Hello. I didn't forget. I was just busy with school and another story. I am sorry it took so long to update, but now I have to people can stop worrying. (I am not sure you did in the first place.) I would like to thank people for reviewing. THANK YOU!!! (Hugs and kisses for everyone. I am really happy today. Hehehehe.)

I would like to tell where my Jack the Pumpkin king came from. Every time I typed the word pumpkin I always added a g so it turned out to be pumpking. Thus the name. I like it. And it was better than what I originally planned with was something like Jack Slaughter.

Anyway, here we go.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

The group of young super heroes formed a circle with each facing a different direction. Best Boy saw something move, but he wasn't sure what it was. When he turned to look directly at it, the thing disappeared.

"Guys, I thing I saw something over there." He walked a bit away from the others, trying to get a better look. He thought he saw a light bobbing through the hall.

"I do see something. Guys, this way." Pause. "Guys? Is anybody there?" Beast Boy turned around but didn't see anyone else in the room.

"Hel-loooooo. Is anybody there?" There was no answer.

"Okay, nothing like being alone in a big, dark tower, when scary things are happening. IF SOMEBODY IS JOKING, IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!"

Something cold and clammy brushed up against his arm, but when he turned towards it, nothing was there. Beast Boy started walking towards the door, and when he thought he felt a cold wind just behind him, he sped up. However, when Beast Boy reached out and touched the handle, it fell off into his hand.

He stared at it a moment, like he couldn't understand that the knob had just fell into his hand. He felt a hand touch his shoulder then, and it sent a set of chills wracking his body. He turned around and saw the shimmery outline of something. It was coming slowly closer. When it was close enough for Beast Boy to see, he found that he didn't want to see it.

"I don't believe in ghosts, I don't believe in ghosts." He kept repeating this mantra as he stared into the face of the floating specter. It wasn't pure white or milky. It still had some semblance of color, enough to let Beast Boy know that the liquid leaking down the ghost's leg was blood, and that the mush showing from its stomach was its guts.

He turned his back to it just as he saw another one showed up. This one had half of its head missing, showing its brains.

"HELP!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!" Beast Boy was banging on the door, hearing the moans of the ghosts behind him.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Hey, anybody see where B.B. went?" Cyborg didn't notice when the shape-shifter left, but he thought he heard Beast Boy say he saw something, but after that he disappeared.

"He left? Why would he split up from the group at a time like this? What was he thinking?" Everybody turned to look for Beast Boy after Robin's questions.

"Robin, I do not think it was Beast Boy's intention to leave us. I believe it was out of his control." Starfire's comment was not a comforting one.

Cyborg used his sensors but couldn't find anything. However, he had a felling that Beast Boy wasn't really far.

"Help."

"Hold up a sec guys. Did ya'll hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"I don't know. It sounded kinda far away." His head was turning in all directions, his ears straining, trying to find the source of the cry.

"I don't hear anything Cyborg. Come on guys, hopefully we'll find Beast Boy before whatever else is in the tower does."

Robin, Raven and Starfire walked out of the common room and into the hall, but Cyborg stayed behind. He was still sensing something, and it was something his electronic sensors wouldn't read.

"Beast Boy, is that you? Can you hear me little buddy?"

The sound of electronics behind him caught his attention. When he turned, he couldn't find anything, or anyone. He walked into the hall, but no one was there either. So Cyborg continued walking down the hallway. As he walked, the beeping noise kept getting louder and louder.

He passed by rooms with the doors opened. Inside was medical equipment. He didn't see anybody inside the rooms; come to think of it, the Tower didn't even have these rooms. But they did look familiar.

He went into one of them. It was quiet and sterile in this one; no machines beeped. Cyborg caught sight of himself in a mirror and stopped dead in his tracks. He was human, completely and totally human. There were no metal, no robotic parts, just flesh.

He reached up and touched the side of his face, feeling skin there when for years there was none. Behind him he saw someone moving. And that is when he recognized this was one of his father's medical rooms. He turned and looked because the figure was unclear in the mirror.

"Victor." The voice was high and quiet. It came closer and Cyborg gasped and took an involuntary step back.

"Aren't you happy to see your mother?"

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Okay, Raven was frightened; she could and would freely admit that, at least to herself. First Beast Boy went missing and now Cyborg decided to disappear.

"Stay close. I don't know how that thing managed to get Beast Boy and Cyborg, but we have to be on our guard. Keep your eyes peeled."

Raven supposed it was a sign of just how distraught Starfire was that she didn't ask for clarification. Wait, now that Raven thought of it, the green light was missing too. Where was Starfire?"

"Robin, where is Starfire?"

