Dark Visions

Arthur Jameston

I knew that the Family Incantus might set me to the point where I couldn't move a muscle while I recover from the spell of protection, but I knew it has to be done. I was doing this for my friends, true love, and recently-deceased Nanna. I made the recovery potion and set it on my bedside, knowing someone might find it and give it to me once the person saw me. For now, I was on my own. I left Isis in Nila's care.
After I opened the Family Incantus, I yelled, "Mother Goddess, I am Arthur Bloodstone Jameston, son of Amethyst Topaz! I now own the Famliy Incantus and now ask You to show me the end of my training! Help me become a full Topaz witch! I ask You for protection from all evil that opposes You and my friends who I now have as my brothers and sisters! Keep us safe from all evil, for I know who's grandson I am!" I passed out after shutting the Incantus.

"Heh, yea thats me my music is the thing that always helped me cope when i was an orphan and no one could help me and it seemed like nothing could help until i taught myself to play the guitar" I said hugging her tightly. "I'm glad someone notices me at least."

Cataluna Zara
I hugged him back surprised at myself usually I would have pushed him away and told him to keep his hands off of me but he made me feel like me. He made me feel bold and brave and lovely things I haven't felt in a long time. He also saw me he saw past the mask I put on and I did the same for him. He also smelled good like the forest and rain which was just a bonus.

I walked deeper into the graveyard. Something was pulling father from our camp site. Leaves danced in the morning breeze."What im I doing?" I said outloud.The others might be looking for me and I need to help anyway I can.I Broke into a run trying to get back.

Nila

Meow. Meow. Meow. I sat up, looking around blearily. Isis was standing on my chest, looking at me with those bright eyes. My heart started singing, for a while I didn't know why, but then I did. Arthur would have never left Isis! He didn't leave me! I started petting Isis, looking at her beautiful coat. She climbed onto my shoulder putting her face close to my ear.
"Arthur's in trouble."
I jumped and lifted her off my shoulder. "Did you just talk?"
She nodded, and said "We have to hurry. Follow me!"
I stood up, and followed her out of the grove. "Put your hand on my back," she instructed.
I did, and felt the fur lace around my fingers, and felt myself become nothing.

I was standing in a room. There was a bed, and side table. And on the bed... Was Arthur.

I ran and knelt beside him, looking into his face. "The bottle," Isis whispered, jumping onto the beside table. I grabbed it, unstoppering it and poured it down his throat.

He sat up, spluttering and choked out "Nila!"
I looked at him, and said, "What happened?"
He ignored me, and grabbed me around the waist and pulled me close. "Arthur, what happened?" I said into his shoulder.
"I was trying to save us all. It drained me,"
I didn't say anything. "I thought you had left me."
"Why?" he sounded guilty.
"My parents, my big brother, my aunts and my uncles... they all lef-" I burst into tears, much to my embarrassment.

He didn't say a word. He just held me till I was done. Then he stood up, and petted Isis.
"We better go." He grabbed the book that was lying on the floor, grabbed my hand, and led me out of the room...

Arthur Jameston
Nanna's house

"I had no other choice but to pursue the Family Incantus since Nanna had just now passed away," I said as we sat before the hearth, the Family Incantus shut on my lap and Isis sitting sphinx-like next to me. "According to Nanna before I left for the Institute, the Family Incantus was my inheritence from her once she left to join the Goddess. My family never trusted outside people with our secrets, hence the reason I spent my childhood here."
Isis added, "And most of my kitten-hood. This place is home to Arthur and me. The both of us lived our lives on secrecy, hence why the Institute people don't know exactly where Arthur really lived."
Nila stared at the Incantus as Isis and I talked.
I said, "This is, in its own way, the family record that dates back to the life of Morgana la Fey, the first family witch. Yes she was evil, but the Topaz family became good after Morgana's daughter resisted her mother's evil ways."

Nila
"Okay." I said after Arthur had explained everthing to me. His hand slipped into mine, and we stood up at the same time.
"You know I would never leave you right?"
I nodded, my eyes swiming with tears. "Don't cry sweet."
"I won't I'm over that."
"Listen, I'll be all the family you'll ever need."
I nodded, to overcome to speak.
"Okay then. Lets go."

And we walked out of the manor and into the sun light...

Arthur Jameston

I opened the Incantus and murmured a little spell. I watched the vines around the manor scurry around until the manor itself was completely hidden. "That'll keep the intruders away in case we decide to go back," I said calmly. "But, just in case they get any ideas..." I murmured another spell and the vines turned into poison ivy.
Isis said, "I understand that you're enjoying yourself as a full witch, Master Arthur, but I think we better get back to camp before the others find out you left. Not to mention I've wasted my teleportation power last night."
I said, "Isis, quit whining." Taking Nila by the hand and holding the Incantus in the other hand- clipped shut so none of the pages would escape- with a smile on my face, I made the three of us invisible and slunk as back to camp. We weren't missed, but Nefertiti was mewing when she smelled Isis. Nefertiti was the only one who missed us.

