Long Road to Ruin
Last Chance
It wasn't a long goodbye.
It wasn't a sad goodbye.
It wasn't even a regrettable one.
It was just a few friends wishing a couple of other friends a safe trip, Speedy barely said or did anything more than he had to, but the look on his face said it all. He was still pleading with me to do the right thing, I wish I could, I don't even know why I couldn't … it didn't make sense. It wasn't like X was twisting my arm, or I was madly deeply in love with him, no that's not the case here … I don't know what it is … but I just knew I didn't want to try to live my life without him. I didn't want to know what that pain would feel like, and I most certainly didn't want to lie to myself anymore.
Robin and I departed from Steel in a quick hurry (or rather a slow hurry, he was going 90, meaning he was thinking and didn't want to go too fast). I held onto his waist and rested the side of my head on his back to watch the world fly by us in a blur; it oddly enough comforted me to not be able to see the world for once. I closed my eyes when the thought of X started to worry me, I hadn't heard from him since I got back from Azarath, Speedy didn't mention what or where he was, and I was damn sure not even Robin knew where the thief was. Apparently, the thought of two revenge seeking Tameranians took priority over his Red X obsession, but not me.
My Red X obsession always took priority over all else.
I sighed, and before I knew it time flew away from me and in the middle of a hot afternoon, Robin and I finally arrived at Jump. The speed-wonder had apparently gunned the throttle somewhere along our trip and had cut our arrival time short and since Jump was our fair city he knew all the short cuts to take back to our Tower. Speaking of Tower, Robin hailed the Ops Room to let Cyborg know we were almost home, and almost was an understatement. We were seconds away with the speeds Robin was traveling at, I sat up and held onto him a little tighter when I realized we were about to cut through X and my neighborhood.
The street where we would find secret sanctuary with one another every night prior to the numerous fiascos that tangled themselves in our webs. I leaned with Robin as we took the turn into the neighborhood and gasped when something flew in close to Robin's front wheel and startled him enough to drop the bike to the ground. We went skidding across the pavement; I let Robin go and rolled along the road until I stopped on my back staring up at the sky. The bike crashed into a nearby streetlamp and I quickly jumped to my feet when I realized I was laying in the middle of an active road.
Lucky me the roads were barren of any moving cars, but what the hell happened?
"Robin!" I called out to him and ran to his aid when I saw him struggling to get back on his feet.
He grunted as he stood up and scowled as his masked eyes darted up and down the street, "What the hell was that? It looked like a …"
WHOOSH!!
He didn't get a chance to finish for a black streak with a lavender tail screamed down the street followed closely by an equally fast green stream. The wind whirled around us and seconds after they passed us by we were blown off our feet by a sonic boom that knocked the wind out of our lungs as glass rained down all around us. I felt my hands and bare legs (I was in my leotard) were scraped and cut up and I grimaced when glass dug into my flesh as I tried to once again pick myself up off the ground. However, as I reached my hand up to grab for something to help me back on my feet I cried out when I grabbed a stem of an untrimmed rose and its thorns cut deep into my hand.
I had been thrown into a nearby flower shop; daffodils of chivalry and unrequited love, dahlias of elegance and betrayal were all over me in such a way I might as well have been buried with them in my own grave. Funny how I'd be covered in flowers of ill symbolisms, I sighed heavily and shook my head to dispel the coincidence as I pushed myself back on my feet and stumbled out into the street where all hell was breaking loose. With a ringing sensation still resonating in my ears I looked up at the sky when I heard what sounded like a missal hurtling to Earth. I braced for impact, but when I chanced a peek through my arms I instead saw Blackfire slow her decent so when she hit the ground all she created was a crack in the pavement.
Of course, that was before she completely obliterated the surface when she launched herself back into the skies and with what sounded like another sonic-boom that vibrated throughout the neighborhood she slammed into her opponent. Whether it was Moonburst or Strongheart was only my guess, but if she was here that meant so was X … but where the hell was he and was he even alright? For that matter, where was Robin?
The instant I thought of him I felt a tingling in the back of my neck that told me to look up and there across the street I found Robin. He was leaning against an intact streetlamp holding the side of his head (probably trying to stop it from ringing) while frantically dishing out orders on his com-link. I clenched my fists and was about to rush to his side when I heard a sound that both enthralled me and frightened me, it was the X-bike's engine and it was tearing through the neighborhood. It took a moment, but Robin heard it to and within seconds I spotted the black figure, but hot on his tail was the other Tameranian sibling.
