The Trials of Terra

This is the only story that I can think about right now. I am not kidding, it's the only thing in my mind. REVIEWERS!

AmericanIdiot999- First of all, I'm glad you reviewed my story. I had NO idea that the butler's name was Wintergreen! Thanks. I kinda don't want to change it, so I'll say that was HER butler...Slade has his own. ALSO! I've found a way to fit in Vampyre in my other fic. Yup yup!! There might be some tension between him and Aqualad because they both love Raven and all...

Rose Eclipse- You think? Thanks. I hope you like this chapter!!!

niobe-10- I'll try to add more details. Thanks. I didn't know people would like me quoting the episode and stuff, but I guess you did! I'm hoping to make the chapters longer though. Keep reading and reviewing!

Possessor Of The X Gene- WHY! You are my first reviewer!! gives cookie Thanks! Oh yeah, I'm continuing. I just hope I get more reviews. I love reviews. I tried reviewing your story and it was a nice long review and everything! But, then it told me that...ahem is currently encountering heavy traffic. Please come back in a few minutes." What is that supposed to mean?!! Is it like the people who are in the traffic get to go first? Whatever....thanks!

Chapter-Three

Dinner, Sleep and a Visitor

I picked at my food. I wasn't really hungry. Besides, why would they serve me chicken and asparagus? I was used to living off the land, you know. Killing rabbits and stuff. Chopping up cactuses to get water...

"Eat."

"I'm not really hungry."

"You need to eat. Tomorrow you start training early, and breakfast is at seven. Eat."

"Yes, sir."

This was really boring. I hope they have cable in my room. My shows on in an hour... I obeyed him. How could I not? After all, he was my master now...

I took a bite of the asparagus and immediately felt rejuvenated. This stuffs not bad. Something clicked inside that said I needed food. I just hadn't recognized it before. Suddenly, I was starving. I devoured the rest of the chicken and asparagus within two minutes. Slade had been observing me the whole time with his hands folded and his elbows on the table. His arms were supporting his head up and his chin rested gently on the backs of his hands. I stared down at his empty plate. He continued to look at me. I swallowed and stood up with my plate. I took his and placed it underneath mine. He nodded. I walked over to the dishwasher that was hidden in the shadows. I opened it up with a click and it placed the dishes inside carefully. They were glass, after all...

"The first thing you need to learn is manners."

I closed the dishwasher and looked at him.

"If you are going to be my apprentice, you must obey everything I say. Know that an order I give you has a purpose. It will always have a reason. Therefore, you must obey it."

"Yes, sir."

"I'd like you to call me Master or Slade. Never sir."

"Of course, whatever you like."

"Now rest, you have a hard day ahead of you."

"Yes, Master."

'Okay, that was really weird...' I thought as I left the room and hurried down the hallway. I reached my room and went inside.

I locked my door, facing the sheet of metal that kept me protected.

"Did I do the right thing?" I asked it.

"Depends on your point of view…"

I whirled around.

"Robin!"

"Hello, Terra."

He was sitting on the comfy chair positioned in the corner of my room. He looked comfortable with his lazy posture and tilted head. Not at all as if he were inside his arch-enemy's hideout.

"What are you doing here?!!" I half screamed, half yelled at him.

"Didn't you think that we would track you? There was a tracking device installed in your backpack from day one."

"Who do you think you are? Interrupting my privacy like this!!"

"We gave you a home, Terra. We thought you were our friend."

"Friends don't betray each other."

"And you coming into Slade's home isn't betrayal?" he asked, raising one eyebrow.

"We could help you, you know…" He stepped forward, closer to me.

"I don't even think I'm staying here for long. You know that I don't like permanent residence," I said convincingly. His face relaxed a little.

Something snapped in me that said I didn't need to be taking this from him. Something gave way and I suddenly became furious with my former friend.

"And I don't need help from you," I spat, "Now get out!"

"Terra—"

"GET OUT!" I screamed, my anger consuming me and my eyes turning yellow. Not a good sign.

"Look, I'm just trying—"

I tackled him, forcing him to notice that I didn't want him here, in my room. He kicked me off.

"My patience is thinning with you, Titan," I said in a deathly whisper. I couldn't even say his name.

"Terra…"

"Just get out. I don't want your help, your advice, or your presence. I hate you and your team. And if Beast Boy asks about me, tell him I haven't thought of him once and don't care if I ever see him again."

Robin's head slumped with disappointment. He grabbed his communicator.

"Get me out of here," he said. There was a celtic shiver in the room and Raven rose from the floor.

She touched his shoulder gently and said "You did what you could," gave me a hateful look, and they both turned into shadows and disappeared.

"Good riddance," I said and changed into my pajamas.

As I was preparing for bed, I thought about the severity of my situation. How was I going to deal with Slade? Had I made the right choice? Of course I had. I had made the best choice. This is my life, I thought as I pulled the black flannel covers over me, and I will make my own decisions.

The next morning, when I woke up, I dressed in black.

Titan009- Please review! I know it's been AGES since I have updated any of my stories, but creativity doesn't just turn on and off like a faucet. I hope you understand….Oh, and the whole tracking thing will be explained later. Turns out she deceives them….And do you guy's think that I'm making Slade too.....fatherly? Because I can TOTALLY change that!
