Just something I've been playing with in my spare time. I quite like how it turned out, actually. I don't know whether to continue it or what, but it kinda lends itself to being continued. I'll see what guys think. This chapter, or prologue, is Starfire-centric, but if I do decide to continue, it would be more of a whole team thing. I'm just not good at doing Starfire. Anyway...
Discalimer: They belong to DC and Warner Bros. :cries:
So Cild: Prologue thing...
She shivered and rubbed her arms. The sun shone down with it's burning rays, but she was still so cold. Cold inside. She ran a hand through her hair and shivered.
Her eyes searched around the park. Ice. Everything and everyone. So cold. Covered in ice. Looking down at her suddenly numb hands, she saw ice clambering over her fingers, over her knuckles, along her wrists and up her arms. It covered her legs too. Ice. Glistening in the light. So cold. The ice covered her mouth. It froze her inside. So cold...
Starfire sat up in bed, rubbing her arms and legs. Her teeth chattered like she'd just been outside in the snow. As far as she knew, it wasn't snowing. In fact, they'd had an unusually warm winter. And even now, the beginning of January, it was very mild weather.
Running a hand through her hair, Star swung her legs over the side of the bed and walked over to the window. Pulling back the bright pink curtains, she could clearly the snow flakes dancing past her window, and when she looked down, a thin layer of snow was covering the ground.
Closing the curtains again, Star stood in her room, rubbing her thawing arms and thinking. A fierce gust of wind hit the tower, making everything creak.
Star did not like this at all. In the dark, and in forbidding weather such as this, the tower became a very foreboding place. What with all it's dark corridors and shadowy corners.
Starfire crept through the tower, making her way to Raven's room. Raven was almost as foreboding as the tower, but at least she could keep her company. She knocked lightly on the metal door, and twiddled her thumbs, waiting for an answer.
The door opened, showing a disgruntled Raven. Her face softened slightly when she saw Starfire. She had obviously been expecting Beast Boy or Cyborg.
"My friend Raven, I do not wish to be a bother to you. But I was wondering if I could stay with you for a short while." Star twiddled her thumbs, an obvious sign of nervousness. "It is just that I had a frightening dream and... I do not wish to be alone..." She trailed off.
Raven opened the door a little wider and cocked her head. "Come in. But be quiet. I would like to sleep tonight."
Starfire nodded and gave Raven a slight, almost soft hug. "Thank you friend Raven."
Starfire was used to the creepyness of Raven's room, but tonight it did not seem so bad. She dropped off to sleep, no longer feeling cold, but rather, comforted by friends kind and uncharcteristic gesture.
As always, review damnit! You got this far, it won't kill you...
