Brand New Eyes: Chapter 2
Raven stopped walking when the kitchen door closed, regretting that she had left, for she wished to talk to Beast boy…. About Terra. How could he say her name? He…loved her didn't he? Raven paused before continuing down the hall, uncertain if she should go back or not. She walked slowly, her mind wondering. Terra had been there friend; Beast boy had been closest to her… Then she betrayed them all, making Beast boy unable to believe that she had sold them out. God, he had been wrong, nearly killed us… Giving Terra a chance to kill us at least. Raven thought. We survived and she chose her doom. But Raven knew that Beast boy would never get over it. They had been so close… too close, even more than friends. Raven glanced back at the kitchen door… It wasn't too late to talk to him… ask him why he had said HER name. But Raven couldn't go back, she wouldn't allow herself. Her speed quickened and she was soon at her door. She opened it, and stared into darkness. Even though it was morning, and very light out her room was still as dark as it was when she had left it that night.
"Raven?" She twitched but replied to the voice:
"Yes Beast boy?" She turned to the changeling.
"Um…" Beast boy paused, a flash of red shone in his cheeks then were gone. "Well, Raven, in the kitchen… y-you said my name." He stuttered.
"Garfield… I mean, beast boy, it was nothing. I just herd your voice when I woke up." She glided into her room and slammed the door in Beast boys face, rudely. The dream, she almost had forgotten about it.
She was sitting in a field. It was night. Then someone had walked up behind her, and had said her name, so softly. She had turned and it had been Terra, her features just the same. Terra had sat next to her and had said:
"Give up life, love, blood and soul. They do not belong to you." The ground underneath her had lifted. She was flying threw the air, unable to fly. The atmosphere, growing thin then she saw a bird. It was green, an obvious give away. It was then she had called his name, in hope and loss.
"Garfield…" He stared back at her, his eyes were longing to save her, to stop Terra from killing her, and to drag her down to safety, but he flew away and she had woken up.
She had almost forgotten about it, almost.
Beast boy stared at the door. It was still unmoving. He sighed, but he knew she had been lying! She lied, he knew. It was in the way she spoke to him and how she had so quickly retreated to her room. Why had she lied? It was only his dorky name she had said… in her sleep. He turned and started walking down the rest of the hall, and stopped again a HER door. Terra. She was… more than a friend. More close than anyone in the tower had ever gotten. He opened the door dreamily, and walked shakily into the closed off room. It looked almost the same from that horrible day… Beast boy clicked on the light and sighed. The walls reminded him of Terra, with all of the rock and sky. He could still hear her:
"You were my best friend…" It had been so long ago. She was one of the best things that had ever happened to him…. Then she made her choice. Now she's gone. He felt a soft tear slip down all the way to his chin then drip off. No, no! Don't cry like you did days ago!
"Terra…" He whispered, not noticing the dark figure behind him. It made no noise, then left. Garfield dropped down onto Terra's bed, trying to force himself to hold it all back, like Raven, but it was impossible. More tears slid down his face as he squeezed them shut, but that did not help. Why did I even come here? He thought, looking around the empty room. I'm just torturing myself, thinking about Terra. But god, it was so painful. It was like he had no choice but to suffer, and suffer hard. He wiped away the tears still left on his face and sniffed. Terra… He sighed and started to leave the room. Then he herd a whooshing sound and footsteps behind him. Beast boy froze, wondering whom it was.
"Beast boy." Came a familiar voice.
"No… I-It can't be…" The changeling turned. "T-Terra?"
