Mike: It's official, my friends. I'm stepping this story up to an R rating.
HeavenDemon: Mike says he wants more freedom to write whatever he wants, and not have to worry about the rating.
Myora: Who knows? Now, maybe the story will stop being boring
Mike: Damn it Myora, shut up! You're just bitter I removed your story.
Myora: Well...yeah.
Centara: Don't complain. He started putting up the new version of your original story on Fictionpress.
Myora: Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Now all I need are some reviews. Hint hint, people!
HeavenDemon: Stop leeching off my fans.
Myora: Self rightous bastard...
Mike: ANYWAY! On with the chapter, folks!
Beast Boy snuggled against Siren, sighing happily. Siren had her eyes closed, a smile on her face. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she sat up.
"Something wrong?" Beast Boy asked, a look of concern on his face.
"I just thought of something," Siren said, her face a firey scowl. "I never got back at Centara for torturing me. Vampires heal fast, but I can't regrow my ear. She marred my perfect beauty. That can't be forgiven."
Beast Boy sat up as well. "So, what do you propose we do?" he asked.
Siren smirked. "Not we, you. Hunt her down and kill her. And make sure the others know it was you."
Beast Boy flinched slightly. Siren didn't notice. "Are...you sure that's a good idea? The Titans will double they're efforts looking for us if we do something like that."
"Hmm," began Siren, looking at Beast Boy oddly. "I don't think you need we need to worry about that.They're already devoting all their timeto us.But I don't think that's what's bothering you. You still have feelings for Centara, don't you?"
"No I don't!" replied Beast Boy, but his face told a different story.
"Really?" asked Siren, curling her lip in amusement, "Then why don't you prove it to me? Kill her, Gar."
Beast Boy froze for a minute, not saying anything. Then, he slowly rose to his feet. He smiled, flashing his sharp teeth. They had a hint of red on them. "Just leave everything to the new and improved Beast Boy!"
(Unknown Location)
Starfire opened her eyes, her vision clouded. She was staring at a granite floor, and realized she was chained to a chair. As she rasied her head, she saw a coffee table with a bowl of strawberries on it, and Insanity sleeping on the floor. She pulled at her chains, but she was feeling weak, and the chains were wound too tight for her to break free. She tried forming a starbolt, but its wouldn't come. Suddenly, Insanity's eyes fluttered open. He began laughing, and rose into the air, landing on his feet. He continued to laugh as he walked toward Starfire.
"Are the strawberries...some sort of twisted torture device?" Starfire asked, her voice shaky.
Insanity rasied an eyebrow, and began laughing even harder. "No! They're just strawberries! What is wrong with you people? Why aren't allowed to like human blood AND strawberries!"
Starfire thought for a moment, and shrugged. "I suppose there is no reason."
Insanity sighed. "Thank you. Now then..." Starfire tensed up, preparing for whatever was coming. "Let's talk." Insanity sat crosslegged in front of her.
"You fiend! I'll never...wait, what?"
Insanity laughed. "Oh, I'm sorry, did you have an 'I'll never give in' speech ready for me? Well, save it. You might need it later. But for now, I just want to chat."
"This is a trick!" yelled Starfire.
Insanity rolled his eyes. "Oh, yes. I'm trying to figure out a way to negate the clear advantage over me. You know, seeing as you're chained to a chair."
Starfire lowered her head. "I suppose you have a point."
Insanity laughed. "So, the first topic: Robin."
Starfire flinched slightly, but said nothing.
"Why is it that you two insist on denying the feelings that you have for each other? I mean, everyone else can see it. It drives me insane." Insanity chuckled slightly. "I think I just made a pun or something."
Starfire looked suprised. "I...Robin is very important to me, but I don't know how he feels about me..."
Insanity threw back his head and laughed. "Are you kidding me, Green Eyes? Haven't you noticed the way he acts around you? He stumbles over his own words."
Starfire thought this over for a moment. "Then...why has he never said anything to me?" she asked slowly.
"Well, of course he's not going to say anything to you about it!" Insanity laughed. "He's far to much a gentleman to do something about that. No, he would much sooner let his feelings eat at him from the inside, until he's nothing more then a hollow shell. It's really quite sad, actually." Insanity sprang to his feet, laughing. He turned his back to Starfire, and began to walk away. "Well, what you insects do with your lives is none of my concern, anyway." He said. Starfire blinked, and he seemed to disappear. Then, she gasped, as she felt his hot breath on the back of her neck. "However," he whispered, "You amuse me, just the same." He sank his teeth into Starfire's neck, and the screaming began.
(The Streets of Jump City)
Centara and Raven had split up. Raven continued to scan the skies, while Centara had taken to the streets. She had been walking for some time, but had yet to see any sign of movement.She sighed, as she began searching another alley. Suddenly, she saw a flash of grren from the corner of her eye. She whirled around, a faint glow of fire forming around her,
"Beast Boy?" she called softly, "That you, Beasty?" She slowly rotated, searching for another sign of him. "Just talk to me. If you're there, come on out." She heard a snarling sound, and a green wolf lunged at her from behind a Dumpster. She braced herself for the impact, and the wolf slammed into her. As the wolf pinned her to the ground, she managed to hold his jaws away from her. Then, the wolf turned into Beast Boy. Centara gasped when she saw his face. It was different.He wore a terrible smile.
"Remember me, cutie?" he smirked, and lowered his head to bite her neck. Centara threw him off, and rose to her feet.
"She sired you," she spoke slowly. "We're too late. She took away your humanity."
Beast Boy laughed, rising to his feet. "What humanity? I'm Beast Boy. I'm a beast. I never had any humanity. No, she didn't take anything away from me, but she gave me oh so much." He flashed his sharp teeth.
"Just listen to yourself, BB!" Centara shouted, "That woman is sadistic! She views you as a toy!"
Beast Boy shrugged. "It doesn't really matter what you say, at this point." Beast Boy's nails extended. "I'm going to kill you. But before that, I think I'll rip off your ear." Beast Boy swiped at her head. Centara ducked, and hit Beast Boy in the jaw with a punch. He didn't move an inch, and smiled at her. "You're going easy on me, aren't you? He slashed Centara across the stomach.
(Insanity's Hideout)
Starfire moaned, blood covering her. Insanity stood in front of her, smiling, his teeth dripping with red liquid. He bent over her, and began to lick her body clean of the blood. She protested weakly, but could do nothing. At this moment, a door burst open, revealing a enraged Robin.
Insanity looked up at him. "Yo."
Robin's breath was ragged. "You...bastard." he grunted through clenched teeth. "I'll fucking kill you! I'll beat you to a bloody pulp!"
Insanity looked amused. "Is that so?" He grabbed Starfire by the hair, and lifted her up. "I'm guessing you want this back?" He licked a drop of blood off her shirt.
Robin pulled out his staff. "I won't forgive you for this, bastard! You die tonight!"
