The dreams before never had that snake-like voice at the end.
He shrugged it off. Thinking it didn't happen. Just like his encounter with the mysterious man with the tattoo.
It was early in the morning. Beast Boy took the time to think about what he had to be grateful for. He is a famous super hero. He lives in the best place in the city. He has a loving family with friends that care for him. And best of all, he had a certain empath sleeping beside him.
He and Raven have been together for quite some time now. It has been the best time in his life. He loved the way Raven made him feel. He felt like he was gifted with an angel from heaven that he could love and be with for the rest of his life. He was also happy that ever since he told her how he felt, not a lot of things exploded around her like before. He loved her more than anything.
"You are my family." He said to nobody in paticular.
Just then the alarm blared making he and Raven jump and hit the floor.
"Ow."
"Ow." They said in unison.
Robins voice blared in the speakers. "Titans! We have reports of fires and explosions downtown. We need to investigate."
"Let's go!" said Raven, already in her uniform.
"Oww," said Beast boy, "I landed on my head!"
"That's OK. You weren't going to use it anyway."
Beast boy, now irritated quickly got dressed and bolted out the door with Raven at his side.
Yep, it's a good life. Beast boy thought to himself.
However he would soon find out everything will change.
