Chapter 1: Cole isn't as evil as she was trained to be. . .
Colithia (Cole)
I wake up in the factory/house I have lived in for the past 6 years. I turn my head to the side, making my long, one-of-a-kind brown, hair spiral around my head. I watch as the white snow falls from the sky and lands on the ground. The freshly fallen December snow brings a smile to me face. Today is the first day of December, the start of Winter. Temperature doesn't necessarily affect me when I'm wearing my usual outfit, an island turquoise leotard with long sleeves that have holes for my thumbs, and a slightly darker blue cape. So, I'm different from most humans, but hey, it's better to be different than like everybody else, right? Anyways, now I am freezing so I jump out of my bed instead of slowly sliding out of my comfortable, warm, blue bed. I start brushing my waist length brown hair with my blue brush. Call me weird for being obsessed with the color and I'll punch your lights out. I arrange my hair in a side dutch braid and add a blue ribbon to hold it. Then, I adjust my belt and put on my shoes as I walk down the spiraling stairs and make my way towards our makeshift kitchen.
Once there, I see my Master behind our plastic table and chairs. In front of him and on the table, is a small chocolate cake with blue frosting. Also on the table are our finest eating utensils. Although, to others, they might just be junk since the cups are made of wood and have splinters and such while our wooden "plates" have cracks in them.
"Master Slade, if I may, what is the reason for us to be using our finest silverware and diner?" I ask.
"Colithia, did you not remind yourself of the date while you were getting ready?"
"Yes, sir, I did"
"Then Cole, tell me, what is today"
"Today is December 1, 2013" I announce in the soldier's monotone I am expected to use.
"Repeat"
"Today is December first of 20 13" I say, with no thought at all, and then I get to thinking of why this date is so important, "Today is December the first of 2013" I say thoughtfully, and then Joy fills inside me, "Today is the anniversary of my birth! December 1, 2013!" I say joyously as I dash towards my Father and hug him. At first he is stiff, and I forget I am even hugging him, but then he hugs back and I immediately step back and straighten myself.
"I apologize for my behavior Master Slade. My emotions got the best of me and I promise that will never happen ever again" I say, feeling weird at how that was the first time in 6, wait, 7 years, that I've hugged my Father.
"It is alright, you have a reason to be joyous on the anniversary of your birth. The 13th year you have been alive" He says in his calm, monotone voice that has grown comforting to me.
"Still, I apologize for my behavior"
He sighs as he speaks once more, "I suppose you will be as stubborn as you are and won't back down so apology accepted. Now let's eat this delicious cake I made"
"Sir, you bake?"
"No, I stole it from a bakery" he says sarcastically.
"Really, sir?"
"I was joking, I actually have a "friend" who owed your dear old man a favor" he says and I know further explanations aren't necessary. We eat the delicious cake until our bellies are full. As we eat, we make small talk about some things and a promise my Master made me pops into my mind.
"Sir, make I ask you a question?"
"I am afraid you already did" he says attempting at being funny and I allow a light laugh.
"Well then sir, may I ask you 3 questions?" I ask and I think he smiles under that mask he always wears.
"Ah, you have out smarted me. Yes, you may ask your question"
"When I was a young girl, at the age of 8, I asked you if I could help you against the Teen Titans. Not just building the most advanced weapons for you, but actually help in combat and such and you said, 'Cole, you may help, when you are at the age of 13'. And, now that I am of age, 13 years old, are you ready to fulfill your promise to me?"
"Colithia. . ."
"Sir, I apologize in advance for interrupting, but I would like to point out that the Tamarainian's aim and strength is no match for my aim and the strength my other father has given me. The Changeling had mastered animal shape shifting, but I am far more advanced than that. The one they call cyborg may be half robot, but I m half demon. Robin may be well trained by you and the great Master Chu-Hui, but she has taught me as well and I know everything you have taught him and possibly more. Raven may be older and more advanced for her age of 16, but the 2 powers my mother and father gave me are 2 she does not have and I am very advanced for my age, so I know I can be of some assistance!" I say, scared that he'll say no.
