It was Sunday at 9 p.m and everybody was worried about Alice. She wouldn't talk to anyone, she wouldn't eat anything. The only thing she would do is drink water from the bathroom sink in Caleb and her room. She spent most of the day in their bedroom crying on the bed. No words discribe a mother's tears, Phil Collins sang this in one of his songs… she agreed with his lyrics.
« It's risky… I might die but I want my daughter back. I don't give a damn about the consequences. » Alice whispered to herself as she got up and got dressed.
Once she was done she left her bedroom and went down the stairs to take a drive. When she got down the stairs she heard Caleb, Pogue, Tyler and Reid taking in the kitchen. Very quietly she walked out of the manor and closed the door behind her, got in her car and drove off to a secret location.
Once she arrived, she took a good look around to make sure that she wasn't followed to this shady looking area. Once the coast was clear she got out of car, locked it and set the anti-theft alarm. She walked into the building and walked down the corridor… her eyes went red as she used and she walked through the wall with the faint glowing color of black.
On the other side she was in a room with a lot of books in a library. They were books about magic and demons.
« See anything you like. » A man asked
Alice turned around a saw a tall thin man with black greasy hair, unshaven beard. He wore a white t-shirt, black pants that was torn in certain places. He also had on black shoes and black leather trench coat.
« I need something in particular. » Alice answered
« And what is pretty young thing like you doing in dirty place like this? » he asked as he looked up and down at Alice
Alice had on a: pair of light denim jeans, black stiletto boots, black tank-top that showed off a lot of her cleavage, her black leather coat that Pogue had gotten her for her 18th birthday.
« I want revenge. »
« And what did this person do? »
« He stole my 8 month-old daughter… I want to make him understand what is the meaning of the word pain. »
« And what kind of pain did you have in mind? »
« I want to kill the son of bitch… once and for all. »
« That is going to take a lot out of you pretty girl. »
He walked over to the bookshelf and took out a heavy leather bond book.
« You realize of course that there is always a price to pay when you deal with black magic… don't you? »
« I don't care! »
« Did you a spell in mind? »
« The eternal darkness spell. »
The man's eyes grew wide when he heard those words. Never has anyone ever used this spell in a very long time. He opened the book and found the page with the steps for preforming the spell.
« First thing's first you'll need to have black magic running through your veins. Who are you? »
« My name is Alice Jane Danvers; Daughter of Ipswich and Turino. »
« Turino… I thought that blood line didn't exist anymore. The high council won't be happy with you… you realize this of course don't you? »
« Do I honestly look like I give a fuck about what they think! »
« No you don't… once you have the black magic you'll have to say the spell for it to work. »
« Fine. »
He made a paper and a pencil appear out of thin air and wrote down the spell and gave it to Alice who put in her jean pocket. He walked over to Alice and placed both of his hands on each side of her shoulders. He kissed her passionetly, Alice could feel the black magic transferring from his body to hers. She loved the taste of it, it was so strong… stronger than any alcohol or drug known to man. She placed her arms around his neck and kissed him back harder wanting more power… so he gave it to her. The magic travelled from her mouth and went into her veins.
When she broke the kiss and pulled away she was panting trying to catch her breath. Her eyes went from red to black, then back to their original color saphire blue and emerald green.
Back at the mansion.
Evelyn went upstairs to go check on Alice… makng sure she was allright. When she got to her room she opened the door and found the bedroom empty. She walked in and looked around in the room then the bathroom but there was still no sign of Alice. Quickly Evelyn ran down the corridor and down the stairs and found the four boys getting ready to leavt to get Sabrina.
« Alice, she isn't here! » Evelyn exclaimed
« What do you mean she isn't here? » Caleb asked
« I mean she isn't in the manor at all… Caleb she might have done something very dangerous or stupid that will hurt her. »
« She might have gone to Putnam Burn. » Reid answered
« We have to get there before she does something stupid! » Caleb exclaimed
They all left the manor, got in Tyler's Hummer and drove to Putnam Barn.
(Putnam Barn)Alice walked out of her car and walked towards the barn. She stopped dead in her tracks; she pulled the piece of paper and started to read the spell.
" I call upon the black magic of the night,
Hear my call give my power and magic to fight.
Demons of Hell I present to you my body,
Come and take over, there's enough room for everybody.
Allow your hate, your pain and your evil to flow through my veins,
Help me give much pain.
My enemy has kidnapped and stolen my dearest love,
I give you wings, to rise up above.
Hear me cry, hear my call,
Make my enemy fall."
When she finished she felt the spell taking effect right away. Her inner core burned as the demons of Hell entered her body. Her eyes went from white to red then finally to black. All over her skin was black veins that stood out from her skin.
She continued walking towards the barn, inside Sabrina was sleeping on stray. There was a light pink shield surrounding her and Chase was waiting for Caleb to arrive. He was surprised to see Alice in the barn since he was expecting Caleb.
"Your daughter is smart putting up a shield to protect herself. I know Caleb is soft but I didn't think he would send his little wife to finish his bidding." Chase said as he used and his eyes went black
"I've come for my daughter you sick son of a bitch!" Alice yelled
"Who are you? I want to know the name of the woman I am about to kill."
"I am Alice Jane Danvers; Daughter of Ipswich and Turino."
"Turino… the blood line is also suppose to be dead!"
"I am also using the Eternal Darkness spell."
