Crow: Hey!

 

Disclaimer: Hey, don't bother me! I'll do it, bitch! So get back in the story, minion!

 

Crow: *Grumble, grumble…*

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

 

The mirror is shattered, and Beast Boy has a bloody slash down his back, and when he puts his hand on his head, he realizes it is in the form of a claw. He backs away, and everything goes black. He is in a black room, and is his inner boy. He looks around, and the only other being there, is a beast… it is looking into his eyes, and in a deep, growl of a voice, speaks in his mind, without moving it's mouth.

 

“I am your reality,” it says, as Beast Boy stares in fear, “I am the beast within…”

 

“You…” he says in fear, paralyzed. He can see his breath, and is sweating. He is now, for once, as serious as he was when Terra ran away for the first time, and when this same beast overcame him.

 

“Yes, I am the beast that is inside you. I'm the monster that broke out a long time ago,” it growls, looking away for the time being.

 

“But…” he struggles to talk to it, “why are you back?”

 

“I never left, remember? I have always been inside you, lying dormant. I am your instinct, and a major part of you. No amount of medicine, or drugs can get rid of me.”

 

“Why now? I don't understand…” Beast Boy says, backing away, and trips over onto his back.

 

The beast leans over him, looking him in the eyes, “You have an internal disturbance. Something in wrong in your heart, and you are compensating for it by bringing me out from my dormancy.” He looks at Beast Boy, who is confused, and sighs. “You brought me here because you're lonely.” Beast Boy nods in understanding.

 

“Lonely because of…” Beast Boy awaits for the Beast to fill in the rest.

 

“Because it was in injustice that Crow is alive, and the one who you find most important is not! Crow shouldn't even exist, and yet, he stands in that room, instead of Terra!” Beast Boy's eyes go wide, and he falls to his knees. Tears run down his face, and memories he has never even had come up from inside. Memories that Crow slipped to him by accident…

 

Beast Boy sees Terra make a Rock-armor, and turns her arm into a rock sword. She lunges at Crow, and he dodges skillfully.

 

Crow makes an Azarath Metreon Zinthi armor, and arm sword, and attacks her.

 

They talk as they fight, and Crow smiles evilly.

 

He breaks her armor, and kicks her in the chest. Their fighting keeps getting more intense, as they begin to back off of the island, but she makes pedestals raise as not to get wet. He slashed her right under her neck, and then down her shoulders. They begin to fist fight, and then stop. They appear fine, but then, scratches appear all over Terra, and her shirt falls apart like a flap, only on her chest. Revealing… well… you know…

 

Beast Boy watches as Crow laughs at her and makes a few comments. She impales his arm, and they continue. He knocks her down, and makes a shirt out of sand, and they lunge at each other.

 

They stop, with her head over his shoulder, and he whispers into her ear. He lets go of Terra, and she stands back. She turns around, and then her neck spurts blood. Her head falls off, and she dies.

 

He drops her body into a black hole, and he disappears. And reappears in the house.

 

Meanwhile, Terra's body come out of the portal under the ocean, and is passed by a zombie Rorek. He brings her to life, but as the mindless undead undead zombie Beast boy faced at the bridge.

 

The memory fades out. Beast boy looks up in anger. He sees the eyes of the beast. The eyes look strange. Everything looks familiar, and accepting, but the eyes look… different… dark… they have a reddish glow that somewhat frightens him. They look un accepting, dark, evil… they seem to be alien to him, even though the beast is a part of him. He realizes tears are flowing from his eyes, and his surroundings are becoming visible, but barely.

 

“You mean… he killed her… and he's why she isn't back?” he cries. The beast nods.

 

“She would have stayed if he had not killed her. And when mortal magic brings someone to life, their motive is lost, and he who resurrects it can only control it. He killed her forever.” The beast says, and Beast Boy lets out a wave of tears.

 

“Wait… the zombies turn to dust when their motives are completed… wouldn't she just disappear?” he says with tears still in his eyes.

 

“She was preserved in stone. Even if she was mentally a zombie, her body was still completely alive. She had a pulse, she breathed, she was still human, but working for someone.”

 

“Why?” he asks in tears.

 

“SO MANY QUESTIONS?” The beast roars, “He wanted to live, and for that, he killed, which is not right either way!”

 

“But… how can I do something?”

 

“You can avenge her. Make the word balanced again. One person who should be dead is still alive, you know…” The beast smiles, and Beast Boy looks up.

 

“YOU WANT ME TO KILL HIM DON'T YOU?!” he screams in anger.

 

“I merely want you to save the world! If he went unnoticed on earth once, and was found, then he will be found again! Zombies will raise again, and it will be Raven's fault!” The beast says. All the while, Beast Boy can't take his eyes off of the beast's.

 

“Then she will be back!”

 

“NO SHE WON'T! SHE WAS KILLED BY DECAPITATION! THE ZOMBIE CANNOT RETURN IF IT IS DECAPITATED!” The beast slashes him, and he screams.

 

“I won't kill him… I can't! I don't want to!”

 

“Well, I'm a part of you, aren't I? If I believe he should be dead, then somewhere in your heart, you must too!”

 

“That's… I WON'T DO IT!” he says as the beast slashes him, and he screams again, and closes his eyes. He opens his eyes, and the beast is gone, and so is the darkness. The room is damages though. Claw marks are on the walls, and the mirror is shattered.

 

Beast boy looks at himself, and he screams as he sees wounds, slash marks un his chest, and back.

 

He opens a drawer and takes out bandages, and covers the cuts, and puts on a new suit.

 

Crow barges into his room, and is followed by the others. They see the mirror and the slashes on the walls, but his wounds are hidden.

 

“We heard screaming,” Robin says, adrenaline pumping, “What happened here?”\

 

Beast Boy looks at Crow, and is suddenly hit with extreme anger. “Nothing…” he lies, as he stares at Crow. His heart is pumping, and he can hear his urges. The beast was right… he wants to kill him, but he won't - that's wrong, no mater how right it would feel.

 

“What?” Crow asks Beast Boy who looks at him angrily.

 

“Nothing…” Beast Boy says angrily.

 

“You seem pissed off at him. Are you sure nothing is wrong?” Robin asks, and Beast Boy looks at him in rage.

 

“Leave.”

 

“Lets go. I know he wants to be left alone to do what ever whatever he is does.” Crow storms out. The others follow.

 

“Asshole…” Beast Boy says under his breath, and he lies down. “He was right…” Beast Boy sighs, “I DO hate him…”

 

And all of a sudden, Beast Boy's pupils change as he blinks from pink… to a glowing red… then back.
