Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 8,

Beast Boy heard rushed feet scurry across the floor, out the door and into the hallway. But his door did not open.

I can't just bother him two nights in a row.

Especially with the dream you just had.

You don't think it's true do you, Raven. Beast Boy cares about us.

There was a small pause.

Raven, Beast Boy cares about us, right?

I don't know anymore.

Another pause.

What we are doing reminds me of that scene in The Exorcist where the priest throws himself out the window and he falls down all those stairs.

I see what you mean.

Beast Boy quietly got out of bed and cracked his door open slightly and saw Raven standing at the top of the staircase while looking down.

We could just fall forward, end it all, and the Titans wouldn't know that it was a suicide.

How many times are we going to stand up here and think that?

I have defeated Trigon so I do not have to worry about him gaining other children. I could die and no one would care.

Beast Boy would care.

I don't know if that's true.

We liked him back when he called Robin 'sir' and wore that Doom Patrol mask.

I remember that day, you saw his face for the first time and I was created.

We don't care, Love.

But you should care, I was created because of Beast Boy and now was are a step away from death because of our inability to be loved by Beast Boy.

But what if our dream is correct? What if he never cared about us.

Even if that is true, is it really worth killing ourselves over?

Knowledge is right. I have trained with the monks of Azarathe to suppress my emotions so I could use my powers. I have always known that being loved was never an option for me. But we can never be loved by another because I am half demon and no one could love a half-demon.

You didn't think like that when Malchior was around you.

Raven sighed and sat down which calmed the anxious Beast Boy.

Malchior pretended to care and pretended to be interested with what I have to say. He made me feel loved and important, but it was all fake.

You Know, Lust, you have been very quiet.

Of course, I am.

After seeing six Beast Boys we wouldn't expect you to be quiet.

There is nothing sexy about rape, Rude.

Hard to argue with that.

May I ask a question?

What is it Memory?

Is what you felt with Malchior less than, greater than, or equal to the love you felt when you fell asleep with Beast Boy?

There was a pause, which Beast Boy expected as Raven recalled the different events.
