Chapter seven - Jealousy
Beastboy closed his eyes, as the wind whipped up strongly, with the blast from above.
'What in hells name is it?!' he thought in a worried state of mind. 'The HIVE?!'
He opened his eyes and looked over at Swift, who unlike his cowering self, was looking up, squinting slightly, but looking composed as her black hair flowed out behind her.
She was scanning the skies as she stood up slowly. She put her hand out to Beastboy, as he began to rise. He sank back to his knees.
"Wait here, Beastboy. You aren't going to like what you see, but just promise me you will stay here." said Swift, without turning around. Beastboy opened his mouth to argue, but was lost for words.
Swift turned slightly so she could see him out of her left eye.
"Promise me!" she said angrily, and upon seeing him nod, lifted off the ground. Beastboy shaded his eyes against the dust, which the strong wind had blown up around him.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Swift flew up into the sky, with her heart in her mouth. She had got to stop this.
She put her hands out to her sides. and a purple bubble appeared around her floating body. She flew up and up, quicking her pace, towards the bright red light.
She gulped as she realised that amidst the bright red light, was a slight figure, which was screaming, as the surrounding world was blown away.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the figure. Still Swift ploughed through, her bubble managing to penetrate the immense energy. She knew who it was, she'd known since she had looked up.
Swift swallowed and stared at the figure of her beautiful cousin, changed into a demonic figure of hate, and wanted to cry.
She saw Raven's form, hands clenched, face contorted in anger and pain, with tears flying down her closed eyes onto her cheeks. The cape was tattered from the immense energy she had been suppling.
"R-Raven!" said Swift, gasping, trying to control her own emotions. The noise stopped, and the light ceased, as the girls arms relaxed, and fell to her sides. Her eyes were closed, and she panted, as the dust settled around them.
"You....and...Beastboy..." came a gruff voice from Ravens body. It did not sound like her own.
Swift lowered her arms, and the bubble dissappeared. Her brain clicked the pieces into place as she realised the problem. She withdrew her breath sharply at the huge mistake that had been made.
"No! No! We didn't do anything...." she began, in a frenzy, unspeakably upset about Raven's thoughts.
And then something happened that Swift would remember for the rest of her life.
Raven's eyes opened, and replacing the beautiful lilac, was a horrible luminous green, which shone from her eyes like two torches.
Swift flew backwards a bit in mid air, struggling to keep her balance. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"I SAW YOU!" said Raven's new horribly gruff, echoing voice. It boared into Swifts soul and beyond. Swift drooped and shut her eyes sorrowfully.
"No..no, you've got it all wrong." she muttered softly. Raven was staring at her, the green eyes giving her body an eery green glow.
"You knew how much he meant to me. How...how could you?" said the gravelly voice of Raven. It was strangely twinged with a sadness recognisable as the 'old' Raven. But it was merely a glimmer of hope, which was lost in the pain.
"HOW COULD YOU!" screamed a definitely angered, echoey Raven. Swift was too scared to move, she merely stared as the power began to flare up again, and she raised her arms against the wind.
The bubble now enveloped Raven in purple, where she screamed but caused no damage to anyone but Swift, who also screamed in agony. She was containing a powerful force, fueled by an emotion. Deadly.
*
When the new Raven calmed down, the eyes became visible, scanning the purple globe, suspiciously. Swift, exhausted from keeping up the bubble tottered in mid air, scrambling to find the strength to go on.
She panted as the green eyed Raven scanned her smugly.
"What's the matter, Nerithon? Can't control your little cousin!" Raven laughed, manically. At the mention of her old name, Swift looked up angrily.
Her dark green eyes had taken on a new shine. "You promised never to call me that."
Raven stopped, and her newly green eyes flickered menicingly. "Oh, now did I? Well, considering you just WRECKED MY LIFE I don't think it makes much difference."
Swift looked at her in anger and disbelief. "You are not Raven! Who are you?!"
"I'm Raven. Just a side of her you've never met before." said Raven, her luminous green eyes scanning the area. Suddenly, she looked straight at Swifts frightened face.
