Hey peeps. It has been a long time since writing, so I have decided to start over. If I don't get 5 reviews it goes bye bye. Here it goes:
Chapter 1: Alpha and Omega
Beast Boy sat on top of the tower watching the sun settle down for the night. He was obviously in thought, but no other titan ventured out to find out why. The other titans were too busy talking about their last victory to care about him anyways, or so he thought. "I just wonder," BB said to himself, "if she feels as alone as I do." As the sun lowered down to earth, Beast boy sighed and lifted his head to catch the cool breeze that was blowing past him. "It doesn't matter," he muttered. "If what Raven says is true then we are all dead anyways and there is no way to change it." He looked to the doorway imagining that Raven was standing there listening to him. "If you only knew," he whispered. "I don't want to die, but I would. I would so you could live." He paused to shed a tear. "I love you," he mouthed. "I don't want you to hurt, and I don't either." Slowly, the green changeling got up from his post and walked over to the door. "God," he prayed. "There has to be some other way." Little did he know that there was another individual asking the same questions on the other side of the tower who heard his voice. "Beast Boy?" she asked. "Is that you?" BB gasped and blushed. "Yes," he shyly replied.
"What are you doing up here?" she asked. Beast Boy didn't see her and only heard her voice. "Thinking," he said, rather boldly.
"That must be a first," the girl shot off jokingly. Beast Boy frowned. "Actually," he started, "it is pretty serious."
"What to talk about it?" the girl asked. She stepped out from the darkness so Beast Boy could see her. "I have learned that sharing problems helps with the pain."
"That is the thing," Beast boy said, stepping closer to the girl. "Raven, I have to admit, this prophecy thing does scare me, but the thing that scares me the most is how I…err...we may never see you again."
"B," Raven said. "I don't think you understand. I will be fine. It is you and our friends that will not."
"I know that we could be finished, Raven," Beast Boy said. "The thing is that I care too much to see anything happen to you. Let's be honest. I don't know you as well as I should, but I don't want to see this happen. Not to you. I will find some way to…?"
"There is no way!" Raven said calmly. "My father is coming to destroy this world and nothing can keep him away…?"
"What about love?" Beast Boy asked. "Trigon is hatred, Love must be his weakness!"
"Forget it," Raven said. "It is touching how you are worried, but you should just get the team in the T-ship and takeoff to some other world and protect it. This one is done for, thanks to me." She hung her head. "Raven," Beast Boy explained. "The team won't leave. I won't leave. When will it be 'time'?"
"I don't know," Raven replied, still hanging her head. "It could be tomorrow." Beast Boy walked closer to Raven and lifted her head. "This isn't like you," Raven said. "Usually you are the one trying to make the best of things." Beast Boy looked her in the eyes. "I can't," he said. "Not until I find a way to stop this. All of it! I will never give up on you." Raven turned her head and placed her cheek on Beast Boy's hand. "I wish I got to meet this version of Beast Boy," Raven sobbed out. "I am so sorry."
"No," Beast boy said. "I am." They embraced into a tight hug while Raven cried on Beast Boy's shoulder. "I will not lose you," Beast Boy said. Suddenly, he released Raven and dashed into the tower and into his room. "Where is it?" he yelled, throwing clothes and sports equipment left and right. "It has to work!" He kept tossing objects until his hand ran across a book with leather covering with the words "Garfield Logan" engraved on the bottom right corner. "There are always answers in here! Come on, God. What can we do? This can't be the end that you promised!" The teenager began flipping through the pages, searching for the right verse to aid in this time of need. "There must be some way," he repeated. "I got it!" He practically yelped. "He can't own her if you do!"
"What did you say?" Someone said behind the door. "Robin," Beast Boy said. "I know how we can end this! Come in here!" Robin opened the door and saw Beast Boy on his knees with a bible in his hands. "Are you saying we do an exorcism on Raven?" Robin asked bluntly. Beast Boy shook his head. "No!" he yelled. "In the bible it says that no one knows when the time is and that he will come like a thief in the night."
"Your point?" Robin
asked. "This Trigon guy announced his coming, where Christ will
not!"
"So are you saying that we should believe that God's
son will come to our rescue?" Robin asked frustrated. "Why not,"
Beast Boy asked. "If this is possible with all of these demons, why
can't God be real?"
"What if this God thing isn't true and this is the real end?" Robin asked. "We can't believe two things, B!"
"I say again," Beast Boy implied. "Why not? There is no other way out of this then the idea I have now. It does say that faith can move mountains…?"
"Can it keep a demon from breaking through?"
"Not unless we reach his 'portal'!"
"I am so not following you, BB," Robin said. "This seems all too weird."
"Well it is either trying it God's way," BB said, "or go it alone and face total destruction." Suddenly, Raven appeared inside of his room. "I hear what you are talking about," she said. "It is dangerous grounds playing with God and Satan. There is nothing that can be done."
"You are wrong!" BB
cried. "There is some way to stop this. Trigon's coming has been
announced where Christ's…?"
"Stop," Raven practically
shouted. "Did you read all of Revelations before making that call?
There is a time of trial and pain before his coming…?"
"If that was the case," BB said. "I would be gone."
"He does have a point," Robin said.
"Anything is possible to he who believes," Beast Boy quoted. "I believe, and I say that everyone else should do the same!"
"Trigon can be defeated," Robin said. "Some way." Beast Boy placed the bible down neatly on his messy un-made bed and stood up. "We need to prepare for war," he said. "It isn't going to be easy, but with faith, anything is possible."
