Chapter 7: The Cursed King!
Karen pulled the sleek, black Mercedes into the parking lot of the Salun Montigo Museum. The Titans snuck, quietly out of the expensive car, giving each other anxious smiles.
"Are you ready?" Karen questioned, glancing at the jittery group.
"Yes, we are all prepared." Robin responded, as he checked his utility belt.Robin checked all accessible exits, windows, and unenclosed area's of the parking lot.
"Everything is clear."Robin nodded, as the group trudged towards the door. The entrance to the museum glared at them, and Beast Boy's worry continued to grow.
"Do you think Raven will be alright?" Beast Boy questioned, as he pursued Karen. The Museum was covered in beautiful, brightly colored paintings. Judging by the dirty carpets, this museum was a extremely popular place for tourists.
"She should be fine. I have experienced many cases of paranormal activity, and the victims usually turn out alright. Few have suffered brain damage, and extreme paranoia." Karen said, her voice growing deeper as they passed through the tunnels. The walls stared at them evilly, and the pictures seemed to obtain their own personalities.
"This place is quite bizarre." Starfire whispered, staring at the scowling pictures. Robin looked at the landscape with curiosity, but he did not appear to be afraid.
"We better hurry! I don't want Emily to hurt Raven's body!" Beast Boy chirped, his pace increasing severely. His eyes didn't remain on the pictures, but his gaze lingered on the carpeting. It was as if the flooring held some deep secret, and Beast Boy desperately wanted to discover it.
"We are nearing the junction point, so talk in moderation. We don't want to alert Emily of our presence." Karen whispered, turning left at a the hallway. Looking ahead, Beast Boy discovered the point of anticipation. Karen didn't need to tell him that they had reached the junction point, he could sense it. The air seemed to weigh down Beast Boy's shoulder, and he hunched nervously. He saw the king's room, and he knew that Emily was there. They reached the center of the junction point, and the air seemed to freeze over.
"This is our junction point." Karen whispered, wrapping her arms around herself.
"Dude! It's cold!" Beast Boy stated, wrapping his arms around himself.
"The temperature has decreased ten degrees! Having a large temperature change like that is extremely unusual!" Cyborg said softly, checking his scanners gruffly.
"Having aghost nearby, always causes severe changes in temperature. It's not uncommon to feel swayed by the sudden differentiation." Karen alleged, shushing the titans around her.
"Emily is close! Go to your assigned areas." Karen ordered, keeping her voice muffled. Nodding, Beast Boy altered himself into a fly. The green insect flew intensely under the doorway, and into the King's room. He was surprised to find the room empty, and he heard no noises coming from the other rooms. This wasn't a good sign. Exiting the room, he returned to Karen with a grim look on his face.
"She wasn't there." Beast Boy whispered, feeling his inside's liquefy. Shock smothered Karen's face, and she gave him a helpful smile.
"We'll fine her! The paranormal activity is flourishing!" Karen smiled, fiddling with the golden ring on her fingertips.
"The ghost was not at my location, either." Starfire said, trying to keep the smile on her face. Stillness remained in the air, and that made Beast Boy uneasy. Robin tiptoed out of his assigned destination, and he glanced at his teammates unhappily.
"She wasn't in thePrime Minister'sroom, either." Robin whispered, checking his utility belt once more. Beast boy's face fell many stories, and he looked he was going to have a breakdown.
"She's here! We just have to keep searching." Karen whispered, her voice shaking slightly. Karen had never fought a ghost this cunning, and she wasn't sure she could handle it.
"Let's check the King's Room! There is a evil aura surrounding it!" Karen said, pushing past the other Titans. Forcing the door open, she stared at the unfilled area. Nothing seemed out of place, and everything in the room was covered in a thick blanket of dust.
"That's odd! I can feel something here, but yet….." Karen whispered, her eyes scoping everything in the room. The remnants in the room, did not scream to Karen.
"Wait…. Guys! We've found a ghost, but there is only one problem!" Karen shouted, as the pressure mounted.
"What?" Robin cried, looking at Karen curiously. Robin felt himself begin to shiver, and he covered his arms.
"We've found the wrong ghost!" Karen whispered, as she turned around. The room began to shake, and everyone grasped onto the nearest sturdy object.
