Chapter 3
It was a few months later when my troubles begun. I had been working hard to control my powers during fights with bad guys. There's one thing I always wonder though, no matter how many times we kick a bad guy's butt they always escape from prison. I guess I should know but I was never locked up. We were fighting Mambo when something happened I couldn't control. When he was going after Beast Boy I used my power to throw a rock at Mambo. When it knocked him over everyone looked at me quickly. "Perrin, was that you?" Robin asked me as Mambo groaned under the huge rock. "Yes, it was, but I'm very sorry I didn't tell you about my power…" I had to come up with something quick, "…It's just I have good arm strength that's all." "No way, that's not just 'good arm strength'!" Beast Boy yelled over to me, "You just made a Mambo pancake under that boulder!"
Back at the tower in my new room (it's defiantly not my old room after what BB did to me after my first night there as Perrin) I was on my laptop (the one from "Betrayal") when I got an email…from Slade. My heart was racing faster than a cheetah could run. I clicked the READ button. In two seconds his email popped on my screen.
Dear Terra,
I hope you are not seeing the Titans. Which I bet you're in their Tower right now.
Sincerely,
SLADE
P.S.- I'm always watchingI was going crazy; someone was playing a joke on me. But nobody knew it was me. All of the sudden an IM popped up on my screen.
SLADE-Terra I know you are there.
I started biting my gloves where my nails are.
SLADE-What did I tell you about biting your nails, Terra? Perrin1628- SHUT-UP! I'm not Terra! I don't even know who this Terra is. I don't even know who u r! SLADE-Don't play dumb with me Terra. I know you are there and like I said before, I'm always watching.(In a dream where Perrin, Terra, is running around an empty town and no matter where she goes Slade's face, mask, pops up at a dead end). Terra, I'm always watching…always…Terra don't play dumb with me…what did I tell you about biting on your nails?…SHUT-UP! I'm not Terra! I don't even know who this Terra is…leave me alone…leave me alone…leave me alone…LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! When I woke up the next morning I didn't wake up with BB in my face but instead the roof of my room was in my face. How could a dream have that much effect? I didn't even know I was using my powers during my dream. Then I realized that I couldn't control them even though I thought I could. As fast as I could I ran to the main room of the tower and tell the Titans who I really was when I knew they would know after bringing the roof in with my powers. When I got there, out of air, Robin was already talking, "…Last night there was an earthquake that was so powerful it caused $124,300 in damage." "That's one powerful earthquake!" BB said and then finally glancing over at me. "But that's not the weird part. There were sightings of a strange yellow glow during the earthquake." "You think it was Terra?" Starfire asked. "I think after so long of just standing there she might be trying to break lose." Raven added. Later that day as I went to yet another room, (because of the earthquake I caused) I heard something from Beast Boy's room. "Terra if your still alive right now please send some sort of message like the earthquake last night. We're still trying to find that cure for your condition. There's a new girl in the tower, her name is Perrin, and when we get you out of there you can meet her. She's a lot like you too. She's the only one other than you to go near Starfire's homemade glork. I'm sorry if she messed up your room any Terra, but like Robin said, she didn't know…" I couldn't listen anymore. I can't believe he really likes me. Ever since the first day I thought he hated me.
A couple days later the Titans wanted to go see "Terra". I'm glad I thought of making a statue of myself. When we got there nobody even let the slightest noise out of their mouths. So when Beast Boy started talking it scared me a little. "Cyborg, do you think you really got it?" "I'm 99.99 sure." "What about the other .01?" I asked. "It would only mean she's…" "Only if she's what?" BB asked. Then Cyborg hesitated then answered, "…only if she's dead." Cyborg pressed some buttons on his arm and it started spraying that pink mist that Slade had sprayed on me the day I became normal again. I know that they had come up with the solution but I knew it wouldn't work because the dummy wasn't alive. I heard some whispers of the Titans as the saw that it wasn't working, "Why isn't it working…" BB kept repeating as did Starfire. "What's going on?" Raven asked herself over and over. "Terra I know your alive, Cyborg must have gotten the wrong formula." Robin said to himself trying to keep calm. After all the pink mist was gone everyone looked like someone had come and just ripped their hearts out. "Check her heart rate! Something must be wrong with your formula!" BB said to Cyborg as tears began to run down his face knowing, just knowing that something must be wrong. "There isn't one." Cyborg said calmly as he too had tears coming from his eye. "YOUR SCANNERS MUST BE WRONG! SHE'S NOT DEAD, SHE'S ALIVE!" BB was crying so much he could fill an ocean full of tears. All the Titans were crying at least a little bit. I stood there watching them cry over me.
