The Rise of the Darkness

6

"You've discovered your power? Cool!" Jade admired

"I can't believe you got out of there on your own!" Elizabeth blurted out.

"Gee Thanks!" Fleta replied sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that!" Elizabeth said, digging herself into a deeper hole.

 "Then how did you mean it?" Fleta questioned folding her arms.

Elizabeth opened her mouth to speak then closed it as she tried to think of something to say!

Ciara exchanged a glance with Bonita and they both sighed and rolled their eyes.

"I'm hungry. Anywhere we can get some blood?" Ciara asked.

"Do you want me to take you to my favourite place?" Quinn asked putting an arm around her.

"Yeah sounds great!"

"We will se you all later." Quinn said as he led Ciara out the room.

James turned to Bonita and Poppy. "Would my two favourite girls like to go out too?"

"Yeah" Bonita jumped at the chance.

"Not tonight, I'm not in the mood, you two go out and have fun." Poppy replied.

"Are you sure?" James questioned putting his arm around her waste.

"Yes I am now get going." She said pushing him and Bonita towards the door.

"Ok see you soon." James called over his shoulder.

"So would you care to join me?" Delos asked Elizabeth who nodded her head and replied "Yeah I want mine to be tall, blonde and handsome with a nice pair of buns…….." she trailed of staring dreamily at the ceiling and licking her lips.

"Stop talking about my buns!" Ash put in grinning, then looked over his shoulder to look at his bum and gave it a wiggle.

He received a squeeze off Mary-Lynnette and everyone was laughing at Ash's shocked face.

Mary-Lynnette was giggling and Ash smacked her bum and Mary-Lynnette ran out of the room. Ash looked at the others, wiggled his eyebrows and bum then bolted out the room chasing Mary-Lynnette up the stairs and the door shut with a bang.

Everyone was exchanging looks with each other.

"What about you sis?" Thierry asked Fleta.

"Well I don't really like hunting…" She replied quietly and slightly embarrassed.

"Wimp" Elizabeth called over her shoulder as she and Delos went out the door.

"Well let's go down to the kitchen and see what we can do." He said gently, taking her hand and led her down to the kitchen.

When they got down there Fleta sat down at the table and Thierry poured her a glass of blood and one for himself. And he sat down and they started to talk.

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

Quinn and Ciara walked out into the warm night and started talking. They were so deep in conversation that they didn't realise where their feet had taken them. They had found themselves at the local park that they had been at when Fleta had been kidnapped.

"Not much activity around here." Ciara murmured.

"No. how about we cut through and head towards the bars. There will be loads of people around." Quinn suggested.

"Yeah sure." Ciara replied taking his hand.

They were walking on past the silhouette trees and the black water of the 'Lake'.

Ciara suddenly stopped and turned towards the Willow tree next to the water.

Quinn turned to. Everything was quiet and still. There was no breeze and no movement.

There was a flash of something…to quick for the human eye but both Ciara and Quinn saw it.

Quinn took a few steps forward towards whatever it was….

"Quinn! NO!" Ciara shouted just as Quinn was jumped on by a black shadow.

Ciara didn't know what she was doing… all of a sudden she was overcome with anger and a need to help her brother and to kill the thing that had hurt him.

Quinn saw from underneath the Shadow that Ciara was glowing red.

 Ciara felt this surge through her and as if she knew what to do, she held her hands out in front of her as if she was holding something round… and in between her hands started to form a energy ball.

Ciara was burning with anger and crackling with electricity. She focused all this energy and it formed a glowing red fire ball that had blue electricity jumping through it.

Ciara threw this energy ball at the shadow and knocked it off Quinn and sent it flying ten feet away. But before it hit the ground it let out a scream and disappeared like when old vampires are staked and turn to dust.

Ciara rushed over to Quinn and hugged him.

"Are you alright? Are you alright?" She said in a startled voice hugging on to him tight. She was shaking with the shock and the energy.

"Yes, yes, I'm ok. Really I am." He said hugging her back. "You were amazing! Thank you."

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

James and Bonita soon wounded up in a night club.

According to a random girl who started to hit on James… this was the most popular club in the area. Everyone comes here.

James and Bonita soon found themselves in a dark corner with a couple of people who they had hypnotised and were drinking from.

After they had drank as much as they could they erased their victims' minds and went back onto the dance floor. They were both receiving a lot of attention, which is no real surprise. They were both teasing and tempting these gullible humans….

"Hi babe. Long time no see." A calm voice sounded behind her.

Bonita whirled to see Ben standing behind her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked more annoyed than anything else.

"I came to see you. I've missed you. I haven't stopped thinking about you since you left me." He said putting his hand on her waist.

"Look I told you, we are finished. We are not going out anymore!" She said pushing him off her.

"Will you at least come and have a chat?" He asked tilting his head towards the bar and took her by the arm and led her away from the mass of people.

James turned around to find Bonita gone. He saw the back of her head going through to the basement where the drink was kept. He could tell that she didn't want to go and pushed his way through to get to her.

Bonita found herself being dragged down to the basement. She pulled her hand free of Ben's strong hand and stood at the bottom of the stairs with her hand on her hip.

"What do you want?" She asked him. She was very irritated.

