Chapter six: Enter Possessor

The school bell rang and the students dashed out of the building excited to go home for the weekend. One such girl said good bye to her friends as she walked in the opposite direction. She was tall and lanky and had long flowing blond hair. She wanted to get home quick to start her dinner. She started to walk down the street and took a sharp right. The ally way was a short cut back to the house. She didn't use it often because it was dark and most of the time dangerous. As she walked she saw things move in the shadows. She disregarded these movements as just a trick of the light. She turned left and came to a dead end.

"That is unusual I could have sworn I went the right way." She turned around and something came out of the shadows. She looked at it, wondering what in the world it was. She had never seen such a creature before. "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

"Terra, remember girl. You need to remember what you have done." The creature leapt at her and she screamed, but had enough sense to dodge the creature. She was cut slightly on the arm, it began to glow yellow, and slowly memories flooded her mind. She remembered the Titans and when she first met them. They welcomed her to the team and as a friend. Robin telling her she needed to practice controlling her powers. How angry she felt towards them after telling her such things. She ran away from her team from her friends. She met a man, a man the second she laid eyes on should have ran from.

"Slade, no please I don't want to remember this please don't make me!" Terra was running away from the creature try to get away any way she could. She even resorted to using her powers. The creature kept coming telling her of all the things she had done.

"You betrayed them Terra. You took their trust and threw it back at them. Tell me Terra, do you feel the darkness surrounding you?" Terra remembered she tried to kill the one person who accepted her. She almost did it and she was angry she had not.

"No, please don't." Her voice grew weak as she fell against the wall. "Please make it stop." With those final words Terra was no longer a sweet common girl. Terra became a possessor.

"Good my pet now do as I planned. Take out the Titans, but leave my dear little sister to me. Oh and I would like a play thing as well. The green one should do." The creature stood now in Terra's body and walked off.

The Titans had decided to go about doing things that normal teens did. Robin, Star and Cyborg decided to go to the movies. They knew Raven would not join them. Opting to meditate on the things Beast Boy had told them. They were surprisingly dark things. The most surprising was he being able to use magic and being a prince of a tribe in Africa. However, what surprised them the most was Beast Boy opted out of going to the movies with them.

"No, I think I'll stay in tonight. I haven't written to King Akida in a while and I'm sure he's worried about me. If he's not then Huru would most likely be worried sick." He left the room with that. Raven stared after him in shock. Nobody missed this look on her face. Could she be jealous of this Huru? The others left and Raven retreated to her room. She started to meditate but her mind was elsewhere. She couldn't stop thinking about Beast Boy. She had long ago been able to control her powers without meditation so it wasn't that big of a loss, but she still liked to do it to help her control along.

'I know I like him but has my like grown since I've admitted this. Could a simple crush have grown to love? I suppose it's not unlikely but still.' When Raven had notices she could use her powers freely she realized it was due to allowing herself to balance out her emotions. Raven focused on some emotions more than others causing an imbalance and destructive powers. By allowing herself to show emotions when she felt them allowed a whole new range of power levels. She began to wonder if maybe her mentors on Azarath were just trying to hold her back from her full potential at that time. Soon as Raven allowed these emotions to be shown or acknowledged she became more powerful. Raven sighed and returned to her meditation hoping she'd be able to at least think on the new information on Beast Boy and the new feelings towards him. She failed to notice a figure pass by her window.

It had been an hour since the others, not including Raven had left. Beast Boy had written a letter to King Akida telling him of his new adventures, and telling the others finally about his past and who he was to the tribe. He had also written to Huru, he missed her very much. She was his oldest friend, one who did not reject him when he turned green. Beast Boy pulled out some old letters from Akida and Huru.

IN SWHAILI

"Garfield, we are so glad you are safe. Huru and I miss you very much and hope you come and visit soon. I feel as if I may live a very long time so you do not need to fear taking over any time soon. To answer your question from your last letter, the whole tribe wishes to see you. They all wish for you to forgive them of their harsh treatment due to your desises. Garfield the tribe does miss you. Huru wants you to meet someone as well."

END SWHAILI

Beast Boy sighed; it had been a long time since he saw his tribe. He did miss them very much. If he thought back to it, the last time he saw them was about the same time Brotherhood of Evil made some trouble. That was years ago, by now Huru would most likely be looking to get married. If he had stayed there so would he, not to mention looking to take over the tribe soon too. Yet, thinking about the Brotherhood of Evil brought back some really bad memories. The worst of those memories were the villains called him 'The Titan Pet'. This hurt but he never showed it on the outside. He did wonder at times if he would make a better pet then team mate.

"Hey, BB." Beast Boy looked up sharply. He did not hear that voice, nor is he really seeing that face. It couldn't be who he thinks it is, his mind is just playing tricks on him. "Well, are you just going to stand there with your mouth wide open?" He shook his head and looked back up. Sure enough standing before him on a rock platform was Terra.

"No way, Terra? I thought you lost your memories and went to that school and had a normal life and all that?" Terra's eyes softened just a little bit.

"I did lose my memory but I remembered. I want us to go on that date we never got to go on." Beast Boy looked at her confused. They had gone on that date and that was also the day she betrayed them to Slade.

"Terra, what about Slade?" Terra made a face and looked at Beast Boy.

"BB, who's Slade? I mean if that is supposed to be who I'm going out with I hope he isn't I have no idea who he is." Beast Boy looked at her and smelled the air. She seemed to be telling the truth she truly didn't know who Slade was. Beast Boy smiled and hopped out the window onto the rock platform.

'Why not it's not like I'm ever going to get Rae to like me, I've tried for years. Maybe, it's time to move on.' With that Beast Boy and Terra left the tower, leaving Raven behind, alone.
