Dark was falling into a black abyss. He kept on falling for what seemed like an eternity. There was nothing around him, just the sound of laughter, maniacal laughter and darkness; he couldn't see two feet in front of his face.

He kept falling, and he thought that he was going to be like this forever, until he came into contact with something hard. It was ground, solid and cold. Something else was happening too, he was shaking. Convulsions ran throughout his entire body and he could not stop them. He finally had enough strength to open his eyes and see what was around him.

He opened them and saw the room he was in just before, hating the girl that was in their cell so very much. However, there was something very wrong here. Dark sat up and looked into the cell with awe and disbelief. There was no one there! Terra had escaped.

There was a large hole to the side of the cell, where many bricks and rubble lay. There was some smoke rising slowly towards the heavens from the pile of bricks that lay on the already dirty ground.

Dark just continued to look aimlessly into the empty cell as he lowered his head, "FUCK!" Dark yelled as he punched the wall behind him, creating one more hole in the detention center that used to hold the blonde haired girl.

"What happened?" Robin asked Dark as they all sat in the living room; all around the leader like a group of school children awaiting the story they were going to be read before their naptime. Except there was one person missing and was no where to be found, and that was Phoenix.

"I told you already, I told you a thousand times, I don't know what the hell happened. The last thing I remember is seeing that bitch laying there on the ground, still out cold from the beating I gave her before." Dark put his head in his hands and slowly rubbed his eyes, trying to see if he can remember anything else. "And then," he began, grabbing the attention of the others in the room once again. "And then I fell asleep, I don't know what got over me, I just felt really tired and couldn't resist falling asleep." He looked up at everyone now, looking into their eyes searching for some remorse, some forgiveness for what he had allowed to happen. "I'm sorry everyone, so very sorry for letting this happen."

"It is okay, Dark. We truly forgive you, it was not your fault." Starfire said with a little cheer in her voice, attempting to raise Dark's mood. She hated to see anyone like this, not just her teammates, but anyone at all, she was too kind hearted and happy to allow anyone to like Dark is now.

"Yea man," Beast Boy began. "It's ok, really it is. Shit happens, and all we have to do is get her again. It happened once, it can happen again."

"No, it doesn't. Shit doesn't happen to me, I never let it, and it never will happen. We have to find her, or if you all don't want to then I will find her myself." Dark said getting up from his spot on the couch. "But first thing is first, have any of you seen Phoenix since we came back? She isn't here and that is odd, because she is usually right here with me all the time."

The other glanced around, not even noticing that the fiery beauty had been missing the entire time.

"Uhh, you got me." Raven said.

"Same here." Frosty said as well.

The rest of the group nodded with them, acknowledging that a search was in order.

"Ok then, everyone fan out. We need to find her, make sure she is ok."

The rest of them just nodded their understanding and went on their ways, not knowing what was ahead of them.

"Phoenix! Phoenix, where are you? You must respond to tell me that you are ok!" Starfire called out into nothingness. Along side her, was Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans, and her one true love. "Oh Robin! Where do you believe she is? She is not responding and it is frightening me."

"I'm not sure Star, I just have no idea. We just have to keep looking to make sure that we hit everywhere. We will find her, I just know we will." Robin said reassuringly, although he had his doubts, the most extreme and horrible things and images kept popping into his mind and would not subside.

Dark was walking down one of the dimly lit hallways alone as he kept wondering where in the world Phoenix may have gone to.

'Didn't she hear the crash and all that stuff? She would have been he first one there to me, and she would have been the one there by my side the entire time.' Dark thought to himself as he continued along the hall alone. 'This really seems bad.'

He kept on walking for a little bit more, when all visible light had diminished. "Damn lights." He said out loud and felt on the wall for a switch, when instead he felt something wet.

He kept on feeling the wall, it was not just one area, it was all over the wall. It was really wt, and there was no light to tell what it was. 'What the fuck?' Dark thought to himself. He kept feeling the wall for the switch when he hit something jetting from the wall. He had found it and flipping the switch upwards.

The light was momentarily blinding, as he had to adjust to the light. Finally his eyes adjusted to the light, and immediately he had wished they hadn't. The liquid that was on the wall was not just water or something, it was blood, and it was everywhere, all along the walls and the floor, there couldn't have been more blood in someone's body than there was on the walls and the floor.

"Oh my god!" Dark screamed as he nearly fell backwards. "What the hell is all this?" He said to himself as he continued to walk down the bloodied path, attempting to find its source.

He had walked for at least five minutes in the blood drenched halls until finally he had reached a door where the blood had ended, and he knew all too well this area of the tower, he knew where the blood trail ended and where it was going. He got to the door and stood in front of it, almost like he was waiting for the door to open itself up. He looked up to the door and read the plate that was on it, it read "Dark Canuck".

He reached for the handle, his hand trembling massively as he did so. He grabbed the handle and twisted it slowly, the click from the door sounding in the empty halls like an early morning church bell.

He was quivering from head to toe as the door slowly opened and revealed the contents inside, which made Dark immediately bend over and vomit.

It was Phoenix, laying on the ground full of blood and lying motionless on the ground with a sign on her chest that read: "Surprise."
