Yeah, I'm here. I know many of you were put off by Raven kissing Malchior, but you'll find out what happened in this chapter. Oh, and I finally updated my KND story. HURRAH!

O – O – O – O – O – O

Robin felt like his heart was being sucked straight out of his body. Seeing a girl who had been there so many times for you and you had finally admitted your feelings for each other earlier that night in a lip lock with a wizard who broke her heart and raped her wasn't a very nice sight.

Robin felt like he could not speak. "Raven, w-why?" was all he could get out. Raven pulled away from Malchi0or as she heard the Boy Wonder ask.

She placed her hand on her shapely hip. "Come on Robin. Did you honestly think I would love you when I can be with the first person who actually understood me? Sure, you understand me now more than anyone, but look how long it took you? We've known each other for almost 5 years, and you didn't understand who I actually was until about two weeks ago after the card game. Malchior, he loved me when no one else would," she said with a smile as she placed her arm around Malchior's neck. In return, he wrapped both of his arms around her and brought her into a long deep kiss.

Robin just looked at her. As they broke it, she smiled deviously. "You're not going to cry, are you?" she asked softly.

Robin felt like he was on fire with embarrassment but at the same time he felt like he was freezing from disappointment. He backed up slowly. He took a deep breath.

"Are you coming home with us?" Robin asked.

Raven shook her head. "I'm resigning from the Titians to be with my true love. You understand, don't you?" she said.

"Of course," he said, jaw straining. She then waved her hand as if shooing them away. Robin stormed out followed by Cyborg.

Robin began to walk out after radioing all the people in the small hotel to get out and leave.

"Man, are you okay?" Cyborg asked quietly.

"I'm fine," Robin muttered.

"No, you're obviously not. I don't know why she'd do that," Cyborg said.

"Yeah, well, neither do I. But you know what? I really don't care anymore. If she's happy with him, fine." Robin said practically shouting.

Cyborg decided it was best to leave him alone. He stared at the people who were exiting the building. As Elektrana's eye caught his, she gave him a hopeful smile. But unfortunately, all he could do was shake his head in sadness.

O – O – O – O – O – O

Raven pulled herself away from Malchior as soon as Robin walked out. She wiped her lips on the back of her hand violently. She could really use some mouthwash right about now.

"Now, was that so hard?" Malchior asked her softly.

Raven whipped around. "Yes…it was. That was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever had to live through," she snapped at him.

He looked extremely confused. "But I thought…What about what you said?" he questioned.

"Malchior, it was all a lie!" she said throwing her hands up. "I only did it to get Robin out of here so he wouldn't be hurt. I hate you. I will never love you. Besides, why would I go from wanting to shred you into pieces to wanting to make out with you like that?" Raven said snapping her fingers.

Malchior's face contorted with anger. "Why you little bitch!" he said, outstretching his fingers towards her. Black chains of magic sprouted out and pulled Raven backwards. They threw her against the wall before she bounced of and fell to the ground. The chains sunk into the ground, pulling tighter.

"That'll teach you to toy with my feelings," Malchior whispered to her, standing above her.

Malchior then heard enormous amounts of rattling. "It's time," he said softly, grinning from ear to ear.

Malchior laid down next to her. As raven heard the first explosion go off, she smiled to herself. Malchior was going to die, and Robin wasn't going to be harmed. Debris began to fall around her as the second explosion went off.

Smoke filled the room followed by her lungs as she began to cough immensely. She tried her best to cover her mouth, but it soon failed.

An explosion went off near them. Flames erupted and made their way towards them. Raven felt her left arm starting to become a little too hot.

She thought it was going to be easier to go down like this, but she was in so much pain. The smoke filled her lungs, but as she coughed, only more made its way into her lungs. She couldn't breath and was beginning to get dizzy. The smoke began to burn her eyes as well. As everything began to thump with pain, she actually felt herself cry for the first time in a while. The cool tears felt like ice against her burning face. She laid her head on the ground in defeat as she began to sob. "Robin…help me," she cried.

Meanwhile, Cyborg stood there against the building as Robin and Starfire tried to wake up Terra and Beast Boy from their drunken…"slumber".

Elektrana came and leaned against the building next to him. "I can't believe it," she said shaking her head.

"I know. One minute, they couldn't be apart, the next, she's making out with a wizard who was trapped in a book," Cyborg said shrugging.

Elektrana laid her head against the bricks. She heard a loud noise come from within the building. She listened harder, but when nothing came, she thought she had imagined it.

But when she heard an even louder one, she knew something was not right. She turned to Cyborg. "Cy, I think that there's something going on in there," she said worried. He looked at her. He then turned and stared at the building. He looked back at her wondering what she was talking about.

Elektrana then placed her hand over her mouth. Cyborg gazed at her peculiarly, but when she pointed to the hotel, he knew something was wrong. When he turned, he saw small flames coming from one of the windows. And he was pretty sure that was where Raven and Malchior were last.

"Robin!" he shouted. Robin turned around. Cyborg pointed to the burning area. "I think Raven's in there," Cyborg said.

Robin shrugged. Cyborg grabbed him by the shoulder. "She may have admitted she doesn't love you, but she's still our friend. You're saying you're most likely going to leave her there?" Cyborg asked.

"What if she's not in there?" Robin asked defensively.

"Yeah, but what if she is?" Cyborg pointed out.

"Look, I'm sorry…" Robin said, but trailed off as he heard something. His breath caught in his throat as he realized it was someone shouting his name. "Oh god," he said, knowing he knew that scream.

His eyes went big. He shook his head in disbelief. He took a deep breath, and held his cape up in front of him. He walked over and swallowed his fear. He then burst in.

He ran in, trying to get her as fast as possible. He soon found the door due to the smoke coming from the bottom. He kicked it down. As he saw the large flames, he only hoped he wasn't too late.

O – O – O – O – O – O

Ooh. Major cliffhanger. You guys are going to hate me for this, right? I knew it! Hah! And now you know the whole kiss was fake. SO, tell me what you thought please!
