Oh my God, I'm soooo sorry this took so long! I started school last week, and i had all this SHIT to take care of (2 hours of homework on the second day... Algebra and French- two advanced classes. I choose French, dispite the warning of crap loads of homework. Bad decisions, BAD decisions...)

Then I had multiple parties and sleepover's and museum trips and- it was just bad.

I'm an introvert! I had 0 personal hours this weekend! No time was spent alone! Not to mention I'm also working on the sequel to Nightshade (Hooray!) It's called Dark Shadows... for obvious *coughConnor* related reasons.

Disclaimer- You know the drill, I don't own, BLAH BLAH BLAH!

#7

I shivered, running my hands over my now bare arms. What remained of my tattered outfit was my necklace and dress. My stocking were so ripped that it looked like I had tied three or four ribbons to my legs. My boots were destroyed.

Stupid Titans. I'm not even a bad guy anymore!

My feet were numb from the cold and were bleeding from various cuts and scrapes. I wasn't badly injured, in fact, most of the blood on my feet was from- well, me but all the scratches were really small, just very numerous.

If you had the ability to shapeshift into any animal, extinct, living, or mythogical, why would you choose a cat? Granted, my feet hurt now and my uniform is in tatters, but… really?

I'm not quite sure were I'm walking yet, but I'll figure it out soon enough. My feet are simply suffering from blood loss and are having trouble communicating with my brain.

I stuck to the shadows cast by the apartments, shying away from the crowded streets and bright lights of Jump City shops, instead slinking through the alleys to get to my unknown destination. I passed through the crowded parts of town and now was in the residential area, walking behind the townhouses.

I heard a door open, "Jinx?" I turned sharply, surprised to hear my name. Someone stood in the doorway, outlined with the bright inside lights so I couldn't make out his features.

"Jinx, what are you doing? Are you okay? C'mere! What happened?!" I mentally groaned as I realized who it was. I trudged forwards, wary of my aching feet, and hopped over his short wooden fence that come up to my chest. I walked up to him. He stepped beside to let me in. he closed the door behind me and just stared at me for a minute,

"You're short. Are you always this short?"

I threw my hands up in the air, "Seriously? That's the first thing you have to say to me?!"

"Actually, the first thing I said was 'Jinx?' then 'Jinx, what are you doing here?'" He corrected with a smirk. I groaned.

"My boots are gone. I'm short, get over it."

He stared at me, shocked, then a large grin dominated his face and he pumped his fist in the air with a whoop, "Yeees! I hated those boots!" he cheered.

"What's wrong with my boots?" I asked tiredly, walking into his kitchen and searching through his cabinets for a glass until I found one.

He shrugged, "I always worry you'll trip or something while you're fighting in those things."

Jinx glared weakly at me over her shoulder, "I can handle myself perfectly well, thank you very much."

"What- but I- I didn't say that!" I sputtered. She snorted a little as she filled up her glass with cold water. She boosted herself with some difficulty onto my counter. I leaned against the wooden table that took up one corner of my kitchen,

"So… what happened?" I gestured to her outfit.

"An idiot who somehow managed to become a Teen Titan attacked me… as a fucking cat." She muttered. She looked at me over her glass, "A fucking green cat. Like, a housecat." She glared at her feet, turning them to show me the various tiny scratches that littered them.

"…It's moments like these were I really regret becoming a Teen Titan."

Please just review or something... i need ideas or I'll start working on the last chapter, which is already half done, so... you have been warned!

Review to prove your Loyalty!