Zytren Syrosha
"Its nice to see your still the same you and not trying to be a faker like the rest of the world is. Its sad to watch the world go downhill like it is right now no matter what seems to happen its always like that and at the same time it seems nothing will change," I said starng at the forest, "Hopefully i wont lose the place i love to be at and where i live to live in a place filled of construction and factories that has always been toture to me." I looked at her and then lokoed at the camp. "How 'bout we get back to camp?"

Cataluna Zara
I smiled in reply and grabbed his hand intertwining our fingers as we walked back to camp. I smiled as Nila, Arthur, and Isis came back to camp from where I don't know. "Well looks like you made a new friend." Nila said. I turned bright red in reply.

Zytren Syrosha
I looked around at everyone putting my other hand in my pocket not saying anything to shy, from never being near anyone. I looked at Cataluna and smiled as I saw her blush and kissed her cheek. "Your even cuter when you blush, who knew" I sad laughing a bit and from look on her face i could see she was frustrated at me.

Cataluna Zara
I whacked Zyrten in the arm which just made him laugh even more. "Must you do that?" I snapped irritated. "Yes, yes I must." He said still chuckling. I sighed and gave him a glare but then I chuckled with him.

Jake

I walked back into camp.I hadnt been missed ,luna had brought back a friend who goes by the name zytren. They looked like they where minutes from kissing. I walked over to Arthur,"So when do when leave?" I asked. he looked at me with hard eyes."Soon" he replied.Then he got a far off look in his eyes."We will leave tonight" he said when he focused back on me.."Gather the other.We have to come up with a plan." Just then Nila walked over and they joined hand.

Ashe Breaker:

The institute looked strange through the eyes of a wolf. Rage had been the key to a full transformation, and now that he had fully come into his powers Ashe had no intention of waiting for the enemy to come to them. He glanced behind him at Azure and couldn't help but be happy she was there. Ashe had tried to talk her into going back and warning the others but she had insisted on coming with him. The two of them had settled for a note explaining what they were doing and warning the others of an attack.

Ashe had known they were busted the moment Arthur had chosen to plot the escape in his dorm room. Unless he had removed the surveillance cameras the white coats had heard every word. That combined with the tracker planted on Ashe would tell them exactly where to go.

Snarling at the thought. Ashe bared long white fangs, the black wolf's hackles rose as he slunk around the edge of the institute. Judging by the guards around the dorm room they weren't fooling around about losing anymore of their precious 'subjects'.

When Ashe and Azure snuck around to the back of the chairman's house they were confronted by a wall of people and spotlights that quickly spread out to circle them. Snarling he stuck close to Azure, protecting her. Despite all the people it was eerily quiet. The only sound came from the sardonic clapping of a single man. He had platinum hair and violet eyes and his blade thin lips were curved in a smirk. Ashe remembered onece when he was small his mother had told him about his father. She had said he was beautiful but that it was a cold untouchable beauty. Chairman Zachary Greaves was utterly devoted to the research and control of psychic abilities.

"It seems I know you quite well Ashe." The Chairman, his father, mocked. "You think in very simple strategies, much like the animals you can become. When you destroyed your tracer I knew you would be coming for my throat. So I was able to set this little trap."

Greaves glanced at Azure and laughed. "Although honestly I expected you to come alone. But then, you never were one to let the things you care about out of your sight."

Snarling, Ashe glared at Greaves and Changed. It was like being engulfed in a rainbow light as his body changed, both agony and rapture at the same time. When he stood beside Azure he reached out and grabbed her hand. He felt the lightning, his second hated power, surge down his free arm just waiting to be unleashed.

They were trapped but Ashe would be damned before they layed a finger on Azure, and he'd be damned before he went down without a fight. Even though Ashe was shaking with supressed rage his voice was cool and calm when he spoke. "I don't know father. You tell me."

*Drama and I have decided to let out characters get captured all though they could use a rescue eventually. You guys should probably find the note they left though otherwise you'll have no clue where they went.*

Arthur Jameston
At the graveyard

Isis mewed a couple times and whispered, "I think you might want to read this, Master Arthur."
I looked down. Before her front paws was a small scroll. I picked it up, unrolled it, and shivered. It was a warning of an ambush from Ashe and Azure. I shouted, "Guys, we gotta get outta here! We've been traced by the Institution! We have to leave now!" I opened the Incantus and quickly recited a teleportation spell to transport us to Nanna's house. The poison ivy vines gave way to my command. "Hurry! In the manor, quickly!"
Someone shouted, "Where did those kids go? Arthur can't turn them all invisible at once!"
I went inside the manor and commanded the vines to cover the manor. I said calmly, "We'll be safe here for the moment. Isis, show everybody around the place. Nila, if you still have that recovery potion, you'll have to shove it down my throat again when I'm passed out from a Tracer."
It took me a while to find Nanna's old potion room. Her bed was big enough to bear me. I recited the Tracer spell, then passed out on Nanna's bed. I felt trapped, locked up in a cage like an animal. The Chairman was grinning at me. I knew where Ashe was, but something bothered me. Those eyes the Chairman had looked like my eyes. I shivered. The Chairman was my father!