"Colithia, I would like you to know that I care very much for you and I would hate to see you hurt. . but, you have very fair points and I suppose a promise is a promise, so I will let you aid in further attempts to destroy any of the Teen Titans" he agrees and I stop myself from continuing my victory/happy dance. Instead, a wide grin covers my face and reaches my freckles as I respond.
"Thank you sir, for fulfilling your promise"
"You're welcome. Now, I suppose you could build another robot and we'll attack in 2 days time"
"Very well sir, I shall start on the robot today".
He nods as we go back to eating the cake and I glance at the clock.
"Master! It is sparring time! We're behind schedule" I say, I start panicking and he calmly looks at me, "Sir, did you not hear me?! It is sparing hour!"
"You are very prompt" he points out, "I suppose we will skip sparing hour and assemble the robot today"
I stand there, my mouth agape. Skip the best hour of the day?! That has never been done before.
"As you wish sir" I say clumsily as my Master walks towards the highest level and I change quickly change into a T-shirt and jeans in my room. I start making the parts to my robot and Slade assembles them. That's how we spend my birthday, in peace and quietness. Only stopping to eat a snack, lunch, and dinner.
Small time skip: Only a couple of days! Don't panic! haha, just kidding about panicking!
I wake up due to the annoying sound of my alarm. I smash my fist on it and it breaks with a 'cracking' sound. Great, now I have to rebuild it. It's been a couple of days since Father left without a trace and if he's gone to go stir up some trouble, he should arrive this afternoon at the most. I get out of bed, put on my slipper, and yawn as I spiral down the stairs and walk into the kitchen. I prepare myself a small breakfast which is just some cereals and I get a spoon before I walk into the living room and watch the television I stole from Gizmo. I turn on the TV and stop searching through channels when I see a middle-aged woman dressed in Winter clothing in front of a bank, on the News.
"The Teen Titans have done it again!. . ." she starts.
"Boring!" I say loudly so my Father can hear as I change the channel.
"The Titans East have saved us once more. . . " says another woman.
"Lame" I say loudly once more.
"Where would we be without the Titans . . . "
"A better place" I say annoyed as I change it again, but then I remember, my Father isn't here.
"Slade has terrorized towns in the East and. . " starts the woman and I see my Master. I feel angry at how he's hurting innocent people and. . 'No Cole, you are evil. This should make you HAPPY!' I scold myself. The woman talks about how evil my Father is and my anger is transferred to her. She talks about how the Titans East will save them and I begin to feel hopeful that they would win, but then I shove that thought out of my head and turn off the TV as I walk into the kitchen. I leave my empty bowl in the sink as I walk upstairs and change into my regular outfit with my bow in hand and my quiver slung across my back. I walk out of the abandoned building, first making sure there is nobody in sight, and I walk into the woods beside it as the sun begins to rise. I see a buck drinking from a spring, nice pelt, good meat, it'll be a perfect meal for when Father comes home. I aim and release my arrow as a green cheetah runs in front of it unintentionally. I watch as my arrow hits the strange animal instead and the buck runs away. The cheetah turns into a green boy and I recognize him as Beat Boy, a Teen Titan. I fly up a nearby tree and use my powers to painlessly remove the arrow. I'm not that cruel. . .
"Beast Boy!" I hear a teenage boy say as the rest of the Teen titans surround him.
"Will he be alright friend Robin?" asks Starfire.
"I don't know" says Robin as I wrap my cape around me in one swift movement. I make the mistake in moving a little when I turn into a black as night, raven and the Teen Titans Raven looks around suspiciously.
"Everythin' alright Raven?" asks Cyborg as I fly away.
"I think so" says Raven in her monotone as I enter my home from a window. I sit down on the cold metal floor as I breathe heavily in this dark room.
'Just meditate Cole, everything will be alright' I tell myself as I begin to chant and float.
So y'all, tell me what you think! Please use constructive criticism! Love you guys for reading and sorry it took so long for me to update!
