Hey, Delof Dani! I really appreciate your faithful reading. (Sniff!) It's readers like you that keep me posting! You rock! (Tosses you rainbow roses) Please encourage others to read me, too, even though it's only almost Halloween. Hee, hee! Once the whole thing's up though, it'll all make sense.
Chapter 6: Daniel's aide
"You what?!" Daniel whispered 10 minutes later. Lina was kneeling on his bed in front of him, excited at her discovery. Daniel still had one eye squinted shut. Lina excitedly repeated her whispering answer.
"I found Terra! The girl who was with the Titans and with (cough) Slade; the statue girl in the volcano! She's been coming to me in my dreams, and she needs your help, 'cause you're the only one who can, and I found her!"
Daniel looked at his clock radio and said, "It's one a.m., sis."
(Sweatdrop) "Yes," replied Lina, "I realize that." Daniel leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees and said
"And you followed Beast Boy downtown at the ungodliest of hours to find the statue of a Titan who came to your subconscious to seek your help, is that about the size of it?"
"Well, yeah," she answered matter-of-factly, "Except, I can't free her from petrified state, because I don't have that kind of power. I'm not as advanced as you. Danny," she grabbed his hand as she pled, "Terra needs your help. She wants out. She's all alone, and she misses the Titans. You're the only one who can free her. Will you do it?"
"You know I help people, Lina," said Daniel, "but I'd have to talk to her first, and we don't know if the Titans are ready to take her back."
"Robin said they'd find a way to free her, Daniel," said Lina, "and you're it. You're her only hope. Come with me to her; she's downtown, and you can talk to her there."
"Now?" asked Daniel.
"Dan!" whispered Merlina, "This is a girl's life we're talking about! She came to me and asked for help. She called for help from her heart, and found me...us. We have to help her, Danny, and we have to help her now."
Daniel looked intently at his little sister. Her kind heart truly knew no limits, and certainly didn't stop with the injured critters she brought home when they were little. Heck, Umbra was found as a newborn kitten near her dead mother.
Daniel smiled at Merlina, stood on his bed, put his hands forward over his head on the wall, and brought them down on each side, making a circle of light on said wall, which made a portal to the outside. He then got his wand and made an orange cloud. He stepped on it and helped Lina step on. Daniel directed the cloud downtown without making a sound. As they did, it silently and softly started to snow.
Keep reviewing, y'all! I know it's a little short, but keep reading! It gets better! ;)
