Chapter 4
After what had seemed like hours Beast boy had finally left his room. He headed towards the elevator, which took him to the ground floor, where he went to his usual thinking spot. He had depressed look on his face, which wasn't surprising to other titans when they saw him from the living room down below sitting on the rocks. He kept playing the scene which happened earlier in the main room over in his mind. More he played the scene, more it hurt him, but he didn't care anymore. He had lost everything he had cared for.
When it came lunch time, he decided to skip it and continue on sitting on his rock for a while.
-5 days later-
It has been five days since Raven had betrayed him and beast boy was still sitting on his thinking rock. He had not come up to the tower for anything except for when it was dark and he was sure that rest of the titans were asleep and even that he had stopped doing for last 3 days. he had slept on the same rock throughout these 5 days.
He had grown very distant from rest of the Titans in just few days. The mood in the tower had reached all-time low.
They were all worried about the green changeling
CYBORG: "I'm sure it can't be good for him just sitting there doing nothing." He said, looking out of the main room window.
ROBIN: "I think one of you you should go talk to him." He suggested, looking towards Raven.
RAVEN: "Why should I go" she asked genuinely confused
ROBIN: "He might listen to you"
RAVEN: "Why should he listen to me? I was the one that caused all of this to happen." she said in a gloomy tone. She also had a depressing look on her face and the guilt within her had began to eat her up.
CYBORG: "But you can fix it, he doesn't listen to us. We all have tried to talk to him." he said, trying to encourage he to try and fix things up with Beast boy.
Raven sighed, finally giving up trying to argue and stood up from her usual spot and teleported behind Beast boy.
RAVEN: "Beast boy" she asked quietly.
He ignored her voice. He was too weak to move or talk at this moment. He could barely balance himself without passing out
Raven walked up to him and said "Beast boy I know you must hate me right now but just listen to what I have to sa-WHAT THE HELL!" shouted Raven with wide eyes. She was shocked by Beast boy's appearance. He was in a terrible condition. His skin wasn't green anymore it was really pale. His skin rivalled that of Raven's. He was barely breathing never mind speaking. Raven took out her communicator and called Robin.
RAVEN: "Robin get down here right now. Its Beast boy he is in a really terrible shape we need to take him to the medical bay." she shouted frantically, tears streaming down her face.
ROBIN: "What!" he shouted. Raven pointed her communicator towards Beast boy, which made Robin realize the seriousness of the situation.
ROBIN: "I'll be down in a second, Cyborg Prepare the Medical bay immediately, Star yo..." Raven snapped her communicator shut and grabbed hold of beast boy's arm. He was too weak to fight back but if he had the opportunity to fight back he would've. Raven picked him up and dragged him towards the tower.
Robin made it down the elevator and ran next to Raven and helped her to get him into the medical bay, where Cyborg was already preparing the equipment for beast boy. When Raven and Robin arrived to the medical bay they hooked Beast boy up with many monitors. Somewhere in between dragging him from the rocks to medical bay Beast boy had finally lost consciousness and passed out, which freaked Raven out more.
-couple of hours later-
Beast boy's condition had seemed to be improving, his skin had turned back to its normal green and he seemed to be recovering fast. Raven hadn't left once and sat next to him throughout the entire ordeal. She saw his hand twitch one, and then more and more. His eyes suddenly shot open and he gasped for air.
Raven was happy that he woke up, but she didn't dare to do anything because of their recent events. She stood up staring away from him in fear and ran to get the others.
'That was weird' he thought trying to remember what happened. "Oh yeah, I forgot" Beast boy muttered as his anger and depression returned to him by tenfold.
Robin and rest of the titans walked into the medical bay quietly, not trying to provoke him. Robin walked up to him and began to question him.
ROBIN: "Why did you do it" he asked, with a concerned tone.
Beast boy just gave him a silent treatment.
After half an hour of trying to get him to speak to them, they finally gave up on trying for now as the alarm blared throughout the tower. Before Robin left he said "I'm pulling you out of the missions until further notice." and left with others. Beast boy then looked around the medical bay, making sure everyone was gone and decided to go to his room. He had a lot to think about, and trying to figure out how to deal with a situation like this again. He stood up and left the medical bay. He walked down the lowly lit hall, which lead to his room. As he reached his room, he opened it and walked in, not bothering to close it. He walked to his bed and dropped flat on his back.
-Beast boy's room-
THE BEAST: "They hate you" something in his mind started to taunt him.
BEAST BOY: "Beast what are you doing I thought I Tamed you" he asked genuinely confused
THE BEAST: "Ha-ha I was tamed until you fell into a pit of depression. I was unleashed again afterwards to guide you through these hard times."
BEAST BOY: "What do you want" he asked anger rising in his voice.
THE BEAST: "The same as you Revenge"
BEAST BOY: "Revenge? against who?"
BEAST: "the ones who hurt you"
BEAST BOY: "No you are not going to get revenge on them. They are my friends after all" he argued.
