(Sequel to TT Fanfic): A Few Days After the Titans trip to Africa
Ch 1
There was heavy rain, darkness, and a green changeling lying on his back, starring up into the angry, gray clouds as water fell all over his broken body. Pain, that's all there ever, was or ever would be, but he never cried out. He fell into darkness.
"Beast boy, Beast boy! Wake up GARFIELD!" screamed a female voice of devastation.
Beast boy woke up soaked to the bone in his own sweat as he breathed heavily. He could hear his heart pounding through his ears as he sat up on his bunk and jumped down to the floor. He was so shaken by his dream as tears ran down his face. Once he dried his eyes, he made his way out of his room, down the hall, and into the kitchen for a midnight snack.
After eating his tofu and drinking a glass of water, he made his way to the couch and as he sat down, he stared out the window to see the storm raging outside the tower. He rubbed his arms to comfort himself, but he was still scared of his nightmare. 'What does it mean?' he though as he knew deep down somewhere what it meant. 'Is my life coming to an end?' He shook his head as tears came to his eyes once again. 'No, I'm not ready to di—
All of a sudden he felt a presence pass through him. It was familiar and comforting. 'Garfield.'
'Who's there? How did you get in my mind?'
'Garfield, it's me, King Twaba.'
'I can't believe it. How are you?'
'I'm well Garfield, but I can feel that you are not.'
'I just came back from Africa, where I revealed my past to my friends and faced Galtry for the last time before he was taken to jail.'
'That is not what I'm talking about. It's time to come back to the tribe where you can rest in peace when your time comes. You made a promise to come to the place your parents died when it was your time to leave this world.'
'I-I know, but I can't. I have a life here with the Titans. They're my family. I can't just leave them, and I have someone who loves me.'
'So, you haven't told the full extent of your condition to your friends or girlfriend?'
'No, I didn't see the need to. Besides I didn't think I'd live very long anyway. I didn't think I'd meet the Doom Patrol or the Titans. I just don't know if I could bear to tell them. I mean I know how to disappear. I could just disappear to Africa, and they would never know what happened to me,' he sighed, 'but I can't do that. It wouldn't feel right.'
'It's your choice alone Garfield. I cannot make it for you, but it would be good to see you after all these years. It would also be nice to see your girlfriend.'
Beast boy smiled. 'I know you'd like her. She has experience with magic.'
'I'm sure I would. Now take your time and let me know what you decide to do. Just call out my name when you need me. Goodbye for now Garfield.'
