Abby: Good Idea I will be using your God of Love and Music in my story. He will be using his nickname 'Eddie. He will be one of the many Gods on Claire's side. Like Jenny's God of the Ocean. But Zeith the Vampire Ruler's God of Death will be neutral.

I dedicate this chapter to these three amazing readers.

Claire POV

"Where are Dwayne and Marko?" I hadn't seen them yet.

"They are caught in the forest.." Even with knowing their safety he was still worried about them being away from the cave and in the promise of unforgiving daylight. With the most passionate kiss I could muster I bid David a good day's rest with the reassurance that I would find Paul and Marko and bring them home, he drifted down the tunnel. I shut my eyes.. the shadows were my domain. I found them in seconds and without effort I phrased to stand in front of them.

"Miss me?" Letting my lean body stand straight and with my feet in a wide stance. My arms were folded behind my back, my left hand on my right wrist.

"Claire, what are you wearing?"

"My outfit, it came with the new calling." I threw myself at both of them, dragging them close for a hug that would have made Paul proud. "I missed you even though it was been two hours."

"It been almost two days since you left Claire." Marko alleged, still imprisoned in my hug.

I let them go. "But I couldn't have been gone that long I was their for 30 minutes at most." Dimensions have different time rates I suddenly realized. David was hurting for almost two days before I.. I become guilt-ridden it was worse then I had thought.

"David will be okay." Dwayne gave me a small smile.

"What happened to you?" I took their hands. I would answer Marko's question at the cave.

"I am now the Goddess of the Shadows. We can talk more when you wake up." I got hugs from each of them.

"I'm glad your back." I kissed Marko's cheek, squeezing him I replied "Me too."

"Dwayne is it true that you and Jacey are true loves" I heard David think about this before he went to sleep.

"Yeah." I smiled sweetly holding him and then kissed his cheek.

"Love you guys." I phrased to the factory having to explain to Jacey and her group what had happened. Only Ace and Xavier where their in the corner spreading red lines on the floor. The red appeared too much like blood. They were preparing for another dark spell.

"Where's Jacey?" They turned. Xavier set down his paint brush and came to me answering.

"Eating they will be back soon."

"Why didn't you go?" I didn't know why I asked this. I didn't really care.

"Things to do." His piecing eyes traced down my figure, making me shiver. "With your new look you ascended." I nodded, unable to speak. "Guess you don't need our help anymore." I sensed that he wanted me to leave and not come back.

"I have to talk to Jacey." I wasn't going to leave just because some wannabe told me too. I gasped to myself, my tone was chilling. I had never thought anyone was.. below me. That was the goddess side thinking. "I'll wait for them to come back." He nodded this time, the authority in my nature now would not be questioned or augured. I watched them repaint the pentagon. Ace brushed the hair off his sweaty forward and gazed at me until Xavier barked hurry up and finish your half.

"Claire your back and wearing a really sinful costume."

I stood, defending myself "It's not a costume Jacey."

"I was kidding. So your all royal with the being a higher being now huh."

"Yeah bow, you have to bow to me.." I teased

"And feed you peeled grapes." Skylar put in, making everyone snicker in some degree.

"Instead of worshipping me. I was hoping that you would help me with a protection spell to place around the cave. The most powerful one is you please."

"He's still not giving you up?" Abigail said back to, inspecting the boys work.

"No."

"Sure, I might have a couple spells to satisfy the needs of a higher being." Mocking me. Good thing we were now friends or I wouldn't have put up with it.

"Anything would be helpful."

Jacey took out the thinnest book I have ever seen from under all her books, it must have been ten pages at most.

"This is some dark protection spells. I haven't used any of them but they should do the trick to safeguard the guys and inside the cave. She told me what we needed to get for the spell and I phased out and into the occult store. Callie who was holding a bag of herbs soared back into counter.

"Don't do that again. You could have been seen or gave me a heart attack or something." She unloaded her merchandise onto the all ready crowed table. "I know we are too late with stopping you from becoming a Goddess but we have found out how to save you from becoming the mate of the Dark God."

"How?"

"There are over fifty Gods and Goddess setting up a confrontation with him. His father warned him not to go threw with his plan but Keeran didn't listen. Keeran has gone underground, a lot of beings want him overthrown. They want his powers stripped and for him to live a short life as a mortal. His father is Rye, God of Rule and Order and has no choice but to severely punish Keeran for his disobeying."

"First, I need some things for a protection spell. Where's Addison?"

"Get what you need. She tells me for a walk." I picked up the three ingredients and was yanked into the back room by Callie, having already closed the shop. I took her hand as we phrased out and into the factory.

"Who is the stray." I felt anger at Xavier. Their was just this evil in him. I couldn't vision a more a cold hearted person.

"She's a friend." I tried to be polite but it didn't work. He grinned.

"Xavier and Ace why don't you get some food. We can handle this spell." When they left, a relief spread threw me. "He's not that bad He just plays the part, you have to get to know him that's all." I nodded. No way would I want to get to know a Satan Worshiper like him. Jacey felt the dislike and just let it go.

"Sky, I forgot you didn't eat.. just bring the food back here." Skylar left without a reply.

"What's her deal, ever since we met up with her earlier she's been quiet." Abby stated as she lit the candles. The magic scene was set. "All we have to do is be specific about what we want and he will give us something that will activate the protection barrier." I sighed, more barriers.. "At least it's not between you two again." Smirking "I should do the spell."

"Sure." I shrugged, not caring.

Skylar exploded threw the door. "They are. They are…" Torrents of tears fell down her face. "Deceivers, going behind our backs all this time." Abigail was supporting her weight. She had collapsed. We carried Skylar to the couch and found the truth within a web of lies.
