Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans

"Why didn't you just fly me over, Starfire? I could have been killed!" Cyborg screamed, hands on his knees. She gave an innocent shrug. "I did not think about it. Anyways, what if I got my powers back only when I am really furious or in need of protection? I mean back there I was just petrified and was not thinking straight. And you would not have been killed. You just would have fallen through."
Cyborg glared. "Yeah, and if I fell I would have drown in a pool of blood from God knows where."
"But you didn't." Raven said, pushing open the wooden door. Demons of all shape and size were carved into the wood. Starfire traced the wood and shuddered. I hope Robin is all right. They walked into the parlor and the first thing they saw were bodies lined up against the wall, chained and bloodied. Most were dead, but other watched them with fear, and they started to scream.
Cyborg swallowed the bile that rose in his throat. "God, this is so sick."
Starfire covered her nose with her hands, the smell of rotting flesh and blood clogging up the room. Raven started to move, never taking her eyes off the poor people. She walked into the closest room, and gagged at the stench. It was worse than in the parlor.
Raven slammed the door, making Cyborg and Starfire jumped. Starfire rubbed her arms, as if cold, and turned around. Cyborg shook his head, watching the people scream for help.
"Shouldn't we get them down? This is not right." The girls nodded and they started to pull the people down. Starfire tried to use star bolts, but it was futile. She was powerless again. "My powers are gone again." She said, her shoulders slumping.
Cyborg pulled the chains out of the wall, and the people against the wall slumped forward against him, and he slowly pushed them off, sitting them against the wall. When he was done, the women cried and the men thanked him. He watched as they ran out the door, most limping and the ones who where strong enough carried the dead bodies out.
Starfire smiled. "I am glad they are all free now." Raven nodded, opening the door she had tried earlier. The screams had stopped, but the reek of blood was stronger than before.
"Cyborg, could you give us some light?" Raven asked. She heard him fumble around, and then the stairway was illuminated in a bright white from the flashlight that was built into his shoulder. She turned and asked if they were ready.
Starfire and Cyborg exchanged looks, and then nodded in Raven's direction, telling her silently that they were ready. They headed down the narrow stairs; the only sound was their heels and labored breathing.
Cyborg lost his footing on one of the stairs, and tumbled down, taking Star and Raven with him. The stopped at the bottom of the stairs, sprawled out.
"Cyborg," Raven growled, lifting herself up with her hands.
Laughing nervously, he rubbed the back of his head. "Uh, sorry 'bout the Rae."
Starfire grunted, standing up slowly and helping Raven up, leaving Cyborg alone to pick himself up. Unfortunately, he lost his footing again and fell again. The girls feel through the door, taking it off its hinges and sprawled out again.
"First day with new feet, Cyborg?" Raven asked sarcastically, shooting daggers at him with her violet eyes.
Starfire, who had landed on her stomach, pushed herself up and threw her long hair behind her back by snapping her head up. She looked around and wrinkled her nose at the nauseating smell.
She stood up, dusting herself off. "We need to find Robin and Beast Boy and soon." Starfire said, tracing the cut on her neck. It had stopped bleeding and was already starting to scab over.
Raven agreed, already walking forward. Cyborg groaned, following the girls. "We don't even know where to go." Cyborg looked around, the beam of the flashlight on his left shoulder following his every movement.
Starfire heard a thump and squealed. "What was that?" They heard it again.
"Dude, this is so not right. I don't even wanna know what that is." Cyborg said, pushing the girls behind him. What ever it was, he wouldn't let it hurt Star or Raven.
As if luck would have it, Cyborg's flashlight went out, probably from the tumble down the stairs and left them in total darkness.
Starfire whimpered. "I hate the dark. I wish Robin were here." Raven swallowed hard, unconsciously scooting closer to Cyborg. "I don't mind the dark, but I hate when things go bump in the night."
They stood still what seemed like an eternity, the noises getting closer and closer. It seemed like it was right in front of them when everything went quite. The only sound was their heavy breathing.
All of the sudden, a hot breeze filled the small chamber. Raven let out a sigh. "Good, it was just the wind."
Starfire gripped Raven's arm. "Raven, how could there by wind if there are no windows." Raven's eyes widened as did Star's and Cyborg's. And that's when they heard the growl.
"Cy-Cyborg?" Stuttered Starfire, her nails digging into Raven's flesh.
"Yeah?" Cyborg slowly backed up, taking the girls with him.
"Why do I have a feeling that this is no ordinary wind or animal?"
Raven butted in. "Because, Starfire, I have a bad feeling that it's not."
Cyborg fumbled with the light, trying to make it work, but when he finally did, he wished he had let them guess at what the creature was. When they got a good look at the animal, they screamed.
