Chapter Sixteen: Late Night
Terra had trouble sleeping that night, she woke up several times, not sure why. Once again waking at 3a.m. she finally got out of bed and decided to get a drink of water. The entire tower was dark, only the light of the moon outside the large windows lit the halls. Grabbing a cup she filled it half full with water from the sink. She sipped the water slowly, gazing out of the window at the moon and thousands of stars surrounding it. When Terra lived outside, before she met the Titans, she loved watching the night sky for hours. The sky used to be Terra's television and the rocks were her bed, she loved that life, but she loved the life she lived now just as much. Terra had changed since the day she met the Titans and she hadn't changed for the best. But the night sky would always be beautiful to her. Slurping down the rest of her water, Terra decided to go to the roof.
Shivering slightly when she touched the cold surface, Terra laid down on her back and stared up at the vast space in front of her. Silence engulfed the roof and all she could hear was the low hum of an occasional car driving through the city. Cold began to embrace her body and she finally decided to go back into the warm confines of the tower and try to go back to sleep.
Covering herself with a blanket Terra was unable to fall asleep and she knew it was because she was nervous about the events that would go on later that day. Terra had faced the Titans in battle twice before and while she did she felt nothing: no regret, no grief, and not even pity. She knew she could fight them, she just wasn't sure if she could beat them.
After an hour of lying in bed Terra drifted of into a light dreamless sleep. The sun rose at about 7 a.m., but Terra didn't wake till 10. Terra rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, looking sleepily around the room. She spotted something in the corner of her room, but couldn't tell what it was, her eyes hadn't fully adjusted yet and the curtains on her huge windows were drawn shut. "Hello?" Terra asked tiredly.
"Good morning Terra," Slasher's said from the corner.
"Slasher? What are you doing here?"
"Today is the day, Terra. I need to tell you my plan before sending you to Azarath."
Stretching her arms above her head Terra yawned loudly. "I am ready," she said, sounding more awake than before.
"You should get some food first, you don't want the Titans to get suspicious," Slasher's voice never seemed to change, at least not when he talked to Terra.
"Are you sure?" Terra asked.
"Yes, I will be here when you get back."
"Okay, whatever you say," Terra climbed out of bed and regained her sense of balance before walking out of the room.
Beast Boy, a late riser, was eating a bowl of cereal at the kitchen counter. Sipping coffee out of his cup, Robin read the paper, sitting next to Beast Boy at the counter. Starfire and Cyborg sat next to each other watching the television.
Beast Boy tensed when Terra walked through the doors, trying his best to ignore her. She had already decided to act like nothing had happened between them. Walking behind Beast Boy and Robin she went into the kitchen and prepared a bowl of some cereal that was packed full of sugar. Terra took the bar stool next to Robin, who now separated Beast Boy and herself.
"Morning," Robin greeted before putting his coffee cup to his lips.
"Hey," Terra greeted flatly. That was the full extent of their conversation: only two words.
"Combat practice today," Robin said loud enough for Cyborg and Starfire to hear.
Sighing, Beast Boy stared down at his cereal that was barely touched. It seemed like everyone had all ready forgotten about Raven, they all had given up hope and decided to just act like she was never there. He wasn't hungry, he got up and dumped the rest of his breakfast down the sink.
Walking out of the main room, he was going to his bedroom. On his way to his room, he passed Raven's door and stopped outside. Looking both to his right and then his left to make sure no one was watching him, he opened Raven's door and went inside.
The room was empty and a depressing silence occupied the room. He wiped a thin layer of dust off the spines of some of the books on one of the shelves in her book case. Some of the books were missing and spaces were left between some of the books. Sauntering around her room he saw all of the things that made Raven who she was. Beast Boy noticed her hand mirror was missing form her vanity.
Sitting on the edge of her bed he started to cry softly and put his head in his hands. Guilt consumed him, he thought it was his fault Raven had left and he wish he could apologize for scaring her. Looking up from his hands his wet eyes searched the room, just then he spotted a knife on her dresser. The knife had dried blood on the blade, the sight of the knife made him cry harder. Did he make her want to kill herself, was he the reason for all of her problems. Staring at the knife he considered getting it and slitting his own wrists. If he was the one who caused Raven so much pain maybe he should kill himself, for her. If he was gone maybe she could be happy.
