Chapter 3

Soon a wooden target shaped as a human appeared not far from Terra on her left. Her golden aura instantly appeared around her, but she didn't raise her hand towards the target. She just looked at it. In a moment stone shards appeared in the air from nothing and flew at the target with great speed. The wooden figure got pierced by the rocks, smashed and then broke into hundreds of pieces. The Titans were shocked by this. They've never seen her control her powers so perfectly and didn't know how could she make stone from thin air. In the meantime new targets appeared, and suffered the same fate as their predecessor. Terra remained motionless, her aura was lifting her long blonde hair lightly. The Titans continued to watch her impressive display of power. Only Raven looked at Terra, suspicion resurfacing within her. Terra's powers have increased dramatically since the last time they met, and that was only one month ago. Nobody could master his/her powers in such a short time. As she was looking at Terra something seemed odd, but Raven couldn't explain what. And then she noticed it. Even though it was sunny Terra had no shadow. Raven was just watching the teen in disbelief. How was this possible?

"Maybe it's her aura. Maybe it somehow over shines the shadow, so it can't be seen. Yes, that'll probably be it." Raven thought to herself, but her doubts remained. Something was certainly out of place with this girl. Raven didn't know what had happened to Terra after the battle with Shade, but this change was far too great to ignore. She decided to tell Robin about this after the training, in private.

Terra finally finished the course. Everyone looked at the display next to the field. 1:23. Now the Titans got shocked even more. They could never even imagine it would be possible to complete the course so fast. After a few seconds of amazement they finally got back into the real world and rushed to congratulate the blonde teen. Everyone except for Raven. She stayed next to the computer and started to analyze the record of the training. The video confirmed what she saw. Terra had no shadow.

"YEAAH, Terra, that was some massive performance!" Cyborg yelled happily, while giving Terra a high-five.

"Yes, I agree with friend Cyborg. This truly was a great and amazing butt-kicking!" Starfire congratulated as well.

"Umm, thanks guys, but it was nothing. I mean I…" Terra tried to explain, but was cut off by Raven again.

"How did you do that?" Raven asked coldly, but her distrust was clearly felt in her voice.

"Did what?" Terra asked.

"How did you make those rock bullets from air? You weren't able do that before you left." the dark Titans continued asking.

"Oh yeah, that's a new trick I learned when I was away. It's actually quite easy. I just have to pull together the small pieces of dust in the air and make rocks out of them. And you can be sure, that there's dust everywhere in the air." Terra explained.

"That was like the most awesome, wicked, cool thing I've ever seen in my life!" even Beast Boy shouted with excitement. He forgot about Raven's worries.

"She must be mistaken about Terra, she's totally in control of her powers." he thought.

But then he remembered Terra's first return. She came back after Slade helped her learn to control her feelings. Beast Boy's optimism faded away as his doubts returned.

"Alright ya'll, I say we celebrate this new high score with watching the TV all day long! The champion chooses the DVD's!" Cyborg yelled and blinked at Terra. She giggled with a sweet voice and started running in the tower. Cyborg went after her. Starfire and Robin gave each other confused looks, none of them understood their behaviour. But they decided to forget about it and went into the tower, holding hands. Only Raven and Beast Boy remained on the training field.

"What's wrong Rae?" BB asked.

"I don't know. Terra has changed. A lot." Raven looked at the tower and pulled her hood up to hide her face.

"I don't trust her. I never did, but now…now she's becoming extremely dangerous." she continued.

"Don't worry Rae. I'm sure she's fine. You just worry too much." BB tried to cheer her up and hugged Raven gently.

"I have to BB. Because you've never been worried about her." Raven thought.

In the Tower, evening

The Titans had finally stopped watching the TV. Terra decided to see three DVD comedies in a row, so everyone was exhausted. After the last film they slowly began to walk back to their rooms to get some well-deserved rest. Only Robin and Raven remained to clean up the mess the others left. They didn't speak to each other, but Robin knew that Raven was worried about something. And he had a pretty good guess what would be the cause of it.

"Terra was very good today at training." Robin said, to start a conversation and to check if his guess was right. Raven didn't answer. She continued cleaning, as if she didn't hear anything. But Robin knew that she had heard him.

"I wonder how she got so good in such a short time." Robin continued and tried to get Raven to talk. She sighed loudly and looked with sad eyes at him.

"Please, can we speak about something else?" she asked him.

"Why, what's the problem with her?" Robin was getting closer to the cause of Raven's sadness.

"It's just that…I don't want to talk about her. In fact, I don't even like the idea of her staying here." Raven said, while picking up some bags of chips from the floor with her telekinetic powers.

"Do you have a problem with her?" Robin asked.

"Well…I don't trust her. And she's changed. Too much, too quickly." Raven was trying to explain her feelings about Terra.

"But she seems to be much more in control of her powers then before." Robin countered.

"Robin, I believe that we should be careful with her. Her powers have increased. You've seen for yourself what was she able to do!" Raven's voice was filling with fear, although she didn't notice. Robin however did.

"But we can't just throw her out! She has no place where she could stay." he continued. Raven's expression suddenly changed from sad to angry, her voice also became louder.

"So what! She doesn't deserve to be here! She's a danger that must be dealt with, one way or another! I don't trust her and neither can you! She's a traitor! She's unpredictable and constantly lies to everyone!" Raven was now almost shouting.

"But…" Robin tried to say something, but Raven didn't let him.

"She has betrayed us twice! TWICE! She mustn't stay! If you won't deal with this, then I will. I won't let her try to kill us again!" Raven was yelling, objects around her got surrounded in a black aura and some dishes were cracking.

"Raven, calm down! I promise, I'll talk with her tomorrow!" Robin tried to save the rest of the tower as his dark friend was losing her control. She finally started to cool down a bit.

"I'm sorry Robin. I just…there's something strange about her. I wanted to show you something earlier. There was something wrong with her during the training. You should see the record of it." Raven explained. Robin thought about it for a second.

"Alright, we'll take a look at it tomorrow." Robin said. Raven nodded and levitated into the air, then hovered out of the common room and into her own room. Robin stood in the common room a for few more moments , thinking about what had Raven said, but then he went to his room as well.

Neither Raven, nor Robin heard the quiet sobs that were coming from Terra's room. She was standing in her room, lights turned off, leaning against the door. She heard their talk. Every word of it.

"They hate me! They'll try to get rid of me!" she thought to herself. Tears were streaming from her blue eyes. She felt that no matter where she went, no one accepted her. She felt cast out, as if she didn't belong anywhere, and she was alone. There was no one to stand by her. She walked to her bed and lay down on it, burying her head under her pillow. She continued to cry there.

"This isn't fair! Everyone hates me! Why?" she whispered to herself, while crying heavily. Suddenly she felt cold and everything became completely silent. She immediately stood up from her bed and looked around her room. However with the lights turned off it was impossible to see anything in the gloomy room.

"H…hello, a-anyone there?" she asked with a frightened voice. No answer came, but she still felt that someone was watching her. She took a few steps forward, still looking for the intruder.

"Answer!" she demanded a bit louder. Still nothing.

"Who are you?" Terra tried again. Suddenly she heard an echoing sigh. She quickly looked around, but couldn't tell where was it coming from. It seemed as if the whole room would be filled by it.

"I've already told you, my love. I have many names, yet neither one truly expresses me. I'm still your friend. The only one you have." a familiar, soft and cold voice said. Terra felt as if her body was freezing, while her scar began to hurt like never before. She took some steps back, even though she didn't know where the voice was coming from. But she knew who was speaking to her.

"Shade?" Terra whispered.
