Sadly I do not on the titans , and sadly never will.

Year by Year, Death by Death.

Today is March 6,2006 my parents where slain on this night a few years ago, and a

man comes to prolong my suffering by killing those I grow close to. So it has always

been so it shall stay.

I pace my room mumbling like a madman eyes wide staring into the darkness.

When I heard a gentle tapping outside my door "Go away" I shout without hesitation. I

heard a cry of fear floats through the door along with these words "Richard please I'm

scared." What is Kori doing up so late? "Come in." The door opened to reveal Kori as

white as a ghost. "Richard I'm so scared I keep hearing strange noises and it frightens

me so. Please Richard help me I'm scared." She said with tears in her eyes. "Stay here

you'll be all right I promise." "I…I trust you." When she said that she trusted me I

received a newfound courage and walked out the door.

I checked on the other members of the team and then went to go check Kori's

room. When on my there I heard a noise echo from my room down the hall. I sprinted to

my room through open the door and froze in horror. There stood a man with a knife to

Kori's throat. For a split second time seemed to freeze. Then the next I helplessly

watched the man slit Kori's neck and run past me through the open door. I dashed to

Kori's lifeless corpse, held it in my arms and wept over her motionless form. How could

this happen again? I did not intend on getting close to someone or letting someone get

close to me, it just happened. Now because of me another innocent person is dead, all

because of me.

I awoke with a start, sweat beads rolling down my face. My clothes plastered to

my body. It was just a dream I side with relief. I glanced at my digital wristwatch, it was

1:39 October 24,2005 the day I saw my parents die. A wave of grief washed over me.

Just to be safe I quietly walked down the hall to Kori's room and looked through the

slightly parted door, she lay asleep dreaming peacefully, her head hanging over one side

of the bed. I went to the training room to block out the horrible memories and dream.
