-Awakenings-

-Chapter 3-

I heard the Titans try to run after me as I walked calmly down the hall. Something stopped them. Raven maybe. Or something I did. I still don't know. I could hear Slade laughing in my mind. I felt drawn to the volcano.

Calling upon the boulder I arrived on, I followed my path back to the volcano. Looking over the brink, there indeed was a large hole blasted out of the rock. I hadn't done it.

'Looks like Terra got the nerve to return.' Slade spoke to me. I felt his hands on my shoulders suddenly, his fingertips digging in hard.

"Let go of me Slade." I challenged.

'But why? You returned to me willingly. I am just here to accept you back.' His hands slid down to my wrists and held them tight.

I flexed one of my hands and pulled a boulder to above his head.

'You wouldn't DARE do that, would you?' He questioned. His grip tightened, moved my arm, and dropped the rock harmlessly away. His mental grip on me tightened, and I lost willing control of my body.

I only had so much willpower.

'Good girl.' He said, letting my wrists go. I helplessly dropped to the floor. He grabbed my hair and pulled me back up. "Now," He spoke with his real voice. "You will do what I say."

He looked my body over. I was still wearing Starfire's skirt and shirt.

"We know that won't do. You need to show off your beautiful body." He reached out to grab the skirt.

My hand shot out and stopped him. "Don't touch me." I spat.

He pulled back and slapped me hard, knocking me across the cavern. I laid on the floor, cooling my cheek on the rock. I had fought him before. I remember what happens when I try to fight him.

He took my purity last time I fought back. It was a terrible experience. I did not want it again.

"Get up, Terra." He growled. I stumbled to my feet, looking down. "Good." He said. "Now, let us go find the Titans."

His mental control took over again and we pulled a boulder up for us to fly on. He controlled me now. I forced me to stand in front of him. It was uncomfortable. I was going to have to fight my friends again.