THE BEAST: "Friends" questioned the beast "They hate you, they only helped you so they wouldn't feel guilty later"
BEAST BOY: "That's not true" he shouted at his mind.
THE BEAST: "If they don't hate you then why didn't they bother to come and check on you for these past four days? Hmm" he taunted cleverly to get his point across.
BEAST BOY: "I-I don't know but they don't hate me" he replied in uncertain voice.
THE BEAST: "Then why did Raven betray you and broke her promise ehh…" he taunted Beast boy with most painful fact.
BEAST BOY: "Leave me alone, I don't want to speak to you now" he shouted after being reminded for the pain she caused.
More he argued with the Beast, more uncertain Beast boy became of his answers. The Beast was pointing out the truth in his point of view, but he knew he couldn't let his primal side take control of him whether the team cared about him or not.
THE BEAST: "Oh no I can't leave you. I'm part of you after all."
BEAST BOY: "Then shut up at least. I can't hear myself think" he shouted.
THE BEAST: "You are insignificant in their eyes. You always get in their way." He taunted.
BEAST BOY: "What, what do you mean."
THE BEAST: "Look they don't care about you. You are just a freak in their eyes".
BEAST BOY: "No, it's not true. You are only saying it to gain control of me"
THE BEAST: "I'm only speaking the truth. I know what you know because I'm part of you. Don't forget that."
BEAST BOY: "I know you are part of me, but that doesn't give you right to control me or judge others"
THE BEAST: The beast sighed heavily feeling like he was talking to a dumb child "Listen, sooner or later you will let your guard down and I will take over this body, so wouldn't it be easier just to do what you desire now"
BEAST BOY: "NO I will never let that happen. I'd rather die than let others get hurt." He said, an idea popping into his head.
THE BEAST: "That's what you think now, but deep inside of you feel Hatred and Rage towards the world. I've seen your dreams these past few days. I was surprised at the evil which lurks within your body."
BEAST BOY: "What are you talking about?" He asked in confusion.
THE BEAST: "Don't you remember your own dreams" he asked, chuckling at him evilly.
BEAST BOY: "No"
THE BEAST: "Well then I'll show you your dreams now" as he finished his sentence, images started to pour into Beast boy's head.
BEAST BOY: "No, it's not true it can't be." Beast boy said frantically as he saw his dreams. "I became a hero because I wanted to make others to feel safer on the streets, unlike these dreams I apparently have been having."
THE BEAST: "Well I only follow your inner most desires, whether they're good or bad."
BEAST BOY: "It will never happen you hear me, get out now"
THE BEAST: "NO I will gain control of this pathetic little body of yours and I'll show you as you see your friends life force drain in your own mouth!" he growled, finally losing his patience with Beast boy.
BEAST BOY: "NO, NO, NO" shouted beast boy as he broke into tears.
THE BEAST: "Oh yes and you will enjoy every moment of it" he laughed menacingly.
BEAST BOY "Not before I have anything to say about it" he snapped at him.
THE BEAST: "Oh and what will you do?" he asked, which ended up being a mistake.
BEAST BOY: "Oh you'll see I've got nothing to live for anyways" the Beast got an idea what he was planning to do.
THE BEAST: "You wouldn't dare to do it".
BEAST BOY: "Oh wouldn't I." He slowly pulled back his left sleeve revealing his vital vein under his skin. His right hand morphed into savage tiger claw. Beast boy reached way back with his claw and brought it forwards on his left arm. The razor sharp claw cut through his skin and severed his vein instantly. Immediately blood started to rush out of his hand with no intentions of stopping.
THE BEAST: "NOOO! How dare you avoid your fate? Now you will die." He roared.
BEAST BOY: "I know the world is better off without me anyways" realizing what he has done he collapsed on the floor and started to cry quietly. He knew that this will be his last sleep before death will claim his body and soul.
-Main room-
STARFIRE: "I wonder how friend Beast boy is doing?" she asked as they got back from the fight with Doctor light.
ROBIN: "I don't know. Why don't you go check on him?" he said.
Starfire nodded and flew out of the room.
She reached to beast boy's room. The door was half way open. She flew in his room "Friend Beast boy are you OK" she asked, walking into the room, her eyes widening for a moment. She ran to the hall and screamed as loud as she could for help.
On the floor there lay close to lifeless body of Beast boy. He was still breathing slightly, but if he didn't get any medical attention soon he would most certainly die.
Other titans burst straight into his room "What's going-""NOO Beast boy" Cried Raven as she ran over to him and began to heal his cuts.
Cyborg and Robin looked at their friend in shock and disbelief, questions running through their minds. 'How could he do this, what drove him to do this and if he was going to survive?' all these questions sent shivers down their spines.
A/N: (Well looks like things have taken turn for the worst as the Beast has made it's return even more stronger as Beast boy had come to realize what is actually lurking within him.)
what will become of Beast boy?
Will he survive?
What has Beast got to do with his future?
And where does Trigon fit into this?
(All these questions. they seem to be piling up as chapters pass. anyway I hope you enjoy the story and as always Reviews would be appreciated.)
