Hiiiii! i'm back! Happy new year to EVERYONE!
to the story now
I decided to write one Robstar chapter in the story, but don't flame me Ravenfans, and not be happy Rostarfans, cause it's the only Robstar chapter. And one warning, Starfire dies in this chapter. So...Whoever hates her, party, and whoever likes her, well, don't be sad, she's in a better world now!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Nah...I'm not feeling so well today. I'm a little ill and I have a little fever...
On with the story
"NO!"
Raven was hawling in her sleep. Haer voice level overcame her usual screams, it reached a level higher than high. She was howling in despair, but her voice could be her as if someone have put a hand or something on her mouth
Robin and Starfire woke up, they heard their friend's painful screams and run to her room, afraid of seeing another Titan dead.
But no.
Raven was still dreaming, but also howling, but her scream was weaker now. Robin took Starfire's hand in his and walked closer to Raven's bed. "Um...Raven?" he asked in a whisper.
"Then suddenly, Raven screamed. This scream made Robin and Starfire cover their ears; the decibels of Raven's scream reached their culmination highlights. The reason for her increadible scream was a weird shape with two curves that was being engraved on Raven's left shoulder, like someone was intretching her with an invisible dagger.Crimson blood jumped from the wound and sprinkled the two surprised Titans.
"What the..." Robin wondered
"It's an 'S', Robin, look!" Starfire said.
And indeed, the letter 'S' was now appearing on Raven's shoulder. The textile of her black cloth was ripped all around the wound. On her bare pale shoulder, Robin and Starfire could clearly see the letter 'S' forming with Raven's blood.
"It doesn't look lik the mark of this Scath, right Robin?" Starfire asked and she held on Robin tighter.
"No, baby...It's something that I consider even worse than her birthmark...It's Slade." Robin said as he watched Raven's body curl and wrap, refold and move like her mind have lost control over her. Then a blue light that seemed to gush up from the inside of her body shone and soon, the whole room was shining from this cyan blue light.
"Ah...Robin? What is this?" Star questioned
"What's going on here? Why is this happening to Rae?" Robin asked too instead of answering her.
But there was none around to answer their questions. Then Raven's body folded in like a newborn baby, and the light became red.
"Robin! Raven...look at her!" Star shrieked and she pointed to Raven's side. More and more blood came out of the wound, but still, it seemed like a little scratch. Her body unfolded suddenly and tightened. A bliding white light gushed up and the whole room shone. The blood glide in the darkness and some of its tiny drops seemed like rubies
"RAVEN!" Robin yelled
"Robin, please, let's leave...It scares me..." Starfire pleaded
"But we can't leave Raven, not now baby!"
He was right. He was so right. They couldn't and they shouldn't leave Raven alone on such an hour. But it seemed that everything was against this decision.
Strong winds blew and the windows opened, the curtains floated under no control and black candles were lighten up. Blue flames surrounded the three Titans and the shadows around Raven's bed became even more freeky and creepy.
"ROBIN, PLEASE! I WANNA GET OUT OF THIS ROOM!" Star yelled
"We can't leave her!"
Then, as Robin tried to keep Starfire in the room, a dagger appeared from nowhere and headed straight to Raven's bed. The two Titans were standing frozen and watched as the dagger was ripping the bedsheets and Raven's cloak. After tearing Raven's cloak, the dagger headed to Raven herself. It was like someone invisible was trying to hurt Raven. And then it happened. Invisible hands turned Raven to one side and kept her steady. The dagger ripped the textile of her black uniform on her left side and a phrase took shape there. Blooded symbols appeared on Raven's exposed pale skin.
Although the phrase was written in Azar's language, Robin and Starfire could read the foreign letters and understand what the sentence meant. "This jem is MINE!"
"AHHHHHH! Robin, please, I beg you, I fall to your knees baby please, Take me away from here! I can't keep wathcing Raven being tortured this way, please!" Starfire cried and hid her face in Robin's embrace. She shrieked; completely panicked.
