A very short first chapter, (hopefully) enough to make you want to read more. I actually have the entire story written, but would like to have at least a few people interested before I post any more of it. Well, enjoy the story, and leave a review if you want more.

Plot: In the story of Terra's betrayal of the Teen Titans, we only got to see thier side of the story. Here it is from Terra's point of view.

I knew their friendship was too good to be true. I finally found others like me, and they didn't accept me. There was that bitch, Raven, but the others were wonderful. Starfire was the sweetest thing, and BeastBoy was just wonderful in general. I don't mention Cyborg because I didn't know him very well, or Robin because he was always a little aloof, and far too busy for me, but overall, they were great. It was nice that for once people knew what I was and didn't hate me because of it. It was nice to have friends. But of course, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and in this case, it was a very swift, and, well, unecessary end.

We had just come home to the tower after succeeding in a difficult battle. We were celebrating when Robin presented me with a Teen Titan's badge and told me that I was now an honorary member! I was so happy you couldn't believe. But then, Robin had to go and ruin the moment by mentioning that I had poor control over my powers, I was sure BeastBoy had ratted me out. I dropped the badge and ran crying from the Tower (as you can tell, I was very mature at the time). I think BeastBoy tried to follow me, but I don't really remember, it's all kind of blurry in my head.

But what happened next, I remember perfectly, for it was the single most important moment of my life.

I had been meaning to run back to that cave I had lived in temporarily before meeting the Teen Titans. However, upon my arrival I was startled to find that I had a visitor.

Slade.

He told me that he had been watching me for some time now, and that I had the potential to be his apprentice. He knew that I no longer had any friends, and said that if I took his hand, I would have him. What could I do? He was a mysterious man that promised to help me control my powers and called me "dear". Did I know that this was the same Slade the Titans had warned me of? Of course I did, but when he extended his hand to me, I took it, my eyes never leaving his masked face

Years later I would wonder what would have happened if I had not taken his hand. If perhaps it would have prevented what ended up happening; the bad, and the good. If I had run back to the Teen Titans, would Slade just shrug his shoulders and find a new apprentice so we could all live happily ever after? Now I realize that even if I had refused his offer and run back to my friends, he would have taken me by force, and I, even with the help of the Titans would have been powerless to stop him. But I did take his hand, and I did promise to serve under him forever. I did, and I could never go back.
