13 Dead End Drive

13 Dead End Drive was the only house on the street. It was the only house around for miles. It was perched atop a steep hill and was surrounded by tall gates. No one came in, and no one came out. Ancient legend of course. Haunted. What else is one to expect after hearing an intro like that? Long ago, on a dark and stormy night, there was a terrible accident. Well this story is no different. But is the legend merely a legend? Or is the house of 13 Dead End Drive more than meets the eye?

"You have got to be kidding me!" Beast Boy had fled and hid behind the couch.

"Come on BB," Cyborg picked him up and sat him back down on the couch. He turned back to Robin, "So where are we going?"

"13 Dead End Drive," Robin answered.

Beast Boy squealed once again, "Robin, we can't go there. Not shouldn't. We CAN'T!"

Starfire cocked her head to the side, "I fail to see where the terror in those words is."

"13 Dead End Drive is haunted," came Raven's dark monotone.

"See?" Beast Boy jumped up, "Even Raven says it's haunted. If Raven says it is, then it is. Who better to know than her, right?"

"Beast Boy, please," Robin shook his head, "We're going to the house. It's like we can just ignore a distress signal!"

"Can't we please just this once?"

"So this house of which you speak," Starfire asked, still confused on the matter, "It is…haunted? Haunted as in ghosts, and witches, and smelly green monsters?"

Robin sighed, "The house is not haunted! We leave in five." He turned to leave.

"Robin!" Beast Boy ran after him and attached himself to his ankle, "Robin! It is dark and it is raining. This is just a recipe for a horror story. Can't we just wait 'til morning?"

Robin shook the changeling off, "Five minutes." He left the room.

"Cyborg!" Beast Boy attached himself to the droid, "Cyborg you gotta believe me!"

"Sorry BB," Cyborg shrugged, "Captain's orders…" He left as well.

"Star!" cried Beast Boy, "Back me up, here!"

"I apologize, Beast Boy," Starfire hung her head, "But I am not familiar enough with this 'haunted'. Perhaps it will not be as bad as you think." She left the room.

Beast Boy slumped down on the couch, "Why does no one believe me?" he shouted.

"I believe you," came the soft monotone.

Beast Boy looked up and saw Raven uneasy, "Are you OK, Rae?"

"13 Dead End Drive is not a good place to go intruding," she shuddered, "But a distress signal is a distress signal."

"So you think it's haunted too?"

"Think?" Raven snuffed, "I know."

Beast Boy jumped up and threw his arms in the air, "Then why are we even going?" He watched as Raven started walking out of the room, "Rae, talk to Robin. He'll listen to you. He can't tell you that you've been reading too many comics, or watching too many horror movies."

"We have a duty to perform," she didn't watch as she walked out, "We don't have a choice."

The team approached the large gate, "Oh well. Gate's locked." Beast Boy spun around and began walking away, "Guess we can go home."

Cyborg grabbed him by the collar, "Nothing I can't handle." He changed his arm into his sonic cannon, and sent a blast at the door. The smoke cleared, and yet there was no dent in the fence at all, "Huh?" he sent another blast. Nothing.

"I told you!" said Beast Boy, "Haunted!"

"Beast Boy, please," Robin turned to face them, his back to the gate, "This house is not haunted!"

"Uh…Robin?"

"I'm telling you, there's no such thing as haunted houses."

"Robin?"

"And there isn't—"

"Robin!" Raven finally called.

"What?"

"Look," Raven said softly.

Robin turned and saw the gate wide open, "Someone must know we're here…" he said in deep though.

"Yeah!" cried Beast Boy, "Like a ghost!"

"I was thinking more along the lines of whichever villain is in that house and caused that distress signal." Robin nodded and began walking, the other Titans following.

"You know," said Beast Boy, "Aside from the dead trees, rotting smell, and eerie atmosphere, it's actually a very nice house." He paused, "NOT!"

"Come on," Robin started up the steep flight of steps that led to the front door, "We need to hurry and find out where that distress signal came from."

"Of all the bright ideas you've had, Robin," Beast Boy looked around, paranoid, "Hurrying was definitely the best." The walked up the stairs and reached the top, and looked at the decaying wooden door that served as the entrance to the mansion. Robin reached for the large chain that acted as a doorbell, "You're kidding right?" Beast Boy shook his head, "You're ringing the doorbell? Who could possibly be home? This place has been deserted for ever!"

"It's worth a try Beast—" Robin pulled on the chain, and a bell rang throughout the house. A split second later, the ground beneath Robin gave way.

"Robin!" cried Starfire, flying down after him.

"What do we do?" Beast Boy cried.

"What can we do?" asked Cyborg, looking down at the ground. Beast Boy and Raven did the same.

"What the—" Beast Boy cocked his head to the side. The ground where Robin had fallen, and Starfire had flown down was now solid.

"You guys saw them fall, right?" Cyborg knelt down and tapped the ground, "But the ground is solid."

"I told you," Beast Boy put his hands on his hips, "Haunted."

"We should leave," said Raven.

"Without Robin and Star?" asked Cyborg, "No way." He shook his head, "We gotta find Robin and Starfire, and also that distress signal. But first we gotta go inside."

Beast Boy shuddered, "Do we have to?"

Cyborg grabbed the back collar of Beast Boy's shirt, kicked open the door, and threw the green boy inside.

"Can we get some light, Cy?" came Beast Boy from within the darkness.

Cyborg turned on his flashlight, and he and Raven walked in. They all looked around. The house was much larger than it looked. There was a large grand staircase, and hallways leading every which way.

"How are we supposed to find them?" Beast Boy wailed, "There's like a million different ways to go, and we—Hey, Cyborg, what happened to the light?" He was now in total darkness, "Cyborg?"
