Chapter 3
Aragorn leaned closer to hear him better. "What is it? Can you tell?" he asked.
Legolas hesitated for a moment and looked about them. "Nay, I am not sure. It is not Orc, nor Goblin, or Troll. I can hardly hear it. It walks so quietly. I more feel it than hear it! We should warn the others quickly; it's close!"
"Gandalf!" Aragorn said, alerting the wizard and quickly walking over to where he sat. "Legolas senses something is near here, but he cannot tell what it is. He says it walks silently, like no Orc or other foul creature that should be here would."
Gandalf's eyebrows shot up. "Are you sure, Aragorn? Legolas may simply be paranoid of the dark here. I do not know of any creature that would be here other than ones would make quite a bit of noise."
"I am not sure, but although he may be paranoid, I have never known Legolas' senses to fail him." Aragorn replied.

Kalvin stared blankly into the night, leaning his back against the outside of a church building. He knew the sun would be up soon, but he did not care. Why, to hell, why had Thaisis done this to him? He had tried; he had tried so hard to make these mortal feelings go away, but he just could not do it!
He was filled with a horrible sort of emptiness now. He slid down to the ground and hid his face between his arms and knees. If he could cry, he was sure he would have. As soon as he acknowledged this fact, he could instantly see why Thaisis had made him leave.
"I'm pathetic!" he shouted into the darkness, "What kind of vampire am I??! I just mope around and skulk in shadows and feel my utter mortal- like weaknesses!! I feel sorrow at my victims deaths!! Can you believe that?? FEEL SORROW!!!!!"
He was so upset, he did not know what to do. Suddenly, his feeling of self-loathing were also accompanied by a swelling feeling of anger towards Thaisis. He held him head for a minute, letting the anger grows inside him and feeling it start to sweep through his veins. He stood up and shouted, his voice clearer than ever. "I wish something so horrible would happen to Thaisis that it would make him feel what it's like to love and want something so much, but never be worthy of it, and for I be there to watch him!"
He said this speaking out of rage, and not knowing that his wish would truly be granted.

As Kalvin was berating himself, a Wicken girl who had sneaked into the church building was setting up her supplies. She poured out a design of sand, placed the talisman, and lit the candles. She was going to get what she wanted, even if she had to use the darkest magicks to get it.
She spoke in an ancient tongue, but translated she said "Powers of the Keepers! Hear my cry's call! My wish is my spoken command! My command will be obeyed! Powers obey the spoke wish!"
Just then Kalvin's shout echoed into the room. "I wish something so horrible would happen to Thaisis that it would make him feel what it's like to love and want something so much, but never be worthy of it, and for I be there to watch him!"
A booming voice filled the room and racked the walls. Again, it was in the ancient tongue, but it meant, "I hear your wish! It shall be done as the wish commands!" With that a light in the room exploded for only a split instant, and the key talisman evaporated.
The girl stared in shock. "NO!" She threw a crystal at the wall in frustration.
All right, that's it for the pre-show! Next chapter we'll actually get to the story! I know it hasn't been too thrilling yet, but I promise it will get better! Please review!
