Chapter nine: Haunted Hill

"Come on, Dick! You're wasting my time…" Kori shouted to Dick who was carrying all the heavy gifts.

"Try carrying this thing up the hill at your speed then!" Dick shouted back with a grunted. "What is in here anyway?"

"A metal mini statue of her…" Kori said simply. Dick eyes widened and sighed.

"You really like this lady…" he then heard a scream from Kori. "KORI!" he dropped the statue so he could run and gasped at what he saw.

"PUT ME DOWN!" Kori shouted. Kori saw Dick and screamed. "HELP ME!"

For Dick, Kori was floating on mid air. "Uhh…. Are you… flying?" he asked shaking. Kori screamed harder and Dick grabbed her. Dick took her hand and both began to run. Kori breathed hard not believing what just happened.

Dick was shocked. He never believed in haunted areas before, but this one, he was freaked. Just then, the ground they stepped on shook.

"Kori? What did you do to the old la….DY!" both began to fall.

"HELP!"


Victor Stone knocked on Barbara's door. "Hey, I got him…" Barbara nodded her head and a tall man walked into the room.

"Hey Xavier. How have you been?" Barbara greeted sadly. Xavier sensed this and hugged her.

"Sorry to here the news but…He'll be fine… Trust me!" Barbara laughed and hugged him back.

"With you here, I'll be fine…" Victor smiled and walked away. 'At least she's happy…'


Dick groaned and rubbed his head. He gasped and went to look for Kori. "Kori! Kori where are you!" He then felt worried. He couldn't see coz of the darkness, he didn't hear a response, and he doesn't know how to get out of here.

He walked around the dark tunnel until he saw something move. "Kori!" as he was about to walk towards her, she shouted.

"Don't come near me!" Dick was confused.

"Why not?" he asked seeing the shadow of a girl hugging herself.

"I uhh…Just need something…" she said scared. Dick looked at the shadow again and gasped.

"Kori, let me help you!" he shouted as rocks came crushing down behind him. 'Great' he thought.

"Please, don't!" but it was too late, Dick was there eyes wide. Kori's blouse was torn and she had cuts. "Please, leave!" she shouted turning around revealing her bare back. Apparently her bra was ripped too.

Being a gentleman, Dick took of his shirt and gave it to Kori. "here, you need it more than I do…" Kori looked at the shirt then at him, then at his muscular body. He looked absolutely gorgeous.

'Wo, back up gal. he's engaged!' Kori smiled and took his shirt. Dick turned around but peeked at her shadow. He smiled. He was glad she was changing in a place that has light. He couldn't help but look more.

Kori put on the shirt and looked at Dick. She blushed as she knew what he was doing. "Don't…" she said softly. Dick turned around and looked for injuries.

"Here, let me get you to someplace that's not crowded with rocks." He said and carried her to the dark area. Kori looked at his eyes that were the only thing she saw. She smiled and yawned. The darkness really made her tired.

Dick put her down and sat next to her. "You stay here while I figure out how to get out of here." When he was about to leave, Kori grabbed his hand and hugged him.

"Don't leave me! The old lady's back!" Dick sighed and sat next to her.

"So uhh… Does the lady always do that to you?" Kori shook her head and cuddled up to him.

"You need warmth… No, the lady only does that to people when someone wakes her at night…" Dick frowned and nodded.

"So someone came here last night. But who?" Dick looked at Kori happy that he can see her now through his eyes and smiled to himself.

"Sweet dreams, kori…"


"Babs! Jason's here…" Xavier said. Barbara gasped and walked out of the room.

Jason was a man who tries to steal the company away from Richard and now Richard's gone, everyone was afraid of his plans. 'I hope this isn't bad…'
