Endurance

Claire POV

Marko and Dwayne played cat and mouse passing each other at lighting speeds until we arrived at the boardwalk. "I want a motorcycle." Jacey claimed as she slipped of the bike. "Too bad you already sold your soul to the devil." meaning this as a joke. "Yeah I could have wished for something better." Very much serious. "Jacey!" I was so shocked, even though she was a Satanist. She shrugged "He wanted to make me his queen too." Now she was teasing me.

"Want to get something to eat?" I took her arm anyway leading her to where I ate yesterday. I was craving a chocolate shake. "Sure, to what ever your craving." Giving me her wide grin. "Meet us a McDonalds." I gazed at David as we caught each others eyes. My heart rate sped up as he smirked hearing. Love you Claire his velvety voice flowed through my head as I turned away replying Love you more.

"We'll try again." Jacey words didn't comfort me something superior was making us stay apart. Was it a Goddess or a God trying to keep me from the evil temptation? The line moved and Jacey pulled me to be face to face with a overzealous teenage girl. "What can I get for you today?" her professional manner broke me out of my abstraction. "Umm.. A number three without the soda and a chocolate shake."

"The soda comes with the meal." confused at my decision. "I hate soda."

"Stop questioning her, she doesn't what the soda." Jacey firm tone advised the girl. The girl looked fearful for a minute at her job ability being slammed. Jacey smiled sweetly "I'll have the same." Jacey eyes flecked to her name tag "Bella." The girl couldn't even get out the cost of our meal she was shocked at Jacey and her darkening eyes.

I nudged her ribs, she leaned back and snickered. "Go save us a seat, with enough room for all of us." I handed Bella $10 and let her drop the change into my hand. I gave her a reassuring smile as I picked up our tray of food. Jacey was at the biggest table her lips were moving, communicating to someone. I slammed the tray on the table, making her aware that I was there. "Letting my crew know I'll be there in a few hours."

"Where you going? You just got here." I turned as people stared at Paul with his booming voice, the guys followed shortly after. I sat down at the end of the semi circle making Jacey move "You will miss me I know but I'll be back." She popped a couple fries into her mouth. Paul moved around the table to sit next to Jacey, he put his arm around Jacey hanging his arm on the back of the booth. Dwayne was the next to sit as Marko sauntered over enjoying stares like Bella's. David sat across from me the barrier activated as Jacey moved closer to me. "Weird having that go right threw me." I nodded. Paul in turn made his move closer. "Any closer Paul and your going to be on my lap." Jacey almost growled this. "I don't mind." leering. Poor Paul, Jacey wasn't his girl either. I sighed now playing with my food. I drank my shake so that David wouldn't stare at me in worry. His thoughts flowed though my head as my did in his. We talked like this until Jacey was done her food and mine.

"Bright Orange was the way to go." Jacey said proudly as we walked down the boardwalk as all types of looks came in our direction. "Ohh.. Claire those boys are feeling very aroused about your pretty pink hair."

"What are we going to do tonight." Changing the topic of arousal. Jacey grinned at me and David. Five feet away from each other. "We are planning to rescue you again." Marko mused as Paul who was beside him laughed. Dwayne paced behind them. Jacey was holding her own in the very front of us walking backwards. "You know I could have my group-"

"No." I didn't mean to be so harsh but I didn't need them around. "Just trying to help Snow White." They all chuckled, I could bet snow white would by my new nickname. "I know just don't need Abigail slaughtering me with her eyes again. "She's like that to everyone besides your going to need dark magic to bring that wall down." I mulled her words over. "Only If nothing else works."

"Anyways its Xavier you should watch out for." We ended up going to a concert for an hour then hit the beach to people watch, my favorite spectator sport. Our hair turned back to normal and Jacey left for Lily Bay. She made Paul fly backwards because he tried to hug her. I had to hold myself back from the laughter Paul landed on the sand "I love aggressive girls!"

