CHAPTER 4: Blinded By Reality

Beast Boy Terra slowly walked through the hall with out so much as a word. I was 20 minutes ago since Raven's attempt and Beast Boy hadn't left Terra's side since. He knew Raven was going to strike again. She was probably going to keep picking at Terra until she went insane and killed herself, so that Raven wouldn't be accused of murder. But Beast Boy was going to put his life on the line for Terra, whether she liked it or not.

Terra couldn't get the fight out of her head. She kept replaying over and over again. It was as if it were a nightmare, you would keep thinking about until you were driven into the asylum. She couldn't get past the part when Beast Boy rammed Raven in the side. She didn't understand why he would go to such high measures in order to keep her safe. She remained in thought, but let her gaze gander threw surroundings. Her gaze caught Beast Boy.

His eyes…His beautiful emerald eyes were a serious mood. He appeared to stay alert, In case of a surprise attack. His green hair spiked up. The tooth on his bottom jaw stuck out and appeared more intimidating.

She had never seen him this upset. Except…when she was about to turn to stone. He had been so mad she could see the madness in his eyes and she could feel it through his heart. So why was he so nice to her after she had broken him repeatedly.

She tried to shake the memories away, but they were forever pasted in her mind, doomed to suffer a life of broken memories. She sighed in tolerance.

Beast Boy took notice of this. It always worried him to see her like this. She was miserable. He was the only one who could help her out of the darkness and show her that people care about her. But he didn't know how to help her. All he could do was comfort her in her time of need. She couldn't see what was right in front of her. He was right there, waiting for her to brake down so he could help her, waiting to embrace her, because he loved her. But she could not see that. She was blinded from reality. She was stuck to her fantasy world of tears and hate. She was afraid of the world. And he knew it. He was going to help her; he was going to help her no matter what it takes.

He put his hand on her shoulder. And began to talk as soft as possible.

"Terra I'm sorry about what happened back there. I just want you to know that I'm here for you." He reassured. He knew she couldn't hear him. She was lost in her own dark shadow. He could only hope that she could get a little of what he was saying.

She could hear him at heart; to bad she didn't let her heart speak out. She wanted to speak up and tell everybody that she was sorry. She wanted to yell to the world "I have power!" She wanted to shout to the sky "Give me strength to move on!" She wanted to scream… "I need some one to love and to be loved back." Though she didn't realize it… Love was right in front of her. Beast Boy was right there… Waiting for her to come out and love him back. But she was blinded by reality. Reality was so ugly, that it shattered her eyes and soul. Reality killed her every day. Every second of the day, it slowly wore her away, like decay. It was like a poison that ripped her away from Beast Boy's arms of embrace.

Suddenly thoughts that were on track ran off like a train, as the lights in the hall slowly began to dim in and plunge them into darkness.

Beast Boy thought he saw a black spark fly from the near by light bulb. It was Raven. She wasn't going to give up. She was going to kill Terra if it was the last thing she ever did.

Terra turned around to only find darkness. She couldn't find Beast Boy, but she just happen to come by a pair of glowing crystal eyes glaring at her menacingly. She gasped in fear. It was happening all over again. A black bird was after her…and she was out to kill.

Beast Boy spun around in circles searching for Terra. He had lost her in the dark, just like her heart. He turned around one last time and found s eyes. And then he felt a warm, trembling body bump into him. He knew it was Terra against him, so he grabbed her by the hand to tell her that it was him. He pulled her behind his back and waited for the unexpected. The eyes got closer and closer. Sweat dripped down his face, some of his hair was matted against his forehead.

Terra continued to quiver furiously. 'This can't be happening…it just can't! Why is every one out to get me like this? Don't I deserve a say in this argument?' She thought to herself. Nobody could see her eyes. And if they could, then maybe people could understand. They could understand why she was lost, why she's stranded in her lala land, why her memories are shattered, and why she doesn't deserved to be loved. If they only saw her eyes then they could see her heart. They could see her pain and help her through her thorny memories.

Beast Boy turned into a raptor, as the eyes got closer. Suddenly the eyes leaped up, and that was his queue. He jumped towards the figure that the eyes belonged to. And as soon as his scaly feet reached the body, he used all of his force and pinned it down to the hall floor. He unleashed a roar of anger and as he did the lights flickered back on, which revealed Raven lying on the floor under him. As his roar ended, he turned back into human form.

They glared at each other for about 15 seconds. Then Beast Boy spoke up.

"Leave her ALONE!" He boomed.

"Make me." Raven ordered. She then kicked BB off and got back on her feet. Her hands became a black aurora. She was ready to fight.

Beast Boy turned into a long horn and began to rake his hoof against the floor. Then he charged with full speed. He was concentrating on keeping Terra safe and that was exactly what he was going to do.

But before he could hit her, she had used her powers and grabbed him by the horns. She had a good hold on him, but it wasn't good enough, because he broke free and began to run at her again and this time he succeeded. He jabbed her in the side (but not with the horns) and she fell to the floor. She winced as the pain jolted through her body.

Beast Boy started to charge at her again so he could finish her off.

Terra watched in horror. She couldn't bear to watch this mass chaos. Her fists became tight and sweat rolled down her face. Her Temples tensed. Her face was a little red. She had had enough of it. It was time to end this battle, now…

"STOP!" She shouted above her lungs. Every thing seemed to freeze at that moment.

Beast Boy came to a rough halt. He was just a foot away from taking out Raven. And she wanted him to stop?

Even Raven, herself was confused at her action. 'Why did she want him to stop…she had the perfect opportunity to let him kill me and she made him…stop? She thought to herself.

"Just…stop…" was all she could say. She had a silent tear stream down her face, but she did not make a sound.

Beast Boy saw this and felt guilty for what just happened. He walked over to her and embraced her.

Terra would have cried more, but was trying to stay strong. But on the inside…she was braking down.

"I'm sorry…" Beast Boy whispered.

Terra looked past Beast Boy and looked at Raven. She looked very confused and lost, just like herself.

But Terra couldn't see this…Because she was blinded by reality.
