Chapter 5

Morning came soon. The sun was already shining, when Raven woke up. She had slept longer than usually, because of her late-night talk with Terra. She remembered that they didn't really end the conversation. Raven quickly put on her blue cloak, pulled up the hood, so her face was covered in a shadow. She exited her room and began to walk towards Terra's room. She wanted to check if she was alright. She still couldn't understand what had happened to Terra, but wanted to find out. Raven knew, that Terra was trying to hide something from her. Something that she couldn't handle alone. Perhaps guilt? Regrets? Or…love?

"No way. She couldn't still be in love with Beast Boy. Not after the last time. Even she has to know, that he loves me!" Raven convinced herself. As she was coming close to the kitchen she had heard laughter. She immediately recognized the voices of her teammates. Especially Beast Boy's sweet, childish, kind, innocent laughter. Raven smiled a bit. She loved even the way he laughs. It had always made her want to laugh with him, but unfortunately she never could because of her powers. However she had also heard a different kind of laughter, one that was familiar, yet she wasn't used to it. She thought about who could it possibly be, until she finally recognized the last voice as well. It was Terra. Now that was strange, so Raven hurried to the kitchen. She entered fast and saw as everyone was sitting next to the table and laughing as if they had just heard the best joke in the world. The only one who looked at her when she entered the kitchen was Terra. She looked in her eyes, and Raven felt the same strange feeling like yesterday during her talk with Terra. Terra was laughing lightly with the other Titans, however her eyes seemed to be…sad. It wasn't real sadness, but for a moment Raven thought that she saw a hint of depression in her eyes, the same look as she had at night.

"What's so funny?" Raven asked with her monotonous voice.

"Oh, hi Rae! Terra was just telling us some great stories about her travels after she had left us a month ago." Cyborg tried to explain, however because he was laughing hard it turned into some sort of shouting that was quite irritating. Raven looked once again at Terra. She shrugged and smiled a bit.

"Well, I don't think that it was so funny, I mean…" Terra tried to speak, but Beast Boy cut her off.

"What do you mean, not funny? The robber's pants fell off during his 'grand escape'! That must have been hilarious!" Beast Boy was yelling as well, and once again started to laugh like crazy. Raven didn't really understand anything she heard here, but decided to leave it. She instead went close to Robin, leaned towards him and whispered.

"Remember what we spoke about yesterday?" she implied. Robin just nodded, and then looked at the others.

"Okay guys, Raven and me have to talk about something, so if you would excuse us for a sec." he said, stood up and left the room with Raven. The others just stared at each other with clueless looks on their faces. Only Terra knew where did Robin and Raven go, although she didn't know what did Raven want to show Robin. But she felt, that no matter what it would be about it sure would be bad for her. She remembered Robin's and Raven's small conversation about her. And then. And then Shade returned. Somehow, he was still there. She felt it even now. Like a quiet hum in the back of her mind. It was always there, constantly whispering his words from the previous night. The memory still hurt.

From the previous night

"I'm your friend Terra. We are allies." he said with a chilling voice.

"Please, leave me alone!" she tried to beg, but it was useless.

"I know you're confused. I can still give you all you want. Knowledge, power, love, care, freedom, security, you name it. All I want you to do is…" Shade sounded so promising, his words true.

"No, I won't deal with you, demon!" Terra resisted. A knock sounded on her door.

"Terra, are you alright?" Raven's voice was heard from outside of her room. Terra tried to speak, to scream for help, but something didn't allow her.

"What, would you trust that half-demoness more than me? Just remember, she was always your enemy, she has never trusted you, she even tried to kill you!" Shade's voice was poisoning her thoughts.

"But you killed me!" Terra whispered to herself.

"Yes, but it was after you betrayed me! If you wouldn't have done that, you would've gotten Beast Boy! Tell me, is it better now? What have you gained from your betrayal? Nothing! They hate you, Beast Boy hates you. They will try to kill you! Again!" Shade's voice was hurting her. Everything he said, every word, seemed to be so true, as if he would know what destiny awaits her. Terra had no more strength to argue with him. She started crying hard.