"Later guys and I'll get your crystal, snow white." With a wink she was gone, like literally gone, like disappeared. "She used magic in full view." I shook my head in disbelief. "Well at least everyone's to drunk to remember or believe what they saw. Anyways I need to go to the store for a few things." We headed into a convenient store as I stole more candy bars and water. I saw Paul's favorite Beer as I peered over to the cashier fully occupied watching the boys in wariness, they got that feelings from people. Their predatorily manner made people instinctively keep away from them. I placed some wine coolers for me, half of the Bud Wiser in stock and a few other kinds of beers into my cubby. I left the store laughing as I told Paul what I got him. "Sweet, gonna get drunk tonight aren't we Claire!" shouting this.

"I need to tell you something, do you mind if we go back to the cave early." I had to tell them the truth. I was doing the spell the next morning. I also needed some of their vampire blood for the spell to work. I rode with Paul since I knew he felt all left out. I think he drove faster just so that I had to hold onto him tighter, the perverted vampire.

When they were in their places I began taking calming breaths as I prepared to tell them.

"I have been keeping something from you." their eyes were full of mixed emotions. "I said that in my visions I saw people getting hurt, I lied, I saw them die." No one smiled they just listened. "I was at Michael's house and I-" Enraged David roared "You went to that guys house."

"Yes, I went and make lunch for his family. I don't need to explain that to you." His eyes stayed infuriated but soften slightly. As tears filled my eyes he tried to come calm me but was pushed back. All he could do was comfort me with his thoughts. I love you Claire you are my life now.. You can tell us anything. I nodded, sorrow filled me as I continued "I saw Paul die in my first vision and then when I went downstairs.. I saw Dwayne die in another." I lowered my head letting the tears fall to the ground. Paul wrapped his arms around me since David couldn't. "Then all the going behind our backs with the book, and all the extra ingredients. That was you trying to save us." I nodded letting him pull me to my bed making me take a seat. "I can't let up three die.." I regretted putting this problem on them as well. "Who else dies?" this simple questions made me break down into sobs. "I'm being punished.. Paul, Dwayne.. Dav-" I couldn't say his name or look him in the eyes. I felt dizzy. I pulled my knees to my chin trying to bring myself under control.

"So Marko lives?" Paul making a joke out of it. I put on a weak smile. "I saw Michael as a vampire." David looked taken aback after I disclosed this. "How did you know that Max wanted-" I cut him off "You can't change him, he's not going to accept it."

"Okay I won't-" I heard his thoughts. "NO! Max cannot make you do that. Michael will kill you, I think he was about to kill Max." He nodded contemplating what I just said to him. "I need to talk to Max." I told him to go that he needed to reason with Max. I closed my eyes as David's final thought came to me If it's not already to late.. Before a forceful vision hit me so hard that I toppled to the floor holding my head as painful images spread out to my other senses.

Two boys maneuvered inside the tunnel as they came out in the room to look up. Shocked as they saw the boys hanging far above them. Climbing up as one acquired a stake from within his coat. His arm rushed forward as an immediate roar of pain followed and a body dropped from the ceiling. On the ground Marko's unbroken screams continued as fluids poured out of his chest.

"God, Oh God just stop this please just stop." My head in agony I curled up in a ball in the bed. Letting the world fall away..

Chances

"Awaken Snow White, rise and shine it's a new day and I have to baby-sit you," Jacey voice breezed into my head as I rose to rub my eyes. "I am not taking no for an answer, get up."

"Alright," pulling myself to standing position "Where are the guys?" panicking.

"Relax, it's sunny out and vampires do sleep during this time." mocking me. She had changed her clothes from the other day. She was wearing a cherry colored bikini top with black short shorts. Jacey was really pale, and noticed a faded scar on her stomach, stretching across both ribs and to her abdomen. A black tattoo was almost visible at the end of the scar.

She saw me looking at it "Courtesy of my bastard father." A jet black object was pressed into my hand. She softly spoke. "The black night crystal." My mouth opened at the sight of it in my hand. The dark energies memorized me. "We going to do the spell today?"

I nodded, "Wait no, we can't I didn't get vampire blood."

"No worries I knew the spell needed it so I asked David to give me some before I made him go to sleep."

