Look Who's Back

"Quinn, are you sure you don't want a cookie?" Jade said offering the vampire a bite of the chewy morsel.

"Yes! For the ninety-eighth time I don't want a damn cookie! I want to leave. But I can't do that until Ash gets back with Mary-Lynette, so get out of my face!"

Jade looked stunned.

"Do you mean that my sister is leaving with that jerk when they come back?" Mark asked bitterly.

"Yes," Quinn replied.

"No, she isn't."

"That's for her to decide, now isn't it?"

"No! She's staying here!"

"No, she isn't!"

"Yes, she is!"

"I'm what?" Mary-Lynette inquired as she walked into the kitchen behind Ash.

"Did you tell her everything?" Quinn asked as he got up to leave.

"Umm, yah. Pretty much." Ash replied.

"Good. Let's leave."

"No! She isn't leaving!"

"Be quiet, Mark. I'm going."

"What!?"

"Look," she said approaching her younger brother, "I have to do this. You have to cover for me. Between you and Jade, I'm confident you can make up something credible, ok?"

"So you're just leaving right now?"

"Of course not, silly. I have to back first."

"Well hurry up because some of has have people waiting!" Quinn yelled agitated.

One hour later, Ash, Mary-Lynette, and Quinn were back on the jet with the rest of the crew flying home to Las Vegas. The two soulmates seemed overjoyed to be back together and couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other during the flight.

*You never told me where you got those wounds.*

*Just doing business, babe.*

*Ash?*

*Yep?*

*I'm sorry I slapped you.*

*Don' worry about it. I love you.*

*I love you too.*

Somewhere, in the deep caves of Nevada, three Midnight witches crowded around a shocking blue fire, throwing in various herbs and particles and chanting ancient words. A mummified body lay on an oak pellet levitating above the fire. The pruned body resembled that of a beautiful young girl, but she was long dead.

"Blood of the enemy, heart of the pure, soul of the lost; we sacrifice to thee Isis, goddess of life."

"Receive our gifts and grant our request."

"Bring this woman back to us..."

"As she was before..."

"But with renewed strength."

"Help us, goddess."

The fire glowed brighter and brighter.

"It's time for the final step," the crone of the group said, "You know what we have to do."

"Yes," the other two replied in unison.

The crone began, "Isis! We give ourselves to your servitude! Bring her back! Bring her back! Now!" she yelled to her companions.

The three witches took hold of their sharp daggers with both hands and plunged them into each of their cold hearts. As life drained from them, each fell forward into the blaze to be consumed by its burning evil and hatred. A piercing light burst in the cave like an explosion along with the shrill cry of a woman.

The light faded. The remaining wooden plank collapsed on the stone floor.

The body was not that of someone dead anymore. On it was a woman. She had long midnight black hair and lovely creamy skin. She stirred, and her dark eyes opened. She stood and looked around her.

"It's about time somebody brought me back."

~Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all. Radiate, recognize one silent call as we all form one dark flame. Incinerate.~
