A/N: Hey people! Thanks for all those reviews. Some people wanted to know about Raven. Don't worry! She's fine if you count out the sickness. Please R&R.

Chapter 10 Jak of Half-Moon

Robin slowly opened his eyes with a moan of pain. His head was pounding and he was sore all over his body. It took him a few seconds to figure out what happened before he had blacked out. There had been a crack in the wall. Slade and Mika were talking and Mika said that she did not want hurt anyone. Maybe she could turn good after all. MAYBE!

Robin sat up and had to stop from going too fast or he would see stars. He was back to the lab place where he used to be, but it was dark and the only light came from a lantern next to Slade who was reading something in a wooden chair next to the door. Robin was not escaping any time soon.

"Have a nice sleep?" Slade asked while still deeply looking at a page in the old book.

Robin just moaned for an answer. Slade seemed fine with it though. He nodded and flipped the page. After a long time of complete silence Robin slowly got to his feet. Slade did not even glance over at him. Robin tried to take a few steps, but his feet were still numb for some reason. He quickly held onto a rock table and sat on it. Slade looked at him for a few seconds then went back to his book.

Robin was dieing to find out what the book was about. "What you reading?" Robin finally asked and pointed over at Slade.

Slade slammed the book closed with a thump and looked up at Robin and answered, "It has no title."

"Has any information about our sickness?" Robin asked and watched carefully as Slade pulled out an iron set of keys from his belt. Robin memorized the exact pocked he took it out of. "Where did you get the keys?"

"It has no information," Slade said while throwing the book at Robin, who caught it with ease. "I found the keys in the library where your friend is." He then left Robin to himself.

Raven was having a hard time not falling asleep. The library was huge, but she found the thing that she wanted really quickly. The library was a huge round room that was at least three stories high with bookcases around the whole place. Ladders lead up to all the books and two tables were in the middle of the room where Raven was seated.

She was looking over a diary of a person she had to know about. It was this strange monk who seemed to be popping out of nowhere now and then. It was Jak of Half-Moon. She kept reading. It said...

The sickness is hitting everyone now. The monks of Half-Moon are not going to last very long. I have to find the cure. I'm so close to finding it, but it is either break my promise and save my people, or die with them. A half moon does not come out till two more weeks! I can't go out while there is no half moon, or I would be banished by the monks. The cure is out there, but I have to wait two weeks. Most people will be dead by then. I have to wear the leaders down some how, or the monks of Half-Moon or going to be dead.

Raven still got no information about the whole star business, but she knew why the monks died and how they knew about a cure. She had to read on.

I'm breaking so many rules tonight. If the leaders catch me I will never be able to be a monk again. I hope they don't see me. I'm leaving the monastery even though it is not at a half moon out there. I'm going through the hole in the wall in my lab and going through the stain-glass. The tunnel is the only way to the surface that I know of right now. I sure hope that they don't catch me. They could either kill me or banish me. They do not get it that I'm trying to help them. I just hope that I'm not going to be too late to rescue them.

Raven smiled as she found her answer. The stain-glass with the half moon and star next to it had to be the answer. There was a star on it. Maybe there was a tunnel there and that would leave up to land. And then the map said something about a flower. That had to be the cure. Jak had to have found the cure, but it must have been too late.

There was a sound behind Raven and she turned around and saw Slade come in from the door. He slipped the keys into his belt, but it was a different place he put it the last time. He had no pattern with putting away the keys. There was no hope there anymore for her.

"Find anything?" he asked her and came up to her table.

"I know what the star means now," Raven answered. "Jak clearly has it here." She pointed to the diary and Slade read. They were another step to finding the cure.

A/N: Sorry if this kills you, but this is where I leave the chapter off. Cliffhangers are the only way for me to stop a chapter and it makes people want to read more, so they give reviews. So send one to me! It makes me get done with chapters faster. Hope you liked the chapter.