"Jacey, your amazing." Simply giving her a one armed hug.

"Ewe.." urging me away me. "With all that gooey affectionate crap, please spare me."

"Fine." Retrieving my book, where I had left it. "I can't believe they thought I was plotting on them." rolling my eyes while thinking this.

"You are unpredictably Claire." Flipping through the book as I unearthed the ingredients and materials.

The set up took two hours; getting everything exactly right. Scanning the magic scene and rereading the instructions. "I think that candle is to far right they need to be evenly spaced out across the vicinity." Jacey used her power to move the candle left "That good."

"We are ready." I assembled my body on the black satin in front of the cauldron. Jacey was off to the side out of my area. "Remember muto fatum ingenero vos."

"I will. hush now. please." I couldn't be interrupted. The candles burned and the cauldron held my submission to cross over to another dimension.

Queso thee Deus of Atrum Fortuna Audite meus litania

Spero muto fatum ingenero vos

Permissum mihi modify posterus queso thee

Deus of Atrum Fortuna Audite meus litania

Translation English-

I beseech thee God of Dark Fate

Hear my supplication

I hope to change destiny

I implore you

Let me modify the future

I beseech thee God of Dark Fate

Hear my supplication

Fog rolled under my feet as the cave setting came into focus. "Stereotypical much." I couldn't see my bare feet as I moved forward. The dirt flooring was cold as I found myself disoriented. It all looked the same as I progressed deeper into the cave. Torches along the wall lit the way to a four way spilt, making me halt as each tunnel was identical. I peered down each one to get some idea to which was the correct route.

"Ok I need to go with blind faith." Hoping my magic would lead me. I stood back and closed my eyes and let my magic move my feet. I opened my eyes and found that I was no where near my original spot. I was being contained by iron bars in a medieval jail cell. I stepped back and heard a hairsplitting crack. I looked down and screamed, the remains of a human skull lay under my foot. I jumped back hitting the bars "This can't be real." I tired to make myself believe that but looking at the rest of the bones that was once a human being. A conversation crossed my thoughts The God of Dark Fate is mostly a mystery barely anyone comes back from his dimension. Jacey's words made me shudder.

"I might be stuck here.." I would be ensnared in another dimension, in this cell then someone would step on my bones.

"But they weren't as beautiful or as powerful as you are." a deep male voice called.

"So you will listen to my plea?" I turned searching for the origin of the voice.

"That depends what's in it for me." Rhyming nice, that's all I needed, a comedian God. I did still have to give him something in return but the book wasn't clear on what I should bring. I worded my response precisely "Name a gift to see if I am able to bless it upon you."

Hands clutched onto the bars in front on me "What are you willing to give up?"

"That depends." the man that stood before me took my breath away. His golden toned skin reflected his Egyptian heritage. He was wearing a white and gold wrap around his hips his bare chest gleamed from the firelight. A headdress of gold with dark rubies set into the sides rested on his head. His shadow like eyes stared at me with as his prefect set of teeth flashed.

"I.." what was I willing to give up.

"What is your plea?" He crooked his head sideways watching me absorbedly.

"I have four friends that are fated to die. I want to save them." watching his eyes turn away.

"Exquisite, that such a potent and pure being, wishes to save four measly vampires." his salty voice answered as he stepped away.

"I care for them. They have saved me-"

"Now it is the time to return the favor, correct?" his eyes darted back to mine.

"Yes. I owe them my life for what they-"

"Listen to my riddle, when you find it out, come back and give me your answer."

"What-"

"Dare to seek the truth that is deep within you. Your guise is the day. The day will turn out to be a past memory. If you accept. Leave your life behind and befall your own destiny as a superior being." His words floated away with him as the cell disappeared to find Jacey holding my head chanting something in Latin.

Tribute to the Sun

"You came back." Relieved. "I didn't want to explain to the boys I lost your in a higher plain. They would been in trouble if they tried to kill me." I tried to smile at her ego. "What did he say? Did you even see him. Is he even going to do it?"

