Ok… well it seems there is going to be a sequel. I'm having fun with this, so I'm glad you people like it! So that means this story is going to end soon. BUT before you groan, keep in mind: sequel. I don't know what to call it, so you'll have to give me ideas, it may just be Hatreds Cost II. Kind of boring, but I may just have to do it. But anyways, forgive me for lack of Raven/Robin stuff, they're together, that's all that matters for now, seeing as they are both stuck on a wall right now, they can't exactly kiss or whatever. So… oh well just enjoy the chapter!
10… Raven's P.O.V.
I screamed just before I went unconscious, I heard Robin scream too, and he too faded away. I remembered something, this was a good sign. I looked over at the boy wonder, he was still unconscious. Slade. The thought hit me. He wasn't here… he would be soon, I knew it. I could feel it. I looked down at my arms, both were matted with blood, jagged cuts tearing down them. Burn marks were everywhere, all over my legs, my arms, I could feel some on my neck. Part of my uniform was torn, so my stomach was exposed. Great… this shows enough as it is. I frowned and sighed. How can I be sarcastic at a time like this? This may be your last time to be sarcastic. Anger? Yes. It will not be my last time, Robin and I will make it through. I was sure of it.
MEANWHILE AT THE TOWER…"Where ARE they?" Cyborg growled at Terra. "This is the LAST time!"
"I do not know! They're in love, obviously they wanted to get away!" Terra shrieked.
"Let her go Cyborg, please." Beast Boy said, his voice was sad and tired. He was confused, part of him wanted to help Terra, the other past his friends.
"Friend Cyborg, please, do not hurt Terra." Starfire was begging, she did not want to see pain… not again.
"NO!" Cyborg had never been so angry. He was screaming now. Starfire ran out of the room, leaving Beast Boy, and Cyborg to deal with Terra, she didn't want to see it, she couldn't see it. She ran to her room and threw herself on her bed.
"THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!" Starfire screamed at herself. She stood up and walked to her mirror. "If you hadn't been so jealous, then Raven could have convinced you otherwise about letting Terra in! If you had just moved on… just accepted." She glared at her reflection. "I HATE YOU! What would Raven say to me now? She would agree… wouldn't she?" She looked at her reflection more, it seemed to be shaking its head. "She wouldn't? No? There is hope for me?" Starfire smiled at herself. "Maybe I am not so useless… I will find them!" She ran to the living room, Cyborg was stilling screaming at Terra, Beast Boy was just a green blob on the couch, unsure of what to do with himself.
"Friends…" Starfire begin. She knew what she had to do, she knew she had to find Robin and Raven, she knew they didn't hate her, she knew…
BACK WITH ROBIN AND RAVEN IN RAVEN'S P.O.V.
"Robin?" I looked at him, he was starting to move.
"Raven, you're ok."
"Yes."
"So the birds are awake?" Slade smiled, a shiver went down my spine. "Well… Last night went well don't you think?"
We both knew we couldn't nod, or disagree, we just hung there in silence.
"No answer? Fine. We'll settle this later, right now I have to go meet up with someone… important." Slade disappeared out the door.
"I'm so thirsty." Robin's voice was raspy, he sounded exausted.
"Yes… We'll get out of here, don't worry, for now just hang on." I said, he nodded. "Go to sleep." I told him.
"Allright." He began to nod off.
We were weak, I knew it, and he knew it. We both knew we wouldn't be getting out of here on our own. We needed the Titans, but the Titans wouldn't come, and if they did, it would be too late. We both knew we weren't going to die, Slade wouldn't waste his time on that. No, we were going to be his apprentices unless we escaped. I shuddered. I won't be able to fight him, if I can't Robin can't. Growling in frustration I yanked against the chains. It was no use, my wrists began to bleed, very lightly. I glanced at Robin's wrists, they too bled, red tears trickling from the wound. It fascinated me, the blood. Shocked at my thought, I hung my head down in disgrace. Insanity screaming in my head, Anger wanting to kill, Depression at Insanity's side. Any emotion that I needed was hidden…
Meanwhile in some dark ally Aqualad and Slade meet…"Yes master." Aqualad's voice was hollow and empty, echoing in the ally.
"Good, you can help Terra lead the Titans away from Raven and Robin, this will be perfect, eventually they will all be mine, then the city… then the world."
"Yes master."
Aqualad headed towards the Titan tower. Slade went back to the warehouse. He glanced at the sun sinking into the horizon. Blood red, perfect for the blood that will be shed. He took one last look at it, then turned away, smiling he headed back to the warehouse.
Back with Raven and Robin…
"Raven?"
I turned to look at Robin. Yes?
What time is it? Thanks for not talking, I need water…
Yes, we're both dehydrated. I don't know what time it is but I'm assuming it's late, the sun is almost done setting.
"Ah, good the birds held up."
"Slade." Robin's voice was almost a whisper.
"Yes. Now it is time. You are both weak." Slade smiled. "This went better than I expected.
At the Titan's Tower
"What do you mean you know where they are?" Cyborg turned to face Aqualad, who had just come running into the living room.
"They –gasp- are –gasp- in –gasp- a warehouse on the other –gasp- side of –gasp- town!"
"Lead us there!" Cyborg said, "COME ON!" He beckoned to the Titans, they all jumped into the T-Car, at Aqualad's direction they headed to where they believed Raven and Robin to be.
Warehouse with Raven and Robin"…Time for you to become my apprentices!" Slade smiled. "It will be easy, you will both become mine!" He turned to stare at us.
NEVER! Robin thought.
A wall, build a barrier against him. We tried brick, Slade began to weaken it.
Something else! Robin sounded desperate.
We are too weak. I had never wanted to cry before, but now I just wanted to give up and weep.
My apprintices.
I LOVE YOU ROBIN.
I LOVE YOU RAVEN.
NEVER FORGET IT!
NEVER!
Mine.
"Master." We said in unision.
"Yes." Slade was grinning. He turned to the door. "YOU'RE TOO LATE!" I noticed people, standing there, shocked. I found myself smiling at two of them, one a blonde girl, and one a tall man with black hair. The two I smiled at stepped over to our side.
"I win." Slade is triumphant. The group at the door seems to understand, but they do not leave without a fight. I smile lazily, at my masters command I fire at them.
"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!" The green one is unconcious before he can even do anything. I laugh at him, laying against the wall. I turn to the girl with red hair, she fires green at me. I say my words again, she is weakened, but does not give up. I hear a crash, for a moment I am distracted, but it is just the one with black hair, he had fallen to the ground. I turn back to my target, she seems confused. I fire at her. She is against the wall with the green one. I feel power inside me. We turn to the metal man, with one shot he is too weak to fight back.
"I'll deal with you later." He says, and is gone, carrying the green one, and the orange one with him.
"Good." Slade is smiling. I turn to my master.
"Yes."
"You will all train tommorow, for now, we plan against them, they will fight."
They will fight. The words echoed in my mind useless to me. I knew they would fight, I knew that I would win.
Well, there you go. It's over. THE END! Or so you think… I will begin working on my sequel right after I post this! As soon as the first chapter is done- POOF I will have Hatreds Cost II. Or maybe Hatreds Payment. Heh heh, I like the second one, it's funny. Well, tell me which one, or another title entirely. Oh, and review the chapter too, I think it went a little fast but… I want to start on the sequel. It's gonna rock! Maybe… Well the plot will, maybe not the writing. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. So…
