Chapter 4

Bounty leaned on the cabinet that was nearby looking at the chemicals and other things. The lab smelled really bad and she wanted to get out here. Bounty couldn't stay in one place for to long and her dream was to go to Bahamas. Now her employer was delaying her from getting her money. She growled angrily whoever this person was he or she was late when she heard the door open.

"Ah Miss Bounty you are still here," said a voice.

She turned to see a dark-haired man brown eyed guy enter with one of those lab coats that she seen doctors wear. He wasn't bad looking either through he did have five o'clock shadow or whatever they were called.

"So are you this mysterious employer who won't pay me?" asked Bounty giving him smile.

"No, my name is Riley, I'm Doctor Kager's assistant," said Riley. "Dr. Kager should be here soon he wishes to talk to you about what you saw."

"Yeah that weird old trick that girl performed," said Bounty then she touched dark bruised marks on her neck.

"It seems that it got you good," said Riley.

"You mean she right?" asked Bounty.

"No, it is not she," said a grumpy voice.

Bounty looked as small man hunched over with goggles over his face. He wore tattered lab coat and green gloves on his hands. His grayish, white hair which was bald in the middle of his head. Bounty nearly gagged as she saw this ugly old man come in.

"What do you mean?" asked Bounty. "It certainly looked like a she."

"Ah but you only saw the host of the Rekinamas," said Dr. Kager smiling his toothy grin.

Bounty moved away from the man for some strange reason. She had seen a lot of people in her work but he was freaky.

"The Reka what's a?" asked Bounty.

"It's powerful enity that lives in certain alien species such as the one you in encountered earlier," said Dr. Kager.

"In our language Rekinamas means The Fury," said Riley.

"That makes a little more sense," said Bounty just pretending that she knew what they were saying she was just here for money.

"So do I get paid yet?" asked Bounty. "I did you little chore."

"Not quite yet we need you draw Rekinamas even out more," said Dr. Kager.

"How?" asked Bounty questionly.

"All in good time little girl. All in good time.

A few days later everything was pretty normal for the Teen Titans except for Starfire. She had recently hadn't came out of her room and wouldn't allow anyone to see her. She claimed that she was sick and she didn't sound too good yet. Robin had attempted to talk to her again but failed every time to even get so much as sentence. Raven had been the last one to talk to her that was few days ago. Both of them were worried about Starfire they knew she wasn't acting right. Right now Starfire's pet worm Silkie was outside her door wanting to get in.

"Star," said Robin as he knocked on the door.

"Please I do not well the feel," said a mumbled voice.

"Silike is trying get in," said Robin.

The door opened slightly and pale Starfire snatched up the worm. He put his foot in the door from letting her shut it.

"Starfire what's wrong?" asked Robin.

"I have told you," said Starfire and he noticed she did look sick.

"Okay get some rest and I'll be by later to check on you."

She smiled for the first time in days and then said, "This time I shall let you I have had Tamaramania illness that is why I could not let you in my room."

"Oh," said Robin not knowing what to say exactly.

"Good-bye Robin," said Starfire.

"Good-bye Starfire," said Robin.

Starfire heard Robin's footsteps leaving and she let a sigh. Lying to Robin wasn't one of her favorite things to do. He wouldn't understand what was going on especially when she didn't know what exactly was going on herself. I must do this alone thought Starfire and continued searching through book that she had on her bed.

Starfire was okay and he wasn't as worried as much as he was before. He was still worried but she said she was getting better. Then why couldn't he feeling that she might be lying to him. His thoughts were interputted by girlish scream from main room and he started running.

"Ahh!" screamed Beast boy as he flew across the room.

Raven glared at him and Cyborg was laughing as watched the green boy fly. Beast boy to his luck fell to the couch. Raven left the room and Robin entered looking ready to fight.

"Report what's wrong!" ordered Robin.

"Nothing just classic Beast boy ticking off Raven. Man BB you don't know when to stop," said Cyborg still laughing.

"Hey I wasn't doing anything wrong," defended Beast boy.

"Sure," said Cyborg as he laughed at Beast boy.

"Yo! Robin we got the new Hero Challenge game," said Cyborg. "You know you want to play it."

Beast boy ran over and was waving the game in the face. "Or you just afraid that we'll kick your butt."

"You are on," said Robin leaping over couch to grab controller.

Raven was passing Starfire's room and she heard muffled voices coming from her rooms. She knew wasn't right but she slowly produced dark portal and saw Starfire standing there. She looked very pale and nervous as she fidgeted.

"Impossible," replied Galfore from the video screen.

"I know but I worry if this happening-," started Starfire.

"You should come home, Princess," said Galfore.

"I have told before Galfore. That Earth is my home," said Starfire with slight smile.

"The Rekinamas is dangerous you have heard what happened before," said Galfore. "It was story I told you as child.

"Yes I remember my great-grandfather was infected with the Rekinamas and it took whole army down to stop him. He would have destroyed Tamaran if he had not been stopped," said Starfire.

