Fanfic 2`
"Hey, you awake?" a voice said from the darkness.
"Who's there?" Kali asked.
"Well, there's a bunch of us. We were all kidnapped, same as you. We're all tied up and we can't get free."
"How many are there?"
"Twenty-four, including you and me. I was the first and I think I've been here for a week. I can't really tell time down here but Jason says that today is Thursday. What's your name?"
"Kali. You?"
"Alec."
Suddenly a door a few feet above them, opened. In the dim light that it provided, Kali could see at least twenty vampires walk down the stairs and start to untie the people there. Alec had been right about their numbers. There were twenty sorcerers together in the room, all of different ages and, as far as Kali could tell, no connection to each other.n The vampire that untied her, hauled her to her feet and gripped her arm painfully hard. Even if she did use her magic, she wouldn't have been able to loosen his grip so she just followed along in his wake, unable to do anything. They were all taken to a large room. It had a tall roof and a marble floor.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen," a tall vampire at the front of the room said. "You have all been brought together for the purpose of destroying the world. You see you twenty-four mages were chosen for having the strongest minds in the world. A single blast of your minds together could hypnotize everyone all around the world. And if we tell them to obey every order given to them by a vampire..." An evil grin spread across the head vampire's face and Kali shrunk back.
"What makes you think that we will do what you say?" Alec asked, boldly stepping forward.
"You don't have to do what I say because you don' t have to do anything. All you have to do is stand there and think. My psychic friend here will just channel your brainwaves and send out the message that we want to create." Alec stepped back, his eyes wide. Kali looked around for a way to escape but couldn't find anywhere. What could she do? She couldn't hold time still long enough to do anything.
"I have a question. Why twenty-four?"
"It is the minimum number of minds needed to complete the process."
Kali grinned at him and grabbed a dagger off her belt.
"So if I were to kill myself?"
"Stop her," the vampire screamed and that was the last thing that Kali heard before she plunged the dagger into her stomach.
The vampire glared at her and watched as she pulled a dagger out of her jacket and plunged into her heart.

New Fanfic
Kali jumped through the window and concentrated. As the glass shattered into a wave around her, time froze. She tried to move through the air. It was like moving through honey as the magic tried to keep her from falling to the ground. As soon as the tip of her left boot touched the ground, the air returned to normal. Maneuvering around the glass shards in the air, Kali walked to where a vampire hung suspended in mid air. His face was distorted into an ugly snarl and his right hand reached out to where Kali had been before. Kali slipped a knife out of her belt and cut off the vampire's head. There seemed to be no change. No blood dripped from the cut and his head stayed on his neck. Kali stepped back and let go of the magic. The vampire's eyes widened in surprise as it registered two things. One was that his prey was no longer in front of him and the other was that his head was no longer attached to his neck. With a spray of blood it fell to the floor along with the shards of glass and the vampire's body landed next to it. Kali sighed in relief. Her magic was temperamental at best and at times she couldn't use it and others it happened without her wanting it to. She was lucky that it had decided to come to her at that moment. A second longer and the vampire would have had her. Now the question was why had the vampire wanted her. She sheathed her knife into her belt and pulled a necklace out of her pocket. It was made of deep green beads and it had a black obsidian pendant. Kali's mother had given it to her before she died and Kali didn't go anywhere without it. Not for sentimental value but because it had a special quality that his her from mortal eyes. Any mage would see through it in a second but she was invisible to humans. She walked out of the house that she had walked into and called a representative form the Sanctuary to come clean up her mess. Then she jumped up and landed neatly on the hood of a car, freezing time for just a second as soon as her feet hit so that the inertia wouldn't throw her to the other end of town. She as it moved to the left turn lane she jumped to another car. She didn't want to go left. In this way, freezing time as much as she could, she made her way into town. Washington D. C. wasn't just the political capital of the US, it was also the magical capital and hidden under the Capitol Building was a whole other building: The Sanctuary. She made her way down to the visitor's entrance, using her invisibility to get past the guards. Most of the Sanctuary officials had badges that would get them in easily but it would be weird if a fifteen-year-old girl had an official badge so she had to be a little more creative. She slipped into a maintenance elevator and waited for the doors to slide closed before putting her hand on the back wall which opened to a long, white hallway that resembled a high tech science facility. At the end of the hall, she put her hand onto a fingerprint scanner that read her magical fingerprint. Apparently everyone had a different one and it was impossible to fool. The door slid open to reveal a large circular room. Hallways branched out in every direction and the room was bustling with people. If you worked in the Sanctuary, you walked through that room at least once everyday because it was the center of the whole operation. Everyone called it The Atrium. Kali made her way straight across the room slipping off her necklace as she went. There was only one door that did not lead to a hallway from the Atrium and that was the Grand Mage's office. Kali walked in without kicking. A man who looked to be in his twenties but was actually more like seventy, looked up from his work as she walked in. Instead of being irritated a most people would have, he just smiled.
