Thank you to all of you, reviewers!
To answer to a review; we could say that Raven is Katniss but, you will see, I didn't copy the book exactly. Raven is Katniss but, in a way, Beast Boy is too. You will see why ;)
Beast Boy POV:
It's been five days since we are trapped in that district and we still didn't find a plan.
Robin is always in his room, trying to find a good plan to get away and fight Slade before someone will be killed, in those games. Starfire tries to cheer us up, especially Robin, by cooking Tamarianian dishes. I still can't believe that Slade found the right ingredients. Cyborg doesn't stop fabricating things to relax; Arella does the household tasks, the cooking and all those things, exactly like a mum; Metrion and Ginny are stressed and scared to be chosen and having to participate at the games and Raven is worrying for everyone and, because of that, I don't let her get out of my sight. I try to cheer her up by telling her jokes and making her play some video-games with me. But, what surprised me, is that she was willing to do all of that. When I tell her a joke, she laughs and/or makes a sarcastic remark and when I ask her to play with me some video-games she says yes. Raven plays willingly with me! I am worried for her. I mean, I am really happy that she is willing to spend some time with me but I have a feeling that she will volunteer. I wouldn't support it.
Since day one, I have a crush on her and the more I know her the more my love for her grows. If she dies, I wouldn't forgive myself. I might even kill myself.
Please don't take my Raven.
Metrion POV:
In two days, it will be time for the 'elections'. Two more days and two of us will have to leave and certainly die.
I am so scared. I know that if I am chosen I wouldn't survive. I mean, I am powerful but I can't kill a soul and I am younger than everyone here except for Ginny, Melvin, Teether and Timmy. Maybe I am just two years younger than my sister but it makes all the difference.
And Raven is scaring me. I think she is going to volunteer but I wouldn't support it if she dies. She is my sister! And I know I am not the only one who remarked it.
Beast Boy is always by her side, even more than before. He isn't really discreet. At least half of the Titans know that he is in love with her. He is so cute with her! They are perfect for each other! I mean, opposite attract, after all. And I know that my sister loves him too. But, at least, she is discreet about it. If she hadn't told me, maybe I wouldn't have guessed. And fortunately, she told me because when I arrived in the Titans, I had a little crush on Beast Boy.
But, now, it is over and I don't want to be against my sister. Why? For three reasons.
1) We are sisters and we promised each other that we would never be jealous of the other but be happy for her. And I love her way too much to steal her boyfriend. Well, future boyfriend.
2) Even if I did try to have him, I wouldn't have any chances because Raven is just perfect! She has a body of a goddess, Beast Boy's words not mine but it is true, beautiful purple eyes, smooth and shiny violet hair and I could go on and on.
3) We can't stand between them, they are destined. Look how it get for Terra and Malchior!
Anyway, now, I am just waiting for them to get together.
If Raven doesn't go in the arena.
Beast Boy POV:
"Dinner!" announces Arella.
I run towards the table and sniff the scent. It smells delicious!
The dinning room is situated between the living room and the kitchen. Inside, they are a wooden and polished table with beautiful engravings in it; eight chair assorted with the table around it; a beautiful chandelier in crystal hanging in the middle, atop the dinning table; and a wooden cabinet with some plates and glasses. The wallpaper is grey with beautiful black forms on it, making the room a little more cordial. I sit on a chair and observe one of the engravings. It has a form of a mythical creature running after another. An hydra maybe.
"What are we eating?" I ask while the others sit down.
"Lasagna." answers Arella.
"Vegetarian?"
"BB stop annoying everyone with your vegetables. Meat is what is good." says Cyborg.
"This meat was some poor and innocents animals!" I exclaim, scandalized.
"Don't forget that animals eat each other." says Cyborg, smug.
"Not all of 'em!"
"Stop it, boys!" scolds Arella. "There's a vegetarian lasagna and one bolognese."
"Ok it's good for me." I say.
"Good, so, who wants vegetarian lasagna?"
I lift my hand and, to my surprise, Raven too.
"Raven?! But, you're not a vegetarian!" exclaims Cy.
"So? Even the ones who aren't vegetarians can eat vegetarian lasagna. And it's been a while that I'm asking myself if I won't become a vegetarian." answers calmly Rae.
"WHAT?!" shouts Cy.
"YAS! High-five Rae!" I exclaim.
"But, why?" whines Cyborg.
"Beast Boy's right. Why should we eat animals? They're living beings. Why shouldn't we be cannibals 'til we're at it?"
"Well, good job, BB! You corrupted my baby sis'!"
"I didn't corrupt her, I just showed her the right way in life." I answer joyfully.
"And Raven was educated as a vegetarian." interrupts Arella.
"Ha! So, it's you who corrupted her, Cy!"
"No, in the contrary, I showed her the right way in life."
"Right way in life my ass!"
"STOP THAT!" screams Rae.
"Sorry Rae." I apologize, my ears dropping.
"Can we eat now?" she asks, rubbing her temples.
So, we start to eat in silence.
2 days later
Beast Boy POV:
Tomorrow will be time for the elections and I still didn't confess to Raven that I love her. I want to tell her because if one of us...
No, don't think like that!
Anyway, it is night time, now, and everyone is in their room except me. I am walking towards Raven's room in the dark corridor. I arrive in front of her room and lift my hand to knock. Come on, BB, you can do it. I knock softly on her door, my eyes closed tightly.
She opens the door and asks:
"Beast Boy? What are you doing here?"
"Well I... I..." I stutter.
Come on, BB, it isn't that hard! You just tell her 'I love you Raven' and it is over!
"Yes?"
"Ummm... I wanted to ask you to not volunteer tomorrow."
That's it BB, tell her something else you fool!
"I don't...I wasn't going to-"
"Don't tell me that you weren't going to do that, I know you were going to do it."
Maybe it isn't that bad if I tell her that. I don't want her to die. And I am not the only one.
"I have to, I can't let you all die in my place, I would never forgive myself for that. Never." she explains.
"Raven, if you die, I won't forgive myself, ever! I might even commit suicide!"
She jumps a little when I tell her that, surprise written on her face.
"What? But why?" she asks confused.
I take her hands in mines. Come on, it is now or never!
"Because I...because I..."
"Yes?"
I sigh, defeated.
"Because you are my best friend, Rae, and I wouldn't take it if you died. And, beside, I am not the only one. Metrion can't lose you, you are her only big sister and Arella wouldn't support it if she saw her daughter die in live."
She seems crestfallen for a second. Her dad eyes bore into mine before she straighten up. No, it has to be my imagination. Why would she be crestfallen?
She sighs, resigned before nodding.
"Okay, I promise you, I won't volunteer."
I jump of joy and hug her tightly.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rae!"
"You're...you're welcome." she stutters.
I let her go, wish her a good night and walk back to my room to finally sleep.
I admit, I'm cringing a lot. Even though this story is far better than my trilogy, the beginning is still childish. I wrote it just after High School Teen Titans 3 so, I was really young. I still rewrite it a little to make it better but, the more it will go on the more the writing will improve.
Thank you for reading!
