Chapter 6: the terrible truth

"Mommy?" Skye said waking Starfire up.
"Hmmm" Starfire mumbled sleepily
"What's today?" Skye asked
"The 21st why?" Starfire said
"No reason.....just wondering" Skye said
'21st already? Crap one day left. I know what I need to do and I must act quickly' Skye thought worriedly
Breakfast:
When Robin and Starfire weren't looking Skye slipped a pink powder into their drinks. 'This should help things go faster' Skye thought smiling. 'But it will take about 3 hours to start showing any symptoms'
Breakfast went by fairly quickly, considering Cyborg and Beast boy shoveled down their food, and the others left to avoid a food fight between the meat and veggies. Around 10:00 Robin felt something turn over in his stomach and he felt something change.
"Starfire?" Robin called in a failed attempt to find her as he looked through all the rooms in the tower. He found her sitting on the roof just watching the clouds roll by.
"Starfire....I have to tell you that I love you." Robin said not knowing what words had just come out of his mouth. The next thing he knew Starfire was in his arms saying she loved him too. Skye stood in the shadows watching them thinking 'I have to leave now. I've got to go!'
"Mommy!" Skye called later around 5:00pm "can we go to the cemetery?"
"Um...why?" Starfire asked puzzled
"I have to go it's the two year anniversary of my family's death." Skye said a tear running down her small, pale cheek.
"Sure we can all go" Raven said she felt that something important would happen there, something that would change their lives greatly.
"Skye what's your last name?" Starfire asked Skye in the car on the way to the cemetery.
"Artzing" Skye sniffed sadly
When they got to the cemetery and Skye showed them the area in which her family's headstones were. After a bit of searching Cyborg found it, but there were four headstone's for the family. Starfire turned pale, and pointed at one of the headstones.
"That-that's you-your headstone, but you not dead." Starfire stuttered
"I am, it's a long story but I have until sunset which is in about fifteen minutes" Skye said
"That's impossible!" Raven replied
"No" Skye shook her head sadly "it's not. I was on that miserable train when it crashed, what is impossible is ways of escape, but I thought you could've figured that out. I was killed like many, but my spirit was never at peace so I was allowed to complete my final mission, I chose a case that my mother had been working on, quite a cheery little case it seemed, but it was harder than it looked and I was almost at the point of fairer when I remembered the truth powder I had obtained to help me if things weren't going that well. I was given two years, one to live on the street and make sure that was the case I wanted and one to complete my mission, but I fell behind schedule and had only a month to get you two together." Skye explained sadly.
"What's going to happen now?" Beast boy asked
"Now I leave. All of my kind has been long since wiped out except my evil aunt Amelia, so dream interpreters like me have no place here" Skye said smiling
"We're really going to miss you." Robin said
"I will miss you all too, but it is time I returned to my home in the clouds." Skye called disappearing as sun dipped below the trees.
The end.
Well what do you think? Oh and about the word she was saying in the last chapter: haaveellinen means dreams in Finnish (you know Finland the country). I hope you didn't get too attached to Skye because she had to go. Did the ending surprise you? Review if you feel up to it. Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