I gulped to still my beating heart when I remembered X telling me his masked was cracked and he couldn't see out of it and as I recall I've taken up most of his time in Azarath, he wouldn't have been able to repair it so quickly. So I prayed he was at least wearing something to cover his face, but try as I might to catch a glimpse of it he was too far off and he was moving too fast. Before I knew it he blew pass me in a streak of red and black and just as Strongheart threw a starbolt at him X used the crater Blackfire made as a ramp and with the speeds he was going he quickly gained a lot of air. My mouth fell open when I spotted Blackfire and Moonburst on a collision course with them, I futilely reached a hand out to help, but narrowed my eyes and frowned when I noticed something odd.
Red X, wasn't on the X-bike … he was on Robin's!
It all happened in a second flat, X leapt into the air, Blackfire caught his wrist and quickly went vertical just as Moonburst shot a starbolt at her, missed, and hit the bike. The bike exploded and it sent a shockwave throughout the destroyed streets, I cringed and shielded myself from the debris and flames. Strongheart and Moonburst plopped out of the sky in roasted heaps, they weren't dead, no, far from it, but they were angrier than hell. So I decided to take over from here to give Blackfire and X a chance to escape while the other Titans came to clean up their mess. With pent up energy I lifted up flaming pieces of debris and launched it at Strongheart as he struggled with his sister to pick themselves up off the ground.
My throw was true to its aim and hit him on his shoulder which knocked him back to the ground, Moonburst gasped and as he reached down to hold her brother she turned and with glowing green eyes snarled, "How dare you! Stay out of this! It does not concern you!"
"You're an escaped felon Moonburst," I shouted, "that makes you my business, now both you and your bother power down you're going back to jail."
Strongheart, despite his body wracked with pain stood up, hunched over, and with a bloody mouth sneered, "There is one of you and two of us, you will not win."
"So why don't we even the playing field!" Terra announced as she flipped into position just off to my left a little behind me, I heard an eagle screech in the sky as Beast Boy dropped from the sky and simultaneously morphed into a tiger to let loose a vicious roar. Cyborg drove up behind me, got out of his car and pointed his sonic cannon at the duo while Starfire gracefully floated to the ground to my right.
Powered up and ready to go Starfire stoically said, "It would seem as if you are the one's now outmatched Ja'marnixzz, stay your energy and come peacefully, we mean you no harm."
"It's either that," Robin added as he calmly waked across the street to join Starfire's side, "or this turns into something very unpleasant."
Moonburst growled, "Our fight is not with you Earthlings, it is with that Hexezbrk'fe sibling!" She directed her anger to Starfire, "If you have any respect for your own kind you will understand that all we want is your sister's head on a plate! The challenge has been initiated and it is your sister's cowardice that prolongs this planet's suffering!"
Starfire cringed, her previous strong front faltering at the pain of losing a sister and obeying her cultural beliefs. She even glanced at Robin for support, but Robin did not assist her in anyway, probably because he knew this was a decision Starfire had to make on her own. One of those growing-up-Suzy (or Johnny) life lessons that are constantly thrown at us in hopes that we make the right decision to further our personal growth. Annoying really. Especially when given to a girl that can't even decide if she wants to wear a pink skirt to the mall or skinny-jeans to the food-court. I just about had it with the wait when Starfire straightened her back and said, "This is not Tameran, and I must ask you to stay your energy and respect Earth's customs. Please, Cassidia'n, come to your senses."
Moonburst and Strongheart shared a look, but not just any look; it was a look of a couple of siblings with nothing left to lose, a dangerous combination. Strongheart powered up, followed by his sister as they took to the air, I felt Terra follow suit with Starfire matching their aura readings. Cyborg prepared to fire, and seeing as everyone else was on edge I too prepared for a fight. Strongheart roared, "So long as your sister still breaths on this planet, Earth is doomed to destruction unless her corpse lays rotten at our feet!"
Robin didn't hesitate, "Titans! GO!"
