Depressing chapter! kay, so i'm gonna be away for a couple weeks so don't expect updates for a bit. BUT you still must R&R!

I do not own Teen Titans.


I was walking home from school when 'it' happened. My house was in what I like to call "cow town". We had a home in between a few big farms. I was going through our neighbor's field when I suddenly heard heavy footfalls behind me. I turned abruptly only to see Lenny's huge older brothers on my either side.

"What do you w-w-want", I asked breathlessly.

"Did you know that my little brother hasn't woken up yet"? Connor, the oldest, informed me.

"It was an accident". I whispered, almost to myself.

"My daddy doesn't seem to think so", taunted Burt, giving me a rough push.

"Yeah", added Connor. "He's gonna sue your pa". Connor kicked my legs out, causing me to collapse on the ground, my hands and knees aching at the impact.

"Please", I whimpered, "don't hurt me".

"C'mon", Connor started, "you think were gonna go easy on you cause you're a girl? You don't deserve it, you just a freak of nature".

My throat thickened and my eyes stung with the warning of tears. I didn't want them to see me at my weakest, but I couldn't help it. The tears spilled over my eyelids and rolled down my dirty cheeks leaving behind liquid trails.

"Aww, look", Burt said in a mocking tone, "we made the freak cry".

Burt got to my level and looked into my eyes, his faced twisted with disgust. He was about to throw a punch but I quickly got up and ran to the nearest barn. I immediately crouched behind a bail of hay and waited for them to leave. I peered around and soon noticed how muddy the ground was. My eyes widened. My footprints were clearly visible and lead right to me! They must have observed that too for they were heading to my haystack. There was no way I could get up and hide again without being noticed. They had me cornered .

"No where to hide", Burt sneered.

He dragged me by my shirt from my hiding place and punched me across the face. I put a hand to my stinging cheeked, and tripped backwards. They had me backed up against the barn and I knew the only way out was with my powers. I didn't want to hurt them, just get out of danger. I tried to summon a rock to help me escape but I couldn't do it.

The ground started to shake and a crack formed on it's muddy surface. The crack grew and grew until the barn was swallowed whole. The brothers ran away, and I stood there petrified. Not knowing what to do I just ran across the fields and woods until I collapsed in exhaustion.

Cradling my knees in an undignified heap I started to cry.

"I am a freak". I sobbed to myself.


aww :- R&R
