Alone
By: Tamaranian Queen-2-B
Chapter 1:
Starfire is walking with her father. They're having a really good time. They had just finished eating dinner, and were walking home, talking about things. Her father was feeling a little uncomfortable because Starfire was telling him how much she wished her and Robin could be together.
"I just wish he would perform the holding of my hand more often. Every time he does, I get a tingly feeling that reaches what they call toes!"
"I'm sure you do, sweetie," her father commented, uncomfortably.
Unaware by their somewhat odd conversation, a man was lurking in the shadows. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pistol.
"Father, it is not fun-AAAAAA!" cried Starfire, when she saw the man. "Give me your wallet, and your jewelry!" screamed the robber. He was eying Starfire's necklace, a sterling silver star-shaped pendent with an amethyst stone smack-dab in the middle. Her mother had given her the necklace shortly before passing, and she never took it off. "And I want that necklace!" he added.
"Starfire, RUN! You leave us alone!" Starfire's father said, putting up a fight with the robber. Starfire began to run, and she had just gotten around the corner when she heard a gun shot pierce the night like a million knifes stabbing her heart.
She stopped, mid-run, frozen in place by what she had heard. She screamed, "NOOOOO!" and ran back to see what had happened. What she saw, she would never forget.
Her father was lying on the floor, a pool of blood surrounding his head. Starfire ran up to her father and knew he was dead. A single tear escaped her eye, traveled down her face, and landed on the father's chest.
Starfire took one last look at her father's sweet, kind face, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and began to chase the one responsible. She shot up into the air, spotted the robber running through the park, and dove down towards him.
She shot star bolt after star bolt at him, hopeful that at least one would hit him and stop him in his tracks. None prevailed. She then began to use her eye beams, but he dodged those too. Her mind was disturbed with sadness and guilt. It was because of her that they were even out tonight.
She resorted to hand-to-hand combat to make him stop running. Her feet touched the ground and she kicked him where it counted. He fell to the ground in pure agony, as Starfire has super-strength.
"Why? Why MY father! I'll kill you! I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do!" she shouted. And she did just that.
She used every ounce of power she had left, and was relentless with her star bolts, and eye beams until she was sure no breath remained in his body. Starfire, panting, and spent on energy, fell to her knees.
She cried like she never cried before. Then she began hitting the robber. She slapped him, stomped on him, and kicked him. Then she flew to her father, and cried next to him until dawn.
She knew her life would be nothing without her father. She knew she was truly alone.