We split them up; Terra, Beast Boy and myself went after Moonburst; Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg cornered Strongheart and for a while despite X and Blackfire's efforts in their previous fight Strongheart and Moonburst were still a hassle to take down. I never realized how far they were willing to go until I stupidly failed to guard my left flank just as Moonburst broke through Terra's barrage and Beast Boy's squirrely attack. She momentarily disappeared from our visual range only to reappear at my left with a hard kick to my side, CRACK!! I screamed when I heard and felt my ribs snap like twigs within my body, but it didn't stop there. Moonburst, like a rag-doll, picked me up with my cape and flew over head to hold me hostage as Terra and Beast Boy screamed my name in horror.
She threw me in the air so she could grab me and hold me at a better angle and with every movement the pain intensified in my side as she snickered, "Your body is as fragile as a Janitka flower, it will be easy for me to pluck your limbs like petals from its stem."
Oh Azar … oh Gods … the pain … it hurt so much … I coughed … I tasted copper-iron, blood, internal bleeding, Great, I sneered and gulped just before I croaked. Moonburst snarled and shook me, "What was that? Speak up!"
I flinched as I reached up and clenched my mirror fragment still dangling on my chest, I huffed and repeated myself even louder for her to hear me, "Get over yourself." With the fragment in my hand I snapped my hand up and jammed the pointed end of the two inch long shard into her left eye-socket.
She screamed in agony as she dropped me and I plummeted to my doom her laser-eyes going haywire as she to fell from the sky and landed with me on a rooftop. I dropped with a gasp as a pulse of energy radiated out from me, my mirror shard was destroyed, the gateway to my soul. I was always told to take care of it, to never break it, but never told why … now that a piece had been obliterated, what did that mean? Another pulse of energy left me and darkness started to cloud my mind, dark thoughts, evil thoughts, inhuman thoughts … my demon was awakening and it was coming to with a vengeance after I had sealed it away for so long.
I scrambled to try and stop it, but in the process of concentration Moonburst in a fit of rage for the loss of her eye kicked my stomach and nearly knocked me unconscious. I might as well have been for in a desperate attempt to escape the unbearable pain I reached out and embraced the demon in me. Moonburst shouted something at me, I wasn't aware of it, but as she cocked her leg back and brought it down to bare down on me as hard as she could I grabbed her ankle and dug my black talons into her flesh. A scream got stuck in her throat as I lifted her up, high into the air, and towered over the world with shadows of hell and tentacles of despair leaking out all around me.
Four glowing red eyes pierced Moonburst's suddenly pale white face, fear had drained all of her color, and as I contorted my body to glare at her from her point of view she found her voice and screamed for her brother, "Ja'marnixzz!!"
Her scream excited me and I licked the side of her face to taste her fear, but she slapped me away and in a fit of rage I whipped her around and slammed her into the rooftop so hard I was sure I rattled something in that cocoon she called a skull. I opened my cloak and with it I engulfed her in darkness as I cupped her in my wings, drowning in that intoxicating aroma of her fear I chuckled, "Would you like me to tell you what I want to do to you …?"
She cringed away from my touched when I tried to gently run my talons down the length of my face, she cried and pleaded, but I cupped her mouth to silence her, her fear in her eyes was so delicious, "Shh-shh-shh … hush now … there's no one here but you and me … you don't have to worry about anyone else knowing our true nature …" I pulled my hand from her mouth and cocked my arm back with a malicious gleam, I couldn't wait to paint myself a masterpiece with her blood, "Sing for me!"
She screamed … ah … music to my ears.
A pity she only lasted a few seconds as I dug my talons into her abdomen and sank my hand in until I clutched her spinal-cord, that's when she silenced her screaming, and choked on her tongue when she could no longer stand the pain. Her lips turned blue, her eyes were streaming with tears and in my disappointment for her lack of stamina I snapped her spine and pulled my bloody hand from her body while her mouth leaked with her internal fluids. I pulled my darkness back into me as I stood up and stared down at her blood drenched body. I tilted my head in curiosity and lifted up my right hand to stare at the crimson hues that swirled and dripped down my arm and elbow to the rooftop beneath me.
I smirked … no … my demon smirked when I submerged itself back into my darkness with a promise to enjoy me suffer guilty-agony for killing a third life. I began to shake as the beginnings of panic, shame, guilt, and confusion swelled up and I grew dizzy in nausea and disbelief. Oh Gods no! Why?! Why wasn't I told that every piece of my mirror was apart of the reason why it's been so easy for me to control my demon-half?!
