It was dark. And cold. Raven had always loved the night; but that one was
different: that night was cruel, it wasn't like a mother embracing sweetly
her sons, it was like a predator hid in the night, waiting for some fresh
meat. Raven stopped her runaway for a second and started to think: where
she could go now? Back to the titans tower? Back to the prison? Or she
could have escaped forever like Beast Boy, a rope around his neck and
nothing more? She remembered with pain his last moments of life. She had
the power of teleporting since she was born, but she hadn't used it so
often because she knew it was dangerous. She started thinking about Beast
Boy and the a moment later she was in the same cell where he was. He was
standing up on his bed, his hands were doing something in roof of the cell.
Apparently, he hadn't noticed Raven. She looked at him and whispered:
"Beast Boy!"
he looked around, confused, then saw her team mate standing in a corner of the cell. He looked her like a ghost and said:
"Who art thou, ghost or living? And why you bother me now?"
"Beast Boy, it's me! We haven't much time, we must hurry up! Come on, take my hand, we must escape from here!"
"And then? We'll hide forever, deceitful ghost? No, you're not the Raven I know, and I'm not the Beast boy you know. We died there, in that square, weeks ago. We're still alive for a strange joke of destiny. But I refuse to live like a ghost, it's better be a full ghost than live like one of them inside a world of living. Please, my fellow, tell Raven that I loved her, not Terra. I was just trying to heal my wounds, I never thought that Raven couldn't love me... And when I discovered that she was dating with another guy... I just fell down on my knees waiting for you, but Terra came instead, and I took a girl for another. It was wrong, and now I can clearly see it, but it's too late. Goodbye, ghost, maybe you can accept this life, I can't." and he started singing an old song, in a sad voice:
In the dark Miché Left knowing that
He couldn't never say to you that he had killed
Because he loved you I know that Miché have wanted to die because
He wanted to keep the remembrance of the deep love he had for you.
Raven was immobile. Something was holding her: she clearly saw Beast Boy putting his head in the tie of the rope and jumping down. Only in that moment the force that was holding her left her free and she run towards Beast Boy and tried to help him, but it was already too late. He was dead, his tongue out of the mouth, his hearth stopped forever.
Dark. Other darkness. Raven lived for all her life in the darkness, but now she was afraid of them: every time she closed her eyes she saw Beast Boy, hanging down from the ceiling. She was alone now. She started running like if she had all the hounds and demons of hell behind her. She was outside the prison, she was free, or, at least it was what she was thinking. She didn't want to face the truth: for the first time in her life, she was hiding from her thoughts. All of a sudden, she stumbled, and fell down with the face in the mud. Her thoughts took the chance and assaulted her: Beast Boy's dead; it's all your fault, they were shouting. She tried to drive away he thoughts, but it was impossible: they flowed slowly in her head, accusing her. Slowly, one of them grew like a cancer, and shouted: "He was right! You are nothing more than a ghost, in a land of living. You should die here, you know where's your place!". She closed her eyes and shook her head, trying to drive away the thought, and suddenly she saw Paul. He was standing in front of her, smiling, with his sad look. He hugged her and talked sweetly:
"why are you crying? You're not alone in the world, I'll be with you forever, in your heart. Beast Boy is here with me, and you know? He's so nice... we'll have a great time together, but it's your moment now. You have to live, please. I ask you this kindness: live for me. Now I have to go, and you too should. Your friends are waiting you. Bye!".
Ok, I know that it's quite a cliché, but it wrote it by itself.... I think that I'll write two chapter and then the story will be finished..., fiu... it's one of the longest I've ever wrote... hey! I got a hundred of reviews! Thanks everybody! Ah, the song is by De André, one of my favorite singer... if you want the complete text, just email me. Bye
