A/N: Well, here goes nothing.
I actually wrote this prologue about a year ago, than continued it a bunch- now I finally have the nerve to post this.
I love Terra from Teen Titans, I really do. I remember the first time I watched Teen Titans- I had been on vacation at the time, lazily browsing through TV channels on my Grandma and Grandpa's TV- when I came across Cartoon Network it immediately showed two girls, one blonde and one purple-haired fighting in the mud. I would later know these girls as Terra and Raven, my top two favorite characters in Teen Titans.
I had been amazed later on in the episode at Terra's strength- and her ruthlessness. From the way they all talked, it looked as if they had bonded beforehand and Terra did something nasty to them. Later the next day I came to Cartoon Network at the same time, and sure enough, I watched Part 2 of Aftershock- I had cried so much afterwards. I loved Terra so much that I had to know her backstory.
So later on I started watching Teen Titans, but only because I was looking specifically for Terra. I later loved the show for reasons other than Terra, but of course I was on the lookout for her- finally, a few months later, I found the episode where she was introduced at four o'clock in the morning.
Soon I knew her backstory, and I loved every little thing about her. Through the years I loved her, so I was overjoyed that they introduced Terra yet again in Things Change- that was quite a sucky ending to an awesome show, don't you agree? Anyways, I saw that as a loophole, where I could make my own story, where she has her happy ending...
So that's how I came to write this.
Oh! I almost forgot! I must thank a few people- first, to Maxitola2009 on Wizard101Central for helping me come up with such a great title. Second, to Lulu Sushi- she's helped me sooooooo much and she's a very good authoress. I highly recommend reading her story that's also a Terra story called Princess Crowns and Butterfly Clips.
And third, to the creators of Teen Titans for giving us such a great character, even if others don't realize how great she is.
Disclaimer- I don't own Teen Titans. Otherwise obviously Terra would have lived and become an official Teen Titan.
Anyways, I think I've rambled on quite enough now- this is a very long author's note, after all, and this is a very short but hopefully great prologue. So read it, I hope you enjoy!
Uncontrollable
Part 1: Princess
Prologue
"I trusted you!"
"Terra, you can't!"
"Is this really who you want to be?"
Those were only a few of the Titans' words as I finished them off, one by one, bit by bit.
I was satisfied. I had destroyed the Titans, my "friends". They had thought I was weak, a confused girl who had yet to learn her powers. But I showed them. I proved to them that I was strong, stronger then any one of them. Stronger than they would ever be.
They had all been my friends. Beastboy in particular. But I didn't care about my past relationships with them- the past was past. Over. Done with. I had no regrets, no anguish, no remorse in the slightest as I took them down.
But then, I didn't realize what I was tearing down as I did this. Sure, I now had complete control of the city, but I didn't know that it was pointless compared to what I had- acceptance, friendship, and love. If I had realized this sooner and defeated Slade long ago, maybe the Titans wouldn't be torn apart. Maybe the city wouldn't be in ruins. Maybe I wouldn't have been the monster I'd become.
But as they say, no turning back.
I'm Terra. Terra Markov. I've made some choices in the past that I now deeply regret, and because of this I guess you can say I have a long story to tell. So let's go back a bit...