"But, Star...She's our friend...We mustn't leave her alone, not now!"
If only he knew how right he was...The moment he was saying these words, the dagger fell on the floor in front of their legs.
"IIIHHH!" Starfire jumped in the air scared but then landed next to Robin again. "Aren't all these enough to proove you we shouldn't be here?"
"But..."
"ROBIN WATCH OUT! It's Slade!" Starfire howled as she pointed somewhere behind his back. As Robin was turning to face him, Slade jumped over his head and landed next to Starfire. He wrpped her wrist and forced her kneel beside him.
"Let me go, you hurt me!" Star shrieked in pain. "Robin!"
"STAR!" Robin yelled. He couldn't take seeing his love being hurt by his worst enemy.
Slade put one of his legs on Starfire's back and made her lie face down to the floor. He pushed his shoe on her back; Starfire screamed in pain "Robin HELP!"
"Get of her, bastard!" Robin shouted.
"Wow, wow, easy Robin...Better watch your words to your previous MASTER!" Slade said calmly. It was obvious that he enjoyed this situation.
"I said GET OF HER, YOU SON OF A BITCH! Release her NOW!"
"Uh, Robin...You'll never change...Same old Robin, strong, protective...But always impulsive. Look around you and judge"
"I've ot nothing to judge, now get of my girl!"
"You're not the one to set te rules in this game, Robin...Look at me...And look at you." As he was saying these words, Slade kneeled next to Star, picked up his dagger and placed it next to her neck."I am readyto cut her throat in the least move you'll make, and you can do nothing about it. Now give me what I want and who knows...Maybe I'll let your life's love live." He said sarcastically.
"You're sick Slade."
"Yes Robin...I am sick of being alone and defeated, being the one who loses all the time. Being the one to feel these feelings, to her voices in your head, to have nightmares everynight, to lose whatever I do. Even when I had a bargain with the incarnation of evil, he betrothed me."
"That's the unfairness of being the bad guy, Slade. That's the price you have to pay, be beaten, untrusted, doubted and betrothed. Every side has prices we must pay. Our price is that we can't have normal lives, we must fight evil every momment. And she knows it better than anyone..." Robin turned his head and looked at Raven. Her body was all sweaty and still swirling and turning once to one of her sides and once to another. She surely was in a comatose situation, no doubt about it.
"Look, I don't have time for your little philosophies, though I can tell you've grown a bit wiser fro the last time I saw you, but...Give me what I want, and I promise you will never see me again!"
"Oh, yeah? And what's it that you want?"
"Simply and clearly: Raven."
"WHAT?"
"Didin;t you hear me? Raven"
"Raven is staying with us...Why would you want Raven, anyway Slade, what's the idea?"
"There's no particular reason Robin...Not when a man wants a dark, creepy, strong, empathetic, fully grown and beautiful girl by his side."
"Huh? So that's it?"
"Simple, isn't it?"
"I thought...Wait a minuite, isn't Blackfire your..."
"What me? With Blackfrie? Bad information Robin, very bad."
"Raven told me...Don't yu have Blackfire for such stuff"
"No, SHE wanted to have me for 'such stuff'. But I don't care. All I want is Raven and only Raven."
"Then you've chosen the wrong girl, Slade. I don't know what's going through your mind, but Raven will never be taken from the Tower. Never again! She's staying here! LET STAR GO AND GET YOUR BUTT OUTTA MY TOWER!" Robin yelled and threw his daggers and a little rocket to Slade
Immediatel, the villain reacted. "You leave me no choise, Robin..." he murmurd and he lifted Starfire in front of him as a shield. So Robin's shots and daggers hit only Star.
"NO!" Robin howled. The smoke disappeared; so did Slade.
"You killed her Robin...You are the only one responsible..." Slade's voice was a fading whisper
Everything around Robin went blue; all he could see was Starfire, lying on the floor, all wounded and blood running from many several wounds and injuries on her body. "No..." he whispered. He run to her side and kneeled beside her. "Star..."
