Hey Guys!

So this is CH. 3…..

Disclaimer: Once again I don't own the characters, but my own and I don't own teen titans, but I do own the rights and entitlements to this story.

So without further ado, enjoy!

A girl was running through the woods getting scratches on her face from the undergrowth and tearing off scraps of clothing on spiny tree branches, as she fled in a mad frenzy from her pursuer.

She looked back-only to run right into the chest of Garfield Logan.

She screamed and fell back, pleading for her life.

"Please! Don't do this! I promise it won't happen again!"

But the blonde teen ignored the girl's useless cries as he held up a colt peacekeeper.

"Jackpot"

And then he pulled the trigger, right as the girl's eyes flashed red and fangs protruded from her mouth.

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!

Rachel awoke in a cold sweat as visions from her latest nightmare still danced beneath her eyelids.

Trying vainly to shake off the effects of her dream, the young teen stumbled her way to the bathroom; splashing water on her face in an effort to calm her racing heart.

After drying off her face, the girl looked into her mirror to once again stare at her reflection.

Pale Skin, Cropped Jet Black Hair, Indigo eyes, and every growing dark, angry, black rings beneath her tired eyes.

Sighing, the girl decided to get ready for school as she heard her mother leave the house.

Deciding on a pair of dark blue skinnies and a large grey sweater, Rachel grabbed her bag and headed downstairs to the kitchen to grab a piece of toast before rushing out the front door.

She was actually excited about school today, she smiled.

Her new friends were….strange to say the least.

After starting off in Ms. McKinnely's class, Rachel found out that her new friend Vic and she shared quite a few classes together.

During lunch he made it a point to have her sit with him and his group of friends, whom she surprisingly liked.

Dick Grayson was a pale teen, with spiky black hair and icy blue eyes. The adopted son of a wealthy business man, Dick was known around the school for his icy demeanor and Boy Scout attitude. But once you thawed out the edges, you'd find out he was a loyal friend and a kind spirit.

Kori Anders-Dick's Girlfriend- was very tan, almost orange! She transferred to Summit High two years ago, from a foreign country known as Tameran. She was what most girls wanted to look like, tall, athletic, with bright green eyes and fiery red hair. But what really made her beautiful was her personality; she was carefree, and overly cheerful and loyal to her friends.

Rachel smiled as she got off the bus to her school.

She had friends…that was a new twist for her.

Her smile suddenly turned into a frown.

Garfield Logan however…..she didn't get him.

At lunch, she saw him sitting by himself; he was kind of the rebel of the school, and not the kind to pick a fight with from what she heard from her new friends.

But what she didn't get was why she was so drawn by him.

Something just didn't add up.

Noticing that the bus made it to her school, the young Goth girl stepped off and walked up the steps to find her friends waiting for her.

Smiling she rushed over to them and was greeted by her new friends.

"Hey there Rachel! How are you enjoying it at Summit?" her friend Vic asked her with a smile.

Dick nodded at her in acknowledgement with a small smile as his arm wrapped around his girlfriend Kori.

She smiled in return and waved to Kori, who enthusiastically returned it, before the young, Goth turned her attention back to the jock.

"I'm enjoying it so far th-"The girl was cut off, by the purr of Gar's purple Harley as he pulled up to the school.

As he was getting off his bike, the Goth fixed him with her fiercest glare which he returned with a devilish grin and a saucy wink before grabbing his bag and flinging it over his shoulder as he walked off to class.

Glare still in place, with pink dusting her cheeks she turned back to her friend Vic.

"What's his problem?" she asked.

The large teen shrugged, the muscles in his shoulders rippling beneath his Varsity Football jacket as he looked back where the blonde teen had walked off.

"I don't know," he answered, a frown taking over his face. As he turned back to the girl, " Six years ago, we actually used to be best friends."

Her eyebrow rose as she fixed the teen a curious look.

"Really?" to which Vic nodded. "What happened?"

The boy's eyes saddened as he looked away from her.

"Both his parents were killed in a freak fire at his house, and after that…..well the boy grew distant, stopped talking to people and causing trouble, he's bad news."

Rachel looked down, "Oh."

Suddenly the bell rang.

Vic lightened up and flashed the Goth a smile.

"Well, let's get to class!"

She returned it with a Mona Lisa smile of her own before she followed him up the steps to their first class.

The day passed by uneventfully as lunch tolled.

Rachel sighed, relieved that class was over as she grabbed her messenger bag and walked off to lunch.

Suddenly someone shoved into her shoulder and she was sent almost tumbling to the floor, she was caught however by a pair of solid arms wrapping around her middle.

"Easy there small fry, don't go falling for me." A smooth tenor voice teased her/

Looking up, the Goth saw the smirking face of Garfield Logan.

Glaring, she removed his arms and pushed him away from her roughly. "Bite me." She deadpanned as she picked up her backpack and hastily started refilling it with the contents that fell out.

"Is that a request or an invitation?"

Getting up far faster than she thought possible, the girl turned towards the black-clad teen with a glare and a growing blush, and marched towards him.

He smiled fiendishly at her, and stood in a lazed position.-one hand in his pocket, the other held out to her.-

"I don't believe we met." He replied with a grin.

"I'm Garfield Logan, but you can call me Gar; Rae right?"

She looked down at his hand, taking notice of the silver rings on his thumb and middle finger along with the bandage wrappings on his index and middle. Before looking back at his face, with the piercing green eyes, blonde locks and easy going grin, she softened if but a second before she turned to glare at him again.

"It's Rachel." She deadpanned as she walked away, never noticing the smirk that adorned the boy's face.

And then he pulled the trigger, right as the girl's eyes flashed red and fangs protruded from her mouth.

Breathing Heavily, Gar pulled out his cellphone and pressed the talk button.

"Yeah it's me, Hey Devil." He wheezed out, trying to get his breath back as the person on the other end of the line spoke.

"Yeah, you were right, they were gonna send someone after her. A fang no less." The boy paused for a moment and nodded to himself.

"Understood, I'll make sure that she's safe."

Garfield looked up and saw Rachel as she hopped into bed and turned out the light.

He hung up, fading into the shadows.

So what did you guys think?

Who are these people after Rachel?

Who is Gar? More importantly who is his partner?

The answers…COMING SOON!

Haha

Please remember to Review!

Spidey out!