Just then the screen black and then came back on Galfore. He apologized and then told Starfire that he must leave her there was something a matter.

"I do not have Rekinamas," said Starfire trying to convince herself.

"Starfire," said Raven.

Starfire turned to see Raven standing there. She didn't look mad but looked at Raven surprised.

"What Rekinamas?" asked Raven.

"A most ancient of curses on our planet," said Starfire.

Dr. Kager looked down at a scroll on desk where Bounty was staring at. Riley touched the scroll with gloves and Dr. Kager's winkled old face smiled. Bounty just wanted to get out of there as quick as she could and shuddered as she looked at him.

"The playing field needs to be matched," said Dr. Kager. "The scroll tells the story of ancient curse called Rekinamas. Only it's not a curse it's power an enity born to destroy. The curse born in ancient battle when the King killed his first born son in rage. Only in his rage he couldn't stop the once kind King was gone. Replaced was cold, heartless and soulless warrior bent on destruction. He had symptoms of change had started earlier it was only when his son had died did the enity become stronger," said Dr. Kager. It only comes from Taramarian race."

"So?" asked Bounty.

"They have been only two other cases and this young woman is experiencing it. If I can harness this energy then I can rule," said Dr. Kager. "Now remember what have told you."

"Of course," said Bounty with smile.

"Good," said Riley. "Well except to hear from you soon."

Starfire looked at Raven then down at her hands.

"It is fairy tale Raven," said Starfire. "It does not exist truly."

"Starfire I heard what you said. You are lying," said Raven.

"No!" yelled Starfire her eyes glowed green.

Starfire clenched her head and screamed. Raven touched her shoulder and Starfire turned breathing hard it was very quick.

"Are you okay?" asked Raven.

"Yes I'm better," replied Starfire.

"I'm going to talk to Robin," said Raven.

"No please do not," pleaded Starfire.

"Fine I won't tell him. Not yet," said Raven.

They left Starfire's room and Raven went to her room not sure what to think. Starfire left to get some food since she was hungry. She grabbed a bottle of mustard and joined the boys in the main room. Cyborg and Beast boy had finally agreed on something to watch tv. Starfire was enjoying the show they were watching through she didn't understand some the humor. Starfire was enjoying watching the show and her friends. Cyborg and Beast boy were laughing so hard after this one joke. Suddenly she felt short of breath as she heard the two boys laughed again. Beast boy was first to notice Starfire leaning over.

"No," whispered Starfire. "Not again."

"Star! You alright?"

"Yes I am fine."

She flew out of the room quickly leaving the two boys puzzled. Starfire entered her room and stood in front of her door. Then she felt the pulsing through her veins and started breathing hard. She fell to the floor but then opened her eyes. Her eyes glowed greener then before and she sensed something nearby.

"Star? Are you okay?" asked Cyborg who was outside her door.

"I do not know," said Starfire as single tear fell down her face and her eyes returned to their normal color.

"So what do want to talk about?"

Raven looked at Robin who standing near the table where Raven was seated. She had told him it was urgent and he must have rushed from his research room plus she had mentioned Starfire.

"Do remember that night Starfire was screaming in her sleep?"

"Yeah," replied Robin wondering why this had to with Starfire's apparent change in behavior.

"There was power that blew me away it wasn't Starfire. I sensed another presence there something a lot darker."

Robin looked worried.

"I can now can see Starfire's dream and see that presence come out more. I don't know how to explain it. There is also something else that Starfire made me promise not to tell you. "

"Why?"

"She's afraid she doesn't know herself. The presence I'm not sure what to think it.

"Star is in some kind of danger."

"She could be but we don't know much about it. I went in there earlier and she was talking to Galfore. I think she knows more then she's letting on."

"We'll watch her if anything happens then we will deal with it."

Robin was getting ready to leave when Raven slumped over suddenly. He raced over to her and he heard the two boys race in. Beast boy raced over and to Raven while Robin had Cyborg check her over.

"She's alright just sleeping."

The familiar dream played out and this time the shadow had red hair. She smirked at Raven and lifted her hand. She blasted Raven back and Raven fell to the ground. The shadow left its usual spot and walked over Raven. Raven felt dark aura of this shadow before the thing could attack she sent shield. Slowly the shadow crept back from where it came.

"Easy now," said Cyborg.

The boys were surrounding her as she began to wake.

"Raven are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Where's Starfire? I thought I saw in her main room awhile ago," said Robin concerned.

"She went to her room a little ago. She's probably asleep she didn't look good," said Cyborg.

"Robin?"

"It was the dream," said Raven looking at Robin.

"Are you sure?" asked Robin to be certain.

Raven nodded and Robin started walking away heading towards wherever he was going. Beast boy and Cyborg stood there confused with Raven. The sun started setting on another day for Titans. Soon it would another day to deal with the world but for tonight everything would be as was.
