Chapter 2: swallowed up by death
Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans, but I do own Skye (read "washing away the dirt" to find out who she is), René, and trinity (they'll show up soon).
Raven walked into the living room quietly, eyeing Starfire and robin. Who were watching old reruns of some weird show (if you really care to know just ask me).
"Starfire you should be resting" raven said
"Fine" Starfire muttered unhappily, but she wasn't in the mood for an argument.
"I'll carry you back" robin suggested
"No I want to walk" Starfire said
"But...." Robin started
"Please robin." Starfire begged giving him the puppy dog look.
"Oh, fine" robin said giving in
He walked alongside her to her room, and gently closed the door when he left.
The next morning after breakfast:
Starfire walked over to the couch and sat down next to robin.
"Robin?" Starfire said
"Yea?" robin asked kind of sadly
"The way you all are acting is as if I'm dead, but I promise you I will live" Starfire announced
Robin avoided her eyes and nodded slowly.
"You don't believe me do you?" Starfire asked her tone soft, but sad.
"I'm sorry star, but the doctors are normally right" Robin trembled
"Tameranians are different" Starfire insisted
"For the most part you're the same and like the doctor said unless they find your blood type and do a few more operations you wont make it" Robin choked on the words; each one hitting him like a thousand bricks. When suddenly Starfire collapsed.
In the emergency room:
"Doctor unless we can find the blood now she's not going to pull through" the nurse called to the doctor while racing around.
"Nurse is there any o blood type?" the doctor yelled back
"No, we need a donor now!" the nurse called
"Are any of the other patience o type?" the doctor called
"No" the nurse replied from the computer down the long white hall
"Do any of you happen to be blood type o?" the doctor asked the titans
He got a no from Cyborg, raven, and Beast boy, then they all glanced at robin who looked very pale.
"I don't know what I am" robin admitted quietly
"Doctor there's no one else and it's too late to call anyone in time" the nurse sadly explained
"Come on sunny" the doctor said
"But what if I have the wrong blood type?" Robin queried
"You're her only hope" the doctor answered pulling robin in a small off-white room.
"I would hate myself if it didn't work" Robin said
"But" the doctor replied "you would hate yourself even more if you didn't even try"
The doctor put on some gloves and called to the nurse "René, I need a needle please"
"Sure thing doc." René answered handing him a needle.
"This wont hurt too much" the doctor explained jabbing robin's arm with the shot and drawing out some blood.
"Rene, take this to the operating room where a patient named Starfire is." The doctor instructed
"Okay" René said
Then Robin mumbled "let's just hope it works"
Later:
"Rene" the doctor said walking out of the operating looking unhappy.
"Yes" Rene answered looking up from some paper work.
"She can't be saved....tell those kids for me." The doctor explained sadly
René broke the news to the other titans who didn't take it very well.
"NO!" Robin shouted getting frustrated "You will save her; you have to!"
"No there's nothing more we can do. Your friend has just moments left to live and there is no more help we can give her." The nurse/receptionist (René) explained
The doctor walked in the room with a message.
"René, your wanted on the phone. Don't worry I can take it from here" the doctor said
"Okay" René said exiting the room
"Can I see Starfire?" robin asked
"No, I'm sorry but we only allow family to visit" the doctor said
"Bull shit!" robin yelled losing his temper, shoving the doctor aside, and running into Starfire's room.
Robin walked to Starfire's bedside and scooped her up in his arms. He sat down on the edge of the bed placing her in his lap.
"Starfire" robin whispered in her ear "Starfire please wake up."
"R-robin?" Starfire said in a weak shaky voice
"Yea" he said
"I'm sorry; sorry I lied, but I can't keep my promise" Starfire apologized
"No star" Robin pleaded "you'll be all right; you just have to. For my sake"
"I'm sorry Robin" Starfire said again
"I fixed your necklace" Robin mumbled placing the necklace in her palm.
"Thank you Robin, I love you" Starfire managed to choke out, but her words were getting weaker.
"I love you to star, so you just can't die." Robin trembled
Softly she pulled him into one last kiss before speaking her last words.
"Never forget me" Starfire said her words just barely above a whisper, then her heart rate slowed to a stop.
"Starfire?" Robin queried, fear creeping into his voice "star no!"
"Robin, she's gone" the doctor said
"She can't be gone" Robin said cradling her lifeless body, tears pouring down his face.
Robin got up and gently laid the body on the bed.
"You ass hole! Why didn't you save her? I know you could've done something!" Robin shouted his anger overflowing.
"Now Robin, you don't have a PHD; so what do you know about being a doctor?" the doctor said his voice calm but also a bit edgy.
Without warning Robin raced out of the building, out into the pouring rain, to the park.
"I need a sign that she's alright......anything" Robin said to no in particular
Meanwhile high in the clouds:
"Mommy?" a childish voice asked
"Skye...is it you?" Starfire said in an uneven voice (you know how if you've been crying for a while and your voice doesn't sound right when you try to speak)
"Yea, but what are you doing here?" Skye asked
"I died, I think" Starfire said
Skye hugged Starfire to try and comfort her.
"Trinity will sort everything out" Skye said with confidence
"Trinity?" Starfire asked uncertain who that was
"You'll see" Skye said
Back where Robin was:
Suddenly loud bells started ringing and the area became covered in mist. The mist was a silver color, and very thick (thick as pea soup lol). Robin saw a figure stating to approach him.
"Who are you?" Robin said in a worried tone
Sorry but I need to cliffy it once in a while and today's just one of those days. I'll update ASAP. Tell me what you think so far, just to tell you I love twists and this will have a happy ending (if you want it to, if you don't just tell me).
