Good-Bye to the World
By CrazyDeafGirl
Summary: Nobody dared to go near It, and nobody wants to. Something lurks within It, and the giant tower that formerly was the Titans' Tower will not tell…
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans, but I do own Tom, Ned, Davy, Sam, Jessi, and Raley.

"Aw, come on. Are ya scared?" The seventeen-year old boy taunted the thirteen-year old boy. The younger boy frowned before sticking out his tongue.
"No, are ya?" The boy's frown grew when the older boy laughed.
"Hah! Yeah, right. Hey, guys, didya see that? Witty-bitty-bitsy little Tommy's scared!" At this, the older boy and his three friends laughed. Tommy's eyes narrowed before snapping,
"Ha-ha. What's the matter, Davy? Chicken?" At this, Davy stopped laughing and grew quiet. Frowning, Davy said,
"Watch it. Ya gonna get yer someday." Tommy snorted. One of the three bystanders spoke up,
"Uh, Davy, Tom? Well, Sam an' Jessi an' I'm wonderin', do we hadda go to… It?" The boy with flaming red hair and blue eyes asked, looking fearful. The twins nodded uneasily, their brown hair tumbling across their shoulders. Davy rolled his eyes before saying,
"Aw, come on, y'all. Scared? It won't hurt y'all; we're only goin' to the island where It's at, and touch It. It won't hurt us unless we go in, an' we're not doin' that." The redhead boy and twins glanced at each other before Tom piped up,
"Ned? If yer scared, ya don't hadda go. Sam an' Jessi can stay too, 'cause they're girls, an' everybody knows girls get scared easily." When Tom said those words, the twins and CrazyDeafGirl (in sign language) yelled,
"Hey!"
Blinking, the group watched as CrazyDeafGirl chuckled nervously before leaving, merrily waving good-bye. Sam turned her head and snapped at Tom,
"Scared easily? Who screams every time he sees a spider, whether it's big or not?" After Sam spoke, Jessi added,
"An' who refuse, no matter what, to eat the veggies before tossin' some salt over his left shoulder?" At this, Tom frowned while Davy and Ned laughed. "We're goin', an' it's to show you guys that girls' tough too." Jessi finished, high-fiving with Sam. The boys frowned slightly before Davy turned to Ned.
"Well, ya comin'?" At this, Ned sighed before nodding. Davy's green eyes shone with excitement as he leapt into the air. "Yes! Let's go!" At this, Davy, Ned, and the twins ran down the street, leaving Tom alone in the dark park. Pushing his glasses up his nose, Tom glanced at the moon, his light green eyes reflecting the light.
Sighing, Tom ran his fingers through his blond hair as he began running, following Davy's pale yellow hair. When Tom caught up, he glanced into the twins' brown eyes, and it's all he needed.
They're doomed.

Ned gulped. They're nearing the island, and… It. The shadow of It loomed over them, beckoning them to it. Glancing around, Ned watched as Davy and Tom quarreled. When did he meet the brothers? In second grade, he remembered. He had met Davy, who was the same age as he, and later met Tom who was in kindergarten. Sam and Jessi later joined their group in sixth grade; they're the first and only and last identical twins Ned've ever seen. It took him three years to get used to them, and he still can't tell them apart…
Jessi nudged Sam. "Hey, is it just me, or does It looks like a…" She trailed off, not believing her eyes. Sam finished for her.
"A big T?" The sisters looked at each other as the shadow of the T-shaped tower grew, swallowing them up.

Davy was beside himself. They're going to touch It! It, who had been the source of fear for the people living nearby many years, and they're going to touch It! When the boat finally hit the sandy shore, Davy leapt out of the boat, running as soon as he touched the ground. Tom didn't hesitate before chasing his older brother. Sam and Jessi hopped out and sprinted towards It. Ned looked up at It before gulping. Carefully, he climbed out of the motorboat and began jogging.
Panting, Davy allowed the twins overtake him. Grudgingly, he wished they hadn't been in the track team for the past three years. Coming to a stop, Davy gained his wind back as Tom and Ned arrived, panting heavily. Sam and Jessi managed to smother their grins as they watched the boys complaining of pains. Elbowing Jessi, Sam said,
"Haven't ya noticed how the girls' always better at runnin' than the boys?" Jessi giggled as she nodded. Tom frowned whereas Davy just grinned, saying,
"Well, let's touch It!" With his words, the group huddled together, hands outstretched. Walking slowly and carefully, they rested their hands against the cold steel. Bending his neck, Ned looked up at It. The giant T-shaped tower loomed over them, dark and forbidden.
They barely had time to turn when the island trembled. Jessi stumbled, falling through It's doorways. Sam screamed and before the boys could stop her, leapt in after Jessi. Davy hollered,
"No!" Gripping Tom and Ned, Davy pulled them back. The boys glanced at each other. Ned moaned,
"We gotta go after them. They're our friends." At Ned's words, Tom and Davy glanced at each other, nodding.
"Let's go!" At Davy's command, the boys ran inside.

Here's the first chappie! I wrote this about a week or two before Halloween and decided that it's worth to write in a short story, so here you are!