I was just in the middle of a total mental breakdown when I heard a rage filled roar appeared behind me. I turned to look and had the wind knocked out of me when Strongheart threw himself at me and we both tripped over the edge of the rooftop to sail through the air for a brief period before we slammed into the pavement below us. I had the sense enough to elicit a shield in order to cushion my fall and kick Strongheart off me once we hit rock bottom. The honest, sincere regret I felt for killing his sister would have to wait, Strongheart wanted me dead and apparently my demon was only going to appear when it wanted to. So regret or not I was not going to go down easy.
I braced and glanced around for the rest of my team, but cursed when I realized that Strongheart tackled me on the opposite side of the building and into a secluded, limited maneuverability backstreet. He still managed to scramble back to his feet and turn to pin me with a heated green glare as he launched a concentrated energy beam out of his eyes to melt me. I dodged it the best with how small I space I to the work with. Half-flying, half running on the wall I flipped over the beam and landed back on the ground as debris from the brick walls rained on me. I brought forth my power (careful of summoning my demon again), "Azarath! Metrion! Zinthous!"
I grabbed a dumpster, a metal trashcan, and wooden crates to throw at the raging Tameranian as I flew back to avoid his wrath. He smashed through everything I could get my powers on and just my luck my back hit a misplaced dumpster just as Strongheart cornered me and raised a glowing fist to pound into my face. I flipped over the dumpster and levitated in the air when he sent the object hurtling into a brick building. I attempted to fly higher to get away from him, but he managed to grab my ankle and harshly he threw me to the ground. I rolled away from him when he stomped his foot on the ground where my head use to be and ran to get some distance between us.
I pumped my legs as hard as I could and when I looked up I couldn't believe I saw X skid into the backstreet from an alley with Blackfire in tow. They looked like they were looking for something and when X swung his head around to me his domino Robin-look-alike masked eyes widened, "Raven!"
I didn't have time to feel relieved or pissed-off that he didn't run when he had the chance because Strongheart managed to grab my damn cape and all but choked me with it as he yanked me back to him. I felt the heat of his other hand charged with enough energy to end my life for good. I braced to fall on his energy ball, but gasped and instead fell flat on my ass when nothing happened. Confused I looked back and my mouth fell open when I saw five X blades littered throughout his body and then I narrowed my eyes, He took the shot with me blocking Strongheart? No way he's that good …
But the evidence was there … anti-climactically, Strongheart was dead.
"Well …" Blackfire snickered, "That's one way to get rid of the bastard."
I turned back around to see X jogging the distance to help me back on me feet, all the while Blackfire sauntered in our general direction looking just as disheveled as X and I, but calmer about it. Flippantly she flicked her fizzy hair over her shoulder and crossed her arms while X jerked me to my feet and growled, "Jesus Christ Raven, you look like Hell …"
"I'll be fine," I sneered as I pulled my, bloody arm from X's inspection, "It's not mine, what are you and Blackfire still doing here?"
Blackfire answered for him, "Stakeout, we were making sure you Titans were enough to handle the siblings from Hell, because if you weren't we were going to lend a helping hand. And judging by the mess …" she hissed and condescendingly she rolled her eyes, "You're lucky to have our help, that's all I'm saying."
I glared, "Malchior and Lucas?"
X huffed the topic obviously not interesting enough for him to take seriously, "Back at Steel City, we were covering our basis."
I growled, "So you thought you could take on well trained Tameranian powerhouses by yourselves?"
"I saved your ass didn't I?"
"Don't make this about me."
He scoffed, but despite his annoyance I saw the relieved smirk on his tempting lips, "You really got a problem with me saving your life don't you?"
"What I have a problem with is you palling around me while my team is still out here somewhere, probably looking for me."
Blackfire snorted, "Oh, don't worry, they're not looking for you yet, they're still amazed by the carnage you left back on the roof."
I tensed at the memory and looked away from her to glare at the ground.
She tilted her head and leaned down at me with a sadistic smirk, "You sure you're on the right side of the line here Rae-Rae?"
"Get outta here Blackfire, you don't need to be here," X shooed.
Blackfire sneered a biting remark at the tip of her tongue, but for whatever reason that eluded me she held herself back and huffed with a flick of her wrist, "You know where I'll be."
