Vampires beast

chapter 2

new beginnings

the sun rose like it did every other day, birds singing and all that stuff. But for one green boy it was not every other day. It was the day he was planning on telling the guys of his...predicament...he had thought for a long time, a week in fact (he hadn't left his room) he had decided that they were his friends and he was gonna trust that they would trust him...(he hopes).

"is friend beast boy ok?" sulked starfire, she really missed her green friend.

"for the millionth time, he's fine...hes just upset over something" said the cruel yet logical tone of raven,

"i know" cyborg chipped in "if it wasn't for the life signature coming from his room, I would think the little grass stain had kicked it by now"

"well, nice to see you all care about me so much." they all turned to see a rather weak looking, a lot skinnier, very pale, and a very tired looking green boy looking back at them.

"BEAST BOY" starfire screeched as she pulled him into one of her bone crunching hugs.

"yo dude, where you been?" cyborg joked...

"just thinking, u no"

...they all were a little shocked at this, not only had beast boy been thinking for a week, but he was actually admitting to doing so!.

"i kinda need to talk to rob though" ... "alone" he mentioned after they showed no signs of moving...

they all got up and left, smiling at him as they went past.

"come over here...have a seat." said a...now quite curious robin.

Beast boy slowly walked over and sat next to robin,

"so whats up beast boy"

there was silence for a while, while beast boy seemed to compose himself...

"ok, erm, what would you say, if I was to tell you I...erm...i...wasn't...if I wasn't a good guy."

he then waited knowing and understanding robins confusion,

"beast boy, you do remember your on a super hero team don't you?" he said with a slight smile creeping up his face, 'what was beast boy getting at?'...

"yea, yea,its not that its just that...well...you know how raven is...well supposed to hurt people and stuff,..."

"yea"

"well...so am I...sorta...i wasn't born to hurt others...but I was kinda created to...more recently..."

"beast boy, I..." the smile was gone off robins face now "beast boy, could you tell me exactly what you mean...what do you mean 'created'"

"i mean," he looked at his hands "i mean that, several years before I met you guys...something happened...something bad...and I didn't...i couldn't remember...i had amnesia you see...and recently...especially this last week...i keep remembering my past...and its got worse...i...well now i remember...everything...i keep thinking...what if I turn that way again?...i was horrible and cruel...i don't wanna be that again...at least...I don't think I do?"

he paused at that last thought...did he want to be that, that creature...did he really wanna drink that...that...sweet ...luscious...soothing...blood?...

NO! ...he wouldn't...he couldn't ...he wanted it...he wanted it sooo bad, but he wouldn't...he wouldn't let himself ...fall...that deep...no!

"beast boy?" he looked up to see robin looking very worried, "are you ok?"

"yea, yes, I'm...I'm good, I'm fine."

"beast boy, what you where, no matter what it was, its not you, not now...just because you remember does not mean you don't have a choice to change from what you were before"

he smiled at beast boy, who smiled, ever so slightly back. 'maybe I don't have to tell him about this...he's already helped me without knowing' beast boy smiled at robin

"I've got some things to sort out so, ill...ill tell you the rest later yeh." he smiled at robin and left quickly.

as he walked through the corridors he started thinking of his abilities...'maybe I should get some practice in, it may come in useful!', with that he left for the training room.

the days past by, beast boy found his powers becoming more and more ...well...powerful!. he could jump from the roof of the tower and land on his feet without a scratch on him?...(don't ask how he figured THAT out).

He was hitting the punching bag, he hit a little to hard and it flew across the room and made an indent on the wall,

"shit" he mumbled under his breath, he thought back

'he was walking into the common room and heard voices behind the door,

he didn't want to be eavesdropping, but when he heard his name he leaned in closer...

"well, its kinda weird don't ya think"...robin?... "i mean, beast boy, he's hiding something,..."

"maybe it has some involvement in his amineesier friend robin?" ...yep that was defiantly starfire,

"it's amnesia, and I think your right...i mean he did say he was afraid of becoming like he was before? Correct?" said the ever logical raven,

"yea, he did, but he did sound kind of unsure..." answered robin "...i mean, he said he was cruel, you know the bad guy... what do you think he was like...you know...before?"

...silence...

"well...he's always been...a kinda...you know...annoying little freak" said cyborg

...at this beast boy had had enough, he opened the door

"and WHAT do you mean by that?"

...they all looked shocked at beast boys sudden anger...it was odd to see his usually cheery face, darkened by the fear and resentment he now felt...

"i didn't mean it in a bad way!, I just...well I just...kinda meant that you were...you know ...different...a erm...kinda a..."

"FREAK" shouted a very pissed off beast boy.

...there was a crunch, they all turned to see beast boys hand griping to the side of the door frame, obviously tighter then he meant to, as the titanium was crumpled like paper under his palm...

"how the hell?" said cyborg, a little upset at the damage to his walls.

Beast boy quickly ran out...

he came out of his daze, slowly turning to look at the demolished punch bag, that was just one of the problems he was now facing. He knew that the titans didn't suspect to much...but still, he had to be careful.

He took of his shirt, it was a really warm day, and according to the news, it was going to get hotter, He began working on the weights, suddenly, he heard the door open...
