Chapter 8 – Apprentice Part 3

"Awesome." She said punching the air, "rockin party here I come!"

When they rocked through the door, loud music filled their ears.

"This is awesome!" Sage yelled to be heard.

"Isn't it?" Terra yelled back.

"Oh, yeah!"

Sage walked on to the dance floor, and immediately starting dancing to Pump It, by the Black Eyed Peas. As she danced Terra walked over to the makeshift "bar" to get some "drinks." The guys hosting the party couldn't pass off their fake ID's so, couldn't get any alcoholic drinks.

"Too bad." Terra said shrugging, walked away with two cokes.

She managed to pull Sage off the dance floor, handing the smiling girl a coke.

"This party ROCKS!" She yelled, putting a loud emphasis on the word rocks.

"I know!" Terra yelled back.

The two girls sat on the stairs, for 10 minutes, pointing out any hot guy that walked by. Finally Sage got up, telling Terra that she absolutely had to go dancing. Terra smiled and nodded. When she was sure Sage wouldn't be able to hear her or see her, even with advanced senses. She turned away and walked upstairs to the bathroom, she locked the door and walked to the sink. She dumped Sage's coke down the drain, and pulled out a bottle from her bag. She poured the liquid inside of the coke can and then placed the half-full bottle back in her bag. She looked at herself in the mirror, she was never one to primp, but she did anyway. She walked back downstairs 20 minutes later and once again pulled the smiling Sage off the dance floor.

"Wow! The music is AWESOME" She yelled.

"Yeah I know." Terra yelled back.

Sage looked at her funny and Terra almost stopped breathing.

"Where'd you go?" She said looking puzzled.

"What do you mean?" Terra looked back, inside she was scrambling to find anything that could have possibly gone wrong.

"After I went back on the dance floor, I looked back over, 'cause I met this guy, that I thought you would like and you weren't there, I had to pretend I was having some kind of spaz attack!"

"Oh, I just went to the bathroom."

"Then what's that smell? It's not something you would normally find in a bathroom."

"Oh… umm… that it's just…" 'Crap, I forgot she has an advanced sense of smell.' "It's this perfume this girl I past was wearing."

"Whatever."

Terra sighed and almost fell off the stairs (don't ask how you can do that) when she remembered the coke can and Sage was just getting up to go dancing again. 'How does she do it? I mean, she's been out there dancing for an hour and she hasn't even broken a sweat.'

"Sage!" She yelled.

Sage looked back and started walking back towards her, "yeah?"

"Don't you want a drink?"

"Sure."

She walked back over to Terra and took the coke that Terra was holding out to her.

"You know, I don't see why the rest of the Titans seemed threatened when you just suddenly appeared or whatever, I mean you seem like a nice person, I have no idea what their deal is!" She said, striking a cord inside Terra. She was about to say something, like 'Stop, don't drink that.' But Sage had already downed the entire can.

'Oh well nothing I can do about it now.'

"Woah, that was weird tasting coke." Sage said staring at the coke can. She shrugged and tossed it in the blue box.

"Hey Sage," Terra said grabbing her arm.

"Yeah?"

"They are gonna have karaoke in like a minute why don't you sing?"

"Hmm," she said as she considered it. "Sure why not?"

She walked over to where someone was helping the DJ set up a microphone, for the singers.

'Hmm, I wonder what song should I do? Just Lose it – Eminem, nah, I'm not a good rapper, Boyfriend – Ashlee Simpson, hmm, nah. Walk Away – Kelly Clarkson, hmm, why not?'

Terra watched as Sage walked away, already swaying a bit. Then she almost tripped, she quickly stopped herself, quickly looked around to see if anyone noticed and brushed her self off. Terra almost felt bad for doing that. But, she just smiled to herself and she felt better.

'Singing will drain even more energy. This shouldn't take long.'

Sage walked up to the DJ and told him what song to play. The beat started.

She walked on the "stage" grabbed the microphone,

"Walk Away"

You've got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover
Tellin' you what to say

She was dancing along with the beat

You think I'm stupid
But the truth is
That it's cupid, baby
Lovin' you has made me this way

She started getting more and more into it.

So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation's getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can take, oh

As soon as she got into it, she was really good, no longer shy, it was she was alone, singing.

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away

Everyone was cheering now, for the newcomer. She smiled and kept on singing.

I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed?

She danced around the small area, and sang to her hearts content.

