Chapter 8- Life and Death

Blackfire and Dove backed away as Starfire charged at them. "How did she break out of the chains, Blackie?" Dove asked. "I don't know," Blackfire replied, "but we'll take her down just the same!"

"HAH!" Starfire hurled a starbolt at them. Blackfire back flipped out of it's way. Then, she started firing starbolts of her own. "Necronome hezberak mortyx!" Dove shouted. A black hand grasped Starfire and squeezed her. "Ah!" She screamed. Then, her eyes glew greener then they ever had before. "Let...me...GO!" A starbolt surrounded her entire body and it knocked the hand away. "Ow!" Dove said. "I thought that wouldn't hurt you?" Blackfire asked. "It usually doesn't because people don't break out of the magic!" Dove replied, "But your sister actually broke out of it!"

"I am stronger then I look," Starfire said. She flew up and came charging down. Blackfire grabbed her arm and swung her on the ground. "How's that, little sister?"

"That did not hurt at all!" Starfire zapped her, sending her flying on top of Raven who suddenly, woke up. "Huh?" She said. Raven looked around. Blackfire was unconscious on the ground, Starfire was standing not that far away looking very angry, her sister standing there in fear, Robin dead on the ground, and Beast Boy...her Beast Boy...dead in a bunch of chemicals. "NO!" She screamed. The chains holding her came off as she stared angrily at her sister. "You...you..." she walked over to her and grabbed her neck. "YOU BITCH!" Raven shouted. She grabbed Dove's neck tighter. Dove was gasping for air. Starfire quickly rushed over and made Raven let go of Dove. "What the hell are you doing Star!" Raven asked. "You cannot kill your sister, and I shall soon tell you why," Starfire said.

She flew over to Blackfire and picked her up by her hair. "However you, older sister...will DIE today!" Starfire's hand glew green. Blackfire quickly spoke up. "Are you sure this is what you really want, Koriand'r?" She asked. Starfire's hand glew a lighter green as she thought about it.

"Forget the flicks, kids," Blackfire said, showing up in Starfire's outfit. "We're going out!"

"We are?" Starfire asked. Blackfire completely ignored her. "Where did you? Are those my?"

"Heard about a party downtown," Blackfire said, "cool crowd. Hot music."

"Yeah!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "I'm in!" Cyborg said. "Why not?" Robin asked. Raven kept reading. "And it's in a creepy, rundown warehouse," Blackfire continued. That got Raven's attention. Starfire watched as they all walked out the door. "Hey sweetie," Blackfire said, "raided your closet. Hope you don't me borrowing your look."

"Why not?" Starfire asked, "You have already borrowed my friends."

"Hello, sister." Starfire said. "Aww, youre mad," Blackfire said, "I know. I should've told you I was leaving but you know how I hate goodbyes and..."

"You are a criminal and you were going to let me take your place in jail."

"Oh. Well...yeah."

"You will give back what you have stolen, and turn yourself over to the police!"

"And what will you do if I don't?"

"Do you wish to do what is right to take this thing to be your husband!" Blackfire exclaimed.

'I do...not!" Starfire said. "Aahhh! TREASON!" Blackfire shouted.

"Besides," Blackfire said, "you'll always be my little sister."

Starfire's hands glew bright green once again. 'Yes! This is what I want!" Blackfire smiled. "Finally, justice is served. Let me die. Your a girl of a word. I'll see you in hell."

Starfire let the starbolt die down until it disappeared. "You are right, sister," she said, "I cannot kill."

"Good girl," Blackfire said, "that was very noble." She put a knife up to her neck. "Stupid, but noble."

"NO!" Raven shouted. "AZERATH METRIONE ZINTHOSS!" The knife was taken out of Blackfire's hands, and straight into Blackfire's chest. "Uh!" Blackfire said as she fell to the ground dead. Starfire was very pale and Dove gasped. Raven's eyes went back to there normal violet color. "I'm sorry," she said. Raven started crying. "You deserve to kill me, Dove," she said, "I deserve it." Dove stood there and Starfire walked over to them. "She cannot kill you, Raven." Starfire said. "And why is that?"

"Dove may hate you, but she cannot kill you. It is against her name. The reason she hates you so much is because you are supposed to bring the end to the world, am I correct?" Dove and Raven nodded. "If you two do not know, Raven means death and Dove means life. Raven will one day bring death to the world, but Dove has the power to give it all life again. You are sisters, but your powers are very different."

"Dove..." Raven began, "why do you want to bring death to people? Your friends? Your home? Your family? Do you think it's fun?"

"No," Dove said, "but I just wanted to please daddy. When you were born, they said you were going to destroy the world and dad was very pleased. But then you disappointed him by saying you don't want to do it. I thought I would please him if I destroyed the world. But my powers won't allow me to do it. So, I guess I started hating you because I was merely jealous of you."

"Dove..." Raven said, putting her hand on her shoulder, "I should be the one jealous of you. So, do you want to act like sisters and friends, or be mortal enemies for the rest of our lives?"

Dove smiled. "I guess it couldn't hurt if we started acting like sisters again." She said. The two hugged each other. Starfire looked at the dead body of her sister. "I am sorry, Komiand'r," she said, "but hell is where you belong. But I do hope you find peace there. But I am sorry you did not become the girl you used to be before you hated me."

Dove looked at Starfire and Raven. Then, both of her hands glew blue and she aimed them for Robin and Beast Boy. Dove started chanting words that even Raven didn't understand and the whole room glew blue. All of a sudden, the two boys lifted their heads. "ROBIN!" Starfire shouted. "BEAST BOY!" Raven exclaimed. They both flew to their loved ones and gave them great, big hugs. Starfire kissed Robin again and again. Raven gave Beast Boy one long kiss. "What happened?" Robin asked. "It's a long story," Raven said, "but the real hero...was my sister Dove."
