Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, but I do own the freaky deaky plots I come up with. :) The characters, too. But yeah. After a long time away from FanFic, here's my new story, NightWish!
Kaylea sat alone in her dark, cold bedroom. "What have I done?" she thought to herself. She just watched her beloved twin sister, Katrina, die with a painful scream of terror right in front of her, and it was all her fault. She lay solemnly on Katrina's bed, tears running down her red face as she fainted into an extremely deep sleep. Her life began flashing by as she slept in the darkness of that faithful night.
"Good morning, birthday girls," Terra said to her twin daughters. Katrina rolled out of bed with a wide smile on her face and looked over at her sister. She, however, took after their father, Garfiel Logan, more commonly known as the green-hued changeling of the Titans, Beast Boy.
"C'mon, Kay, time to wake it up!" Katrina yelped, shaking Kaylea's lazy body, "It's our birthday, you know, and you're supposed to be bright eyes and bushy tailed."
"She's right, dear, wakee up," Terra followed. She loomed over Katrina, who was still shaking some life into Kaylea's body. The look on her face told them she was irritated as she groaned.
"Maybe tomorrow..." her voice mumbled as she turned over on her side. Katrina smirked, formed an icey cole waterball in her hand, and threw it at her. Kaylea then jolted out of bed, shivering like she'd just been in a snow storm naked. "Ok-kay, I'm up-p!" she shrieked. There was a long pause... Terra and her daughters laughed and headed downstairs for breakfast.
"Mornin', y'all! Guess what's for breakfast today?" Cyborg called happily from the kitchen.
"Oh, lemme guess... waffles," Raven said, bluntly as ever other day.
"Nope! It's Kat and Kay's birthday so they have first dibs on writing the menu today," he replied. "Please be waffles, please be waffles, please be waffles..." he pleaded in his half computerized mind.
"I'll take... eggs and bacon, please," Katrina told the metallic man.
"Comin' right up," Cyborg said, pulling out a frying pan. "And how about you, little lady?" He pointed to Kaylea.
"Um... Tofu?" she said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Yes! I was hoping for this day to come!" Beast Boy exclaimed. His teammates and daughters stared at him. "I mean, good choice, dear." Everyone laughed out loud.
Soon after breakfast, Kaylea went outside and looked up at the clear, blue sky. "I'm greatful not to have powers and all, but it just feels like ther's something missing..." she thought to herself as she lay back on her hands and watched the big, puffy clouds go by. She then looked down into her rippling reflection in the water and sighed. Everytime there was havoc amuck in Jump City, her parents, her sister, and her teammates would always leave her behind.
Maybe she just felt left out or some sort of self-imperfection. She had no clue. After a little more thinking, the young Titan made her way back to her home, the giant letter T known as Titans Tower. She went into her bedroom, which she shared with Katrina, and decided what to wear to their birthday celebration that night.
"Hmmm... I should try to look my best," she thought, "you never know who's gonna show up, after all." She smiled at the mere thought of her long time crush, Zeth. His shining, soft blonde hair, his bright, warming, teal eyes, his masculine body build, his...
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Kaylea shouted from the back of the room. The door turned black and opened ever so slowly, only to reveal Katrina and Lilith, Cyborg and Raven's 15-year-old daughter.
"Deciding on what to wear, I see?" Lilith asked her fellow house... er... tower mate. Kaylea nodded and smiled.
"Guess I should do the same, eh?" Katrina chuckled and moved over to her ocean blue dresser. There was pure silence, other than the breathing of the three teens and the rustling of clothes. Soon, Lilith broke the silence.
"So, Kay, did you get your powers yet?" she asked, trying to start a good conversation.
"No, not yet. Ugh, I dread the thought... Me having powers is definately not a good thing. I mean, the responsibility of having and keeping a secret identity and all," she mumbled shyly, "and I don't really want to lose control like Mom did." Katrina looked at her sister sincerely.
"I know what you're saying about secret identities and hiding your powers. Gosh, if gossip were beer, well... the Jump City Junior High would be blind drunk!" Katrina giggled. Sooner than later, the girls all began to laugh together in unison. "Just stating the facts," sighed the young aquamancer s the teens calmed themselves. Lilith began to speak.
"Oh, maybe I should tell you why I'm here," she stated, "my mom says Starfire is gonna do our hair for tonight, so that rips my job."
"Lilly, you're one of my best buds in like the whole world," Kaylea said sweetly, slowly walking up to Lilith with a smile on her face, "you don't need a reason to come in here!" Her and the necromancer were soon in a warm, friendly embrace. She looked at her twin. "And I'm sure Kat feels the same way." Katrina nodded and smiled.
"Right," Lilith smiled widely and warmly at her friends. "Thanks, guys. I feel so loved," she said after that, and even though she didn't mean it at all, she sounded sarcastic, taking after her mother.
"Aww, this calls for a group hug..." Katrina announced full of bliss and held her arms out widely. Lilith and Kaylea just looked at her. She got a perplexed look on her thin face. "Um... Okay then, never mind," she said glumly. Just then, the three friends smiled, laughed, and hugged.
Night soon struck on the large, often troublesome city, and an erie fog creeped into Titans Tower. Little did the heroes know what was about to happen...
