Reign of Darkness (complete)

*its fine*

Ryan~~

I was able to get out of the town but without a ride was forced to try to catch a ride. And i was relieved when someone did pick me up. I hoped into the mini van and saw it was almost full already. I crammed into the back seat with another. Who looked at me as if trying to find every feature of my face.
"why are you staring at me" i asked
The other answered. "cause i'm just making sure if i just saved your life, or if i was mistaken" He seemed to be satisfied and looked away. "i did"

"huh wat do you mean" i asked

"oh well a minute after we took you in you were about to be taken by the shadows" he said

"okay two things, one how do you know about the shadows and two what do you mean i was going to be taken by them" I asked

"because i have been attacked by them five times" he said. "and i can dream the future apparently, saw you in that spot us pass you by, then you sink into a shadow portal and about to be killed" And with that he put in his headphones and turned away done.

[[I'm sorry i have not posted PLEASe don't kiill maribelle ;~; I was at a friends house for three days! I wasn't aloud on the computer before i left, and there was no computer at her house! Goodness |: Okay I'm going to catch up and post now]]

**No problem.**

*Yay stolen hearts is back! Maribelle! XD*

Spencer~

The group finally found a motel. They all checked in. The girls all piled into one room, the guys into another. Spencer was with Gary, the boy from the gas-station, Damien, and one who was Gary's apparent step-brother. No one seemed to talk. The tension could be cut with a knife.

Gary had been explaining each detail of the attack by the shadows. Damien was sketching a picture he wouldn't let anyone see. He had headphones shoved into his ears, his face serene as he sketched each fine line. Spencer, though, sat on the edge of his cot, his hair disgruntled. He still hadn't showered. He had Cadence's blood staining the front of his jacket. He buried his face in his hands. He was so worried. He looked at the time. It had been two hours since they'd left Cadence in the Emergency Room.

Gary, however reluctantly, left out the details about Cadence. When he finished his story, all was silent. The only noise was the calm and smooth strokes on the paper as Damien sketched. "I hope Cadence is okay," Spencer said, working hard to keep his voice steady.

"Who's Cadence?" The knew guy asked. Spencer took a deep breath. He hoped he wouldn't burst out crying if he tried to explain... then he'd be a gay wimp. Or, at least they'd think he was one.

I hope I got Ryan okay. I didn't want to say much. And is Gary a bit better? Not as immature?

*Lol, glad someone missed me! : D ha ha ooh is Damien taken?*

Maribelle

We had all gotten into a hotel and settled in, I watched as the guys went into a room about 6 doors away from ours. There was too much tension I felt like i was being smacked in the face with the emotions. A groan escaped my lips, and a few of the girls looked at me.

"Sorry, my head hurts..." I sighed, going into the bathroom to change. After I had changed I went back into the room to find Raven in a corner of the room, Kelly sitting close to her, and everyone else doing something.

I sat myself in a corner of the room on the floor letting someone have the beds if they wanted, and pulled out my ipod. From all the stress a tear fled from my eye, I didn't even bother to wipe it away. I looked through my bag and found a piece of paper and began writing, with my creative juices flowing.

The song, "All the same by sick puppies" echoed through my head along with the thoughts of everyone. I could hear Spencer's thoughts even from this far.

What if she doesn't make it....what will i do? I just need to calm down. He seemed very edgy when the new guy had asked him about her.

How can he just talk as if nothings wrong!? No, no he's new just take it easy spence...

I wanted to try increasing my powers, so i attempted to send him thoughts. I wasn't sure it'd work but I wanted to try at least.

Spencer, it will be okay. I sent, using all my strength to push the thought through the multiple walls. I waited wondering if he had received it.

No, Damien isn't taken. But, good luck

Spencer~

Spencer nearly jumped when he heard Maribelle's voice in his head. She was telekenetic too?

Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right. But Damien... he seems so on edge. I feel like he knows something's wrong, and he's just not telling us.

Maribelle took a moment to answer. I'm sure he's just a bit shaken by the events, too, especially since he really trusted your Aunt Irene.

Spencer sighed. Yeah, you're probably right. I just really want to see Cadence, that's all. She seemed so mad at me today....

Spencer intended for the last part to be just to himself. But it seemed he no longer had any privacy. He picked up a wad of clothes and left to shower. He just didn't know what to do. He knew that Cadence needed someone... it just couldn't be him, he guessed.
- - -
I guess that's all I can say.

* just by the ryan is not gary's step bro, that's ballow, ryan is just some random dude no one knew before*

*Whoop okay! ha ha : D*

Maribelle

I thought about what Spence said about Damien, as he went to take a shower. My mind briefly looked to find Damien's thoughts, it was complicated because all the guys were thinking about SOMETHING. Finally i found him, He was working on a drawing.

