Chapter One

Dusk

Starfire smiled, she couldn't wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow she was going to throw everyone a party. A friend party, that's what she would call it.

Happily she opened her closet where she had stored all the decorations. This was going to be wonderful.

"Titans, we have a cry for help, report immediately!" Robin announced through the loud speaker. Starfire could hear the worry in his voice.

She quickly shut her closet and ran out her door.

Raven slowly floated out her door, she didn't need to go fast. Raven made her way to the center room of the tower. The rest of the Titans were already there.

Raven wore her usual frown, she knew how it looked on her, not caring. But inside she was jumping up and down, they hadn't had anything to do in so long, plus this was a rescue mission, her favorite.

When they arrived, the Titans found themselves in the front of the old temple. She had a funny recollection of this place.

The autumn breeze blew throwing multi-colored leaves through the air making the twilight sky explode with brilliant colors.

"I wonder who it is, are they hurt, will we need to fight them off, is it a trap?" Beastboy chirped his voice lined with excitement and anticipation.

"Whoever it is they need help, so we should get moving." Robin said.

His face had no emotion, he almost looked like Raven. Starfire still admired him for his strength, mental and physical.

Robin made his way to the top of the steps. The rest followed, feeling a little discouraged at the way Robin was talking.

"I have a bad feeling about this" Cyborg muttered.

Robin threw open the doors. Starfire peered into the darkness. " Friends I don't think anyone is-." A girl's shrill cry pierced through the still air.

The Titans rushed in, Cyborg turned on his light, making a golden beam fly through the room. A long spiral staircase lead upward, where the scream had came from.

Robin didn't hesitate, he ran up the staircase. Black boots pounding the against the wooden stairs.

Starfire floated in the air for a moment. Wondering if she should follow him.

"You guys better come up here"

In a flash the rest of the Titans were up the stairs. Robin was kneeling by a girl. She was about seventeen; her long black hair swirled around her. She was lying on the ground, eyes closed.

"Is she? Dead?" Beastboy asked, his voice wavering.

Starfire looked at the girl again, her skin was splattered in blood, yet she had an odd beauty about her.

"I don't think-" Raven started "Yes, I'm dead" the girl murmured her eyes fluttered open.

Starfire let out a little gasp; her eyes were a deep crimson red.

"I feel dead, anyway." The girl jumped up flipping her hair. Starfire noticed how it brushed softly in Robins face.

"Damn, he's gone" the girl growled. Her eyes twitching around the room.

The Titans were all stunned at this change of behavior. Starfire glanced at Raven; she even had a look of awe and shock plastered on to her gray face. Starfire looked back to the strange new girl. She was dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans. She looked like a completely normal person, besides her eyes.

"I'm Dusk, and just a question can you people talk?" Dusk smiled revealing rows of sharp jagged fangs.

Now the Titans were thrown into a deeper silence at the sight of her teeth. Only Robin could sum up some words

"We're the Titans, I'm Robin, that's Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beastboy. Uhm did you send for help?"

"Yeah I did, because this-"
Suddenly a red flash flew through the air, hitting Dusk and hurtling her against the wall. A man hovered above her. His skin was the same colors as Dusks eyes. He reached a clawed hand down, grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air.

"You're coming with me," He said in a deep, cold voice. Dusk struggled under his strength, kicking her long legs, and snarling furiously.

"Titans go!" Robin yelled

Starfire rose into the air, letting green beams fly from her palms and eyes. Beastboy morphed into an elephant, setting off into a charge. He rammed into the red man, but was only sent flying off. BB landed in a heap before changing back.

Robin lunged at the man throwing his feet forward, to kick. The man grabbed Robin's ankle and threw him. The force and speed sent Robin backwards into a stack of wooden crates.

Raven murmured a few words, then let out a black chain, allowing it to wrap around the stranger. She pulled her hand back and it tightened around his chest.

The man let a low growl escape his lips. He looked Dusk in the eye and snarled at her, " I'll come back for you, and your friends won't be able to stop me, hell no one will be able to stop me."

In a swift movement, he threw Dusk into a wall, and then he let a string of fire erupt from his hand onto her before he rapidly disappeared.

"Dusk!" Robin exclaimed

He and the rest of the Titans rushed to where the fire blazed. Raven forced a bubble around the fire and watched it suffocate.

As the fire died, Starfire began to dread seeing what burnt figure Dusk was. There before them she laid, in a heap. Her once pale skin was now heavily chard and as black as her hair.

Once again she was unconscious. Robin pick her up gently, the black skin began to come off in chips, revealing Dusks usual glowing white skin.

"Dude, is she like a mega healer?" Beastboy inquired

"Now's not the time for jokes Beastboy" Raven said anger hinting around her voice.

Robin continued to carry Dusk; slowly he walked down the stairs.

Starfire didn't know if she should be worried about Dusk's health, or want her to stay away from Robin.
