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.

Tom whimpered. He hated it here. The room, full with various things, makes him uncomfortable, and the fact that he's the only person that can see them didn't help. Why? Why can't the others see the beings? Tom sighed as Ned picked up an ivory mask, turning it over. "Whoa, this gotta be from Africa." Davy nodded as he tossed a shirt saying, I Heart NY, away and continued to rummage through things.
"Here's stuff from New York City!" He said, excited. Sam stared at the double-edged sword as she whistled.
"An' here's stuff for war. I think the person who owned those was a warrior or somethin' like that." Sam finished, peering at a book with strange writings on it. Jessi poked a small statue, commenting,
"I think it's from a land of peace, 'cause it seems to be protestin' war. I mean, look at the hands, it's breakin' a sword in two." When she finished, she picked up an ancient book with odd, slanted writings on it. Tom glanced around, watching the group sort through things from four radically different cultures, yet they all are here in It.
Tom jerked his head up when he heard the chattering began. The barking, meowing, hissing, squeaking all followed. Then every heavy objects hovered in midair, all moving up and down as the darkness and the light came, battling yet again for dominance. Tom gulped as he backed away with the others.
Tom didn't scream this time as he bolted in the direction of the next staircase, Sam and Jessi ahead of him, Davy and Ned behind him. The scared group didn't stop as they ran upstairs, and even as they ran, they could hear footsteps and something rustling behind them. The footsteps grew closer, and new footfall joined them. Ned gulped. Someone joined the first ones. Tom whimpered; all five are chasing them, and only he can see them.
Running down the long hallway, they passed doors marked with names. Cyborg. Beast Boy. Robin. Starfire. Raven. They ran on, not paying attention to the names. Finally, the footsteps faded. Skidding to a halt, the group doubled over, panting. Davy shakingly rose to his feet as he watched Ned and Tom struggle for breath while Sam and Jessi nervously stared at the unmarked door in front of them.
"There's somethin' wrong here." Jessi said, staring at the dark door. Sam nodded as she looked down the hallway; she gasped, drawing back into Jessi. Ned cried,
"W-What are they?" Tom stared, stark white.
"Are y'all sayin' y'all can see them too?" At his words, Davy looked at Tom before turning his attention back to them.
The teenage boy dressed in red, yellow, and green clothes walked towards them, dragging his leg, which was sticking out in an unnatural matter. His head, twisted to the side, turned to them and the eyes, hidden by a mask, stared at them. The clothes, torn and bloody, made no noise as he limped.
The girl's red hair blazed in the light as her gold skin shone, her green eyes staring at them. The torn and bloody purple top and miniskirt sagged as if weighted by something, probably blood. On her side, just below the armpit, several ribs stuck out, all cracked and bent, not to mention bloody. She raised her arm, the skin hanging to the bones, and a green ball of energy formed around the hand.
He straggled, his feet scuffling the floor. The left leg, half gone, sags under the immense weight every time he stepped upon it. The right arm, gone, was sparking with electricty as the left arm raised, bright blue glow forming. He stared at the group, his head half gone. The right eye, nose, mouth is still there, but the second eye is missing, and so is half of the brain. He walked on, leaving a trail of blood and oil.
He limped forward, his green skin a bright emerald, his green hair slightly darker. The black and purple clothes, torn and bloody, gave way on his chest, and the skin is gone, revealing his ribs, lungs, and his heart which keeps beating. The face lifted, revealing the skin around the nose, cheek, and mouth is gone, showing the eyeball, jaws and part of the cheekbones. Some muscles could be seen attached to the jaws, moving it up and down. He advanced towards them, his body melting and twisting into the body of a wolf.
She glided, her torn and bloody cloak dragging on the ground. Under the bird-shaped hood, two sapphire blue eyes stared at the frightened group, absouletly emotionless. The cloak rustled as she moved forward, leaving behind a line of blood. Out of her back, something black moved, almost as if it is tearing itself from the very flesh of the girl. The black aura, in the shape of a bird, spread its wings, ready to fight.
Davy twirled around, grabbing the doorknob with his hands, he threw himself at the door. It held. He groaned. Why was this door locked? Glancing at the beings, he kicked the door, but it held. Ned and Tom backed up, and acting like a battering ram, they both slammed into the door. Sam groaned, it still held.
The beings now are only fifteen feet away. Sam and Jessi threw themselves at the door, banging and kicking it, but still it held. Davy let loose a scream; it sounded as if he was ready to cry. They hurled themselves at the door, battering and kicking and pounding on it, trying to defeat the lock before the beings reach them. They're only ten feet away. The beings quickened their steps, but then Sam, with a war cry, threw herself headfirst at the door, shattering it into pieces.
The beings stopped, and when Jessi pulled Sam up, they turned and fled. Ned stared after them, asking,
"How come they ran away? An' how did ya broke the door?" Sam grinned dizzily as she chriped,
"Well, Jessi always said I had a steel head!" With this, Sam laughed goofily; Jessi smacked her upside the head. "Ow!" Whimpering, Sam clutched at her head. "That hurt!" Jessi rolled her eyes, but stopped when Tom paled.
"There… there's something in there…" At the smaller boy's words, the group all turned to peer into the dark room.