"Hello Kali. How my I help you?"
"I was attacked today by a vampire. I know he was rogue or anything because he activated some pager thing or something. Here it is."
Kali threw the small black device that had been in her pocket at The Grand Mage and he held it gently in his hands.
"I'll have some specialists look into it. They will most likely be able to track the signal. We'll find out what the vampire wanted."
"Thank you."
"Um, Kali? Are you okay?"
Kali didn't want to know if the worry that she saw in her uncle's dark eyes was genuine or not. He had hurt her too many times before. Of course, that didn't mean that she couldn't use his influence but she didn't want him to think that she cared.
"I'm fine."
Kali walked to her house. The Grand Mage would take care of everything. She trusted him to do that much at least for her. Her apartment was just around the corner when she felt something come over her mouth and nose. The overwhelming smell of chloroform filled her nostrils and though she fought to stay conscious, she felt herself slip away and everything went dark

Jay and Vade part 5
Later that night, after getting all the mud out of their hair they waited in the dark for the monster to show up. It was raining lightly, and after an hour outside, Jay and Vade were soaked through. They hadn’t said a word but if they had it would have come out in a shivering stutter. Finally, the darkness appeared.
“You know this plan could go wrong in so many ways,” Jay said.
“Hey, where’s your enthusiasm?”
“I don’t know, probably with your cynicism.”
Vade laughed.
“Well, here goes nothing,” he said but instead of running to draw out the darkness, he pulled Jay close and kissed her.
It was short but it spread warmth through Jay’s body. Before she could really register what happened Vade dashed off into the rain. She watched after him for a little and then ran through the main road, crashing into just about every person that had decided to step out of his or her house that night. There weren’t that many but there were enough to slow her down considerably. She rounded a corner onto a quieter street and kept on running, taking the corners faster than she should have, and her feet skidding on the wet ground. Finally, she made it. She slid in though the maintenance door and ran through the corridors to the control room. It had an open view of the whole stadium. She waited until she saw Vade running in from the far corner. The dark thing had almost reached him.
“Just a little farther,” she whispered to herself and when the monster made it to the middle of the field she flicked on the lights.
Every light in the stadium flashed on illuminating the whole field with blinding, white light. Jay heard a loud screeching sound that grated on her ears and it took her a moment to realize it was the monster screaming. She ran out to the field as fast as she could and got there just in time to see the monster killed its eighth victim.
Vade stood in the middle of the field with a triumphant look on his face. He waved to her as she ran out, his back to the darkness. Jay saw it send three tendrils of darkness shooting at Vade. Jay screamed his name but it was too late and she knew it. The tendrils of darkness hit their mark and tore through Vade’s body. The Darkness dissolved completely and vanished. Jay ran to Vade, tears filling her eyes. She touched his face looking for some life but he was dead. She wasn’t sure how long she sat in the rain for, Vade’s blood mixing with the rain and the soil in the ground. Jay’s phone rang in her pocket, the ringtone cutting through the quiet like a knife. Jay picked up. It was her mom, hysterical because it was three in the morning and Jay still wasn’t home. Jay tried to reassure her that everything was fine and she was on her way home, but her mom must have heard something in her voice because she started panicking even more. Jay ran home as fast as she could. She needed her mom to hug her, but when she burst in through the door, she saw her mom’s worried face. She couldn’t make her worry more.