"Open the door Terra!" – Raven asked her from outside.

"SHE WILL KILL YOU!" Shade's voice yelled at her. The door was torn out of it's place and Shade's voice disappeared. But the feeling, the terror remained.

Back in the kitchen

Terra's memories started to fade away. At least for the time being. Suddenly she felt tense, as if she was in danger. A strange idea came to her from nowhere. Suicide. Yes, that would solve everything. She wanted to leave behind the pain she felt there. Suddenly she felt HIS presence again. Shade. She felt his cold soul, his dark thoughts.

"Umm, sorry guys, but I have to go to my room. You know, I have to do something." Terra said and quickly left the kitchen.

Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy were left there, neither one of them understanding what was happening around them.

Some moments later, computer room

Raven was sitting on a chair while typing some commands on the keyboard of the computer. She was thinking about Terra's behaviour. She really was unpredictable. Yesterday afternoon she was cheerful, at night she was shaking with fear. And this day…well, it was impossible to tell.

"Almost got it." Raven said as the record of the training from the previous day began to load. In a few seconds the entire footage was ready to observe. Raven typed some more commands to select only Terra's part. Soon the record was loaded and ready. Raven started the playback of the camera that was filming Terra. Robin leaned closer.

"Watch her carefully." Raven said with a quiet voice. Both of them watched the blonde girl. She was standing still in the middle of the training course. Nothing strange. However as the training began, both of them noticed, that Terra's shadow started to move, as if it was a flame. It was moving faster and faster until it just disappeared.

"What the hell was that?" Robin asked, absolutely amazed.

"I have no idea. I had thought, that maybe it was the sunshine, or her aura, but…I'm not sure." Raven said.

"Well, there's only one way to find out the truth. Let's go and speak with her about this." Robin said and with that both of them exited the room and went towards the kitchen.

As they arrived they found Beast Boy, Starfire and Cyborg collecting the dishes from the table.

"Where's Terra? We need to speak with her, now!" Robin said. He was worried, that she wasn't with the others. Terra always had and interesting ability to escape from being questioned.

"She said she would be in her room. Why do you…?" Beast Boy tried to ask him, but Robin quickly ran away, Raven following him. The others didn't know what was the problem, but they followed them as well. The group finally reached Terra's room.

"Terra, are you in there? Answer!" Robin shouted. No answer came from the inside. Robin knocked loudly on the steel door.

"Terra, c'mon, open the door!" he shouted again. Still no answer. Robin looked at others, to check if they had any idea. No one spoke, so he decided to open the door. The door slid away and the Titans entered Terra's room. However they immediately stopped and were shocked as they saw Terra. She was sitting on her bed. She held a knife in her right hand, her left arm had many cuts that were bleeding badly. Her crimson blood already stained her bed. Terra looked at them surprised and dropped the knife.

"Terra…what…why…" Beast Boy tried to ask something, but he was too shocked to speak as well. Terra's surprised expression suddenly turned into a huge grin.

"Hi guys! What's the matter? Never seen blood before?" this made the Titans become even more shocked. Not only did she seem to be insane, she was even enjoying this.

"Well, I'd like to stay and chat, but…you know, duty calls." she said and small rocks began to form around her. The Titans, although not knowing what did Terra mean tried to stop her. They wanted to run to her, but just as they wanted to take a step a wall of stone appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm leaving ALONE. Hope this new trick will keep you busy till I get out of here." Terra said. Then she looked at the window and the rock bullets around her flew at the window and pierced it. The rock bulletswerecontinuing to weaken the window, until it broke. At the same moment the stonewall broke as well, thanks to Beast Boy, who was transformed into a bear and smashed it down. They saw Terra jump out through the broken window. The Titans ran to it and saw that Terra landed on a huge boulder that was picked from the ground and was now flying away from the tower.

"Titans, we can't let her run away! Star, Rae, BB! Go after her, me and Cy will follow you with the car!" Robin quickly gave the orders. Everyone nodded.

"Titans, GO!" he yelled and the Titans began chasing the blonde teen.
