Ch. 6

Starfire was still very confused about the fact that she was not with her friends or did not even know where she was at all. Not to mention that it was cold and dark in the room that she was in. Starfire reached for her communicator but surprisingly found it missing from the original spot where it was always clipped on.

Now suddenly fear arose in her heart, if she did not have her communicator how could she call her friends and Robin? Robin, she had not thought of him until now, had he left her? Or was this some sort of trick that was being played on her for some thing that she did. That is if she did anything at all?

"I must find some way of leaving this dark and gloomy room" Starfire said as she lit up one of her starbolts to make some light. When she lit up her starbolt she saw no door, only an out line of one, with no door knob. The room also had a vent and a small window that was now covered with some sort of cloth in the other side. Other than that she also noticed that the room was all made out of metal and bolts.

All of a sudden the so called door started to creek open and let in a ray of sight blinding light. Starfire put out her own light and cheerfully said

"Is that you my friends? Or has someone else come to assist me?"

Her happiness faded fast when she saw that it was not anyone that she considered of thought if as a friend entered, it faded when she saw Slade appear out of the light.

A little gasp came out of her it was small, so small that she could barely hear it her self.

Slade entered the room, his metal shoes making a clink, clink sound with each step.

"What...what have you done with my friends, what have you done with Robin?" asked Starfire, trying to sound much braver than she felt.

"My, my Starfire you know that you really should not do that, jive little clues away like that to your enemy, for now I know your weakness, your friends are your weakness because you will do anything to protect them." lectured Slade "And as for your dear Robin, look out that window little window right over there and you will see."

Starfire immediately flew up towards the window, expecting to see Robin and the other Titans fighting of Slade's robots to free her from this cage that she was in. But that is not what he saw, what she saw was something that would haunt her for ever.

As Starfire looked out the window she froze. There on the other side of the wall laid Robin on a hard wooden table, his hands and his legs were chained to the table with leather straps that had spikes on them. He looked like he had been to hell and back, his face was swollen and had bruises all over it, he looked pale, like he had lost a lot of blood. There were cut everywhere on him, and you could see a part of his broken ribs. The ribs looked like they had been slowly cut open and then broken. He was not even moving and looked like he was dead. (Ok, thank god that's over)

This image took a while to get absorbed into Starfires mind, she could not believe what she was seeing, sure Robin got hurt during battle but like this, it was never like this. This was not battle this was torture and it looked like Robin would never be victorious.

As the image slowly sunk into Starfires mind tears started to pour down her face. Then she started to scream.

"Nooooo, no, let him go, he has dome nothing to you, why are you doing this?"

"Roooobin, Rooobbbiinnnnn" She screamed hitting the window and the wall with her hands. By now she was sobbing uncontrollably and her through burned with pain and anger. Anger of no matter how hard she hit the walls or how loud she cried and screamed, Robin would not budge.

"Me?" said Slade "I have done nothing my dear, it was you, it is your fault that he lays there, it was you who was not there to save him so now he is here."

With that Slade left the room, leaving Starfire crumbled on the floor crying her heart out.

That was Ch. 6, it was very hard to write because I'm a really big Robin fan and hate to see him hurt but this time I was the one hurting him. Plus I have a very good imagination so I can actually see this all happening! Eeeak! PLEASE review this is an important chapter in the story!
