A/N: So I heard this creepy song on Tumblr and I just had to write this. I know that I'm writing a ton of stories at once, but I really don't want to lose the motivation to do this idea so I decided to write it while I have it. Please no flames.
The door of the evidence room opened and Starfire walked in. She walked over to Robin, who was hunched over clippings of recent newspaper articles.
"You must take a break, Friend." Starfire said, "You have been in here for many hours."
"I need to figure this out, Starfire." Robin said. He peered closer at the clippings and murmured to himself, "How is this possible?"
"How is what possible?" Starfire asked. Robin looked up at her.
"This. The children just disappeared without trace. What could have taken them?" he asked that last part to himself.
"I do not know." Starfire said, "But sitting in here for hours will not help. Come! We have ordered the pizza!"
Robin sighed but let Starfire take his hand and lead him out of the room anyways.
A little break and some pizza won't hurt, he reasoned.
They walked into the main room and saw that everyone was already seated and eating pizza.
"Hey! You got him to come out!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"Heh, yeah." Robin was about to sit down and eat when the alarm suddenly went off.
"Aw, man. And I had just started eating!" Cyborg said.
"It doesn't matter." Robin said, "Titans, go!"
The five rushed to the T-car and drove to downtown. When they arrived, a strange fog enveloped the ground and a woman could be heard singing.
"Come little children, I'll take thee away. Into a land of enchantment. Come little children, the time's come to play here in my garden of shadows."
Beast Boy shivered, "Dude, that's really creepy."
"Come on!" Robin ran forward and the Titans followed. Soon, they could see a figure walking slowly away as many smaller figures followed it.
"Follow sweet children-"
"Stop!" Robin yelled. The singing stopped and they could see a young woman with long, dark, flowing hair in a white, sleeveless dress that billowed with the fog. She was also barefoot. The children that were following her stopped and looked around dazedly.
"Yes?" the woman asked in a sweet, melodic voice.
"Who are you? And what do you want with these kids?" Robin growled. The woman smiled at him.
"My name is Amata and I am here to protect these children." she said, smiling softly at them.
"Amata?" Beast Boy asked.
"It's Latin for Enchantress." Robin said, eyes narrowed, "And I don't believe you are protecting them. They need to go home."
"Home is not a happy place for them." the woman said, "They need love, nurturing, and freedom. I will not let you stop me."
The woman pulled something out of a pouch and blew it towards the Titans. It looked like fairy dust. The Titans tried to jump out of the way, but the dust followed them and swirled around them. The Titans' movements became slower before they couldn't move at all.
"H- hey! I can't move!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Do not worry." Amata said, "It will wear off. I hope to see you soon." She looked at Robin and tilted her head, "Especially you. I sense something in you…"
She shrugged, "Oh well. Come, children.
Come little children, I'll show thee the way."
The children stopped looked around in confusion and started following her again. There was a shimmer of light that Amata and the children walked into. The light grew brighter and then disappeared.
The dust wore off and the Titans collapsed to the ground. Robin growled and slammed his fist on the ground.
"We should have been able to get her!"
"We will get her next time." Raven said, "For now, I think we should do a little research."
Robin glared at the spot where Amata and the children disappeared and then turned and started walking towards the T-car.
"What did she mean?" Starfire asked, "When she said that sensed something in you?"
Robin shrugged, "I don't know, but whatever she was talking about probably isn't good. We need to figure out how to stop her and get the kids back before she kidnaps more kids."
The others nodded and they piled into the T-car. It took off and soon they were back at the Tower. As soon as they arrived, Robin headed straight for his room.
"Where are you going?" Cyborg asked.
"To do my own research." Robin said, "Raven, since she's an enchantress and obviously she is using some sort of spell, see if you can find anything about her or the spell in your books."
Raven nodded and headed to her room.
"What about us?" Beast Boy asked.
"Try to find out whatever you can." He started to walk away when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Starfire.
"May I come with you?" Starfire asked. Robin sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Sure, come on." The two left.
"…You thought that song was creepy too, right?" Beast Boy asked. Cyborg nodded.
"Way creepy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(BREAK LINE!)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Robin was researching on his computer about anything related to missing children and songs that could hypnotize them. Starfire was standing behind him and watching with worried eyes.
"You work too hard, Robin." she said.
Robin grunted, "I've worked harder before. I need to find these kids."
"I know that we are heroes and it is our job, but you deserve to have a break too."
"I'll have take a break once I figure out where the kids are and how to stop her." He turned to face Starfire, "I'm not going to let this woman separate any more families."
"You sound as if you know from experience." Starfire said.
Robin's eyes narrowed and he turned back to the computer.
"I'm not going to let this woman separate any more families."
A/N: Jeez, what is with me? Another disappearing children story? What does that say about me? Wait no, don't answer that. Anyways, the song is Come Little Children from the 1993 movie Hocus Pocus, except that it's a different version. If you want to hear it, tell me in a review or PM and I'll send you a link. I hope you enjoyed this! Review!
Love,
