The Trials of Terra
Hey guys...I wanted to updating this really bad because I feel that I left so much unsaid at the end of the chapter. About my other stories. Sorry that I haven't updated, but I have all the chapters written and I have to transfer them to my computer that I just had installed. And I am DETERMINED to find a way to get them over to this thing.... So, here's the chapter that I just felt like writing.
Chapter-Two Alpha, Beta and Multra----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You feel anger at the Titans."
"Yes."
"You want revenge."
"I want revenge."
"You shall have it. But first, we must control your powers. They are...shall I say, forceful. They need controlling, they need guidance. I can give you that. In return, you must give me something."
"What?"
"Your life." There was a short pause. A misunderstanding pause. "You must become my apprentice."
"Work for you?"
"Exactly," came his voice.
"And if I do...agree, you'll help me?"
"Of course, child. I will help you as much as I can. Do we have a deal?"
"Absolutely."
"Follow me." Slade led me out of the cave.
"You're first lesson; summon a boulder."
"No problem," I said. The ground shook and a circle cracked around a rather large rock that I had picked out. I raised it up.
"Good," said Slade to my left. He jumped on to it, making it heavier. I strained under the weight.
"This size of boulder will be called "alpha". It is the default rock that we'll work with as you train. Raise another one, slightly smaller."
I followed his instruction.
"This size is "beta". Now, make one that is larger than alpha."
"Fine." My eyes turned yellow to accomodate his request. This time, it was harder. The rock was massive.
"Good. This is "multra". The largest of the rocks we will work with. Gradually, each of these rocks will increase in size. Allowing you to control larger amounts of earth. We shall procede to my hideout. Come," he ordered. I hopped on the beta rock and he directed me towards the city. I obeyed. So, he was my master now. And I was his apprentice. In a way, I felt like I belonged with him. I found a certain satisfaction out of being the bad guy. There was a sort of pride to it that I could never find in being with the Titans. A strange form of pride. There was a twinge of guilt, but I pushed it away. I would have my revenge. They would crumble from beneath their own weight. And I already had a plan.

We reached the warehouse an hour later. It was secluded in the busy part of the docks. Several robots surrounded the doors. They looked eager to blast anything that came their way. They lifted their "guns".
"Code: Indigo," Slade said. The robots nodded and ceased their aggressiveness. A door slid open.
"Bring them in," he ordered. I figured he was talking about the rocks, so I did. He jumped off alpha and I followed suit. The larger rock hardly fit through the door. But, it only grazed the edges.
"Drop them." I followed his request, gladly.
"You will rest tonight. Edward will show you to you're room. I will call when he has dinner prepared. Go." I nodded and followed the butler that had shown up out of no where. I should get used to that.
"This way, miss." We were almost gone, when he spoke up.
"Edward."
"Yes, master."
"Make sure she is comfortable."
"Of course, master." He bowed and ushered me out. The hallway was long. Really long. I got tired just looking at it. It slanted downward, which meant it probably went underground. Luckily, I didn't have long to walk. My door was the ninth on the right.
"You're room, miss."
"Thank you," I said and pressed the button that supposedly opened the door. It worked. My jaw dropped. It was huge. The bed was extremely large. There was a computer, a large bathroom, a T.V., and a desk. They didn't take up a lot of room, so it wasn't hard to get the impression that the room was el grando.
"Is there anything I can get you?" Edward asked.
"Maybe a soda. I'm really thirsty. Oh, and I have a question," I told him.
"Yes?"
"How do I keep in touch with Slade? I mean, what if I'm in here and he needs me or something?"
''I am not certain."
"Oh, well. Thanks anyway."
He bowed and exited. I shut the door.
I looked at the shower. It was calling to me. I looked around. He better not have cameras in here.... I went in to the bathroom and locked the door. Then, I blasted the water on high and as hot as it would go. As I waited for the water to heat up, I noticed a medicine cabinet. Curiousity overtook me so I opened it up. There was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream, a razor, lotion, two toothbrushes, two bottles of toothpaste, floss a hair brush, hair ties...guess I would have to use my own make-up. Man, Slade sure knew what I needed to keep clean.... I figured the water was ready by now so I undressed. I grabbed the shower products that my master had left me and brought them in the bath. I also grabbed the brush. It's just a habit, but I normally brush my hair in the shower when I'm done. It's a thing I do. I've always done it. When the conditioner is still processing, that's when I comb it out. It just makes it easier when I have to blow dry it to get the tangles out. It makes for less work when I leave. After I took a nice, long shower, shaving included, I stepped out. I grabbed the towels that were sitting on the counter and dried off. There was a fluffy white robe that had also been left there. I didn't use it. It reminded me of the Titans. After wrapping my hair up in the towel, I dried my body off. I kept my blonde hair in the towel for a while to let it dry on its own for a bit. It keeps it healthy. I wrapped a towel around me and opened the bathroom door. Steam followed me as I exited. I noticed a closet. I walked over to it and opened it up.
"What a selection," I muttered. There were two colors. White and black. But, only one type of outfit. It was a shirt that cut off about mid-stomach and pants that weren't exactly baggy, but weren't tight. They just kind of hung. I tried a white one on and looked in the mirror. I was surprised to see that it didn't look entirely terrible on me. In fact, it was kind of flattering. I examined it from all possible angles and then looked back in the closet. There were about thirty of these in each color. This Slade guy didn't have bad taste. Maybe he had a woman shopping for him. I didn't care anymore. The towel that was turban-ated on my head was shimmied off and my hair seemed two shades darker because of the wetness. I combed it out and blow dried it. Then, I added extra eye-liner and more mascara. Hey, I'm a bad guy now. I need the dark look.
"Oh, yeah. That's why you're wearing white." I rolled my eyes at myself. Whatever. I looked at the alarm clock that glowed bright red. It said, 9:56. Ha. Beast Boy was probably crying right now. Serves him right. Wait! Why am I even thinking about him? I looked around and saw the Coke that Edward had left me. He must have come in here while I was taking a shower. I drained it in three gulps. A polite knock resounded on my door. I walked over and opened it. It was Edward.
"Dinner is ready."
"Thank you."
"You look lovely."
"Thank you." Why did he care? It wasn't like a date or anything. Must be his accent. All British guys are sweet, when raised properly.
I slipped on the white birkenstocks that had been left at the door, as opposed to the black ones or the brown suede ones.
I followed him down the hallway and prepared for the weirdest meal of my life.
