Chapter Three : She's Alive!
Beast Boy stayed with Terra in the infirmary for most of the day. None of the others bothered to ask why, since they all knew quite well why he was up there with her.
He just knelt beside her, staring at her pale face that was covered in bruises and cuts. Slade had hurt her badly, that he knew, yet he couldn't do anything to change what she'd gone through and seen in the time with she was with him.
She was breathing steadily, though she had only stopped once. He loved every single detail of her beautiful form. He even loved how she breathed. It was light and shallow. She cooed once or twice, giving her the aura that she was sleeping serenely, not unconcious.
"I love you Terra," he told her sweetly, kissing her bruised forehead.
Nightfall approached quickly and by midnight, Beast Boy was out like a light, sleeping next to Terra's beautiful, sleeping form.
And by a burst of faith or a sudden miracle, Terra's body began to regain it's lost life. Like she was being pumped life into her body, giving her strength.
Her eyes fluttered open gently, but her vision was completely foggy. Nonetheless, she saw green, which she smiled softly at.
Terra blinked a few times, bringing her vision into focus.
Her smile became a bit wider when she did acknowledge that Beast Boy was beside her. Her hand touched his cheek gently, feeling the warmth from his face on her cold bare hand. He stirred a bit from her cold touch but quickly fell back asleep.
"Beast Boy..."
He heard his name being called, but thought it was the Terra in his dream. She was sitting by herself in an all white outfit, with two small violet wings on her back.
She had become an angel.
His angel.
"Beast Boy..."
She called his name again.
"Beast Boy!"
It was sharper this time. She was getting impatient and he knew it.
"C'mon Beast Boy...wake up...I need you..."
The voice that called to him was more angelic than usual and it sounded alot like...
No. It can be her, can it?
'Terra's unconcious next to me,' Beast Boy told himself, 'If she's unconcious, then how can she be talking? Am I insane...?'
He felt cold but soft hands flutter over his cheeks, their finger tips gracing his face, trying to coax him to awaken. Beast Boy decided to open his eyes slowly, making Terra gasp slightly, her hand still on his cheek.
"Terra..." he breathed, looking upon her angelic serentity that graced her expression, putting his hand over hers and holding onto it like she'd leave him.
"It's me, Beast Boy," she said, tears running down her face, "I'm alive."
Beast Boy shot up from his laying postion and scopped Terra up in his arms, hugging her tightly, hardly believing what was happening.
Terra giggled at his reaction and just let him hold her, snuggling up gently into his chest, her head resting on his shoulder.
"You don't know how happy this makes me Terra," he told her, "I love you."
Upon hearing this, Terra pulled away from his arms, looking at him quite confused.
"You...love me...?" she asked, not trusting her ears.
He nodded slowly, not understanding why she was taking this the way she was taking it.
Terra stood up, running her fingers through her hair.
"But why?" Tears begged to drip down her cheeks as she couldn't bring herself to understand, "Why after everything I've done to you? All the lies...Why? Why me?"
Terra began to break down in sobs as she slumped to her knees, crying in her hands in her own insecurities. Beast Boy knelt down by her side, rubbing her back soothingly.
"I don't care what you've done, Terra. Everything you've done. It doesn't matter to me. I made a promise to myself that I'll never let anything get in the way of loving you again," Beast Boy told her, "I love you Terra. No matter what happens. No matter what you did."
"But why? Nobody has ever stuck by me like this. Why now?" she asked, looking up at him with tear stained cheeks.
"Everyone else that told you they loved you, lied. I haven't lied to you about this. I'm telling you the truth."
Terra was silent after that. Her tears subsided as she began to trust his words and taken peace in them.
She looked up at him, her eyes radiating confusion and hurt.
"Slade won't ever hurt you again, Terra. I know what he did to you and he won't ever do it again," Beast Boy promised her.
Terra flung her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly, "Promise?"
"Promise."
That last part always makes me feel happy. Review please.
I know I promised Raven and Robin in here and I'm getting to it. I'm just not exactly used to it and I'm afraid I'll get flamed for putting them out of character. Eventually there'll be some RaexRob.
Luv ya guys,