He was thinking of what Cadence looked like when she was in the van, I gasped when i saw her. I needed to talk to this one.

Hello Damien. I said, trying to search his mind of more thoughts. I felt as if I slammed into a wall, I couldn't see anymore of his thoughts. A piercing pain was sent to my brain I almost choked in shock, it was a migraine.

Maribelle I'd like to be alone.He thought letting me see just that one. I suddenly felt very aware that he was mad, I stopped searching his brain.

I need to find out more about Damien. I thought to myself, my head contracting with pain. I got up and walked to the lobby to get some ice, taking the room key. When i got my ice I headed back to the room only to find Damien walking towards his as well.

The look he gave shouldve killed me on the spot, but it didn't...unfortunately. I sighed and went back into my room.

Great someone already hates me. I thought.

Kelly looked at me with question, I just smiled and told her it was my head. I found a rag, put the ice in it, and plopped it on my forehead. Finally I laid down on the floor with a blanket, letting my music lull me to sleep.

I hope this is okay I wanted to give myself a challenge...
Did i get Damien right??

*Damien isn't that mean, okay? His look might've been just a bit... quiet? I don't know. It wouldn't have looked made, but maybe troubled, or like he was really concentrated. I'm not writing too much about Damien, not for this post, but you can continue to include him.*

Spencer~

Spencer had no idea what to do with himself. With Cadence gone, he felt so lost, and none of the other guys seemed willing to socialize with him. Raven was always nice....

Without thinking, Spencer got up and left the room. He started down the hall, taking deep breaths to calm himself. "Oof!" Spencer gasped, as he smacked into something. He looked up. Raven was on the ground, rubbing her head.

"Hey, sorry," Spencer said, offering her a hand. She took it lightly, and Spencer pulled her to her feet. "Just the person I was looking for."

Raven seemed reluctant to even be around him, but she started to walk alongside Spencer. They paced the hallways, just talking. "So you're worried about Cadence, am I right?" Raven asked, looking at her feet.

Spencer gave a nod. "Yes," he chuckled wryly, "its not too hard to figure out, am I right? Its just you remind me of Cadence, in a sense. I guess you're the only girl I really trust. You're like a second sister to me!"

Raven nodded. She appeared to be in thought.
- - -
Cliche, I know, sorry.!

~Rei

**sorry Dx I was trying to make it seem like he just needed to be alone**

After I got rid of the guy I continued on my search of finding the idiot.
What was I going to do?
I took out this dream journal.
That's when I realized that he had powers.
Special ones...
Oh My Gosh...


g2g will post tommrow!
promise =]

I dropped off the girl when she wanted me to but when i saw her pull out the dream journal i ran out and almost tackled her to the ground trying to get it.

"where did you get that" i asked her eyeing the book.

"this guy who stole my car left it in there" she said

"so hes alive" i sad sighing and falling back. "gary's alive"

"wait you know the guy" she asked and looked like she was going to punch me.

"yeah, he is my step brother" i said. "he was on his way home from harvard when his plane crashed and we thought he died."

"wait, he goes to harvard, and was in a plane crash" she said.

"yeah" i said

She looked shocked. "yeah right"

**Wow! Technically, this is my first real post on this page! AAAAA!!!!
And OH. MY. GOSH. Who cares if it was a cliché? We’ve all been brainstorming never-been-done sci-fi. We actually NEED redundancy! But you made me have to figure out what she was thinking! Dang!!**


Raven

“Its just you remind me of Cadence, in a sense. I guess you're the only girl I really trust. You're like a second sister to me!" said Spencer as we walked down the hall. I didn’t say anything. There was too much on my mind.

I mean, the guy I lo-- Spencer just said that I was the only girl he trusts. And that I remind him a bit of his sister. And that I was like a second sister to him! It was just too much. Yeah, I could see we didn’t… share the exact same feelings for each other. But I had those feelings. The feelings that kill two birds with one stone. The ones that when you lose the person you have the feelings for you die on the inside. I couldn’t let them grow stronger. Not again.

“So… do you, um, have any friends back in England?” I asked, watching my feet. That wasn’t my real question, but I didn’t think that he would pick up on it.

“Some,” He replied. “Do you?”

“Kelly,” I said as I continued to watch my feet. I didn’t even look to see where we were going. “Everyone else thinks I’m weird.” He made an agreeing ‘Hm’.

---

Making up conversations isn’t really my thing. And I kinda thought that Raven forgets and yells at herself AFTER hanging out with Spence’. That’s why she’s sort of lost it here.

Ah, okay. Well, let's make it awkward, to break the conversation, shall we?