"Don't tell me your afraid of a little Jealousy?"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Beastboy squinted up to the sky as Swift flew upwards, and he saw her disappear into the red light.
He sheilded his eyes as he scrambled to hold on, the wind was blowing him back. He lay flat on the floor, hands gripping tightly on to the surrounding grass.
He turned into a cheetah, dug his claws in firmly, and lay with his ears pressed down.
Then...the wind stopped. He opened one eye slowly, and saw the dust beginning to settle. He rose up to his full height, still in cheetah form, and began to find his feet again.
He was wobbly at first but when he felt secure he turned back into human form, and looked up slowly.
His heart stopped in his throat. It...it was Raven? What was she doing? Had she heard the explosion and come running? Was she alright? His thoughts raced, but as he calmed himself down, Swifts words rang in his head.
*"Wait here, Beastboy. You aren't going to like what you see, but just promise me you will stay here."*
He had promised. He looked up and tried to see what was going on.
The next thing he knew, he felt the wind start up again, and shaded his face, but this time it died down quickly.
He looked up, as he heard a shrill screaming coming from their direction.
He saw Raven in a purple bubble, screaming and somehow hurting Swift.
Hurting Swift?!
And that's when he knew something was horribly wrong.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Don't tell me your afraid of a little Jealousy?"
Swift's face flickered in an angry way. "Leave her alone! What are you doing to her?"
"Doing to her? I AM her. I don't know what you're talking about. And I really don't care." Raven sneered. Then she spat at Swift in a disgusted manner.
"You are going to pay. Now." Raven put her hands up, the green light flashing in her eyes furiously.
Swift was suddenly alarmed. Raven didn't really want to fight her..did she? Swift swallowed nervously.
"You..mean..fight?" she stammered in a petrified state of mind. She couldn't beat her cousin up. Could she?
"Yes. I mean fight. I hate you." spat the jealous figure of Raven. Swift flinched at the words and held her hand up slowly, her eyes sadly slanted.
"I don't want to fight you." she said simply. Raven scoffed at the comment.
"Again I reiterate. I don't care."
And with that, Raven lunged at Swift, eyes glowing a horrible green, a sneer on her once pretty face.
Swift didn't even look up. Her hand remained pointed towards Ravens flying torso.
Hit upon hit was directed at Swift, but missed, as a force held Raven away from getting to the other Azarathian.
Raven struggled like she was stuck in mud, but to no avail, Swift's grasp was too strong.
"Don't make me hurt you." came the sad voice. "Please Raven."
"I HATE YOU!" screamed Raven, her eyes glowing brighter and brighter. "I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I--"
Swift looked up, eyes glowing purple and flicked her hand gently. Raven flew backwards, with tremendous speed and force, and landed in the river with an almighty splash.
And then, there was silence.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Beastboy had heard enough. The screams of "I hate you" had rattled his soul.
He figured that he was probably next.
'But I love her, I would let her kill me, and I wouldn't fight back.' he thought sadly. His thoughts were broken as there was a SPLASH behind him. He caught the 'afterwave' and was soaked from head to toe.
He shook himself off like a dog, and looked up to see Swift floating towards him sorrowfully, with tears streaming down her face. She looked at him pleadingly, as her feet touched the floor.
"I'm so sorry." she said as the tears poured down her cheeks.
Then, there was a bubbling from below the water, and a rumble.
A black bubble outlined in white began to rise, from the water. It floated to the bank and melted away displaying Raven, with her eyes closed, lying on the floor.
Beastboy ran over to her wet body and hugged her tightly. She coughed and spluttered, and her eyes flickered open slowly, blinking.
Swift noted with great relief that they were lilac again. She smiled weakly at her cousin who didn't return one.
She didn't even hug BB back. She pushed him away and stood up slowly. She dusted herself down, and looked at the two teenagers who stared at her.
"I...don't want to see...either of you again.." she said, struggling to hold back the tears. Before either of them could object, she had taken to the skies, at her fastest speed.
Swift looked blankly at Beastboy, the words ringing in her head.
She burst into tears again, and it didn't take Beastboy long to follow her lead.
