The Path In Witch To Take
Chapter Eight: Someone's Watching Over Me
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, and you don't either. So I guess we're even.
Hello! I'm sorry this chapter will be so short. This is a song fic, and I don't own the song 'Papa I'm Cold' and 'Someone's Watching Over Me' either. I love these songs, and I think that they go with the two girls dilemma. And, I'm not going to put in all of 'Papa I'm Cold.' Just some of it. I love those two songs; they're my absolute fav!
Mayura: tick tock tick tock, I don't have all day!
Ahem. Anyway, the next chapter for this story (the last chapter) will be very, very short. Like one page. That's the bad news. The good news is that I'll update it the day after I finish this chap. Who knows, I might finish it today. So then this story might be over today. Kind of sad. Then, this painful story will soon be over. Then I can debate weather to actually do 'Four Girls' or not. Maybe that was a stupid idea. Maybe I'll do one of those 'the Teen Titans go to school' things. Everyone seems to be doing one of those, and it looks kind of fun. You tell me, would you read it? Or should I not do that? LET ME KNOW! I'm really bad at making decisions.
Mayura: Ahem, ahem. Story would be nice today!
Since when have you been my alarm clock?
Mayura: since you've taken too long with your welcoming!
Okay, then, I'll start right now. Hope you enjoy!

Hope.
Something so easy to get. So easy to loose. And, right now, it was lost.
Terra and Lauren had been trapped in their prison for three days with no food or water. The Red Serpent had meant for them to give up and slowly die from starvation. They had given up trying to get out at the end of the first day. They were now stuck. They would never get home.
And why would we want to? Lauren thought sadly, my entire family is dead; nothing is left to live for.
She looked around. Did she really want to give up so easily? She and Terra were both on different sides of the room. She had tried everything to get hope back. Everything.
She thought sadly of her dad. She loved her dad more then anything, and he had always been there with her and had comforted her. Now he was gone. Forever.
Lauren remembered her favorite musical, 'Berlin Airlift. She remembered one of her favorite songs form it.
Sadly, she started to sing.
"Papa, I'm cold
Papa, I'm lonely
And I can't,
No I can't be brave anymore
Lauren had a beautiful voice, pure and honest. But now, it was filled with sadness and angst
"Why did you go?
Why did you leave me?
How I wish you were home
To take care of me"
Terra looked up, and saw Lauren singing this, sitting down with her feet on the ground, her head in her knees. But her voice was clear
"You said that I must always
Be so brave and strong
But you're mot here to help
And I don't think I can go on
You've gone so far away,
You're not here with me at home
Do you know how it hurts
To be hungry, cold and alone?
Will you come home?
I truly need you
If you were home
I would finely be safe and warm
Lauren stopped singing and started crying softly.
Terra started crying too, though she wasn't as attached to her father as Lauren was. But sill, the song was so sad.
(A/N: isn't it sad? I have a happier song from the same show, and if you want me to, I can send that and this one to you in an e-mail. Just tell of me)
They sat crying for a long time, and finally Terra stopped crying and thought, look at myself! I look so weak, so helpless. I will not be helpless again.
Terra's wheels were then turning. If a song can make them loose hope and be sad, a song can give them hope and make them happy, right? So, she started to sing:
"I found myself today
Oh, I found myself and ran away
But something pulled me back
Voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to stay
But you always used to say
That it's written in the sky tonight"
Terra had a beautiful voice too, but in a different way then Lauren. It was just different, I can't really explain it. She walked over to the other side of the cave and put her arm around Lauren. Lauren slowly stopped crying and opened her eyes. She knew this song…
"So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner then it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shinig all the time
And I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment and to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner then it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I still believe
Someone's watching over me
Then, voice still quivering with tears, Lauren then sang
"It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow you're heart
She sang some more, voice steadily growing stronger.
"So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner then it seems life turns around
Lauren really started feeling to what she was saying, and she started believing them the words that were pouring out of her mouth
(A/N: That's how I feel when I listen to this song
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I still believe
Both Terra and Lauren started singing, really feeling what the song was saying
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner then it seemed life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I still believe
Someone's watching over me"
They hugged, and stood up. No one was going to get the best of them. Slade couldn't, and Eric wouldn't either.
I'm a bad person to give you such a short chapter for the long time that you waited. I'm just trying to make the story longer. Now it will be nine chapters long! Yay!
Now, review!
Mayura: Yeah, I'm like that too. You DON'T want to see me backstage during a show, because the only thing that I can say is "Shhhh" or "Be quiet" or "What part of 'be quiet' do you not understand?" And people find me annoying. And, I have a new catch phrase: Can you people please act sane for one minute? Yeah, that gives you a taste of what I'm like. Ahem, right. Comment. Me almost forgot!
You have great ideas, Mayura, but I really want to finish this story so I can start 'Four Girls'. I have an idea, and I need your approval. I'll e-mail it to you. And I'll be revising your chapter. But I was thinking that maybe you could write one displaying your character the way you want to display her. Then you can give it to me and I'll know exactly what you want. Please do that for me, I'll be able to capture your character the way you want me to. And don't worry about being possessive about your character. That's how I feel about Lauren.
And thank you for the cheesy public message of encouragement! That's one of the reasons I write fan fictions. Yeah, I like people complementing me and encouraging me and reassuring me. I think I need it because (according to my sister) I have very low self-esteem. And who could blame me? It's not that I have anything to be proud about…
And yes, the other two girls e-mailed me back. If you want me to, I can e-mail you the biographies. Actually, you'll just have to wait for the story like everyone else! Ha ha XD
Anyway, this has to be the longest review comment I've ever written. Cool!
Review, if you please!
