The screams of terror rang in her ears as the palace went up in flames. She turned to her sister, coughing from the smoke, and pulled her along. Together they ran, the ash staining their clothes. Lilith's pale skin was scared with red burn marks, cuts, and grossamer wings hung limp at her side. She could not fly due to the smoke and the bath she had taken that evening. Her sister Nina was breathing heavily, her red hair singed and her amber eyes glazed. "Run, sister, run!" Lilith called over the raging fire. She struggled to pull her sister along; the weight was too much for her bear alone.
"Sister…" Nina panted. "You must leave me and save yourself. Use the power of the Seventh Daughter!" Lilith shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks. She kept running, her sister stumbling after her. Her midnight blue eyes were filled with falling stars as they crossed a river and stumbled over sharp rocks, nicking their feet and drawing blood. The green grass was stained with crimson as they ran, leaving tracks for the evil Zira to follow. "I… I must stop…" Nina wheezed. Lilith nodded and her sister collapsed, her knees too weak to hold her up.
Lilith walked up the bluff and her eyes widened. Her home… gone in minutes. The fire had guzzled Cordelia's menageries and Althea's herb garden. This was all Keely's fault. Had she not freed Zira from her Isenmort bonds, this night would never have seen fire and destruction. The Fay Palace lay in ruins as the inferno raged like a chimera towards the river they had crossed. The wind picked up and Lilith's hair billowed behind her, a white comet tail almost seventy feet long. The braids her eldest sister Brianna had done for her the night before had come undone, the hair singed and blackened. She frowned as she ran her fingers through her hair; she had refused to cut it ever since she could speak. Her skin's normal moonshine glow had been coated in ash, dulling the moonchild's skin. The night sky in her eyes was raining stars sorrowfully as her home was destroyed before her eyes. Her irises were a mixture of flecks, gold and silver set into a midnight blue sky. The wind caressed her naked legs as it carried the scent of rain. The white gown she had worn to bed was streaked with black ash and gray cinders. The moon leaned down and kissed her tear-stained cheeks with tenderness.
"We must keep moving, dear heart. Zira will send the Lyoness after us," she said as she came back to her sister. Nina's amber eyes shown with tears but she stood up and made her way to the river. Both sisters cupped their hands and scooped up water to clean their faces. Lilith looked down and saw a black streak in her hair. Nina smiled endearingly and moved to scrape the streak away. Lilith returned the gesture by washing the ash of her sister's fiery colored wings. "What of our other sisters?"
"I do not know. But I feel in my heart that they are alive. They have escaped," Nina reassured the youngest of seven sisters. Lilith stood and her sister followed, both pairs of eyes cast down. Once they made it to the trees they fell against an ancient oak. "They Lyoness will follow the scent of our blood. We must away dear sister!" Nina yelled. Lilith nodded and grabbed her sister's hand. They ran until their feet could carry them no longer. The sky had lightened and the sun rose in a blood red sky. Lilith's eyes scanned a clearing they had happened across. She picked at a frayed edge of her skirts and the princesses sat in silence.
"If you will come with me, I will try to walk between the worlds," the moonchild whispered. Nina nodded and stood up on scratched legs. She reached out her hand for Lilith. She used her sister's hand to help her stand and they moved to the center of the clearing.
"What did Bryn instruct you to do?" Nina asked. Bryn was the professor of White Magic. Brianna, her eldest sisters, had been tutored by him in the ways of old. Lilith stared at the far corner of the clearing, trying to remember the words of the words of her teacher.
"I think I remember," Lilith told her sister. Nina's fiery curls bounced limply as she nodded. The moonchild took her sister's hand and spoke again. "Now we go three paces back and one sidestep." Nina nodded and a determined look crossed her face. "Do not let go of my hand, whatever you do." Both girls pulled their wings in tight to their body, the think skin taking its place in the hollow of their shoulders like a bird.
Together they took three steps to the side. Lilith took one step to the right and Nina copied her step. Suddenly, the world spun and the colors blended together. Lilith heard Nina scream and their clasped hands were torn apart. Lilith screamed for her sister but the other Fay child was already gone in another world.
Before darkness overtook Lilith she heard evil cackling. "You will never be free of me!"
So I know this part sounds kinda vague, and there are no characters in it from Teen Titans, but just wait. Please review so I can continue to post this as my first Teen Titians story.
