Chapter 7

Dear Diary,
It's Terra again. Every day gets harder and harder. Today we fought Slade. Slade is a real pain in the neck. I just want to run from him almost every time I see him. I'm afraid that he'll expose me. It's horrible. Hold on, I'm getting an IM. Oh my Gosh…It's Slade. I'm not going to answer. He's typing something else. What does 'Fine' mean with Slade? Is he going to give up? I hope so but he doesn't usually give up that easy.
See ya,
Terr
Before she finishes writing her name she hears the soundof glass shattering from somewhere then the sound of a scream from BB. "BEAST BOY!" I scream at the top my lungs as I jolt out my room as fast as I can to BB's room. As I enter the room, I see broken glass everywhere and a note on the bed…from Slade.
Dear Titans,
It's Slade. If you want your precious Beast Boy back you'll do as I say. Meet me at the old factory at mid night. And trust me you'll come.
SLADE
PS-Bring your new Titan with you.
About the time I had time to read it everyone else came rushing through the door, "What's going on?" Robin asked me quickly. A tear ran down my face. "He has Beast Boy. Slade…he kidnapped him. I didn't get here in time to save him. Read this." I handed the note to Robin. "I know what he wants." I said as more tears ran down my face. "He wants me. I'm…Terra." Everyone stood in awe and stared at me for the longest time. Then Raven spoke up, "Why didn't you tell us?" "I couldn't. Slade said he would destroy me if I ever came back to you guys. I guess he figured it out and is trying to use Beast Boy as bait."
That night we were getting ready for the worst. We have no clue what Slade has waiting for us…and Beast Boy. The clock glowed 11:47pm. We were ready to get him back and stop Slade for good. As we entered the factory the lights shut off and I heard the noise of someone getting punched. I didn't know who it was but I tried to listen for Slade so it wouldn't be me next. All I heard was random feet running in different directions so I stayed still as a rock so I wouldn't be heard by anyone. "Help…someone…anyone…oh" it was BB. So I carefully walked quietly in the direction of his voice. "Help…Help" I finally felt a foot strapped to some sort of chair. "Beast Boy?" I said in my regular voice so he would know Terra was there, not Perrin. "Terra, get me out of here. Where are the others?" "Truthfully, I don't know with all the lights off. I don't know how to you out." "Just rip or crush these locks." I felt around at his hands and felt one lock at each hand. I used my power to summon a stone from the ground. I banged at the locks as sparks flew with each strike until they came off. As I was about to get the ones off his feet I felt a punch to my side. I knew it was Slade. "What did I tell you before you left? I told you to never see the Titans ever again. But you disobeyed me, that will cost you." He said all of this as he kept beating me up and I tried to punch him but I couldn't see him so I punched at him blindly…and missed. "You think when I let you go I magically took out my control on you? I can still control you. I can still control your every move. Watch." He must have been moving his arms and hands because mine were moving and I couldn't control it. "Help!" "No one can help you now Terra." "I can." BB said as he amazingly had got himself free. "I can see in the dark. I'm Beast Boy remember? Animals can see in the dark." "You forget one thing, I control her every move, Remember?" "She over came you once and she can do it again." "She doesn't work for you anymore Slade." Robin said out of nowhere as the other Titans followed close behind. "Looks like we've got you Slade. Your surrounded and I know how to resist your control." I said as boldly as I could. "You think I'll give up so easily?" Slade asked me sarcastically. "No, and that's why we'll have more fun taking you down." I added with a smirk. "We'll see who's going to be having fun." He whispered in my ear as he threw something on the ground and a giant puff of smoke came all around us. Then the lights came on and Slade was gone. "He might be evil but I believe he's as cowardly as a little mouse." I said as we left.
After we got back I knew that wasn't the last time we would see Slade. I stopped back by the Hair-are-we and bought blonde hair dye. I looked normal again. I actually felt like someone had just lifted a 200-pound weight off me. No more secrets, no more lies, and no more hiding. I can finally be me…Terra, not Perrin. Terra has returned.
It is never
THE END
