Me: Yes, this is the final chapter of Slade and the Wolf Titans and it's all in Slade's POV. I have a good feeling you'll all love this chapter with its sadness and it's surprises. I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to review this fanfic and for those who've stuck with me for this long.
Thanks to you, this fic was made possible.
Love,
Rocky-White Wolf of Curses"Slade?"
I turned around and a black and white she-wolf was standing behind me. She looked familiar, but my old age was getting to me and I couldn't place my paw on who it was. I was still strong, but my single eye was going blind.
"Can I help you-?"
"Roth, Raven Roth," she said. "I'm afraid I have bad news concerning Robin. I was his friend along with Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg."
"What's wrong with him?" I asked sounding worried. "Is he all right?"
"Well, no, actually. He died a month ago," Raven said. "All of my friends and family died."
"But-"
"A month ago when Gar and I went hunting for food, a wolf pack killed my friends, including Robin and Starfire's children, Beast Boy and my children, and Cyborg and a she-wolf named Jinx and their children. Gar and I were the only survivors and the wolves that killed them had already left when we came home.
"Garfield and I almost couldn't go on after we found them dead in their own cold blood. But Beast Boy was a lot worse however. He almost died of shock and he cried so hard, I almost couldn't snap him out of it. So to get his mind off of the other's being dead, I told him that we should go and find you to tell you.
"So we traveled, but half way here, Gar was killed by a hunter and I was very upset and angry. I killed the human and I was going to forget about coming here, but I didn't think it would be fair if you didn't know about Robin being gone. And now you know."
Raven turned around and she was about to leave, but I stopped her.
"Raven, a long time ago, a Seer told me of a prophecy about Robin and me," I said. "The Seer said that if Robin or I were to die, then the other would die at the same time. If Robin died, I'd die. But if I died, Robin would die. So if he died a month ago, I wouldn't be alive right now. And Raven, now that I think about it, that Seer kind of looks like you."
"What was the Seer's name?" Raven asked.
"She didn't have a name," I said. "She told me that everyone called her Seer and she accepted the name. But you do have the Seer's eyes and you do look like her."
"Well, I had a Grandma who was a Seer on my mom's side," she said. "When I was little, she would tell me stories and one story that she told me was about a male wolf with only one eye and he killed a wolf pup's parents and took him in as his own. She also told me that she met that wolf and told him the prophecy.
"If you are that wolf and you were supposed to die the same time Robin died, then you probably didn't understand it correctly. Did you feel anything different about yourself a month ago?"
"Different how?"
"Have you've felt empty inside?"
I shook my head sadly.
"No," I said. "I've only felt like something inside of me was missing, but nothing more."
"Maybe, once you let Robin go, maybe it broke a curse that was upon you after you killed Robin's parents," Raven said. "Your heart finally learned to let go of everything that was dear to you and it destroyed that bond."
"So, would that mean that I won't forget Robin and we won't be reborn as humans where we hate one another?"
"I don't know how to answer that," Raven said. "It probably will happen, it might not."
"Maybe once I found out that Robin died, then I would die," I said. "Maybe its about time for me to die all together."
"I don't want you to kill yourself Slade," Raven said.
I turned my back on Raven and I looked down at the ground with tears welling up in my eye.
"I've wanted to die for a long time Raven," I said. "Its about time for me to let go. I want to see Robin again before I forget him all together."
"Then I will not stop you," Raven said. "Good-bye… Slade Wilson."
"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!"
My tears landed on the ground and I looked to the heavens.
You were the best friend I have ever had, Robin. I won't let that go away and I'll never let you go.