Robin stopped dead in his tracks and looked around him. Starfire was at his left side, or so he thought. How could she have disappeared without him noticing?

"Starfire!" Robin was starting to get worried. At least when Raven lost control of her powers, he knew nothing would hurt them. But this was different. He wasn't sure if Starfire was safe, or Cyborg and Beast Boy either.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Starfire was standing next to Robin one minute, then when she turned to face something she thought she saw out of the corner of her eye, he wasn't there after she turned back.

"I do not like this. No one told me of this Halloween custom."

She started walking around, trying to find Robin and the others. She walked down the hallway, which seemed longer than normal. When she finally reached the end, it didn't lead to the elevator, as it should have. Instead it led to a room, a brightly lit room full of laughter and talking. Starfire smiled and sped up. Inside, she found her friends, and she also found a visitor.

"Why, hello sister dear."

"Blackfire?"

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Raven followed closely to Robin. She really didn't want to end up alone in this place. It was reminiscent of every bad horror movie she'd seen. The bad guys splits up all the unsuspecting teenagers before they are killed in horrible and painful ways.

"What could be doing this, and why?" It was actually a rhetorical question, however, she was still with Robin. Right now, she was glad she wasn't alone.

"If we figure that out, we will find the others."

They continued to walk, going from floor to floor, but not finding anyone. Just for kicks, and to say they really didn't leave any stone unturned, they checked the roof. Of course they didn't find any of the others, but really the had to try.

"Where could they have gone? I know they didn't leave the tower, I could still sense their presence, just not exactly where. It is almost like they were on an different plane, but in the same place."

"Okay, bad flashbacks to when Larry was here. Let's not go there. Alright?"

Suddenly and out of nowhere, a beam flew at Raven, knocking her back and unconscious. Robin called out her name and ran to her, but she disappeared before his very eyes. She was never really with him.

"Who did that? Show yourself!" Robin stood up and looked all about the rooftop.

From the shadows a figure emerged. It was lithe and appeared to be about Robin's height. He slowly walked forward, but stopped before he reached the light.

"Who are you?" Robin demanded, but the figure didn't answer. However, a second and most definitely feminine figure emerged from the shadows and joined the first. She walked over and stood next to him. They were facing Robin and no one moved.

"Who are you?" Robin asked again, frustrated with not getting an answer. The female figure stepped forward into the light. Robin gasped and she laughed. Though there were small changed, he still knew that laugh, he knew that hair, that face, that figure.

"Starfire?"

"Close, but no. She was called that once, but now it's Ebonfire." It was the other one who answered, and Robin recognized that voice too. It was his, and his suspicions were confirmed when the figure stepped from the shadows and stood next to Ebonfire. His hair was a little longer than Robin's and the features were a little more sharp and angular, but otherwise, Robin felt he was looking into a mirror.

"And I am Deathwing."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Raven had lost Robin right after she noticed Starfire was missing. What a great way to spend Halloween, being attacked by inanimate objects, then being picked off one by one. She was more annoyed than she was scared. What was the whole point? What purpose did this serve?

"Raven." A disembodied voice echoed throughout the basement, which is where Raven decided to go. It seemed logical at the time, but now, with disembodied voices, not such a good idea.

"Who's there?" Raven turned around in a circle, trying to peer into the dark. She was usually at home in the dark, but right now, she really wouldn't mind some of Starfire's light.

"Raven." This voice was different than the first, and familiar.

"What do you want?" Raven heard footsteps coming from all around.

The footsteps came closer, and the sound of something falling consistently. Suddenly an eerie green glow shined through the darkness. It was refreshing to finally be able to see clearly, that was until Raven got a glimpse of what was in the dark.

Beast Boy was standing there, his skin decaying and sloughing off. Parts of his internal organs were showing through, and they weren't in much better condition. Cyborg was next to him, not looking much better. What flesh he had was gone, his muscle showing though; pus flowing from open sores, blood slowly seeping from open wounds.

Robin was there too. His face was still intact, if a little worse for wear, his uniform was ripped and in tatters. He had a gaping hole in his stomach though. Raven could see right through him. And Starfire. She was still beautiful, even though her throat was slit. Her eyes were still the same purest green ever, and that is where the eerie green glow was coming from.

She stood close to Robin who put his arm around her. Everyone was glaring at Raven, pure hatred showing from his or her eyes. She didn't understand what was going on.

"What happened to you guys?"

"You did. You went crazy, you killed us."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Okay everyone, that is it for right now. Can you guess what everyone's darkest fear is? Hopefully I made it clear without really giving anything away.

This chapter served the purpose of separating everyone and introducing their fears. Hopefully they will be able to over come their fears, because the consequences could be dire if they are over come by their nightmares.

Thank you and Please Review.
