Chapter 1: To Love is nothing
The crisp fall air blew through her hair like a gentle wave. Her auburn locks blew frantically and her eyes darted around nervously. Robin finally decided to approach her.
"Star?"
Only silence filled the air instead of Starfire's voice that he had hoped to hear. He wasn't sure if she was ignoring him or was so lost in thought that she simply didn't hear him. So he gently placed his hand on her arm to get her attention before drawing it back to his side.
"Oh! Hello Robin. Why are you not doing the hanging out with the friends?"
Robin's cheeks turned colors as he looked away from Starfire's gaze. "I was concerned for you." Robin pulled at the collar of his shirt. The color in his cheeks had not faded. "You had been up here for a while."
"Oh"
Silence once again took over as Robin felt things begin to grow tense. "Is something wrong?"
Star thought to herself as to what she should say. I do not want to lie to my friend but I don't want to tell him the truth either. It is too embarrassing. Besides I am just a Tamaranean. What would Robin ever see in me? I am unfamiliar with the cultures and ways of his planet. Starfire did not even bother to look at Robin.
Robin was taken in awe by how beautiful she looked in the bright light given off by the moon. How can I even look at her though? I know she will never feel for me the way I want her to. I'm just a simple human from Earth that does not understand her home planet. What would Starfire want with me?
"Starfire, if there's something I can do I'm here."
"Oh, Robin. If you only knew..."
"Starfire wha-"
Robin was interrupted by the beeping of his round transmitter. He smashed his fist into his open palm saying "Trouble!" loud enough for Star to hear too.
A silent tear ran down Starfire's cheek as she thought to herself, Interrupted again. I will never be able to tell Robin that I have the feelings for him. She let out an emotional sigh as Robin walked back into the Tower. Her dried tears were beginning to crust upon her cheeks glistening in the moonlight. She wiped them away knowing that there would be more.
Starfire's strong feet boosted her off the top of the Titan Tower and she headed for the ground to join the others, but she began to fall more quickly than she wanted. She could not control it though. Try as she might Starfire could not keep herself from hitting the cold, hard earth that lay below her. Star could not fly. She had lost it somehow. The last thing she saw was Robin's face hovering above hers, a desperate look enveloping it. She then began to see colorful spots and then shortly everything became black, nonexistent. She felt like she was alive, but not completely. Somewhere in the middle. That was the last thing she thought before she lost complete consciousness.
