I don't own Teen Titans or The Ring.

Chapter Nine: Not Samara AGAIN…

"AHHHHHHHH! SAMARA!" the two craziest Titans shrieked again.

Samara was out of the TV and was making her way toward a man sitting in a chair (who Shadow and Nightmare knew to be named Noah), immobilized by his own fear and horror….

However, at the sound of their screaming, Samara stopped and looked at them.

"Excuse me?" she said in an annoyed voice. "Would it kill you to be quiet for a few minutes?"

They shook their heads, terrified of the small girl with the hair.

"Wait…" she said, suspicion in her voice. "What are you two doing here? I kill people when they're alone, not when there are two random people in the room! You're ruining this!"

She started to walk toward them, leaving bloody footprints behind her, probably fully intending to bring an end to everyone's favorite (well, not really…) Titans.

Shadow and Nightmare cowered against the wall.

Suddenly, Nightmare's expression went from terrified to relieved. She whispered in a loud and hopeful voice to Shadow, "Hey, even Samara can't kill the Immortals, right!"

"…no," answered Shadow in a low voice.

Samara stopped right in front of them.

Suddenly, Nightmare seemed to grab the opportunity by the collar and held on.

"C-could we have your autograph?" she said.

Samara seemed to be taken aback by this for a moment, but then she said, "O…kay?"

They were in the middle of getting her autograph (albeit the fact that it was a rather wet one…) when the man in the chair, feeling rather ignored, said, "Excuse me? Can we get on with this?"

"Oh, yeah." Samara turned to him, and started staggering toward him.

No one heard the screaming….

Starfire was still worried, despite the fact that the boys had determined that there was nothing that they could do for the two stuck in the basement.

She walked down the stairwell and pressed her ear against the wall that was closest to the basement.

Upon hearing nothing, she returned upstairs, convinced that everything was fine…

How very wrong she was.

Beast Boy hadn't wasted time screaming this time; he immediately turned into a dolphin and dived after Raven deep into the swirling waters…

He reached her, and somehow managed to pull her to the surface; she regained consciousness almost as soon as they broke the surface.

As she gasped for breath, he was immensely relieved.

The relieved feeling was short-lived.

'Cause the water was now only a few inches from the top.
