Chapter 1
Secrets
"Azarath…"
What am I supposed to do?
"Metrion…"
I can't tell anyone."Zinthos."
They wouldn't understand…"Raven? Is something the matter? Raven?" asked an inquisitive emerald-eyed alien.
"This had better be something important, Starfire," Raven growled, peeved at being interrupted during her meditation.
"Well, you told me the last time when meditated together that one could tell when you were distracted during meditation. You seem distracted."
Raven decided to play along. "And why is that?"
"Well, firstly, you are upside-down," said Starfire.
"What?" Raven opened her eyes and looked up to see…the floor. She gasped and fell, hitting the floor hard. "Ow…"
"Raven!" exclaimed Starfire as she rushed to help Raven up. "Are you undamaged?"
"I'm fine," said Raven as she took Starfire's hand and got back up on her feet. She brushed herself off and said, "No one hears about this, understand?"
"My sphincter is closed," said the alien as she raised her left hand.
Raven stared at Starfire. They were both quiet for a moment. "Please…don't say that again. It's 'My lips are sealed.' And besides, you're supposed to raise your right hand when you take an oath."
An expression of enlightenment came across Starfire's face. "I see." She raised her right hand. "Like this?"
Raven nodded.
"I, Starfire, solemnly swear not to tell anyone."
"You didn't have to do that," said Raven.
"But it helped me in my everlasting quest for knowledge!" Starfire donned a Sherlock Holmes hat and pulled a magnifying glass out of nowhere. "And for that, I thank you!"
"Um…Starfire?"
"Yes?"
"Where did you get those?"
They stood around in the lounge, silent.
Starfire took the hat off and hid it and the magnifying glass behind her back. "It matters not, friend Raven!" She giggled nervously and slinked away.
Raven reassumed her posture of sitting cross-legged in mid-air. She tried to fight it, but in the end, she just had to smile at Starfire's actions.
"Azarath…"
I can't reveal my secret…
"Metrion…"
…not to anyone.
"Zinthos."
Especially not her.
To Be Continued…
Sorry, I know it's short, but it's just the first chapter, so you have more to look forward to (At least, I hope you're looking forward to it). Please review! I accept criticism, as long as it's constructive. Until next time!
