Chapter 3: New Lives

Intro….

It has now been a week since Robin and Starfire came to this horrible future.

With Robin:

"Put your backs into it slaves!" A man ordered. Robin was carrying 5 cement blocks on this back while being whipped by an over weight bozo! (No offense to any body that is over weight)

He had been working for the past week, nonstop. The only time Robin was able to rest was for 3 hours of sleep, a 3 minutes shower every 3 days, 10 minutes to eat, and 2 minutes to go to the bathroom once every other hour. (Lots of 3s there) When he wasn't doing one of the things about, Robin was working. This means he was moving cement blocks, mining, smashing rocks, or doing other hard labor.

Now for Starfire… that is a much different story….

With Starfire:

"Ms. Starfire we much give you your shot," one of the maids said as she came into her room. Starfire had to have the shot every 3 days at 12 pm. She took the shot and then slept for an hours on a huge, fluffy, warm bed. She was living the life of luxury, but at a cost. (I got a shot today… now my right arm hurts)

Starfire had to be at Red X's side at all times. If he wants a kiss or a hug, he gets it… and if he doesn't he'll send word for Robin to be killed. So Starfire had to listen to every one of his orders. In return red X fed her, bathed her, dressed her, and kept her alive amongst other things. (When I say Red X I mean the maids.)

And all this time Slade just sat around and smirked. He occasionally barked orders at Red X and sometimes even Starfire, but other than that he didn't do anything. Wait… every once in a while he would say to himself, "Damn my life is great." All he had to do was sit there, Slade had the easy job! Of course!

Anyway… now with the real chapter. That was just to get you caught up with things.

Chapter 3: New Lives

For real this time

"Starfire… where are you?" Red X called out.

"Yes your majesty?" Starfire asked, popping out of nowhere.

"Feed me grapes," Red X ordered before pointing to the glass bowl filled with grapes. (I had grapes yesterday, they were really good) Starfire slowly picked up the grape bowl and brought it over to Red X. She started feeding him grapes and waited until Red X closed his eyes before Starfire hit his head. She then dropped the bowl before running off only to have Red X get up and chase after her. He finally stopped Starfire when he jumped on top of Starfire, nailing her to the ground.

"That was a very bad thing to do because now your precious Robin will die," Red X whispered into Starfire's ear.

"Please! No!" Starfire begged. She grabbed his arm as Red X walked away.

"I'm sorry, but the deed is done. I already sent somebody to tell them," Red X told her. Starfire looked up at him and did the one thing she could think of… she kissed him. After what seemed like forever, Starfire ripped herself free form his grasp and fell to the floor. Red X smirked, looking down at Starfire. Snapping his fingers, somebody came to his side.

"Call off the killing. Robin may live… for now," Red X said and with a nod the person left.

"That was a wise thing to do. Now lets see if you can feed me grapes the right way," Red X said.

"Yes Master," was all Starfire said before walking to his side.

With Robin:

"Hurry it up! You need to finish this mine before midnight!" a man yelled, whipping Robin as he worked. Robin swung the pick ax over his shoulder and into the hard dirt. Repeating this action, Robin slowly worked; sweat dripping from his now blackened face.

"I have an order from Red X!" a guy in a white robe yelled as he came into the tunnel.

"What is it?" the man in charge asked.

"I have word for Robin to be killed," the robbed man stated. Robin's eyes widened as he heard the man. Soon 3 men were surrounding him and ripped the pick ax out of his hand. They grabbed Robin and pulled him away from the wall, soon shoving him into the ground. Robin struggled under this grasp, trying his best to free himself.

"Robin you have been ordered to be killed. It's a shame, you were one of the best slaves in this tunnel," the man said, the pick ax in his hands. He brought the pick ax above his head and was about to bring it down when the man in the robe came rushing back into the tunnel.

"STOP! I have orders to keep him alive!" he yelled. The pick ax slowly fell to the ground with a thump.

"You were lucky this time. Next time, you won't be so lucky," the man said before walking away. The other 2 men holding Robin let him go and walked off. The man in the robe was explaining things to the main in charge and soon left.

"Why am I still alive?" Robin asked, looking up at the smirking man.

"Get back to work," was all he said.

"Tell me why I'm still alive!" Robin demanded.

"Lets just say your little girlfriend found a way to change Red X's mind," he said before making a kissing motion.

"She wouldn't!" Robin yelled.

"She did! Now get back to work!" the man ordered before leaving, but Robin didn't get back to work. He sat there, his head in his hands.

"Why Starfire?"

Yes Starfire… why? I know why!!! Anyway please review!! Also if anybody got confused the thing with Robin and Starfire happened at the same time, just told at different times. Hope that didn't confuse anybody! Please review!
