I rubbed my ankle frantically and looked at my clock. 2:30 was glaring at me, and I knew that it couldn't be p.m. in this blackness. Just fifteen और minutes, I told myself. Then आप can leave. No regrets. Just... augh!
I bit my lip as a shock of pain traveled up my leg and through to the hand that grasped it. It was unexpected, some kind of a warning, I was sure. "Nabuu," I growled. Forget 15 minutes. I had to go now.
I raced around my room, grabbing essential items-food, water, laptop, spellbook, and of course, my iPod and charger. I left my phone, dropped them com link, and blocked telepathic communication with everyone. I didnt want them to find me-not until it was safe.
See, I owed Nabuu a favor. Back durning the fight with the Injustice League, he had seriously considered holding Kaldur with him. I talked him out of it, promising that I'd put the हेलमेट on if he let Kaldur go.
What I didnt tell him is when.
And I had hoped he wouldn't have ever been used again. But apparently I was wrong. He now planned to take what I'd promised and use it against me, telling everyone the truth about what I'd hidden from them. But if I couldn't fight him, I'd play defense. I'd try to get away. And he couldnt dare threaten my family या friends- they didnt know what happened and they were innocent. So I hoped to use as little magic as possible to hide and run, not to mention keep my family in the dark.
I should have known that it wasn't going to play out how I wanted it to.

Now in the Charlie Brown spirit, Robin sat at the पियानो and started playing a couple notes.
"Do आप know any Charlie Brown songs?" Megan asked as Artemis sat beside Robin.
"Yeah, three, only one has lyrics though." Robin replied, turning the notes into a song.
"Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer, Fun for all that children call, Their प्रिय time of the year" The teen added lyrics.
"Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhymes, Of प्यार and dreams to share." Artemis continued.
"Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere, Yuletide द्वारा the fireside, And joyful memories there." Megan added sweetly.
"Christmas time is here, We'll be drawing near, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year..." The three finished laughing. Wally walked in.
"You guys are good singers." He smirked.
"SHUT UP!"
