Story: P.S. I think i love you (all chapters)

Blackfire chopped the robot closest to her. She saw it fall to the floor as its head fell of but after it was enveloped in the darkness surrounding her. She took a deep breath and waited to hear or feel any movement. She couldn’t risk a starbolt here and alert the mass amount of robots she knew were around. It had been such a perfect plan she thought to herself. Cause a distraction, shut of the lights, and destroy the small army of prison guard robots that would be sent her way but she had seriously underestimated their numbers and was now trapped.

She heard the shuffle of a metallic boot and turned to her left just in time to see a robot point a red laser on her. She quickly lashed out with her right leg and destroyed it but now her position would be relayed to all the surrounding robots. “Well, no point in not using a starbolt now” she said to herself and proceeded to light up in front of her. The starbolt raced from her palm and went through a robot not even 30 feet away illuminating the cold, hard, metallic faces of probably 500 more. Blackfire turned and fired in the other direction and the black ball of energy only went three feet before it caused a robot to explode right in front of her. She was thrown back and cracked her head hard against a piece of debris on the ground. This is it she thought to herself as the darkness crept in I’m going to die right here. She tried to get her body moving but couldn’t in stead she lifted her hands and sent a starbolt into the air one last time and saw the robots closing in, she felt herself losing consciousness when in the flickering light she saw a girl flip over the robots to kneel beside her. The girls blue eyes held hers until she finally gave up and surrendered to the un-fightable darkness that overtook her…

Blackfire gasped as she flew into a sitting position. She surveyed her surroundings and realized she was in a spacious escape pod. She was just about to get out of the cot she was laying on when a plasma screen moved in front of her. The blue eyed girl with purple hair flowing down her back appeared on the screen and spoke “hello Komand'r I know you must be confused but just so you know I saved you and put you in this pod so you now owe me even more. It is on its way to Azarath because in light of your escape the Tamaran government has blockaded earth board a Azarathian ship and rendezvous with me on earth, Then we can work on your repayment. By the way if the coordinates are tinkered with the ship self destructs. TA-TA Komand'r. Black fire hurled a starbolt at the screen and felt a little better as it disintegrated.

  Raven hated family reunions, Especially when her family was involved. Her mother and walked tentavely towards her while her twin siblings a boy and a girl sensing there mothers apprehension had hid behind her. She wouldn’t care if she hadn’t had to spend the next two weeks here but she did. Damn Robin she thought to herself. He had sent her on a forced vacation back to her homeland after she had lost control of her powers for the third time. Now she was stuck at this poor excuse for an inn. It was a two story high building with maybe 5 rooms upstairs the roof was longer on one side than the other, the walls were cracked and mossy, and half of the house sagged as if it was on a sinkhole. Raven sighed and stepped forward to greet her mother

. “Hello Raven” her mom said stopping a good 3 feet from her. She still fears me thought raven with a baffling morbid pleasure. “Hello Arella” answered Raven. She didn’t call her mom because she didn’t deserve it. Not after what she had tried to do. Arella looked forlorn as if she had been reprimanded then the moment passed and she asked Raven where her luggage was. “I didn’t have time to pack. I was forced here.” “Oh… well there is a beautiful garment shop in town. I’m sure we can get some clothes there”. Raven walked past her and the cowering children. “Right” was all she said with a and she stepped inside

. Blackfire almost felt happy when the green planet turned up. She had spent just two in the pod going over how her life had come to this and how un fair it was. As the pod sped toward the planet she still cursed her sister to the point of tears she has always had what I wanted. The throne, a family, and a home. Why does she have it? It was supposed to be mine. The pod gained more speed as it entered the planets atmosphere. The insides became to hot to touch. Blackfire crouched still cursing everything and every one.The pod crashed surprisingly close to a town. Blackfire exited the broken shell she was confined to and fell to her knees. She checked her legs for broken bones and satisfied she wasn’t mortally wounded she picked herself up and walked away from the burning wreckage.

 She arrived at the town at what seemed to be midday or at least the sun was right over her. “well first things first” she said eyeing a lodging sign. She walked inside what looked like a dusty saloon. The burly man with halitosis quickly got in her face. “What do yuh’ wan young’un”. “What’s it to you “ She said pushing right back. She had been trapped in a small capsule for 5 days and if this idiot wanted a fight she would give him one. She was about to light him on fire when a homely old milkmaid interjected. “Hold on there little one, we don’t want no trouble what do you need.” “A room”. “okay how much you willing to pay”. Black fire didn’t have any pockets on her purple suit. “I’m sorry but…”The woman wasted no time in saying “if you have no money your not welcome here. If you’re that desperate for lodging there is an old in just outside of town.” She pushed Blackfire out and went back inside. Blackfire sighed why do the gods hate me so she said as she began down the dirt road.

