Chapter Seven: Things get vicious

This chapter; there's pranks but they're of…people getting tortured. You'll see…
I'm sorry for not writing lately…I needed some space. My head is not clear about everything in my life and I feel like I'm losing the motive to write…like this little voice in my head keeps telling me I'm wasting my time because I won't succeed in being an author when older……
Somewhere
He smirked as he walked to his room. It had taken a lot of time to drag his victim to his prank. Oh well! It was going to be worth it!
Elsewhere
After putting up the final touch, he went back to his own room.
Somewhere elsewhere
He laughed mentally; imagining the face of his victim. He ran back to his bed; he wanted morning to come quickly and the fastest way was if he slept.
In another place
Smirking, he longed to kiss his magnificently evil creation. Then the prank would be on him, so he resisted.
Later
Robin rose, yawning. He looked around cautiously. He was well aware that Speedy could be after him. Of course, Robin had set out a prank for Speedy. He also knew that some time, Speedy would try to get payback for his earlier prank.
He treaded carefully; watching his feet, making sure he didn't touch any rope or wire that would set off a prank.
Carefully exiting the room, he tiptoed down the hallway. Walking into the main room, he sighed in relief and walked towards the couch. He thought that Speedy wouldn't set up a prank here because Starfire caught him the last morning. She had also caught Robin and Cyborg and Beast Boy, of course, but that didn't matter. The point was that no one would set up their prank in this room. Except, maybe, himself…
He spotted a freezer as tall as him.
'I don't remember that being there. Maybe Cyborg had it installed so he could keep more meat.'
Robin shrugged it off and jumped on the couch. Just then, his stomach growled.
'I'll go see what Cyborg has stored in there…'
He opened the freezer door.
'That's strange. Nothing's in there…Not even shelves to hold food…'
Robin heard a string snap.
"Oh Crap!" Robin panicked.
An iron boot was catapulted out of nowhere and it kicked Robin into the freezer. Another string went off, and the door to the freezer shut and locked itself.
Robin banged on the door. The temperature was cold; so cold his shoes started to become ice…
Somewhere else
Speedy woke up and blinked at the bright sunshine. He hopped out of bed. He figured it was safe because Robin didn't need to give any payback. Unless he wanted him out of the competition quickly.
Speedy decided that he should, indeed, be cautious. Sneaking through the corridor, he entered the main room. He saw that his prank had been a success.
Chuckling, he spotted something in the kitchen. Walking into the kitchen, his eyes were laid upon a long table full of food. A banquet. There were all his favourites; burritos, chicken, spaghetti, junk food…everything!
Drooling, Speedy slapped himself.
'This must be a trap' he thought. Then, he spotted a note.
Speedy,
We are friends again! I have realised that this stuffed animal does, indeed, show that you are manly and I like that. I have cooked a banquet for you.
Starfire.
Had Speedy known that Starfire writes just like she talks and had he known that Starfire cannot cook earth food that tastes…good…he would not have started shoving food into his face.
Speedy stopped eating for a second; he felt as if he was being levitated, he shrugged it off and reached for some burritos when he realised the table was below him.
Speedy looked up and saw that a claw had hold of his shirt. Before he could do anything, the claw let go; dropping him on the table.
Speedy stared at the claw, curiously.
"What's going on?" Speedy whispered.
He felt as if he was moving again. He looked down at the table. Speedy looked in shock as he saw that the table had transformed into some type of pulley ((Those things that you put your luggage on in the airport)).
He tried to get up, but to no success. He realised he was on a huge plate and his hands were cuffed onto it.
The claw from earlier took out a blunt knife and started spreading Butter on him. It soon started to drop salad and then it squeezed Baste on top. Finally, the claw shoved an apple in his mouth.
Speedy looked around wildly and saw what was at the end of the pulley.
An oven.
The dish he was on entered the huge oven and the claw shut the lid.
Speedy tried to scream, but because of the apple, he couldn't.
Elsewhere
Aqualad yawned, awakening from his deep sleep.
"Wow! Ever since this prank competition started, I haven't had such a pleasant sleep. If I didn't know better, I'd think I've been drugged." Aqualad chuckled to himself, and then stopped.
