Should I Stay or Should I Go?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer: Lets just put it like this, my dream of owning the teen titans has been flushed down the toilet, my new dream is to own code Lyoko. Oohh look the rights, dreams really do come true!
Well, because I left all of you in anticipation, and because I was getting death threats. I decided to update sooner than I expected.
Okay to begin with:
My Challenge Type Thing: okay the only person who successfully figured out my age was, dun, dun, dun Tecna.
Would you guys and or girls believe that I'm only thirteen years old, turning fourteen on July 17? Tecna's guess was thirteen to fourteen years old.
Tecna, when you can, email me and tell me your plot. I'm going to write a fic for you. Also thanks for the email. They were so nice and guess what you get to learn more about Kari's arrest.

For The Moment You've All Been Waiting For:
Chapter 14: Should I Forgive Her or Should I Brush Her Off
Kori's P.O.V.
I slam my hands down on the table and let an annoyed sigh escape. I was tired of playing games. Why wouldn't Kari answer my questions? Over the years I've become a nicer person and more patient.
"Okay Kari I'm going to ask you one more time. Why did you try and kill me? I'm your sister for God's sake"
"Fine little sister I'll answer your question, but only because your voice is so annoying. Well let's see, for one I hate you, two I hate you and three I hate you"
"Why do you hate me so much? I've never caused you any harm."
"You ruined my life. You were mom and dad's favorite. They always paid attention to you. It wasn't fair. Father loved you so much. They would completely ignore me; brush me aside. Do you not know how horrible that felt. To not have anyone pay attention to you, even on your birthday. To have them always say 'why didn't you turn out like Kori' they're not supposed to say that to me, they were supposed to say it to you. Those words hurt me. I was always the first one to be suspicious of. What is it about me? Is it my black hair? It's not my fault father had black hair. Did he despise me because I looked like him? And when I turned into a teenager they hated me for being so rebellious. They should have expected it, if they never paid attention. I've always wanted to be ruler. And when I finally got what I wanted you took it away from me. I hate you so much"
I wanted to hug her, pat her back, anything to make her feel better. I knew better though, she might try and attack me.
"Kari, I never knew of this. I am sorry. Please do not think I did it on purpose. I am not a bad person. I'm not evil"
"Oh so my dear sister isn't evil. Yeah right. You're the evilest person I know. After all didn't you intentionally kill Nightingale? Oh wait oops I forgot you don't want to be reminded of that"
I wanted to cry so badly. I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know she would die. I thought she would sprout wings and say 'Ha Ha Kori'. Kari was already proven guilty of attempted murder and of assault (I think it's assault)
"Guards please take her away"
Kari tried to escape the guard's grasp. She failed though.
"I will never forgive you sister dear. I'll always hate you, always"
The guards started to take her out of the cell, but before they were gone she whispered something.
"Remember your Raven's sister's keeper, you can't forget, you killed her, you Kori Anders killed Nightingale Roth Trigon," She said it all with a sick smile.
I turned around not wanting to see her face. I didn't have to see her any more. She was given the death penalty. She would die by an electric chair.
Raven's P.O.V.
I woke up and looked at my surroundings. Where am I was my first thought. I try to sit up but feel a rush of pain to my abdomen. I then remember. I took a bullet for Kori.
I look around the room some more. The walls were white and there were pictures on the walls. I notice a couch in the corner. I set my eyes on the couch and notice a bundle on it. I get up ignoring the pain. When I get to the couch I pull the blanket off and notice Raiden sleeping. She had a half eaten cookie in her hand. I notice her shoulder. It had a bandage on it.
I see a doctor pass by. He had to do a rewind before he noticed I was up. He came in the room.
"Raven you should be in bed" not feeling up to arguing I climb in to the bed.
"Okay Raven, you know what happened right"
"Yeah, I took a bullet" I answered dully.
"Well, from our stats you're recovering quickly"
"Well, that's good"
"It's amazing, especially for a person who took a bullet to the chest and for a person who needed a blood transfusion twice"
"Wow, wait who gave me the blood?"
"Well, you're parents couldn't give it to you because they needed it more than you did. None of your friends had your blood type. The only person we didn't check was Raiden your adopted daughter. She matched your blood type perfectly and according to your DNA you're her biological mother, Miss Roth"
"Wait say what"
"You are Raiden's real mother, not only adoptive mother, well according to your DNA"
I knew I had a face of pure shock. It made no sense. Of course I knew Raiden was the reincarnation, but I didn't expect for to actually, be my daughter.
"I'm a mother, I have a child," I whispered to no one.
"Well, I'm going to leave you alone, by the way you can go home today. Your cousin Jinx will be here to pick you up"
"Thank you, Doctor"
"No problem"
The doctor had left and I saw something move from the corner of my eye. Raiden was waking up. When she was fully up she looked my way and saw I was up. She ran my way. You could easily tell she was excited.