Blackfire approached the rundown house and almost turned back. She forced herself to walk inside and she her spirits fell even more as she observed the room. It was a brown-wooded room which was barren except for a table with flowers on it and a window on the wall. Across from the window was a swinging door and beside that was a counter with a bell on it. Knowing she would regret it she rang the bell. Almost immediately a beautiful woman with black hair and dowdy clothes appeared.”May I help you” she asked. Blackfire couldn’t believe it maybe her luck was finally changing. This woman was very perky and would probably help anyone with a good sob story she almost laughed at how easy it would be. “I’m sorry to have bothered you but my ship has crashed“ she said allowing tears to well up in her eyes.” My father bless his soul took me on vacation. We were going to the Hurkian galaxy but we were attacked by space pirates. He stayed to fight and he died but at the last second…With his last dying breath…He sent me away on an escape pod. Blackfire finally allowed her tears to flow and watched in satisfaction as the woman melted before her eyes. “Don’t worry dear you can stay” The woman answered almost breaking into tears herself. “I don’t have any money though” said Blackfire as she forced even more tears. “Don’t worry about that later, you can get a job in town then you can pay it off over time.” Thank you Ms….uh…Ms.”  “Arella dear, what's your name.” “Blackfire Ms Arella” Blackfire answered as the perky woman hugged her. “And I will pay you back” Blackfire said as she stifled another laugh. She knew full well the sun would die and be born again before this woman ever saw a cent from her. 

Raven was almost knocked down by Arella as she barreled into the room she was walking past. “What's the big rush” she inquired nonchalantly “I have a costumer and I need to tidy this room” Arella answered as she dusted and straightened things up. Raven couldn’t have cared less but she had nothing better to do but ignore the twins that followed her every step then ran away as she turned to look at them. She made her way down the stairs and opened the door just enough to see half of the room. She almost screamed. It was her, Starfire’s sister. She was looking outside through the window on the opposite side of the room. Seeing this Raven wasted no time. She burst into the room and stretched out her hands.

Blackfire turned just in time to see black tentacles shoot from the cloaked girl’s hands. She felt them grab her and hold her against the wall then they merged together until the covered everything but her head. “Why are you hear” Raven said coldly. Blackfire could barely breathe but managed to sputter out “why are you here. Did robin finally wise up and kick the weakest one out.” “That’s not an answer “ Raven said with a deadly calm. All of a sudden Blackfire felt the pressure on her chest become even more unbearable. She tried to speak but no words came out and she felt herself losing consciousness. Blackfire couldn’t believe it. This little emo freak was really about to kill her. She was just about to give up when Arella bounded into the room. What in the name of Azarath are you doing? Raven dropped her hand in surprise and Blackfire fell to the ground gasping in air till she choked.” I know you don’t like me much but you can’t get revenge by killing costumers” Arella said trying to keep her voice level down.” This is an intergalactic criminal and she’s probably here to kill me.” Raven replied showing no emotion.” Everyone deserves a second chance sweetie”. “First off don’t call me sweetie second, she doesn’t get another chance. She already got hers. I’m ending this here.” Raven turned around and looked down in time to see Blackfire raise her head. The white part in her eyes was replaced by pure darkness causing her to look like she had no eyes at all. “You shouldn’t have let me go” she said with a sadistic tone. The smile on her face reminded raven of a witch’s grin.

A purple starbolt hit raven in the stomach before she could even step back. She went through the wall and landed on the stairs. Blackfire stood up and started walking over menacingly but by chance looked behind her and saw the table with an aura the same black color of the tentacles Raven trapped her in. She hesitated for a second which proved to be fatal, the table did a dipping U and slammed into her chin. “OOOOMPH” was all she got out as she flew somersaulting into the ceiling and smashed into it face first. It looked like she was made of some kind of gelatin as her limp body peeled of off the dented ceiling, but Raven wasn’t finished yet. She used her power to pick up a piece of the table which had broken in two from the impact. As Blackfire fell to the ground Raven positioned the table piece vertically and sent it flying. The wood shot upward hitting Blackfire’s back with a resounding THUD! Blackfire laid on the wood that was somehow still in one piece. Her back looked broken as it bent over it. Blackfire started to rouse and Raven almost smiled “bye bye” she said to know one in particular. Almost instantly the wood turned horizontal and zoomed into the opposite wall crashing the broken body of Blackfire through. Raven finally dropped the wood with a smirk it had done its job well she thought to herself as she walked across the dirt and wood to where the semi-conscious Blackfire lay.

“Isssssth…tttttthhthththat…all…you’ve got” Blackfire said trying to get up and failing miserably. “It seemed like it was enough to stop you” raven said with a face that would freeze the Pacific Ocean. “Blackfire felt a familiar darkness start to creep around her vision.” No” she forced herself to say then began inch by inch to pull herself up. She stumbled twice and each time she began again. Raven almost felt sorry for her…almost. Blackfire finally stood up and a purple starbolt appeared in her hand as she began to sway back and forth. Knowing she would fall down and not be able to stand up she threw it. The starbolt went far to the right of a non-moving raven and cleared six or seven trees before dissipating. Blood gurgled slowly out of Blackfire's mouth and numerous cuts all over her body. She finally fell down for good. Raven stared down at her fallen foe she used her power to grab one of the fallen trees and raised it over Blackfire's head to deliver the final blow…
