Yo. Here's the next chapter. This might come across to some as a tear jerker, or perhaps a bit gory. But, I kinda like this idea, and someone can steal it from me if they wish. :D
Putrid, green beast of a creature snapped at the two females, ivory teeth stained crimson from the blood of the two males he had just slaughtered. Large, emerald pools had lost all ounce of humanity as he advanced towards the squealing girl, her screams echoing in his mind. Licking his chops, he jumped on her, pinning her down. Despite her superpowers, she was defenseless, easy to defeat. Sinking his fangs into her jugular, he left her to bleed, eventually to die. The other teenager, refusing to die, levitating several feet off the ground, inky tendrils trying to capture the green monster. The beast dodged each attack, leaping to attack this other. Startled, she struggled, more than the other girl, but still she was no match. As her final screams radiated up her throat, he clamped down on her neck, killing her. Murdering her. Howling at the silver orb that hung low in the night sky, he bathed in their blood, lapping it up like the animal he was.
Green eyelids snapped open, sweat pouring off the animal like boy. Panting, he slowly rose off the pillow, sitting upright, emerald orbs darting around the room suspiciously. The dream--the nightmare had seemed so real. But he would never do that. Never. The Titans were his friends, and never in a million years would he harm him.
Gulping, his heightened senses heard a dripping, something leaking off his bed. Pulling the sheets off him, a horrid smell filled his nose. Urine. Yellow stains covered the whole bed, reeking of testosterone, a special scent that was unique to him. A scent that signified that this was his territory and belonged to him.
He stared for a moment, orbs widened in horror. He had done this? Sighing, he ripped the sheets angrily off the mattress, bundling them up, taking them to the laundry room.
The sun had barely begun to rise; it was about four or five in the morning, but still he was wide awake. Tossing the sheets carelessly into the washer, he ambled back into the kitchen, taking out random foods from the fridge, lining them up on the counter dazedly.
Glancing once again at what he had retrieved, he blinked a few moments. Meats--bacon, sausage, ham--sat there, plain as day, obviously not the tofu he had reached for. Looking once again in the never under stocked fridge, he stood, mouth agape. Eyes glinted with rage as he noticed that his tofu was not in its usual place. Someone had gotten rid of it.
Growling slightly, he grumbled on and on for a few more moments, interrupted only by Raven.
"You're up early." She stated, emotionless tone reverberating in his mind. Emerald pools pierced through her, boring a hole through her visage. She glared right back, eyes glistening with mockery.
"Where's my tofu! Did you throw it out!" Rage overtook him as he yelled at the dark girl, not caring how accusing his words seemed. Advancing towards her, he placed his pale green face right in front of her, two front teeth jutting out of mouth, pressing against his lower lip. Beads of sweat and anger formed on his forehead as he growled threateningly, asking her the question once again, this time adding more anger and threat into his tones.
Standing her ground, she pushed him away from her, violet orbs sparkling with hatred. Opening her mouth, she closed it again, then once again opened it, harsh lyrics finding their way to her tongue.
"I haven't touched your tofu." He snarled, fury bubbling in his veins. Emerald pools glazed slightly, as he pushed her out of his way, sending her a few feet backwards. About to morph, he stopped himself, the realization of how rude he had been sinking in.
His eyes pleaded for forgiveness as he bowed his head in sorrow, genuinely appalled by his behavior. "I'm sorry, Rae." Whispered, the apology was barely audible. Raven turned her back, walking right out of the kitchen, hiding the tears that had began to form in her eyes.
Sniffling slightly, her pace quickened when she saw that the Green Teen was following her, ranting about how sorry he was. She ignored him as best she could, the frail thing hurt by her friend's accusation. He didn't trust her.
Nearly running down the corridor, several light bulbs were engulfed in black energy as they shattered. Finally reaching her dark fortress, she slid open the door, slamming it in Beast Boy's face.
He didn't trust her. That's all she could think. Finding a spot near the door, she slid down into a squat, silent tears rolling down her cheek.
"I'm sorry Rae. Really. I don't know what came over me." He begged, pleaded for her forgiveness. But she refused, simply telling to "Please leave". Angered at the disregard of his several apologizes, he slammed a fist against the heavy metal door. "Be that way, then," He growled, pacing back into the kitchen.
On the other side of the door, Raven rocked back and forth, debating whether to go after him. Deciding against it, she looked up at the ceiling, large orbs still glistening with tears. "What is wrong with him?" A whisper, she interrogated herself, worrying for her friend's health.
For the remainder of the morning, Beast Boy continued interrogating each of the Titans about his tofu, answered each time with something along the lines of Raven's reply. Sighing, he patted his stomach as it growled hungrily, making strange and rather funny noises.
The aroma of bacon wafted towards him, filling his nostrils, only making his stomach rumble more. Muttering, he took a piece out of the frying pan, stuffing it into his mouth, chewing it violently. Just then, Raven scrambled back into the lounge, greeted by all. Except Beast Boy. He turned his back to her, refusing to look at the girl. Angered by her actions, he crossed his arms, but not before reaching for another slice of bacon.
