Chapter Nineteen: "Shattered Hearts"
"Keyda!" screamed Kayla.
Keyda quivered at the sound of Kayla's calling.
"Yes Kayla?" Keyda asked shyly.
"Tell me, who permitted Robin to leave?" she asked, not hiding the fact that she was extremely mad.
"No one my lady." she replied.
"Then why is he not here?" she yelled out.
"Someone left the door unlocked, and no one heard him leave." Keyda replied.
"Contact Raven, bring him back here immediately. Tell her that if he is not here within 3 Earth days then we will proceed with eliminating Starfire." Kayla smiled.
"But Kayla-" Keyda began, but was cut off by Kayla's hand waving, motioning for her to be silent. "Yes my lady. I will obey."
Keyda turned around and went to her chambers.
"Robin will be mine." Kayla chuckled evilly.
Raven was in her room meditating as usual. She heard a light knock on the door and asked who it was. It was Starfire.
"May I come in?" Starfire asked sadly.
"Yes." Raven replied, still meditating. "What is it Starfire?"
"I am concerned." She said simply.
"About?" Raven knew.
"Robin." She paused, looking around her friend's dark room. "I am in love with him and I do not wish to lose him. I love him. Please, Raven, do you not know how to get him out of this?"
"Starfire, Shadows are very difficult creatures. I know enough to deal with them, but not enough to help Robin get out of his situation." She said sadly, levitating herself back on the ground.
"Raven please, you must help me." Starfire begged.
"Starfire, I can-"
Starfire raised her voice, "Please Raven!" Tears began to stream down her cheeks. "I can not lose him! I have waited a long time to be with him, if I lose him now I will not have a reason to live."
"Don't say that!" Raven yelled.
"Please Raven, help me. I beg you, as a friend," she paused, looking at her with sorrow filled eyes, "as a sister."
"Fine." Raven gave in.
Starfire zoomed over to Raven and gave her a giant hug. Raven was about to say something when Starfire let her go.
"Thank you." She said, smiling.
"You should go figure out what the others are doing. I need to find out more information." Raven turned to her shelves of books.
