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.

Davy grinned as they stepped upon the room, his petty argument with Ned long forgotten. Sam glanced at Ned, and had to suppress a giggle at his face; "It looks like his head's on fire!" She whispered to Jessi, who stared at his pale face and red hair. "He looks like Ron Weasley! Ya know, Harry Potter? The one where-" Sam was cut off when Jessi smacked her in the head. "Ow!"
"Shut up, will ya?" Jessi snapped, glaring at her twin. The boys ignored the twins' colorful language that followed as they glanced across the room.
"Whoa…" In the simple word, Ned had summed up how they felt at the moment. There were cages everywhere, all different sizes. Whereas normally the cages would be like prisons, those cages has objects inside, like squeaky toys in some, furry toy mice and rats in others, bell chimes in still others, and even mazes. Ned commented,
"They gotta be for holdin' animals! An' they have toys too!" All three boys walked on, ignoring the twins who are at each other's throat- or, more specifically, Jessi holding Sam in a headlock. Tom grinned as he peered at the squeaky mouse in a cage large for an old fat cat to roam around freely. As Tom glanced at the fighting girls- Sam sitting on Jessi's head and attempting to pull her leg off, much like the wrestlers in Looney Tunes cartoons- he let loose a terrible shriek.
Jessi leapt to her feet abruptly, causing Sam to crash into the ground. Tom screamed, "Sam! Jessi! He… he's behind y'all! Run! RUN!" With this, Tom ran forward and seized the twins by their arms and began running backwards, dragging the stunned girls. "Run!" He was crying, so Sam and Jessi decided to play along. Sprinting off, they dragged Tom and tackled Ned and Davy, rolling to a stop near the next case of stairs, Tom still weeping.
Jumping to his feet, Davy cried out, "Who's there?" When Ned and the twins struggled to their feet, taking a fighting stance. Tom relaxed, sighing.
"It's… it's okay. He's gone." At his words, the group glanced at each other before Davy said,
"Do I hadda say it again? Yer seein' things an' scarin' Ned." Tom only glanced at his older brother, still shaking. Davy sighed. "Fine, tell us about it." The smaller boy nodded before saying,
"Like the others before him, his clothes' torn an' old an' bloody… the skin on his face's half gone an' ya can see the muscles an' bones… an' skin's missin' from his chest, the ribs' broken, an' the heart's beatin' on an' on an' on-" Tom was cut off when Sam snapped,
"Stop!" Glancing at Ned, Sam pulled Tom up and began walking upstairs, the others following. When they climbed out of sight, chaos filled the room. Smoky white creatures roamed around in their cages, some barking, some growling, some hissing, some squeaking and some yowling when he stepped out, dragging his right foot, softly saying,
Friends… hang in there.
