Once again you stand in the strange room surrounded by old clay walls. You vaguely wonder what you are doing in here again you feel something in your grasp and you look down with a gasp. You see another paper crinkled and torn. The voice comes back as your eyes train the words.

Here we are again, a trap for all men.

As you stroll through the dark. You feel a tug at you heart.

I'm warning you. What are you going to do?

When will you know? He's waiting for the final blow.

Don't you see the danger? Why we hung this story on a hanger?

You unleashed mortal peril. But you are full of greedy desire.

Turn your eyes. Before we lose more lives.

You are the one he has despised.

The world fades to black. Your ears ringing as the last words sunk into your mind.

They once again pleaded for the shadow to leave them be, to not kill them. "Accept your fate with dignity, I've been waiting"

And that's when the screaming ceased.

The titans were sitting in their living room watching TV "I love my car- I use mine in the shower" well, they were channel surfing. "Please don't leave Bob-" "Josie I-" "How many antelope can we find Jack?" "I'd say-" "Run Jeffrey Run!-" "I like tacos" "Breaking news: Haunted mansion tour guests went missing, there is no-" "Tobacco? No I said Tomacco" "Come to cheesy cheese-"

"Wait goes back to the news!" Robin's words brought the trio's channel surfing to an abrupt halt. Going back to the channel suggested they were mildly surprised to see the Mansion on the news. "What do you think happened Mr. Mayor?" The reporter asked. "I-I don't know. But it will be closed until further notice" Mike said in an authority filled voice. "What" A gruff voice said. "You heard me" Mike said. "Well it better not is closed for long... I didn't spend all this time furnishing and buying the land for nothing. Fix the problem" A man with a big black robe said to the Mayor. "And there you have it" The repeater said as it went back to the weather.

Suddenly a phone rang in the tower and Robin picked it up. "Hello?" Robin asked. "Hello Robin, I-I need you to investigate the mansion. People are going missing and the owner is upset that the mansion is being closed during inspection. Can you all come overnight and check it out? Please Robin I need your help!" Mike pleaded to the teen leader. "No problem I will have my team ready before nightfall" Robin said into the phone. Mike sighed relived. "Thank you. We will open the doors for you at 9:30 thank you so much" "Ok, we will be there." Robin hung up interrupting another string of 'thank yous.'

All four titans were staring at Robin with curiosity flashing in their eyes. Robin smirked and said "Titans, we are investigating the haunted mansion. Get yourself packed up for the night and get some rest. We are to be there on the dot of 9:30. Titans go!" And the titans went to pack.

The Titans stood in front of the ominous building and the skies were darkened and. was that the rumble of thunder in the distance? Robin walked up to the door and opened it carefully then ushered his team inside. "Alright, we are here to investigate this building and see what's up. Cyborg, you go with Starfire. Raven, you go with Beastboy. I will search alone, any questions?" Robin asked.

There was a loud bang and everyone seemed to jump. Starfire squealed and the other four yelped. "Uh, yeah why are you walking alone?" Beastboy exclaimed. "So we can cover more ground" was Robin's cool answer. "Dude, this is a haunted house, if we go alone we will be picked off one by one. Remember the whole wicked scary fiasco?" Beastboy explained in a 'what is wrong with you didn't you learn anything' voice. "Yes but we need too-" Robin was cut off. "No Robin you will come with me and friend Cyborg" Starfire said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Alright, we will search the left wing. You all search the right. Meet back here when you are finished, or if the room adjoin and we meet up with each other alright" Robin said. Everyone nodded and Robin said his infamous catchphrase and the Titans were exploring the scene.

-With Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin.

"Robin I do not see anything in here it looks like a nice dining room" Starfire said as she looked at the welcoming giant dining table complete with golden plated and cutlery. There were many candles and Starfire lite a few of them up making the atmosphere very welcoming. "Just keep looking, once we have done a thorough search of this room we will move on. I just want to find a hint of what's going on here." Robin said as he searched through some boxes.

Cyborg looked around moving things to see if there was anything hidden. So distracted by their search they didn't see a shadow with unusual glowing eyes watching them and then phased through the walls toward a familiar pair.

"Starfire I think this room is clear, Cyborg let's move on" Robin said as the trio walked into the next room. "Ok search the kitchen and hide any utensils that could be used to harm us" Robin said and Starfire promptly blew up every piece of silverware in the room, luckily this included the stash of infamous kitchen butcher knives that won't be used for anything involving cutting flesh anymore. The knives went to cutlery heaven, well, if there is a cutlery heaven…

"Ok this is a dead end so we will just turn back and-" Robin was interrupted by a scream- distinctively female. Once Robin realized it wasn't Starfire he voice the next course of action "Titans Go!" And they were off sprinting down the hall.

-With Raven and Beastboy.

They were walking down the hall in silence when they came upon a room. They walked inside and realized it was a guest bedroom. They investigated it quickly and walked into the next room. They realized that this hall must be where the living quarters are. "Hey Raven" he received an inquisitive look in response. "Do you think there is anything, well here, in the house?" He asked as he watched her look around the room. "I don't know" she finally said. She turned towards him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Do you think there's something here?" She asked him. He felt like a deer in the headlights and rubbed the back of his head. "Well to tell you the truth I don't really know. All of my senses have been on edge. I don't know what to think" He replied honestly. Raven nodded and continued her search. "This room is clear" She said and they left to go into the last room.

"Now don't try to tell me this place doesn't freak you out Rae" Beastboy said as he sifted through boxes. "I never said that" she said unable to keep the indignation out of her voice. "So you are scared" He asked. "I would say I wasn't, but we both know that's a lie" Raven said as she picked up a book.

Beastboy shrugged and they finished searching the room in silence they finished up and were walking back to the greeting room (the room all five started in). They walked inside and sat and waited. Raven begun to search around and Beastboy sat and looked around occasionally watching Raven or looking at the elaborate chandelier over the steps.

"So Rae, when do you think that Robin and all of them will come back?" He asked but received no response. "Rae" he asked tentatively. He looked over and saw she was staring at something in horror, she seemed not to have heard Beastboy's question. Beastboy's eyes slowly followed her line of vision and he came upon a sight he hoped not to see.

There was the shadow with its eerie eyes and dark form. It watched Raven and a diabolical smirk split its face. It held its hand up a black ghostly thing with sharp claws all red. He seemed to say something and then vanished at the same time a scream emitted through the air and Raven fell to the ground. "Raven!" Beastboy cried as he ran over to her. "Are you okay" he asked worriedly.

"It was just as I feared" she murmured and at that moment Robin and his two followers burst through a door. "What happened are you ok" He yelled and ran over. "Yeah I'm ok" Raven said as she stood up. "Just startled that's all" she shrugged and her emotionless mask was back in place. "Dude we saw this scary shadow dude with glowy eyes and red claws and he was like a black ghost all shadow he was freaky" Beastboy exclaimed into the leader's face.

"Yo man chill" Cyborg said. "Please, what is this 'shadow dude?'" Starfire asked. "What are you talking about?" Robin asked. "I am not lying I saw him so did Raven, right Raven" He said as he looked to his right. "Yes I saw him. I think we should all stay together to discourage another appearance. This thing seemed… Dark" Raven said to her comrades. "Ok, if that's what you think I guess that's what we'll do. Titans, let's search upstairs" Robin said and the gang traveled up the stairs, the shadow staring at them as if there were targets on their backs.
