Telling her story Pt.2
Brian and Terra were still in Terra's room. Beastboy was still on the wall, and everything was still coming into the open. Terra was debating in her head if she should tell Brian the rest. He said that he would still be her friend, but was she sure that he would keep it.
"You promise that you will still be my friend?" she asked
"Terra I promise." Brian assured her.
"Alright. So after that night I went to Slade, completely this time. I had no doubts and no regrets in my decision to go to Slade at the time. I was ready to take down the Titans, I wanted them out of my life and out of existence. But apart me said that I brought it upon myself, and I should be angry at myself and not them. But I pushed those thoughts aside, no longer listening to reason or guilt. I was a full fledged criminal, and I wanted it that way.
Once I was Slade's apprentice we made plans to annihilate the Titans. One day when the Titans least expected it I attacked. I attacked with no mercy and no hesitation. I was evil in the way I fought, I exploded their weaknesses, used the fact that they wouldn't attack me because I was once their friend to my advantage. I also had this suit. It allowed Slade to help me in battles. I thought this was a major bonus.
I can remember the when I attacked Raven, and Starfire saved her. She threw the rock that I had been controlling aside and hit me with her eye beams. I was knocked up against a rock. I pretended that I was knocked out. She flew up to me all worried, like I was still her friend. I took advantage of her weakness and said "You were always easy to fool." then I hit with a rock. I was so evil Brian, I don't know what I was thinking. Starfire was so innocent and loving, how could I have done that to her, to any of them." Terra's eyes were now so filled with held back tears they stung her eyes.
"Eventually I took down everyone of them. While doing so I taunted them and brought up weaknesses that I only knew about. I hurt them physically and mentally. And I had no regrets. And with the Titans gone Slade and I took control of the city and all surrounding areas. After a while the city was completely deserted. Memories of the Titans filled my mind. Regrets were starting to arise. But I pushed them away.
Even though I had thought that I had destroyed the Titans, they were still alive. When they came out to attack me I was petrified, I couldn't come to fight at first. I was scared because of what they would do to me, and of what Slade would do. So I ran. I always thought that running would solve my problems, but this time it only dug me in deeper. They followed me. Slade told me to fight back, he told me that he could only help me if I stayed and fought. But I didn't listen. The Titans were attacking with everything they had. This time they showed no mercy or sympathy. I went back to Slade's hide out as fast I could. But this was a big mistake. He was furious. He said that I had failed him again. He hit me and beat me until I couldn't even stand. I told him that I was finished with him, that I was fed up with him. He told me it was too late, no body would want me, nobody would have me. I didn't care, as long as I was away from him. "It's not too late for me to walk out the door." I said back to him. But he did something I didn't expect. He took control of my body, my powers, me. He said that I made a promise to work by his side forever, and her intended to make me keep it. I couldn't fight it, he was too strong. We heard someone coming, so Slade went into the shadows and left me there. I was on the ground crying, partly because I hurt so bad, and partly because I was betrayed by Slade, like how I betrayed the Titans.
Beastboy burst through the door. He was so angry, I could just see it in his eyes. But when he saw me on the ground and crying, he quickly came over to me. I told him to destroy me, to get rid of me. I knew that was what he came for, why else would he have followed me?. But he wouldn't, he just wouldn't. Then Slade took control again. He used my power to knock Beastboy into a wall. My body stung all over. Slade made me stand and walk towards Beastboy.
I can remember everything like it was yesterday. Slade told Beastboy, "You'll have to excuse my apprentice, she can't seem to control herself as usual." Beastboy got up and yelled "What have you done to her!" he really seemed to care. Like everything I had done to him, everything that I had done to everybody, didn't matter anymore. Slade answered him by saying, "Nothing she didn't want me to. Terra came to me looking for control. And that's what I gave her, my control, her body." then he made me attack Beastboy. I couldn't stop it. Beastboy came up to me he said to fight it, take control. I said that Slade was too strong, that I had no choice. Then the words he said next stung me more than the suit did. He said, "It 's all been your choice, you chose to work for Slade, you chose to betray us, and you are choosing to give him control. Slade isn't doing this Terra, you are!"
I knew he was right, but I didn't want to hear it. I was so mad that I had made some rocks collapse on him. I didn't mean to, it just happened. He was trapped under some rocks. Slade made me walk closer. I had no choice but to obey. He used my powers to shape a rock in a lethal form. I couldn't break away from his grip. He was going to make me kill Beastboy in the most painful way, he wanted me to impale him with the rock. Beastboy looked up at me. Then the other Titans came in the room. They all had their weapons out and pointed at me. They told me not to do it. I couldn't remember exactly what they said, I was too busy trying to resist Slade's commands over my body. Finally Beastboy spoke up, he said that it was never too late to change."
