Chapter 5: The Creeping Fear
That same morning, as Jason stood over the corpses of the teens he had just slain, the Titans were just getting out of bed. Beast Boy, having had the dream just hours early, shivered as he made his way to the kitchen. Raven was the next to come in, looking at B.B.'s expression, and wondering just what would have him so scared. Robin came next, a similar expression of fear on his face. The others followed in the same fashion, afraid of what might be lurking in the shadows around them.
"What's wrong with everyone," Raven asked, "You act like you've seen a ghost."
"A ghost would be nothing compared to what this could have done to me!" B.B. turned and exclaimed, revealing his tattered shirt.
Robin and the others gasped and jumped back in surprise.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Cyborg said, "Hold up. Beast Boy, did this guy happen to have a burned face?"
"And a red and green sweater?" Robin added.
"And a brown glove with knives on it?" Starfire also said.
"Whoa, how did you guys know that?" B.B. said really creeped out by their words.
"What are you guys talking about," Raven asked almost clueless.
"This guy, he was in our dreams. He matched the description we all gave, and was really scary. You didn't see him?" Robin questioned her.
"I didn't sleep last night. I meditated, like I usually do on certain nights. Strange, though, since if it was something that could do that to you guys, I should have felt something. But I was undisturbed all night. Unless, like a ghost, it isn't something living, but even so, I would have felt something that could have the power to do that," Raven finished, her thesis stated.
"Raven has a point, and yet, I am still confused," Starfire said, and scratched her head, "I must admit, that dream was even scarier than a Horfengot Blrgkreel."
"A Hofren what?" B.B. asked, quite interested in such a thing as what Star was talking about.
"Nevermind that," Robin said, "We need to find out what that was, but for now, lets make some breakfast, settle down, take some showers, and then decide what we are going to do."
"Good idea," Cyborg replied to him, and ran to the kitchen to start a very large breakfast.
