One with me
Chapter 2. Things then
A year went by flying after my transformation, the relations inside our team had just gotten worse, I already had gotten accustomed to my new situation and me and Star had started dating for half a year now... My life started since the moment she agreed and my, did my soul rejoiced as she answered to my feelings in the same way.
Yet, I had still to tell her what I had become; I hadn't found the courage to say it... Every now and then I would go out in the afternoons alone, asking her to stay and she would do it without second thoughts for me; those kinds of reactions from her made me love her even more...
And so, in those times I would refill my provisions and come back as if nothing had happened.
We used to go out in the afternoons for a walk, I didn't had any objections, sunlight didn't end up being as harmful as I had thought, meaning no problem for me, but I still kept liking nights better.
"Don't you just love to be outside?" Star asked me one afternoon in a joyful tone as we walked inside the city's park. She really loves outdoors.
"It sure is nice out today..." I answered softly; I was walking rather absently, looking at my companion whom enjoyed so much her time, while I struggled inside of me, whether to tell her or not, I really wanted to tell her, but how?
"Are you ok babe?" she asked me in that tender tone of hers and when I came out of my abstraction, I found her face in front of mine, as she looked at me in a bit of a worried way.
I smiled slightly at her, trying to make myself look reassuring. "Perfect, just like you." I said with a soft tone and a small smile. "...Let's go back, shall we?" I suggested, grabbing her hand and interweaving my fingers with hers.
She agreed with a small nod and we headed back for the Tower, heading directly into my room, we had a while now that we had decided to avoid meeting with the guys; Robin had become too controlling, power going up his head; Cyborg was too centered with his inventions, he had already made some very good ones, but he had become a complete work-a-holic and Beast Boy, well, his like for girls just got bigger with the years...
It seemed like my attitude still had Star a bit worried, as when we arrived at the room, she asked me one more time if everything was ok.
"...I really wish you would tell me what's going on..." she said in a soft tone, how could I say 'no' to a request from the one I love?
I went over to my window, looking out into the dusk. "...You sure you won't regret it if I were to tell you...?" I asked her in the same low tone.
She stood from my bed, where she had been sitting and walked over to me, hugging me tenderly from behind.
"Of course I won't..." she assured to me confidently, making a smile appear in my lips, as she rested her head on my shoulder comfortably; with the pass of the time, I had ended up being slightly taller than her.
"I'll tell you then..." I agreed with another smile.
I made her sit down in my bed and then I kneeled in front of her, but not before doubting for a moment, as I tried to come up with the right words.
"It's been an amazing ride until this very moment and I truly wish for it to keep up..." I started, looking at Star, whom paid attention to each of my words. "Yet it came into a tunnel some time ago and you... You became that light at the end of it..." I kept going, a glad smile towards her. "And now I present myself to you in what I really am, hoping not to lose your acceptance, for I have become a monster, a true daughter of the night, who lives on the blood of life beings..." I finished, bowing my head softly, expecting Star's rejection, yet it didn't come...
"Oh Raven... Do you think my love will budge in front of such a little thing?" she said in a tender tone, lifting my face by my chin, making me meet her charming smile.
"But-..." I tried to remind her all the dangers that it would mean to stay near a vampire, but she shushed me by placing her index finger in my lips, a smile still in her face.
"It's such a small thing..." she repeated softly, sliding down from the bed's edge and sitting in front of me, both of us now in the floor."Besides, doesn't it mean we'll now be able to stay together forever?" she added in a tender tone.
"Star, don't you see what I am now?" I asked at her, as she started to lean towards me slowly. I was truly worried about her, it would mean so many sacrifices for her in order to stay with me; I didn't want her to waste her life in such a way.
"Do you think I care...?" Star inquired still using that tender tone and as she said the last word, her lips met mine and I couldn't have been gladder.
"Will you be with me then?" I asked as our lips parted; a pleased tone of voice in my words.
"I cross my heart with our blood with that vow, I'll stay with you forever..." she answered gladly in an assuring way, making our lips' meet again.
We took hold of the kiss for a long time, passion building up rapidly between us, I kissed her and she kissed me, I lost track of time and after what seemed an eternal drift inside each other, I left her lips and went down to her neck; her skin was so tender and delicate and my fangs sank on it delicately.
Starfire became one with me that night and her blood was the sweetest thing I have ever tasted, something so pure, that I couldn't contain a trail of tears that escaped my eyes as my fangs were still in her skin.
