Chapter-11 The Mistress Revealed

Okay, just 2 let u all know b4 we start, all of the violent adventurous crap starts happening AFTER the very next chappie! K! Cause I know we've all been lookin' forward to that! LOL! Enjoy!...PS-I have now redeemed myself from the last really short chappie! LOL! .

Beast Boy couldn't believe it, he just couldn't believe it.

Steffauri, his long time girlfriend, and best friend, had now broken their strong bonds. And he knew that deep down, he'd have to face facts.

What's done is done, and there was no way to change it.

"How, how could this happen. I mean, yeah I'm happy Terra's back but, I think Steffauri took it the wrong way." BB thought to himself as he sat alone in his bedroom, looking over an old scrapbook he and Steffauri had made the year before.

It really took him back, to all the good times where the two of them thought that nothing bad would ever happen to them. That their relationship would last a lifetime, and that they'd both find true happiness.

But for the both of them-It was all just empty memories, now.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Robin and Hayley were having a talk about the dream he'd had the previous night, and how Robin had found out it was entirely true.

"So, your telling me that this mystery room you told me about in your dream, it really exists?" Hayley asked as she gave him a puzzled glare.

"I'm positive. The day after I had that dream, I walked down the hallway on the very top floor, and there it was, everything it had been in the dream, it was in there as well." Robin finished as Hayley nodded and continued to follow him to the old room.

In the elevator, Hayley gazed upward at the little dial that told them which floor they were on.

As of now, it read 'Floor #9'.

"Holy crap! How far up does this thing go?" Hayley asked as it finally came to a stop on Floor #13.

As the two stepped out, Hayley looked around, everything was dusty and old in that hallway, and the only bright thing was the long red and gold trimmed carpet/rug adorning the old wood floors.

"Wow, this place really is kinda creepy looking." Hayley commented as something, brushed past her.

She immediately whirled around, to see nothing.

It was just as her sister had described it after her first encounter with the dark shadow spirit.

Hayley quickly clung her arms around Robin's shoulders and looked back again, still, nothing.

Robin looked back at her quizzically.

"Uh, Hayley, what're you doing?" He asked as she slowly let go.

"Robin, there's something up here, I felt it!" She said in a cautious whisper as Robin gave her another puzzled glare before looking down the opposite side of the hall.

And there was still nothing.

"No there isn't. Look, do you see anything?" Robin asked as Hayley looked down in the direction in which he was pointing.

"Oh." Hayley sighed in relief as Robin led the them to the room from his dream.

But just as the boy wonder reached out to turn the knob of the door, another door on the opposite side of the hall, and about three doors down, opened, and then slammed shut.

Without a soul in sight.

The two immediately jumped back and faced the hall, by the window on the other side, the two saw a tall, shadowy figure, obviously female, pass by it.

Robin's eyes went wide as soon as he saw her silhouette by the window.

And he recognized her to be the Mistress from the old portrait that he'd been practically dying to identify.

"FREEZE!" Robin cried out as he ran fir the window, and tossed a birdarang right towards the shadow.

However, all it did was break a small hole in the window.

"WHAT?" He cried out angrily, as the ghost of little Nizaca Veh appeared before him, dressed in one of her mother's old dresses.

"I'm sorry robin. But I cannot allow you to harm my mother." Nizaca said with an angry look on her face, as she caught sight of Hayley.

"And who is she, NO ONE is ever to venture up to Level #13, and live to tell the tale!" Nizaca snapped as Robin gave her an angered glare.

"Oh my God. Th-this is exactly how he'd described everything! But, the little girl seemed nicer, from Robin's perspective anyway." Hayley thought to herself as she approached the two.

Now girl, I'm going to tell you right now, that everything I put into Robin's mind that night is true, but I really suggest you don't be so foolish as to go in there. After all, mother may get testy, and you'll wind up rotting under the floorboards as well." Nizaca warned as she herded them into the elevator.

"Remember Robin, and girl, stay clear, of Level #13!" Nizaca warned before disappearing into thin air, and leaving her mother's dress to lay limply on the ground.

"Uh, o-kay. I think we'd better go!" Hayley said as Robin took one last look at the dark hallway before deciding to leave with her.

But as soon as Robin got downstairs, little did he know, that the one he'd been wanting to meet, was already there.

"Ding!" The elevator's bell sounded as it took the two back down to the first level.

Cyborg was there to greet them, with a wide smile on his face.

"Cyborg? What're you-" Robin began as Cyborg raised his hand and began to speak.

"Look, you see that room over there?" He started as he pointed to the large sitting-room next to them.

"Uh, yeah, what about it?" Robin asked as Cy gazed in.

"That lady Ammoraye or something who's throwin' the party's in there. And she's way cool!" Cyborg finished as Robin's eyes widened.

He was infuriated, he'd expected to meet face to face with Mistress Ammoraye, but, not in such a simple non-actiony sort of way. (Again…MY word! LOL!)

"You're kidding, right?" The boy wonder replied as he and Hayley followed Cy into the sitting-room.

Mistress Ammoraye was sitting in a large towering chair with a red velvet upholstery. (Shocker! Is there ANYTHING in there that's NOT red?)

Gizmo was sitting on her lap, with her left arm wrapped around him. Jinx and Steffauri were checking out all of her old Pahoran garb, and the boys were looking at pretty much any photograph that involved one of her prettier, female kin.

Just then, Mistress Ammoraye looked to the door, and smiled as she set Gizmo back down on the floor.

"Ah Cyborg, are these two Hayley and Robin?" She asked kindly as she got up to face them.

"Yep. Well guys, Ammoraye said she wanted to talk to you, so I'll leave ya'll alone, okay?" Cyborg finished as he left the pair with the Goth-like woman.

Then, Robin came up closer to the Mistress, and whispered to her- "I know about Level #13."

Ammoraye's eyes then grew from kind to angry, and she opened a door to another room.

"I think we'd best carry on our little conversation into the next room, shall we?" Ammoraye asked as the three filed in, and Ammoraye closed the door behind them.

"Now, you were saying about Level #13? Yes. Well, I already knew that you knew of the whereabouts of Level #13. My daughter, that little dark spirit, already told me you were there. But my question is, why?" Ammoraye finished as she took a seat.

Robin then stood up to face her once more.

"Because. For some reason, I've been having all these crazy nightmares about another existing floor, and then, I just went to go see if it was true, and, there it was." Robin answered, trying hard to not let his anger get ahead of him.

"Hmm. Well, sounds reasonable enough to believe. However, there is a curse, placed upon this house on the day of my daughter's death." Ammoraye replied coolly.

"A-curse?" Hayley said, her tone full of disbelief.

"Yes, a curse. When my daughter died, the curse said that whoever enters this home in a group, only one or two, sometimes every person receives those dreams or signs. And now, it's happening, but, the last part of the curse, you'll have to figure it out on your own." Ammoraye finished as the two heroes before her rose.

"But, how the hell are we supposed to figure out the curse if we don't even know where to look?" Robin asked as Ammoraye led them to the door.

"Oh, believe me my dear, you'll find out soon enough." Ammoraye finished as she opened the door and let the two out.

"So, what do you think it means?" Hayley asked as Robin looked outside on of the windows, deep in thought.

He really didn't like Ammoraye's hints, and, what was going to happen?

As of now, Robin didn't even want to know.
