-Chapter Six-
"Starfire...I
know that you miss her. We all do but...well..." Robin started
the next morning when Starfire told the others about her dream.
"But
friends...I really saw Raven! In my dream, she told me to tell you
that she forgives all of us and that she will watch over us. She told
me herself!" Starfire countered.
"But that's just it
Star. It was a dream." Beast Boy said wearily, almost falling
asleep on a tofu waffle.
"But it really happened. She told me
herself." Starfire said again, but now she was losing confidence
in whether it really happened or not. "Maybe I just dreamed it."
she whispered to herself.
"They don't
believe her. How could they not believe her?" Raven kept asking
herself over and over while she watched her friends from her 'room'
in the afterlife. "Mother, what can I do to make them believe
what Starfire says is true? They couldn't even see me when I first
visited."
Arella stood up from where she was sitting on the
bed. "It is good that you thought of dreams and supernatural
origins, but have you tried material items?"
"A
note...how could I have not thought of that? Thank you Arella."
Raven replied hastily as she ran out the door again.
"What's this
thing?" Beast Boy wondered out loud. He picked up a small piece
of paper. It was the note that Raven desperately left to try to
contact her friends. He opened it and read it on the way to the
lounge. "Hey guys! Starfire wasn't making it up! Look what i
found!"
Cyborg took the note from Beast Boy and read it
aloud. "Dear friends, Starfire was not lying. I really did
contact her in her dreams. I forgive you all. It wasn't your fault or
Slade's that I'm gone now. But remember, I'm not resting in peace
until I can find a solution to-" Cyborg stopped reading.
"What
is it? What does the rest of it say?" Robin asked from where he
was seated, in front of the Titan's computer.
"Nothing.
That's it. The note stops there. But there is Raven's name where the
sender's signature is supposed to be. It just looks like the last
part of the letter was erased."
