From Within the Shadows of My Heart

From within the shadows of my heart

Lies a part

That will forever be in the dark

You took my soul and broke it in two

And now it is my turn to say unto you:

I have changed

There is no doubt

But this loneliness

Will forever float about

What you said hurt me that day

Much to my dismay

You were my love

And I your light from above

But you've turned my light out

Now there is a shadow on my heart

It was once your part

I shall now forever cry

But I will love you until I die

Chapter 1: Twilight

"Yo, c'mon Marty!" the tall masked figure yelled.

" Man, I'm runnin as fast as I can. Why don't you help me and carry one of these bags." the second mask figure who was behind the first yelled. He was shorter then the first and was carrying five black bags full of money.

The two men ran as fast as they could through the alleys of New York City. They had just robbed Westland Bank and where running before the cops showed up.

"Frank , dude I think we lost them!" the figure known as Marty said to the taller who was apparently Frank.

" Seriously Frank I need your help!" Marty huffed.

Frank sighed, "Now Marty you were the one who wanted to carry the damn bags while I drove. So you carrying them!" Marty muttered a few cruse words under his breath. Both men kept walking oblivious to the figure that followed them.

They came to a spot and stopped. Frank looked around confused. "I swear I left the car here! Where did the hell did it go?"

Marty looked and Frank with anger. " You lost the damn car? How do you lose a car?"

" Now, now, now don't blame. He's right. He did park the car there. I was the one who trashed it and then had it towed." A sexy mysterious voice said from behind them.

Both men gulped. They had been caught. They turned to see a figure of a woman. She was wearing black high heel boots that were covered by black leather pants. She wore a leather halter top with two inch straps. A black leather jacket covered her top. On her neck she wore a black choker. Her hair was in wide curls that went down to her shoulders. But the thing both men noticed the most were her jade green eyes and slightly tanned skin. She was different normal women. She was sexier than normal women.

A smile came over Franks face. " Well lookie here Marty we've been caught by a pretty lady."

Marty smiled too. " Guess we have Frank. Hey cutie why don't you come over here and chain us up and spank us cause we've been naughty." Both men laughed.

The woman just smiled and put her hands on her hips. " Now I do agree you two have been naughty. But when I tie up …I'm taking you to jail."

The two men stepped forward. Both took out guns.

"You're cute but no way in hell are you takin me to jail!" Frank yelled and the two men started firing.

As if in slow motion the woman bent backwards and did a flip avoiding their shots.

She landed gracefully. "That was pathetic! And now…you're out of bullets." The two men looked at their guns. She was right they were out of bullets.

The woman pulled out two short metal poles and twirled them in her fingers.

" Look Frank she's going to get us with a broken bo-staff."

" C'mon Marty!" Frank yelled as they started charging her. They were about to hit her when she ducked. Instead of hitting her they hit each other in the faces. Then in one swift move she stood and hit them both in the faces each with a metal pole. Before they could retaliate she hit them both on the back of their necks. They fell to the ground unconscious.

The woman looked down and smiled. "Yeah I am going to get you with a broken bo-staff."

She reached down into her boot and pulled out a cell phone. She dialed a number and a woman answered.

"NYPD hotline. How my I help you?"

" Hi there. This is just a concerned citizen calling to say that there are two robbers here that are all tied up and ready to go. You can send the cars to the alley at the corner of 5th and 3rd . You have a goodnight." Then she hung up. The woman was about to put the cell phone back into boot when it rang.

She answered it. "Hello?"

" Kori Anders!" the voice of Lana her friend and co-worker at Doceys Market said from the other end. "Where the hell are you? My shift was up 20 minutes ago. You were supposed to be here!"

" Shit! I am so sorry. Just something came up and----"

" Now you're done with the bad guys and you're going to get here right now. I know the drill." Lana said as she finished Kori's sentence.

" I'll be there." said woman or Kori said as she hung up. She looked down the street and the lights of police cars flashed.

She kicked Frank and he moaned his eyes still closed. " Have a great time in prison guys." She turned and got on a motorcycle that had been hidden. She started it and drove to work.

- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The red motorcycle pulled up on the side of Doceys Market. Doceys was an old Market on the corner of 10th and 9th .It was a small local market that the owner, Mr. Docey has owned since 1959.

The motorcycle stopped and Kori got off. Making sure no one saw her she quickly went up the stairs on the side of the building. She quickly opened the door and stepped inside. She turned on the light. This was the apartment she had lived in for four years now. It was a cozy one bedroom. When you stepped inside on your right was the living room and on your left was a small kitchen. Off the living room was a small hallway with a bathroom and some cupboards. At the end of the hall way was a bedroom.

Kori walked into her room. She took off her jacket and flung it on a chair that was in the corner. After taking off her suit she opened up the wall. There was a secret closet in her bedroom which no one but her knew about.

The hidden closet was small. It had a little self and a wooden pole were clothes could be hanged. She hung up her suit next to a purple skirt and halter top, her old suit, back when she was Starfire. On the small self was a picture of five teens. She stood in the middle next to Cyborg and Robin. She was smiling at the camera holding up her fingers so they formed a peace sign. These things were what was left of her past. She wanted to forget it.

