Another really short chapter, sorry, mine always are. but before you read this, I have a question: why does Slade wear his mask all the time in the cartoon? He doesn't wear it all the time in the comic, so chances are, he's not horribly deformed. I have my theory, but I'm curious to know what other people think. (bye the by, Infamous one: haha! that is exactly what's happening!) ok now, story time!
I could tell that Beast Boy was falling harder for me every day. I felt bad but didn't discourage him. To tell the truth, I actually kind of liked him back. I must have been lonely. very. lonely. that must have been why I did what I did.
It happened on what was supposed to be my last night before the betrayal. BeastBoy had walked me to my room and made a bit of a fool of himself. As soon as I closed the door I sighed and figured out what I had to do in order to save the boy's pride from oblivion. I opened my window and summoned the energy to hover a large rock to where I could step onto it, and floated to BeastBoy's window. He was there staring dejectedly into the mirror when he looked up and saw me. I said something cheesy about wanting to spend time with him, and swept him away.
The two of us went to a carnival, it was nice to be there without the crowds, and... well, BeastBoy was actually good company. I still don't know if I went with him because I felt bad for him, or because I actually liked him. I'd be having a blast with him on some ride or another, but then I would think of Slade, and just get confused.
The last ride we went on was the Ferris wheel. We fell to talking, and it seemed like beast boy had fallen for me harder than ever before. Every guilty thought and emotion I had felt the entire time I was with the Titans was compressed into the most painful guilt imaginable. If I had felt that way before, I would have begged them to help me break away from Slade rather than continue to deceive them. But I hadn't felt that way and had very little problem turning my back on them. But now, of all times, I felt guilty. BeastBoy was the only one of my prey that I might feel some remorse at killing, and now he was the only one that made me feel this horrible guilt.
I asked BeastBoy if he would still like me if I had done terrible things. He said he would always like me, or something to that effect. The poor thing had no idea that I meant something as horrible as feeding his team's secrets to Slade who would use them to eventually kill them all. I made up my mind; I was going to tell him. I was going to blow everything I had worked for these past few months, on one ridiculous spur of the moment. I would have too, if it were not that right at that moment BeastBoy leaned in to kiss me. A flood of images bombarded my mind: Slade laughing unnaturally after I succeeded in a mission, BeastBoy telling a funny story, the targets I hit in training, Slade sitting across the table from me, the Titans sitting across the table from me, more targets, and finally Slade pulling my face towards his, I leaned in, and there, to my surprise, was BeastBoy. I had half expected to see Slade. It was too late now, our lips had made contact, but only fleetingly, for it was at that precise moment that Slade decided to attack.
I know that's not really what happens, but it makes for a much more interesting chapter ending. please review!
