Beast Boy crept down the rickety stairs, getting closer to the light source. His nostrils filled with the scent of old books, candles, and dust. The stairs turned and the hallway opened into an enormous room. Wind blew through the broken windows. Beast boy walked slowly into the room, gazing at the thousands of books stacked up to the ceiling. He assumed he was in the storage room of the library, where all unused or banned books were kept. He passed crates with text on them from foreign lands. In the middle of the room glowed six or seven candles. Around the candles were a dozen or so book lying open. A few feet away a couple tattered blankets lay on the floor in what seemed like a make shift bed. "Does she live here?" thought Beast boy. Directly beside the "bed" was the one thing that seemed out of place, A chest. It as small, about a foot long, the wood it was made from shone a deep blood red, and it was clasped shut with a large gold lock. Beast Boy knelt down to inspect the chest more closely when suddenly there was the sound of fast moving cloth and quick feet. Before he could even turn around he was knocked across the room by a foot to his back. He was slammed into a large crate and lay in a mass on the floor. He slowly rose until he was on his hands knees, gasping. He looked over and saw glowing white eyes and hands sparking with electricity in the shadows of the room.
" Why did you follow me!" She snarled " Answer me now!" With this she emerged from the darkness and stood before Beast Boy.
She was no longer wearing the tattered cloak, and Beast boy lifted his eyes from her feet to her face. She wore black tight shoes over her rather large feet. She had on baggy black cargo pants with several patches and holes. Through the holes he saw the pale blue skin of her legs. Her torso was very thin, her ribs easily visible. A worn white t-shirt clung to her tiny frame and her arms hung to her sides. Her upper arms appeared to be tattooed. Her hands were in gloves with the finger cut off, revealing the razor sharp white claws on the end of each finger. The fingers sparked and snapped, glowing an eerie blue.
Around her neck hung a glowing blue ball, the swirling light mesmerized Beast Boy for a second , that is until he saw her face. Her face was a power blue, and her eyes no longer glowed white, revealing eyes of the lightest blue. Her hair was long, thick and wavy, shining a brilliant white. Barely protruding from her hair were two, blue pointed ears. She stood before Beast boy with a look of anger in her eyes, but after a few moments her eyes softened and her hands stopped sparking. She knelt down and helped Beast Boy to his knees. Beast Boy peered at arms that were helping up. The markings he at first took to be tattoos were actually deep scars. He tore his eyes away from the scars and stared into her face. Her eyes were now filled with concern and she finally spoke again.
" I am sorry, did I hurt you?"
" No, I'm ok. Look I didn't mean to startle you, I....well ... I wanted to find you..to ask you.." Beast boy stammered. She lay one of her blue fingers on his lips. Then she actually smiled and looked warmly in his eyes.
" You wanted to know what I am and why I was on that rooftop tonight" She sadly, "Well you came all this way I guess I might as well tell you. What do you want to know first?" Beast Boy thought her she sounded defeated, but he had to know about her, he had to know her.
" Well" He said as he moved into a cross-legged position, and faced her " Umm...what are you, what's your name?" He said starring into her downward cast eyes.
She took a deep breath and lifted her eyes to his." I am Taloni, and I am the last Siren."
