Chapter 5: Burning desires
At the evening worship when the empress was telling them to get down on their knees and praise her. A girl stood up. She had red-blond hair, clear blue eyes, and many freckles.
"I said bow down, or are you deaf?" the empress called enraged
"And I'm saying NO!" the girl shot back
"Guards bring the hot iron plate!" the empress screeched
The empress took the iron plate and drew nearer and nearer towards the girl who neither backed away nor lost the hard as flint look in her eyes. The empress touched the scolding metal to her skin, but she didn't whine or flinch.
"Now do you dare contradict your ruler" the empress hissed in the girl's ear,
"Yea" the girl said smiling unaware of the pain in her arm "you say we are free, but this is truly prison, and I for one would rather die than live here"
"Holly!" another girl cried out in alarm "Don't!!!"
"Seriously sis just do what she says" a male voice said
"shut-up you miserable excuse for family" Holly snapped at her sister and brother.
"You don't mean that..." The other girl, Hope, muttered weakly
"You." Holly said "your too timid. Too weak. You'll never amount to anything if you just lie low all your life. I for one have to make a stand and a difference. Dad would be proud of me"
"Holly I don't know if you know this, but dad's dead!" her brother, Pat, said
"Ah" hissed the empress "so you're the daughter of the fool I killed, and if you truly wish to follow in his footsteps I'd be glad to send you there."
'I know she's in one of her rage moods, but she better chill soon or it's not going to be pretty' Hope thought
The guards brought out a small cage and a ton of wood. Gently they placed the wood in a big pit near the edge of town. As they were lighting the fire Mr. Brancamp came running down the path and he ran right into Mr. Avalon and both of them went flying right into the fire pit. They tried to shove Holly into the small cage, but she kicked them and ran.
"Guards follow her!" The empress screeched
They gave a good chase, but the girl was quicker and she hopped over the rusty, brick wall.
"Freedom!" Holly cried joviality
They stopped at the empress command
"She'll come back, they always do" Snorted the empress heading back to the arena.
"um I have to use the bathroom" Robin said to a guard on the west side
"uh sure but be back soon." The guard said
Starfire snuck out too and followed robin right to the empress's door.
Inside was a beautifully furnished home which was more like a mansion. They walked around in astonishment searching for any clues of any sort. They found a small book which looked to be handwritten in a looping, fancy, almost unreadable cursive. Robin managed to read the words: reversing is almost impossible, can only be done by the golden tears of the blackbird.
This seemed to be one of the many items that the empress confincated.
"where are these tears?" Starfire asked
"I don't know but we'll find them soon, I hope" Robin said as they quickly darted out of the mansion.
They walked down the path to their house and words kept running through Robins head.
'I have to ask her' the first part of his head argued
'she's going to say no I know it' his other side put in
'how do you know?' side 1 put in
'I'm smarter' side 2 said
'we're the same person!' (1)
'what's your point?' (2)
'I'm going to ask her' (1)
'I'd like to see that happen' (2)
'it will, just watch' (1)
out of his head:
"hey um...Starfire I was kinda wondering, if you know...um if you would consider marrying me" Robin stuttered
"Robin I......
