Chapter 11: "A Pretty Face"
-------------------------------------------------
Beast Boy still stood trembleing infront of Raven, while she was still impatiently waiting for him to still spit out what he was trying to say to her.
"Well... I was wondering... um... would you like to, um... ya know... go somewhere.... just.... you and me?" he scratched the back of his head looking bashful.
"Are you asking me out? Like on a date?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Well, um... hehe, yeah.." he blushed madly along with a sweatdrop.
It was never easy to tell what Raven was thinking. She usually keps a blank look on her face, which covered up what ever was inside her mind. She stood there staring at him for a few seconds. Then finally looked back up at him.
"Beast Boy, I'm not sure that's such a good idea.."
"Oh, c'mon Ray. Nothing drastic. I just thought we could hang out somewhere alone for a change. I know things have been making us act a little... weird, but... I promise your emotions won't get out of hand."
"It's not that..." Raven looked forlorn into her room. "I just... don't want to remind you of anybody..."
Beast Boy looked confussed, "Remind me? ...Of who?"
Raven felt a cold chill up her spine. A lump formed in her throat. She knew very well how to hold back the pain in emotion. Beast Boy would have never knowned that she desperately wanted to cry at this moment. She always longed to be able to feel without anything stopping her. Tears formed behind her eyes, but she didn't cry. Soon, she slowly mouthed out the name:
"...Terra...."
"Oh, no Ray don't be like that. I just.... well...."
"You really liked her, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but... you see...I ... she kinda... I don't know. She just... gave me what I wanted."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I've tried to always make you laugh for so long. But no matter how hard I tried, you never did."
This statement renewed a familiar feeling: the frustration he's felt with her. Of always failing to please her, and she would just shun him away.
"And when I met Terra, she gave me what I never got with you. She laughed at every joke I made. She made me feel special. And she-" Then BB paused, "She.......... pushed you away......"
Raven just continued to look down in her sorrow.
"You never did like her.... did you?"
She looked up at him again in a frown. She wasn't angry at him, just furious inside of the pain caused by that wretched girl.
"You don't know the half of it. You have no idea what she did to me. She knew I could sense her evil. She knew my visions were forshadowing me that she was about to turn on us. I knew I couldn't trust her. Soon my thoughts became reality. She betrayed us just like I thought.
"She was a confussed person, Ray. She didn't realise what she was doing. I know how badly messed up she was."
"And HOW messed up, do you think I am, Beast Boy?!!!?!??" she shouted at him. "I've heard all of those stories. I've listened to you two talk. It could never compare to the pain I've felt- The shame I have on myself! And yet you told her EVERYTHING! Our security codes, our weekneses, our secrets, ... my secret..."
"It's not my fault! I was tricked!"
"It's amazing who can be fooled by a pretty face. The night we were fighting Terra, when we all split up, Terra found me. We fought for an endless time. And because she knew my secret, she condemned me to it. That rage she made me feel... the horrible things she said... how she tricked us all... how everybody seemed to like her better than me. Especially you. The image of you and her together is what set me off. And I just... lost control...."
Beast Boy stared wide-eyed. He had no idea about this side of the story. "You... got angry, didn't you? I mean... really REALLY angry."
Raven nodded in reply. "I couldn't help it any longer. She made me expose the evil laced in my skin. And yet she defeated me... pulled me under... drowning me. And the last thing I heard her say to me was....'who's in control now?'. Those cold, damned words. I don't care how much you liked her. I don't care if that memorial said she was a true friend. She was never worthy of the name Teen Titan, and will always be evil in my eyes. So let her rott in her grave."
With that, Raven slammed the door shut.
Beast Boy sighed and turned away from the door. Now he felt so many different things. Mostly guilt, and confussion. But he wasn't really mad. She could never be mad at Raven. He walked on top of the roof into the gentle and radiant sunset and thought.
'Could I have been tricked all along? What if it all was a big lie? Terra.... she did betray us. She tried to get Raven away from me... all this time'
He sat down and let the wind blow over his soft, shiny green hair. Those words that she said repeated over and over in his head: 'It's amazing who can be fooled by a pretty face... fooled by a pretty face.... by a pretty face... pretty face...."
'Was I fooled?' he thought 'Was she a lie the entire time? Raven knew. She was only trying to protect me...'
----------------
Raven stood back in her own room. She was always lingering within these four walls. It was her only sanctuary- her only place to breathe.
'Maybe I was a little too hard on him... I tend to do that too much' she thought. 'Was I really angry? Or just jealous? This is all so confussing... but yet he let out my secret... to her... But he was fooled... fooled by that witch in disguise...'
Her points of view were battling back and fourth in her head. Almost like there was something moving around in her head. It pounded. It bounced back from the back to fron. From the top to the bottom. So rappidly. O, so viggorously. It was like..... something trapped..... something that needed..... needed... to get.... OOOOUUUTTT!!!
Raven jumped up with her heart pounding so fast. She couldn't take this anymore. If she didn't get her mind off this quick, something was going to take her. She needed to talk to Beast Boy again. She swung open her door and ran up the roof stairs in a heartbeat. She slammed open the roof entrance door, and there stood Beast Boy. Slightly shocked from the door that flew open to a clammy, panting Raven.
"Beast Boy..." she said in between pants "I'm sorry.."
"Me too."
"I'll... go out with you if you want.. I need to get out for a while. What about you? Are you okay?"
"I can't stay tied down forever." Beast Boy said with a smile. He walked up and stood closer to her. Raven then calmed down a bit. His touch was able to erase any trace of negative thought from her mind. Beast Boy transformed into a bird, and Raven levetated as they both flew off into the sunset.
----------------------
A dark, sinister chuckle was heard from the darkness in an old abandoned church.
"Oh, no you can never stay tied down forever, can you? Well, you have finally passed the test... I'll be waiting... my new apprentice..."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cyborg came out of the bathroom in a towel after taking a long hot shower after working out, whistling a tune from Outkast. Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard from the other room. He noticed it, and walked into the shady room. He saw a glowing red light on his tracker system. It was shaped like an 'S'. Cyborg stared with wide, pop-out eyes.
"Ggggguuuuuuuyyyyysssss..... GUYS!" he ran out drying off quickly.
