Chapter 8

Still 16

As Slade lundged towerds the bed Lilac jumped out of the way just in time. She scrambled for the door but the fire blocked her path. She saw a way through the fire and ran forwerd running into the closet. Slaming the door behind her she hid in a corner praying he didn't know she was there. What could she do? She heard heavy footsteps walk towerds the closet and stop in front. Smoke rained in suddenly as Slade pryed the door open.

"Im going to kill you just like your parents little girl." he hissed. Lilac's temper was rising and taking over her fear.
He had killed her parents he wasent going to get her. In a sudden burst of light that blew Slade back Lilac stood up with newly found confidence. It was time for her to stop being scared. She glared at him but inside worried about using her powers. He growled in anger and stood back up.

"So your going to fight back. It doesnt matter what you do sweet Lilac your not going to see tomorrow." he said calmly as if talking about nothing.

She gritted her teeth and stared at him. " No, Your not going to kill me like you did my parents. You're not going to!" she shouted out.
Her fear was taking over again as she realized he had the ability to do it. He laughed and it sent a chill up her spine. The fire around her was causing too much smoke and it was getting hard to breathe. She coughed once then twice and gave enough hesitation for Slade to attack. He grabbed her arm and wipped her around slaming her into a wall. She fell to the floor in pain and cried out. Laughing again he came forwerd to attack again but this time was blown back. Using most of her remaning energy she hit him with what looked like a ball of white light. He grunted as he hit the other side of the room and Lilac chose that time to make an escape. Running to her window she opened it and jumped out. Bewildered Slade ran to the window and looked down. She hadent fallen but was flying up. Black angel wings had sprouted from her back and she was now flying upwards. He yelled out in frustration and using his new powers jumped up to the roof.

"Nice trick little girl. Now you can see mine." he yelled out as she landed down on the roof. He raised his hands and sent a fire ball right into her chest. She fell back crying in pain and exhastion. Using her powers had drained her to much and she coulden't fight much longer. As she tried to get back up and ignore the burns on her chest but he hit her with another one this time hitting her arm. Crying out in pain again she grabbed her arm and stood back up. She coulden't let him win. As he got prepared to throw another she flung herself at him. The pain was so intense now she was pretty much numb to it.
Lilac landed on top of him and beat her fist against him. He grabbed her wrists and flung her off of him. She hit the ground with a thud. Laying there she didn't know what else to do. She barley had the energy to stand and could probably not use her powers. She knew she could heal but the burns wouldent heal.
Lilac didn't know from where but she heard the chime of a clock. It chimeing and chiming and with each chime SLade got closer. All she could think about was the chimes as she counted them. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. On the 11th chime Slade raised his hands to attack and on the 12th he was gone.

Lilac looked up confused. It started to rain and as the rain beat down on her she wondered if it had been a dream. No she still had burns on her it wasent a dream.
She knew she had to get inside to tell the others but right now she needed to rest. She just lay there letting the rain beat down on her. He was gone for now. Maybe he woulden't come back. Maybe. As she listened to the rain beat against the roof and on her she drifted off to a peaceful sleep thinking that Slade was gone.
That was to far from the truth.

Apollo woke up in the mediacal room. His leg hurt vicouisly and so did his head. His arm hurt but not as bad. His mother and father sit next to him both asleep. But something was wrong. He could feel it. He spotted some crutches and with much difficulty got to them without wakeing his parents. Quietly leaving the mediacl room the first place he went was Lilac's room. Opening the door he nearly fell. The room was burnt and black and Lilac wasent in her bed. Something was wrong. He got his crutches and the first place he thought to go was to Robin. No he had to find Lilac now and didn't have that kind of time. He thought about it and made his way to the roof. Opening the roof's door he saw her laying there and droped teh crutches. He ignored his leg and ran to her hugging her tightly against him.

"Lilac, LILAC WAKE UP PLEASE!!" he yelled out not realizing she was only asleep. Her eyes fluttered open and she felt herself being hugged. She knew it was him immediatly.
When he saw she was awake he hugged her tighter adn nearly started crying. Lilac remembered what had happened but wasent as scared anymore. As they released each other Lilac realized Apollo was stil hurt but only smiled. SHe could use her powers now without being afraid. She pulled back from him and placed her hands on his legs and pressed.
Apollo excpected to feel pain but all of it went away. SHe had healed him. As she sat back down she leaned against him and started telling him the long story about all that had happened. When she was finally done the sun was about to rise and they thought they should get back inside. As they headed for the door Apollo stopped and hugged Lilac against him. He tipped her head up and brought his lips to hers. Her lips burned with pleasure but fear did not rise only love.

"I love you Lilac." he said gently.

"I love you too." she replied and together they went inside.
