The Path in Witch to Take
Chapter Five: Phase 1
Disclaimer: Fine, squish my dreams; make me admit I don't own Teen Titans!
Okay, I am sucking so bad at this fic, I might delete it. Really, I mean this sucks really badly. I have an idea for this, but if I do just that idea, this fic will only be ten chapters. Ten really short, bad chapters. With horrible romance and amateur suspense and wannabe humor. So, I think I'll delete it. But I'll give you this chapter just because I want to. He he!
Anyway, don't pay attention to my romance. It isn't good. Just you think of good romance things, and ignore mine! Do we all agree on this note? Sweet!
Lets go, to most likely the last chapter of this pathetic story.
They had finally reached Jump City Park, and all landed on the soft grass. There were trees everywhere and some picnic benches. There were children running around in the grass and even more on the playground. Buy the edge of the park was the forest where they had met Raven, the place they had been sucked into the madness of this world.
They headed down across the grass, past the playground, past the picnic tables, to the very edge of the park. Then they reached a field, stretching out for miles and miles. Well, only three acres, but you get my drift, right? Across the field, Lauren could see something dark and slightly grey, but apart from that, Lauren couldn't tell what it was.
They headed across the field, silent as could be. It was like they were all anticipating something grand and happy to happen. And at the same time, expecting anguish and fear. Strange feeling. But then again, this was a strange world.
They came across the field, heading towards the grey thing. They all headed to it, Lauren and Terra in the front. Lauren couldn't wait to see who she 'really was' and prove these boneheads that she was just Lauren. Not some weird person who's different then who she was. She was…
They reached the grey things, and Lauren stopped dead. They were right; she wasn't who she was at home. She was… she was…
She was a goddess.
The grey blobs were statues (A/N: as if you haven't figured that out yet. Actually, you most likely know what's going to happen through out this entire chapter. I'm THAT unoriginal). One was of Terra, standing with her hands by her sides and fingers spread out. She had a regal ness about her that she usually had.
Lauren's statue was standing with her arms crossed and feet spread apart. Her head was held up high and she looked proud and determined. She really looked nothing like she did in real life. Maybe she did, but Lauren didn't recall looking so proud and ready for change.
There were plaques at the feet of their statues. On Lauren's it said: Lauren, the goddess of wind and Terra's it said: Terra, the goddess of Earth. At the base of the two statues were flowers and plushies and homemade things that were obviously made by a child and even some money.
Sweet, Terra thought to Lauren, free stuff.
Lauren just stared at the things, thinking to Terra, This might not even be for us. Maybe people just left it there accidentally.
Terra rolled her eyes in a playfully annoyed way (A/N: Terra isn't the kind of sister who's not nice on a daily bases. They get along really well) and thought Lauren, do you really think that someone would leave… Terra bent over and grabbed some of the money, $100 by accident?
You got $100?
Yep, sweet, isn't it?
Lauren turned around to face the 'Teen Titans'.
"If you could explain everything, that would be greatly appreciated"
They all set up a picnic by the statues, Lauren gazing at her own statue. The statue looked so strong, and so proud of herself. Statue Lauren didn't seem to mind if people bashed her, made fun of her, or gave up on her. She knew that no matter how many people gave up on her, she would never give up on herself. Lauren wished that she could be more like the statue was.
Lauren, she told herself, you are wishing you could be more like a block of stone shaped like something. This crazy world is really getting to you. Get some food so I won't have to snap at you like this.
And obediently following her orders, she sat down with Terra and the rest of the 'titans'. They had set up a fairly nice picnic, but to tell the truth, Lauren wasn't all that hungry.
"Okay," Icicle began, "first, how you got here. Second, who you are here. Third, how to get you back home. That sounds good?"
Both blonds nodded.
"So, first of all, where did you find the tablet?"
Terra jumped in, "we went to our home, Narasville, and found a stone tablet on the front porch. But Narasville. It was…"
"Destroyed?"
Lauren looked at Eric, remembering how she had told him on the roof.
"Yeah," Terra sighed with defeat.
Icicle nodded, "well, someone evil must have come through the porthole, destroyed your town. Then placed the key to this world, a.k.a. the stone tablet. He must have wanted you to come to this world, and maybe destroy you. Whoever it was, must have been someone really evil. There is no doubt in my mind that it was the Red Serpent"
"Now, who you are. As you can see, here you are goddesses. People give you offerings and pray to you. Terra, they believe you make good crops and junk like that. Lauren, the whole city's electricity is based on wind meals, and pilots rely on you. So, to please you guys, they leave offerings, so Lauren will bring strong winds and Terra will bring good crops. Each of you have something else. Terra, you are the goddess of Earth and Joy, while Lauren is the goddess of Wind and Friendship. People leave offerings for that, too. Basically, people worship you."
"Now, how to get you back. You have to find the stone tablet and say the words on it again, and they will bring you back to your world. The stone tablet is in Mt. Recna, held there and can only be taken by a powerful person. The last person to come through the porthole was Eric here, so no one has come for fifteen years."
"So," Lauren said with hesitation, "we just have to get to that Mt. Recna and we can go home?"
Icicle put up her hand, like a traffic director, "But here's the thing: it's impossible. People have come ant tried to get back to their home, and no one has succeeded. There's a way, but it's impossible. So you are really stuck here."
Terra smiled reassuringly, "don't worry, we can do the impossible."
Icicle shook her head slowly from side to side, "girl, if you can do it, it's not impossible. This is impossible. Hundreds and hundreds have tried, and none have succeeded."
Terra had her eye fixed on Icicle, "they just haven't tried hard enough. Nothing is impossible."
Icicle was getting annoyed, "Terra, doing the impossible is… impossible! You can't do it!"
Lauren came between the two girls, "we might not be able to do it," she said while seating the girls, "but we can try. And you can be assured that we will try. Now, we can try alone, or have assistance," she held out her hand to Icicle, as to strike a deal.
Icicle shook her hand, "I can tell you that you won't be able to do it, but I can't stop you guys from trying. And it is our duty as the Teen Titans to see you through."
Terra smiled, "that's the spirit!"
And they all headed back, but Eric lagged behind. Lauren looked at him, slightly worried.
He smiled and said in his adorable Assie accent, "don't worry. I'll just clean up a little more."
Lauren smiled and left with the others.
Eric looked around and picked up the trash that they had left behind. He put them in the trashcan, and then looked at the two statues. He smiled to himself, then pulled out a walkie talkie sort of thing, "Phase 1: complete."
He put it back in his pocket and caught up with the others.
Yay, I'm done! Yes, it was short, and you can throw tomatoes at me and boo me and stop reading because it is, but ah well!
(A/N: the walkie Talkie thing: that does not mean he is evil)
Now, reviews:
Mayura: I thought it was a little too cheesy, but if you like it, sweet!
Mayura: Yeah, the star bolt thing was a little weird, wasn't it? And, the romance thing was here. Pretend it isn't there and make up your own, if you will!