"Mami, you're up"
"Hey Raiden"
"Mami you had me worried, after you got shot every one started screaming and running around like chickens who got their heads cut off"
"Funny Raiden"
"Oh mami look I gave you blood," she said while pointing to her band-aid.
"I know you did baby"
"I don't know why every one is afraid of shots, they don't even hurt"
For the rest of the time we talked. She usually wasn't this out spoken. She was always quiet. She would either be reading or watching TV. While she talked I changed my clothes. I had on a hospital nightgown. Now I'm in jeans and a hooded zip up sweater.
We heard a knock at the door. We turned our heads to see Jinx.
"Hey Jinx"
"Hey Aiden and little angel"
"Hey auntie Jinx"
"So are you two ready to go"
"Yeah we're ready"
We took the elevator to the first floor. I signed my self out.
We got in the car.
"You know Raven some one still loves you"
"What Jinx"
"I'm talking about Richard"
"Yeah right he practically hates me," I said stifling a yawn.
"Is that so, he's been staying at the castle and he said he would give you his blood if you needed it, he even visited you everyday. Now Raven, tell me he doesn't love you"
"Easy he doesn't love me, he's confused"
"Someone's in denial"
"What"
"I said you're swimming in a river and its called denial and guess what you're drowning"
'Yeah, what ever, but did you know that according to my DNA and Raiden's, I'm actually her biological mother"
"Oh yeah you should have seen every one's faces, especially Richard's man it was priceless it was a mixture of shock and happy"
"Right Jinx"
Then Raiden cut in.
"Mami when you were sleeping a man with black hair was playing with me, and the other night I heard you talking with him, is he my dad"
I didn't know what to tell her.
"Um I yeah uh no " I was having trouble on what to tell her, that is until Jinx cut in.
"What your mom is trying to say, yeah he is your dad"
"Jinx!" I shouted.
"What, it's the damn truth"
The rest of the way home we didn't talk. An hour later we were al in the castle about to go to dinner. That means I would have to see Richard. Every one walked into dinner. I saw Kori was still here. I saw Richard too. Before I was going to sit down Kori wanted to talk to me. So she pulled me inside a hallway.
"Raven I cant thank you enough"
"For what"
"Raven you took a bullet for me, I would have been in the hospital for you, Raven you are my sworn sister. You are always welcome in Tameran"
"Thank you Kori" I then hugged her. It would usually be Kori hugging me. I guess I must have caught her by surprise because she jumped.
"Raven I am leaving tonight, and I would just like to say I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry for everything I've done to you, and I try to ignore this and I try to forget, but I am your sister's keeper. Raven I know you cannot truly forgive me for what I did, but I'm happy that you are trying. Now I know that her soul can truly rest in peace."
"Kori don't think about it anymore, although I can never truly forgive you, I'm trying and Kori you've been Nightingale for me. To me you are she"
"Raven no one can replace her, she was too heavenly, too perfect"
"Kori no one is ever perfect, and yes you're right no one can replace her, but for a long time now I've seen you as my big sister and Kori no more discussing I want to eat, there was no way in hell I was going to eat hospital food"
Kori and I had a good laugh out of this. We walked into the dining room. Kori took a seat. I looked around and saw the only seat left was right next to Richard. I had no other options so I sat next to him. He smiled as I sat down. I now think of what Jinx said to me earlier. Does he still love me? Has he learned to accept the truth? The dining room was buzzing. I didn't say anything. During the dinner I feel Richard hold my hand. He would then caress my hand with his thumb. I wanted to pull away but every time I did he would just take me hand again.
I couldn't take any more of this. I excused my self. I told every one I was tired. Raiden excused her self too. She followed me up to my room.
"Mami, are you going to sleep?"
"Not yet baby I have to take a shower"
"Okay mami, I hope you feel better,"
"You too may Azar be with you" I then gave her a kiss on her fore head. She then headed towards her room.
I grabbed my robe. I walked down to the bathroom. I made sure I locked the door. I undressed. I looked at my abdomen. I saw the scar the bullet left. You could no longer see the scar from the removal of my child. I'd just have to wait until my scar healed. Like they say ' All scars will heal, they just take time.' There will always be a small scar; it will be there to remind me that the past is real, that I tore my heart open just to feel. (Those were some lyrics to Papa Roach's Scars)
I got in the shower. The water ran down my back. It relieved all stress that I had. I was there for ten minutes until I decided my skin was wrinkly enough. I got out and brushed my hair. I then put my robe on. While come out I bumped into some one. I waited for the impact of me hitting the floor, but it never came. Instead I felt to strong arms wrap around my waist. I open my eyes. I look up to see Richard.
I see Richard's handsome face. But his eyes were what caught my attention. He had sapphire eyes, which held so much love. I didn't notice I started to lean. I didn't even notice that he started to lean in too. I felt like time had stopped. Before I knew it his soft lips were upon mine.
So there, that was chapter 14. I hope you guys and or girls liked it. So the people who I'm writing a fic for remember email me, and tell me the plot and all that jazz. Oh yeah remember to review.
