The Rise of the Darkness

2

"well sweetie, there is something we have to tell you." Fleta's mother replied.

"You see dears… well it is hard to explain…" Bonita's mother started.

"Well you see, we aren't your biological parents." Ciara's mother said straight.

"What?!" all four girls exclaimed.

"Why the hell didn't you tell us before?" Elizabeth questioned

"no I don't believe you." Fleta said quite crushed.

"It is the truth poppet. I'm sorry." Fleta's mother told Fleta gently.

"you see girls, you four are well different." Bonita's father spoke up.

"You girls are… part of a prophecy." Elizabeth's Father began.

"you have got to be taking the…." Elizabeth started.

"I'm afraid we aren't darling." Ciara's mother interrupted.

"I suppose we better start from the beginning… there is a prophecy that foretold of the after effects of the great millennium battle in the new world…" Bonita's mother started.

"New world?" Elizabeth interrupted.

"America." Ciara said with a bit of irritation.

"And it tells of four vampires that will be born. The first in the winter of the new year. That's you Bonita. The second in the autumn. That's you Ciara. The third at the end of the following spring. that's you Lizzy. And the fourth to be born at the beginning of the summer. That's you Fleta." Elizabeth's mother explains.

"yeah ok, but why keep it a secret?" Bonita asked

"well it also tells that the four can't know of the prophecy until the powers have been awoken. We do not know why it just does." Fleta's mother answered.

"yeah understandable, but why were we not brought up with our biological parents?" Ciara asked.

"Well the prophecy also said that you could not be brought up in that country, you had to be brought up away from it. We think that it is because the next battle will take place in America like the millennium battle, and if anyone working for the darkness found out who you were the would try to kidnap and kill you. So sending you to England was so that you could grow up and become strong enough to defend yourselves." Ciara's Mother replied.

"So how did we our parents know we were The Four mentioned in the prophecy?" Bonita asked.

"Your mothers had all been friends. And at the beginning of the last century they had travelled around together without their partners. And Bonita's Mother fell pregnant first and before she was due to be born Ciara's mother fell pregnant. And when she was 6th months gone Elizabeth's mother fell pregnant, followed a month later by Fleta's mother. They were all worried and confused as none of them had slept with anyone since they had left in February then two months later Bonita's mother was pregnant. So they went to a circle of powerful witches and on arrival, the witches took one look at baby Bonita and the other three pregnant women and they were told what they had feared, that they were all carrying The Four from the prophecy." Fleta's mother told.

"So how did we end up here with you?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well we were your mothers' most trusted servants in England. We kept their mansion for when they visited England. And they gave you to us and sent us away. The other servants thought we had gone with them to America to work in the mansion there, and we brought you all up as our own in the most isolated parts of the country we could find." Elizabeth's mother told them.

"so how come we haven't noticed this power we have?" Fleta questioned.

"because it was only activated when the Darkness took its first life. Which must have happened today." Bonita's mother answered.

"Now that you know you have to go to America." Ciara's mother told them.

"What?!" hey all chorused.

"When?" Fleta asked.

"As soon as possible I'm afraid." Ciara's mother continued.

"Are you not coming?" Bonita asked

"I'm afraid we can't darling. If we turn up with you people will ask more questions as we are known over there. But if you four are not known. You can just say you are on holiday or something." Bonita's mother explained. "I know it would seem more just able for us to go with you but the people that work for the Darkness will know when they see us that we ourselves would have not been able to have children as we are made vampires, whilst you are all Lamia, strictly speaking."

"How do you know?" Elizabeth asked

"Because that's one of the things the witches told your real mothers, that even if they themselves were not Lamia, you all would be. don't know how that was just what they told them." Fleta's mother explained.

"as you have probably guessed, your last names are not your real ones." Elizabeth's mother said changing the subject slightly. "Bonita your real last name is Rasmussen, your parents were Lamia. Ciara your real last name is Quinn, your parents were made vampires. Lizzy your last name is Redfern, your parents are Lamia, actually the original and most powerful family. And Fleta your real last name is Descouedres, your parents were witches to begin with but then your mother was made into a vampire."

There was a slight silence as the girls took this in.

Ciara's mother broke the silence.

"Now girls you must go and pack and we will get you to the airport as soon as possible. We will book your flight don't worry you will get on the next available flight."

And with that all the parents rose and so did the girls and the all departed back home to pack.

****************************************************************************

They were all at the departures gate saying their goodbyes, with tears in nearly every eye.

"Now have a nice time"

"And take loads of photos"

"And be careful."

"But have fun."

All the parents were doing a marvellous performance.

Whilst the girls were giving their mothers on last hug each one whispered so quietly so only the girl they were hugging could hear, "When you get there seek out circle daybreak HQ. But be discreet."

Ciara's mother slipped Ciara a piece of paper. "It is directions to Circle Daybreak HQ. Ask for Thierry. He is the leader, and when they ask who you are tell them you are The Four. They will understand."

The girls gave them all one last look and waved and departed through to departures and then onto their gate. Knowing that this was probably the last time they would see the people that had brought them up all these years.

****************************************************************************

The girls arrived at the gate and sat down in a secluded and private corner and talked.

"I just can't believe this." Fleta said leaning into Bonita far a hug.

"I know it is all so weird." Ciara sighed.

"I am confused." Elizabeth put in.

"you always are." Ciara shot back at her.

"well that is true!" Elizabeth said light heartedly smiling.

All the girls started to cheer up.

"look at it this way. It is like a mini holiday." Bonita said.

"I wonder if there will be any talent?" Ciara thought out loud.

"Well it won't take you two long to cause a fuss!" Elizabeth declared.

All of them giggled at this.

"Look" Fleta said turning her head slightly. "They already have."

There was a group of nine lads looking at them. They looked like a football team.

Bonita looked at Ciara and Ciara looked back at Bonita, both smiling and thinking the same thing by the looks of it.

Elizabeth turned to Fleta and rolled her eyes. "here they go again."

"I feeling slightly thirsty." Bonita announced.

"Yeah me too actually." Ciara smiled. "I think I will go get something from the vender."

"That's a good idea. I will come with you" Bonita turned to the others, "Would you two like anything?"

"Just get on with it!" Elizabeth said.

"just get us some water thanks." Fleta said.

So Bonita and Ciara got up and flounced over to the vender, walking right past the group of lads, who were all watching with mouths hanging open.

Bonita and Ciara got four waters and bent down carefully. Ciara in her short skirt and Bonita in her tight designer jeans. This earned them an eye popping stare, and Fleta and Elizabeth trying to stifle hysterical laughs.

Bonita ran a hand through her short, curly dark brown hair and Ciara gave a toss of her long, straight glossy black hair. Both girls turned and looked right at the lads and gave them all their most dazzling smiles.

They strutted back to where the were sitting. And two of the lads came up to them a couple of seconds later and asked to sit down. They were soon followed by the rest of the team.

They spent a good half an hour talking when the announcement that the flight was now ready for boarding. The girls got up and went to line as there seat numbers had been called first. They were sitting in first class funnily enough and no one gave it a second thought.

The girls sat themselves down and got settled for the long journey across to America.
