Ok, I wrote some more after I added my other chapter. This gets a little
more interesting, not all sad and all like the other chapter. More
plotting, more action...kind of. Well, I hope you enjoy! I worked really
hard on this chapter so review!

Cy made breakfast silently.
Suddenly, a tree fell over. Raven muttered, "Sorry..."
Beast Boy tried to smile and he said, "No problem. We all make mistakes."
Sarah came out of the forest. "I saw a tree fall over. Thought it was you. I don't think I'll be going back there."
No one even cracked a smile.
Robin came out of the cave and glanced at his teammates. They were all hurting as much as him. Suddenly, he knew what he should do.
He sat on one of the logs and said, "Remember the time Star drank mustard, thinking it was a drink?"
Cy looked confused but said, "Yeah, that was...weird."
Beast Boy glanced at both of them and blurted out, "Robin, I thought you would get all mad if we mentioned her name and now you're bringing back memories of her?" Raven slapped him.
Robin said quietly,, "Not talking about it doesn't help. Talking about it will make me feel better."
Raven nodded and said, "I remember Star talking to me when I was trying to mediate." She went quiet and she whispered, "I always thought of her annoying when she did that. Now she's...gone, I think I'm going to miss her and it won't feel the same to mediate without her trying to get me to talk."
Beast Boy nodded. "We all kind of...pushed her out of our world. But it didn't seem to matter to her. She must have been real nice just to put up with that all the time."
All the Titans fell silent, remembering the moments with Star, both good and bad.
Sarah spoke up, "Although I didn't know her long, I think she must have been real lucky to have friends like you. And she must have been super nice to put up with you all!"
They laughed, the first time ever since Star had died.
Beast Boy said while laughing, "I once, accidentally, hit her with a balloon filled with oil and she called me, a, uh...she called me a...uh..."
Raven said, "A Klor-Back Varbler Nelk."
Beast Boy nodded. "Yeah, that. But you got to admit, that was one of the best tricks ever! Even though I was aiming for Cyborg..."
Continuing, one after the other told a story about what Star did or what Star said and all of them laughing.
* * *
She shook her head. "No," was the reply. "Whatever it is, no."
Slade grinned. "Doesn't matter whether you want to or not. If you don't, then the Titans will never know that you were alive all this time while they were mourning for you."
She looked up. "They...they think I'm dead?"
Slade nodded. "Look for yourself if you don't believe me." A screen appeared behind Slade. Star watched as her friends told things she had done and what she had said. She heard Beast Boy talk about the time he had played that awful trick on her, even though he was aiming for Cy.
Her eyes welled up with tears. They were...laughing. They thought she was dead and they were laughing about old times? Star felt a stab of hurt.
Slade laughed. "Yes, Starfire, they don't care. They're happy you're dead. They wanted you to die. Everything, them being nice and friendly to you, it was all an act. They don't like you."
Starfire gazed down at the ground, not wanting to believe what she was hearing. But was it true?
She then heard Robin then say, "Remember when you two were transported into Raven's mind? She kept asking me over and over again if we could check on you, Raven, and I kept telling her no. But she wouldn't quit asking."
The Titans laughed and her vision blurred. "They don't care," she whispered.
Meanwhile, Slade had left and he was in a different room, laughing. He didn't except that to happen but now, he used it to his advantage. He knew that they were all mourning and just remembering her but he had made it seem like they were mocking her. Things were going better than he expected.
He then decided he should do it without Star. Make it much more painful. He turned off the screen that showed the Titans and told the robots to watch Starfire.
He then contacted the Titans.
* * *
Robin heard his communicator beeped and his heart leaped and one name came to his mind: Starfire. He immediately activated it but instead of seeing the emerald, green eyes he saw the cold eyes of Slade.
Slade talked before he could, "Hello Robin. I see you all are dealing with the fact Starfire is gone very well."
Robin's grip on the communicator tightened and he managed to say through clenched teeth, "You ripped her away from us. You took an innocent life for your own purposes. You are a—"
Slade held up a hand. "I don't think we should be calling each other names. Especially if I have something you love."
Robin felt his hand go cold. "What? You took what I love already."
Slade said, "What if I told you she was very much alive and with me right now?" Robin said, "I wouldn't believe you."
Slade sighed. "No trust. Very well then, you want to see her? Here."
Suddenly, a picture of Starfire huddled in a corner crying was there. Tears rolled down her cheek and down onto the cold, concrete floor.
Robin's heart leaped. Alive! He wanted to dance for joy. "Let me talk to her," he demanded.
Slade appeared, replacing Starfire. "Sorry, can't do that."
Robin yelled, "LET HER GO SLADE AND TAKE ME!"
Slade shook his head. "Now, why would I do that? Look, you're all mourning over the girl. Maybe she's the piece that if remove, the rest fall too. But, I do propose a deal. Meet me back on the top of the mountain where we last fought at sunset. We'll let Starfire choose."
Robin stared. Had he gone mad? Of course Starfire would come back with him!
Robin nodded. "Deal."
Slade nodded too. He said, "Oh and one more thing. That poison that you cured? Well, when Starfire was sleeping, I re-injected some more. She'll die at exactly sunset in two days. I added some more poison so that it moves faster but she doesn't feel a thing until the final stage. So tomorrow, at sunset, if you don't get her back, she'll be gone forever, this time for real." The screen went blank.
Robin stood and looked across the valley, next to the forest. I'll find you Star. I promise you that I'll get you back.
* * *
Slade enjoyed another drink. There was no way Robin could win. First, Starfire was hurt. She wasn't going back anytime soon to them. And if she did, he could always shoot some more poison to make the process of killing her faster. This was perfect. Soon, Robin would be his and the girl would be used as bait if he ever tried to disobey him.
Slade laughed, delighted. There was no way he would lose.

Ok! That's all for now! Sorry! Don't hurt me! Now, please update, I worked really hard on this chapter and I want to know if this is a good chapter or a bad one. I'm going to go write some more and probably update tomorrow. No promises! Now, review! Oh, and sorry it's so short. Oh, and questions that I hope will get answer, I can't seem to get my words slanted. I tried the Italic on Microsoft but nothing works! Please tell me in your review (you're going to review...right?) how you do it!
