Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, school and all. Well, here it is!

P.S: I will be continuing the story from here on out! :)

Inside the dark sphere of energy crouched Robin….well, at least something resembling Robin. Its face twisted into an agonized smile, while knife-sharp teeth glistened in the moonlight. Its body was gruesomely massacred into that of an unnoticeable zombie of their friend. It had one arm, and two legs, with a red demon's tail twisted from its body. Raven had seen things more disturbing, but it was different when the thing was one of your friends.

"What is it?" Starfire quietly asked, her hands trembling as they reached for Raven's shoulder.

"Some messed up experiment that roughly wandered onto our path….which means we're going the right way." Raven stated.

"Is this the real Robin?"

"No, Cyborg. This zombie has artificial life energy. Therefore, it has no heart, and I highly doubt they would kill their lab rats."

"What should we do with it?" Starfire asked.

"It's a bug." Raven stated, her eyes growing pitch black. She slowly started to close her hand into a fist. As her hands got closer to a fist the energy sphere grew smaller, and smaller. Then a fist was made. There was an agonizing screech, like nails on a chalkboard. A sickening crunch followed b a squelch silenced it all.

"And some bugs have to be squished."

Starfire's POV

The whistling wind would not allow me the close comfort of sleep. I tried singing the lullabies of my home world, but they could not fully grasp me into their waiting hands. The image of the robin-zombie floated around in my head. The most disturbing part was the part where he was crushed by Raven's energy. As she thought of this and other things the smell of burning wood wafted into her tent.

(In the last chapter they just had sleeping bags, but I decided it better if they all had individual tents).

It curled its long tendrils around her, lifting her from all of her thoughts. She flew out of her tent and saw one thing and one thing only; The forest was ablaze.

This wasn't a very long chapter, but I have a really long one coming up next!
