Primal Instinct

“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.

 

He closes his eyes, and drifts off into a sleep. He closes his eyes for a moment, and is in true happiness, when his reality is once again realized as the alarm goes off.

 

“Damn it…” he mutters under his breath, and goes into he main hall.

 

As he walks to the living room, he notices his shadow. It is normal, except there is one difference. It is moving normally, but then he goes to step forward, and he puts his foot behind instead. The shadow steps forward, but then corrects itself. He stares at it blankly. Then, out of it shifts the beast.

 

“What do you want?” he asks.

 

“You know,” it responds, “I know you're feeling differently about him. I can feel it too. You would like nothing more than to see him dead, wouldn't you?”

 

“NO I WOULDN'T!” he almost screams, but doesn't in fear of what the others might think. “Look, I don't want anyone hurt. I just want to clear this up.”

 

“But there is no way to do that unless you kill him! Don't you see?”

 

“Call me blind.” He continues down the hall, but it is as if it never ends. “What are you doing to me?”

 

“I'm helping! You need help, and I am your psychiatrist, but he paradox is, I am the same as you, I AM you! So the only way to get help, is to help yourself, and the only way to do that…” The beast pauses for Beast Boy to finish.

 

“… Kill… Crow…” his eyes are wide, and he turns to the beast and yells, “I won't. I refuse to!”

 

“Oh, come on! Do it for ME; Do it for YOURSELF.”

 

“FUCK OFF!”

 

“Very well. You will come back to me for help, again, and that time, I m confident you will give in.” The beast curls up, and then explodes in a roar, and disappears within Beast Boy.

 

Beast Boy walks into the living room, and is not greeted.

 

“Well, you're late. Where have you been?” Crow says. The memory of before is fresh in his mind.

 

“I was thinking,” he says angrily. His pupils are red, rather than pink. No one seems to notice.

 

“Well, there's a robbery downtown,” Robin says at the computer.

 

“Seems easy enough,” Cyborg says, and Starfire agrees.

 

“Let's just go already,” Raven says, walking toward the exit. Crow follows.

 

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

 

“Alright, boys, put the money in the truck,” A man in a ski mask says to a bunch of muscular lackeys, “I heard the alarm go off. The Teen Titans have a tendency to hear those.”

 

“Uh, Boss?” One says, and Crow and Robin, who are fighting perfectly symmetrically, knock him unconsus.

 

“Shit…” The other says. He drops the money, and punches them away.

 

“AZARATH METREON ZINTHOS!” Raven screams, and Crow joins in, knocking the man unconsus.

 

“BOO-YA!” Cyborg yells, as Starfire throws him at the opponents. He blasts 3 unconsus.

 

“Where is Beast Boy?” Starfire asks, and just then, the main robber runs for it.

 

“Suckers!” he says, fingering his gun in his pocket. He hasn't used it, and he's about to get away. Just then, a green Wolf begins to chase him, and pins him down.

 

“NO! NO! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!” the robber screams, as Beast Boy bites his neck, and tears out a chunk of it. The robber screams in pain as he dies. Beast Boy becomes human again, and wipes the blood off of his mouth. He turns into raptor and then uncontrollably rips the body to pieces.

 

“What the fuck are you doing?!” Crow screams at Beast Boy and he transforms back to human.

 

“Once a criminal, always a criminal. Putting him behind bars would do nothing!” he says, but he notices his voice isn't his own. It is the beasts.

 

“Who are you?” Crow asks, eyes wide.

 

Beast Boy is speechless. “I'm… I… don't know…” He says as he transforms back, and runs back to the tower.

 

“What happe- UGH! CROW!” Cyborg says disgusted at the remains of the criminal.

 

“I don't leave bite marks,” Crow says pointing to the man's neck.

 

“Beast Boy…” Robin says in shock. “This happened before, but not killing…”

 

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

 

“WHAT DID I DO?!” Beast Boy screams at himself in his room, in a shard of mirror. His voice is normal.

 

“You enjoyed it didn't you? The blood, the flesh, you are sick!” He says like Gollum in LOTR.

 

“NO! I DIDN'T!”

 

“Yes… You imagined him being…”

 

“NO! I'M NOT LISTENING!”

 

“CROW!” He sees his eyes are red… Blood red…

 

“I don't want this…. What is happening?” he asks himself.

 

“You think I know? You're losing the boy. You are becoming stronger. Emotions are peeling away until you are nothing but beast!” The mirror image turns to the beast and then gets out of the mirror and stands beside him.

 

“You must kill him!”

 

“NEVER!” he screams, and he turns into a wolf, and tackles the beast. He can feel the heartbeat, and then, he sees it is himself. He is now the beats, and then, in an instant, he is the one on the ground.

“YOU FOOL! I AM NOT ASKING I AM TELLING!”

 

“Get off!” Beast Boy screams in tears.

 

“Kill him!”

 

“NEVER!” Beast Boy screams and he impales his arm through the beast. IT falls over, and disappears. It is dead.

 

“I'm back! I'M NORMAL AGAIN!”

 

There is a knock on the door.

 

“Beast Boy, we need to talk!” Robin's voice says from outside.
