Chapter 8: Princess Koriand'r Of Tamerain
"Kori?" somebody asked. I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling of my office. I looked to my right and there was Richard with a glass of water. Then I remember what the lady said, "Starbolts as the paper calls them."
"I have to go!" I yelled, jumping to my feet. I grabbed my head in pain and fell back into the couch I was laying on.
"Kori calm down," Richard said.
"My daughter needs me," I said, trying to walk as I stood up once again.
"You need to rest," Richard said, sitting me back down. I stood up and pushed him down on the couch.
"No! My daughter needs me and I'm going to get to her with or without your help!" I yelled as I started to walk away.
"Alright," he said and opened the door for me.
'Wow he is not he Robin I used to know,' I thought to myself as the elevator started to go down and I got that sinking feeling in my stomach. (I love that feeling….)
'The old Robin would have put up a fight till the death,' I though laughing lightly.
'Wait! I just laughed because of something that had to do with Robin! I'm supposed to hate him!' just then the doors opened and Richard stepped out.
"Where do you need me to take you?" Richard asked as he opened the car door for me.
"Jump City Elementary," I said as he started the car.
"My husband is probably already there, but I want to make sure," I said, looking out the window at the passing buildings.
"What is his name?" Richard asked.
"Xavier Red," I said, not really thinking about what I was saying.
"What did you say his name was?" he asked, looking at me.
"Xavier Red," I said, looking at him.
'Oh no! He heard me talking to Red X that night when we split! He heard me call him Xavier!' I screamed in my mind.
"Thanks for the ride," I said, taking off my seat belt.
"Where are you going?" Richard asked, pulling over.
"I just need to go," I said and then opened the door. Just then it started to rain. I ran off into an alley way and right before Richard left he heard a scream and a bright green light bounced off the building walls. He got out of his car and ran into the alley way. There on the ground was a man with steam trailing from his stomach. In his hand was my jacket. Richard looked up and saw a glance of my red hair disappear behind a building and then vanish.
"Did you get her home?" I asked, rushing into the living room drenched in water.
"Yea. Why weren't you there?" Xavier asked, handing me a towel.
"Blacked out," I said taking off my shirt as I walked down the hall to the room. I came back out wearing black shorts and a red tang top.
"Are you ok?" Xavier asked, walking over to me.
"Yes I'm fine," I said, getting a glass of water.
"Are you sure?" Xavier asked again.
"Yes. Now where is she?" I asked, looking at him.
"Upstairs crying her eyes out," Xavier said, pointing up the stairs.
"Come on," I said as I started to walk up the stairs with the glass of water. I stopped in front of her door and knocked.
"Alexis it's mommy and daddy," I said sweetly.
"Go away!" Alexis yelled from inside.
"We aren't mad at you. We just want to talk. Please unlock the door, it wasn't your fault," I said. It was a few moments before I heard the door unlock. I slowly opened the door and walked inside. I put the water on her desk and sat down next to her on the bed.
"Alexis calm down," I said, hugging her.
"People think I'm a freak!" she said crying.
"It's ok. There was nothing you could do," I said as Xavier came back into the room with a photo album.
"What do you mean?" she asked looking up at me.
"I should have told you earlier, but I didn't think it would ever happen," I said, looking down at her.
"Mom what is going on?" Alexis asked looking up at me. Xavier sat down next to her with the photo album. He opened it and there were pictures of the Teen Titans. Along with the picture from the beach and the one of all of us.
"Do you know who these people are?" I asked her.
"Yea! I saw them on T.V, but it was a cartoon," she said, slightly smiling.
"These are my friends," I told her.
"What?" Alexis asked, looking at me.
"I was there. Seven years ago, before you were born," I said turning the page.
"But you're normal, a human! What does it have to do with me?" Alexis asked me.
"I am no human, but the same as you. I am Princess Koriand'r of Tamerain," I said as a starbolt lit in my hand and my feet rose from the ground.
"I am Starfire."
Ok yea that was the end of it. Sorry it took so long to write. I got a major brain fart, lol. Please review!
