Chapter 8: Loosing Them
The Titans lifted boulders, chucking them away as they dug deeper and deeper. They didn't speak, for there was no need for it now. Beast Boy seemed to want to say something to cheer himself up, but then he saw the looks on their faces and turned away. Even now, he wouldn't do it. Cyborg kept his mouth shut. Raven wasn't complaining as she lifted rubble away. It was as though their voices had gone, died with Dr. Garth. But they felt worse.
"It's been five hours." The words making Raven and Beast Boy look up at Cyborg. "And there's been no sign of them."
"Don't say that." Beast Boy whispered. Cyborg felt angry.
"What I am supposed top say? Say the lies and try to blind you with them?" He retorted.
"Enough!" Raven's voice shattered. "We agreed that we would carry on searching until we know for good."
"Isn't this enough for you, Rae? We've looked for five straight hours."
"They still could be in there! Further down!" Beats Boy exclaimed. They all looked away and began again, BB looking tearful as he shifted more and more rock.
Robin sat there, cradling Starfire like a piece of glass. He breathing was getting harsh, so was his. He looked up and heard the sound of voices.
"RAVEN! BEAST BOY! CYBORG!" The voices stopped and then muffled yells could be heard.
"Robin! Is that you?"
"Yes, help us!"
Suddenly there was a gasp and light shone through.
"Thank god we found you!"
"Great, but we need to get out of..." There was suddenly a rumble and the rubble shifted. Robin couldn't help but stare in horror as the stone fell down, toward him and the injured Starfire.
Damn me and my cliffies. The next chapter will be on in minute. And may I warn all Starfire lovers, it's not going to be happy.
