I'm sorry that I wasn't able to update yesterday. I was really, terribly, super ill. I was sofa and bed bound. I hope this chapter makes up for the day that I missed. Thanks to all of you who reviewed.
Raven coughed up seawater as she resurfaced. Ebony had caught her by surprise and when she hit the water, she had inhaled causing her to take in the salty water. She looked back up at the tower to see if there was any sign of Ebony. No such look. That's when she felt something tugging at her ankle.
'Raven!' Lulu gasped as she shot up from where she was sitting.
'What?' He mother raised an eyebrow at her daughter as she looked away from the TV for a split second.
'Rae…you remember her, right?'
'How could I forget? You were best friends until…she left.'
'Mom, we're still best friends. Well, at least I hope we are. But, I just had this weird feeling. Strange, like she was…I dunno. It's happened a few times before but…' Lulu frowned.
'What make's you think it's her?' Her mother asked.
'You remember the time that she broke her wrist because of James?'
'Yes.'
'Well, there you have it. Why wouldn't it be her?'
'I think that Turtle Chicken had gone to your head.' Her mother sighed. Lulu just gave her mother a weird look before strolling over to the window. The Azerathian sun was high in the sky.
'You know. I kinda miss her.' Lulu sighed as she leant her elbows on the window ledge.
'It's been years now, Lu. Why are you bringing all this up now? Is something going on?' Her mother asked as she walked over to her daughter.
'Things constantly play on my mind. I guess…mom? Can I go visit her? I mean, go see her on Earth?' Lulu asked with a pleading look in her eye.
'No.' Her mother put simply. Lulu mumbled something under her breath before turning away and looking back out at the beautiful city that she was proud to call home. Lulu smirked as an idea came to mind.
'Miss Lulu, born to Rachelle. Her mother, Rachelle, is so horrid that she won't even let her own daughter see her best friend. Tell me, Miss Lulu, how does this make you fell? Well, it upsets me dearly to think that my own dear sweet mother will not allow me to visit Raven. If only she would listen to this message. Oh please mother of mine. Could you find it in your heart to trust me enough to let me go to Earth to see Raven?' Lulu acted the whole way through her speak. Once she had finished, she innocently looked over at her smiling mother.
'So, what do you say?' Lulu asked hopefully.
'Promise to behave?' Rachelle crossed her arms across her chest as she spoke.
'Of course. So, is that a "Yes Lulu, you can go."?'
'Yes. But only if you don't get up to any mischief and don't cause trouble. You're dead if you do.' Rachelle warned.
'What kind of girl do you take me for?'
'One that likes to paint her windows black to keep the sun out whilst yelling at the top of her lungs "AHH! The sunlight! It…BUURNNNNSSS!" So don't get doing any of that stuff. They'll put you in a…oh what do they call it? Umm…mental institute.' Rachelle smirked.
'Mom, that was a terrible impression of me. You would think after living with me for Azar knows how long, you would know how to act like your own offspring.' Lulu shook her head.
'Just get on with it and remember what I told you.'
'Do I ever disobey you?'
'Uhh…yeah. All the time.'
'Oh yeah! Okay, bye.' With that, Lulu ran to her room, stood in the middle of her room, chanted a few words and was pulled into a blue type vortex.
With an audible thud, Lulu hit the ground hard. She let out a small squeal before looking around her. She seemed to be in some sort of room.
'Who are you?' Lulu looked round to see Starfire floating just in front of her.
'Who's asking?' Lulu immediately regretted what she had just said when Starfire's eyes began to glow green.
'Tell me who you are or I will be forced to…' Starfire began.
'Wait! I'm Lu. But you can just call me Lulu. I'm Raven's friend. Does she by any chance live here? And where is she?' Lulu asked in a hurry.
'Joyous! I am Starfire. Princess of Tamaran. Friend Raven is on the roof.' Starfire beamed before grabbing hold of Lulu's arm and pulling her through half the tower and up to the roof.
'Friend Lulu, are you from Azerath too?' Starfire asked as they climbed the stairs.
'Yeah. Me and Rae were like best friends. So, I'm guessing that you and her are good friends?'
'Indeed. We go to the mall of shopping all the time!' Starfire smiled. They finally reached the roof. Starfire pushed the door open and looked around for her friend.
'Friend Raven?' She called out. They looked around for her but to no avail.
'She may be in her room.' Starfire said as she turned to Lulu.
'She's not in her room. I've just been there looking for her.' The two girls turned to see Robin leaning on the door frame.
'Friend Robin, this is Lulu. She is a friend of Raven's. She is from Azerath too.' Starfire giggled. Robin just smiled at her.
'So, if she's not in her room or up here where would she normally be?' Lulu asked. Just then, they heard a faint scream. They all ran over to the edge of the roof and looked down towards the ocean.
'What in Azar's name was that?' Lulu gasped but before anyone could answer, two figures shot out of the water.
Hope you liked it. Review please.
