A/N: Here I am again with another chapter for you all. It actually jumps forward about a month from the last chapter but I didn't want to bore my readers with stupid stuff.

Thanks to all reviewers who all totally kick ass.

Chapter 8- The Crystal Ball

Lyndsay had had numerous fits since she was released from hospital. They had diagnosed her an epileptic. She was extremely annoyed and thought about possessing the doctors but Marcus had told her not too.

Anita's disappearance had sparked many parents' fears and they were more cautious of their children. Most of the teens at Whitecross high groaned exceptionally about this. Most not being able to go out without some sort of guardian with them.

"My parents want to come with us shopping" Tegan groaned as her, Lyndsay and Tegan walked down the hall.

"Your mum isn't that bad" Keisha pointed out.

"I know but it just feels weird" Tegan said.

"My mum's being extra cautious with me because of the whole 'epileptic' thing." Lyndsay explained. It was becoming extremely frustrating. Carlie, Jess, Nathan and her had been trying to figure out who had taken Anita but with no success. They had crystal scoped for her but it said she was at her house which they knew was wrong. Something was interfering with the magic and they couldn't figure out what.

"She'll lighten up Lynds" Keisha assured.

"LYNDSAY!" A whiny voice called. Lyndsay tried not to roll her eyes. It was Mallory. Another thing that was grating on Lyndsay's nerves. Mallory was always trying to butt in and didn't seem to take a hint when trying to get rid of her.

"Do you have English now?" Mallory asked.

"You know she does" Keisha rolled her eyes.

Mallory ignored her. "So you wanna walk to class with me?"

Lyndsay forced a smile and said "Yeah sure. I got to get something out of my locker okay?" Mallory followed Lyndsay to her locker where Nathan appeared beside her breathless from running.

"I.....was talking to Marcus" Nathan wheezed. "And I figured something out"

Lyndsay looked at Mallory and smiled. She concentrated and made her way into Mallory's mind. She made Mallory run up the other end of the hall and then Lyndsay returned to her own body and asked "What did you find out Nathan?"

Nathan shook his head. "I—I can't remember"

Divination was always an interesting lesson. Professor Trelawney was always on Carlie's back asking her about any recent visions or dreams. They had just started crystal ball reading and Lee was joking around.

"I foresee that there will be lots of clouds tonight" Lee said in his fake seer voice.

George, Carlie and Fred giggled which attracted Professor Trelawney.

"What do you see my dears?" She asked in her misty voice.

"I can see lots of cloud" Lee said proudly.

"What about you Carlie?" She asked.

Carlie looked deeply into the crystal ball and expected to see nothing. The cloud inside began to swirl and she gasped.

"What can you see?" Professor Trelawney was right on her back.

"I—I—"Carlie stammered. She'd just seen Pete comforting his mother with Anita standing in front of them screaming.

"Yes" The whole class was looking at her now. She couldn't say Anita. So she said the first thing that came out of her mouth.

"I saw my dad" She announced. Some of the class laughed and asked why was that shocking? Other members of the class explained that Carlie had never met her dad.

"Where was he?" Professor Trelawney asked, her large eyes looking deeply at Carlie.

"Someplace dark" Carlie answered. She didn't know how true that was. Azkaban could have been extremely bright for all she knew but Trelawney seemed to buy it.

"Oh yes. I know who your father is. It's very dark where he is now" She announced in a very misty voice.

Carlie knew right then she had to do something. "Professor Trelawney, can I please go to the hospital wing. I don't feel too good"

"Oh yes dear. Seeing something like that will scare anyone" Carlie quickly grabbed her bag and slid down the ladder.

Carlie was shaking her head. Anita was standing in front of Pete and his mother screaming. Was that possible? Over the past few months Carlie thought anything was possible.

/HEY EVERYONE! Get you butts out of class and over to the house! / Carlie messaged them all. She wasn't supposed to use telepathy but this was important.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm her nerves and orbed to the house.

It was amazing how the 'I'm not feeling well' excuse worked to get Nathan, Jess and Lyndsay out of class. Not sure of what was going on, they just orbed to the house. No questions asked.

Carlie was already there with the book of shadows opened flicking through it angrily.

"Carlie what's going on?" Jess asked as soon as he saw her.

"I was in divination and I saw in the crystal ball Anita screaming in front Pete and his mum. They didn't even notice her" Carlie said very quickly.

"Wow. Heavy stuff" Jess remarked.

Lyndsay and Nathan arrived at the same time and asked simultaneously "What's going on?"

Carlie repeated the story of the crystal ball to Lyndsay and Nathan.

"So have you checked the book?" Lyndsay asked.

Carlie snapped the book shut and got up. "It's so hard to find anything in that thing!"

"We should contact Marcus" Jess recommended.

As the four of them began to walk away the book of shadows flew opened. All four stopped dead and turned around. The book had opened on a certain page. Lyndsay, Jess, Carlie and Nathan all looked at each other before walking forward and looking at the page it had opened to. After a few seconds they all gasped. They had found the answer they were looking for.

Ohhhhhhhhhh! A cliffie. Bet you're all going to be dying to find out what the answer is. (I'm joking of course. I assume you have better things to do with your life then wonder about the answer)
