Twins and Witches
Chapter One: Home
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans; I just obsess over them!
Okay, people! You wanted a sequel, you got a sequel! I guess the prequel was kind of stupid, but I had a hare time figuring that out, seeing to it that I have written the first chapter, but if you don't want it on the web it won't be on the web!
I'm really exited about this! I'm not sure how long it'll be; I guess to some people this might be stupid. I mean, they think 'why is this girl so obsessed with an OC?' Well, I'll tell you why: I DON'T KNOW!
For some reason, I am. I feel like she's real, and is a real Teen Titans character. Don't ask me why. So, if you think I'm stupid, don't tell me, because I'll just write something bloody sarcastic back and you can never show your face on my profile again.
I love doing that. I say something really sarcastic to my enemy (which I only have on of) and they just stare at me, because I'm usually really quiet, shy, nice and a follower. They don't expect it, it's hilarious.
Sorry, am I ranting? Sorry, I do that sometimes. Now enough chit chat! Let's start this pointless story!
Terra and Lauren walked down the road, the wind rushing through their hair.
Actually, they weren't really walking. More flying.
Terra was positioned on a rock, like she was riding a surfboard. Lauren was just plain flying. Not on anything, just flying.
You probably haven't met two twins like these. They looked normal, bond hair, bright blue or lavender eyes, and fairly normal clothes. Actually, for that one it depends on your definition of normal, really. Lauren was wearing a lavender dress that went down just above her knees. It had cap sleeves, but under that was a sort of short sleeve white shirt. On the rim of the sleeves was lavender ribbon, and she also had lavender fingerless gloves. On her legs she had boots that went up to her knees. They were (duh) lavender. She had her hair half up half down (okay, it's different from her outfit in 'downfall', but I couldn't help myself).
Terra was wearing a black tee shirt that showed her stomach that had a yellow T on it. She also had yellow shorts. Her hair was down, blowing in her face.
See? Normal teenage girls.
Boy, were you ever wrong.
These girls aren't just twins. They are The Elemental Twins. They defeated helleshions and other evildoers. They were gifted with the powers of sky and earth. Lauren could fly and control wind (more handy then it sounds, trust me) and Terra could control rocks to move the way she wanted them to.
They had just defeated Slade; a helleshion whom people thought had died months ago when Terra pushed him into an active volcano.
He hadn't, though. He had lived, lived to try to destroy Terra and Lauren. And had succeeded by shooting them with an energy draining ray that would drain out all energy, and then they would die. A very painful way to die, but did Slade care? Nope, he just wanted them dead. So, he had shot them with an energy-draining ray, and they would die
But it seemed like no one died that easily nowadays.
Terra and Lauren had lived, and had finally destroyed Slade once and for all. They were now considered town heroes, and were welcomed to stay any time. But Terra and Lauren had politely declined that offer.
Ever since they left Narasville, they didn't dare stay in one place for too long. They couldn't quite control their powers yet. Sometimes, caught in the heat of emotion, they would loose control, and they could do a threatening amount of damage. So, they left quickly, to make sure their secret was never revealed. If it was, they surly couldn't come back to the town again.
They were riding down the road, not to anywhere, really. They didn't know were to go anymore. They had defeated a helleshion, and everything had seemed really quiet. So, with no bad guys to defeat, what should they do?
Well, they could've stayed with the Teen Titans. Certainly Beast Boy wouldn't mind. They were both members of the Teen Titans, and they had their badges to prove it. But, after a month of hero fighting, they had desisted to leave. They liked it there, but they had to leave. They didn't want to over-use their welcome.
Anyway, beside the road, they were silent. They were thinking about something to say. Lauren's head was down, looking at what was beneath her. Terra was facing forward, looking over the horizon. Just like their personalities.
Terra was always looking forward. Preparing for what happened next, and waiting for a new day to begin.
Lauren, on the other hand, looked right in front of her. She hated change and dealt with things when they were in front of her, so she was sometimes too late. She also waited for things to turn out; she usually didn't jump into things. She was also afraid of strangers.
The twins met a fork in the road. One part said Steel Town, a place they had never been before.
The other part said Narasville, the place were the two girls had grew up.
Terra looked at Lauren, "So," she said, "what next?"
Lauren had a distant smile on her face as she stared at the sigh that said Narasville.
"Home."