He couldn't do it, he was too scared and before he did something like that he needed to apologize to Raven. If he was going to do something like that he needed to clear his conscience first.
Starfire happened to walk by Raven's room and she heard something inside. Peeking inside the room, curious to find what was producing the noise, she spied Beast Boy. "Beast Boy?" Starfire asked.
Not answering Beast Boy continued to cry into his hands. Starfire walked in and shut the door behind herself. "Beast Boy," she whispered, sitting down next to him on the bed. Gently she set her arm over his shoulders. "I too miss Raven."
"I think it's my fault that she left," Beast Boy sobbed.
"Why would you think such things?" Starfire asked with concern.
"I talked to her right before she left."
"What did you talk about?" Starfire questioned curiously.
"I-I-I...," Beast Boy stuttered, "I told her I loved her." A small gasp escaped Starfire's lips. "And then she left me," Beast Boy said woefully.
"I am quite sure that Raven was just afraid, she most probably did not know what how to respond. I am positive that Raven likes you back." Starfire said trying to comfort Beast Boy.
"How are you so sure?" Beast Boy asked skeptically.
"She has not really told, but I can tell. It is quite obvious she has feelings for you. She will come back, Beast Boy. I know she will come back," Starfire assured him.
"You really think so, Star?" Beast Boy asked with a glimmer of hope in his voice.
"Yes," Starfire said confidently. Beast Boy turned and hugged Starfire, who smiled and hugged him tightly back making sure not to squeeze him to hard.
"I sure hope your right. Thanks, Starfire," Beast Boy stated his voice began to grow cheerful again.
"You are most welcome, friend."
Taking her time eating, Terra was in deep thought about what she was going to be doing later that day. She could fight Raven, but she hoped she wouldn't have to fight the other Titans. If she had to, she could fight the others, but she didn't want to. She wanted to punish Beast Boy by killing Raven, she knew that would be harder for him then if she killed him. Mindlessly Terra shoveled cereal into her mouth until there was nothing but milk left in the bowl. Sighing Terra stood up and went to put the bowl into the sink.
"Something wrong?" Robin asked from behind the paper.
"Huh? Oh, no, everything's fine," Terra declared. "I'll see you guys later." Terra began to shuffle toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Cyborg asked curiously from the couch.
"I am just going back to my room," Terra said suspiciously, nervous that the robotic man might know more than he should.
"Don't be late to combat practice," Robin commanded.
"I won't be," Terra walked out of the room without another word.
Right when Terra stepped into her room she heard Slasher's voice.
"Are you ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"Good. I am a telepath, so while you are in Azarath I may give you some advice, but do not expect me to save you if you are in trouble," Slasher said monotonously.
"I won't."
"When you get to Azarath got to the large white tower with a bird symbol on it, that is where Raven is staying," Slasher briefed Terra.
"I know what to do," Terra said seriously.
"Good luck," Terra disappeared from her room.
Everything went black for a split second, as if Terra had shut her eyes and gone to sleep for an instant. Waking up Terra peered at her surroundings, she was standing on a humongous floating boulder, which was to her advantage. Seeing the beautiful city before her, Terra stared in awe at the gorgeous sight for a minute. Remembering her mission, Terra lifted a small piece of rock under her. Lifting the rock high over the city, Terra searched for her target. The spotless white tower was hard to miss. Levitating over the buildings Terra halted the rock she stood upon in front of the tower's balcony.
Terra lifted a large boulder and threw it at the side of the tower. "Raven, we need to talk!" Terra yelled, trying to get Raven's attention.
Sitting on her bed reading a book, Raven suddenly heard something large hit the side of the tower. Then, she heard something she was not expecting, Terra's voice. Standing up Raven sprinted out of her room towards the balcony. Rushing out the door Raven was greeted by Terra, who was floating on a rock, her eyes glowed bright yellow.
"Terra, what are you doing hear?" Raven hissed.
"I came to finish what I started," Terra answered in an demonic tone.
