Chapter 11

Terra jumped off the rock right into the common room. Cyborg was about to stand up when the boulder outside was launched at him and once again hit him, now smashing him into the wall. He was in too much pain to even move. He saw as Terra was approaching the couch. He wanted to move, to save Raven, but he had no strength left.

"Terra…don't…" – Cyborg tried to speak, but then fell unconscious. The traitor looked at him. Maybe she had hit him too much? Maybe. But it doesn't matter. She looked at Raven who was now trying to get up from the couch. She was obviously in no condition to fight, but she's never been the one to give up without a fight.

"You. Again." – Raven was panting heavily, even standing was too exhausting for her. Terra punched her in the face and Raven fell on the ground.

"Why?" – Raven whispered. Terra kicked her in the stomach.

"How dare you ask this! You brought me back to this world, just to see how much Beast Boy loves you! You made me suffer more then anyone ever before! And you still ask me why do I do this? Well, I won't let you steal BB from me!" – Terra was now fully enraged. She kicked Raven with such a force that she flew through half the room.

"But don't worry Raven. I won't kill you. That pleasure has already been reserved by someone else. And I've promised to bring you to him alive!" – Terra said, now with a more calm voice. She picked up Raven from the ground and carried her to the shattered window. She looked at the shores of the island. She remembered the image of her and Beast Boy sitting there happily. She knew that it was wrong what she was doing, but she did it for a good thing. She did it for love. One of the rocks down below flew up to them, she stood onto it and put Raven's body on it as well. She looked back at Cyborg, who was partly covered by rocks.

"I shouldn't have done this." – she said to herself, but then decided to forget about her remorse and flew with the stone in the direction of the crater.

At the crater

The Titans were trying to fight with the darkling, without success however. He just seemed to be playing with them. He dodged Starfire's every starbolt, Robin's and Beast Boy's attacks and he didn't even fight back.

"This is boring! Your reputation is far too exaggerated." – Shade said, still smiling coldly.

"Exaggerate this!" – Robin shouted as he jumped forward and punched the darkling in face. At least that was the place where his fist met the darkling, but in the moment of the impact Robin's fist went right through a black cloud.

"What the hell?" – he was surprised to see that the entire body of the darkling was now just one cloud. It swirled around his hand, flew a bit higher and reformed into the shape of the darkling again in less then a second. He was holding Robin's hand and was upside down. As he turned around in the air and landed on his feet he dragged Robin and released him in mid-air. This sent Robin flying through the air and finally falling to the ground.

"Oh please Robin! You must be joking, you couldn't possibly hope to defeat me!" – he said with a sarcastic voice. In the next second a barrage of green starbolts tore up the area where he was standing.

"Do not harm him!" – Starfire yelled furiously. The smoke from the ground was blown away by the wind, however Shade was nowhere. Starfire looked at the crater, trying to locate the demon.

"Looking for someone?" – a cold whisper came from the left side and after that a swift and powerful punch. Starfire fell to the ground.

"Almost too easy." – Shade laughed.

"And how 'bout this?" – came a voice from below him. Shade looked down and saw a massive boulder that was flying towards him. On the ground he saw the changeling who was morphed into a gorilla. Shade smiled a bit at his futile effort. He raised his hand towards the rock, which instantly became enveloped in a black aura like Raven's. However he didn't throw the rock back at the green Titan. He's madea promise, and had to see how did his newly acquired help perform back at the Titan tower. She might have her uses in the future as well and it's always good to watch out for traitors. Shade closed his hand, the stone began to crack and then exploded. The darkling landed softly on the ground, and faced Beast Boy.

"Alright, there've been enough fun for one day. Now let's wait for our final contestant. Hopefully she'll arrive any second now. I've given her more then enough time." – Shade looked at the sky.

"What are you talking about?" – Beast Boy yelled at him. Shade was amused by the anger of the shapeshifter.

"So impatient, so full of life, so emotional. No wonder both of them love you." – Shade said. Before Beast Boy could even understand what did the darkling tell him a small dot appeared on the horizon and was approaching fast. In a few seconds Terra has landed next to Shade, standing on a large rock with Raven lying next to her.

"Terra! What are you doing?" – Beast Boy screamed in shock.

"I'm going to prove to you, that I deserve your love, not her!" – Terra pointed at Raven.

"What has she have to do with this?" – Beast Boy asked Terra. But instead of the girl the shadow has answered.

