Shadows Of My Own (Young Justice Fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Tuesday 20th February

Once again I was zooming through the streets of Star City, buckled into Canary's car. Though I didn't pay much attention to how great it was this time. Really, the only thing that came through my mind, was that I would be seeing Zoella again.

Though I knew, that somewhere down in the deepest, darkest depths of my heart, I was scared.

I was scared of what I might find when I finally see my best friend again. I had already told myself that she wouldn't be the same, that she would've changed throughout the years that she had been away from me. But still, part of me still held onto the hope that she was exactly as I had left her.

"We're here." Canary stated.

Not needing anymore guidance, I stepped out of the car and made my way towards the warehouse.

I passed the racks of packaged clothes that paraded balls of dust. Through the storage cupboard at the back of the room I walked. The small space was still concealed in darkness, and I didn't even bother turning on the light. My hands brushed cobweb after cobweb, but finally found the switch that opened the hidden door.

A hand grasped my shoulder before I make my move. "Be careful, Shadow." Canary said softly in my ear. "I'll be back here if you need me." I turned and smiled gratefully at my mentor. And I realised just how lucky I'd been to have her teach me over the past month.

Taking a deep breath, I flicked the switch that my fingers rested on. The wall slid across the floor, revealing the familiar site of the massive warehouse. Though this time, there was a improvement. And without recognition of my conscience, my feet moved towards her.

Flowing waves of ebony hair dripped over her shoulders, that beheld a midnight coloured leather jacket. Her ghost of face was home to her rose red lips, and those beautiful purple eyes.

Zoella was definitely a beautiful girl.

"Ebony..." Zoella spoke carefully as she saw me striding her way.

"Zoe." I replied, now feeling quite breathless.

I ran towards my friend and engulfed her in a hug, that she more than happily returned. The tears of relief that were emitted from my eyes stained her shoulder, and her tears stained my hair.

"I've missed you so much." I told her, muffled.

"I've missed you to." She cried. "I'm sorry that I put through all of that misery. I didn't think it would be like this."

"It's okay Zoe." I reassured, pulling back and looking into her eyes. "I've got you back now, and that's all that matters."

She smiled and shook her head, pulling me in for another hug. And this time, I hoped she'd never let go.

IM BACK BITCHESSS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for not updating for the last few weeks, but if you didn't already know I've had to study for exams, which, by the way are FINALLY OVER. I FINISHED THE LAST OF THEM TODAY AMD OMG IM WALKING ON SUNSHINE. So I really appreciate how patient all of you have been with getting this chapter up. I know it's short, and that's because I was planning to write tomorrow, but then I thought what the hell and did it today. And new cover as well!!! This one is a little more clear.

So what do you guys think of Zoella so far? And what's going to happen next chapter? Will their be a murder? A mystery? Or a rubber chicken? Ok, so maybe I'm overselling it. I didn't plan on having a murder in it, and I have no idea where the rubber chicken comes in. I'm really tired right now so don't judge.

Anyway, I'll see all of you lovely readers next chapter.

P.s. I've started a new book called 'That Girl', the prologue is up if you want to go and read it. And to anyone who reads my OUAT Fanfic 'Survivor', the next chapter will probably be up tomorrow.
