Chapter 8
I'M SORRY I FORGOT TO UPDATE
When there is somebody, you know more than yourself, you sense their presence. I sensed her presence. Raven had arrived back at the tower. I needed a way of escape. She probably knew what my intentions were. If I planned to succeed, it would be difficult with the other teen titans around. The room felt as if it were closing in. The walls were moving.
The entire room was being distorted by my very eyes. This wasn't initial shock. I heard a sirens blaring in my ears followed by the draft from the vent on the ceiling. My feet were shifting as the room spun, trying to focus on the ventilation system. Bingo. My way out. If the room were to just cooperate with me. A smell of foggy roses overwhelmed my senses. Before I knew it, I was on the floor. I could barely keep my eyes open.
"Help. Somebody." I couldn't find the energy to yell, "I know you are listening!"
I heard a familiar sorry from the other side of the wall. No. Inside the walls. The computerized sliding door had opened, and heavy footsteps were drawing closer and closer. Have they come to see why the room was deforming itself.
"How much sedative did you give her, Robin?" Cristiane asked, reaching for my arm.
"Enough." Jason said, stopping halfway into the room.
"To kill a cow!" Cristiane put a hand on my pulse.
"Help me up please. The ground isn't all that pleasant." I wanted to prove that no matter what they threw at me, I was stronger.
"Of course." Garfield offered me his hand and I happily accepted.
"You're coming with us." Starfire said, her arms crossed.
Who was she to decide what I was going to do? There is no way this alien princess was going to demand me, "Why? So you can dramatically interrogate me? To chain me before my sister came to visit?" I couldn't help but laugh at my relaxed state.
"I'm sorry but-" Garfield started.
"No. You're not. You used me for information. You know everything, yet you still find me dangerous. All you are to me is nothing." I couldn't help as my slurred words spilled, "As you would say, I'm sorry."
I watched his eyes get big at my words. I didn't think that he cared jack about me. My words shouldn't have any effect on him, or anyone for that matter. Father says people only get close to you for one reason. Secrets. They want to know things to use against you when the time comes. It makes them feel special, like the only one who truly knows you. And it's true.
Cristiane, Starfire, Dick, and Garfield looked at me in shock. They probably thought that Garfield and I had some type of connection. That they could exploit me in the interrogation through him. I took one long blink, taking a moment of relief.
"Uh oh. Your little plan is going to flop." I smiled.
"You are sick and twisted, I guess we'll have to do this the hard way." Robin struck me across the face, making me taste the metallic sensation of blood.
Torture, I liked his style.
