A small light filtered through a small opening in the wall. It was really dark in here and I couldn't see a thing. I was held against my will my the man who killed my father, being strapped down to a cold medal chair. It's been eight years since my dad died; I'm eighteen now. The man took my only power...the necklace. Without it I'm just another useless human, unable to protect myself.
A glooming shadow was sillhouetted by the thin light. It was the man himself.
"Get me out of here!" I screeched, wishing for nothing more than to have her powers back.
"Really, you think it's that simple?" The man chuckled. "I've been searching for this necklace eight years and you want me to let you go?"
I struggled in the chair to get free but nothing worked.
"NOW!" I hissed, blood-red furry sweeping over my gaze. The man walked closer and I saw he had my necklace in his hand.
"Fiery temper, eh Scarlet?" The man joked, before placeing the necklace on a metal table. "Keep that up and I'll consider you as an apprentice."
Scarlet scwirmed vigorously in the chair but all use was hopeless. I could think of nothing else but scream as loud as she could until someone heard. Scarlet screamed; it echoed against the metal walls, bouncing back only to make the scream seem louder. The tall man covered his ears and painfully slapped Scarlett on the cheek.
"Shut up you little twit!" He yelled. Scarlet's cheek burned, but not as much as her determination to get out of here. The man sighed and walked to the door before looking back.
"If you get out I'll kill you." And then he left.

Hours Later.
Scarlet saw a small little rodent wiggle its way into the small crack. It hoped it way onto her lap and wiggled it's nose at her. She wanted to scream but the man was asleep in the room. Scarlet looked down at the little rat, she notices that it's tail was green. She took one more anxious glance and saw that the entire rat was green.
"Shh," It told her. "Where here to save you."
Scarlet just stared, a talking rat? She just Shook the thought away as the rat chewed through the rope on her arms and legs.
She was free! Scarlet tip-toed to her necklace that was left on the taple and put it around her neck. The familiar streanght flooded back to her as the feeling of fire coursed through her veins.
"This way the mouse squeaked." Scarlet looked back and noticed the rat had talked again. She felt a little wierd about the whole thing but she'd get over it.
Using her powers, she floated beside the mouse. He easily slipped through the crack, so Scarlet had to compromise. She grabbed the metal and pulled it apart until she was big enough to fit through. The noise woke the man so Scarlet knew just what to do.
Using the powers from the necklace she sent flames at her hands, throwing them at the man than at the building, setting the place on fire. Scarlet threw her flames in blind fury,she was determined to kill him. After all he's done to her he'll pay!
"Stop!" A voice wailed from behind her. A strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her away from the now burining building. Scarelt squirmed from the strong grip, falling on the concrete. Scarlet noticed five people standing in front of her.
"Who are you?" Scarlet asked nervously. A boy in dark hair stepped forward.
"I'm Robin, the leader of the TeenTitans." He said offering her a hand. Scarlet hesitated at first but ultimatley took it. Robin pulled her up ad smiled at her.
"So you have powers?" Robin said with an admired tone.
"Uh,..yeah..sure." Scarlet said taking a step back.
"Where are you going?" A green boy asked grabbing her arm. Scarlet jumped back at his sudden gesture. "Oh I'm sorry!" He said holding up his arms.
"Why so jumpy, flame girl?" A pretty girl with pink hair said with a worried smile. Robin placeda hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe if we offer her some diner she'll calm down." Robin said with a smile. He slowly held out his hand. " Come with us." He said.
Scarlet softly pushed his hand to his chest.
"I float." She said with a chuckle. The green boy elbowed Robin's arm.
"You got rejected man!" He laughed. Robin rolled his eyes as the pink haired girl showed her the way to the tower.
