Mmmkay… so my last chapter wasn't that bad. I thought it was ok. But you people like it, and that's what matters. I didn't think I would do as much romance, I know what your thinking: there isn't any. This is my point. Whatever just enjoy chapter nine! I have nine chapters. This is moving faster than I wanted it too. GRRRRRRRR. NOT COOL! Oh well…
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. Man,… it's not fair! If I did though… MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA…
8… Robin's Point of View
I wanted to scream. I wanted to fight against Slade, to reach out and smack him, but he was gone. It was just me and Raven. Alone. Why did this have to happen? If I had just waited…
"Robin quit blaming yourself."
"I can't stop! It's all my fault! If we had just waited then we wouldn't be here!"
"Don't blame yourself."
Her voice was calm, she was right and I knew it. I didn't want to face it though, I was the leader, and I was supposed to defend them. It was our decision…
"We're screwed." My voice was bitter, I hadn't meant for that to come out.
"No we're not, they'll find us…"
"So you don't think we can escape ourselves."
"No."
At least she was honest with me; she could lie to make me feel better. I pushed against the cuffs holding me to the wall. A burn like no other went through my body, shaking me, pain pulsing through my veins. I was shaking violently now, cold… I threw up. Gagging I tried not to scream, not to show weakness.
"ROBIN!" I could hear her voice… so sweet… She was there, her scent… Pain. Pain shook through me, I let out a cry. I didn't hear my cry, which scared me. I tried again.
"SLADE!" My scream pierced through my ears. The pain stopped, and Slade stepped out into the middle of the room.
"Very good Robin, you guessed who it was."
"I thought you left." My words were blunt, they didn't sound like Robin.
"No, I decided I wanted to have fun with my pet birds." Slade said, he turned to Raven. "Now it's you're turn."
"DON'T TOUCH HER!"
"She is not worth my touch."
I shifted to try to look at Raven. She didn't look scared, it was more of an anger radiating off her. I turned back to Slade, who smiled slyly. "Do you know what you just experienced Robin?" He asked me.
Pain.
Don't say that, it will only bring you more.
I won't.
"You don't know then?"
"No." I said stiffly.
"On the back of your neck there is a wire that I attached. It is linked directly to you're nervous system, so you feel whatever I command. You're lovely Raven has one too, so all of those burning sensations were my fault. Now, I think it is Raven's turn."
"Never." I said through gritted teeth, she would never experience that… the pain pulsing through me.
"Oh, then I'll have some fun." Slade pulled out a knife. He grinned maliciously and cut down Raven's right arm.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" I let out the cry this time.
We're connected, this will hurt you as much as it does me.
You just felt all that I felt?
Yes.
It wouldn't be long before Slade figured this out. I looked at my arm, there was a cut there now, long and jagged, blood pouring out of it. Smaller ones were forming around it, Slade was cutting Raven now. I felt something scratch against my neck, not hitting the vein in it.
Raven…
Yes?
You're here.
Yes I am Robin, I always will be.
"I think that is enough cutting." I felt Slade look at me. A devilish grin played across his face. "So it seems you share feelings. How is THIS?"
An unreal pain ripped through my body, emotions like I had never felt, hate, sorrow, anger, angst, tore me apart. Then the sensations started, a cold like no other, ripping across my skin, a burn like I had never felt before pulsed through my veins, I cried in agony. Or was it Raven? I couldn't tell anymore. I wondered what was worse, this or death. The latter sounded much more promising. I wasn't about to give in to Slade. I heard his laughter, or was it his, it was high pitched, to high pitched for Slade.
"I am complete master."
Terra.
"Good, I need you to watch over the Titans, send Aqualad."
"Yes Master."
"Do you think that is enough for them?"
"No master."
"Go to the Titans tower, make sure they do not find out anything about this."
"Yes master."
Terra was gone.
"Not enough." Slade smiled, a deranged smile. He picked up a bow staff, pressing a button it lit on fire. I felt it press against my skin, again, and again. Relentlessly beating me, or maybe Raven… I didn't know anymore, all I could feel was a cold creeping through me, I went unconscious. The last thing I heard was: Stay strong Robin. We can make it. Raven's mind went black too.
Well forgive me, but that was short. I'm sorry, I just felt I had to end it there. I think in the next chapter I will do something back at the Titans tower, but I don't know. This may end soon- but do not fear- I sense a sequel! –hears groans- What? You don't want one? FINE THEN! Ok… I need some more ideas, WRITERS BLOCK! CURSE YOU WRITERS BLOCK. DIE DIE DIE! Ok… I think this is kind of a weird chapter, sorry for no romance, if you can call what I write romance. Maybe I should make up for it? Tell me what you think! Adios for now…
