Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Teen Titans! If I did, I would not have canceled it. *humph*

Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry about really confusing you, If I did. I've decided to go in first p.o.v. (with I, instead of he/she) for the present at least. It should be in that tense for a while. So Sorry! The story will get better, I promise!

Chapter One: The End

Part Two

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starfire's P.O.V.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Right then and there, I knew that my horrid past had caught up to the future.

Except for this time, I was alone and I was playing with fire. The heat was clear across my eyes, as if I had been slapped across the cheek.

It was impossible… she was dead, or at least I had thought.

Never again will I underestimate my enemies!

I was snapped out of my inner-thoughts as a cry of agony brought me back to reality.

Raven was on her knees, clutching her hand in pain; as if she touched the stove and did not realize the burner was on, only worse.

I immediately rushed over to her, while the others began to attack the unknown villain. Well, unknown to them.

As I grabbed her hand that had been damaged, she yelped.

"Shhh… It will be alright, friend Raven." I said, trying to relax her.

Just what I thought, the treacherous demon scratched her hand!

The cut was pretty deep too.

I heard Raven's intake of breath.

For a brief glance, I glared at the demon, which was called Xzema.

She belonged to the Shadow Realm, and she was extremely dangerous.

"It's okay Starfire. Go, I will be fine." Raven insisted.

I gently let Raven's hand fall to her side, and then I marched up to her, my hand bawling fists.

The demon, or Lasher, noticed my appearance, and gawked at me; tilting her head slightly as she held Beastboy's neck in a tight grasp, choking him.

"Drop him." The words flew out of my mouth, as I let my fist snap forward hitting her straight in the face.

Xzema did as she was told and went crashing into a nearby wall; which crumbled.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Beastboy scramble to his feet and quickly went to stand by Cyborg and Robin; who were either frozen with shock or with awe, I could not tell.

I turned my attention back to Xzema.

The way I was able to do that was probably because she was taken by surprise. We had not seen each other since our last encounter; in fact, I had believer her dead.

None of it was making any sense.

The evil demon had come around then. I held my ground.

She looked at me suspiciously, raising her eyebrow. Without further hesitation, she charged at me with full speed.

In an instant, I felt a sickening pain running down my side. I screamed a blood-curling scream and fell on my knees.

The other Titans froze with horror, then shook it off and sprang into action. Even Raven joined in.

"So ya like scratching? Well, how do you like being blasted?" Cyborg asked, his gun powering up.

I could hear Raven's chant in the distance, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos."

I watch as Beastboy transformed into a Gorilla. I also saw Robin, who was next to him, freeze with an expression on his face that I could not understand. Half a second later, he turned his head toward me with concern?

I gave him a small reassuringly smile to let him know that I was going to be fine.

And I was going to be fine, what he did not know was that I had worse thanks to that monster.

But I was fine after a couple months, so I knew that I was going to be fine.

Robin nodded and turned his attention towards Xzema; whipping his boo-staff out gracefully.

I frowned. He was going to fight her? They all were; I could see that. That was out of the question! I could not let them do that.

Thinking quickly, I got up, ignoring my pain, and ran with full speed at the demon.

On my way, I was caught in the midst of Cyborg's blast. I hurled through the air, spinning. I crashed into a figure, which in turn; crashed into another figure. When I regained my sight fully, I could tell that it was Robin and Beastboy.

I looked at Xzema, and I could see a small smirk creeping up on her face. Great.

Raven started chanting again (who had lost control), but before she could start, Xzema used her ability to vanish. I sighed in relief as I let the boys up.

"What Starfire was that?" Robin demanded angrily; but I couldn't answer him. I did, however, answer him in my head.

So the humans called me strong. What would happen if a human got hurt by her claws? I shuddered. Raven was not badly injured; but still, she screamed in agony.

Then another thought occurred, was this all my fault that my family was in danger? I asked myself as we drove back in Cyborg's baby.

Yes, I answered. Yes it was.

And I was the only one who could make it right.
