Chapter Fourteen: If I Never Knew You
If I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
Terra must have woken up just a few moments later, for she was still falling through the air. Then, she felt something grasp her shoulders, and the speed of the fall was slowed dramatically. She suddenly felt so tired and weak.
And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me
Then she was on the ground, with Beast Boy kneeling beside her. Her head was in his lap. "Terra! Wake up! You did it, wake up!"
In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes
Terra weakly turned her head. "…Beast…Boy?"
And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
Beast Boy smiled at her. "Yeah, it's me. I'm here. You did it Terra! You stopped that thing!" His eyes were beaming until they locked on her injured side. "You're bleeding!" He tore off some of his shirt and was about to put it on her wound when Terra stopped him with her arm.
If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true
"It's too late Beast Boy."
I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you
"What?" Beast Boy was confused for a moment and then he finally understood what she was saying. "No! It's never too late! Remember?"
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we made the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they'd leave us where these whispers in the night
But still my heart is singing
We were right
Terra smiled weakly. "I wish it wasn't." Tears were beginning to form in Beast Boy's eyes. She spoke again. "I'm sorry, Beast Boy."
If I never knew you
If I never knew this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
"For what?"
"For what I did to you. For what I'm doing to you now. I broke your heart three times before, and I never wanted to do it again. But I guess it couldn't be helped."
There's no moment I regret
Since the moment that we met
If our time has gone too fast
I've lived at last...
Tears were running down Beast Boy's cheeks. "No, Terra! Don't leave me again! The team needs you! I need you!" His voice shook.
I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
Terra looked up at him. "Can you promise me something?"
"Anything."
"Don't forget me…"
And still my heart is saying
We were right
We were right
And If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Beast Boy nodded and took her hand in his. Terra closed her eyes and rested her head against his arm.
Beast Boy didn't know how long he stayed there. He didn't hear the other Titans come up behind him. He didn't see the rain beginning to slow. He didn't feel Robin's hand on his shoulder.
All he heard was Terra's voice in his head. All he saw was her face.
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
All he felt was her love.
Alright, explaining time. Ok, that thing is connected to Terra cause it's her soul self thing. It was brought to the surface when Terra was with Slade, so it ended up being mostly evil. But, it couldn't do anything while Terra was a statue. So, it could talk to Terra, and it knew who she was. Also, since it came when Terra was with Slade, it felt like it needed to destroy Jump City. And, cause it's connected to Terra, they share the same pain. So, for the creature to die, Terra has to die...maybe...don't kill me! I know that the soul self idea is really stupid, so don't flame me! Anyways, there is one more chapter left in this fic. Please, don't stop reading this, at least read the last chapter when it's done, cause I need your help at the end of it. Sayonara!
