Man, I got home today and got my first Review to this story. Thanks FlamersRockAndYouKnowIt for taking the time to read and send a review for my story. I'm sorry to hear my story is disappointing (first horror story and all) but I promise to make it more grusime and terrifing in the later chapters. Like when the monster actually shows up... LOL.
Anyway, I may not be able to up date alot the next week (I hate Exams) but I'll do my best to get this to you all. Anyway, bye for now!
Chapter 1
The day began like any other. As Cyborg and Beastboy fought about tofu vs. real meat, Robin and Starfire talked about what plans the titans had for the day. Raven quietly drank her morning tea. She felt so on edge from her nightmare she practically jumped from her seat as the door bell rang.
The boys' argument stopped as Cyborg went over to the screen that acted as a window. Pressing a few keys on the computer a face appeared on the screen. A young girl with long black hair and sun glasses was waiting outside with four other occupants. "How do you know they're going to answer?" the girl asked. She was speaking to the two toddlers next to her. "They can see us," answered the boy. He was pointing at the camera. The youngest, a baby that the girl held in her arms, was waving at the camera.
A young girl holding the hand of what looked like a giant teddy bear spoke up, "Hi everyone! Can we come in!"
"Hey look, it's those kids you babysat once Raven," said Cyborg.
"Oh how wonderful!" cheered Starfire. "Please, can we let them in?"
"Hold on Star, let's find out who the other girl is with them," said Robin. He walked over to the computer and pressed a button. "This is Robin," he announced. The girl seemed to jump as though the voice had come from thin air.
"Hi Robin!" called Timmy and Melvin. Teether could not speak but he waved excitedly. "We came to visit!" cheered Timmy.
"Alright, just one question," answered Robin. "Who is that with you?" The girl looked nervous. "umm.. My name… I'm… Lily," the girl answered as she gave a small bow. "Lily Faith."
"She's the one who looks after us at the temple," added Melvin. Bobby nodded with an awkward smile on his face. "Okay, we'll be down soon," answered Robin. He turned off the screen. Then he turned to his team. "Let's go," he announced.
Starfire was the first to leave for the bottom room. Quickly everyone else followed. Raven was on edge even more. Melvin, Timmy, and Teether had been in her nightmare. What if it came true? She gently shook her head to get rid of such thoughts. Nightmares were nightmares, they were not real.
The five titans opened the enormous door allowing their guests inside. The children came running in excitedly. Lily was more cautious as she entered. "Hello new friend," Starfire greeted Lily. Lily slightly jumped at Starfire's greeting, but quickly calmed down. "I am Starfire," Starfire added. Lily set Teether in one arm and reached her now free hand out to Starfire. "It's a pleasure to meet you," she said sweetly. Starfire did not take Lily's had, but hugged her instead. "Careful Star," cautioned Robin. Starfire let go of Lily. Teether looked to be as dizzy as Lily from Starfire's grasp.
In the mean time Timmy and Melvin were with Cyborg, Beastboy, and Raven. "…because Lily is going away, we need to find a new home," Melvin explained.
"So she brought you hear to us?" asked Cyborg.
"Of course," answered Lily. Her attention was now on what Timmy and Melvin were saying. "The children speak of you quiet often." Timmy suddenly grabbed onto Raven's cloche and started shouting, "And this is Raven. Raven come meet Lily." He pulled at her cloche.
"Timmy, let go of her cloche," called Lily. The young boy did as he was told. "I hope you don't mind our unexpected arrival," Lily spoke to the titans. "But I can't stay with them at the temple so I was hoping you could look after them until we find them a permanent home."
"Well, for a little while I guess we could," answered Robin. The children suddenly cheered. "Hey BB, now you have someone who might actually laugh at your jokes," teased Cyborg.
"Hey!" complained Beastboy. He suddenly crossed his arms crossly making him look childish. Lily giggle slightly at his action. "Well, now that everything is settled," she said. Gently she handed Teether to Starfire. "I should be going. It was nice meeting you all."
"Lily wait," Melvin called. She and Timmy had her by the waist. "Don't go," cried Timmy. Lily kneeled down so she was at the children's heights. "I have to go," Lily said to them.
"Bt we don't want you to go," Melvin cried. Teether was moving about as though he wanted to join in. "I thought you guys said you liked the titans," Lily said.
"We do, but we want you to stay too," Melvin answered. Bobby nodded.
"Maybe you could stay for tonight," suggested Beastboy. "Until the kids get settled in."
"Tonight's not a good night," Lily answered. Her sunglasses hide any emotion that showed in her eyes. "How come?" asked Cyborg.
"I wish I could tell you," Lily answered. "But I have to go."
"Please Lily, stay tonight," pleaded Melvin.
"Stay, stay, stay," Timmy continued to cry. He held tight to Lily's arm. "And then we can all celebrate your Birthday with you tomorrow," added Melvin.
"Your Birthday? Dude, now you have to stay," said Beastboy. Lily looked at each of the titans. "I wouldn't be a bother if I stayed?" she asked.
"Of course not," cheered Starfire.
Lily looked at each person in front of her. A small smile crossed her lips. "Okay, but only tonight," she said. "There's no possible way I can stay another." The children cheered once again. Lily stood up. "So let's find these guys a room," she said as she removed her sunglasses. Raven had to stop herself from gasping as she saw Lily's left blue eye and right brown eye.