"Hold on I can only handle so many questions." Putting my hands on her shoulders. "He gave me a riddle to solve first then I have to go back and tell him my answer."

"What's the riddle, it's not in Egyptian is it, because I would have to-"

"No he was pretty fluent in English. I want to figure it out myself if you don't mind." She shrugged

"Sure thing I will leave you to it but if David asks, I was here the whole time and I made sure you were alright and stuff."

"Check, here the whole time, got it." I helped her down the incline. She blew a kiss and winked at me before she vanished. "Witty little Satanists." I laughed to myself as I wandered the side of the ocean and took a seat.

I dissected his riddle "Dare to seek the truth that is deep within you." Something I was hiding from myself deep down.. Okay next "Your guise is the day." A guise is a… false outward appearance. The day is a cover for what I am hiding from myself.

"The day will turn out to be a past memory." When I find out my secret I will forget about the day. "If you accept." If I accept the sun will be only a memory. "Leave your life behind and befall your own destiny as a superior being." I have to forget my life and become something stronger? Superior being.. I clicked my tongue. I have to find out something that would make me forget the sun and become a superior being.

My eyes bulged out of my head. His choice of words potent and pure and his question of what would I be willing to give up. Cynical. Before I could.. his riddle and offering to him.. He would only change fate only if I gave up my humanity and became a vampire.

Tears fell from my eyes and hit the earth. The sun shined on my face.. I had to decide if the sun would always be or just a distant memory.

Pedestal

I rested my head between my knees, with only the waves in the background, the stillness of the world gave me peace. The sun was going down. I didn't know how long I sat there thinking about continuation of fate, life, and of death. Was I even doing the right thing? Could I give up my compassion and mercy? To become a killer? I was a white witch, I would have died for a stranger not even a week ago. Now I am deciding if I should kill; and to let be killed the many unknown faces of the future by the fours guys I swore to save. Was it right? No it really wasn't justified, was it.

I picked myself off the ground and went back into the cave. When they finally came out I hugged each of them. I was going to make one of the other boys hug David for me but he shook his head. How are you?

"I'm concerned." they looked apprehensive. "I went to the God of Dark Fate today.." a mixture of surprise, anger, and wonder was in each of their eyes. "I'm sorry for not warning you-"

"Jacey told us you were going to do it. I gave the blood to prove it." David reassured as I sat down on the sofa.

"He gave me a riddle to solve and he said that if I accepted it you would be saved." There was silence.

"What was the riddle?" Paul said as Marko nodded his head wanting to know it as well.

"He said. Dare to seek the truth that is deep within you. Your guise is the day. The day will turn out to be a past memory. If you accept. Leave your life behind and befall your own destiny as a superior being."

David was now deep in thought working the riddle out for himself as I listened to his reasoning for each line. "David." Making him look at me. "I have to become a vampire to save you."

"That's it." Paul said as he landed beside me, taking out a cigarette and lighting it up.

"No that's not it, Paul." My thoughts from earlier played in my bed.

"Claire I wouldn't ask you to do that for us." his soft voice made me smile. A single tear fell down my cheek.

"I know but it's the only way to save-" David's confession crossed his mind. "No please tell me that Max changed his mind."

He shook his head "He's wants Michael in the family by tomorrow night, and Sam the night after. I'm sorry Claire. I have-"

"Oh no you don't." My eyes darkening with Max on my mind. "You shouldn't do anything that he tells you David. Michael and Sam. You can't force that onto them."

He was sad. I knew now how it felt, not being able to comfort someone you loved. "Please don't do anything tonight. I will talk to Max when I get back."

"Where you going?" Marko asked me with his half smile.

"Saving you." I turned to recharge my magic scene.

"Claire you don't have to do-"

"I love you David. I knew the moment that I said it that I would have to become a vampire to be with you. That was what my secret is. If you want me to?"

His blue eyes buried into mine and my heart beat faster. He grinned. "I wanted you the moment I saw you. I want to be with you forever." I nodded.

I relit the candles and mixed more ingredients as a submission to go back to the dimension. "I'll see you in a few minutes then." I touched the wall between us. "I will be bringing this down." He smirked as naughty things went through his mind.

