Chapter 2: Stone
I'm still standing here. As I have been for so long. I know it looks like they've forgotten me, but I know that's not true. They'd never do that to me. He'd never do that to me. They promised they'd find a way to change me back. They promised that when they did, they'd come back and help me. And I'd join them. I'd be a Teen Titan. I'd be their friend. And I wouldn't betray them again...
I'm just standing here. As I have been for so long. When I realize something's different. All these thoughts of being saved and going home... I haven't thought for a long time; I haven't been able to. Stone can't think. Stone can't breathe. But...I'm breathing... I'm thinking...but I'm stone... I look around the cave I stand in, and something is wrong. I shouldn't be able to see. I shouldn't be able to hear. But I can see everything around me and I can hear the sound of dripping water and the wind echoing off the cave walls and rustling my hair and... And my hair isn't stone anymore. Slowly, doubtfully I lower my arms. I look down, then cautiously step off the great rock I stand on, nearly tripping over an iron slab that's leaning against it. It reads:
Terra
A Teen Titan
A True Friend
They brought me back... But I look around and see no one. But... it had to be them... No one else knew it had happened... But I am back. And I will become a Teen Titan. Even though I'm as confused as Beast Boy right now, (don't tell him I said that), I'm happy and, I never thought I'd say this, but I want to go home! I start walking toward the cave entrance. Literally the light at the end of the tunnel. And I almost think this is too good to be true. Like I'm dreaming, or something; but stone can't dream.
