Chapter 18

Tower at night is a Nightmare's delight

Raven couldn't help but yawn again as she parked the T Van carefully in the garage and steeped out of the vehicle.

"Come on girl not much further" she yawned as she walked over to the door and flicked the light switch on, but nothing happened. Raven just frowned as she continued to flick the switch up and down but to no avail, the lights didn't come on. Raven started to get a little afraid until she remembered that Cyborg kept a torch in the T van, for emergencies. Raven managed to keep her fear under control as she turned and walked back towards the T Van, she stopped whenever she noticed that it was gone, it had vanished into thin air.

"But I…" she stammered as her fear slowly began to take control of her. She panicked as she looked about for the van but saw only darkness. She then heard laughter all around her as she ran through the door that lead to the main living area of the tower, she tried to calm herself down by chanting slowly under her breath as she remembered what corridor her bedroom was in. Suddenly out of the darkness she could have sworn she heard someone whistling a tune. She froze, her heart beating furiously in her chest, as she listened carefully until she heard the whistling again. The room began spinning as she trembled in fear, she wanted to scream but found that she couldn't she was terrified, she no longer knew where she was she was lost in the dark.

"Aww what's the matter afraid of the dark?" laughed a voice from the darkness all around her. The voice sounded so close to her face but she saw nothing in front of her. Suddenly a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and illuminated the room revealing a face right in front of her face, staring at her with cold black eyes, she screamed as loud as she could making the face smile at her sadistically.

"Look up" the face hissed before it disappeared as the light in the room faded. Raven didn't want to look up but she couldn't stop herself from doing so, suddenly a body fell from the ceiling and pinned her to the floor. She creamed again as she desperately struggled to free herself from underneath the body, as it's blood spilled on to her clothes.

"Are you seriously telling me that the famous Raven is afraid of the dark and a coat?" laughed the voice as Raven looked down and saw that the body she was pinned under was actually a red coat, "God you have changed Goth Girl"

"Why are you this?" Raven called out into the darkness as she held herself and tried to regain control of her fear. Another bolt of lightning flashed past the tower revealing Nightmare standing in front of raven with a boys head in his hands.

"Here catch" he hissed as he tossed the head at Raven who caught it thinking it was another trick. She screamed and ran out of the room as she discovered that the head was real. Nightmare just laughed as he followed her whistling as he walked. Raven ran down the first corridor she came to and stopped outside the first door she saw.

"Leave me alone Onyx" she screamed as she struggled to open the door, her hands where covered in sweat and trembling because her fear. She breathed a huge sigh of relief as she heard the lock click, causing the door to swing open slightly. She opened the door fully and came face to face with Nightmare, who just looked at her and smiled.

"I'm not Onyx anymore" he hissed as he watched her run screaming down the corridor towards the training room, "Why does that always happen whenever I met girls?" he sighed cheerfully as he followed his terrified prey, whistling his merry tune as he walked.

"Raziel?" smiled Robin as he watched his old friend step out of the shadows and look him smiling slightly.

"I am happy to see you as well my friend" smiled Raziel as he held out his hand to robin. Robin was about to shake his hand until he decided at the last minute to throw his arms around the wraith and hug him. The hug caught Raziel off guard but he son relaxed and returned the hug as he smiled over to Chaos.

"Hey what about me?" pouted the girl as she leapt out of the shadows and ran over to Robin, throwing her arms around the surprised Robin and Raziel.

"Angel" frowned Robin as he placed an ram around her and smiled, the tears in his eyes showed them how happy he was. Angel just smiled back as she wiped away her own tears and hugged Robin even tighter.

"Ahem" coughed Chaos as he walked up to them, frowning slightly.

"Ahh just in the fun dear brother" laughed Genesis as she leapt at robin and joined in on the group hug.

"Behold the saviour of life" sighed Chaos as he shook his head and watched the group hug, he couldn't help but smile a little.

Raven found herself standing in the training room, which like everywhere else was pitch black.

"Wait I know where I am" she said to herself as she began to feel her way through the dark until she eventually came to a door at the far end of the room.

"No don't be locked" she whimpered as she struggled to open the door.

"Aww leaving so soon…and I wanted to show you my big surprise" cried Nightmare as he entered the room and stared directly at Raven. Raven slowly turned around and looked at him standing in the centre of the room smiling at her. He terrified her and Nightmare knew it, he watched her tremble with perverse glee. Nightmare laughed as he raised his left hand and filled the room with a eerie red light. Raven strangely felt more comfortable in this light as the darkness around her disappeared, that is until she saw what the light had revealed. All around her lay bodies, hundreds of bodies, some of them where girls, some of them boys and some of them weren't even human. She screamed as she fell over one and landed in a puddle of blood behind her. They where all looking at her, their yes where looking into her soul, she shut her eyes and wished for them to go away.

"And now for the surprise" laughed Nightmare as he pointed at the wall behind him and illuminated it with the same red light. Raven didn't want look but she felt her eyes slowly opening and wandering up to the wall that Nightmare pointed to. She screamed as she saw the most terrifying thing of them all. She saw her friends hanging from the ceiling, their bodies had been mutilated and ripped to pieces but she knew it was them. Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg and robin all of them where just hanging there lifeless as their blood dripped onto the floor their lifeless eyes looking down at her, blaming her for their deaths. She screamed again as she felt her head getting light and the room started to spin, she collapsed onto the floor and lay amongst the bodies, their blood covered her body. The last thing she heard was Nightmares evil laugh before she blacked out and slipped into darkness.

"I was right that was fun" laughed Nightmare as he dispelled his illusions and returned the room to normal and walked over to Raven, "I have such delicious things still to do you dear sweet Raven" he hissed as he knelt down and kissed her before picking her up and vanishing in a pillar of darkness.

"What are you doing here?" Robin asked as he eventually pried himself from Genesis's and Angel's grips.

"We're here to help" replied Angel as she let go of Raziel and looked at Robin, smiling as usual.

"The small one is speaking the truth" smiled Raziel as he tore Genesis from his body and looked over at Robin, "We are here to help you fight". Angel stuck her tongue out at Raziel whenever he mentioned that she was small. Robin couldn't believe what he had just heard, did they just say there where here to help me he thought as he had the sudden urge to hug them again but managed to control himself.

"That's right Robin they are here to help you but only once you have walked a certain path" said Genesis as she floated back over to her brother and smiled at Robin. Chaos just looked at Robin, his face seemed completely void of emotion.

"What path?" asked Robin as he turned and looked at Chaos and Genesis raising an eyebrow in the process.

"The path you must walk will only become visible to you with unseeing eyes" replied Chaos as he sat back down and looked at Robin. Robin just looked at Chaos in confusion as he tried to figure what the god was talking about, "Don't worry Robin like most things in life you will understand when the time comes".

"Don't sweat it Rob with me and Raziel on your side you can't possibly lose" smiled Angel as she leapt on Robin and started to rub his hair.

"Thanks Angel" smiled Robin as he pushed Angel off him looked at her and Raziel standing side by side.

"Oh and one more thing, would you please call me by the name I had in life ok" Angel asked as she looked at Robin with a certain twinkle in her eyes. There was something about that twinkle that reminded Robin of someone he knew in his past but he couldn't remember.

"And that was?" Robin asked as he looked at Angel in confusion, trying to remember who she reminded him off. Angel just winked slyly at him and opened her mouth.

"Terra"
