Chapter 4: Blink
He remembered, from a distant memory, when Raven told him something he'd never forget.
He had told her, that if she were ever to become hurt, or had to be hospitalized and couldn't move- that she wanted him to watch her.
He didn't know why she chose him, of all people.
He didn't even know why she told him that at the time. Maybe she looked into one of her crystal balls and saw her future. Maybe it was a feeling she had.
Whatever it was, he was not going to let her down.
He was going to stay by her side, no matter what.
He felt a horrible feeling, a feeling of sadness and guilt sweep over him in a cold, thick wave.
He felt obligated to stay by her side.
He felt like he had to do.
Maybe it was because she trusted him.
If she trusted him, why did he let her down? Why did he let her end up like this?
Why didn't he do something to stop that Boy?
He sighed.
Maybe it was because, he trusted her as well?
If he couldn't move…And was hurt…Would he want Beast Boy watching him?
No, he wouldn't.
It was partly because of his mask.
He could easily see Beast Boy become so curious and lift up his mask, little buy little…
He shook the thought.
He glanced over to the clock that seemly ticked louder, and louder every hour.
1:05 am.
Great.
Then, he saw it.
It was quick, but he saw it.
Her eyes, they opened.
All of a sudden, a rush of emotions ambushed over him.
He couldn't move.
His breathe caught in his throat.
But her eyes, he couldn't look away.
They were not like the calm, relaxed indigo he was familiar with- but a bright, shocking violet.
Her pupils were small, and she seemed to be over come with an unknown fear.
An unsettling fear.
And just like that, they were closed- in the blink of an eye.