I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I'm all alone

Terra couldn't see her now, and could barely hear her, from everyone crowding around her, to them cheering.

So, before you start defendin'
Baby, stop all your pretendin'
I know you know I know
So what's the point in being slow
Let's get the show on the road today
Hey

Terra had to admit, Sage wasn't that bad, in fact she found herself saying to the music.

I wanna love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I wanna man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
'Cause if you don't then just leave

I'm looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away

If you don't have the answer
Walk away
Just walk away
Then just leave
Yeah yeah
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

And then regretfully the music was over. Sage bounded over to Terra, who congratulated her.

"That was amazing!" Terra said giving her a high five.

"Thanks, you really thinks so?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"I am like wiped, let's go, holy sh," she stopped herself from swearing just that once, "it's midnight!"

"Well let's go then!"

As they walked back to the tower, Terra was extremely confused.

'She should almost be falling over, how come she looks like she ready to go party for another four hours?'

Sage looked back, because Terra had stopped.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Sage called worried. All of a sudden her head started pounding, she hit her knees and groaned in pain as she rocks cut into her knees and as the pounding in her head got louder and louder.

She looked up at Terra, who looked genuinely concerned.

'It shouldn't be causing her this much pain. What's wrong? Slade said that if I hurt her, he'll hurt me. Does this count?'

Finally, Sage hit the dirt. She looked up one more time at Terra, then her eyes closed.

Sage woke up to nothing, normally her room had light streaming in through the crack she always left in her curtains. The pounding was still there, but not as bad. She craned her head around to see if she could see anything. As her senses started coming back she heard footsteps, smelt metal, felt cloth on her face 'oh I'm wearing a blindfold, that would explain it.' And started to see material falling away from her face.

When the blindfold hit the ground she saw one of Slades robots, black beady, metallic eyes staring at her. She was going to punch him out by, when she tried to move her arms, she felt the coldness of metal touch the skin on her bare wrists.

"Wha…" Her eyes opened wider with horror, she couldn't speak.

'What is this? Why am I here? Wait, where am I?'

All those questions weren't going to get answered in her mind, so she started clearing her throat, hoping that it might help her talk.

"What is this?" It worked! " Why am I here? Where am I?"

She was struggling now.

"Hush, dear child."

Sage froze she knew that voice, and besides only one, well actually two people in the universe ever called her 'dear child' and one was dead. So, it had to be…

"Slade." She growled. "Wait where's Terra?"

"What do you mean you don't know where Sage is?" Robin demanded.

"I'm sorry, we were walking home and, well I thought I saw Sage walking beside me the whole way. I guess she must've left early this morning." Terra defended.

"What's all the screaming about? You woke me up from my beauty sleep." Beast Boy said with a yawn, as he walked in, grabbed a cup of OJ and sat down.

"We all know you need it." Was heard as Raven walked through the door, awoken by the same sound as Beast Boy.

"Hilarious, Raven!" Star said as she flew into the living room, only a few steps behind Raven.

"We'll finish this conversation later." Robin told Terra.

"Hey did anyone see Sage this morning?" Beast Boy suddenly asked. "Cause she's not in her room."

Robin and Terra both looked at him and then at each other.

"Any luck Cyborg?" Robin asked through his communicator.

"No, I can't pick up on her signal anywhere. I think her locator must've been taken off…WAIT!"

"What?" Beast Boy's voice came through this time.

"I'm picking up on her communicator." Cyborg answered.

"So am I." Raven said this time.

They all ended up at the same place. Terra was holding up a communicator.

"Is this hers?" She asked.

Cyborg looked at it carefully, it was pretty banged up, but you could still see the flames that Sage had painted, very carefully and lovingly on it.

"Yes." He answered slowly, still trying to get over the fact that she painted it. "By the way it's all beat up, I think, she was either in a struggle, or, too many people stepped on it."

"Oh, I wish to know where friend is now, please." Starfire pleaded with Robin.

"We all do Star, we all do." Was the only thing that Beast Boy had said in an hour, that they had been searching.

Beast Boy was thinking.

'I'll protect you Sage, I promise. Slade must be after Sage. Oh no! Keep him away from me. Let's not think about this now! I'm going out. Hi, I'm Terra, I'm Sage. I'm going out with Terra k? Where is Sage? It's pretty beat up.' He was remembering everything that had happened in the past few days. 'I promised I would protect her, and now look. Some protector I am.'
