Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, but I DO own the character Silveta, see my Profile/Bio to read about her if you want... (There I go writing this again... won't this ever get tiresome?!)
Since that day, Silveta began to spend more time on her room then anywhere else. Soon her 'out room' moments were reduced to go to missions and to eat. Later it was reduced to missions only, but was the last one to get out to the mission. She was always a good support on fights, but now she was getting more and more useless, soon turning into more of an 'extra baggage' than a help for the Titans due to the fact she wasn't eating. She also hasn't said a single word. Soon she was spending 24 hours of the day inside her room. All the Titans were worried sick, especially Cyborg, who still would try to talk to Silveta, but always found her room's door locked. This just couldn't keep up!
"This is getting out of hand!", said Robin, "Silveta doesn't even poke her head out of her room anymore!", commented BeastBoy, "Something is disturbing our friend! What is it!?", asked Starfire with her eyes full of worry, "I would know if I could read her mind, but she blocks me every time I try!", said Raven. They looked at Cyborg, who was thinking, "Hmm... she's been acting like this since... since the day we started decorating the Tower for Christmas!", he said turning to his friends, "Dude, is the decoration really that bad?!", asked BeastBoy kinda confused, "I don't think it's the decoration, BB... I believe it has something to do with the holiday itself.", commented Robin, "Oh, this might be a possibility, man!", said Cyborg with one idea else going through his head...

Poor Silveta… The little kid was more useless than ever. She was lying on her bed because she barely could stand on her feet, her arms extended to the borders of her bed, holding her Hero Chao plush in her right hand, the eyebags made her look so totally hopeless and ill, the closed curtains wouldn't let the moonlight reach her skin, now paler than ever, it was even paler than Raven's! She couldn't do anything but stare at the ceiling above her while those memories ran through her aching head. Her throat was aching from so much crying, her eyes were red-ish rimmed and puffy, of course from so much crying too. She wanted to cry more, but she didn't have enough throat to it, and her eyes seemed like they already had cried all the tears they got, though her soul seemed like wanting to cry forever… She was almost falling asleep when she got surprised by a knock on the door, the startle made her lose grasp on her plush that fell to the ground. There was another knocks, it was Starfire… "Silveta! It is me, Starfire!..." there was an estrange grumble that surely belonged to their mascot "… and Silkie.", Starfire finished. Silveta didn't answer. "Silveta, please open the door, please talk to us, even Silkie is worried about you!", Silkie gave another grumble, as if begging Silveta to open the door, she didn't answer again, she just stood there listening to them, "Silveta… Please say something, anything! Why you will not talk to us, friend? Are you angry at us?", Silveta widened her eyes, Starfire was feeling bad for something that wasn't her fault, Silveta knew she had to answer this time, 'cause Starfire (and Silkie) didn't have to feel blamed, "No… I'm not.", she finally answered, but in a weak and hoarse voice, "…I'm not angry at you… neither is 'Hero'.", she finished mentioning her Hero Chao plush, which had fell to the ground not too long before. "Then please open the door, my friend! You have been there for too long.", "…I can't…", "Why not, Silveta!? Why not?", Silkie gave a fast grumble, "Because…", Silveta paused for a second, it's been a time since the last time she said a single word, "…because you don't need to see me in this way, Star.", "Which way, Silveta?", Silveta didn't answer anymore. "Silveta? Silveta, please!", Starfire insisted, along with grumbles of Silkie begging Silveta to open the door, but there wasn't any answer from Silveta anymore. Starfire and Silkie had no choice but to leave. She walked away from Silveta's room looking at Silkie, which looked as worried as her. "If she's not angry at us, Silkie… then what is bugging her?" She asked herself, Silkie didn't make any sound, as if saying something like "I don't know…".

"… then she did not say anything else.", Starfire had told Cyborg what happened. He wasn't looking at her, actually he was working on something on the Tower's system computer, but he was paying total attention to Starfire, he gave a heavy sigh, "I'm afraid, Star… I'm afraid that staying too long locked at her room like that might be driving her to snap in the insanity.", Starfire lifted an eyebrow, she didn't get very well what Cyborg said, "Hm… how come, friend Cyborg?", "When people get locked in a room like this, their mind might crack, lose the normality and fall in the dement… they might get crazy! And trust me, Star… that's not good.", Cyborg explained his alien friend. "Well, friend Cyborg… when Silkie and I talked to her, by her voice, she looked sick and not 'krazy'…", "It's 'crazy', Starfire… and the craziness can't be identified by the voice, their physical appearance are normal 'cause the insanity's psychological, it's inside their minds, making them stop thinking rationally, making them stop thinking right…", there was a short silence between them when Starfire finally spoke: "So… do you think Silveta got… insane…?", "No, at least not yet… but she soon will if she stay locked at her room any longer.", Starfire figured that Cyborg was doing something at the computer, but couldn't see what, she tilted forward a little, "Uh, friend Cyborg… what are you doing?", Cyborg kept pushing the buttons of the computer keyboard quickly, "Something that a locked door won't stop me from going ahead…"
