Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own the Teen Titans. Happily (?) I do own my own characters, which would be right now, only Melody.
A/n: This is probably gonna suck, but oh well. It's my first fanfic, so forgive me. I welcome flames ( well I'd rather not have them, but feel free to cyber-yell at me if you want to)
Chapter One: A Stranger
It was Friday night, and all the Titans were sitting on the half-crescent couch, watching a movie, when a booming knock sounded on the front door. Robin, frowning, went to get it, thinking to himself Who would be out in this storm? For, indeed, a ghastly ( A/n: ghastly? Don't ask) storm was sitting on top of the city, and had been for three days.
Opening the door reveled a drenched girl, about his age. Gasping, she stumbled inside, eyes wide with fear.
"Please, I beg you, let me stay here just for tonight. There are things hunting me that will not be able to find me here. I promise, by morning I will be gone." She had a sweet soprano voice that, right now was trembling for cold and terror.
"By all means, come in. Let's get you some different clothes first though, and then you can explain your story." Robin told her, guiding her into the living room. "Star, could you find some clothes her size, and a few blankets? BB, mind making hot chocolate?" Starfire and Beast Boy both nodded and went to go get the things he requested.
Robin and Cyborg made her sit on the couch until they came back, while Raven studied her critically. She had long jet-black hair that was curling from the rain. Her face was heart shaped, with ivory skin, high cheekbones, and amazing blue-violet eyes. Her clothes were little more than rags, and Raven could see that the girl had many cuts and bruises.
"What's your name?" asked Raven in a monotone.
"You can call me Melody."
