I Told You
The next day she went to Darjeeling's house. Flying slowly above the city. She was upset that she couldn't get anywhere in talking to Robin. Her ideas weren't any good. She landed by Darjeeling's door and knocked a few times. Starfire kicked some pebbles off Darjeeling's trail to the door. Then she saw a blue fire figure pop up and it immediately turned into Darjeeling. Darjeeling opened the door and she led Starfire in. She turned to Starfire, "I've heard and I've seen you try to talk to Robin." Starfire could see the red water swishing like the ocean in Darjeeling's eyes.
"Yes, but you did not tell me that I could not tell someone to tell Robin my feelings," Starfire looked down at the cracked floors.
"Yes I know, it's the same reason I give you; for him to hate you more," Darjeeling smiled at her wickedly.
"Why did my friend say a cuss word to Robin?"
"I told you my dear, the nicer the crueler. You told her to say something nice to Robin, it came out cruel, but she didn't know." Darjeeling told her.
Starfire looked at the pot and the steam coming out of it. She understood that her friends weren't any good either. She knew Raven said something nice, but Beast boy heard it wrong. She hated being under this curse. She wanted to get rid of it. She couldn't be selfish and break the curse and her friends would be…dead.
"You only have four more days, did you know that my dear?" Darjeeling started. Starfire nodded, "Well dear, you better be off," and with that Darjeeling threw water at Starfire and Starfire vanished.
Starfire landed in her bedroom with a thud on her bed. She looked around her room; she hoped no one would open the door to see what happened, especially Robin. Nothing would help to talk to Robin, it always came out cruel. She got up slowly, hair trying to keep up with her head. She needed four more days. Just four, until the curse was broken, but Robin still had to like her, no matter how cruel she was.
She went out of her room and went to the bathroom, she just wanted to wash her face and get rid of Darjeeling's scent, the scent of burning fire wood. She looked at herself in the mirror, she was the nicest girl, but Darjeeling was ruining it. Starfire felt hopeless. She got out of the bathroom and went into the living room. She saw only Robin there, she quickly turned around, but he saw her, "Starfire, we need to talk,"
Starfire slowly walked to the couch where he sat. She sat down still looking at him. He looked at her kind of angry.
"What's going on with you?" Robin started.
I'm under a curse, she thought.
"Why are you being so mean to me and only me?" Robin asked.
Darjeeling's doing it, she thought answering more of his questions.
"Do you have anything to say?" Robin continued.
Yes, she kept thinking. She shrugged at him and shook her head. Robin got up and walked out of the room.
That went well, better than the other few times, she thought happily.
