Me: Sorry it's so short, but I'm losing ideas for this story. I pretty much know what's going to happen at the end, but I can't think of anything before that. I'm thinking that there will still be more chapters before the ending, but I can't think of anything at the moment. Not sure how much this chapter will be, but I hope you like it all the same. Read and review, or don't, doesn't matter too much to me.

Robin's POV:
Things were very different now that Terra wasn't with us. Beast Boy wouldn't talk to anyone and he wouldn't eat. Starfire would cry with silent tears and she'd only talk if someone asked her a question. Raven showed no emotions and she was pretty quiet like Beast Boy and Starfire. Cyborg and I felt terrible, but we weren't entirely sad about her leaving. I told Blood Rain and my parents to watch over her in my howl after her death and I felt better because of it.
It's been a week since she died and we were making little progress. Beast Boy kept looking back every five minutes and it was slowing us down. Beast Boy wouldn't shed tears, but I knew he wanted to cry as much as Starfire did.
Things were just different and I didn't know what to do anymore. That same feeling of going back to Slade kept popping back into my brain, but another part of me told me to keep going no matter what my mind told me.
I just hoped Slade had forgotten about me by now, but I knew he was still out there searching. Still wanting me back to help him kill the innocent like he made Blood Rain and the others do.
I also wondered what had happened to Buster since he wasn't with Slade and Rocco when we crossed the icy river. I couldn't think of him being dead 'cause he was almost as strong as Blood Rain was when he was still alive. Part of me didn't care if he was alive, but another part of me hoped he was.
"BB, will you please stop doing that?" Cyborg asked.
I looked at Beast Boy and he was looking behind him again. He didn't answer Cyborg and he walked past us without a word.
"Just leave him alone Cyborg," I said. "He just needs time."
Cyborg nodded and we followed Beast Boy again.
"Robin, can I talk to you?" Raven asked.
I told the others to keep walking and I turned my attention to Raven.
"What is it?"
"That crow keeps following us," she said nodding at it. "I have a bad feeling it's waiting for something."
"Something?" I asked.
"Okay someone," Raven said. "I think it's waiting for you."
"Why do you think that?" I asked confused.
"What if Slade can talk to the crows and he's making it follow you?" she asked. "What if Slade is back there and he's catching up?"
I looked behind me and the crow took off.
"I don't want to think about that," I said. "Let's catch up to the others and keep going."
We followed the others and we were on our way again.
Slade's POV:
"CAW! CAW! CAW!"
I looked up and a crow was standing on a tree branch that was looking over a cliff. I walked to the edge and I looked down.
There was a dead female wolf and it looked like she had been shot. I jumped down and Rocco followed. I sniffed her dead body and she had been dead for a week.
"A hunter must have done it," Rocco said indicating the bullet wound.
"CAW!"
I looked up at the crow and he landed down next to the dead she-wolf. He looked at me with his beady black eye and I glared at it.
"Let's go find Robin," I said.
"Are you sure that we'll find him?" Rocco asked.
"We'll find him," I said.
"How do you know?"
I climbed up the cliff and I started walking with Rocco right behind me.
"I know because he's close by," I said with a smile. "Very close by."
Me: Told you it would be short, but please review anyways and we'll get into the next chapter soon.
