Here's Chapter five.... I think I'll write another chapter, so don't forget this history, especially because I decided to rewrite some chapters, when I have time... but for now, enjoy chap. 5! ____________________________________________________________________________ ____

Raven felt first a strange itchy on her left side, then a terrible pain: Slade had hit her. She closed her eyes, so she didn't saw anything when she crashed on the ground. More pain, this was the only feeling she had, before fainting.

She didn't knew where she was. It was a strange, dark and cold place. She wrapped herself with her cape, but she didn't felt warmer. The coldness was inside of her, and everything was hot in her body was slowly slipping out. All of a sudden she remembered: she was on the ground of dirty road, wounded. She was dying.

"So this is death?" thought Raven "Well, it isn't bad as they described it".

Now she was serene: she had done the right thing: protect someone who was really important, her friend, and her baby. She tried to imagine Starfire's daughter when she'd be 15 years old. Why a girl? She didn't knew, she just imagined her a girl: long black hair like Robin, and... and Starfire's green eyes... she was tall, of course, like his parent's... and she was beautiful, of an extraordinary beauty... And, one day, Robin and Starfire would have told her a strange story about a girl of 15 years that saved the life of Starfire, years and years ago. Raven smiled. She could die, it was true, but she would have lived forever with Star's daughter, kept alive by her life. And when, after a long life, Star's daughter will die, Raven would have slept forever, in peace.

The Titans encircled Starfire, who was holding Raven's body. None of them talked. Slade had escaped, taking advantage of confusion. Star was crying silently, grabbing Raven's head and calling her.

"Raven, you can't die now, please. You have to live, you can't die now... I want you on my side when... when..." she couldn't finish the phrase.

"Star, let her go.... You can't do nothing for her..." said Robin. "You're wrong! Shut up! You don't know anything!" "Star... please..." B.B. shouted: "Look! She's breathing! She's alive!!"

Raven felt a strange feeling, like something was pulling her back.

"No, please... Don't call me back.... I've finally found a place where I could sleep without nightmares... no...."

Raven opened her eyes. Her teammate were taking her somewhere, somewhere where she couldn't rest. She tried to free herself from the hands of her teammate, but she was too weak, and she just moved a bit.

A voice far far ago said "She moved! Hurry up!"

"It's already too late for me, it had always been too late for me" thought Raven. She breathed unwilling. The air was cold, like her body, but her mind was warm, and confused. On one side, her body wanted to live, he was seeking out desperately life, but on the other side, her mind was so tired, and would have liked to sleep for years.

"Please friends, let me go, here... Or, if you want under that tree... I want breath for the last time the sweet air of December, the air which makes me so isolated, while I'm searching for someone who will finally understand me... Please, let me die, let me vanish... I wanna go into the air and combine my solitude with the one of all the people who died before me... Let me go!" Raven wanted to shout those words, but nothing came from her mouth. Slowly, the world around here became dark.