Foolish girl. So unaware of what was going to happen. Kori thought to herself. She slammed the door to the closet. She clamed herself down. This was one of the times where she was glad she had lost her powers or else she would've blown something up with a star bolt. She went over to her drawer. She quickly took out blue hip huggers and a white t-shirt that slightly showed her midriff. She put her curled hair into a loose pony-tail. She slipped on white vans and then put on her glasses.

She didn't need glasses. But they made her look smarter, not that she was stupid. You see there are two sides of Kori. There's Kori Anders. Kori Anders speaks with a soft, sweet voice. She was sweet, innocent, sometimes clumsy, and wouldn't hurt a fly. Kori was caring and loving. She would do anything to help someone else out. She worked Doceys Market and had made friends with a bunch of local neighbors.

But at night Kori took off this appearance. She dawned on a leather suit. At this time she became Twilight, one of the many superheroes of New York City. Twilight jumped from roof to roof looking for any signs of trouble. Twilight spoke with a sexy and hard voice. Twilight was sexy, mysterious, at times showed no mercy, kicks bad guy ass, performs dangerous stunts, and takes great chances. Twilight isn't afraid of anything. And she often finds herself in arms of Daredevil (one of the changes sorry) , another superhero of New York who took justice into his own hands, sometimes using drastic measures. They didn't know each others identities. Sometimes they would met after fighting crime and always fall passionately into each others arms. But by morning when the other woke the other one would be gone. It wasn't love, no both of their hearts belonged to someone else. But they were more than just friends. That is the way of secret relationships or affairs… if this would be called either. But in both personalities Kori changed from when she was a Titan.

Kori went downstairs and walked into the store. Behind the counter a African American woman stood.

" Hey Lana." Kori as she walked in.

The woman behind the counter looked up. " Kor you are now 45 minutes late." Lana said while closing her book and grabbing her purse. " You know, for someone who lives upstairs you're always late. Lucky for you it's slow at this time of night. I don't even know why were open this late."

Lana Smith was Kori's best friend. And Lana was the only person who knew Kori was Twilight. Lana helped Kori along sometimes and covered for her. But she didn't know that Kori used to be a Titan.

"Lana I'm so sorry. There was a disturbance and I---"

" Had to take care of it." Lana finished. " Listen being a superhero is noble and all ,but you don't have to do it all the time."

" I know. It's just that I want to . I need to. I'm able to help people so I do." Kori said with a half-smile.

"Yeah, well you need to get sleep girl. You look tired. When was the last time you got some sleep?" Lana asked in concern.

" Hmmmmm…. Well I think Sunday night."

"Kor it's Tuesday night now. Listen you work till 6:00am and you have a day off tomorrow. It's 2:00am now. As soon as you're done go upstairs and sleep." Lana said sternly.

"Yes, mommy." Kori said in a babyish voice.

" I'm serious." Lana said without smiling.

" Okay. I promise I'll sleep."

" Great. Now how's that boyfriend of yours?" Lana winked.

" He's not my boyfriend."

Lana now stood by Kori at the door. "Maybe you both should try it though. You've already slept together now you can establish a relationship. You know the thing were two people know who they are and go out on dates. Plus from the way you describe him "DD" sounds hot."

" He is. But falling in love with people in this "business" is dangerous . Believe me." Kori said looking down.

" You know being in any relationship is dangerous, for anyone. You have to take a chance. You take chances all the time jumping off roofs and getting shot at. Why can't you take this one?" Kori silent. Lana was going to ask more, but decided not to because it probably dealt with her past. Lana knew Kori didn't like to talk about her past. " Your decision. I gotta go, see you tomorrow. And please get some sleep."

" I will. Goodnight." Kori said waving goodbye. She watched as Lana got into her car and drove off.

Kori walked behind the counter and turned on the news. It was a re-run of the 11:00pm news. Bonnie Hunt and John Walters were on tonight. Kori turned it up.

" In further news," Bonnie said, " Jump City's Titans have lost another member. Earlier today Super Girl left the Titans. When asked about the reason for her departure both the Titans and Super Girl said no comment. Super Girl now has joined the Justice League. John what are your thoughts on this matter?"

" Well Bonnie," the camera now turned to John, " as we all know four years ago Starfire, an other Titan, also left the team for reasons that weren't explained. Now Super Girl has also left. I would definitely say the Titans are having some problems with teamwork. Also---"

Kori turned it off. She knew the reason why, Starfire, (herself) left. But didn't know why Super Girl did nor did she care. She hated Robin and Super Girl most of all.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was now 6:00am. Kori stumbled into her apartment. She threw herself on her bed. Then she looked at the hidden closet. She stood up and went over to it.

Kori opened it and took out the picture of her with the Titans. She remembered what happened after Super Girl came.

Kori grew angry just looking at the picture. "Damn it!!" she yelled and threw the picture against the wall. The frame shattered into picies and fell to the ground.

Kori fell on the bed holding her head in her hands crying. She finally cried herself to sleep.
