Chapter Five: Not Lost, In Your Heart
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. Yay me!
Dear Readers,
Hello! It is I, Sassy Actress! Again, thank you for reviewing. Every review I get brings a tear of joy to my eye! Cookies will be given at the end of the chapter!
This chapter might be a horrible cliché, if so, please tell me!
Let us ride our mouse-pad to the great unknown!
Lauren was walking down a tunnel with the Teen Titans, the same tunnel, in fact, that was in her dream. They had been walking for what seemed like her hours, but her watch said 30 min.
They were walking in tune with each other, so it made one rhythm: tap tap, tap, tap. And except from the clunk (AN: that's clunk, not dunk, okay?) of Cyborg, it was never broken. Noises such as these creped Lauren out.
"We're here." Robin said, coming to a complete stop. Lauren was at the end of the line, and couldn't see Terra from there. And for one second, she didn't want to.
Lauren swallowed, took a deep breath, and walked to the begging of the line.
"Terra."
It was just like in her dream. Terra was with her hands up, hair flying, just like it did when she was using her powers in extreme mode.
Lauren flung herself onto Terra, sobbing.
"TERRA!"(This is not a happy all caps and multiple ! This is a yelling in pain all caps and multiple !)
Lauren looked at Terra, and memorized every detail of her. Her face, her backpack, her belt loops, everything.
Hey, what was that? Lauren saw a piece of paper rolled up in the belt loop. Lauren pulled it out, and this is what it said:
Lauren,
Yusayyut yuhese yuwords:
Yutheyut yuwinsyuo yufyulif yueyuliv yueyunow yuandyuf yuever
Yuimyuso yurryyuy yuouyuha yudyuto yugoyu yuthroug yuhyuthi yus.
Yulove
Terra
This was a code Terra and Lauren had made up when they where younger. It was actually quite simple. If you took out all of the yu's that were by together, you got this:
Lauren.
Saythesewords,
Thetwinsoflifelivenowandforever
Imsorryyouhadtogothroughthis
Love
Terra
You made them into reasonable words, and you got this:
Lauren,
Say these words,
The twins of life live now and forever
I'm sorry you had to go through this
Love
Terra
Lauren sighed, "If you say so, Terra."
Beast Boy looked at the paper "she said what?"
She backed away from Terra, lifted her head up, and shouted the words.
"The twins of life live now and forever."
Nothing happened. Lauren hung her head.
But then something happened.
The ground began to shake violently. The wind sped up, and soon it was blowing 50mph. The titans grabbed onto rocks to steady themselves, but Lauren was able to withstand up to 100mph (it was an extra bonus of being able to control the wind).
A wispy voice filled the cave:
"Lauren"
"Terra?"
"Yes. Lauren, I'm stuck in rock."
" I know, Terra, is there a way to reverse it?"
"There is one way, but it is really hard."
"What is it, I'll do anything!"
"You must go to Leap City, go to dock 11, and face whatever is waiting there. Then, get a stone that is half yellow and half purple. Come back here, crack the stone open, by yourself, and I will be out of here."
(Get it, jump city, leap city, yah, I know I'm hilarious)
"I'll do it."
"Lauren, don't. There is not a 100 chance that you will come back alive"
Lauren shuttered. Did she really want to do this?
Yes.
Yes she did.
"Don't worry, Terra, I'll be fine."
"We'll insure that."
Beast Boy had spoken.
Robin looked at him with his why-did-you-do-something-drastic-without-telling-me look, but then he nodded.
"Yes, we'll make sure of it."
"Thank you. I'm leaving now. I don't have enough power to stay much longer."
Lauren felt a tear go sown her cheek. She couldn't let go of Terra again, after so long without her.
"Don't leave me, Terra!"
"Lauren, I'm not lost, I'm in your heart."
The voice faded completely.
Lauren fell on her hands and knees. She could do this, she could be brave.
"I won't let you down, Terra."
She stood up, head held high.
"Not again."
He he! I'll leave that there. I know it is a little short, but it seemed like a good place to end, you know? Sorry, I'll make it linger next time! Promise!
Now, cookies to my reviewers:
(I'll thank all the new reviewers, for all the chapters!)
Chapter three:
Reggie Tuesday: Ah! So are you the anonymous that suggested Reggie Tuesday. Are you? I'm unsure!
I reviewed the one for Beast Boy and his past. It was on 4-11-05, about too nice Raven? That's mine!
Any way, I am so flattered that you are putting this on your faves. Thank you!
Chapter four:
Teentitanstruefriend: Thanks; hope this is up to your standards! Tried to watch my spelling. I owe it all to
Spell check!
I'm sorry if I don't mention you here. Even if I can't thank you personally, you are still the best!
