Not Fade Away
Claire POV
I was sick when I reappeared at the cave to cast the spell to travel to his dimension. I breathed trying to endure what was to come. I was doing the right thing and when I was a Goddess I would find him someone to be with. I kneeled on the black satin ready to claim my destiny whatever it happened to be. "I hope you aren't giving up! You haven't even started to fight!" Two girls stood in front of me giving me a strange feeling of hope. "Claire Elizabeth Swift you need some encouragement and maybe a hug."
"Stop it Lalasa she doesn't need a hug she needs to get some fight in her." The girl, Lalasa shrugged "Just thought she needed some affection. "Keep the fluff, now Claire, we have to talk so get yourself up and come over here."
"Aurora, you can be a little nicer." I got to my feet. "Claire Bear you are such a picture but we really do need to talk to you so chop chop." I almost laughed at the overly sweet girl in front of me. "What are going to say to me?" They had to be working for him.
"We're here to protect you silly." Lalasa came to take my hand and led me to my bed "You should sit down." I sat and waited for the lecture. "We have made a time fold so he will not be able to see what we are doing. Listen, don't be afraid of us Claire. The God of Dark Fate has broken the rules and now we are cleaning up to get the order of things to return to normal." I nodded then almost shouted "No. They are not dying."
"Claire that's the way it is suppose to be.. changing fate is not some uncomplicated thing to do there repercussions to what you did. Don't you understand? They are vampires and they kill people for entertainment."
"No I don't need you if their still going to die."
"Stop being stubborn Claire you won't ever see them again anyway; when you are the mate of the Dark God."
"They still will get to live." I wasn't going to give up all my efforts just to see them die.
"Claire, we understand that you care for them but you must know that you were never suppose to be here to save them. They are meant to die."
"They're not even alive as it is." Lalasa gave her a dirty look for this.
"We didn't do this right. Claire, first off we need to stop his spell that's keeping the sun and second we need him to break the contract."
"No, I'm not letting them die."
"Claire-"
"No!"
"I can see this is going to be easy on any side. We will come to you later with a better plan maybe we can save-"
"Good then I will see you when you do."
"Just promise us you won't go see him." I nodded and they vanished. I heard their bikes in the distance and hurried to clean up my magic scene.
Innovation of Memories
"You're here!" Paul immediately went in for a Paul hug when I held up my hand. "Doesn't change much.. I'm sorry but there is now some hope.." He hang back with a frown replacing his delightful mood.
"Claire why did you just run off on us." Marko question made me feel guilty.
"There wasn't any other way."
"Yet there is now?"
"Yes, I have some.. people willing to help me."
"Jacey and them?"
"Not them.."
"Then who?" Dwayne
"Two Goddesses came to see me. I was about to go to him but they told me they were fighting for me. The dark god, he's in big trouble with them something about changing fate to his advantage to get me here."
"They want the world set back into order.. for us to die." David picked my brain.
"Yes they do but their going to try to make an exception.."
"What if they don't?" Marko
"Then I told then that I didn't need then."
"Claire-"
"No David I will not have you die like that.." I knew as I replayed Paul's death that David saw it as well. He looked at Paul fearful for his brother life. "I'll find a way to bend the rule even if I have to side with him rather than them." I didn't want to talk about this anymore.
"We will talk about this Claire. You can't just leave us out of it."
"I don't even know what I'm talking about I have.. God please.. Just let me have time to think about it before we all talk." My plea made him a little guilty.
"I'm sorry of course."
"Now I think we should be outside and causing unruliness and much chaos." I stated making them cheer as their unclear destiny faded to the background. "Dwayne.." He was on his bike, putting my hand on his shoulder. He smiled slightly, scooting forward. I slid on and we were about to ride off when I heard voice coming from the darkness. I looked around and saw that the guys didn't seem to notice the intonation. "Did you hear that?" I shrugged it off when they all replied no with baffled looks.
The boardwalk was jam-packed as hangovers wore off and the night goers woke up to the excitement of no daylight. The bonfires were scattered across the beach as punks danced and chanted, the end was finally near. Crowned as it was people were still jamming themselves into every space along the boardwalk and I saw many shift to let through the five people that moved in side by side. The only word that came to mind was devastating their black auras made people react in a get out of their way like if they didn't bad things would happen.
"Hi Claire." Jacey smile bounced from me to Dwayne who was standing right being me. "I can do that spell if you want." I nodded letting my eyes find David. Who turned to meet my gaze and then I couldn't recall why I looked in that direction.
Faith, Hope, and Trick
I couldn't.. what was I? I finally looked up to find the male voice and found unfamiliar blue eyes five feet away. "Claire are you okay did you have another vision your thoughts-"
"Excuse me but your making no sense." Who was this guy? I turned to find a group of people staring at me. "Claire are you like sane?" A curly light haired girl, I haven't never seen before was questioning my sanity. I was always a patient person but this was past infuriating.
"Don't want to be rude but I don't want to talk about myself right now and yes I am quite sane." I moved to be past them being done with them. "Wait Claire!" Feet stampeded behind me. "You don't know who we are?" She wasn't giving up her little stunt.
"Listen I have never seen you before so would you please I have to get home."
"And where is home?" The girl stated as I paused mid step. Home.. I searched for this knowledge in my head. " I live with my boyfriend." The blue eyed guy sighed. Okay that was creepy. "Now I have to go meet up with him so we can go home." I put an epitasis on home. "Claire your boyfriend-" She didn't finishes her sentence as light swept the area. Four of the guys ran for the cover of the shade as I smiled.
"Claire, we are your friends let me prove it to you." The girl begged. Something told me to depart, to run away to find.. I nodded as the girl took my hand. The others trailed behind us. The four guys hide under an archway of a restaurant. Why would I hang out with these people? "David your hand now." Urgently, the guy David thrust his hand into hers. And Latin words spilled from her lips.
Niger Miles militis vestri vox est optimus.
Tribuo meus votum take down is obex ut thread inter duos EGO iungo.
English translation-
Black Knight your power is noble.
Grant my wish take down this barrier that thread between the two I connect.
She said these words three times. I wasn't seeing the whole 'proving it' until the pressure I felt was released and I fell forward into the girl. "What was that?" I pulled away for the two of them.
"David you have to prove-" The guy took control of my hands and drew me forward as his lips swept across mine. Something inside me disproved as he stumbled back into the sun and caught fire. I reacted in an instant as unfamiliar power formed and my eyes went black and the darkness returned. People screamed as I rushed forward to find David on the ground. His skin was smoldering as I took a hold of him "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Claire.." Mumbling through the pain I had caused.
"I'm sorry I don't know what made me.." The three guys dashed over helping him to his feet. "Is he going to be okay."
"Claire?" The curly haired one asked "What's wrong with you."
"I. I. I need to go." My foot steps quicken as some of the group followed me, I flashed to the way in and disappeared.
"Claire, my love you are finally home." The man held his hand out to me.
"Yeah I guess I am." Taking his hand to be towed forward to be held tightly. I felt him kiss the top of my head and then whisper "I love you my exquisite Queen." I titled my head up to see his dark eyes look into mine. As he pressed his lips against mine I shivered "You are forever mine.." I let him pull me to the bed in the middle of the room.
