-1Abigail- "Sweet! Just one thing, though - I picture myself as having brown hair and blue eyes. Other than that, excellent job! I can't wait for the next chapter.
Keep up the good work!"

Sorry Abigail but I couldn't give you blue eyes since Claire does and I want her and David to be the only ones.

Thanks you for the review! I'm glad your still a reader.

I dedicate these next two chapters to you.

I have great plans for your character…

Pitch Black

Claire POV

The blindness came as the sun vanished, we all stumbled to the closest exit trying to find the reason for the paranormal movement that was in place. "Cool." Xavier was the first outside I stood still letting the rest of them move out the door; I held back straddling the threshold.

They began laughing like a bunch of kids in an amusement park and I heard the guys wrestling each other. I stared at where the sun should had been and it had been swallowed up by a black sphere. Consuming the rays of the sun making an unbalance that everyone would notice. Magic was out in the open.

Hours of Daylight

David POV

It was nighttime but I felt like I had only slept a couple hours. The guys felt the same way shuffling their feet and grumbling incoherently about still being exhausted. Something was off. "I think that Claire did some prank on us or something because there's no way I got a good day's rest." Paul said as he moved to his bike as Marko grinned thinking, what did she do?

"We should find Claire." I could sense her thoughts even thought she was miles away. They were obscure something about the sun having a sphere. She was troubled which made me win the race we had to the boardwalk and the one to Lily Bay.

"Calm.. we'll find her David.." Dwayne eased into my head as Paul and Marko confirmed him. Lily Bay was a mess like Santa Carla had been but we were in such a rush we didn't notice the people. They weren't the average nightwalkers of the boardwalk usually sponsored when we roamed around outside. Their weren't celebrations or punks mingling instead mothers held onto their children walking swiftly to the safely of their homes. Tons of people littered the street looking to the sky with worry and with dazed looks on their faces.

A camera crew had already set up "We come to you live in Lily Bay, California. This is channel 8 news to cover this supernatural event that not even an hour ago; the sun was omitted from the sky by a black entity. People are scared and many are saying that the world is about to end. Scientist around the world are not meeting to discuss this occurrence.."

"Claire couldn't have done this.." Marko then looked at the crowd in marvel. If it was true we where walking in what should have been the harsh light of day. I surveyed the scene as Claire broke threw David.. relief filled her voice. She was just as taken aback as we were. What happened? I saw her forcing herself threw the swarm of onlookers. She had assistance with getting her way over to me. Jacey, Skylar, Abigail and the two males that Jacey had mentioned, came charging threw as the atmosphere around them parted the crowd, shuffling people out of their way.

"David." When she called me I went to her and triggered the barrier. I stepped back having nothing to say and with no way of comfort, we just stared at the other. I didn't have her yet..

In the Company of

Claire POV

"Ok, first of all this is quite a work of art. Why didn't we think of this?" Xavier was impressed as he gazed up into the sky.

"Yeah, its cool." I said sarcastically "But something just shut down the one thing we need for human life." His cold eyes studied me in displeasure as he responded "It needed to end sometime." His snicker made me heated as I spit out "Maybe Satan has a place in hell for you."

"I hope so I always wanted to meet him." His astute grin of wickedness almost made me take a swing at his face. I let it go we needed to find out who was doing this.

"I'm hungry." Abigail chipped in as I glared at her in a way-more-important-things-going-on look. "Food makes me think better plus I think the females in our group are lacking in that department.." She knew she won, with her sweet smile of victory.

"Okay we can talk while we eat." I was always a leader and Jacey nodded in agreement putting in a pizza place that we can go. Think you can score some cash?" A challenge that I easier prevailed as I pocketed collected $130 from random spectators. We were seated by a anxious looking teen who still had the male hormones to check females out, in spite of the events occurring. Abigail flashed him a playful smile after he took our orders of ten colas and three large pizzas. Mine had green pepper which they ridiculed, a meat loves for the guys, and a pepperoni.

