Chapter one
A dark haired man stands in front of a dead end. He's trapped by five strange teens. Sweat beads appear on his forehead and his knees start shaking nervously. He's thinking about giving up; seeing that there's no way that he's not going to jail now. I mean...what? A solution's going to fall out of the sky? Above the scene stands a pale girl in a gray dress on a building. She walks forward and suddenly loses her balance. He looks up as he heard her screaming and reaches out to catch the falling girl. She is really light; lighter than he expected. She is awfully thin. He looks at her and he sees that she is so pale. She is as white as snow. Her hair is almost as light, but is a grayish color; even though she is young. She seems to be sixteen. She opens her eyes and he's shocked to see bright green eyes, like jewels. She blinks a few times at him bewilderedly and the man stands her up. He grabs her arm and puts his glowing glove to the side of her head. This must be my lucky day! A hostage falling from the sky! He thinks to himself. "I got a hostage! Back away Titans and she doesn't get hurt!" He shouts at the strange teens. The red headed girl in the group gasps and the adolescents start to back off. "No one needs to get hurt, Light!" A masked boy calls worriedly. The green eyed girl's eyes widen fearfully. what's going on! She thinks to herself and screams. The man laughs and she runs with him still holding on. She runs around and around; shaking her arm, so he'd let go. Finally, he lets go of the young girl and lays on the ground with his hands on his head in surrender. The strange girl runs past the teens, but then trips and falls to the ground. She pants and looks around nervously. A strange looking man that seemed to be half human and half machine cuffed the dark haired man. "It just ain't your lucky day. Isn't it, Dr. Light?" The cyborg asks this Dr. Light. A boy with a mask on approaches the gray haired girl with a worried expression. She looks up at him with sad eyes and moves away fearfully. "Hey..." He starts softly. "What's your name?" He asks in a firmer tone. She sits up and crosses her arms anxiously. "M- Matilda..." She whispers. Her eyes hold a sadness that pains his soul. "Where do you live?" He asks and kneels down to her level. She pauses for a moment. "Here?..." She replies confused. "No, where is your home?" He asks in a different way and she looks down. "No where...anymore.." She replies quietly. She looks at her dirty, ripped up dress and wipes some of the dirt off. "Do you have any parents?" The boy asks again in a softer tone. A green boy looks from behind the boy in the mask as he and Matilda talk. "One, but he doesn't care." She replies very quietly. "Do you have any friends?" The boy with the mask asks her again. Matilda just shakes her head. "What?" The green boy blurts out, making her jump. "You don't have any friends?" he asks. Matilda's eyes lock on him anxiously. She has seen many different people lately, but never any that were all green like he was. His faces starts to turn a little red and he quickly looks away. Why is his face changing color? She asks herself in her head. "Do you want to come with us? We can give you a nice place to stay." The masked one asks. "That'll be a great idea!" The green one blurts; making her jump again. " U-um...sure?.." She replies quietly. "By the way, I'm Robin." The masked boy says and stretches out his hand to shake hers, but she flinches. Robin grits his teeth at the thought of someone hurting her and then stands. He holds out his hand to help her up and he leads her to their car. She gets into their car in the middle of the back seat. On one side the red headed girl and the other a girl with soft blue eyes. To Matilda they are to close and her shoulders hunch anxiously. She sees a green cat lay on The red head's lap. Where did that come from? She asks herself and moves away a little. "Put on your seat belt, friend." The girl tells her kindly. Matilda tilts her head; being unfamiliar with the words 'seat belt'.. Seat belt? what's that? She thinks to herself. " Here let me assist you." The red head says and grabs the seat belt. She brings it over Matilda and she jumps back to the blue eyed girl's side. "W- What are you doing?" She screams. Now all eyes are on her, which makes her even more frightened. "I am putting on your seat belt… nothing to be frightened of." The red head replies "You're touching me..."The blue eyed girl drones. The pale girl sits back in her seat and lets the red head buckle her in. Soon, Matilda arrives at a tower the teens call Titan's tower. She sits on the sofa and the green boy comes up to her. He looks at her and his face slightly flushed. "Hey, how are you doing?" He asks smoothly. "I am… ok." she replies quietly. She can smell food in the kitchen and her mouth starts to water. "I'm Beast boy." He says awkwardly. "I'm Matilda." She replies gloomily. The red headed girl comes up to her. "I am Starfire. What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is your favorite food? Do you like to go shopping? Do you want to be my friend?" She asks quickly. "Um, Matilda… Green… I don't know…I'm not sure… uh, sure?" She replied and Starfire hugged her. "Welcome, new friend!" She beams and Matilda cringes in her embrace. "So…" Beast boy starts and puts a goofy smile on his face. "you like green?" He asks and cocks an eyebrow. Starfire giggles softly. "Friend Beast boy… she has just arrived." She laughs and his face flushes. "What?" He wines. "Yo! who want's breakfast!" the cyborg yells from the kitchen; making Matilda flinch. "I'm starving!" Beast boy shouts and everyone heads over toward the table. Soon, she walks over to the table and Cyborg sits a plate down in front of her. The sent taunts her and plays with her sense of smell. "I'm Cyborg. Nice to meet you, Matilda." Cyborg says and reaches out his arm to shake her hand. She flinches and his eyebrows arch. "It's nice to meet you as well." She replies shyly and looks down at her meal. She sniffs it cautiously. Well, it smells nice… She thinks to herself. "New friend, why do you not feast?" Starfire asks. "Well, what is it that I'm suppose to be feasting on?" She replies and Star leans over her plate. "That is the artery clogging meat of the earth creature that wallows in filth." (bacon) She says and points to three sausages. "That is also." She points to the eggs on the plate. "That is the unborn offspring of an earth land fowl." She explains. Beast boy takes it away and puts another plate in front of her. "No! She should have some healthy smart bacon!" The green boy protests. "No! That girl needs some meat on her bones!" Cyborg argues. Matilda covers her ears nervously. Why do they have to yell? the girl asks herself. "Soy can put meat on her bones too!" Beast boy shouts and then turns to her. "What would you like to eat, Matilda?" Beast boy asks charmingly. "Um…" She mumbles and smells the soy bacon. That… doesn't smell as nice… She thinks to herself. "Would you like? That stuff that Cy made, or would you like the breakfast I made special for you? C'mon, my cooking's famous!" He continues and she looks at both dishes. "Yeah, Beast boy. Go open up a restaurant, so you can get that boat you want." The blue eyed girl says sarcastically and Beast boy glares at her. "C'mon, girl. You don't have to eat that junk." Cyborg says and Beast boy then glares at him. "I can eat both…" She says shyly and begins to eat Beast boy's dish first. "Nasty…" Cy murmurs and Matilda looks up at him. "I've eaten worse…" She says and continues to eat. "Wow…" The blue eyed girl mumbles and Beast boy turns to her. "Shut up, Raven." He growls. After Matilda finishesCyborg puts his dish in front of the girl. "Go ahead girl..." Cyborg says to her softly and Beast boy glares at him. The girl grabs the bacon and scarf's in down.
Later that night Matilda lays on the sofa with a blanket. she has learned alot about the teens who call themselves the Titans, but the blue eyed girl, Raven. She only knows her name. all in all, they seem pretty nice... unlike what she was used to.