She silently made her exit while X sighed heavily and placed an arm around my shoulder and lead me away from Strongheart's body when I began to feel his very dead, very cold presences send an unsettling chill down my spine. I bit down hard on my lower lip when I felt X stop and turn to face me his hands on my shoulders before he hooked a finger under my chin so I could look into his masked eyes. I wish I could see his golden hues instead, but with a huff I dispelled such a silly desire and looked away from him when he tried to offer his comfort by saying, "Some people, don't have that killer instinct Rae, and it's –"
I cut him off before he could continue to play councilor, he wasn't good at it, "And you do?"
He blinked and shrugged as he dryly glanced at the Tameranian maniac he killed not five minutes ago, "I just don't let it get to me as much as you do … you should get back to your team."
I sucked in a deep breath to help calm the approaching dread and despair I felt for taking another life as I nodded and lifted up a hand to rest it thankfully on his chest. I wanted to hug him, or something of that nature just to let him know how glad I was for his wellbeing, but again I quickly dispelled that silly desire and slipped away from him. Drudgingly I began to walk away from X, but when I looked up it was frickin' hard to miss him, but the traffic-light of a leader I had was standing at the end of the alley glaring daggers in our general direction.
I went dizzy for a second and for another second considered that I either hit my head too hard or I was hallucinating, but I knew I wasn't when Robin suddenly let a bird-a-rang rip through the air aimed point-blank at X's heart. Pure instinct kicked in, I raised a hand and erected a shield that caught the sharp object inches before it hit X and rendered it virtually harmless on the ground. After that, I stood in speechless, motionless shock when X launched himself at Robin and engaged in a reckless fight that was not fit for a tiny alley. I leaned up against the wall when Robin was thrown in my direction, but as nimble as he was he managed to correct his flight, flipped, and skidded on the ground. He glared up at me and I stared down at him with a stupefied look on my face.
I gulped when he looked away from me and fell into a back flip before throwing a handful of bird-a-rangs at X who dodged them all and rushed him before throwing a few of his own little toys. Robin whipped out his bo-staff and knocked the projectiles off course as he charged X and jumped up to slam his staff down on the thief's head, but X had already activated his spinning X's and locked Robin's staff in mid-spin. With momentum X shoved Robin away from him and I gasped and ducked when X attempted a wide swing and nearly cleaved my head off in the process.
Sparks flew as the spinning blades sliced through the brick wall where my head use to be like butter. I scrambled for cover when X fell against that same wall after Robin managed to knock him off his feet. He cringed and my mouth fell open when Robin pressed his staff to his neck, I heard X gag and chuckle, "What's with all the hostilities, why can't we be friends?"
Robin growled and applied more pressure that made X flinch and cough as he slowly lost oxygen, "I'm not your friend."
X snickered despite his discomfort, "Funny, because she sure is."
I thought he was talking about me and I wondered why the hell would he rub salt into the wound before I remembered who exactly I was inquiring about and dismissed the thought as I again, not thinking things through powered-up to save X, but I was beaten to the punch. Blackfire swooped in over head and with a well aimed starbolt that exploded at Robin's feet, the boy-wonder stumbled back and X tripped him to the ground before he reached up a hand to let Blackfire take him away. He left me alone to deal with Robin's wrath and I wasn't disheartened about it, I was actually glad Blackfire saved him in the knick of time.
While I watched Blackfire and X take off higher and faster till I could no longer see them, I heard Robin cuss as he pushed himself back on his feet and dusted off the grime and dirt from his shoulder. He huffed and took a breather before he slowly turned to face me, I stood perfectly still and almost stopped myself from breathing entirely when he stalked me and stopped just inches in front of me. His height something to fear, his anger something to behold, and his tone of voice was something to tremble at when all he said to me was, "When we get back."
A promise I was sure held a much darker meaning behind it.
And true enough when Starfire finally flew down from the rooftop to be with Robin she flinched when she saw me and tried to smile while she said, "We are … victorious …"
"Let's get back to the tower." Robin suddenly said without reserve as he curtly stormed away from Starfire and knocked his shoulder against mine in his hurry to get out of the alley. Starfire, in her confusion and worry glanced at me curiously before quickly following after her boyfriend like the loyal girlfriend she was. I could have been meaner, nastier, but what would be the point? So I conceded and kept my mouth tightly shut, even as Terra and Beast Boy stared at me anxiously; I pulled up my hood, bowed my head, and flew myself back to the Tower to receive my due punishment.