"I want to be with you." He said coming over to her and towering over her he put his arms around her and lent forward to kiss her.

Bonita pushed him back repulsed. "Get off me! Look don't you understand, We Are Not Going Out!"

"you don't mean that! You love me. You are just playing hard to get. I won't let anyone else have you!" he sneered.

"You want to know why I dumped you? Because you were being such a control freak! You were invading my life! And I won't tell you again. Now leave me alone!" Bonita turned to leave but Ben grabbed her by the arm.

"No I won't believe it!" He said pulling her towards him.

"Ben just go home and leave me alone!" Bonita half shouted.

"No I will nev…" Ben didn't get to finish as James came up behind him and knocked him out.

"Thank you James" Bonita fell into his arms.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

"Yeah. If you hadn't shown up I…" Bonita stopped and turned around.

"What is it?" James asked quietly.

"Stay behind me. We are not alone." Bonita placed herself in front of James and looked out into the dark cellar.

Something was giggling in a twisted and sick high pitched voice.

"Show yourself" Bonita hissed.

The giggling continued. "Four, four, four, four." Its squeaky voice chanted.

Bonita was braced ready for action.

"Four, four, four, four" The twisted voice carried on chanting.

Bonita was getting more and more agitated, she was overcome with protectiveness for her brother and disgust for the horrible voice.

"Four, four, four, four, will DIE!" it continued and lunged itself at Bonita.

Bonita saw it coming towards her this little creepy thing. She was angry and it was building up inside of her. She started to glow blue and with all this hatred and protectiveness building up she used it and held her hands up to face the charging thing and pushed.

Out shot a beam of blue ice with lightning surrounding it in a spiral. It hit the little thing and the thing froze in mid air before it shattered into pieces.

Bonita turned around to face James and fell into his arms again. She was completely drained of energy.

"I think we better get you home" James said pick his sister up and carrying her up the stairs.

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

Delos and Elizabeth were laughing about all of Elizabeth's silly things that she had done.

They were sitting in on a bench next to a bus stop and had just had their fill of blood from people passing by them.

"I don't know what it is but I feel I really strong bond." Delos told Elizabeth.

"I know what you mean." She replied cuddling to him. "I think you are my brother."

"well even if you aren't you are still a Redfern and that makes you family." Delos said stroking her hair.

They were staring out into the night just cuddling in and watching the world go by.

'mew'

Elizabeth thought she heard something…. She listened…. Nope, nothing.

'mew'

there it was again. Elizabeth turned around and saw a little, scrawny tabby kitten staring up at her with big Amber eyes.

"aw. Come here puss." Elizabeth said cooing, trying to get the kitten to come nearer.

"What are you doing?" Delos asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing?!" she retorted.

"Come here baby, come here…"

eventually after some slight hesitation the cat came over and Lizzy picked it up and started petting it.

"Aren't you just the most cutest thing? Yes you are! Yes you are!" Elizabeth said in a playful, baby voice.

Delos rolled his eyes but couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly for no particular reason the kitten jumped out of Lizzy's hands and ran off down the alleyway behind them.

Elizabeth jumped up and chased after it. "Where you going?" she called after the cat.

"Elizabeth where are u going?" Delos asked turning to see her run down the alleyway after the cat.

Elizabeth tripped and fell. she looked up and there was at the bottom of the alley a shadow coming towards her… she let out a scream.

Delos heard her scream and quickly jumped up and ran down the alley. He saw Elizabeth on the floor trying to get up and a shadow heading towards her. Delos threw a blast of electric blue fire towards the shadow but it didn't seem to harm him. The shadow looked at him and this black energy shot towards Delos, hit him and sent him flying back.

"DELOS!" Elizabeth screamed. She jumped to her feet and faced the shadow with utmost loathing for the thing which had just harmed a member of her family.

She felt a pulse of family honour and revenge swell through her. She closed her eyes and focused this. She felt her hands move out in front of her and as if they were holding something round like a big ball, she focused all her energy.

Delos stirred and saw that Elizabeth was glowing. A golden aura was surrounding her and forming in between her hands was a golden ball of energy which she threw at the shadow and it seemed to evaporate.

Elizabeth turned and ran to Delos. "Are you ok?" she asked helping him up.

"That was amazing." He said hugging her.

 Elizabeth giggled. "I've activated my power! We have to go back and tell everyone!" and they turned and fled into the night.

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

Ciara and Quinn were heading back through the park towards home when in the distance they saw a group of girls who had obviously been out clubbing.

"Looks like we will have something to eat after all." Quinn said rushing over to the girls who he started to chat up.

Ciara shock her head and started to head after him when she felt a burning in the back of her neck. She turned around and saw a crow sitting on one of the trees.

It was the biggest crow she had ever seen, plump and sleek, with rainbows shining in its black feathers. She could see every detail of it clearly: the greedy dark claws, the sharp beak. The single glittering black eye. It seemed to be staring at her…

She shook her head and started to walk away but she heard something like the rustle of feathers. She turned around and the crow was gone but leaning against the tree was a lad.

He came over to her and smiled in the moonlight, his black hair shone almost like liquid, to soft and fine for human hair. His face was very pale, but at the same time utterly compelling. And his eyes caught her own and held them.

"Hello." He said slightly amused, "I am Damon Salvatore."
