?Two?

The staircase was long and dark.The railing had black engravings on the sides, and the walls had some sort of egyptian symbols.On the very top of the wall were unlit torches, that were held in gold cylinders.The walls looked like they had began to erode after a long period of time.As the staircase about came to an end, the egyptian writing ended and bloody handprints appeared.Some were big, some were small.There were all different......in size, fingerprints, and shape.The only coincidence they had between them was that they were in rows of sevens.Above them was engraved writing that said: 'The path of seven mortals will come every

hundred years and end in another, The

Fate has fallen upon you and there's no

escape...........For you can't escape if your

chosen...........'

"Well, that makes me feel a whole lot better......."Cyborg, said sarcasticly.

"But, it said seven....there's only five of us......"

"There must be others here....but, still, what exactly does this mean?"

"We're gonna die!We're gonna die!"

"Beast Boy!Get a grip!We're not going to-"As Raven looked straight ahead there were chains.In the cuffs were hands.......the hands being belonged to a body of rotted bones.Some decapitated, some without arms or legs.One , however, had a knife stuck straight through its chest.Cyborg, began to back away until he felt something behind him.

"AAAAAHHHH!"He screamed like a girl.A skeleton was hanging from a rope by its neck.

"Chill Cy!Its just a-"Then they began to static.

"Where the hell, is that?!"Over beside a skeleton was a small compact radio.Robin, picked it up and tried to turn it to a different frequency.But, still all that was heard was static.Then, they began to hear footsteps.That was getting closer and closer.The Titans prepared themselves.As they looked at the staircase the noise stopped.As it stopped the radio got louder.

"Friends I don't have a very good feeling about this....."Starfire's eyes narrowed as she saw someone coming down the stairs.Its eyes glowed purple.When the eyes stopped glowing the static stopped.As they felt it getting closer and closer they tensed.When the creature stepped into the light.......they relaxed.

"Sister?!"

"Yes, its me little sister."

"How did you?"

"I was asleep then, I woke up here."

"This just doesn't make any sense ,Blackfire."

"So, nothing makes sense in this giant 'T' that you call a home."

"So, there's six of us now.....there must be someone else here....Let's find them before something bad happens."

"Speak for yourself Wonder Boy!I'm not going back out there!"

"Oh, so you'd rather stay here?Alone?"

"Grrr.....fine!"Blackfire, followed them back up the stairs.

"Aaaahhhh!"

"Starfire?!"

"Robin!Something has my leg!"a paw thats skin was half torn and bleeding, had caught on to her boot.Then, a face popped up and locked its jaws around her ankle.

"Aah!"

"Starfire!"her leg was bleeding and the half-dead-dog's jaws kept squeezing harder into her skin every time they pulled her.Starfire, began crying out of fear.....fear of her death.....

"Move I'm outta here!"Blackfire, moved them out of the way so, she could get out of the chamber.She stopped when she came to the door.It was closed shut.She shot it with her eye beam and punched it.Still, it wouldn't budge.The others kept trying to pull Starfire out of the dogs mouth, while the dog kept tugging her at the other end.

"Friends........Let me go........."

"No, Starfire!"

"Its just causing me more pain, with every tug......trust me.......please friends....."Robin, let go and right afterwards regreted what he had just done.He couldn't forgive himself for doing it.When the dog slung her down the stairs all they could see was green volts of power, that brightly lit up the room.

"Starfire?"Robin, walked down the stairs to find a dead dog ,thats tongue was at least five feet in length, lying next to Starfire on the floor.Starfire's leg was practically torn apart.It was hanging by a couple of strings.

"Starfire!"Robin, ran up to her and held her in his arms.

"R......Robin I'm okay.......my leg is practically, this, gone......but I'm not dead...."Robin, wrapped her arm around his shoulder and dragged her up the stairs.As they came to the door Blackfire was still shooting at it.

"Blackfire, what are you doing?"

"The door is locked!Why else would I still be here?!"

"Titans get that door unlocked!"while the others tried busting down the door, Raven went back and picked up the static radio.The others were kicking and punching the door.

"Raven, help and open this!"

"Azarath, Metrion, zinthos!"she was pushing the door outward.They all were pushing.

".........zzzzz.....zzzz........zzzzzz....."

"Ummm.....Rae why is your radio buzzing?...."They knew what it was they were tring to be sarcastic in a way.

"He, he, he....."

"HELP!"they all screamed.They started pounding on the door.Raven, pushed as hard as she could....and it finally opened.They jumped out very quickly and shut it.Then, they placed the bed back over it.

"Whew........."

"That was close......."

"Well, I'm outty!"Blackfire, walked out the door.Then, she walked back in.Maybe I could stay with you just for now...."

"I knew that wasn't gonna last...."

"Ow!"

"I forgot!Starfire's leg is injured!"He laid her down on her bed and began examing it.

"Its hanging on just by a couple of muscles......"

"He's right she might be permantly damaged...."

"Then......"

"She can't go anywhere......"

"Which also means she's vulnerable to attacks."

"We can't leave her!No!"

"She might as well be dead Robin.....I'm sorry....."

"zzzzz.....zzzzzzzzz......ZZZZZZZZZZZ!"

"Not now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