Was I remorseful?
Hell yeah, but I wasn't about to apologize for anything I've done.
Could I runaway right now?
Sure I could … but where would I go?
I don't know where X lives, the only place I know for sure is in Steel City, but that would be a huge risk for me to take seeing as Robin would put the word out that I was on the run. Not to mention I was now banished from Azarath … damn … I have the worse luck. Running would complicate the matter, but I know talking was out of the question. If Robin planned on interrogating me than so be it, but I won't say anything to bring X down. If he wanted information he could go to Speedy and get answers from him, assuming of course Speedy hadn't already told him everything he knew of X on our little trip to Azarath.
I sighed heavily as I phased through the roof of the Tower and into the Ops Room where the entire team regrouped and everyone stood relatively silent, contemplative, and apprehensive around me. That is, until Robin entered the room did the atmosphere change and the full weight of what was about to happen finally hit me. This was it, this was the last home I had, and I'd lose it to … I would really have no where to go after this. Could I live with that?
I gulped and with my hood still up and my head still bowed I opened my mouth and started, "I –"
"We all need a break," Robin cut me off, and I narrowed my eyes suspiciously as he pulled the rest of the team's attention to him and off of me, "why don't we all take five before we discuss what had just happened … I'll be in the Observation Room if anyone needs me."
A break?
Seriously?
Was this the same Robin I knew or did X hit him on the head too hard?
I glared at him skeptically as he walked passed me into the hall that lead to his quarters. I stood in the middle of the Ops Room wracking my brain trying to find meaning in this sudden change of events, but I didn't get the joke. Finally, after what felt like ages I looked up into Terra's eyes as the geomancer stood before me, she waved her hand in my face in an effort to pull me from my daze. She failed miserably; I barely acknowledged her presences before I turned tail and all but ran to Robin's Observation Room. I got so far as the turn in his general direction before I stopped and felt his presences behind me.
I spun around and found him leaning against the corner wall leading to my room.
He scowled at me and with little hint as to what he wanted me to do he turned his back and headed for the stairs to the top floor … again, up to my room. I followed with a sneered as he shoved open the doors to the stairwell and the echoes of our steps and swishing capes filled the enclosed space that acted as a funnel for noise. I called to him, "Robin."
He ignored me.
I flew up the rest of the way and stopped him before he reached the seventh floor, my floor, with a hand held out to keep him from further advancement. Why? I didn't even know what the hell I was going to say to him. Was there really anything to say when my every action in the alley explained it all? He leaned on the rail and through his brows he glared at me cold and cruelly, "Go to your room, pack up what you can, give me your communicator, and then leave."
He's kicking me out, I concluded as the chilling sensation of the truth came down on me and drowned me in cold water. I licked my lips as he completed the last few steps to stand – to tower – over me with his impressive height, I kept my head bowed away from him while in a small voice inquired, "Why not just send me to jail?"
He huffed; I glanced up at him through the shadows of my hood and watched him shake his head before running his fingers through his spiked hair. He shot me a dark look before saying, "Because that'll be too easy for you … Raven … you know what to do to stop this from happening, this is your last chance: give X up … or give me your communicator …"
I huffed and finally looked up at him with a dry face, "How long have you known?"
Robin frowned and his harshness dimmed to a minimum as he fell against the closest wall in exhaustion, "From the beginning … I was jogging on the beach when I saw you and him pull up at the docks in the X-bike … it didn't take long for me to connect the dots from there …"
"So why didn't you do anything about it then?"
"Because I trust you …"
I closed my eyes and softly said, "… That's a mistake …"
"I know that now …" he turned to me and held out his hand, "… but still, last chance …"
Last chance … those two words were never more right than they were now …
I looked away when the thought of the Titans being the only home I had left came to mind just after X fluttered from my thoughts, "Okay …"

Disclaimer: Don't own the Teen Titans, DC owns them, Strongheart and Moonburst are mine though, well … were mine before they went bye-bye …
A/N: I got lazy, didn't feel like going through it and correcting the mistakes, so sorry about that, hope it wasn't too bad, but the point has come across clear enough I think. Poor Raven, she's really not having a very good day … I'll update as soon as I can, this week is finals so after I get'em done and over with I should have the next chapter up and running for you.
Thanks for all your support guys, luv you!!
L8er daez!!
