Tara Raymond The Quest (Completed)

Leaving

  "What do you mean leaving?" Kaldur asked. "I mean I'm leaving the team, the city, the state." I said as we are making our way back to the cave. "Why?" Wally asked. "Because I cause destruction, pain. I can't harm or put the people I care about in harm. So all I can do is leave." It was silent until we reached the cave when Wally broke the silence with,"What about us?" I stopped and faced Wally. "Wally I love you, but I can't put you in harm. So we have to break up. I can't see you, be with you, or love you. I'm leaving and you can't stop me. I'm cutting all the ties with the team. As far as the world knows, Dark Flame is dead. She died. Dark Flame was evil and was a trader. Killed hundreds of people. She was never your friend." I said so everyone could hear me. 

   Robin came in and said," You've kept this a secret from us for months. That's why you left to go to that school. You didn't want to pick up the mask again. You quit. That's why you didn't want to come back, because you knew you would get dragged back into the team. That's why you didn't tell us." "Yeah. But don't you understand. Everytime I put on that mask, I become someone who has hurt people. I can't be her anymore. I have to protect, Troy. I have to protect my best friends. So that's why I'm leaving with Harley. She's taking me somewhere so I don't have to be her anymore. I don't have to become a killer. I can live a normal teenage life. I know someone who can take away my powers. So I don't hurt anyone anymore." 

"So that's it. You've lied to us all long. You're just going to leave." Wally said. "How do we know you won't tell our secrets." "Because I know that one person here believe's me, because I knew his identity before you knew it. When he started the gig, I knew it. He believes me." I said looking straight at Robin. "I have to go." I said. As I walked to the Zatatube I took the last look around, the only safe place I had. I knew what was going to happen. And I don't want to be here when it does. I left the cave and never looked back.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A/N This is the last chapter besides for the epilogue. I have had fun writing the series and epilogue will hurt me to write but I hope you liked the book and please don't get mad at me for breaking Wally and Tara up. It will get better.
