Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the Teen Titans, except for the character I came up with, but I mean, shes technically not a Teen Titan in real life, just in this story.

Chapter 1: Alone
I ran. Ran from everything, my home, my family, my life. It wasn't fair what happened to me, but then again, life isn't fair. I went as far south as I could into a small village, merchants lined the streets, trying to push their junk onto me, but I politely refused, too afraid that they might see the monster I have become. I quickly ducked into a back alley, away from everybody and waited until night fell.
The sun descended behind the trees, I watched as the merchants closed shop and evacuated the streets, someone was bound to have left some kind of food behind, food that was free to take. Once the coast was clear, I emerged out of the shadows and started my search for food. A lone merchant went into a small shack behind his stand, leaving his goods on the stand. I smirked and quickly went to grab some fruit when a hand touched mine. "Hey!" I exclaimed to the blonde haired, green eyed kid that was trying to take the same fruit as I was.
I was about to say something to him when I was interrupted, "Stop! Thieves!" The merchant of the stand yelled at us,
"Uh-oh." I grabbed the kids wrist, "Come on!" I ran down the street, dragging the boy behind me. I could hear the police behind us, I turned down the nearest alley to try to shake them, but it was a dead end, "Crap!"
The police were getting closer. I looked for a solution, but saw none. The kid tapped on my shoulder, "What?" He pointed to a pile of crates that led to a roof, "Good thinking." We climbed up on the roof then down the other side of the building and into another alley, "I think... we lost 'em." I stopped to catch my breath, he said nothing, just looked at me, "We better go, they'll come looking eventually. Do you have a place to go?" He nodded and pointed to a mountain out in the distance, "Uuh-huh..." I said in disbelief, he motioned for me to follow him, so I did.
The climb up the mountain was long and tiring, and he said nothing along the way so it was also boring. Finally we reached the summit, the view was amazing, it was as if you could see the whole world, if the clouds were to clear up that is. The sun was just beginning to break over the horizon, it was like nothing I had ever seen before. The boy grabbed a guitar that was leaning against a rock and started playing it as he sat down on said rock, "Do you even talk or say anything?" He stopped playing as if he was going to say something, but just shook his head and continued playing, "Great." I muttered, "Well, call me Rose... Just Rose." My real name was Rosalina, but that's not who I was, not anymore, not since the accident a few days ago. He nodded and smiled, then sat his guitar down and grabbed a stick, he wrote something in the dirt among the many yellow flowers. I took a step closer to see what he was doing. Scrawled into the dirt were the letters J-e-r-i-c-h-o, "Jer-i-co? Jericho... is that your name?" He nodded, "So, you're alone here Jericho?" He nodded again, "Well you're not anymore." I smiled, he smiled back.
Every day at sundown we would head down the mountain and get to the village by nightfall, then we would gather (or steal) as much food as we could for the day, without getting caught of course, then we would head back up the mountain and sleep for a few hours. Jericho was asleep while I fiddled around with my curse, I made flowers pop out of the ground and disappear at will. I hadn't told Jericho about this and I didn't feel I should, he barely knows what I look like because I hide my face in my hoodie.
Jericho moved behind me, I made the flowers disappear and pulled my hood up over my face more. I stood up as Jericho sat up and stretched then he grabbed the stick and wrote in the dirt, 'I have to show you something.' "Okay, show me." He shook his head then pointed to the setting sun, "Let's go then." I headed to our pathway down. It was about time I left the area, I've been thinking about that for a while, but it was nice to be around someone, even if that person didn't talk at all. I brushed a strand of red hair out of my face as we walked into the village and started our nightly routine.
After a week of their goods being stolen, the merchants finally got smart and put their goods in their houses, "Now what do we do?" I asked, Jericho pointed into the house, "Break in?!" he nodded, "We can't do that, that's illegal!"
"Thieves!" We turned to see a police man running towards us, "Uh-oh, let's go!" I grabbed Jericho's arm, but he stood his ground.
The police man came up to us, "You both are under arrest for-" Jericho looked the police man in the eyes, his eyes turned black and he just faded into the police man, "
Jericho?!"
The police man blinked a few times, "Let's get out of here Rose." The officer, or Jericho, or whoever it was said, I was in shock but I ran off ahead of him. We ran to the edge of the village, "Is this what you were trying to show me?" I asked,
"Yeah, basically."
"So what, you take over people's bodies or something?"
"Yes, I possess them."
Great, he shows me this awesome ability that he has and I was going to break the news to him that I was leaving. He was going to think I was afraid of him, I could feel the guilt setting in now. When we got to the edge we stopped and Jericho appeared in front of me, the policeman's body fell to the ground, "Is he dead?" I asked, Jericho shook his head and grabbed my wrist, dragging me away from the village.
We came back a little after the sun had risen, I stared at the scenery, thinking about how I was going to break the news to Jericho, should flat out tell him, or should I wait until he was asleep and just leave. Jericho silently appeared next to me, "Jericho, I have to tell you something." I decided the first option was probably best. He looked at me, "You see, I have to leave, and it's not because of you and your ability to possess people, which is pretty cool. I just don't want to hurt anybody, a few weeks ago, before I came here, there was an accident that changed me, made me a monster." I pulled my hood off to reveal my face, my skin a pale green color due to the accident, "I don't want to stick around people for long because I don't want anyone to get hurt when I use my abilities." Different types of plants started growing out of the ground as if to emphasize my point. Jericho stared at the ground but he slowly nodded like he understood my decision, "Here, take this to remember me by." I formed a single rose in my hand and used my water powers to freeze it. He took it and had a small smile on his face, "We will meet again, I promise." I patted his shoulder, he nodded and I headed down the mountain one last time.