Brian seemed to be at a loss for words. He just sat listening to Terra's story with wide eyes. While Beastboy was still on wall. It took everything he had to stop himself from tearing up. These were memories he wished that he would never have to remember.
"Those words did it for me. The guilt and regrets came flooding into my head. I realized what a big mistake I had made. I looked back at him and said, "Beastboy I'm sorry, for everything I've done." then I took control, I broke loose of Slade. I attacked him with everything I had. The Titans didn't even join in on my assault. But I didn't care, I just focused on killing Slade. I punched him off a cliff. I thought that I had defeated him, but just to make sure I went over to the edge to check. It seemed like he was gone but seconds later he jumped put of the abyss and knocked me down. He then went over to me and picked me up by my suit. I then looked up at him with my eyes glowing their vibrant yellow. The last thing I said to him was , "You don't control me any more!" then with that I made the volcano that we were in tremble and shake. And as the lava filled the volcano, Slade was burnt to a crisp. Even though I had defeated Slade and realized my mistakes I couldn't go. My powers had triggered the volcano, and it was going to wipe out the whole city. I knew that the Titans wouldn't escape in time. And I knew what I had to do. I had to stay. I knew that saving the Titans and the city could never make up for the things I did, but it was start.
Beastboy told me to go, that it was too late. I smiled and remembered the words he had told me before. I said it was never too late. Then he left, and I went to the center of the chaos." Terra purposely didn't tell Brian about her last seconds with Beastboy. Those moments were only for Terra and Beastboy to know. Then she finished up her story by saying,
"It took everything I had to stop the volcano. I knew that I had to stop it, if I didn't than the Titans would die and the city would be destroyed. I conjured up all the power I had for one last shot. As I let out all the power I had. I could feel something inside of me change, like I was hardening from the inside out. And that's exactly what happened. After I had stopped the volcano I had turned to stone. I was stone for over a year. But during that time I wasn't alone, I could feel someone or something inside me, something that told me to not give up hope. So I didn't. There were so many times that I wanted to ask God to take my life away. To end the suffering and pain, but I listened to the thing inside me and kept faith. Then one day I saw a blur of colors, I didn't know what they were. It was so long since I had seen colors that I didn't know what they were at first. Then the voice inside me told me to go to them, that my waiting was over, and I could go home. So I listened and went towards the colors. And when I reached the end I could fell the rock coming off my body, and for the first time in over a year I saw the Titans standing around me. And here I am now." after that she waited for Brian's response. Brian finally mustered up enough thought to say something.
"Terra, I . . ." was all he managed to say. Terra got up and went to the window.
"I knew it. You hate me! You think I am horrible person don't you. Don't you!" she said very upset. Brian then broke from his trance and actually said a complete sentence.
"No Terra, I don't hate you. I could never hate you. I was just shocked that you went through all that. I am sorry that Slade used you like that. Terra please, I don't hate you." Brian comforted walking over to her. Then he hugged her. She was shocked at first by his action but then hugged him back.
"Thanks Brian, I can always count on you to be there for me." she expressed to him.
"Any time." he said.
"Hey maybe we should go to bed now. We have to train tomorrow, and Robin hates it if we're too tired." Terra said.
"Yeah your right, so I'll see tomorrow morning, ok." Brian said back to Terra while walking to the door. She smiled and answered.
"You better." then he walked out of the room and to his own. And when the door opened Beastboy flew out also.
Beastboy flew to his room. When he got inside he went and laid on his bed. He didn't know if he should be mad or not.
'I mean Terra needed someone to talk to. But why didn't she talk to me. And why did she have to tell Brian! But still, I don't feel mad at her or Brian, maybe I am just over reacting. I mean Terra is allowed to have friends outside the Titans . . . right?" he reassured himself. Then with that he closed his eyes and went to sleep. But what he didn't know was that the next couple of days would bring about not only jealously but heartache with them as well.
O.o
I guess it's kind of a cliffy. Yay! Cliffy! Anyways, I hope you guys liked it. I know the story had a lot more detail than probably necessary, but I wanted it to be that way. Partly because this was the half of the story where Terra realizes her mistakes and sacrifices herself, and also this is her story so I would assume she would give details. So tell me what you think and don't be afraid to put some criticism in the review, just don't be too mean about it. And hopefully I will have the next chap up soon.
