Chapter 16_

Mr. Brightside

"I tried Robin, I tried to wait," I whispered my voice breaking into quiet tears and drew a small knife from my pocket. Here lies Dusk, the girl who was created to be a killer. 1665-2010. I could see the words scribbled on one of these small headstones. I drew the knife to my throat.

Dusk

"Dusk!" someone cried from behind me.

No one here knew me by that name; no one in Hell knew that name at all. Shit it was.

"Robin!" I cried and whirled around.

He was dressed like a regular towns person, in a brown, thick, wool cloak with the hood up. But I saw his beaming face.

I jumped into his arms, hugging him and crying.

"Don't ever leave me," he whispered delicately into my ear.

(Cheesy moment I know)

"How the hell did you get here?" I mumbled, reality slapping me in the face.

"Raven did some weird spell thing."

I kissed him knocking him over in the snow. I didn't mind the cold at all. Nothing mattered but this.

I couldn't let go of him, not when snowflakes buried us, not when the tips of my fingers began to turn blue. The two of us just lay perfectly together in the snow. I could have lain there forever, our lips pressed. French kissing really wasn't my style but, lightly our tongues touched.

Then I remembered the chilling real world, the real world where I was destined to kill.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" a voice hissed. I let go of Robin and jumped up.

"Zane" I growled.

"Hello, Alexandra"

Robin was up by now and standing by my side.

"Alexandra let's make this simple" in a flash he had Robin by the neck.

Holy shit not another Twilight moment!

"Let him go Zane, what the hell did he ever do to you?" I snapped ready to swipe up the knife and stab Zane in the freaking heart.

"Everything, he took you away. The kid swept you of your feat Alex!"

"And why would you care?" I growled.

"Dusk" Robin murmured trying to squirm free of Zane's vice grip.

"I love you Alexandra, and so right now I'm considering killing your boyfriend"

"If you kill him you now you'll be dead within two seconds later"

"That wont matter he'll already be dead" Zane countered.

"Beg, beg for me to let him go" Zane said wickedly.

"I would never do such a damned id—" I stopped. I had to beg, if I didn't Robin might die. Hell Angels are such bitches.

"Pretty please Zane?" I said with a high-pitched voice.

"Alex I think I'm losing my patience"

"Well what the hell am I supposed to say?" I yelled.

"Alex kiss me"

"Holy shit no!" I screamed, half surprised.

"Uh oh I think I'm going to murder," Zane snapped.

"Okay, okay fine! But it wont mean nothing!"

I grabbed Zane and locked lips, bleh this was gross. I broke apart gagging, and staring at Robin, trying to apologize with my eyes.

"Sweetie, that wasn't close to anything I was expecting"

"Damn you!" I snapped.

"What the hell man just let me go" Robin growled.

"Nah she's to cute to pass up" Zane sneered.

Suddenly I remembered the way to get out of this place, leapt into the air and tumbled into Robin's arms.

I bit myself and dragged my teeth down my arm, so I was bleeding. I scooped up the blood and shoved it towards Robin. Thankfully he understood and lapped some up.

Then in turn I sliced his leg with the little dagger in the snow, he yelped and I drank some, feeling like I was going to throw up.

Then my little world faded away and all that was left was the screams and yells of Zane. No one else was with me.

Robin

I woke up; I was in the room of mirrors again. Groggily I stood up, wavering and feeling dizzy. Dusk jumped up by my side, her face was shimmering with joy, and she hugged me tightly and pointed to a mirror. I grasped her hand and together we jumped through.

We both landed in water, she squealed with joy and swam through it to me,

"Robin! I'm home!" She cried happily.

I shared her joy and kissed her through the lightly tumbling waves, and then I glanced around, the T tower stood above us.

"Raven, BB, Cyborg!" Dusk exclaimed.

She threw off her coat, mittens and hat, and then paddled to the tower, me following her in her wake.

Dusk's wings unfolded and sliced through the water, she grabbed my hand and soared to the top of the tower, then she grabbed the handle of the back door and the cool rush of air greeted us.

Raven

"Robin! Dusk!" I cried and ran towards them.

"Raven!" Dusk yelped and hugged me.

"Robin?" Starfire asked shyly and came running down the hall.

"Hey Star…" Robin mumbled.

"Robin and Dusk!" BB screamed and ran towards us, wrapping everyone in a huge hug.

"Hey!" Cyborg exclaimed and joined everyone.

I felt myself wrap my arms around Robin, quickly taking the excuse to hug him, Dusk smiled at me and began crying happily.

After everyone was done, BB asked Dusk if he could teach her how to play Halo. She agreed and everyone was laughing while she completely killed BB and Cyborg.

"Wait BB should I shoot the alien with this or this?" Dusk asked.

"Whatever you want…"BB mumbled while Cyborg watched Dusk take off the heads of aliens.

"Hey we should go for pizza" BB announced after Dusk had said she was getting bored of winning all the time.

We all agreed and I went to my room to get ready.

"Raven?" Starfire asked.

"Yeah Star?"

"Do you share the feelings I share for Robin?" Star put out boldly.

"What?" I gaped that she knew.

"Do you share the fee—" I cut her off.

"I know what you said"

"So you do?"

"I don't know…" I told her nervously.

"Do not lie to me Raven"

"Okay, okay… I might, but that doesn't mean anything!"

Starfire gave me a sly smile. Oh my god did I really just tell her that? Damn it I think I did.

Dusk

I sat on the couch next to Robin, turns out I had enough time to run to the mall, grab new clothes, and be back before any of the Titans were done getting ready. I held Robin's hand lightly and rested my head on his shoulder.

He ran his fingers through my hair and we both sat together peacefully.

"Thanks for coming to get me" I whispered.

"Thanks for coming with me" he whispered back.

I smiled and waited for the rest of the Titans to get back.
