Aqua-Girl chapter 1: Silo Waters
Hi. My name is Silo Waters. I'm the girl with the black hair that has the purple streaks in it and the one with purple eyes. I'm the one wearing the purple swimsuit that had the light purple lace skirt and the purple sandals. I'm hanging out with my best friend Tara. Well, she's my only friend, but she still my best friend. We have a lot of things in command. Like, we both love pizza, video games, movies, we both hate Mondays, test, and the mean girls called the pinks. They call themselves that because not only do they wear pink all day, but they love the singer, pink. And we also love the Teen Titans. Then again, who doesn't? And don't say the villains. Everyone in jump city loves them. We both share the same dream of being on the team. Tara says I'd make a great member of the team because of my power. I can breath under water and talk to fish, so once in a while she calls me Aqua-Girl. As much I love the name and to be part of the team, I'm nothing with Tara. The last thing we have in command is that we can't remember where we came from. Tara once told me she found herself in a cave wearing some kind of outfit. That's around the time she started to attend my school. All I can remember are tenches, an underwater kingdom, and a woman, but she's really blurry so I can't tell what she look like, but I don't let that bug me a whole lot. All I know is that today was Sunday and we both have tons of homework to do. And we'll get around to it… soon.
Tara: I have to write a ten page paper about the Civil War for Mr. Smith's class.
Silo: I have to write an essay about World War 1 for Mrs. Crabgrass's class.
Tara: Shouldn't we be doing that?
Silo: We'll do it, when I finish my pizza.
I could see her smiling and rolling her eyes. I can understand that. She's a little bit more mature than me in some ways.
Tara: Come on, you can finish that when we get home.
Silo: Fine.
Me and Tara lives in a hotel together. I'm only living with her because my uncle was out at sea. If you think he works with the Coast Guard, you'r kinda wrong, he's an explorer. His name is Nick Waters. I get to talk to him every few nights and I send him video diaries every-time I get the change to. Besides our known past, my powers, and the villains of jump city, our lives are pretty normal. The hotel was next door to our school, so in some kind of way, were not always late. We walked in, got our mail, and before we could open the door to our room, the boy next door walked up to us. He had black hair, brown eyes, always wearing a skull T-shirt, baggy pants, and black shoes. He also flirts with us when he gets a change to. His name is Zane Bark.
Zane: Hey there good lookings.
Tara: Zane.
Silo: Zane.
Zane: You know? I think we don't hang out a lot.
Silo: Oh?
Tara: You think?
Zane: Here's an idea, let's go see a movie.
Silo: Here's a better one.
I closed the door right in his face. We had homework to do and we needed to do it now. And let me tell ya, it was the worst 5 hours of my life! No TV, no food, and worst of all, no music! What kind of crazy person can do homework and not listen to music-don't answer that.
Tara: You know I think we're almost out of food. Want to get some more?
Silo: Yes please!
I was glad to stop doing my homework. The supermarket was only a few blocks from our home. I'm not too sure how we run out of food every few weeks. When we got there, our choice our usual choices. Pizza, ice cream, candy, power drinks, fruit, and power bars. No wonder we'll felling gym, we're lazy! We were just about to pay for them, when the left wall exploded. In came a man with dark skin,a little black bread, his suit was black with gray gloves that had little yellow balls in the middle. His shoes were gray, so was his belt that had little yellow balls all over it. His suit had a light bulb on it. The helmet he was wearing was black like his suit and on top of it was a small metal thing. His name was Doctor Light.
Dr. Light: All of you, on your knees.
On one moved when he talked, his voice was powerful.
Dr. Light: Knees, NOW!
He used his powers to shoot the roof, avoiding getting crushed, everyone, that goes for me and Tara, got on their knees. He walked towards the cash-register and opened it up. I could see a button that calls the Teen Titans. But if I get up, I'm finished. So when he wasn't looking, I carefully made my way to the button and pushed it. That's when I felt someone pulling me up to my feet.
Dr. Light: The button. What does it do?!
Silo: It calls the Teen Titans.
I can tell by the way he growled, he wasn't happy.
Dr. Light: They won't hurt me if I have someone to protect me.
He put his arm around my neck and we exited the store. That's when the Teen Titans came. I know the Titans won't hurt him if I was with him. I can tell the look on Robin's face that he didn't want to deal with this. Starfire had a worried look on her face. She's always such a sweetheart. Raven really didn't have an expression on her face. Beast Boy had a mean look on his face. And Cyborg had his arm cannon ready to fire.
Robin: Let her go Dr. Light!
Dr. Light: No one tells me what to do!
Starfire: Please don't hurt her!
Dr. Light: Maybe I won't, maybe I will…
I had to think of something. If only I was in the water- that's it!
Silo: Um. Dr. Light? I know how you can get the title of the powerful super villain in the world.
Dr. Light: I'm listening.
Silo: Threw me off the bridge.
Robin: What?!
Raven: What does she think she's doing?
Dr. Light: Hmm…
Silo: Think of it. People will fear the name…
Dr. Light: Doctor Light.
Silo: See? So why waste your time on them, when you can be remembered by the guy who killed an innocent teenager?
Dr. Light: Very well.
He used his powers to get us to the bright in a flash. He walked up to the edge of the bridge and I look down. This is such a good idea. Doctor Light looked over his shoulder to see Cyborg's car coming our way.
Dr. Light: You're to late, Titans!
He pushed me and I fell into the water. I looked up to see the fight had stared. Knowing Raven, I wonder if she knows I'm alive. Just in case, I swam to he beach, when I heard a dolphin in trouble. I swam to where I heard the cries of help and sure enough, he was trapped in a fishing net. I didn't waste time getting out. When he was free I helped him get to the surface. When he was up, I went back to try and contact his friends. It wasn't long ill hey came and took him home. Maybe she she was right. Maybe I would make a good Titan. But I didn't have time to think about that, I had to get back to see if Tara the the other people were okay. What I didn't see was someone was watching me. And I didn't know what that this certain someone will change my life forever.
To be continued…
