I'm back with a new chapter. It's been a few days, I know, but I'm updating! Now, this chapter is somewhat slow and unimportant, but I needed to add it in for purposes that will come later. It's also rather short, so I'll try to get the third one up soon (I'll be introducing the new character! Yay!).
Thanks for reviewing, people!
Monchhichi: Thanks! I like depressing fics too, which is weird, but I still can't resist them!
GarfieldBeastboyCipes-RachelRavenStrong: I'm updating now, and thanks for putting me on alert!
lil xelle: I know it's sad, just the way I like it! Oh, and you'll just have to wait and see if she comes back: )
KuroNeko1392: Thank you for loving it! And you're going to have to wait and see, too: ) : ) : )
Now, on with the chapter!
Sitting there on that same rock was all he could do. This was the place were many things happened. How painful it was to remember.
-Flashback-
"But that beast –––it's still inside of me. I can feel it."
"Good. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here right now. Having that beast inside of you doesn't make you an animal. Knowing when to let it out is what makes you a man."
He looked up at her and gave her the biggest, best, most genuine smile he could.
-End Flashback-
It was one of the best moments he could have had. And it was gone. Forever.
Thinking back more, he could see another distant memory. This one was one of the greatest. He was close to telling the truth that day . . .
-Flashback-
"I wanted to say I'm sorry," he said through the door.
"But you're not the who–––"
"No. I'm sorry he broke your heart."
"I know it was all a lie," she said slowly, "but he was the only one who didn't make me feel––– creepy. And don't try to tell me I'm not."
"Okay, fine," he said, shaking his hands, "you're way creepy. But that doesn't mean you have to stay locked in your room." He paused. "You think you're alone, Raven, but you're not."
The door separating them slid open, and she wrapped her arms around him as she embraced him in a powerful, heartfelt hug. At first, he didn't know how to react, but then as they pulled apart, he opened his mouth to tell her the truth.
-End Flashback-
He grudgingly pulled back into reality, slowly the pain returning like venom of a snakebite, spreading to every last cell of his body.
No, you can't! he screamed defiantly in his mind. You can't take her away! You CAN'T!
He gazed angrily out at the water, fighting the internal pain, even though he knew it was of no use. He could feel it in the core of his heart ––– the pain would eat at him until the day he died.
Staring out into the fog, he clenched his fists and screamed. He screamed with agony and sorrow, pain and suffering. He screamed long and hard, reaching to the ends of the universe.
But no sound came out of his mouth.
He held his face in his hands, weeping sorrowfully. I can't . . . it's just . . . he thought despairingly. A stifled sob escaped his lips.
And when he looked up, he realized that he was not alone.
