CHAPTER 1
In the Batcave...
"Master Bruce, it's time for dinner." announced Alfred.
"Just a moment." replied Bruce.
"Sir."
Bruce sighed, he knew that Alfred would never leave him alone until he came to dinner.
"Alright." said Bruce.
Alfred nodded and waited for Bruce to join him on the elevator.
In the dining room in Wayne Manor...
"Is he here yet?" asked a girl.
The girl had midnight blue dyed hair, and her front parts of her hair were natural black. She wore a black shirt with a a wolf howling at the moon, and navy blue denim jeans, and black leather boots with buckles at the top and bottom of the boots.
"No. You know, you can look for yourself ,Ciara." answered Dick.
"Ha, ha. I would but right now I'm updating my blog."
"Yeah, whatever."
A few minutes later Bruce walked in, and Alfred carrying the tray of food.
"Dinner is served." announced Alfred, setting the plates down.
"Ciara, please turn off your laptop." asked Bruce politely.
"I'm almost done." replied Ciara.
"Now."
"Uh. Fine."
As Ciara closed her laptop, Bruce decided to break the silence.
"Ciara, your teacher Mr. Santos, told me you didn't go to your karate lesson, why?" asked Bruce.
"Because, I don't want to go. I told you, I want horse lessons, I don't want to learn how to kick someone's butt." answered Ciara bluntly.
"I told you, that karate lessons would give you education on defense, if you ever need it."
"Yeah, and I told you I have a knife. Enough defense."
Bruce sighed.
"Anyway, that's enough of the subject. Halloween, is coming up in a few days, and my friends are having a party. I was wondering if I could go?" asked Ciara.
"But the Wayne's always have a gigantic party here!" exclaimed Dick.
"Shut up, Dick."
"Yes, we do. Can't you ask your friends, to join us?" asked Bruce.
"Yeah, like they want to go to this nice formal "party". Besides it's for seniors and freshmen's! We've invited some freshmen to spice the party up! And I'm going as a goddess." answered Ciara.
"I'm sorry, but this is your first year here at Wayne Manor. I think that you'll get enough party here."
Ciara sighed, and banged herself against the back of the chair.
"I'm done. I'm going upstairs. See ya."
As Ciara left, Dick took the rest of her plate and scooped it onto his.
Upstairs in Ciara's room...
Her room was different from the other rooms that girls had. She wasn't really girly, yeah some makeup, jewelry, dresses, and heels. But not much. Anyway, here room was decorated to match the night, stars that glistened, a moon that shined, and a night sky that made you feel cold.
Her room was cozy, and filled.
She had a twin bed spread that had sea aqua blue with black swirls, and matching pillowcases, she also had a canopy(that was pulled back for the morning), it was shimmery silver, decorated with swirls.
Next to it was a small white nightstand/bookcase. It had a lamp on top, and a few books and trinkets on the 2 shelves.
She had a bigger bookcase next to her closet(which had a few dresses and formal shoes, and a dresser(because she didn't have formal things) that had mostly jeans, and sweatshirts).
She had a black desk, with her iPhone, and iPod Classic, with all the necessities for school.
And she had her own cat named Leila- meaning nighttime beauty, dark beauty. It fit her because the description of the name fit her cat. Leila, was a spicy and sassy cat, she was black with blue eyes that shimmered when she was happy. She wore a silver chained collar with emeralds all around it, engraved on the inside was her name Leila. Ciara found her at the pound, she was giving a lost puppy with a broken foot to them, when she found Leila. She was in the window of a room, looking out, and Ciara just feel in love with her.
To the left of her bookshelf was window seat, with silver cushioning, and pillows with blanket at the end just in case she got cold.
She her own bathroom, which had a dark theme to it.
Ciara sat on her bed, then Leila jumped up on the bed and rubbed up against her arm purring.
Ciara laughed, Leila always knew how to make her laugh; and how to get she wanted.
"Alright.. Come on, let's go outside."
As soon as they were outside, one of Dick's friends came into the yard.
"Hey, Wally." greeted Ciara, waving and watching Leila.
