Recollections
'No more chances, no more trust, no more mercy'
We keep saying that, saying that she doesn't get anything anymore. Words are words and only words.
'She is just another criminal'We were wounded all of us. She is a traitor. A perfect, ruthless traitor. The name sounds weak even as I say it. A weak name for a powerful weapon. She was the wanderer, the titan, the spy, the apprentice, the player of many faces.
'What stings the most? That I tricked you? That I almost wiped out your team? That everyone liked me better than you?'
I was like clay in her hands. Vulnerable and frail. All she did was taunt me and it was effective enough to make me blow. What could I do? I couldn't stop her I could barely stand. She knew everything. She knew my lightest whim.
'Or was it that deep down inside you really thought I was your friend'Really thought I was your friend...She was just skin deep. That wasn't even half of it. Anger was all I felt anger at her ridiculing, anger at her tricks, anger at myself.
We fooled ourselves silly, if we had given her nothing would she have become what she is? Would giving anything and everything soften her heart? I don't think so. From the beginning she was always Slade's. She knew what she wanted and he gave it to her.
'I TRUSTED YOU! WE TRUSTED YOU! WE GAVE YOU EVERTHING AND YOU TREATED US LIKE DIRT!'
That's when I let my control go. I forgot my promise to Beast boy then I forgot all about chances. But it wasn't enough. In the end this fatal mistake almost cost me my life.
I know I will always regret the day I welcomed her into my heart. I know I will always remember that battle. Memories are memories they are all in the past. And there is no use in dwelling on the past.
And these? These are just words. Words with power, Words with hate, Words with unspoken hope.
After all Terra is Terra and only Terra.