"Everything. She's the reason why all of this has happened. She and her feelings for you." – Shade explained.

"Her…feelings for me?" – Beast Boy couldn't believe what he was hearing. His ignorance amused the darkling even more.

"Oh, so you didn't know? I admit, she's difficult to understand. I was puzzled by her motives as well in the beginning, but it didn't take too long to realize why did she almost sacrifice herself for you. Because she loves you. She loves you so much, that she was ready to die just so you can be happy with this cute blonde girl." – Shade looked at Terra and then continued.

"The ritual required her to remove all pleasure from her life and then begin the reviving just before the dawn. That's why she didn't eat, why she didn't speak with any of her friends, and why she had left so abruptly.She was so close to succeeding. All the negativity inside her was released in a single glorious moment, thus bringing your girlfriend back to life. She was supposed to die during the ritual, so Terra could live. But…a minor flaw has appeared in her plans. You had found her. And not only that, but you saved her! And that's why I'm here. I'm a fragment of her negativity, a part of her demon side." – Shade continued, his voice was becoming more and more powerful. Terra, who was standing next to him, began to move away from him, as she realized what had she really done. She has finally remembered when did she feel this kind of tension and danger. It was when she managed to upset Raven during their fight. When Raven was overwhelmed by her own demonic side she had felt the same way. But this was much more powerful. This was pure hatred flowing from him.

"And now that Terra's helped me to get my hands on the only person who could stop me, I'll be able to shatter the last barriers within Raven's soul, releasing my fellow demon brothers on this world, AND WITH THIS I'LL CREATE A PARADISE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS ON EARTH!" – Shade's voice has now changed completely. It was the General's voice. The General of Hell. Beast Boy couldn't think now. This was worse then any nightmare. The Titans all, but defeated, Raven helplessly lying on the ground and a powerful demon was now unveiling his plans. And there was nothing he could do, to stop him. He was fighting back tears and looked at Terra. He still loved her, but she has broken his heart again. And this time it was worse. This time there wasn't a chance to win.

"Why Terra? Why did you do this?" – he was now crying.

"Beast Boy, I'm sorry. All I've ever wanted was your love! You have to believe me!" – Terra was pleading.

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE ALLIED WITH THIS DEMON? THAT'S WHY YOU'VE BETRAYED US AGAIN?" – he was now shouting. But he still couldn't hate her. He has always believed that Terra was never evil. He was now desperate to at least understand why did she do this.

"Please, Beast Boy stop! I just wanted your love! But with her around you could never love me. Shade's promised me that we could be together forever happily!" – Terra was trying to convince Beast Boy.

"If you would truly love me, you wouldn't have done this. You know how important Raven is to me. I could never be happy, if she was dead." – Beast Boy said quietly. Silence filled the space between them. Terra felt guilty and she knew that she really messed up things now. She didn't know the true price she would have to pay for her happiness.

"In that case there's only one thing to do." – she whispered. Beast Boy looked at her and she smiled. It was friendly smile and Beast Boy knew that she's finally decided to choose one of the sides in this conflict. Terra's hands started glowing with a golden light and she pointed them at Shade. All the rocks in the crater were thrown at the darkling and he was buried beneath them, completely surprised by Terra's sudden attack.

"Run away Beast Boy! Take Raven to safety!" – Terra yelled at BB. He immediately ran to Raven.

"Come Terra with us!" – Beast Boy told her.

"No. I must remain and fight this demon." – she answered.

"Please come, I don't want to lose you the second time as well!" – he pleaded. Terra smiled at him kindly and whispered.

"This just wasn't meant to be."

Beast Boy nodded sadly and then transformed into a pterodactyl, picked up Raven from the ground and flew away with her. Terra looked at him and a small tear rolled down her face.

"Touching, isn't it?" – the familiar soft, cold voice whispered behind her. She turned around and saw as Shade flung his hand towards her. Then she felt sharp pain. She looked down and saw that Shade was holding a black sword. The blade was cold. She saw as a crimson fluid slowly began to flow down on it. It was her blood. Terra fell to her knees and everything was becoming blurry. She felt dizzy and cold was taking over her body. She looked up one last time at the young boy, who was still holding the sword, still inside her.

"What a shame. I thought you'll be more loyal after your first death." – he said coldly, stepped on her shoulder and kicked her away, pulling out his sword. Terra was dead.