"Oh, hey ,Ciara." replied Wally.
Then soon Dick ran out the front porch.
"Hey, Wally! What's the... Uh, emergency?" asked Dick.
"Uhh...(whispers).. See ya, later Ciara... Dude, seriously! You need to get me a date with your sister!" exclaimed Wally.
"Dude! She's my sister!"
"Just try!"
"Shut up, Wally."
Ciara shook her head in disbelief, then went inside with Leila.
At Mount Justice...
"KID FLASH, B07. ROBIN, B08."
"You made it." said Aqualad.
"Yeah. Like I would miss this, over deciding where to put a giant spider for Halloween." replied Dick.
Artemis snickered.
"Ok, whatever. What's the mission?" asked Dick.
"It's a "home mission". Batman, assigned us to find out who this girl is." answered Artemis playing a video.
The girl was wearing a purple cape that had a arrow shape hood, purple high-heel boots that go up to her thigh, a purple sleeveless body suit that had a black wolf on the chest, a gold belt with red stones around it, and silver bracelets.
"Who is she?" asked Dick.
"Apparently, she is the new face for dark, mysterious, and creeps in the night." answered Artemis.
"In my opinion, she looks hot in that costume." commented Wally.
Artemis smacked him.
"Ow.."
"This is serious. Batman, wants us to find her and bring her in. There's just one problem... She does magic." said Artemis.
"We'll need ,Zatara." replied Dick.
"I will call him." ordered Aqualad.
Zatara had just teleported to them.
"Yes. She is a little experienced with magic... What I don't get is that she uses dark magic but isn't seduced by it." explained Zatara.
"What do you mean?" asked Megan.
"People who use dark magic, usually... Lose control."
"That's sad."
"That is why dark magic is forbidden, except for those who are dark."
"Is she dangerous?" asked Dick.
"Hmm. Well, maybe but from what I can tell, she's a beginner; she must have a book on magic, not much but enough for her to use. But that symbol on her chest... Zoom in." answered Zatara.
Aqualad zoomed in, curious to see what Zatara had found.
"The moon wolf..." whispered Zatara.
"Back up! Moon wolf? What does that even mean?" asked Artemis.
"That particular symbol, was for the Children of Hekate. Only they could use, or wear it without turning to ash."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"We need to find this girl."
"Why is it so important?"
"Because, she needs here coronation."
"Why?"
"If she doesn't then her magic will burn the earth. You see some of the Children went wild, so Hekate cursed her Children. They could only wield their power by standing in the moonlight of the lunar eclipse, waiting for their mother to bless them."
"Sounds like an awesome mother."
"Oh, she was! Sometimes she'd let her Children come to their real home to, Yozora. Meaning- night sky."
"So. Where does she mostly go?"
"Apparently... She is trying to get some drug dealers. People spot her on the North side of ,Gotham." answered Aqualad.
"Alright, Zatara. We might need you to help us, as soon as the moon is up we break for Gotham." ordered Dick.
They all nodded in agreement, then went back to their homes and waited.
"Hey, Dick. How was your "party"?" asked Ciara.
"It wasn't a party. We were... Uh... Studying." corrected Dick.
"Whatever. Look, Bruce, is at work- as usual. Alfred, is shopping. So I'm gonna go work out."
"This late?"
"I have a friend, who has a mansion."
"Oh... When will you be back?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"WHAT!?"
"Don't say anything, or else I'll tell Bruce and Alfred the time you and ,Wally, decided to flood the bathroom."
"Ugh! Just be back before breakfast."
"6 AM, got it."
"Fine. Bye."
"Ciya."
As Ciara left, Dick was waiting for nighttime.
He waited... And waited... Until the moon started to rise.
"YES! Finally!" exclaimed Dick.
"Robin?" called Aqualad over the com.
"Yes?"
"Meet us at Mount Justice."
"Be right there."
At Mount Justice...
"ROBIN, B08."
"Alright, I'm here." said Robin.
