“What a party.” Robin grumbled as he woke up with his head spinning furiously. He massaged it as he sat up. The light outside shown threw the window. But the sun wasn’t on his side of the building yet. But he still felt the effects no doubt. Not that he knew what he was feeling. But suddenly he felt a certain hatred towards the day and anything that had to do with it. And as he walked to the window to shut the blinds, he began to feel more irritated the closer he got to it. Shutting them, he felt a bit energized now that it was darker. Locking the door to his room and heading to the bathroom. He got undressed and trotted in the shower.

About 10 Minutes Later

He hopped out and dried himself, heading towards the mirror, he washed his face and brushed his teeth. And walked out, but he paused in the doorway. Had he just seen something he didn’t really see? He backed up slowly towards the mirror, then wiped away the moisture. And jumped back in shock at the sight before him.

His eyes were no longer his, but a bloody red. The pupils gone from view, two red orbs sat in a space of white. Then he remembered last night’s problem. He looked at his hands, claws now grew from his fingertips. He looked back into the mirror, and fangs jutted out from his teeth like sharp peaks in a mountain range. Then a voice came calling his name, it was familiar, but it sounded a little different.

–I was wondering when you’d remember–

“Who. . .who is this?” Robin asked the voice in his head, feeling a little uneasy.

–Me, ya know the black ghost from last night–

“Why do you sound so different?”

–I can be more laid back now that I’m in you–

“In me?”

–Yeah, like your Vampire Conscious–

“Vampire Conscious? Right Jiminy the Vamp. What do I do now?”

–Now, you go see the person who did this to you–

“Raven.” He said with a frown. So he began to get dressed, leaving the room and heading towards Raven’s room. The voice came back, noting the venom in Robin’s voice.

–Listen, it didn’t come out the way it meant to. Because you know she didn’t mean to. And remind me, we have to go shopping, these clothes are way to bright for my liking.–

Robin made a noise sounding somewhat like a snort, getting to her door. He knocked. . .once. . .twice. . .three times. Still no answer. So he turned the handle, unlocked. He pushed it open and walked inside. And there he spotted Raven’s sleeping body, dazing without a care in the world. Robin walked in and closed the door, slowly walking towards her with hushed steps and hushed breaths.

“She’s. . .” He trailed off, noticing that she actually did where different clothes besides the leotard.

–Beautiful– The voice finished for him.

“Yeah. . .” He said dreamily. Wearing what seemed to be a silky, of course, purple nightgown. But she looked completely different than usual, like the depressed gothic teen he was used to seeing. She looked more care free. More like Starfire. She was as comfortable as can be.

–Your wondering why she looks different, huh?–

“Yeah, it’s because of Trigon being gone isn’t it.”

–That. And the fact that your dark, hence the riddles, just like she is. And with the fact that you are a vampire now. A lot of things will be different to you. Earlier you felt a certain hatred towards the day, didn’t you?–

‘Yes, and I liked it when I shut the blinds. I felt like I was right at home.’ Robin rubbed his temples, then looked at his clothes. And disgust zipped across his face.

‘Your right, these clothes are too bright. So what, I ask Raven for advice on clothes now.’

–Not sure that’d be a good idea, seeing as she looks pretty pissed.–

Robin looked at Raven, and sure enough, her face was contorted like she didn’t know how to react.

“What are you doing in my room?” She forced herself not to yell, seeing as he was just standing there doing nothing. And that it was Robin and nobody else.

‘How’d I get so side tracked?’ He asked himself. Raven sat up, anger growing because he wasn’t answering.

“WHY ARE–” Raven yelled, anger getting the best of her. But she was cut off by hissing Robin. Mouth pulled back, fangs showing to threaten the opponent. Raven fell back more in surprise than in horror. Robin covered his mouth, regretting that instantly. But instinct had taken over. He wheeled around, out the door, and into the hallway, where he didn’t know where he was going. But he began to notice the further he walked, the darker it got. Then he realized he was in the basement, memories here. This is where he had defeated Slade in his head. He hopped from pipe to pipe, until he was hidden in the shadows from anyone who would search for him.

“Jiminy. Why did I. . .hiss, I guess, I mean where did it come from?” Robin asked, speaking in a whisper, even though nobody was there.
–Because everything’s new to you. Don’t worry about it, in time you will get used to it. And I don’t think you notice just how high you actually are Robin. . . Did you just call me Jiminy?–

“Yeah.” He snorted, he looked down, then looked up. He was exactly below the ceiling. Able to reach up and touch it if he wanted to. Then he noticed he was squatting on a pipe, in a form even he thought he couldn’t do.

“Does this mean I’m immortal? I can’t die?” He asked.

–Yes–

Robin stood up.

–What are you doing. Don’t!–

But it was too late, he leaned off the pipe and plummeted towards the floor. A sure death for anyone human like him.

‘But I’m immortal now.’ He thought

“ROBIN!” Raven came flying from nowhere, yanking Robin from the air and into her body. She touched the ground, and Robin forced his way out her grasp.

“What did you do that for?” He spat, Raven was no longer caring, but yet again angry at the fact that her love for Robin was dying. What was it a day going on now. First the room and now.

“Look just because I yelled at you doesn’t mean you have to go and kill yourself!” Raven said. Robin’s face twisted into a I-can’t-believe-you-said-that-look.

“Who do you think I am, Beastboy?” He turned his back on her, not really even mad at her.

“Fine then” She turned to leave. Getting near the door. . .

