Chapter 1: Only the Beginning (PROLOGUE)

"Robin stop!" Starfire pleaded. I don't know what I was doing here, or why I was attacking my friends. But I did know that what was happening made them afraid of me. But...why? Why was this happening.

Suddenly, I had no control of what I was doing. I braced myself as I attacked.

As I walked past the bodies of the people who were once my friends, but now gone, I thought about how all this happened. How? Why? I would NEVER hurt my friends. We're a team. I knealt down to look at my reflection in a puddle of water.

I touched it, and looked at my hand. This wasn't water anymore, it was ... blood!

I gasped as my eyes flew open. I looked around, thinking: "Oh ... it was just a dream." I heard knocking on my door, and Starfire's voice that said: "Robin? Are you the okay? I heard you scream."

"Yeah Star. Just a bad dream." I replied through the door.

"Oh, okay. As long as you are feeling the alright." I heard footsteps, and I figured she left. "No, I'm not feeling alright. I feel like a monster ... And this is only the beginning." I silently said.