“Honey, you’re all wet.”
“Yeah, sorry the movie started a little late and after we went to the park to play in the rain. It was lots of fun.”
Jay forced a smile on her face.
“Well, go take a shower and have something warm to eat. Then you go to bed.”
Jay nodded. It had been a long time since her mom had babied her and Jay realized she must have been more worried than she had imagined.
“Sorry for worrying you, Mom. I really didn’t want to.”
She hugged her mom and took a shower. Even under the warm water she shivered. She closed her eyes and saw Vade’s body and broke down. She cried long and hard, her tears mixing with the water of the shower and her sobs masked by the noise.

JV Part 4
Jay was running. Again. Vade stumbled behind her and fell into a puddle. She turned around and laughed, but her grin became a shout of surprise as Vade pulled her down with him. She picked up a glop of mud rubbing it into his black hair, making it brown. His icy blue eyes stared up at her and she knew she had to run. Her shorts were muddy and her sandals were probably ruined, but today was picnic day where everyone in their apartment buildings drove an hour out of the city to a huge meadow. The fact that it had rained and the ground was a mess meant nothing. Vade caught her around the waist and threw her down into the tall grass. He drew a line with the mud down her nose and two across her cheeks.
"You're an Indian now."
She swiped a fist at him but he ducked. They both laughed and lay down in the wet grass. Jay could feel it seeping through her clothes but the summer air was warm and it didn’t bother her.
"So what are we going to do about that black blob thing?" Vade asked.
"Aw, spoilsport," Jay complained, but she knew that he was right and they had to talk about it.
That monster had already killed seven people and he was adding another to the list each night.
"I don't know. Everything we throw at it has no effect at all. He only disappears when we get to a crowded street."
"That's not true, remember, three nights ago we went to that park, there were bums everywhere but he still came. Scared them silly."
Jay laughed.
"Then why does he disappear?"
They were both silent as they thought about it. Suddenly the sun poked through the clouds and shone right in Jay’s eyes. She flinched and closed her eyes instinctively.
"I know. What about light? It seems to be made of darkness and the main streets are always well lit."
"Okay, say its weakness is light what do we do? How do we force it somewhere with lights? Or do we attack it with flashlights?"
"We make him chase somewhere dark and then we turn on the lights."
"Good plan."

JV Part 3
The next day, Vade found Jay at her regular spot: the park's basketball courts. No one ever went there and that was how she liked it. She dribbled the ball a couple times and shot. Swish. A three-pointer. Vade picked up the ball as it rolled off the court and tossed it back at her. Swish. Another one. It didn't hit the backboard, and it didn't touch the rim. A perfect arc. Every time.
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Get it in every single time?"
Jay shrugged.
"I just do."
And she proceeded to get another one in.
"You should try out for the basketball team."
Jay shrugged again.
She was pretty. Her hair was light brown, almost blond, with honey colored highlights. It fell in waves just past her shoulders, framing her tanned face beautifully. She was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt, covered by her leather jacket and black leather boots that hugged her calves.
"You want to know what I think?" Vade asked, stealing the ball from her.
"Not particularly."
"I think that you could do anything you want. You're smart, pretty, and incredible at basketball, and yet you do nothing. Your grades are average, but I’ve seen you learn things from Jim and the others so well. You have no friends at school but you charm everyone at the bar. If you tried, you could be the most popular girl in school. And I've seen you play basketball and yet, you are playing here, in an empty park all alone. Don’t bother with telling me you don’t have time because that is a terrible excuse. You’re free most afternoons. What I think is that you don't care enough to do anything worth doing and you are scared that you won't meet people's expectations. You have to give it a shot, take a leap and see what happens." The ball left his hands, soaring in an arc, hitting the rim and bouncing to Jay. She took the ball and threw it. Swish.
