The Path In Witch To Take

Chapter Seven: I Don't Know

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. That, my reader, is common sense.

Hello, Mayura!

I'm sorry, I'm not going to write about their journey up Mt. Recna. How they got up there, is for your mind to wander. I'm just thinking that an eight-chapter story won't be too bad, right? Yes, it's short. I am doomed to write short stories forever. Once I'm making twenty chapter stories, I will finally be at peace. So, I hope you don't mind. I'm still a growing writer! Slowly, but surly, I will rise, and I will reign supreme!

Mayura: Girl, can you just get to the story?

Me: Right. Anyway, I still whish you don't mind. And if you do, sorry! There's nothing I can do now! And I'm sorry this took so long to write, it's such a short chapter. It was really hard to write. I most likely redid this three times, and none seemed right. And this might still suck I don't know! If you could-

Mayura: HURRY UP ALREADY!

Me: Okay, okay. Geeze, someone needs anger management…

Mayura: -death glare- WHAT did you say?

Me: He he, nothing!

Mayura: That's what I thought

Me: Anyway, to the story!

Lauren sat down heavily on a rock, breathing hard. She was exhausted. And who could blame her? They had all just climbed up a mountain for about four hours. Trudging up a path, never stopping to rest, with no scenery to distract them fro their tiredness.

Let's just say that Mt. Recna wasn't the most welcoming place in the world. It was made out of gravel and rock, so it was all grey. There were no trees, no life. No birds chirped, no animals scurried, no leaves swayed in the non-existent breeze. It also had a sense of forbidding. Like it was yelling, "turn back! Turn back or you will never live!"(A/N: think Mt. Doom if you've seen Lord of the Rings)

But they didn't turn back. Some may think them brave, others stupid. It's amazing how fine the line is between the two.

They all rested for about five minutes, unwilling to get up and go onward. They had been climbing for so long and didn't feel like they had made any progress. Finally, Terra slowly stood up and continued down the path. One by one, everyone followed.

They continued down the path, walking just like before, until

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The path suddenly ended, and they were all going down, wind rushing through their hair (or what was left of it. Laughs evilly at Gizmo's bald head. HA HA HA HA…)

Lauren was the first to come to her senses. She quickly started flying up, hovered a little, and dove down again and caught Terra. Now that Terra wasn't plummeting to her death, she could think straight. She lifted a huge rock out of the side of the mountain, and it caught everybody. They all landed safely on the ground.

Terra looked around her. So this was Mt. Recna.

It looked almost exactly like the volcano that she had been imprisoned in. She shivered, thinking of the memory. Things just didn't seem right here.

Lauren was the first one who climbed up the mound of red clay and dirt to where the stone tablet was. Her mind was focused on only one thing: to get out of this freakish world. Just as she reached the top, she heard a scream

"Lauren, look out!"

she looked above her, and there were about ten rocks coming from the ceiling.

Lauren was frozen. She couldn't move. Her instincts told her to run, but her body refused to listen.

Finally, the rocks were surrounded by a yellow era, and Terra gently put them beside herself.

She looked at them, perplexed, "what was that?"

Then, our favorite Australian accent said, "something to destroy you. As is this." A blast of purple energy came from his wristband, which almost hit her as she jumped away.

"What the heck are you doing, Eric?"

Eric smirked, "what does it look like I'm doing. Destroying you, betraying you, getting rid of you, any way you'd like to put it. I was always for the Red Serpent, sent to destroy you. It was quite easy. For a goddess, you really are pretty stupid."

He had her backed ageist a wall. Lauren was still confused.

"But… but…"

He looked at her and smirked, "hope you aren't expecting a goodbye kiss." And with that, the shot her strait in the heart.

Terra gasped.

: Flashback :

"Hope you aren't expecting a goodbye kiss," Terra said evilly, as Beast Boy fell through a hole from the earth.

: Flashback :

Lauren crumbled to the ground. After that was darkness.

"Are you dead?"

"Are you going to wake up?"

"Are you dead?"

"Lauren, please wake up."

Laurens eyes fluttered open, and she reached and touched her head.

"What happened?"

"YOU'RE AWAKE!"

Lauren cringed at the yell and opened her eyes fully. She had Terra by her side, dancing around like a mad woman.

"What happened?" Lauren asked, more clearly this time.

Terra stopped dancing around and bit her lip nervously. So much had happened since Lauren had been knocked out.

"Well, first of all, the Teen Titans came to this world the same way we did," she pointed to the Teen Titans, "and were lead here by Raven. Then, well, Eric…"

Eric. The words pained Lauren, like someone had plunged a knife into her heart. How could he?

"Yeah," she said, as strong as she could muster, "I know what happened with Eric. What happened after he attacked me?"

"Well," Terra said, "I attacked him, he almost shot me too, but then Beast Boy stopped him. The Teen Titans, yes, the real ones, had come, like I said before. Then the Red Serpent came and attacked us from behind. Then, we ended up here."

Lauren then got a good look at where they were. It was a cell, dark with no windows. Actually it wasn't a cell. It was the side of a mountain, and a wall of metal was put, so it reminded Lauren slightly of a lean to.

"What are we going to do?" Lauren asked.

"I don't know."

Yes, I know I'm very bad to leave you with a four-page chappie. Please do not kill me!

-Sets up fortress to keep you from killing me-

Don't hurt me, Mayura!

Now, reviews!

Mayura: I'm glad you had fun at the beach. Did sharks ambush you?

Mayura: Sorry, I didn't take your ideas. Sorry. Don't hate me! Me love kitty! Oh well, I'll just have my character have a cat. KITTY! Yes, he was a double agent. I'm that obvious. And hope your headache goes away.
