Chapter 7
WoW! Another day and another chapter! Hey you people ever noticed that nowhere is no-where but can also be now-here? We some people trying to tell us once we are 'nowhere' we are 'now here?' Odd.
Disclaimer: I...DON'T...OWN...THE...TITANS! Happy?
Raven sat on the lone, dark stage that only a few days ago was lit. Because of the recent incline in murders the contest was closing. No one would lose or win. Part of her wanted to cling to the contest forever; it had made her accepted in the city; the other half made her want to shatter the whole building for tricking her into believing she was pretty.
Soon the contacts would come out, the hair cut and the make up washed away; stripping her of Rachel and morphing her back into Raven; the Titan witch. Ouch.
Then out of the mirth Robin came in.
"Raven… it's for the best," said Robin in a parenting tone. Like he was making her give away her favorite puppy to a loving home.
"You don't think I know that? Anyway I glad it's over; it was stressful."
"Okay. See you after we get all the girls checked out. Sure you don't want to come?"
"Yes," said Raven. To see her friends and roommates leaving her would hurt too much.
He made his accent down the lowly lit stairs to the stage; the perfect ending for a beautiful girl…on the stage where he first laid eyes on her. He slipped a silver needle out of his pocket; the tube cast an eerie blue glow. To him all these poor girls had been a waste of life. But he was paid; that's what mattered. He was three feet away when she spun around and met him face to face. Shoot.
Raven sensed the man long before the saw him. He had on an outfit fit for a party. A black and white tux. She raced through his mind seeing again how each girl had met her fate. Then she saw it the needle in his right hand. That was how he killed them.
"So; I'm your last assignment?" she questioned.
"If it works; yeah," he muttered; his voice hazy.
"If what works?"
"You'll see."
At that he lunged at her trying to stab her with the needle but she was too quick. She gouged her foot into his hand causing him to drop his cargo. She picked it up and cast a scowled at it. The man's eyes widened.
"Not so tough without your weapon are you?" she hissed, "I'll send this to the titans. They'll find out what your up too; you little-"
Raven was cut off but a moment of pain in her left arm and then she saw the man; and the shot he held in her arm. She felt something flowing through her blood to her brain. She had words on her lips but before they came she fell into a crumpled heap.
