Yay I'm back for good for a bit as I'm not back in university yet. This story is one that I have been working on for a while. It isn't like The Day I Died as this is darker and unlike the majority of my FanFictions no one gets killed in this fanfiction well someone is already dead but it's not one of the main characthers. The title of the story comes from my favourite Mallory Knox song. I've been wanting to write a supernatural story for while and I hope that this is good. If anyone likes the story please review, I love reviews. This is my first attempt at a story like this so be nice please x x

Clouds gathered in the darkness and might around Marlinspike Hall's warm english air. The atmosphere sounded it's siren silencing the earth that laid below. The earth complied as bolts of electric fire ran through from negative to positive, igniting the electrons as it did so.
The Captain was usually a sound sleeper but tonight he couldn't settle. A sudden bolt of lighterning was followed up by an earth shattering crack of thunder, making the Captain shoot bolt upright in bed. Quickly controlling his breathing he threw his feet out of bed, ignoring the coldness of the hardwood floor. Pausing he gazed around the room only to witness the room get awashed in white light temporarily blinding the Captains sight. Pulling himself up he decided there was no point staying in bed as he wasn't going to fall back asleep anytime soon.
As he walked into the lengthy coridoor leading to the main stairs he noticed that Tintin's door was wide open but Tintin's bed was notably absent of said reporter. The Captain headed down to the kitchen and flickering the light switch realised that the power was out.
"Darn it" he exclaimed realising he wouldn't be able to make a hot drink to attempt to combat his hieghtened awakened state given the time that it was. Glancing at the clock he squinted slightly trying to make sense of the numbers in the darkness.
"Midnight? That can't be right" he stated.
He eyed up the clock for the second time, convinced that what he was seeing was wrong as if the clock was right then he had only been asleep for an hour.
Another flash of lightening lit up the room and a loud creek echoed through the kitchen and in an instant the Captain felt cold air against his skin. Turning around to consult it he saw the curtains blowing violently with the breeze from the window that had been blown open and it was followed by various clicks and creaks from the stairs. The Captain didn't feel comfortable anymore.

Tintin jumped through the hedge and immedaitly began to run. The night was basking with a presence of evil and with every strike of the negative ions upon the earthly ground Tintin felt less and less safe. As he cleared the next field a strong invisible force pushed him right off his feet, making him land hard and aukwardly upon his stomach, but this wasn't wind not by a long shot.
As he pulled himself up he could see Marlinspike Hall barely three hundred metres away, wondering if he could escape the evil sensation that was lingering in the darkness. Racing from his spot he jumped onto Marlinspike's surrounding wall, pulling himself over in one fluid movement. He paused as he hit the ground. He still didn't feel safe.
The night screamed in thunder, tones so dark that it sounded like the prince of darkness himself was speaking causing Tintin to start running again, even harder than before.
A swipe came at him in the darkness missing him by mere centimetres but that wouldn't be the end of it, not by a long shot. It was just the begining.

The Captain flickered the switch for the billionith time and sighed loundly before heading back to the main room. Right at this moment a new darkness was descending and it was one that the Captain and Tintin would not expect and the events that would occur tonight would change their lives and not for the better.
Suddenly the door slammed open, hitting the adjoining wall, causing rain to immediatly seep into the hallway. Tintin stummbled into the hallway and collapsed into the Captain's arms.
"Tintin what happened?"
"I..I..I'm not sure" he stuttered. He was breathing heavily, trying to get as much oxygen as possible back into his body but he still didn't feel comfortable despite residing in the arms of his friend. Tintin was battered and bruised not to mention all of his clothering was soaked right through inculding his hair which had been eradicated of it's usual quiff that made him even more unique. The Captain pulled him close, not paying any attention to the water soaking into his dressing gown. As Tintin let go he supported himself against the staircase as the Captain went to close the door.
Dark Forces were at work tonight
