Okay, this is really, really, really, really short and I am so, so, so, so, so, sorry! I couldn't think of anything else to put in. I'm soooooorrrrrryyyy! (EveningCatMoon bursts into tears.)
NothingButWolves- I really do hope we get together sometime. It'd be fun.
BlackCatOfDoom- That's nice. Does this mean you don't like The Raven's Flock at all?
Disclaimer: I own Celesti and Shadow. Oh, wait, I don't think that's the point of a disclaimer…I don't own Teen Titans!
Knock, knock, knock. At the sound of a knock at the door, I tumbled off the bed in a fighting position.
Then I remembered where I was. I stretched, not bothering with how I looked, and opened the door. Robin stood there, fist out stretched to knock again. I stared at him. After a moment, he cleared his throat and put his hand back at his side. "We'd like you to come to the main room, Celesti." I blinked and shut the door in his face. Then I took my sweet time in brushing my long black hair and pulling it into a ponytail.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK. "Celesti! Are you coming or not?" I opened the door and glared down at him. It amused me that I was taller than Starfire and Cyborg, the tallest ones in the group.
"I'm coming." I told him. Then I slammed the door in his face again. I could hear his frustrated growl through the door, and I giggled insanely.
Once I had finished grooming and getting ready, I walked out the hallway and followed Robin's quickly retreating back. I gave a sharp, short whistle and a gray streak raced out after us, just managing to get through the door in time.
We walked side by side and followed Robin through the many corridors and stairs. I paused before entering the main room. Robin didn't notice and kept walking through. I looked down at Shadow, and he looked up at me. I had a feeling that what lay behind this door would change my life forever. "Let's go in." Shadow said.
I gave a nervous grin. "Yeah, let's. Then, we turned as one and marched into the main room. The sight I found only increased my nerves. Everyone was sitting on the couch except Robin, who was standing in the middle and tapping his foot impatiently. He turned to me.
"Celesti. I'm going to get straight to the point." I felt my heart jump to my throat. He held out his hand. A yellow communicator rested in it. "We all agreed. We want you to be a Teen Titan."
I decided to over exaggerated things, just for fun. "Oh my god!" I squealed. "Of course! I'm so happy!" I accepted the communicator and frowned at its bright color. "Argentum." The yellow melted away to metallic silver. I smiled and held it up. "Isn't it pretty!" I then bent down and shoved it in Shadow's face. "ISN'T IT? LOOK!" Shadow tried to back away. I stood up, a serious expression on my face. "Thank you."
Cyborg smiled happily and Beast Boy cheered, shooting his fist in the air. Cyborg slapped me on the back and I nearly winced from the force of the impact. "Welcome to the team!" He said. I reached a hand back and gently rubbed the quickly forming bruise.
"Thanks." I said to him sincerely. I swear! His hand is like iron! Oh, wait…I guess it is…
"We should go for the pizza!" Starfire exclaimed. "Is it not the Tradition of the Titans?"
"Yeah." Raven droned. "Titan's Tradition. Yippee." I blinked at her. Is there a time she isn't sarcastic?
"That's nice and all, but I really shouldn't." I told them, backing away. "I have something planned." I lied. "Bye!" And just like that, I was gone. Before they could even protest. I was happy and all, but, to tell the truth, their offer also scared me.
I ran down the ever gray halls, panting. I dove in my room and closed the door satisfactorily. I leaned my back against the frigid metal and slid down till I was sitting against it. I panted and stared at the bed across from me, tears streaming down my cheeks.
So they'd done it.
They'd given me a legitimate excuse to stay. There was no more running.
I stood up and walked to the bed. I stared at it as if it were a foreign device. Then I collapsed on it. Before I closed my eyes, my tired mind made note of a haunting laughter pouring around me and my room. And subconsciously, somewhere inside my mind, a small child cried.
I'm listening to music right now. My sister made me listen to this really good song. It's called This Is How A Heart Breaks. You people should listen to it sometime. It's really good. If anyone wants a recommendation of songs, review and let me know.
Always off topic,
