Chapter 4

Caught

In the hallway all the girls tiptoed down it in fear, they've never been here before. Sasha stopped and looked back at everyone. "Are you guys even sure you know where it came from?"

They all ignored her and continued walking. Sasha sighed, getting no answer from her friends. The sound went off again and again. Jade wrinkled her eyebrows and continued walking, "If this is a joke, I'm not laughing... I mean it could be sound effects... from a tape recorder..."

The scream went off again and Yasmin looked at Jade. "She is right...but, these people seem so familiar... I don't know if we should trust them..."

They all ran over to the door, where the screams came from. But, all it lead them to was a door that had a door plate. Jade read, "Raven." She looked at it. "Hm... I wonder if the sound could've came from her..?"

Cloe looked at a button by the door. "Um... do you think since there's no doorknob you press this, to open the door?"

Sasha stared at the button. "Well there's a 50/50 chance..."

Sasha pressed the button and the door slid open. They stood there, confused and shocked at the high quality technology. Cloe peered into the room, "Wow, and I thought this was all a dream...is it all a dream?"

Sasha walked inside, "Well, there's one way to find out."

As they walked in, they all looked at the creepy decorations. Cloe looked at the creepy masks, that stood upon a stand, next to a books shelf full of scrolls and books. "Talk about creepy... I thought Halloween passed already?"

"Hey, whats this?" Yasmin looked at a large globe that sat below a shelf and started spinning it. Sasha walked over, to get a closer look. "I thought the earth was blue with green continents. Not a dusty sepia-tone with gray continents."

Yasmin left the globe and looked around some more, leaving it to spin and spin... Jade walked over to a dark vanity and looked at the broken mirror. "Check out the broken mirror..."

Sasha and Cloe looked at a bed, with beautiful walls of purple fire going vertical-ways surrounding it. Sasha touched the architecture, "Wow, is this a king sized bed or something."

Cloe sat down on it, "Oh my god, you should feel how soft this bed is!"

She laid back on four individual pillows and started to relax. Jade put down a hair-brush she was looking at, and payed attention to Cloe. "Cloe? this isn't your room! You shouldn't be trying out Raven's bed."

"Sorry. It's just so soft..."

Sasha shook her head smiling. Cloe left the bed and walked over to where her three friends stood. "Well, seams like no ones home. Maybe the screams are just in our heads..."

Jade cocked her head, with her hands on her hips. She moved her left hand off, her palm facing the ceiling. "Well then, I guess we all have the same imaginations because, that's highly impossible..."

Just then a constant knocking was heard from behind the door. Cloe whispered, "Oh no! Everybody hide!"

She crawled under the bed with Jade, while Yasmin and Sasha hid behind the two masks. Beast Boy put his pointy ear up to the door. Cloe looked at Jade and whispered, "Do you think they're-"

Jade shushed her and looked back at the door.

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow and walked in, "Raven? Are you home?"

Cloe whispered again "What's he-"

Jade covered her mouth to shut her up. Beast Boy looked over at the bed and walked over. He crouched down, and for the first time, looked under it. "Hello..."

"Um..." Jade's eyes flickered around Raven's room. "Hi..."

She smiled at the green guy who asked. "What are you doing?"

Cloe looked at his sparkling green eyes. "Nothing..."

"Really?" They both nodded. "Why aren't you and your friends in living room?"

Cloe and Jade pointed to the masks, got out from under the bed, and brushed off their dusty jeans. The three of them walked over towards the masks.

Sasha peeked out and Yasmin tugged her back behind. B.B cleared his throat and crossed his skinny arms. They're heads slowly came out in sorrow and wonder.

"What are you guys doing in here anyway? Don't you know that Raven doesn't let anyone in her room?"

Cloe's eyes wandered around the room, in both astonishment and wonder, "Well, why not?" Her fingers trailed across the globe, "This place is amazing!"

Beast Boy shushed her, "I don't know..." He crossed his arms again, and shrugged. "She just doesn't. I guess, she hates... intruders..."

Sasha walked over to the sliding door. "Well... can we go? Because," She started to mumble her words. "This place is kind of freakin' me out."

The only answer she got was a smiling nod, from Beast Boy. "Sure can!"

He led the three of them back to main doors. The hallways were long and dark. They had no flashlight's either. Beast Boy probably didn't want them getting lost.

"So, your Cloe, right?"

She had her hands bunched together in a ball. She just nodded, "Mmmhmm..."

"That's cool!"

"Thanks, I... guess..."

She walked back over to her sleeping bag, and fell asleep.
