Chapter 9- lost hope
Vamp Queen
Third Person P.O.V.
Disclaimer… oh, yeah. I promised Fredrick that he could do this one… Or was it Dante'? I get the voices in my head mixed up… Anyways… I own nothing. I have no money. Do not sue me.
In this chapter, the hope for return disappears. Life will get weird and there's some strange plot twists. Alright, I'm done. Now I'll continue.
*********************************
When will he get a hint? Raven thought as Seifer walked me back to Fujiin's room. Date's over, I'm done. Leave me alone. I need to talk to Terra and Luna about that thing… I felt it before I heard Luna scream too…
She was so deep into thought that she did not notice walking into Fujiin's room. She did not notice walking into the alcove that was her room. She even did not notice Seifer kissing her neck and leading her to the bed. The thing that she did notice, however, was Seifer unzipping her dress. Raven jerked away and used her brothers' favorite move against each other- a knee in the groin, followed by a hard right hook. She zipped up her dress and glared down at Seifer. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she yelled at him. Seifer looked up from the ground and was surprised to see Raven's eyes filled with fear.
"What the fuck-" he started to say as he got up. He cut off when he was shoved out.
"Get out!" Raven yelled. He started to protest but was cut off yet again. "Get out, now! I never want to see you gain! Out!" with her screams ringing in his ears, Seifer fled to the safety of his own room.

Adel glanced at Aris. "Now, sister? The eternal sleep?"
The second ghost nodded. "Yes," Aris hissed. "Yes, now is the time." The two figures began to float around the scrying pool, chanting in an eerie language forgotten by all except those of true sorceress blood.

Terra looked down at Luna, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed in the med center. Terra smiled. Luna had the same smile on her face that she always had with a good dream. Suddenly, a chill ran down Terra's back. There it was again- that presence that she felt in the ballroom. But… it was stronger. Luna frowned in her sleep and started tossing and turning, which escalated into thrashing. Terra tried to subdue Luna but she felt a swift blow to her head, knocking her back into her chair and rendering her unconscious.
****************************
Looking up from her tear-stained pillow, Raven frowned. Again, there was that presence. This time, though… Her eyes widened and she got up and started running to the med center, the origin of the voices. It was talking to another. Raven as the healer of the group, with empathy, and could talk to animals. She could hear what the beings were saying. It was the old language of mages, enchantresses, and wiccans. And what they were saying… Raven slowed and her eyes glazed over. She collapsed in the hallway as she listened to these strange, but familiar voices.
"Adel, can you feel it? They sense us. They are powerful indeed, and, with this one gone, they will still have that power. Oh, let's put the Waster's Spell on this one. Please?"
There came a throaty laugh that sent chills down Raven's mental spine. "If that will please you, Sister Aris. If it will please you. And have fun. The little healer is watching."
To Raven's horror, she watched as two phantom-like figures cast one of the oldest spells that she knew- Lethios Wastrious- the Waster's Spell. It was a spell that wasted the person or thing away until it completely away. Only the performer could take it off. And if these sorceresses could detect her now, she knew that Luna would be dead in at least a week. She cried silent tears and screamed in her soul as the shadows cackled, then vanished. Then the blessed darkness came and claimed her.
