Chapter Four
Raven had seen Starfire carried past her room and quickly walked down to Starfires room and stepped over the wrecked door. Starfires room was dark except for one open window that was letting light in. She looked around the room and thought about where to search first. She walked to the bed and looked under the pillows and under the mattress. She looked in of the drawers of the Starfires cabinet, and on top of each shelf.
'If Starfire did have it' Raven thought to herself. 'She really didn't want anyone to find it.' Raven walked to the folding doors that led to Starfires closet. She opened them and switched on a light. The small room was large, holding two boudoirs and three long racks of clothes.
'For a girl with so many clothes, you'd think she'd change outfits,' Raven thought to herself, shaking her head and wanting to laugh. On the floor was a basket of folded clothes and a chest.
Raven walked to the chest and opened the latch. Inside was a stack of pictures and a pink floral box. Letting curiosity take over, Raven picked up a handful of the pictures and looked through them.
A few were from the days when Cyborg was still teaching Starfire how to use a camera, there were many blurry shots of trees and Titan Tower. At the bottom of the handful were clear, focused pictures of the Titans themselves. There was one of Cyborg and Beastboy standing face-to-face and yelling at each other while Robin stood laughing in a corner, this picture was obviously taken right after one of the boy's video game championships. There was one of Raven and Beastboy as they sat at the table eating breakfast. Then there was picture of Robin, smiling fondly back at the girl taking a picture. Then there was another of Robin at the beach skipping stones across the waters surface. And another of Robin laughing and trying to take the camera away from Starfire. As Raven looked through the entire bottom half of the handful, it was nothing but pictures of Robin. She stared oddly at the photographs and placed them back into the chest. As she was about to close the lid, curiosity again took over and she took out the pink floral box.
Inside was a dried rose. Raven recognized it from the night Robin had to take an evil masterminds daughter, Kitten, to the prom. Next to the rose was an envelope with the words 'Day at the beach' written across it. Inside was a pinch of sand and a beautiful orange shell. The Titans had gone to the beach during the summer and Robin and Starfire had spent most of it together, gathering seashells. Next to that was a small jar. Through the glass, Raven saw a dying purple flame bobbing in midair. She stared curiosly at the flame and replaced it in the box. With that she closed the lid. She pushed the chest to where it had originally been and left the closet.
'So Starfire has a thing for the Boy Wonder, who could have seen that coming?" Raven thought sarcastically. She crossed that room and left Starfires room.
