Author's Note: I in a bored-but-still-inspired-to-write-fics mood. Whatever mood that is…

I have decided to write an epilogue for demise. Go this idea from a book called Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. One of the best books I have ever read. I encourage you to read it…though there are some parts which I would not advise you to read. It's still a great book, though! Fairly brutal, yet perfectly beautiful.

This fic occurs two days after Robin's death.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Teen Titans. Never did. Never will. I'm just writing this on account of the characters of the show are so cool, but still not mine.

It's been two days since Robin's death.

Me and the other titans gathered around the rectangular pit wherein the black casket descended from the ground we were standing on. All of us were in black. We wore our usual clothes, but in shades of black and gray. Cyborg, on the other hand, wore a tux.

I whispered my last words to Robin and kissed the petal of the rose, before it descended along with the corpse of the boy wonder.

Everyone else threw in their flower along with mine. Starfiire was the last one to let go of hers. She was new to this sort of earthly burial and she had to watch us before doing what she did.

Most of the people from Jump City had come to pay their respect to the loss of our friend.

I recognized some of the people who were there. Some were cops, but most of the people there were saved by the boy wonder himself.

The Titans East arrived only as soon as the ceremony ended.

The little girl, the one I had almost killed inside cardiac, went over to Starfire to give her a white daisy. She whispered something in the Tamaranean's ear that made her give a weak smile. She hugged the little girl, who, after that, trotted away toward her mother, waving goodbye to the Tamaranean princess. The red-headed alien had tears in her eyes once again. She wept silently.

A few people also went up to Cyborg and Beastboy. They were all saying "We're sorry for the loss," or "We express our deepest symphathies for the tragedy." Cyborg and Beastboy merely nodded then waved goodbye to the people who walked up to them. I could tell they knew no one who came to them, Except for Bumblebee who sat with Cyborg and cried with him, they actually knew. Beastboy was being comforted by Mas y Menos, who were trying to make him smile again, though they were both trying desperately not to cry, themselves.

Speedy went up to Starfire. Since he had a resemblance of Robin, when he went up to Starfire, for a moment, I thought he was Robin. Probably back from the dead? I dismissed the thought. Robin would never be able to come back.

Aqualad was the only person there who came up to me. Maybe it was just because he was feeling sorry for me that everyone just refused to go near the half-demon.

"Hey, Rae, I'm really sorry about what happened…" He placed a hand on my shoulder. He really did look like he was sorry.

"Me too," I whispered, trying to hold back the tears again.

"So…are you going to be okay?" he lifted my chin to make me look at him straight in the eye.

"I don't know," I replied, quickly wiping away the tears. "But I can handle it."

"Just let me know if you need someone to talk to."

"I'll let you know if I want someone to talk to," the sarcasm slipped through my lips. I could not believe that after I had talked to a dead boy about my feelings for him, I could just push a live boy away who was trying to help me. It was probably a habit, but it made Aqualad feel worse about Robin's death, feel worse about coming near me. The guy was trying to help me and I give him sarcasm. Cheers for me.

He looked down, then started to walk away.

"Aqualad, I'm sorry," I said, just before he could walk away far enough to tune me out.

He nodded, "It's okay. I understand."

He said it, although at the moment, I knew he really didn't. No one knew.

"No you don't…" I whispered. I soon regretted saying it when I noticed that Aqualad had stopped dead in his tracks.

I found myself face-to-face with his dark eyes once more.

"Raven…you're not the only one here who lost a fried, so stop acting like you are. We all feel bad about Robin's death." I could sense the fury in his tone, but he kept it under a hushed tone.

I stopped to look at him again.

"Say it again." I whispered, the tears were coming back.

"What?" his face flushed, having made me cry. He was afraid that the whole city would be destroyed, all because he made Raven, the half-demon, cry.

"Robin's death… say it again."

"Rae…are you okay?" He walked over to place a hand on my shoulder. The tear began to fall, but nothing much happened. Only a few busted trees and gravestones. Nothing we can't replace.

"Say it again," I repeated. "It's just that everyone refers to it as 'a terrible loss' or 'a tragedy'."

He looked at me sincerely.

"I just really want someone to say it out loud to just get it all over with." I continued, the tears falling again.

"Robin's death…" he whispered.

"Thank you." I held out a hand in front of him, motioning him to stop for a while. "I think I'll be going home now."

He held me by the shoulders, then pulled me to a tight hug. "You're going to be okay." Now, it wasn't a question. It was a statement.

"I know," I said back, then went back to the tower on foot.

As soon as I got home, and into my dark room, I locked my door.

I could still remember him knocking on the metal door asking if I was alright.

Tears came flowing down my cheeks.

I could still remember him playing the loud music in his stereo and asking if he was disturbing my meditation.

Tears came flowing down my cheeks.

I could still remember him with Starfire…everywhere he goes.

More tears.

Him screaming Starfire's name.

More tears.

Him and Starfire, just talking.

More tears.

I fell down on my knees, and wrapped my cloak around myself. It was my comfort, my shelter.

I cried when I wanted to cry.

I screamed when I wanted to scream.

I called out his name when I wanted to call out his name.

And I felt good about it, even though nobody could hear me… at least, nobody alive.

Author's Note: This one was weirder than the last chapter…in my view. Yeah. But I did enjoy writing it. So now it's time for me to enjoy the fruits of my labor…so please REVIEW! If you want to flame the pairing…I laugh at you, so don't even bother trying.

Review!
