Chapter sixteen
"Your…'job'…"
Beast boy's shoulders were drooping. He was physically tired and mentally shattered. The thoughts that had been swimming in his usually 'empty' mind were frightening him slightly.
But they weren't nearly as scary as the angry, determined telekinetic which stood before them. Further than that Beast boy still felt some feelings for her. Of course he did. He cared about Terra – but he loved Raven.
But now…
What was he supposed to do? Destroy his friend? She seemed to have gone insane or something – there was a new and horrible glint in her once pale blue eyes giving them a darker feel, an unspeakable one which made his stomach twist and turn.
"Terra…"
"Terra," said the Azarathian, presently. She thrust her chin up. "What do you mean?"
"I mean what I said, smart witch," growled Terra, her eyes fixing on Raven. "I'm going to destroy you all. Piece by piece – bit by bit."
"Why?" Starfire chipped in, hovering behind Raven's billowing cloak. "What did we do to displease you?"
"It's nothing personal, Starfire," replied the blonde coolly. "Blame her."
Raven looked on silently as the finger pointed at her. Straight at her as if it were to go through her heart. She blinked.
"What did I do, Terra?"
"What did you do!" ranted the skinny teenager, dropping her fighting pose and rubbing her head whilst slightly chuckling.
She looked up angrily, those new cold eyes glaring, glowering at the Azarathian.
"You ruined everything! You took my friends, you took my boyfriend, you became more powerful than me and then – this is the icing on the cake – then you take a shot which was meant for me!"
"Wait a minute, T!" interjected the android, shaking his head in disbelief. "You wanted to be hit by that shot!"
"No, of course I didn't you idiot," spat the angry telekinetic, baring her teeth. "But because Miss Martyr took the shot it made me look like the bad guy. I had him! I could have killed that miscreant any time I wanted to! And she had to interrupt and ruin it, ruin EVERYTHING."
The five titans stood there looking at the manic girl. She had a wild fire in her eyes and on her lips and it wasn't hard to see that she had finally toppled over the edge. She was no more the quirky, fun friend they had known.
This was a new Terra, a different Terra, a psycotic Terra. And it frightened everyone – including Raven.
"What…happened to you?" she stammered out eventually, her lilac hair blowing across her face. "You aren't making any sense, Terra."
"Oh, but I am," snarled the girl, pulling her goggles down over her eyes. "I'm making the most sense I've made in a long time."
"Please," Robin ran next to Raven and looked at Terra, pleadingly. "Terra, this isn't the way to solve anything."
Terra glanced at Robin. She narrowed her eyes. "Oh? And what would be the way?"
She paused, but didn't wait for an answer. She threw her head back in mock laughter.
"To come back to the tower and pretend like everything is okay? To watch Miss Prissy-Demure Goth Witch swan around like she owns the place? To do a runner? To watch whilst my whole world falls apart?"
The mock laughter stopped, and the red hot face flew back down, again grimacing and staring at the team, frenzied and fierce.
"Well I'm sorry Robin. But things just don't work like that."
"Terra!" Beast boy finally broke his vow of silence and ran forwards. "Don't do this, I really don't want you to do this."
"Sorry, BB," replied the young woman, her hair blowing in the breeze. There was a genuine hint of sorrow in the voice which the green man felt before it was shattered by the ice. "But if I can't have you, no one will."
Sorry for slow update…been ill…
