A Dark Star

Chapter Three

Raven was knocked back into reality. Star started shaking with fear. Raven got up off the bed and got in front of the corner.

"Get out." She growled in her monotone. Then the tension in the room lifted. Star breathed in and out silently like she'd been holding her breath for hours. She held the long forgotten communicator in her hand. Robin was still on the screen. Waving frantically.

"Star!" She shook her head clearing her eyes of the trance like state she had been in.

"Yes?"

"I wont you all to come home. Now. I'm very worried about you...and Raven. I need you guys here."

"Alright" Raven said. She took the small device from Star and closed up hanging up a annoyed Robin.

They walked down to the car and climbed in with their stuff and they teleported back to the tower. Robin was waiting in the Ops. Room and when Star walked in he grabbed her in a hug.

"I was so worried! Were all sleeping in here tonight! Just in case that thing comes back."

"Ok." They both grumbled.

A few hours later

The entire ops room was filled with sleeping bags, snacks, lanterns, etc. Robin was being very paranoid. He made sure that everyone had a partner. (Raven,BB;Star,Robin,;Cy,BB) It was like four in the morning when they finished and Star was curled up in a giant sleeping bag with Robin. She was scared and he didn't blame her. He would be too. He stroked her hair and calmed her. Then they both drifted off into a sleep that contained dreams of the other.

Around 4:55, Beast Boy apalmnd Raven couldn't sleep they kept tossing and turning. BB turned to the small sleeping bag beside his. "Raven" He whispered "Are you awake?"

Raven considered not answering. "Yes." She finally said

"Can I tell you something if you promise not to kill me."

"Ok." Her back was to him.

"Raven look at me please." He whimpered. She turned to him.

"Raven I-I just wanted to say. That I love you. I've been afraid to admit it. But I do. It's ok if you don't like me back." He turned over away from here tears threatening to spill over.

"Beast Boy" She said touching his arm. "Yea." He said turning over.

She played it over in her mind quickly. But then she breathed in. She leaned over and touched her lips to his. It was an innocent kiss. Not the kind she caught Rob and Star doing one time. But just a small innocent kiss. "I love you too." They smiled at one another when they too drifted off into unconsciousness.

A the titans woke up at the same time. A loud thump had come from the hallway. Star went up to the door.

"Star no!" But robin was too late. The door had open and something grabbed her leg. She was yanked down the hall and the door slammed shut. There were high pitched shrieks heard though out the entire room.

The titans were giving the door everything they had but it wouldn't budge . Finally the door opened and spit Star out. There were long claw marks on here left leg and right arm.

"STAR!" Robin yelled and rushed over too her. He cradled her body and told her it was ok. Raven healed the wounds.

Star looked to Robin. "I know what it is."

"What?"

"Apparently the room we caught that footage in was in room 502. In 1928 the nurse of heads (Head Nurse) was found dead. She had been doing the hanging of herself. Ever since that room has been most haunted. (That is true). She was actually told to do it. By Ak-Ash. A black mass of smoke and flames. It prys off of fear."

The Titans have not seen the fire ghost or heard from it until a year later and that day was halloween. The day this happened was halloween.