Spencer~

Spencer just clued in. "Oh, wait! I don't me 'hm' as in 'you're weird' but I mean 'hm' as in 'oh'. And I meant to say, 'do you have any friends.' I guess the question was kind of like asking if you've been to England before..."

Spencer rubbed the back of his hair with his hand. He was so weary. "Well... I'm uh, just going to run out an get some advil. I have a headache..."

"Okay," Raven mumbled, and started back to her room. Though her back was turned, Spencer still lifted his hand to wave. Once her back disappeared behind the corner, he sunk down the wall. He didn't really have a headache. He was so lost without Cadence. So lost. He closed his eyes, and heaved out a sigh. He just felt like something was wrong.

(A/N: I've never added this in my profile, but this is spontaneous. Okay? Just pay attention and read. I hope its all right that I'm doing this!)

Damien~

Damien sketched the broken yet serene drawing of Cadence. He dropped the pencil, not finished. He dropped into the darkness that happened always when a ghost was contacting him. His head began to bob. "Are you okay man?" Gary asked, shaking Damien's shoulder. Damien jerked back into present time, and threw his sketch book onto the couch that he'd been sitting on a moment ago.

Gary jumped out of the way. "Hey man!" He shielded his face. "Don't over react so quickly!"

But Damien was already bounding past Gary and Ryan. He was out the door in a flash, no shoes on his feet, no jacket. He continued running down the hall. All he could see was the thing that he least wanted to.

He skidded around the corner, and jumped over a figure that was slumped against the wall. He slid down the railing of the stairs and pushed open the door. He ran down the street, ignoring the stabbing pain that was shooting through his feet like glass stabbing into open skin.

He ran until he reached the hospital. Then he pushed open the door of the ER and bounded past the nurses. "You need to come back sir!" One called after him. Another reached to grab his arm. He was too fast. He slipped through their grasps like a fish.

He reached Cadence's room and barged in. The light was flickering, and her _________ (What's the heart metre called?) was beating barely. There was no beacon of hope at the end of the tunnel. But that wasn't what had sent Damien running. He knew of the prescence trying to invade Cadence's body. She was medium, now. She was teetering on the edge of the living and the dead, as was he.

He knew the spirit was trying to take her body, and use her as a host. He knew it because he'd heard Cadence in his head, banishing it. Damien went and shook Cadence's arm. A nurse and doctor burst in. "We're going to have to call the police!" the doctor boomed.

Damien held out a hand, stopping them. "I-- I can see ghosts," Damien whispered. "And she can, now, too. One is trying to take here--"

Then it occoured to Damien. Were the shadow even actually dead or living? Were they mediums, like him. Was one trying to take her body? A nurse moved in and began pressing her hands into Cadence's chest. Her heart began beating faster. It had stopped.

As the heart fluttered back away, so did Cadence's eye lids. But she looked disturbed. Clearly disturbed. "Where is Spencer?" She demanded.

I know its weird... sorry. I'm just really getting into this, I guess. Building personality, plot. You should really try it sometime!

**Okay I'm super bored and i'm in a writing fetish kind of moods! I'm gonna write!**

Maribelle

I woke in a sweat, I had just had a terrible dream. A chill ran down my spine making me tremble, I sped to the bathroom. My reflection looked horrid, my brown hair was sticking to me, I pulled it into a messy bun. I needed to take a walk, nothing else mattered as i buried myself in thoughts.

Quietly as I could I opened the door and slipped out, walking in a daze. Tears broke out as I thought of the nightmare, all was blurry.

My nightmare had been about my father dying. He was laying on the hospital bed, his face sunken in, breathing heavily.

"You'll make it daddy." I choked out gripping his cold hands. He had moved his hand to brush my cheek, I put my hand on his.

"Don't cry Sweetie." He shushed as the tears came. I held his hand there for who knows how long, finally his head fell limply as did his hand. I bowed my head over his dead body and cried, feeling as if a part of me was gone.

The nurses tried pulling me off of him, but I ignored them. I wanted my dad. I couldn't survive on my own.

That's when i woke up. I slid down the hall way's wall and wrapped my arms around my knees, letting it out. After a while Damien came running out of his room, I wiped my tears and ran after him curiously.

He went to the hospital and pushed back all the people that tried to stop him, I just watched. Everybody was too wrapped up in catching him to notice I was there as well.

Cadence was now up she had just asked where Spencer was, but her aura was filled with irritation. Something clearly had disturbed her badly. I waited outside the room watching Damien closely, his emotions were anxious, and scared.

Finally I walked in looking from Cadence to Damien.

"Spencer's at the hotel, he's been worrying about you this entire time!" I reassured her, adding, "Are you okay Cadence?"

Damien looked at me questioningly, he must have been wondering why i was here. I looked another way to avoid his staring.
