Chapter 3
Robin scrambled off the bed and ran towards Cyborg, gripping his leg in a death grip.
Cyborg looked down at his petrified leader, never before had he seen Robin look so scared, 'What could have cause Robin to be so scared?' Cyborg thought.
Robin stayed up the rest of the night and many nights after that, trying to make some sort of sense of what he saw. He paced around the lounge one night, three weeks since then, racking his brain for any logical explanation of what he had seen, pondering heavily on the idea that he had been dreaming.
After that night, Robin had seen many weird things. While he was in his bedroom the curtains just became inflamed and burned. When Robin had taken a bath, cockroaches had come out of the tap instead of water.
The lights in the living room flickered, Robin looked up frowning. The flickering stopped, and Robin continued his pacing. He took three steps when the lights just burst and he was enshrouded in darkness.
Robin looked a bit panicked, and then he pushed that emotion aside and began thinking logically, 'Probably just a spike in the power'. Robin then made his way along the walls to find the switch for the other light, running his hands along the hard surface; his fingers came into contact with something wet.
Robin frowned but his hand kept searching for the light switch. His whole gloveless hand came into contact with the watery substance. When he found it, Robin flicked the switch and the room was immediately lightened up. Robin looked down at his hand, to find it enshrouded in thick crimson liquid, blood.
Robin looked up at the wall and the blood was flowing freely from the light switch. His eyes widened, and Robin looked around the room. Blood was flowing from every light switch, air vent and the tap.
The lights flickered and once again the light bulb burst, and Robin was encompassed in the eerie darkness of the night. Robin's body felt cold. Then Robin felt his body sinking into the floor, he laid his hands on the wall to try and free his feet, then his hands began sinking into the wall.
Robin struggled to free himself, but his efforts were in vain. He then yelled out, "TITANS HELP!"
The sinking became more rapid and when the titans burst in, Robin was waist deep into the floor of the living room, his hands were free though. The living room was illuminated green by Star's glowing hand.
"Robin!" Starfire called out. All the titans gathered around him and studied the situation. The sinking had subsided, but now Robin was stuck in the living room floor.
"What the hell?" Cyborg began.
"Dude, what the heck happened?" BB asked
"Robin, where are your legs?" Starfire asked.
"I don't know, I don't know, just get me out of here" he called out desperately. Cyborg analyzed the situation, and then left the room. When he returned a little while later he said, "Your legs are stuck in the floor"
"Wow, what gave that away" Robin retorted getting impatient.
"How are we to release Robin and do minimal damage to our home without the means of help from our dark friend?" Starfire asked.
"I don't know Star, I'll guess we'll just have to cut him out" Cyborg said, he then lifted up his left arm and it transformed into a saw.
Cyborg then began cutting a circle around Robin. When the circle was formed, Starfire gripped Robin's hands and pulled him up, releasing him from the floor. Robin stood on the ground, with a piece of the floor, still wrapped around his waist like a tutu. Starfire looked at her hands, "What is this unusual substance?" she asked.
The room was then flooded with light, as BB had replaced the blown bulbs. Starfire then shrieked, "My hand is covered in blood, and so is Robin's!" she screamed out. Robin then looked down at his hands, and as Starfire had pointed out, the blood was there. Robin then looked at the light switches, and there was dried blood on there.
"Dude, what the heck happened?" BB asked.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me" Robin said before he went to the tap and washed his hand.
Dawn then began creeping in, and the titans all made themselves comfortable in front of the TV, after they had cleaned up all the blood.
Robin was too scared to go to sleep even though he was dog tired, or stay by himself, and Cyborg knew that whatever Robin saw petrified him to the core, even if he acted as if it didn't.
Later that morning when the other titans were cooking, Cyborg went to charge up his battery and told BB and Star not to let Robin out of their sight. The titans agreed, highly freaked out by their leader's sudden withdrawal into silence. Robin just sat at the semi circle couch, staring into space, oblivious to everything around him.
Robin sat cross legged down on the couch, and then his legs started tingling with pins and needles, Robin put both his feet on the ground, and then the pins and needles began creeping up his leg.
Robin the looked down and some sort of black vines were coming from the ground and gripping onto his legs. Robin tried to rise, but the vines had come from the couch and twirled around his torso, arms and chest, and began pulling into the couch.
It felt as though he was being suffocated by a python and sucked into the couch. Robin tried to yell out, but when he opened his mouth some of the black vines crept into his mouth and began traveling down his throat, it felt like some of Starfire's alien food. Robin was choking, suffocating and being crushed.
When BB jumped over the couch, the vines disappeared, and Robin gasped for air, before he vomited. BB quickly called the other titans and a blue Robin was shipped off to the infirmary.
So the boy wonder is seeing some freaky stuff. Well I'm new at writing this kind of stuff so just bare with me. Comments, advice and ideas are welcome. Flames…well if you want to flame then go right ahead.