A/N: Get ready for a big fight because it is finally here. This chapter was pretty bad, but I had to do it to set up for the fight scene next chapter. I hope you liked the cliffhanger, I couldn't help myself. I will try to update soon, but I have finals all week, so don't get your hopes up. Till next chapter, just chill and if you have the time, review, please.
Blondepunk62442: Yeah I know those squirrels, if I had a pet squirrel I would teach it to make cars crash like that and I would attach a laser beam to it's back, that would be awesome. Only one more step to taking over this pathetic race? That's a lot closer than I ever got. Well, good luck.
BlackoutHart: Cherish the new episodes of Teen Titans now, while you still have so many left. I wish I would have appreciated Teen Titans more while it was on. Go live your dream and become a chef, live your life with no regrets. Thanks, I like cake.
Monitor Supreme: Lol I might cut her legs and arms off, but if I don't do that I promise she will suffer.
Shade Spitfire: Thank you, I am honored to have made it onto your favorites list.
bb-and-raven-rock: Yeah, I was totally stuck on the last chapter I am just trying to make it build up to a big fight. I wrote that at like 2 a.m. anyway, so sorry about that one.
cheesebot12: I like having it mysterious because then the reader can like make up their own ideas and opinions about it, or whatever. I am SUPER happy you love it, even if I am a total idiot, lol.
Half-Gothic Chick: Thank you, who on here has seen the 5 season? It seems like I am the only one, lol. Well, watch Teen Titans! That's all I have to say.
Lilliesofthevalley: I just got stuck on that chapter so I didn't have anymore stuff to write. I promise the next chapter will be longer. Slasher is one evil dude, just wait until the next couple chapters.
ravenmasteroftele: I agree, random stuff is always funny. Thank you, I am glad you liked that chapter, even though it kind of sucked.
Moon's Darkness: Yeah, a picture of his parents would make sense, even though they made a few insinuation that Batman was his dad, which doesn't even make sense. I think he had pictures of Starfire in the shower in the suitcase, lol.
Hide-because-it's-me: No offence taken, I think that chapter kind of sucked, I was completely stuck. The Titans came back and they saw that all of their favorite stores were gone and an office complex was being built where there stores used to be. They started fighting a creature that changed into whatever he touched, like steel and water. While fighting it Beast Boy saw a girl that looked identical to Terra, but he lost her. While the others were fighting he went to where Terra's statue had been and it was no longer there. He went to the tower and user the computer to try and find her. The others though he was going crazy or that the effects had worn off and she was truly back. He went to all of the places they had been to. After he walked hopelessly down the streets. By luck he spotted Terra in front of a school, but she didn't recognize him. He finally talked her into getting pizza and he talked all about what she was like, but she had no memory of any of it. He talked her into going back to the tower, when she saw her room she said she never like the outdoors. Finally remembering her powers B.B. throws mud in her face. She leaves in huff. He goes back to the house of mirrors and is attacked by a Slade bot. Slade tells him she didn't want to remember the Titans and Beast Boy destroys the robot. He stalks her at school until she talks to him. While talking to her in the school's hall Robin calls him and tells him they need his help. Terra says that she isn't Terra and that she's not out to save the world, she is just a girl with a geometry test and I haven't studied. She leaves him and then he calls Robin back and tells him he is coming. The end. Sorry, you probably didn't want the whole episode, but I am bored. The open ending made me depressed.
KuroNeko1492: Sure thing, I hope you like the episode.
-EHWIES: Thank you, all of your advice is very wise. You are too cool.
disappearer/Syani: I must admit, Terra isn't that bad, but something about her makes me hate her. I understand if you like her and I have nothing against you because of it. Things Change was probably the best ending Teen Titans could have had, but I probably wouldn't like any ending. I bet Slade is some 40 year old loser who loves Star Trek and still lives with his mom.
Dreamergirl02: YOU ROCK THE RULES! Yeah sorry, I don't want to kill anyone, but I LOVE writing cliff hangers. When I see a good cliffhanger I have to use it, I can't help myself. I will try to make my chapters a little longer, but not too long. I am not so sure of Avril Lavigne, but POWERMAN 5000 RULES! Sorry, but I gotta love heavy metal.
queenOFanime535: Thank you, I am super happy that you think it's good. You're too kind.