"What's happening?" Beast Boy hollered, the surrounding objects caused earsplitting jingle's as they shook. Valuable objects hit the floor, and the bed was jerked from its position.
"The ghost of King Regaled remains here! I think he's angry!" Karen cried, as the ground's shaking stopped abruptly.
"It stopped." Starfire whispered, as she sat on the floor dizzily. Robin helped Starfire off the floor, and she gave him a grateful smile.
"Why is he mad at us! Their have been plenty of people here before!" Beast Boy squeaked, trying not to throw up.
"He isn't mad at us, and I think Emily caused his frustration!" Karen squealed, as the bed began to come to life. the once intimate object quivered, and then it glided towards them stealthily.
"The bed came to life? I didn't know ghost's could possess stuff like that!" Beast Boy whispered, as the bed flapped its mattress. Using the mattress as its jaws, the creature snapped at the Titans repulsively.
"Hold it back, until I can free the spirit!" Karen cried, as the bed crept towards her. The blood red bed sheets flopped off the side of the bed, making the bed appear more frightening.
"Titans go!" Robin yelled, as he leapt into the air. He threw many freezing bombs at the creature, but it remained unfazed. Starfire threw many star bolts at the rampaging mattress, but the creature remained unscathed. Beast Boy's many transformation did nothing to affect the creature, and Cyborg's sonic cannon only made the monster angrier.
"Nothing is working!" Robin cried, attacking the fiend head-on. Karen gave them the I'm-better-than-thou-smile, before returning to her preparation.
"I'm ready!" Karen cried, as he placed her hands in front of her.
"Miloina, frataona, linx, folodonos!" Karen cried, forcing her hands forward. The bed gave a mighty shudder, before it fell silent. A greenish-light appeared in front of Beast Boy, and he stared at the ghost perplexed. At first his eyes glowed with anger, but the evil light faded from its eyes.
"Thank you!" The ghost said, happiness reflected on it's place. The ghost was a fat, jolly man, with a balding head. He wore odd clothes, and a very interesting top hat. The ghost continued to glow brightly, and Beast Boy could sense no threat.
"I'm deeply sorry! I have troubled you greatly!" King Regaled stuttered, the light seemed to glow in brightness.
"I don't have much, but you may take as my earthly possessions! It's the least I could do, considering you freed me from my bondage!" The ghost cried, as he eyed the group happily.
"That's alright! We don't need your possessions, but could you give us some information?" Beast Boy inquired, his eyes shinning!
"Of course! What do you wish to know?" The ghost questioned, as he chuckled happily.
"Have you seen a ghost called, Emily?" Beast Boy asked, his voice sounding desperate.
"Emily…." The ghost hissed, the ghost's eye's narrowed dangerously.
"Yes! I know her! I was enjoying the graces of after-life, when she pulled me away from paradise! I was forced to do her biding, until you have come to rescue to me! Her chamber is underneath the bed in thePrime Minister'sroom, but you can't get in there!" King regaled stated, his voice sounded extremely excited.
"Why? We could get into the room a few minutes ago!" Beast Boy squeaked, as he looked at the floor sadly.
"The door is set to automatically lock, after you defeat me! No one will be able to get past the spell that was cast on the door, but there is one way to unlock it!" King Regaled twittered, as he continued to blind them with his glow.
"How?" Beast Boy questioned, wanting to see his lover again.
"I can open the door, but I'm afraid of Emily! She will curse me again." The ghost squeaked, his voice showered unhappiness.
"We just saved your, sorry butt! You have to help us!" Beast Boy cried, his voice squeaked unhappily. The room was in complete turmoil, but Beast Boy ignored it.
"I know…. I have a deal." The king began, the ghost's happy nature disappeared completely.
"What is it?" Beast Boy inquired, as he ignored the other Titans.
"My daughter…. Princess Persephone…. She was also possessed by Emily! If you save her from Emily's wrath, then I will help you!" King Regaled said, as his light returned to normal.
"Alright!" Beast Boy cried, as he tried to shake hands with the ghost. King Regaled's hand went through his own, making it impossible to shake hands.
"I'll wait here! Come, and get me when you rescue my daughter!" King Regaled said, his voice never faltering.
