Titans on Vacation
Chapter 3- Waiting for darkness to come.
Early the next morning the Titans all got up and were greeted by the Baker family. They gave the heroes a big breakfast and then left to do chores. When the Titans were sure that they were alone they began to discuss the plan for tonight.
The Titans decided to enjoy their vacation during the day and then they would investigate the house at night. After they finished their meal Terra and Beast Boy excused themselves and made their way for the front door.
"Where are you two going?" asked Cyborg arching an eyebrow.
Beast Boy just smiled and said, "Terra and I are going to enjoy the autumn landscape and explore a bit."
"Just make sure you're back by six 'o'clock tonight o.k.?" said Robin. Beast Boy and Terra acknowledged him and closed the door behind them.
Robin and Starfire announced that they would be window shopping and walking around the park. Raven decided to look around some spell and witchcraft stores, and Cyborg was going to take a bus to Gettysburg to see a Civil War reenactment.
As the day dragged on Robin and Starfire were just about finished with shopping and thought that they should go back to the mansion first before walking to the park. Robin had bought an old Civil War rifle, some musket balls, and a three cornered hat. Starfire bought two large bags of perfume, some make-up, a quite little plush turkey, and she also walked proudly with a beautiful antique jeweled necklace that Robin got for her. She lightly kissed his cheek and thanked him for the gift.
When they entered the house the couple saw Raven at the dining table looking over some old papers and documents.
"Friend Raven why are you here all alone in the dark of this creepy old house which is filled with the ghosts of people past?" asked Starfire in such an interesting way that even Raven stopped to look at her.
"I found some blueprints and some books on the history of Baker's Manor."
"That's Blood Manor." Starfire corrected her.
"Whatever, anyway I've discovered that much more has happened here than the Bakers have told us."
"What kind of things?" asked Robin.
"Well, murders, suicides, accidental deaths, disappearances, it seems as though this house is prone to death and violence. Like this, about 150 years ago two teenagers named Clarence and Angel were secretly engaged and hoped that Angel's father, William Baker wouldn't find out, but Angel's older brother ratted her out and William had his daughter executed inside the house. They tried to get Clarence as well, but he was found in the attic hung by a hook on the ceiling.
"That's terrible, why weren't they allowed to be married?" asked Starfire.
"Clarence was too poor for Williams Baker's standards and said that he was not fit to marry his daughter, even if they loved each other." Raven answered.
Starfire was horrified by this and thought what would happen if her family wouldn't allow her to be with Robin she would just die, literally.
Soon six 'o' clock came and Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Terra returned. With all the Titans back they formulated a plan. They knew that the Bakers all slept outside of the mansion now for fear that they might be dead the next morning which meant good news for the Titans because they would have no interruptions or innocent people in harms way. The Titans were the only "living" things in the mansion tonight and they all hoped that nothing would happen.
Using the blueprints that Raven got that Titans split the mansion up into eight sections. Robin and Starfire would investigate sections two and three, Beast Boy and Terra would take care of sections four and five, while Raven and Cyborg worked on six and seven. Section one was the home base, the dining room and main hallway to the front door, if there were any problems the Titans would come back here. Section eight was the largest of all the sections and included the entire third floor; the Titans would investigate this section together.
"I think before we go out to our respective sections we should hold a séance to see if we can contact any spirits that way and if we can communicate with them." said Raven with a small smile.
The others weren't as enthusiastic as Raven was, but decided to give it a try. Besides it wasn't like they were going to contact anything anyway. Would they?