"Hi Beast Boy." Timidly, she saluted That means "greeted" in this sense. :D him, amethyst orbs glued to her shoes.
He murmured something, supposedly a hello. Plopping down on the couch, he grappled for the remote, sadistically changing the channel.
"Friend Beast Boy, I believe we were watching the show about the…" Starfire began, cut off by the grass stain.
"Well, now we're watching Animal Planet." Snarling, he glared at the alien princess, as if daring her to protest. She held up a gloved finger, about to speak up, but was silenced by their leader.
"Beast Boy, Starfire was watching the Fungus Fair. It's her turn to chose what we watch, so turn it back." The authority in his tone rang through, obvious and thick. He raised a brow at the green one, whom refused to change the channel. Grabbing for the remote, he fought with the other for a minute, trying desperately to take grasp of the device. Finally, he won, half heartedly handing it to Starfire, whom happily changed the channel back to her program, "Fungus Fair".
Beast Boy growled viciously, and in a fit of rage, flipped the table over, calmly retreating back into his domain, four pairs of eyes following his every move. Looks were exchanged between the four other Titans, Raven's the most frightened, fearing the boy was failing captive to his inner beast--his innermost demon.
Throwing random objects around his room, crashing could be heard even in the lounge as his fit of rage and anger edged on and on. Finally, all was quiet as he stood in the middle of the destroyed room, panting. Staring at the mattress, he morphed into a huge dog, a wolf. Claws shredded the defenseless mattress, sending feathers flying everywhere. Emerald oculars had begun to glaze, humanity leaving them swiftly.
Green audits pinned to cranium as a knock was heard at his door.
"Beast Boy. Get out here right now. I want to know what's wrong with you." Robin's voice rang in the beast's ears, cold, harsh lyrics reverberating in his mind. "Come out now. Did you know you made Raven cry! I want an explanation now." Doorknob jingled as Boy Wonder tried to force himself in the room, succeeding at last.
All lights had been switched off, curtains drawn, preventing the sun's rays to penetrate into the room. Robin stood in the doorway, masked eyes darting around the room, scanning for the green teen. Mouth fell open in awe at the mess that the teen had created, at the destruction he had caused.
Suddenly, a huge, green creature leaped at him from the shadows, growling and shaking with rage. Dagger like fangs were revealed, the creature's upper lip quivering violently.
Roar of dominance radiated up its throat as its clawed hands grasped Robin's throat, squeezing. Gasping for air, the Boy Wonder pressed a button on his communicator, making lights and buzzers go off in a chain reaction. Grabbing for a weapon from his utility belt, he plunged the sharp edge of a birdarang into Beast Boy's shoulder, crimson blood flowing out of the wound.
Beast Boy roared in protest and pain, growls increasing. His grasp on Robin loosened, freeing the boy. Eyes narrowed as he snarled at the approaching team, all prepared to battle.
Each stared in awe as the beast circled them, Robin having taken his place at the front, ready to lead his team.
"Beast Boy, what are you doing man?" Cyborg yelled, waving his arms in the air.
"Yes Friend Beast Boy, why do you attack your friends?" Star piped in, confusion having flooded over her childish face.
"That's not Beast Boy." A cold, bitter tone answered them all. Raven stepped up, getting close to the growling animal. Her violet orbs spun a sad tale, one that all the others didn't understand. But she, she knew.
"What are you talking about Raven? Of course that's Beast Boy." Robin pointed at the creature, provoking it, forcing it to snap at the gloved hand.
"No. Beast Boy is long gone. This is his animal side, the only side left of him now." She had noticed the warning signs long before the others. The changes in behavior, in demeanor. It was only a matter of time before he snapped, losing his mind, morphing into his inner beast forever. And when it happened it would be the death of them all. She had envisioned it for months now, as had he. The same reoccurring nightmare was their fate.
All the Titans nodded, not understanding her answer, but knowing she was right. And in their hearts, they knew nothing could be done for their friend.
They fought their best, but the beast was too much of a match for them. Pinning Robin on the ground once again, his fangs pierced through flesh, crashed through bone. Yanking, he pulled out the boy's trachea, allowing crimson blood to pour out of his hollow shell.
Next, he viciously attacked Cyborg, ripping the electrical wirings out of his body, slowly shutting his systems down, forcing the black of death to consume him. Despite constant attacks from each Titan, he stood his ground, easily dodging them, or if he was hit, continuing as nothing had happened.
Star was the next to die, having her jugular pierced just like in his nightmare. Once Raven was pinned, his blood lust was nearly satisfied, their fate nearly sealed. Just as he plunged into her soft, ivory flesh, a tear formed in her eye, as she slowly mustered enough strength to say her final good byes.
"Beast Boy, I love you." The creature backed off slightly, allowing Raven to scoot away. A spark of emotion was seen in his emerald orbs, quickly dimming, returning to their inhumane state. As her sweet blood filled his maw and she breathed her last breath, he howled at the silver orb of moon that hung low in the sky, visible from the window. The Beast scampered out of the Tower, racing to the forest which he now belonged. Crimson stained his fur, reminders of all he had done.
As his paws stepped onto the soft green of the forest, he howled, mournful and unhappy, begging God for forgiveness.