"Good. Miss Martian, get the ship ready, Wally, Artemis, and Superboy, you will accompany her. Zatara, will be here shortly." ordered Aqualad.
When everybody boarded the ship, they took off.
In Gotham North...
"Miss Martian, please land here, and put the ship in camouflage mode." said Aqualad.
"Putting ship in camouflage mode." replied Megan.
"Alright. We're splitting up into 3 teams. Robin and Artemis, you will head to some of the old drug dealers hangouts, Kid Flash and Superboy, you will check the alleys. Miss Martian and I, will stay here and monitor everyone."
"What about me?" asked Zatara.
"You will stay here and see if you can find a trail of magical energy." answered Aqualad.
Everyone nodded.
After everyone was dropped off, Aqualad had Miss Martian "park" the ship in the middle of Gotham North.
"Did you find anything?" asked Aqualad.
"No... Except a small magic trail from yesterday night." answered Zatara.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!
"It's ,Robin." said Megan.
"What is it, Robin?" asked Aqualad.
"We found her, but she's fighting one of the dealers." answered Robin.
"Alright, we're on our way. Radio Kid Flash, and Superboy; have them meet you."
"What do you want us to do in the meantime?"
"Just watch her."
"Got it. See you here."
"Miss Martian, GPS Robin's location, then go there." ordered Aqualad.
"You got it." replied Megan.
"Zatara... Be ready."
Zatara nodded, as he buckled in.
Where Robin was...
In the background, to people were fighting. One was holding a metal rod, and the other was holding a knife.
"Ok, I'm bored. Let's make a bet... Hmm..." said Artemis emotionless.
"I don't do bets." replied Robin.
"20 bucks, say the girl wins."
"That is tempting..."
"Come on..."
"30."
"Deal."
WHOOSH!
"Here they come." said Artemis.
"You're seriously bored, aren't you?" asked Robin.
"Without a doubt."
As they approached, the mysterious girl was both fighting and watching them.
"She's like a wolf." said Artemis.
"That's why they where the symbol, and another reason..." replied Zatara.
"You wanna tell us?"
"Not now."
"Fine, let's just wait for them to finish up, so I can win 30 bucks."
"Yeah right." whispered Robin.
"We both know that the girl is gonna win, so why did you bet?"
"To prove you wrong."
Artemis laughed.
"Like I'm ever wrong..."
Robin glared at her.
"... Mostly."
As they watched the battle finish(which we all know who won) they walked over to the girl who was about to leave(before Zatara used magic to summon a giant plant).
"Get it off of me!" yelled the girl.
"As soon as we talk." replied Zatara.
"About what?... Magic ζιζανίων, που καλλιεργείται, να εξαφανιστούν!" she asked as she chanted, making the plant disappear.
Zatara explained her situation, and she just shook her head in disbelief.
"You are crazy." exclaimed the girl.
"Are we?" questioned Zatara, "Have your powers become out of hand? Uncontrollable?"
The girl shifted...
They have a little... But that doesn't mean anything. she thought to herself.
"Soo... What's your name?" asked Kid Flash.
"Wolf Rider."
"I meant your real name."
"Do you think I'm that stupid?"
"Maybe."
"You're an idiot."
"I know right." commented Artemis.
"Hey! I thought you liked me." protested Kid Flash.
"I like to the point I won't slap you... Much."
There was a minute of silence for a moment, then a wolf howled, and then there was a breeze. Everyone noticed that the girl's eyes widened and changed to a wolf's eyes.
"Woah!" exclaimed Kid Flash, stepping back.
"I need to go." said the girl jumping at LEAST 6 feet in the air.
Zatara had to do something quick!
The only magic that she is affected by is Roman... he thought to himself.
"Roman, magie te afecteze. Face fata asta, dormi la asta." chanted Zatara, and immediately the girl collapsed on top the roof where she stopped the drug dealers.
"Woah. Zatara... Remind never to get on your bad side." said Kid Flash.
"Quickly. We must get her to Mount Justice, she is powerful so this magic won't last long."
Aqualad nodded.
"Miss Martian..."
"On it."
