Hiya Peoples,
Third chapter up! In case you haven't noticed I have been posting them at the end of every week. So just to keep my reviewers updated.
Enjoy!
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos. Azerath Metrion Zinthos."
The familiar chant cut through the air destroying chaos, destroying noise, destroying hate.
But also, destroying love, happiness, joy. Destroying emotion. But they needed to be controlled. They needed to be hidden, only to be let out under one circumstance. The destruction of the demon inside her. Her father.
Robin had unknowingly helped her father get closer to achieving his task of destroying the world. He had let out happiness. He had let out joy. And he had unknowingly let out the most dangerous emotion of all. Love.
The serenity of the roof had always helped Raven get her emotions under control easily. But now everything had a different effect. Today it took all the concentration she could muster to control one little emotion. And yet, it wouldn't go away. She wanted to tell him but she couldn't. She would need a miracle to get the chance to tell him. Yet she knew. That it was just a fantasy. A fairy-tale.
The pounding of footsteps broke her from her meditation. Robin sat beside her and watched the sunset without saying a word. Raven desperately tried to ignore him but she knew that he had to be out here for a reason. He had a reason for everything. That's when curiosity got the better of her.
"Yes?"
"I still haven't shown you that movie," he answered not taking his eyes off the horizon.
That song. He had remembered it and now it had come back to haunt her. But why? That was almost a week ago.
"Hm. What was it about again?"
"A prince. When an old lady comes to his castle and asks for shelter with nothing to offer but a rose, he turns her away. It is actually an enchantress and she turns him into a beast because he was uncaring."
"That's it?" she looked at him out of the corner of her eye and he shook his head.
"A girl comes to his
castle and tries to help him but he's mean to her and puts her in
the dungeon."
"What happens at the then?"
He smiled. "You'll have to watch it. It's a good fairy-tale."
"I don't like fairy-tales."
Robin finally turned to her. "You've never believed in a fairy-tale?"
"No."
"You don't believe
in fairies?"
"No."
"Enchantresses?"
"No."
"Aliens?"
"Kinda have to. Starfire's one."
"Darn it. Thought I had you fooled. Unicorns?"
"No."
"I know! What about true love's first kiss?"
She sighed deeply. "No."
"What about wishing upon a star?"
"No. I've never done that."
He pointed up to a brightest star. "Make a wish."
"Robin, you sound like a little kid."
"Really? Thanks."
"It wasn't meant as a complement."
"I took it as one," he smiled at Raven's scoff, "Now make a wish."
"No. It's pointless to fantasize on objects that are billions of miles away."
"I'm not going to leave until you do."
Really? Actually she wanted him to stay.
"I'm not going to do it."
A stern look appeared on Robin's face. "Well, if you don't make a wish I might just have to kick you off this team."
He wouldn't do that. But when she looked at him, he had the most serious face she'd ever seen. It was only a stupid wish.
"Fine." Raven closed her eyes in thought. 'I wish…'
When she opened them, a small smile was on her face.
"What did you wish for?"
"I can't tell you or else it won't come true."
A grin appeared on Robin's face. "So you do believe on wishing upon a star."
Stood up and started to leave.
"Only that part."
"Do you think it will come true? You know. Your wish."
She was stopped and was silent. Robin looked at her slyly.
"Was it about someone?"
She froze. Could he have known? Could he have somehow used his amazing detective skills to figure out? Could she have somehow unknowingly told him? Or maybe, Raven hoped, maybe he was just trying to get her to talk about her wish. She wasn't falling for that.
"No," she lied.
"I think your lying."
Raven looked straight at him. "Are you calling me a liar?"
"I'm just thinking that you're not telling to truth."
Raven's mind scrambled through the logical explanations of why Robin would know such a thing but she couldn't find any.
"Why would you think that?"
"Because your cheeks are flushed and you keep fiddling around with your cloak."
Out of habit, Raven pulled her hood above her head and her hands fell to her sides.
"So it was about someone."
Panic. A cable exploded.
"Anyone I know?"
Dread. Another cable shattered sending sparks in the air.
"N-no."
"Are you sure? Because you just admitted you were lying."
"Robin it isn't you!"
Robin smiled. "I never said it was me."
He could see the blush even with her hood on.
"G-good. Because it's not."
"Oh, it's someone else? Beastboy? Cyborg?"
"No," she growled, "I don't have time for this."
As she got to the door Robin asked one more question.
"You never answered me. Do you think your wish will come true?"
"I certainly hope so."
A/N: If you haven't noticed most of my stories are from Disney who I thank for letting me use. (And which someday I will own. I'm saving up!)
Again, thanks to my reviewers or I would be alone in a straightjacket on an island off the coast of Denver.
Reggie Tuesday-anything for a fan. Yes time is a good thing but it gets boring after a while
Ainominako-Um…sorry? I didn't want to dwell on that fact the Raven almost died. I'm not really a depressing person so I wanted to get to a happier mood.
