My first fic, so some characters may be ooc. This is a multi-chapter fic I'm just slow.

I do NOT own any superheroes(this includes the Teen Titans(duh) except my oc .Oh, I do own many cobwebs(LOL).

Now, on with the story…….

Gasping the cool night air in huge gulps, Megan ran away from the only home she had ever known, from the screams emanating from her parents' bedroom, from the dark shadow that lurked over her bed. Megan sobbed as ran, occasionally stumbling, banging her knees and tearing her silk nightgown. Praise the gods for the palace guard that was always posted in the secret room next to hers. He was dead now, whoever that man was but he had given Athea the chance to flee. She was still running, getting deeper into the woods now. Her soft, fur lined slippers had long fallen off, only her shawl remained because she had automatically tied it around her shoulders when the alarm had sounded. Brambles and thorns impaled her feet but she heeded them not, the fear of what hunted her stronger than the pain. A sharp branch lashed her cheek and she dimly was aware of warm blood running down her cheek to mingle with the tears. After what seemed like an eternity, Megan's legs refused to keep running. She tripped over a root and went sprawling down to the ground, mud staining the once pure white of the nightgown. Trembling from exhaustion and fear, she managed to crawl to a rocky outcropping a few feet away and curled up, praying that she would survive the night.
