Chapter One: The Whimpering Bundle
Waves tossed endlessly outside Titans Tower. A small bunlde crashed at the doorstep. Faint whimpering could be heard, but nothing else.
Robin woke to a sunny morning with a high tide. He decided to go downstairs, see if the others were awake. As he was by the door, he thought he heard whimpering. "I must be hullcinating," he thought. "I knew I shouldn't have eaten Beast Boy's tofu last night."
Robin looked in the living room. Starfire was the only one there. He wasn't sure why, but his heart always seemed to beat a little faster when he was alone with her. "Morning, Starfire," he said cheerfully.
"Good morning, Robin."
Robin looked at her. "You didn't hear whimpering by the door, did you?"
"I belive I did, but I do not know what the cause of it could be. Silkie always sleeps inside, and our home is surrounded by water."
Beast Boy walked down. "Hate to intrude on a conversation like this," he said, "but I think I saw a bundle of something on the doorstep. Hey!" he exclaimed, "when'd we get a doorstep?"
"God knows," Erin replied. Erin was a new member of the Titans. Her power was the ablity to change into a white wolf with wings, and she could retract or extend these wings as she pleased. She was also the youngest Titan; she was only 12.
"Oo-kay," said Robin, "when did you two get up?"
"Since just now," Erin and Beast Boy replied.
Raven and Cyborg walked down. "Morning, guys!" Erin greeted. Erin was the most optimistic of all the Titans.
"What's so good about it?" Raven said.
"Well," began Erin, "the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the future looks bright!" She smiled.
"Hey," said Cyborg, "Anyone by any chance hear whimpering outside the door?"
Every Titan said yes.
"I don't know about you guys," said Beast Boy, "but I think the whimpering is coming from an alien, sent from a hositle planet to rip out our guts and bring them back as food."
Erin said, "Beast Boy, I would belive you, if that idea wasn't teetering on the fine line between the idiotic and the imbecellic!" Erin did have her moments where she could be sarcastic, as did everyone. "I'm gonna get breakfast started," she said. Erin turned her back on Beast Boy. "Neophyte," she muttered under her breath.
As she turned away, Beast Boy said, "Man, I can't understand a word she says when she gets like that! That is so annoying!"
Raven turned to the kitchen. "Hey, Erin," she called.
"Yeah, Raven?"
"I think Beast Boy's the one teetering on the fine line between the idiotic and the imbecellic!"
"Nah, Beast Boy broke that line!" At this, everyone started cracking up. "But seriously now," said Erin, "we've got to find out what's causing that whimpering. I'll look." She handed breakfast out. Then, Erin turned and went to the door. She opened it carefully, making sure she didn't hit whatever was causing it.
In front of the door was a small bundle of moss, and inside, there was something black and furry. And alive. Whatever was in it was alive. Gently, Erin picked of the small bundle and carried in in the tower. There, she unwraveled the bundle. She was shocked! "Guys," she said tensely, "I think you'd better come see this."