"Uh..." Starfire opened her eyes slowly. "R...Robin..."
"I'm here baby, I'm right beside you..."
"Robin I..."
"No baby, don't talk, you're wasting your energy..." Robin said and felt his eyes filling with tears. Luckily Star couldn't see them
"...I want you to do...a last favor...Befor I die..."
"No! Who's telling such thing, no Star, you're not going to die baby, don't talk like that..."
"Robin...Don't try to...take my mind away...of the...inevitable...I know it's...my time to die...My jem is broken, right?"
"Jem, what jem?"
"The one on my suit...The green sapphire..."
"Uh...Well, I-"
"It's broken Robin...I can feel it... Don't lie to...keep me...alive..."
"No, no Star! You're not going to die, I'm not gonna let it happen!"
"You can't control it Robin...Nobody can...When the jem...that we...have on our suits...breakes...we Tameranian die...And...Nothing ever changes...Our lives are often short..."
"Yeah, but I am not gonna let your life be short too, Star, not yours too! You're too young to die!"
"...Age has nothing to do..with life on Tameran...This jem...controls...life and when...it's broken...all the life and...energy we...store in it...fades away..."
"It can't be! It can't be this short life STarfire, no!"
"We don't...have time...Robin...We have only two...minuits..."
"But Starfire..."
"Robin you do me no good...I am dying...I don't want...to leave this world...sorrowful...do me a favor...a last wish, honey..."
"Uh...Alright. What is it?"
"I've always wished to...be able to see...your..." Star stopped. She closed her green eyes and took a deep breath. And just then...
"STAR! No!" Robin said and kneeled next to her head.
"We're running...out of time...Just a minuite left..." Star whispered
"Tell me what you want to see!"
"Your mask Robin...remove your..." This pause was the longest. Robin panicked; he thought STarfire was dead, but just this moment... "... want to see your eyes Robin..."
Robin gasped. He never thought that there would be a day that someone would ask him to take off his mask and he would do it, but it seemed that this day have just come. He was always willing to do anything to please Starfire, and now she was dying. He wanted her to be happy.
"As you wish..." he whispered. He lowered his head and took offf his mask
Silence
And then...
"Robin...Your eyes...are so..."
"Blue?"
"Yes...and...Gorgeous...I've never...Your eyes are so...beautiful Robin, why...do you...insist on hiding..." Sta said, but then somethiung ceased her from breathing. She looked up, to see Robin worried, and the green in her eyes faded.
"My last dream...It came true...Thank you Robin...I will...leave now, but I...am going to wait for..."
"No Star...Don't waste your time and breath"
He was right. There were only fifteen seconds left.
"I want you to leave happy...But also to wait for me, 'cause I am going to come one day, no matter what." Robin said a Star was becoming more amd more paler.
Ten seconds left
"My last breath, Robin...take it..." Starfire whispered with all the power he could find inside her.
Seven seconds left
"I'll hold it forever" Robin said and he leaned forward. He kissed Starfire for the last time. And as time went on, as the seconds where going by, life was leaving Starfire and this made the kiss even more painfull.
"Goodbye..." The fainting words that Star whispered in his lips made Robin's eyes fill with burning tears. They rolled down his face and fell on Starfire's closed eyes, but even then the kiss did not break. Until the last second of Starfire's life, until the last drop of her blood floating in her veins and then out of her injuries, none of them held back. It was like they both were trying to breath life in each other.
And then Star left her last breath escape her lips. She fell back and was left frozen in Robin's embrace. A small smile rested on her pale lips and her closed eyes made her seem calm and peaceful. She have just left this world.
"I will always wait for you Robin..."
Uh, don't flame me for ruinning the story with this chapter, I know it sucks. But I did it for my sister, she loves Robstar, and I am ill, yes, now I know it. I have shivers and fever, I'd better go to sleep. See you!
