Strange Fate
Sarah Strange looked down at her pad, she had been doodling again. She was shy, pretty could see the future and liked art but in no way at all related to someone called Kaitlyn Fairchild.
"Oh dear, who ever shall I go to prom with?" she muttered. Life really sucked when you had two boys fighting over you.
She could never decide between Mal and Kierlan, one was a bad boy, and one was nice and good. No she was definitely nothing to do with Kaitlyn.
Finally however Mal (the bad one) strode up to Sarah, he had finally had enough of all her bitching and whining. After all he was a Wild Power. If that wasn't good enough then screw her.
He ripped her pencil out of her hand and she looked back like a deer blinking in the headlights, stunded.
"Predict this witch" He hissed and opened a vein. Blue fire filled her body and in a second she was ash.
Kierlan came up behind him and shook his head "Was that really necessary?"
"Did you really want to do that whole secret circle dark visions storyline AGAIN" Mal snapped back
"No not really" Kierlan sighed resoundingly.
Back at the mansion Thierry Descoudres was sitting explaining to the rest of Circle Daybreak why they had got the date of the apocalypse wrong.
Hannah sat next to him, close. He liked having her there after so long apart, now he made sure she barely left his side, except to pee.
"Well obviously the date was supposed to be the millennium, but there are astral variances to take into account" He continued
"Astral variances?" Ash Redfern raised a eyebrow trying to keep the sarcasm out of his voice. He had the distinct theory that the Lord and Master of the Night World did not have a clue.
"Changes in calenders, planetary wobbles etc etc" Theirry continued
Hannah put a hand on his arm offering support "The current calenders only a guess really, when the planet is actually 2000 years old, well that's another question"
"So how do we know then" Rashel asked bluntly the question that was on everyone's lips. When was it going to happen? When were the Dragons going to wake up and start the war?
1999, new years eve
Deep beneath the earth in caverns untouched by the hand of man or beast for centuries the Old Powers stirred. Hundreds of Dragons lay in a slumber cast by that of Hecate Witch Queen.
They slept soundly, undisturbed by the celebrations above them, undisturbed by people panicking that all the computers were going to explode and kill us all. Undisturbed until in time square that glittery ball began to descend.
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
Happyyyyyyyyyyy Neeeeeewwwwww YYYYYEEEEEEAAAARRRR
Deep beneath the earth a digital alarm clock rang out.
"Dude" A male dragon cried out "Turn it off"
"Its time to get up" Another muttered from under his duvet
A girl dragon fumbled out in the dark towards the flashing red and black display "Hit the snooze button"
"Yeah, a few more years isn't going to hurt"
Ash had decided to sack off the next Circle Daybreak meeting, they were pretty much all the same anyway. Everyone was just sitting around waiting for something to happen. Especially now they had found the last Wild Power. He had walked in the front door muttering something about a big milky white crystal? The crux of the matter was Ash Redfern was bored.
He sighed. How long had it been since he had been back to Briar Creek? Oh stuff it!
He got into his car and drove.
Mary- lynette was looking at the stars.......again. There wasn't really much else to do in Briar Creek apart from star gaze. She was starting to regret sending her soulmate away. I mean what kind of lame ass girl, who blatantly has never had a boyfriend before sends him away just because he has been a teensy weensy bit naughty, when she could be kissing him LOTS. Well that's what Bunny Marten had said. Mary Lynette had punched her in the face. She had enjoyed seeing her blonde hair go flying, and that wonderful crunch as her nose broke. Yet her words had made a bit of sense.
So she had spent the last six months sitting on her hands wondering if she had been stupid sending him away in the first place. However admitting she was wrong was not her strong suit. Calling him and telling him that was definitely out of the question. Ash wasn't due to visit for ANOTHER whole six months DAMN IT!!!!!!
She looked back into her telescope swearing at herself yet again. The moon was about to rise, she wouldn't have much longer out here anyway. She adjusted the focus, trying to get a better view, then the lens went back. The sky was blocked out as suddenly as if it were an eclipse.
"Hey" A familiar voice whispered, full of uncertainty.
Mary lynette paused. She was afraid to look up but she took a breath and moved her gaze from the eye piece "You're early"
Ash merely shrugged with his hands in his pockets as if to say 'here I am'. His usual cocky replies always somehow left him at the town limits.
Suddenly Mary lynette was in his arms, the telescope rattled to the ground, there was a smash as the lens broke. Screw it, she thought as the world turned pink. She had better things to do than star watch.
Jez Redfern was playing poker with Morgead, and winning. Morgead was not happy, he was already down both shoes, both socks and his shirt. Jez so far had only lost her leather jacket. She was pretty sure she could have him completely naked in two more hands.
"Laugh it up Jezebel"
She grinned "Don't worry Morgy," She stuck her tongue out childishly. That is when it hit her, the call.
Morgead saw her face fall "What's wrong, Jez? Jez?"
"I don't know?" She stuttered
It was all she could see, it was all she could hear.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna turn around hurt you
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna turn around
Never gonna run around
And desert you
"Its awful Morgead" Jez wept
He had never seen his girlfriend cry before, not in all the years he had known her. It was freaking him out.
Maggie Neely cradled Delos Redfern. He had both hands pressed against his head
"It won't stop Maggie, its terrible, why won't it stop?"
Iliana Harman danced gleefully around her room.
"Its a call" Delos replied solomnly. Rick Astley was still battering his brain, not giving him one minutes peace. They had called all the Wild Powers together, something which they usually avoided on safety grounds, but this was a emergency. "A battle call"
"Well its certainly making me want to fight" Jez growled
"Then it's time" Mal said unenthusiastically.
Illiana was still dancing like a idiot, he was finding it very hard not to zap her the way he had Sarah Strange.
"Where do we go?" Jez asked
Illiana turned to them and smiled as if it was obvious "To we feel the power of Rick Astley strongest"
Delos looked at Jez "This is going to be painful"