She created a ball of fire and sent it flying towards Chase and hit him strait in the chest. He let out a scream of pain as it burned his skin. He looked up at Alice and he a grin on his face.
"Honestly… is that the best you got?"
"I'm just getting started!"
Chase created an orb made out of energy between his hands and sent it flying towards Alice. She caught it with no problems, she focused on the orb forcing it to turn black and sent it flying towards Chase and it hit him in the chest and burned his skin. He also had scratches all over his skin, which were bleeding.
Alice ran over to Chase and grabbed him by the throat and started to squeeze trying to get all the air out of his body.
"How does it feel? To be completely weak not able to defend yourself. You left me feeling broken you sick son of bitch! I will make you pay!"
Alice's hand was surrounded by a black glow, with a quick motion she plunged her hand in Chase's body and pulled out his heart killing him instantly. She let go of his body and it fell with a loud thump. She crushed his heart as if it was made of ashes.
All of a sudden there was a sharp pain coming from her forehead. The veins all around her body got thicker and vanished from her body. The black glow of black energy surrounded her body and it took control over her body. It raised her in the air and sent her flying out of Putnam Barn. She went through the walls of the old wooden barn. Caleb, Pogue, Tyler and Reid saw something flying out of Putnam Barn and started to drive faster.
With a quick motion Alice landed on Tyler's windshield, which cracked the glass and caused Tyler to make a sudden stop.
"Jesus Christ!" Reid screamed as saw Alice roll of the Hummer and hit the pavement.
They all got out and went over to Alice making sure she was allright. Pogue went to Alice's neck to check to see if she had a pulse.
"Is she alive?" Caleb asked
"There is a pulse but it's weak. Caleb go get Sabrina but be quick Alice doesn't have long." Pogue explained
Caleb got up and ran over to the barn. When he got inside he saw his daughter awake on the stray she was sleeping on earlier. A light pink shield surrounded her. He saw Chase dead on the floor with the bleeding hole where his heart was missing.
"It's okay Sabrina… daddy's here." Caleb whispered as he knelt down beside his daughter and looked into her eyes.
She looked into his brown eyes and recognized her father her eyes went pink as she focused and lowered the shield allowing Caleb to take her back home. He picked her up in his arms and inhaled her soft scent; he had tears in his eyes. He thought he was never going to see his daughter again.
"We have to go sweetheart your mommy need's help and I want to make sure your allright too." He told Sabrina as he left Putnam Barn
He got back to the Hummer, got inside and Tyler drove them all to the hospital. Alice was lying against Pogue.
"How is Sabrina doing?" Tyler asked as he kept driving
"She's okay for what I can tell but when we get to the hospital I'll get her checked out by a doctor." Caleb answered as he looked down at his daughter beautiful clear light blue Caribbean eyes.
10 minutes later
Pogue carried Alice in the hospital and everybody else ran behind him.
"We need a doctor… now!" Pogue yelled
"What happened?" The male doctor asked as he rushed over to them
"My wife and child were attacked by a wild animal." Caleb answered in a panicked voice.
"Okay sir we will take care of your wife and doctor price will look at your daughter." He explained as nurses took Alice out of Pogue's arms and placed her on a bed and pushed her in a section of the hospital that was restricted except for doctors.
Caleb, Pogue, Tyler and Reid went into the waiting room and did the obvious thing in a waiting room… they waited.
Reid got up to stretch his legs.
" I'm going to get some coffee and try to find something decent to eat." Reid said as he looked at all of his friends
"I'll go with you." Tyler answered as he got up and joined his friend.
They both left Caleb and Pogue alone in the waiting room.
"She's going to be allright Caleb, Alice is a fighter she pull through this." Pogue said as he put his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I know… back at Putnam Barn when I went inside to get Sabrina. I found Chase dead on the floor."
"What… wait Alice killed him? How?"
"She pulled out his heart. I know her Pogue she would not have done that with her magic."
"Are you sure I mean it's not like you know everything about her magic and powers. Listen when we found her I noticed there was a black glow of energy surrounding her."
"I noticed that too. I think she was using black magic."
"Black magic?"
"I think so… it would make sense she doesn't have it in her nature to be cruel."
"Excuse are you Mr.Danvers?" the redheaded female nurse asked
"Yes I am." Caleb answered
"Your daughter is fine… she some scratches on her skin but it isn't anything serious. They will heal quickly and leave no traces."
"That's good to hear… how is my wife doing?"
"She isn't doing so well."
"What do you mean?" Pogue asked
"She has internal bleeding, she has 2 stitches on her face, some fractured ribs, her left wrist is broken. Right now she is in a coma… I'm so sorry for your wife." She explained to Pogue and Caleb
"Well how long can it be to wake from a coma?" Caleb asked with fear in his eyes
"No one knows… it can be days, weeks, months even years." She explained with sorrow in her eyes. "I am so sorry about your wife sir." She said then leaving Pogue and Caleb alone
Caleb felt as if all the airs were knocked out of his lungs. Tears fell down from his eyes and he started to fall to floor. Pogue caught his friend before he hit the ground; they both sat down on the couch. Caleb cried against Pogue's shoulder, he couldn't stop himself he felt so weak and small. Pogue rubbed is back trying to soothe his best friend.
Author's Note: The Eternal Darkness spell is completly fictional... it doesn't exist but I now own the spell.