"Then you will finally-"

"Finish that sentence Paul and I will make you very displeased the rest of your eternal life." Paul finished his sentence being the witty ass vampire that he was. "I did warn you Paul." Raising my eyebrow at him as the others laughed. I lit the candles as I kneeled on the satin cloth. "I need complete serene and silence please." My eyes closed as I felt four pairs of eyes on me.

Queso thee Deus of Atrum Fortuna Audite meus litania

Spero muto fatum ingenero vos

Permissum mihi modify posterus queso thee

Deus of Atrum Fortuna Audite meus litania

The cave was back as I marched forward to the four way spilt. Okay here goes a examination that I need to pass.. I closed my eyes letting my magic lead me again. I prepared to be back in the cell but a palace flowed in instead. Egyptian statuettes were backed against massive sized walls. A canopy bed set in the middle of the room as satins of black and gold sheets and pillows invited me to take a seat.

"What a picturesque woman to be sitting on my bed. I wonder what you have to say to me." His form came in from the doorway his lean body was- shaking my head to get back on topic.

"I have come to discuss your proposition."

"And what had you come to hear." His effortless movement to the edge of the bed made me blink a couple times.

"The answer to your riddle. I have to become a vampire in order to save my friends-"

"A vampire. A measly vampire. My charming young woman you are meant for so much more then a common vampire."

"Then what did you-"

"A higher being, you would have to become part demon but that if very diminutive considering your potential as a Goddess."

"A..A.." I gulped. "Goddess?" I giggled, I couldn't suppress such a comical thought. Me a Goddess.

"Yes my sweet. A Goddess of the Shadows."

"So I need to become a Goddess-" laughing again "I mean me. Isn't that a little-"

"Extraordinary. Unexpected. Unforeseen. Remarkable." His words made me nod.

"I mean couldn't you find a better Goddess of the Shadows. I'm not-"

"You are prefect." his arms were now crossed.

"So what would being a Goddess of Shadows entail? Nights? Weekends? 9 to 5?"

His silky voice laughed "The title and all the powers of the dark."

"I could be a Goddess and still live a normal life." I thought about David and the guys. Maybe not normal.

"Yes a standard immortal life.."

Things charged through my head so fast I couldn't pin point one to consider. "I agree to your terms."

He moved forward as his hands took my face pulling me closer. "With all my providence, my love." I was settled into sheets as I drifted to worlds of imagination. I saw worlds full of beautiful creatures grazing in the meadows. I saw fins moving up and down as mermaids sunned themselves in untouched waters. I found peace in every dimension I visited. I woke to find my true love- unable to feel him against me, and was in hell. "David I need you.."

Path to Eternity

The God of Dark Fate POV

My enchanting dream had finally come to me at last; after centuries of wanting of waiting. I had her with me, yet let her go back to her vampires. I looked after her as she slept, the one they called David watched her with love in his eyes. I had foreseen this attraction and divided them. I needed him not to ruin my future queen chastity. Just like I did with her human lover. Yet how these vampires amused me so as I watched their hunts. I choose them to keep her safe so I could set up the images I would be placing into her mind. Making her see their fate and come to me.

My images hurt her as her magic and my magic combined giving her brain an agonizing time sorting out the sequence of events. Five thousand years ago I first saw her, a seer came to me seeking protection from her dark fate. Her gift to me was reading my future. She saw a female of great beauty and power coming to earth as a human in the twenty-first century.

I had set up events that lead her to the spell of time travel making her trail reposition to an alternative path. Leading her to Santa Carla to the four vampires and finally to me.

I heard her whisper her vampire's name. I didn't need him in my way of my desire. I would find ways to destroy all in my way to making Claire my dark queen, Goddess of the Shadows.

Soon enough she would be mine. I had waited five thousands years for her. A lone vampire was nothing when it came to getting what I wanted. My future Queen.. Now I would discover how much power you had.. My eyes darkened as I set into motion a way to rid the world of four more vampires…
