"I should have known..yes.." It glared ferociously at them. "We shall see...we shall see.."
Ro glared also, particularly hard at his other, as he seized levitation and slowly lowered himself to the ground. Or was it the ceiling? It was so dark everywhere, that there was absolutely no sense of direction. It was like seeing the sun at the bottom of a lake and swimming towards it. But an eerie glow was cast bright enough to settle upon the group, just enough light so that they could see eachother. The Lone Power also touched..down...up...it didn't matter, and walked towards them.
"Children.." he said, almost in fondness. "If I must have resistance..at least it's children..."
It leaned It's hand out to touch Nita, who flinched, but It was surprised when the hand that pushed his own away was not Nita's, but Kit's.
"Welcome," He said, "To what we like to call the 'splitting room.'"
"The splitting room?" Ronan inquired softly. It was the Nita noticed that Ronan seemed very upset. And then it hit her. Was it possible that Ronan was close to Ro? Almost as if they were twins? She shuddered. How awful it must have been to see someone so close act this way. Which deserved some explanations.
But before she could say anything, Ro spoke up.
"It was used when conjoined wizard twins, or wizards who had conjoined family members, wanted to be separated without all the hospitalizing and such. It hasn't been used in years how ever.."
"And now...we like to use it for more...amusing purposes."
And then, Ronan understood. His sharp intake of breath cause Kit and Nita to look at him.
"They...they use darkness to separate...people.."He explained lamely.
It laughed. "Smart one, you are." It mockingly copied Ronan's accent. "I did separate.. 'Ro' here from you, using darkness. But as you can see, Ro here seems to be enjoying it."
Ronan growled. And had Nita been less frightened she would have laughed. But it explained some things. Ro had been torn from Ronan, Ro's mind obviously overcome by something evil.
"That's not Ro." Ronan whispered. "That's a monster."
"Hang on." Kit murmured. "I still don't understand."
Levitating..or sinking...themselves once again, Ro and the Lone Power grinned at eachother.
"Perhaps I could show you." It whispered in delight. Revenge... "Now..let's see... 'Neets..'..I could take your sister in...but.." It looked at Dairine's sprawled form. "She wouldn't be conscious to be of use..let's see now.."
It gazed at them steadily, and It's eyes widened when they landed on Juanita and Christopher. It had always noticed that they were close. Even now, they were standing so close together, it seemed they were glued. But before, in the same stance, it had been so casual. Now, it looked as though their lives depended on them sticking together. Then It realized. It went to them, still staring at them in slight shock. It had always been a possibility in It's mind..It had seen it happen before...but just to make sure...
It reached over, radiating It's power so that she couldn't restrain, and crossed it's finger over her lips. Nita shivered, and Kit tensed, before It drew Nita into It by the waist, noting her horror. And then, A slight pain crossed his face, and he let go of the girl. The boy had punched him. So...Kit stood there, Nita in his arms, pressing her against him protectively and staring over Nita's head to watch It.
"So..." It whispered.. "You've both changed have you?"
They both froze.
"It's been a year since we've seen you..."
"Oh, no. Have you two, by any chance, started dating?"
They didn't answer, but It already knew.
"Nothing more obvious then young love.." It said, as it turned back to look at Ronan, then Dairine, then Ro.
"Perfect." It continued. "Alright...ACCIO!" ( TradeMark: Harry Potter.)
Suddenly, Kit kneeled down, clutching his hand over his heart. His eyes darkened in pain, and he cried out.
"No...Nita..No!"
"Kit," She sobbed. "Kit..I'm right here.."
But even as she said it, she knew she was lying. She was being pulled into something dark. Darker that what was in the room, darker then something that limited your sight. Something that pounded in your heart when you feared. All she could do was watch, as Kit crossed his arms over himself and rocked. She was losing him, losing him and there was nothing she could do.
"Nita!" He cried hoarsely, tears streaming and a hand over his heart. "NITA!"
And then it seemed to be over. Kit stood, his eyes a dark black instead of the chocolate she was used to seeing. He spoke harshly in the speech, and Nita gasped when she saw him grin the same way as Ro.
"Thank you..." He wiped an arm across his forehead. "It felt as if I was going to be stuck with her forever!"
She looked up at him, and Ronan winced suddenly, when she saw her glare in determination. The Lone Power would have been smarter had it taken Nita instead. Because now in full sanity, unlike Kit, she knew exactly what was going on. And she was going to fight.
"Christopher Michael Rodriguez!"
Everyone, even the Lone Power, winced except for Dairine, Nita and Kit. Dairine, still unconscious, had no idea what was going on. But Nita and Kit, were staring at eachother, unblinking. Nita had proposed a challenge, and Kit was taking it.. 'lowering' himself down to her, and walking up so that they were face to face, body to body. Ronan winced again. He had seem them like this before, many times, in Ireland all those years ago and even when he was at the Callahan's with Dairine, they always stood like this for the exact same purpose. They were going to fight, and they would not stop for a very long time.
"Juanita Elizabeth Callahan!"
'Oh,' The Lone Power thought. 'This is going to be fun.'