He looked around the room he was in.
This was definantly NOT his bedroom…
He was in a big room. The windows had frilly yellow curtains. Aqualad was in a medium sized bed that had a floral pattern on its cover.
Next to the bed was a large bed with a checkered pattern on its cover and on the other side was a small bed with a colourful cover.
Aqualad stood up and saw a staircase going down. He walked down it and saw two chairs.
'Why don't I sit in one of those chairs? They look very comfortable and I'm sure sitting in a comfy chair will help me figure out where I am…this place IS oddly familiar…' Aqualad thought.
There was a huge red chair, a medium sized, fluffy pink chair and on the ground were the parts of a small white chair.
He sat in the huge chair but felt himself slipping backwards. It was way too big! So he clambered out and sat on the medium sized chair, which felt very comfortable. Aqualad liked this chair, even though it was pink.
'Well… let's see…there's a broken small chair…things are in threes…hmmm…HEY! What's that over there? Looks like porridge! Yum! I am hungry and it is breakfast so…why don't I dig in?' Aqualad ran over to a table which had three bowls on it.
There was a small one, a medium sized one, and a big one.
The small one was empty and, naturally having a large appetite, tasted the big one right away. There was already porridge on the spoon for him to have a taste tester.
"OW!" Aqualad ran to a nearby sink and drank tap water.
It was too hot…
He tried the medium sized one. It was cold, but to him, it was great. Reminded him of the sea…except it was porridge; not salt water…
Aqualad grinned to himself.
'This must be a dream…a very specific, odd, dream…all I need is Raven…I think I'll go back to this dream's bed, maybe then; I'll wake up and THEN I can see my sweet Raven again…' Aqualad thought.
He walked back upstairs and was about to jump in the floral bed when he noticed there was a person in the small bed. She had golden hair. He pulled off the covers and discovered it was a doll…
Aqualad's face contorted in pain as he realised; this was a prank…the theme being goldilocks and the three bears. That meant…the bears would be there soon…
But then again, maybe they'd just be robots or dolls like goldilocks?
He gulped as he heard some one stomping up the stairs. Aqualad sweated as he came face to face with three large bears that were very real and very alive.
"Hi?" he gulped and ran down the stairs, past the bears, as they roared.
He opened the front door with ease and saw a large forest surrounding him.
Aqualad ran for his life and the bears followed in hot pursuit.
He jumped on a tree and started climbing to the top, they wouldn't be able to get him there…
Somewhere else
Beast Boy moaned as he rubbed his head. He sleepily stretched. His hand touched something squishy.
He fully opened his eyes and saw his surroundings.
His room had stuffed animal heads and other body parts lying around the room.
Roast beef, Roast chicken, hamburgers, Roast lamb, grilled fish…all sorts of meat were hanging from the ceiling.
The squishy thing he had touched was a slab of Pork. Beast Boy started hyperventilating.
"Calm…down…don't concentrate…on…the…dead…animals…"
He swung himself into a sitting position, ready to run for the door and escape this horrid room, when there was a thud on the floor on the other side of his bed.
Beast Boy clambered over his bed and peeked at the floor.
A little lamb that had had its head chopped off fell on the floor and was bleeding all over it.
Beast Boy screamed. He ran right through the door…and snagged some tripwire.
He tripped and all of a sudden; a hole seemed to appear underneath him.
Beast Boy fell in, still screaming.
He had a painful landing and found himself on some sort of pulley.
Beast Boy felt something going on his head. He looked up and he saw a mechanical hand squeezing glue on his head. Unfortunately; because he looked up at it, the machine squeezed glue in his eyes.
"AH! MY EYES! THEY BURN LIKE THE FIRES OF HELL!"
He felt something drop on his head. It felt…itchy and hairy.
He felt something on his shoulder and looked. A strand of blonde hair was on his shoulder.
"Please tell me I don't have a blonde wig stuck to my he-agh"
Beast Boy couldn't finish his sentence as the mechanical hand pulled something over his head and he disappeared through a tube.