Terra smiled, "Yeah, I bet mom and dad will be happy to see us. We were thirteen when we left!"
Lauren nodded, remembering the day that Terra had told her that they were going over the countryside to battle evil monsters. Boy, was that ever not a pleasant day.
They both headed down that road, now walking. Lauren ran ahead a little. She couldn't wait to be home again.
Narasville was a small little town that barely anyone new about, because it was so small, had no famous monuments and no one that had done anything amazing had come from there. If you though about it, they only people that knows about Narasville was the people that came from there!
She entered the town, and then just stared.
This wasn't Narasville.
It couldn't be.
In front of her didn't lay a peaceful town in which Lauren and Terra had grown up.
In front of her laid destruction.
Terra caught up with her and gasped.
"What happened?"
All of the hoses were burnt. The town was completely abandoned. What was left was trashed, and on the concrete road was blood.
"What happened?" Terra said again.
Lauren looked off into the distance, "I don't know," she said in a breathy voice. Terra traveled into the town, and Lauren reluctantly fallowed.
Everyone's house had been destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Smith, they mall, the bakery, their childhood friend, Ivy, even their own home.
They looked at their old house. All of their stuff was burnt, and there was a puddle of blood on the front porch.
Lauren searched through the remains of the house, right behind Terra. Absolutely nothing remained, but they kept on looking anyway.
As Lauren was looking, she stepped on something and heard the crack of broken glass.
She looked down. It was a picture of the Markson family. Slowly, Lauren reached down and picked it up. She was afraid of what she would see.
Laurens mom and dad were standing by each other, while below them Terra had Lauren in a headlock, and they were both smiling.
A tear fell onto the glass. Lauren was crying.
Terra joined her, staring at the photo. Her eyes welled up, but she didn't cry.
Because just then something hit them:
They would never see their parents again.
They were alone in the world, with no one but each other. No parents, no aunts, no uncles, no grandparents, nothing. All of their relatives were at Narasville.
Terra looked away from the picture. If she looked any longer, she'd start crying. No, she has to stay strong.
She looked around the house, looking for something else that had survived the (supposed) burring and massacre of Narasville. After looking through the house carefully, she found a stone tablet on the front porch where the bench used to be.
Odd, Terra said, picking up the tablet, I don't remember this on the front porch.
The tablet looked very old and dusty, with engravings on it. Terra brushed off the dust, and looked at the words. It was actually in a weird sort of alphabet that was furan.
"Yo, Lauren," Terra said, her voice breaking the silence, "I think you should see this."
Hugging the photo close, Lauren wiped away her tears and joined Terra.
"Wow," Lauren said, running her fingers over the tablet, "this thing must be ancient. More then 100 years old. Hey," she said, pointing to the lettering, "It even has an ancient alphabet.
And before they knew what they were doing, they chanted these words in unison:
Hamo selceni no tam bala
Hamo selceni como pelsin
Dapo nacamin, sholo camula
Gelcan helscalla, sholo camula
Hamo selceni sholo camula
Hamo selceni sholo camula
Okay, to you and me, can you say gibberish? But to them, they were saying:
Elements rise, show your true power
Elements rise, help those in need
Teach us all, long live the twins
Show us the world, long live the twins
Elements rise, long live the twins
Elements rise, long like the twins
As they finished chanting, they stared at each other. What had just happened?
Then before they were able to think, the floor beneath them disappeared, and they got sucked into a constantly swirling purple vortex.
Okay, end of chapter one.
Yeah, yeah, it was short. But I had to end there, I just love to leave you hanging, and don't you love it too? (Get tomatoes thrown at my head from non-cliff climbers) Hey… not nice!
BTW, if you haven't read Double Trouble yet, DO. This story will make so much more since if you do!
Thankies for the reviews for chap thirteen for Double Trouble:
Mayura: Yeah, I was kind of wondering where you were.
Mayura: Yay, I thought I had a pretty good ending. I heard that Star Wars III was really bad by some people, but really good by others. Oh well, I'm not planning to see it anyway. Actually, I don't know where the Teen Titans were. That's for you to figure out!
Tira's Host: Who's Tira? Just wondering. Anyway, thank you for helping! I am so bad at this decision stuff. You NEVER want to go shopping with me, because I can never decide what to get!
REVIEW! REVIEW, I TELL YA, REVIEW!
…Please?
