Heeheehee well I'm gonna try! Well here ya go, another exciting episode of Rebirth of a Broken Doll. Tune in next week for an update!
Warning: Extremley creepy scene ahead!
Terra immediately struggled to cover her nearly bare body, her eyes wide in embarrassment and slight anxiety. Slade smirked at her feeble attempt, his single icy eye traveling up and down her body. Her thin arms could not conceal anything from him. Finally Terra regained her voice when she asked shakily," Slade? What are you doing in here? Did you forget something?" She had hoped that he was here to perhaps, give her undergarments or even explain to her what was to occur during her stay. But that slim hope was shattered quickly.
"Don't talk." Slade commanded softly, his wandering eye still observing the tender curves of her body. Terra noticed this unaccustomed attention and she quickly became nervous, her heart thudding in her decumbent chest. She closed her soft mouth, blue eyes shining with concern, hair still wet lay in long tangles down her back. What's going on? Did I do something wrong? She thought in confusion, feeling Slade's eye boring into her. Oh no! He's judging me! He's going to think I'm not worth his time and training! He's going to make me leave! Frantic thoughts swam through Terra's mind, her arms practically glued to her body. Slade carefully watched her face as she battled with her thoughts, not aware of his scrutinizing. He noticed her eyes go wide with worry and fear. He knew just what she was thinking. After all rejection and betrayal are what morphed this young girl into a broken teenager. And it was these internal weapons that he planned to use to make sure she didn't…wander from him. His gazing eye narrowed in amusement when Terra finally realized that he was studying her face, and quickly turned away from him.
"Turn around, Terra." He ordered dangerously, taking a few steps toward her. He stopped only a foot away from her, his arms folded behind him. Slowly she turned around, arms remained wrapped around her slim body, face pointed to the ground, her long hair had fallen to the front of her shoulders. In an almost gentle manner, Slade gathered her wet locks in his gloved hands and pushed them behind her shoulders, so that she could not conceal herself further. Terra stood still, her torso slightly hunched, as though she hoped to collapse into herself to hide away from his apprehending stare. "Stand up straight." Slade whispered alluringly. Terra straightened her form, her face still a mask of confusion and perplexity. He reached out with his robust arms and grabbed her tiny hands. He met little resistance when he gently pried them from her body and placed them at her sides. She was afraid to fight back. She was intimidated by him the first time she ever laid eyes on him. At that time; however, she had the comforting thought of friends nearby which fueled her confidence and urged her to rebel. But this time she was helpless and exposed. No one could save her. She couldn't even save herself.
When he had her feeble arms down by her sides, he began examining her torso, from her flat stomach up to her nonexistent breasts. Terra began shaking slightly for it was rather cold in the room all of a sudden and she was downright uncomfortable. She had never been studied this intently, especially by a member of the opposite sex. Well not counting Beast Boy's adorable puppy love stare when he thought she wasn't looking. Terra almost forgot what was occurring while she was dwelling on the past. She was snatched back into reality; however, when she felt a strong pair of hand that began to caress her stomach. She yelped and immediately leapt back, her eyes staring at Slade incredously. Slade glared at her, a stare that would make anybody tremble.
"Come here." He whispered menacingly. Terra covered herself again. "But w-," she started before Slade took a step towards her, eye swimming with amusement. "Did I not tell you to remain silent?" he questioned, his eyebrow raised beneath his mask. Terra closed her eyes and nodded in defeat. She had no inclination as to why Slade was acting this way. What were his intentions? What did he want? I must have angered him in some way.
She turned her head away as she continued to feel Slade's hand softly wander over her stomach. Slade smirked maliciously as he felt the young girl trembling under his touch. His hands left her flat stomach and he slowly began to trail his thick fingers up and down her slender arms, her shoulders tensed, small hands balled in fists. Terra bit her tongue to keep from questioning his actions. I'm sure he'll explain everything. He knows what he's doing. He wouldn't hurt me...right? She couldn't bare to look at him in the eye. Not now. A few moments later, she felt Slade lift his fingers from her arms and she thought his little physical examination was over. Not daring to look and find out, the young girl jumped when she felt the dominating hands encircle her ankles. For a split second, Terra could have sworn she heard Slade chuckle darkly. As quiet as death and just as threatening.
Slade took his sweet time, allowing his hands to travel up her lean legs, kneading the muscles with his knuckes. As his hands began to travel up past Terra's knees, he felt her trembling more violently. He shifted his head so he looked up at her from his crouched position, her face hidden by her hair. He guessed it would have been a mask of fear. And he was right. Terra tensed up when his dominating hands reached her thighs, silently pleading for it to be over soon. Why is he doing this? I'm not ready for anything like that! I feel so alone. Why isn't someone helping me? No, I don't need anyone. Yes.
The menacing gloved hands reached the bottom of her shorts. Terra whimpered softly. A slight tug on the thin fabric. Terra opened her mouth to scream. No! I will not let this happen! He IS using me just like everyone! I'll stop him!
But then the hands left her body silently and Slade stood up, his massive form towering over her once more. Terra quickly flicked her face up at him, a mixture of raw emotions radiating off her face. Hmmm...there's fear, anxiety, confusion, anger, and doubt, Slade thought as he mirthfully studied her face. He turned away from the exposed girl and began walking towards the door. He could hear her making gasping sounds behind him, trying to figure out what just happened. He stopped at the doorway, hands clasped tightly behind his back once again. "Rest good tonight, because your training begins tomorrow." He stated quietly without looking at her. Then without another word he exited the room like a ghostly prescense.
Terra let out a big sigh of relief. Well I don't know what his intentions were but I'm glad they didn't go any further. Still dazed, confused and slightly uncomfortable, she crawled into the bed and pulled the sheets over her small form. She slept almost soundly, the overhead lights blazing over her head. She didn't care. She spent almost her whole life stumbling in the darkness. She embraced the light.
