Hi sorry guys i couldn't focus enough on Spring Break to write the next chapter so if you were looking forward to Wednesday and i didn't update I am sorry about disappointing you. Anyways many of you voted for number one, but i was thinking about it and I can't reveal his identity yet. Next time i ask you though i will do the most popular choice. I just didn't feel right revealing his identity, not yet at least. So without further ado Chapter 11.
I start to pull up on Red X's mask, threatening to find out who he is when all of the sudden my hand was stopped by a black glove. I look at who stopped me and it was none other then Red X.
"How..wha?" I start saying.
He does a backflip over the back of the chair and kicks me in the chin, causing me to fall onto Starfire who catches me.
"You know if you're going to tie someone to a chair with rope, you should make sure that someone is watching if he is cutting through it," Red X explained," Robin i expected better from Jump City's super hero team."
"Shut it X just tell us where Raven is," Robin yelled back.
We started to attack him again, in which he started to dodge with ease. This in turn made us start to attack with more enthusiasm.
"I'll tell you just so i can get you out of my hair for a few days," Red X said in between dodges.
We stopped attacking but kept our weapons fixed on him just in case he tried to escape. He relaxed a little and sat on one of the higher shelves sticking out of the wall. It was almost like he was too comfortable, my instincts was screaming something was wrong but i couldn't find what it was. So I sat there and listened to him speak.
"Raven is not as far as you think," He started," She is being held where Beast Boy had his last date, I only said what Slade told me to say,"
"You mean the amusement park?" I asked sheepishly.
"I don't know, I just did this for money, so i wouldn't care anyways," Red X said.
"How can you not care about people?" Cyborg asked," other people help us stay human, I should know."
"Oh I care about people, their names are Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson, Abe Lincoln, and George Washington," He said with a cocky tone.
"But are not those figures of historical importance in this country deceased?" Starfire asked.
"Its just an expression for money Star," Robin explained.
"Oh, that is most humorous," Starfire smiled and giggled.
"I knew you would like it baby," Red X flirted.
Robin jumped between her and Red X in a protective stance,"Don't you have somewhere to be, like jail for theft," Robin asked rhetorically.
"You're right, i do have places to be, not jail though. If I hurry i can take these chemicals to my buyer and still make it in time for my favorite show,"
"And what show is that?" I asked genuinely interested for the moment.
"Why Arrow of course, I know its not really accurate to the real life version of Green Arrow but i like it," Red X replied. "So see yeah."
He jumped into the air and teleported who knows where. Well even though we didn't catch him I wasn't disappointed because I know where Raven is being held. The amusement park, the place of my greatest high and my lowest low. A place right now that's just full of pain from a wound that hasn't completely healed, i fear going back there will re-open it and caused even more scarring. Isn't Raven worth it though, yes i might get hurt but my wounds can heal, if she goes full demon mode to survive she might never heal from those wounds. It still feels suspicious though Slade wouldn't want the whole world destroyed or he wouldn't have customers either. What is his real purpose? Why kidnap her if that's not his play? Listen to yourself Beastboy you're turning into Robin. I continue to have my little pep talk/evaluation all the way back to the tower and fall on Raven's bed, I've noticed i was spending a lot more time in here than usual. The smell makes me feel close to her again like i can reach out and touch her again. I must have dozed off because the next time i looked at the clock four hours have passed, being pretty late i went to my room and took off my uniform and shoes, getting to ready to go to bed. However as soon as I get in bed I become restless, I decide to write to get my mind relaxed and help me sleep.
Day 25
Hi Rae, well i got good news and bad news, good news is we know where you are yay! Bad news is that its at the amusement park and Idk how i'm going to react or how much it is going to hurt. However I'll gladly live there if I can be with you again with your love, and get there before you turn into full demon mode. But if i can't i will prepare myself and my emotions long enough that if you are full demon i would be able to kill you. I don't want to though, you are too beautiful to be destroyed. You are a rose, though you might not be white or Red you are a Rose nonetheless and even if you have black petals you are so full of life. I've seen it all I know what those petals hide but you are a rose still. Bees still pollinate you just like every other flower in the garden, you grow from the same soil, and absorb the same sun. Yes you are a black Rose, but a rose nonetheless and don't let anyone tell you differently.
I close my journal and put it back into my desk and fell asleep on my bottom bunk. I woke up with a feeling a familiarity, maybe it was from my dream but i don't remember it. I walk to the bathroom and take a shower and brush my teeth, I rinse my mouth out and look back at the mirror and behind and to the side of me was Slade. I flipped around to face him but he wasn't there, i looked back at the mirror and see Raven.
"Help me," She said.
I turned around again and no one was there again, so i look back and see her in full demon form with everything burning around her.
"I trusted you and you failed to protect me and for that you will burn, hahaha," She yelled.
My image in the mirror started burning and melting and i could only watch as i saw mirror image melt into a puddle. She snaps out of it and looks at my remains.
"What have I done? I killed Beastboy my love, the only one that could save me," Raven sobs.
"Its not your fault Raven," I recognize the voice as Slade's," Its his."
He looks at me through the mirror and i bolt up awake in my bed scared out of my mind, i look at the time and see that it is 5:46 a.m. its too early to wake up so I go back asleep hopefully with a better dream this time.