–She still doesn’t know–

“Wait!” He called before she walked out the door. She turned around with an annoyed look on her face. Robin looked at his hands, turned them into a fist. He squatted down, then jumped from the basement floor, up past the stairs. And right next to Raven.

‘A jump like that could only be made by Cyborg, Starfire, and me. But Robin, something did happen to him.’

“Raven, we need to talk.” They sat there on the stairs, and talked, from the book to him being a vampire. By the end, Raven was trembling. She then shot up from her seat and walked out the basement. Robin went to follow her, but was stopped by Jiminy.

–From now on call me J alright. Now besides that. Don’t follow her man, let her process this in. She just found out she turned you into a vampire and that you know she likes you. I’d be a bit irritated to.–

“Why do things have to be so hard in my life. You’d think since Trigon is gone things would get easier. Now I have to deal with this.” He sighed.

–What, being a vampire?–

“What do you think.”

–Hey! Don’t get no attitude with me!–

“Yes Batman.”

–Being a vampire isn’t as bad as you may think it is–

“Yeah right.” He stood up and walked out the basement. Walking towards the Living Quarters, the door swung open. The sun shone corner wise through the room. Just enough shade for him to sit down at the table without any skin irritation. Sitting down he spotted Starfire coming his way.

‘Great, something else to mess my day up.’ He grimaced as Starfire sat down next to him. He hid his claws from view.

“Hello Robin!” She said cheerfully. “There seems to be something wrong.” She pried.

“Nothing Star. I just have a headache, that’s all.” He lied.

–Headache–

‘That’s right, headache.’ He told his conscious.

–Just tell her, tell all your friends.–

‘It’s not that easy. I thought you knew everything. Vampires aren’t to smiled upon in this day an’ age’ Robin told his conscious sarcastically.

“Robin! Did you here anything I just said to you?” Starfire yelled. Startling Robin out of his discussion with J.

“What, oh, sorry Star. Got a little distracted there. What were you saying?”

“My Tamaranian techniques will rid you of this headache. Come on.” She sat up and walked over to Robin.

“No that’s okay Star. I thinks it’s getting better as we speak..”

“No Robin, come on, it will help.” She persisted.

“Star really it’s okay.”

“Robin, why will you not let me help you?” She asked

“Its, just because. I’m feeling better alright.”

“It’s because you like Raven, is it not?”

“What?”

“The way you hugged her out by the water, the way you looked when we came back from looking for decorations, and the way you were looking at her when she was putting up the banner.” She exhaled. Robin rubbed his temples.

“Starfire, what are you talking about.” He sighed, now he really was getting a headache.

“Last night, when you went to Raven’s room, what were you thinking?” Robin, like any drunk, didn’t really remember that. So naturally, he was speechless.

“You do, don’t you.” She covered her mouth. Robin couldn’t understand why she was making such a big deal out of this. Well. . . maybe he did. She had liked him for as about as long as she knew him.

–Um. . .Robin–

“Robin.” Starfire yelled for his attention.

–Robin–

“Robin, listen to me.” Starfire unknowingly fighting for his attention until Beastboy yelled over from the game station.

“Hey Rob, bet you can’t beat me at ULTRA DEATHMAN 57!” He yelled.

–Robin!-

“Robin!” Starfire yelled.

“Hey! Robin!” Beastboy yelled too.

“–ROBIN!!–” They all yelled in unison.

“SHUT UP!!” Robin bellowed. They all went quiet from his sudden outburst. Staring at him as if he was crazy. Then he smelt smoke, then a sudden intense burning sensation on his arm. He jumped back, the sun’s rays were peaking out from the side of the window. Now his whole body was smoking. So, he did what had to be done, he ran. Past the doors, past Cyborg, straight to his room, he opened, then slammed the door. Nearly breaking it’s hinges. He paced around the room constantly, and he kept taking glances at his arm. It was starting to heal. He stopped pacing and stared at it. Then he sat down on his bed and watched as his arm re-healed itself. Then it was gone, leaving a round red imprint where it was once injured. Sighing, he fell back on his bed.

–So. . . How’s it going?–

“Fucked up, reeaaalll fucked up.” He groaned.

–Exhausted huh?–

“To the point of fucking cussing, yeah.” He said.

–Don’t worry, the worst is over. But you must head to the basement. Those blinds aren’t strong enough–

“Alright.” He got up and walked back down towards the basement. “This better for you.”

–Of course–

“I’m not sleeping down here.”

–You’ll have to. But that’s not why we’re down here. . .besides the weak blinds. Train yourself. The dark is your new friend–

“So what I’m Batman or something?”

–Funny, but actually, no. . .no your not. Seriously though, your senses have been heightened tremendously. Train them.–

“That’ll be easy, I‘ve already had training with my past senses.” And he began. Leaping, jumping, sniffing out lost objects, walking through the dark depths of the basement. Till he finally went to sitting on a pipe high off the ground. He was able to hear, Beastboy and Cy battling it out on the station. Starfire, which made him feel a little sad, was heard sniffling on the roof of Titan Tower. And Raven, which he really listened intently too, was talking to herself.

“Let me go over this one more time. This book, appeared when my fath. . .Trigon, died. Check. It made you pick the exact details of my ideal. .boyfriend. Check. Even though him being a vampire I don’t understand. He knows I have these feelings for him. Check. And just that, Robin’s a vampire. Check. Well, that just makes me more interested.”

That was all Robin needed to hear. Shutting himself off. He stood up on one foot, then hopped down to the floor. Walking around, feeling jittery.

“I’m bored, can’t I go exercise or something.” He said, feeling energetic suddenly.

–Why go lift weights when we can go outside and play–


OoOoOo
