Chapter Four: Fears Realized
Disclaimer: Teen Titians belongs to the people who made them, witch is not I!
Hello! Thank you all for reviewing! You are so totally awesome! I will give acknowledgements after the story. (If you reviewed after this chapter was posted, I thank you too! I just can't tell you in the story. Sorry!)
On to it then!
"Okay, now let's figure this out," Cyborg joined Raven, Beast Boy and Robin in front of the computer, "let's see what this 'Lauren' did." Starfire was sitting on a bench on the other side of the room.
"Hey, Star," Robin came over to the bench and sat down next to Starfire, "What's wrong?"
Starfire sighed, "I do not think that Lauren has done anything to deserve to be in the cell. She said she had done nothing wrong."
"Well, Star, she might be lying. Criminals do that."
"I think she's Terra." Beast Boy was talking to Cyborg, "She looks exactly like her! We should greet her!"
"As much as I hate to say it, man," Cyborg bowed his head "Terra is a qualified criminal, as much as Slade is. If she is Terra, we will still have to take her to jail."
"We have results," Raven said, and the rest of the Titans hurried across the room to see.
"I can't believe it."
"The girl really is Terra."
"We can't wait any longer then," Ravens voice snapped the Titians back into focus. "We have to go get her."
"As much as I don't want to, I agree with Raven," Robin shoulders drooped, "we have to take her downtown."
Lauren was sitting in the back of the cell, scared out of her living mind.
What will they do with me?
Where will I go?
Will they kill me?
Will the sentence me to lifelong jail time?
How will I ever find Terra if I'm in jail?
Her voice rang in her head particularly the last one. How would she find Terra if she was stuck in jail? Images of Terra came into her mind. Terra saving her from spiders, Terra and her trick-or-treating, Terra smiling and laughing at a good joke.
The door slowly creaked open, and Lauren withdrew into a little ball, dreading what they would say.
"Terra," A male voice filled the room, "we will have to-"
Lauren boiled over with anger. There they were, treating her like a criminal when she did nothing wrong, calling her Terra, and sending her downtown. As the Elemental Twin of Sky, she would not put up with this! (Usually, she didn't refer to herself as the elemental twin. Just, sometimes, it was good to be reminded)
"For the last time, I AM NOT TERRA!" Lauren forgot all her fears, and just her anger was there, "I AM LAUREN CARMEN MARKSON, THE ELEMENTEL TWIN OF SKY! I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, AND YOU ARE NOT TAKING ME ANYWHERE!
"Terra…"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! I AM HERE TO ASK YOU ABOUT TERRA. WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS MY SISTER?"
She took a breath. They would know exactly what she had been through the past month.
"DO YOU KNOW WHERE I'VE BEEN? I'VE BEEN IN A BLOODY CAVE ALL MONTH, LIVING IN THE DARK, WITH A FLISHLIGHT WITH BARLY ANY BLOODY BATTERIES, AND WORSE, WITHOUT MY SISTER! I BLOKED THE ENTRYWAY WITH BLOODY ROCKS SO NO ONE COULD HERT ME! I HAVE BEEN WAITING, WAITING FOR A MESSAGE, A LETTER, A SINGLE BLOODY SIGHN THAT SHE STILL KNEW I EXISTED! WHAT DO I GET? I COME TO ASK THE BLOODY TEEN TITANS WHERE IN THE WORLD SHE IS, AND WHERE I CAN FIND HER, AND THEY TREAT ME LIKE A BLOODY CRIMINAL."
Wind blew around her, which happened whenever she was angry. (Another sigh was she used 'bloody' in her sentences a lot) She looked at the Titans with pure anger.
I HAVE DONE NOTHING THAT SHOULD PUT ME HERE! UNLESS TRYING TO FIND BLOODY LOST SISTERS THAT YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT SUDDENLY BECAME ILEGAL WHILE I WAS THE CAVE, I DID NOTHING BLOODY WRONG!"
Lauren slumped against the cave, breathing hard, suddenly aware that she had yelled at the Teen Titans. She was so in trouble.
"So, if your not Terra, who are you?"
Lauren breathed in and out, trying to control your emotions
"I told you, I am Lauren Carmen Markson. I am from Narasville."
"Cyborg," Robin faced the man with glowing blue body parts.
"Hey, we've actually got something."
"I know you have something," Lauren had forgotten all of her shyness. She didn't know quite how, but she wasn't shy any more. Why should an Elemental Twin be shy around strangers? "I don't lie."
The rest of the Titans ignored her, but a girl with red hair and a purple outfit smiled.
"Lauren Markson," Beast Boy read over Cyborgs shoulder, "Daughter of Wyne Markson and Betty Markson, twin sister of Terra Markson. Favorite color: lavender and pink, Favorite food: bubble gum, Scared of: bugs, spiders, lizards, the dark, heights, and loosing her sister, Terra."
"Well, then," Robin looked directly at her, "I'm sorry the way we treated you. I guess scenes Terra's your sister and she is in our criminal bank, we immediately jumped to…"
"That's okay," Lauren smiled "I understand that you have to be cautious."
"Is there anything we can do to show our regret?" The red haired girl spoke this time.
"Well, I would like to get out of this cell first. Second, I want to know where Terra is."
The Titans lead Lauren out of the cave, and then they all sat down on the couch.
"First, what happened sense the scorpion? Second, where I can find her."
The Titians looked at each other, then they began their story.
"So, my dream was true." Lauren whispered.
"What do you mean?" Beast Boy couldn't help but feel sorry for her, she had been through a lot.
Lauren gulped "I had a dream that I was walking down a tunnel, and I saw Terra, but she was in stone."
"Yes," Robin said, "your dream was true."
"Is there any way we can reverse the effect?
Robin shook his head "Not that we know of."
Lauren stood up "Take me to her.
