I do not own Teen Titans

Chapter One

'Libiath drew his sword and charged down the soldier, his horse going as fast as it could carry him. Libiath could see his moist breath making large clouds, his brow was damp with sweat, and his wounded arm hung limp at his side – but in his heart there was not fear. These soldiers had taken everything from him. His home, his name, and her . . . Large jeweled tears fell from his eyes as he remembered the only woman he had ever loved. Yes, the soldiers would die in her name. And it was her name he cried out as his sword made contact with the nearest soldier . . .'

"Starfire"

Starfire jumped up in surprise and the book fell heavily on the floor.

"One moment please!" She replied as she picked up the heavy book and hit it under her pillow. She ran to the door to find Robin leaning against the doorframe and looking somewhat concerned.

"Friend Robin . . ." She said, trying desperately to block the entrance to her room so he would not try to enter.

"Star, are you alright?" You've been somewhat . . . reclusive." Robin tried to pick his words carefully; he didn't want to hurt her feelings.

"Yes, I am quite well! Now if you please, I am somewhat busy," she laughed nervously and shut the door in Robins face. She did not mean to seem rude but she desperately needed to get back to her book.

Outside Starfires door, Robins face fell and he went to join Cyborg and Beastboy in the rec room. Starfire had not been out of her room in two days, which was a trait usually Raven held. Robin was worried; Starfire had never acted this way before. She had never purposefully blocked out the rest of the team, let alone him . . . .

Starfire returned to her bed and flipped to a random page in the leather bound book.

'Libiath pushed his lovers long auburn hair out of her tear-streaked face. He leaned in slowly, allowing her green eyes to close. Libiath brushed against her soft red lips and wrapped his strong arms around her. She pressed up against him and wrapped her arms around his neck, toying with his brown hair. They stayed that way for a long time. By the time they separated, the light sky had given out and the dark had taken over Libiath gathered her in his arms and made his way to his bed . . .'

Starfire, suddenly feeling tired, sighed contently and laid her head down on the book and fell asleep.
