I just finished watching this really creepy/confusing movie and now I feel all weird. The person who guesses what the movie was gets a prize.

Carmen ran as fast as she could, running from the robots that were closing in quickly. It was difficult to sprint with the duffle bag on her back. It made her off balance and turning sharply was next to impossible. She turned sharply to the right and the momentum from the bag made her stumble, subtracting any length of gain she might have gotten. Remembering what her track coach had told her prevented Carmen from looking back. Looking back slowed you down. She had to get out of the open if she stood any chase of escape. Carmen realized something and took a sharp right again. She slipped and fell completely. Noticing her approaching foe, she scrambled to her feet and ran for the park. It was only a paved road surrounded with tall leafy trees. The perfect place to hide from just about anything…and she knew the whole place by heart. Carmen ran across the narrow path and into the thick foliage. She hid behind a large tree and peered around the edge as slowly as possible. Holding her breath, she waited for her adversaries to come into view. She watched as five robots appeared on the path. Jinx ran onto the path shortly after. Carmen listened carefully, not even daring to make a sound.
"Gr, she sure loves to play hide-and-seek. That's ok. So do I," Jinx gestured to the robots to fan out. Carmen inched away slowly on the balls of her feet, using her fingertips for balance. About fifty feet from where she was hiding before, was a giant tree pushed over enough for the roots to come out, making a type of cave under the tree roots. She crawled in as quietly as she could and set her bags down. Carmen took out the middle sized sword from her brother's set and readied her slingshot. She crawled over to the entrance to the cave and peered out slowly. She watched the shadows for any movement and listened for any sounds. To her left she heard Jinx mumbling to herself about mosquitoes. Carmen took her shoes off and crawled out of her safety. Kneeling behind a tree, Carmen took aim at Jinx's legs. A better idea popped into her head. She looked around and found a small rock. Carmen whipped the rock across the pathway. It rustled the leaves and alerted Jinx. Her back to Carmen she was very vulnerable. Carmen took aim once again and fired. Jinx crumbled down to the ground in pain when the metal pellet hit her in the back of the neck. Carmen moved quickly and quietly back to the cave and retrieved her bags. Slipping her shoes back on and her bags over her shoulders, Carmen unsheathed the short sword and ran down the pathway towards the tower.

Back at the tower, Beast boy paced nervously. Carmen had disappeared! He looked everywhere for her. Now, Cyborg was going to kill him because he didn't do his job. He saw the Titans coming back from the windows. Beast boy began to panic. He ran in the kitchen to hide. He noticed the small piece of paper by the sink and the color drained from his face.
"Hey there Beast boy," Robin waved looking around. He was expecting to see Carmen near by as well, but she wasn't there. Beast boy waved nervously. Cyborg entered after Robin, and BB let out a panicked cry.
"Is Carmen still sleeping or something? She should've been up by now," Cyborg noticed Beast boy's nervousness. "What did you do?" BB handed him the piece of paper and dove under the table. Cyborg grabbed his foot before he could get too far. "What'd you do?! Just let her waltz out all by herself?!"
"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't know she left! Honest!" Beast boy flailed his arms as Cyborg held him upside down.
"Cyborg put Beast boy down. When did Carmen leave the tower?" Robin asked standing between the two of them. Beast boy rubbed his head after begin dropped.
"I don't know. I went to check up on her an hour ago, because sleeping through the day is bad for you. When I opened the door she wasn't there. I searched the tower top to bottom and I just found that," He pointed to the note in Cyborg's hand. (AN: Yeah Lord Beca, sleeping through the day is bad for you.)
"What's going on?" Raven asked confused.
"Carmen left the tower and we don't know where she is," Robin informed. Starfire clasped her hands over her mouth.
"We must go and look for her,"
"Right, we'll fan out over the city and-"
"No," Robin was interrupted by Cyborg who looked out the window. "I know where she went, and she knows someone's after her so she'll have her guard up. Carmen can fight well enough to defend herself if she's not taken by surprise. I have a feeling that she'll be Ok,"

Carmen stopped at the docks. Panting, she looked around for her pursuers. When they didn't show themselves she sat on a bench to catch her breath. She rubbed her aching leg and wiped the sweat from her brow.
"What do they want with me?" she asked out loud.
"I want to see what powers you posses," Slade emerged from the shadows. Carmen stood up quickly and back away from him. She scanned the area with her eyes for a way to escape, but Slade was backing her towards the end of the dock. Carmen brought her sword up in defense. She didn't know how to use it well, but Slade didn't have to know that. "Now, now Carmen. I just want to talk to you."
"Right, like last time?" she shifted her hands to get a better grip on the hilt. "I'm not defenseless you know,"
"I'm well aware of that. What were you doing in that old house?" Slade asked, though he already knew the answer.
"None of your business!" Carmen countered. What did he care? He was planning something. Slade's robot minions appeared all around her! Carmen's eyes shifted from one robot to another.
"Don't you want to know what happened to your family Carmen? Don't you want to know why they abandoned their home with out bothering to look for you?"
"W-what do you mean?"
"I know a lot about you Carmen. I know more than you think. How your father would abuse you, the way you'd hide from him at your friend's house, and so much more. I know more about you than even you do. You forced yourself to be an understanding person so you could rid yourself of the daily pain you felt, and still feel," Slade's eyes narrowed as he smiled behind his mask. Carmen let her sword fall to the ground. "Well, do you want to know?" Slade asked.
"Y-yes," Carmen whispered as her vision began to blur.
"Then come with me. I'll tell you all you want to know," Slade outstretched his hand.
"I do want to know," Carmen looked up at Slade with angry eyes. "but not from you!" a small portal opened beneath her feet and she fell into the index. The portal re-opened itself three feet above the tower beach. Carmen fell face first in the sand. She spit the sand out of her mouth and looked around confused. She looked behind her and saw the tower. Brushing the sand off of her clothes and out of her bangs, she headed for the entrance. She rode the elevator in silence. "Why didn't Victor tell me about my family? I'm sure he knew so why didn't he say anything?" The doors swooshed open and Carmen stood before an angry looking Cyborg.
"Where have you been!? And how'd you get so dirty?" he scolded. Carmen was dirty. Her pants were grass-stained and she had dirt on her face and shoes.
"I left a note. I wasn't planning on being gone this long," Cyborg held her note up to her face.
"'Going to get stuff. Be back later' is not specific enough you know,"
"I'm sorry," Carmen looked down at the floor. Cyborg looked at her face. Her eyes seemed angry or sad; the smile she wore was a fake one. A front she put on to hide her true feelings about something.
"What's wrong?" He asked. She couldn't hide her emotions from him. She shook her head.
"Nothing. I'm fine," Carmen walked towards the door.
"Where're you going?"
"I need to put this stuff away," she didn't even look back at him. The other Titan's switched confused or worried glances. Cyborg jogged after her.
"Is she mad at me?" he wondered. He knocked on the door before opening it. Carmen was sitting cross-legged on her mattress sorting her clothes, her back to the door. "Yo, you mad at me or somethin'? What's the matter?"
"Do I have a reason to be mad at you?" she didn't take her eyes off her work. Cyborg looked at her concerned. "Nothing's the matter,"
"She is mad at me," he walked over and sat beside her on the floor. She didn't even look his way. "Come on, don't be like that. Why are you mad?" Carmen furrowed her brows.
"I'm not mad!" she yelled.

This isn't really the best place to stop. But I need to get this chapter up before Lord Beca leaves for Ohio. R&R