"Abby the boys probably hyperventilating right now." Jacey teased as we all laughed. At that Abby peered at Paul flashing him a smile that made me gawp at her. God, she was wicked. Good thing I didn't have to hear his thoughts like Dwayne, David, and Marko did. They just grinned incapable of calming Paul thoughts.

"Powerful magic's were used no plain witch or group could pull that off." Jacey pulled us back to reality.

"Like a higher being?" Abigail sipped her coke. "You don't think the Black-"

"The God of Dark Fate." It had to be but why would bloating out the sun do.. Unless he was making some sort of veil over his opposition, Horus the God of the Light. To-

"What is he doing Claire." I looked up to see blue eyes filled with uncertainly.

"For filling the arrangement.." The cult started discussing it amongst themselves as the boys just intently watched me. My mind went blank and David's voice called to me both in my mind and in the open air. I lowered my head.. Something within me made me disregard the looks and pleas. I absent mindedly handed over the money to someone then got up to follow the group outside.

Awareness

"We should go into Enchantment Occult Store, maybe we could.." Skylar trailed off and no one filled in the blanks. They had no idea how to bring back the sun. the darkness was all around me and it was spilling over with the magic's that held it there.

"Yeah that would be somewhere to start with all we have to do is find a spell or get more ingredients to go see the God of Dark Fate." Jacey almost looked excited at the prospect of meeting him.

"I will go see the God of Dark Fate if it comes down to it." I didn't need a hoard of people crashing the God's dimension. I really think I would have to go back but just in case I wanted to make the point of no one was going along with me.

"Fine but I shouldn't go in the store, I not welcomed." She walked to her friends that were huddled together. Over her shoulder she yelled "We'll meet at your place in a couple hours." They disappeared. I looked at the guys and a smile came to my face.

"Oh Claire, we love you too." Paul grinned, coming over to give me his hug.

"I know." Hugging him back my chin on his shoulder. I pulled back from Paul "I'll be right back." I went in the direction of the occult store when Paul caught up to me.

"I have to keep an eye on you." Walking by my side as I took his arm.

"Just make sure you'll not looking at my butt Paul." He smirked replying "You know I can't do that Claire." I rolled my eyes and leaned my head on his shoulder affectionately "I love you Paul."

"Who couldn't." I raised my head to look at him. "So full of your self sometimes." We were still laughing as we entered the occult store. Addison was in conversation with her sister behind the counter. "You were suppose to be an hour ago, where were you?" Addison was eyeing her sister as she replied. "I do have a life outside of this store. I don't even like working here." Addison sighed then spotted us and a look of revulsion crossed her face. She knew something was evil and judign from her point of interest it was Paul. Him being Paul thought she was ogling him like others before her. "Hey babe." Her look darkened I prayed that she didn't have any explosive man power or something because she looked like she was ready to unleash it upon Paul. She marched over "You are not allowed in here." Callie wandered over "Addison stop it you can't just chase potential customers away just because you have a bad feeling."

"That's right so would you excuse us we have things to buy." Paul he wasn't the type to back off. "I refuse to serve him." She spat this out with hatred. "Fine then I will." Moving in front of her sister. "What can I do for you?" Ignoring her sister. "Well Callie.." he was also a big flirt. "I hoped to find a spell-" Callie interrupted him a voice that wasn't her own warned "You are in danger.." Her eyes were fixed as the words flowed out.

"Callie? Callie you have a active power… Callie." Forgetting all about Paul and I. She reached for her still sister as Callie's monotone voice forewarned.

"We have come to caution you. You have an admirer that has organized circumstances in your life to get you to where you are now. He will take more loves away from you to achieve his ploy to have you at his companion. Beware he is coming at you at all sides with no mercy for the ones he favors to believe will keep you near... be wary.. and the commence of your four will not come to pass."

"That.. that can't be." I stepped back "He wouldn't he.." My breaths went ragged and I was traumatized, aware of the fact that my whole life had been planned out.. by him. I fainted into Paul's arms.
