A/N: I know...I should be finishing my floor-to-ceiling unfinished story pile, but I just had to write this after reading some Teen Titans fanfiction on this website a few days ago. Since I just can't seem to stop getting new story ideas, let's see how well I keep up with the updates for this one! YAY!
Anyway, this story is written in Starfire's POV (I know, pretty unique) but I'd love to post a companion in Robin's if that's okay with you guys. I am writing both POV at the moment so keep in mind that option will ALWAYS be available to anyone who wants it. This story will be mainly RobxStar with some BBxRae in later chapters.
For those of you who are dying for updates on either FILWTFD or Herondales And Their Ducks, those should be updated soon. Reviews help remind me I have unfinished stories since I am working on two actual publish-able novels as well as my other fanfics so keep commenting to remind me I have chapters to post. My mind is currently working on 50,000+ things at once so the more reviews I get the easier it is for me to remember to update. Thank you for your continued support and I hope you enjoy the story because this one is actually really exciting for me to write and I can't wait for you to read it! As always, my readers are the best and I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year!
Escape.
The word repeated in my head. The only thought I could think as the sounds of the engines continuing to explode around me blocked out the air whooshing through the stolen ship. Reds and yellows and oranges clouded my vision and thick white smoke invaded my lungs. The chains holding my wrists together refused to loosen no matter how hard I struggled. Panic flooded through my veins as the intensity of the situation I was in pounded in my ears.
I would die here. Of that, I was certain.
The noise of metal crashing alerted me of an impact before my body jerked into the electronic power board console. I gasped heaving pants, the air burning with each and every inhale. My body ached in ways I did not think possible and unfamiliar cries rang in my ears. It took me a few seconds to realize those cries were mine. Quickly, I shut my mouth to stop the unTamaranean noise.
Tamaranean warriors were cold and unfeeling. Until we were faced in situations of love-that I do remember. My people would hate me if they heard my shouts of weakness.
A sharp pain hit my head and glass shattered around me. Tiny scratches littered my open flesh. My body flew through the air and I closed my eyes, bracing for a rough landing. My body tumbled and rolled until I stopped with an audible thump. My head beat in time with my heart. Wearily, I opened my green eyes to stare at my surroundings. My ship began to hiss and cackle, the inside a golden orange mixture. With a hiss it exploded into flames a few feet in front of me. The side engine blasted off the ship. I quickly closed my eyes as I used my handcuffs as a shield. Warmth seeped into the pads of my fingers yet I refused to look until the popping and crackling noises subsided to a minimal noise level. I moved my arms away.
The ship was melted into a pile of molten metal. The engines attached to the side were no longer existent to the crash scene. Flames erupted from the cockpit.
Taking in a deep shaky breath, I rolled from my stomach to my knees. Red liquid colored the space where I had previously laid. It formed a small puddle no larger than my fist. I swallowed down the metallic taste of blood. Apparently my landing had been less than graceful to my body. Somehow I managed to get to my feet shakily, though my vision seemed to be slightly fuzzier and darker than I remembered. That or I seriously injured my head.
Gazing down at my shackled wrists, I studied the unbreakable metal carefully. I had to free myself. But how?
My eyes shifted up to see a large yellow structure. That looked strong enough to break these chains. I quickly rose my arms up over my head, blinking back the dizziness and fatigue. I brought them down as hard as I could. The metal clancked against the yellow structure. However the restraints bounced off of it undamaged. The structure...well...it crumbled under the pressure I exerted. A frustrated yet desperate shout left my lips and my shoulder slumped. Now how am I supposed to free myself?!
Something metallic grazed my already injured cheek and I recoiled my head instantly. My eyes snapped to the direction of the attack. A dark shadow was all I could make out through my blurred vision.
I completely forgot about the whole foreign planet thing in the midst of the immediate crash landing I had to make.
I held out my arms then a large hunk of metal rose to levitate then fly towards the shadow unintentionally. The shadow dodged the large moving piece before it could hit him.
Another metal thing grazed my leg this time and I let another strangled noise escape me. Warm red liquid trailed down my new injury. Knowing my energy was fading, I focused my energy to my hands but kept my eyes locked onto the shadows around me. I struggled to free myself while unconsciously backing away towards my incinerated ship. A shadow jumped out in front of me and I instinctively surged the fire in my veins to my emerald green orbs.
"Stay back!" My voice wavered with pain and fear. I was no longer the warrior I used to be. My eyes searched for a safe place to escape to. "Please! I mean you no harm. Please!" I cried out, my energy rapidly depleting by the minute. If I didn't fire at the shadow in the next few seconds I was going to die here. I barely had time to react before the shadow came closer. My hearing buzzed with the humming of my frantic powers.
The shadow said something, however at the same time my knees buckled and I felt myself falling onto the rough uneven blackened ground. I looked up, only for my wrists to feel suddenly very light. Metal clattered in front of me as I looked up for my savior.
My vision swayed; my breathing labored. My chest burned and my fingers trembled.
I was at the mercy of an Earthen. A very angry Earthen. Suddenly his facial features contorted into something no longer angry. My vision dimmed and I struggled to breathe. The Earthen reached towards me.
"Stay back. Please." I whimpered, feeling my energy fading with each and every breath. "Please." I coughed, warm liquid coating my lips. The Earthen knelt beside me and a warm heat brushed my cheek. Dark hooded eyes bore into mine before I felt myself falling and my vision went black.
