I can't believe I all ready have, like, 55 reviews for this story. (Or, at least that's what I think). I know that a lot of you are catching on to what I'm planning to do, but if you do, please don't spoil it. (Party-poopers) I love leaving you guys with a cliffhanger, but, I can't keep my self away for that long. Please don't be mad that I leave cliffhangers though, I just love using em'! Anyway, on with the SHOW!

Richard woke up with a smile the next day. Once he opened his eyes to the sunlight grazing trough the blinds, he sat up with an energized jerk. He stretched his arms above his head, and looked at the clock. "Only 7:30, not bad," he said as he got out of bed.

He looked over at Thea, but there was no one there. He shrugged, figuring that she must have gotten up earlier. He went into the bathroom, and took a shower, then washed his clothes.

When he went back into the room, he saw that she still wasn't back, and yet it was almost 9. He walked over to her bed, and saw a very small blue cloth lying on the comforter. He traced the threads over with his fingers. Even though he thought it couldn't be, he did it anyway. What a stupid idea that was.

He lifted the cloth up to his nose, and inhaled deeply. He head then began to swim. H got dizzy, and the last thing he saw was the underneath of his bed.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Richard awoke groggy this time. He shook his head to wake himself up. Looking down at the blue cloth that had been gripped in his hand so tightly it left impressions, he remembered. THEA!

He jumped up fast. He walked over toward the door, only to see that the lock had been burned off, making it easy for anyone to get into the room.

He gulped, then headed out the door. He walked briskly to the first room, which was Kori's room. Looking around, he called, "Kori? Are you in here?"

There was absolutely nothing; not even a peep. He looked under the bed. "Kori, I know you're in here somewhere," he shouted, but the only thing he heard was his own echo.

He turned the bathroom doorknob. Walking in, he saw nothing but a filled bath tub. Reaching his hand in, the water was ice cold.

"Someone was about to use this," he said to himself. He wlaked out, and looked around again. He then went to the closet, and opened the door. He then stopped short.

He couldn't believe it. Reaching out, he grabbed the hand of the girl he had loved.

He felt tears well up in his eyes. He stared at the body hanging from the rope by her neck. Her lips were blue. He then shut the door, on her, and on his ever being able to speak to Kori Anders again, for now, she was dead. (Thought it was Thea, there for a while, didn't ya? Yeah, I knew some of you would)

He stormed out of the room. The only one left was Mark. He slammed the door open. Mark was now guilty of all of the murders, for killing Aqualad, Kyle, Terra, Kali, Kitten, Gar, T'Keyah, Kori, and hopefully for attempted murder with Thea.

He walked into the very dark room. Stepping slowly in, his breath caught in his throat because of what he saw .Mark was standing over Thea, who was tied to the bedposts in the shape of an X. A large piece of masking tape was over mouth.

Mark laughed manically, as he pulled out a small surgical needle, filled with some brown liquid. Thea opened her eyes widely, and then began turning her wrists again. Richard looked at the large red area of rope burn on them.

Mark squirted some of the liquid out. It looked like a form of iced tea. Thea stared at it with large eyes. She knew that that was something she did not want injected into her veins. "It's a barbiturate. Now, if you move around to much, I can miss the correct spot, and it will kill you, but if you're good and don't move, it will all be over soon. Remember, relax goddess," he said with an evil smile on his face.

Thea struggled more. "He's-he's going to rape me again. Oh no, I will not let him do that," she thought to herself. She then heard something by the door. She nonchalantly turned her head, and saw Richard. Her eyes lit up. He motioned for her to be quiet. Her eyes then became calm and focused again. That is, until Mark shoved the needle into her thigh.

She squinted her eyes. It felt like he had just shot her with a nail gun! Richard stopped. "Oh shit," he said to himself.

It took a few moments, but it began to work. Thea began to feel warm and sleepy all over. She felt her heart began to slow down, and then everything around seemed to be in slow motion.

Richard watched her with so much pain in his heart. He couldn't tolerate watching her. He didn't want to say, but he now realized that- that he loved her more then he ever had.

He stopped as soon as he saw he head flop back limp. The rage then began to build up inside of him like fire. He ran from the shadows and knocked Mark off his feet.

Mark looked up at the ex-Boy Wonder on top of him. "If you ever come within 20 feet of her, I will crush your windpipe to dust." He said as he jumped off of him. Mark shrank back, terrified of the angriest person he had ever seen.

Richard walked over to the dead-to-the-world girl and began to untie her ropes. Once she gracefully fell on to the bed, he lifted her up bridal style. Her head gently flopped ont his shoulder.

He turned to Mark. "I'll be back later to arrest you for 8 counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder." He said as he shut the door.

When they got back into their room, he laid her on the bed. He then pulled up a chair, and sat next to her, waiting for her to wake up.

Richard felt someone muss his hair up. He tried to swat the hand away, but it knocked onto his head. He sat up, and found himself face-to-face with Thea. He sat up abruptly.

"You're okay?" he asked happily.

She nodded. Her smile then disappeared off of her face. "Richard, I-I need to ask you a question. How come Kori didn't overhear any of this?" she said softly.

Richard cleared his throat. "I went into Kori's room this morning, and found her in a closet. She had been hung around midnight."

Thea's eyes widened. "How? Richard, Mark was in the room the entire night. He kidnapped me at 11:00. He never left the room after."

Richard stopped. "There's no one else that could have killed all of them. Besides, he tried to kill you." Richard said.

Thea shook her head quickly. "Although Mark is a horrid man, he loves me, and he would never try to kill me. He was trying to rape me again," she said softly, staring at her hands.

Richard stopped. He placed a hand on her arm. "I know this is upsetting you, and this also saddened me, because I was about to lose it when I saw him do that to you, but I need you to think about it. If he loved you, would he rape you? He's the killer, Thea, and now we go arrest him." He said. He grabbed her hand and helped her up.

She placed her hands on his and looked into his eyes. "Thank you, Richard, for all that you have done for me. But…I would like to face Mark first. I'm just asking you to wait outside, until I'm done with him," she said with a small scowl on her face.

Richard gave a small smirk. The old Raven was still inside of her. He just had to get it out somehow. They walked down the hallway to Mark's room.

Thea took a deep breath, and then turned the knob. She walked in slowly. Richard leaned against the wall, hoping to hear something, but nothing happened.

"Richard," Thea called from inside of the room. Richard walked in. Thea looked at him with wide eyes, and pointed to the ground. Mark lay there with a pillow over his face.

Richard walked over and pulled it off. Mark's eyes were open, and frightened. "He killed himself," Richard said.

Thea's hand rose to her mouth. She then shook her head. On the wall it said, "I will be coming for the rest."

Richard looked at his arms, legs and back. There were no cuts, not even a scrape.

Thea placed a hand on his shoulder. "Richard, we're locked in, and we're the only ones left. Neither of us murdered them, so, who did?" she said softly.

Well, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed it, and yes, we are reaching the end. It's so sad. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and if you did, please gimme some feedback!
