The next day was interrupted by Mubo, who had just robbed a bank.
"Titans! Let's go!" Robin shouted, running to the door. Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg were right behind him.
"Blueflame? Are you coming?" Starfire asked her friend. "No thanks, Starfire," the blue-haired girl answered. "I don't want to get in the way."
"You won't get in the w--" Starfire started. "No, really. It's okay. Go stop the bad guy," Blueflame smiled.
Starfire sighed. "Alright," she said reluctantly and flew out the door.
Blueflame watched as the Titans hurried into the city and out of view. Then she pricked up her ears. There was a scuffling sound coming from outside. Blueflame got up off the couch and walked over to the door. She opened it, much to the surprise of the creature outside. It was about an inch taller than her and had dark red skin, like magma and volcanic ash. Two ebony horns topped its demon-like head and and its body was striped with random designs of obsidian. It had a long tail with with an arrowheaded tip and sharp, curved black claws on its fingers. Two hooves completed its infernal appearance. Blueflame's eyes narrowed. "What are you doing here, Xof?" she asked coldly. The creature spoke in hars, gutteral tones: "The master asks if you still refuse. If so, he says to be prepared for death." Blueflame crossed her arms. "Hmph. What do you think?"
"I think you should consider accepting," Xof replied, casually examining his claws. "It would save you a lot of pain."
Blueflame smirked. "I doubt that," she said. "Tell Zephro the answer's still 'no' and will always be 'no'." She slammed the door.
Xof turned around with a hideous grin on his demonic face. "The master expected you to say that, Blueflame. Now the fun begins." Hisa grin widened as he disappeared in a cloud of red mist.
The Titans came back not long afterward to find Blueflame staring out the window. When she heard them coming, she turned around, smiling. "So," she said. "Have fun?"
Beast Bot laughed. "You bet," he said.
Cyborg looked at the refrigderator. "Hmmm. I'm hungry." He started making himself something to eat.
Starfire stood next to her friend as the sun went down, bathing the city in red and orange light. "It's beautiful, is it not?" she asked.
"Mmmm."
Starfire turned to Blueflame. "Is there something troubling you, my friend?"
"What? No. Nothing at all, Starfire. I'm fine."
Starfire looked doubtful, but didn't say anymore. Raven, however, could tell something WAS wrong. And she was going to find out what.
So? is it long enough? Tell me in your reviews!
