And suddenly- CRASH! BOOM!
Starfire POV:
"EEEEEEEEKKK!" I screamed as I shot starbolts to an army of shadows coming slowly towards me.
"ROBIN! PLEASE ASSIST ME!" I cry out and quickly glance at him; he was fighting a bunch of the shadow people too. All of a sudden, a voice was heard from inside the large army of shadows and they stopped attacking us
"Give us Lady Jayda!"
Elecktra's POV:
"No… this can't be happening… he can't be here…" I whisper to myself.
"Give us Lady Jayda or ELSE!"
"No. No! NO!" I cried out, clutching my head, it hurts, it hurts a lot. I ripped off my necklace, leaving a small slit of blood on my neck, ready to put on my ring, the ring that kept my powers hidden when I'm not wearing it.
"Who is Lady Jayda?" Robin asked looking at me for a second, then back at the army.
"This can't be happening!" I thought
"Do not try to joke, or else they shall die!" a voice said and one of it's shadow arms grabbed Aqualad and another grabbed Beastboy.
"NO! Don't! Um… I'll go get her!" I said quickly staring at Beastboy and Aqualad struggling but failing miserably.
"You know her? Where is she?" Robin asked me, looking dead into my eyes
"She's right here" I said softly and pushed him away. Then I slipped on my ring.
Robin's POV:
She slipped on a ring and a bright flash came about her. I shielded my eyes until the light faded then looked up. I saw Elecktra but she was wearing a black and grey flowing dress but something felt different about her, she also had an aura glowing around her.
"What was that bright light?" I thought
"No. It can't be! She can't be…" I heard Raven say and looked at her puzzled.
"That's Lady Jayda! The princess of the invisible world of Magick! I read her in all of my books! She's really powerful and read the Galeon scrolls and once time traveled when she was eight to become a secret apprentice to Merlin!" Raven explained excitingly.
"Whoa…" Beastboy said after overhearing Raven's explanation. I just stood there staring at her. She was walking up to the army, looking a bit to the left. I looked closer and saw a human with blue hair and dark grey eyes.
Titan's POV:
"So we meet again…" Lucifer said, smiling evilly.
"What are you doing here?" yelled Elecktra
"Just trying to find you, and I have found you in this… this place" he replied evilly and disgustingly
"I like it here!" Elecktra retorted, her eyes began to flash bright white.
"Calm down! See, we let go your little friends, but are they really your friends? Do they even know you?" Lucifer said, using her weakness
"Of course!" she cried, ready to fight.
"I'm sure they won't like you if they find out what you did or why you kept it from them." he continued, smiling.
"This was easier than I thought" he thought.
"No! You're lying! They wouldn't! They couldn't!"
"They would. They could. But I have to go now, tell your auntie I said hi" and with that, he disappeared into the shadows.
Elecktra felt exploited, nothing to hide her. Her eyes returned to their emerald green color, her hands fading back to normal. She reverted to her original uniform/ costume without taking off the ring and jetted home without saying a word.
Elecktra's POV:
"What's the use of taking off my ring? They already know me. He showed off who I am. He showed off ME. I can't believe he's here, she said I would be safe here but I'm not. Not anymore." Elecktra thought as she went to her room and pulled out a small black notebook. It was her notebook, not a journal, but like a thought book.
She wrote,
Surrounding me,
a prison,
can't get out,
don't have the key.
A fog,
wall of ice,
keeping me in,
keeping you out.
Force fields,
a prison,
no keys,
just darkness.
Leave me,
alone,
get out,
leave me in my darkness.
A lock,
can't be broken,
can't get out,
can't be me.
Can't be
who I am,
who I want to be,
who I can be,
can't be me…
She always felt better after writing something. Then something clicked in her mind,
"Shit! I forgot my car! I hope some one can drive it home." she thought angry with herself. She turned to an old page in the notebook, the first page.
It read,
Running away,
keeping secrets,
thoughts,
from me.
Run away,
from here,
from this darkness,
from me.
Tears of blood,
fall,
turning black,
as black as my heart.
A silver glint,
turns red,
a peach skin,
turns red.
Tears,
fall,
black ones,
from my eyes.
Red,
are my eyes,
are my wrists,
blood.
Red,
as tears,
tears from the
heart.
Drops of
red,
staining my heart,
turning it black.
Black,
is the darkness,
is my life,
Dark.
Black,
red,
dark,
blood.
Red tears,
trickles out,
falling,
always falling,
into the black.
"Black and red, my favorite colors." she smiled at the weathered paper and fingered it lightly when her cell phone began to ring.
"Agh!" she yelled out in surprised and grabbed the phone and flipped it open.
"Hello?"
In Titan's Tower:
"Elecktra? We have to talk. Yes we do. What happen at the club? Who was that guy? Why did you run off? Are you all right?" Robin yelled into the phone anxiously.
"Let me talk to her!" Aqualad said and grabbed the phone from him.
"Elecktra? Are you ok? If you want anyone to talk to, I'll always be there for you. What? Um, those are really weird directions… no offense. (pause) Ok, ok! We'll meet you there. Bye."
"Well you guys, I have to go! Bye!" and Aqualad ran out of the tower, throwing the cell phone back to Robin.
"I'm coming too." Raven said dryly as she glided beside him out the door.
Aqualad shrugged "Elecktra wanted you to come anyway"
"I know. Why didn't you tell me?"
"She told me you would just read her mind."
"Oh."
"FREEZE! NO ONE IS LEAVING UNTIL I KNOW HERE YOU TWO ARE GOING!" Robin yelled so forceful and determined that everyone stopped what they were doing.
"We're going out… on a date." Raven replied calmly while Aqualad gave her a are-you-crazy look.
Robin was not falling for it, he knew Raven would never say that even if they were going out on a date.
"Ha ha. Very funny, a riot." he replied dryly
"Well, got to go." she said monotonously and grabbed Aqualad's arm and slid into the ground with a black aura surrounding them.
"I hate it when she does that" the boy wonder muttered to himself.
"Cheer up Robin! I shall make you some pudding and sing you a poem!" Starfire chirped
"No thanks, Star. I'll be in my room" and he walked off.
"Well… who's up for a game of Hyper Jetrix Platinum edition?" Cyborg asked
"Me!" Beastboy and Speedy cried out and raced to the couch, controllers in hand, ready to go while Starfire started adding zorka berries into her pudding, Silkie was helping her, testing the pudding.
Robin's POV:
"What happened at the club? Does she even like me? I guess not, she didn't invite me over. I guess I'll give up on her, it's clear she likes Aqualad. But I don't like Starfire anymore! I'll just stay single, like Bruce, vowing to never fall in love." I thought as I lied on my bed, a bit depressed.
"I better go train, I never saw the point of lying around doing nothing, or maybe I'll go play some video games with Cyborg, Speedy, and Beastboy." he thought, trying to cheer himself up.
Agh! Major writer's block! I think i'm losing the special touch! this chapter get's a bit more depressing and an insider on who Elecktra really is.
Thanks to the Aceman and fatesirony for reviewing and giving me some advice!
Oh yeah I HAVE CHANGED THE TITLE! Now it's Black and Red but if you type in A Change in the Wind, it'll show you the new title. Sorry if confusing! And the skip a line after every verse for the poem isn't working so yeah...
The last chapter and this chapter are sort of short but that's because i have to think on what should happen...Please review!
