Alec looked around, panicking. He was struggling to think straight but he could barely register the sounds and images that his mind took in through the fog that surrounded his thoughts. He looked around wildly, noticing that everyone else was doing the same. He thought desperately but none of the ideas or images could find each other as if they were stumbling blindly through a thick haze. Then he saw Kali slump into the Grand Mage's arms. Her eyes rolled back into her head as if she had passed out and Alec saw the symbol above his head dim, though it did not disappear. The Grand Mage looked surprised by her faint and frowned. Alec understood immediately and tried to catch another person's eyes. As soon as he was sure the young woman in front of him understood what he was trying to say, he allowed himself to slip into the fog in his mind hoping that the person would follow.
The lead vampire watched in anger as one by one, the people before him passed out. Each time one of them dropped, the symbol that had been forming above them, dimmed and as the last person fainted, it disappeared altogether. He felt the magic in the symbols in his arms dissipate. He growled deep in his throat, and the other vampires flinched as it become a sound of extreme frustration and anger.
"Wake them up," he barked at his minions. They stumbled over each other to obey.
Kali awoke abruptly to a harsh stinging on her left cheek. A snarling vampire stood over her. Reflexively, Kali kicked the vampire in the knees and heard a satisfying cracking sound but before she could do anything else, she was surrounded by three other vampires, who grabbed her arms and pinned them to her sides as they hauled her to her feet. Kali stopped struggling and they let her go. Then, they spread out and activated the symbols on their arms again. Kali felt the pressure return to her mind and she struggled to push away the white fog in her mind. She looked at Alec desperately and he slapped her.

Kali's Fanfiction 4
"Nice try, pretty girl," the vampire leered at Kali. She just calmly glared back doing her best not to display the burning emotions in her gut. Her uncle's hand was firm on her back. He was right. She had begun to trust his even though she had promised herself she never would. He had not tried to help when her parents were killed, and he had personally killed her best friend but there was something about his charisma that kept her from hating him. Even now, as he gripped her tightly from behind, his soft smile and kind eyes made it nearly impossible for her to even dislike him.
"So you have decided to help us. How kind of you. Continue with the procedure," the lead vampire commanded and all the other vampires followed. Together, the vampires spread out into a circle around the twenty-four people standing there. Gently, they tapped a few symbols in the crook of their arms. Beams of light from the symbols flew out to the people in the circle. As one beam hit her, Kali felt a soft pressure in her mind that gently and carefully tried to blank out all her thoughts. It spread outwards and kept her from thinking clearly. Everything seemed blurred and annoying as she tried with all her might to concentrate. The beams of light grew larger, brighter and stronger and another symbol started to form above the group gathered below.
"Yes, people think, think with all you might. Your minds will power this machine and soon we will rule over everything," the vampire laughed maniacally. Then, Kali realized what she had to do. She imagined the emptiness in her mind to be coming from a soft, white light.Kali walked towards the light and relaxed into it. The light didn't bother her eyes or hurt her at all as Kali surrendered. Then, there was nothing. No thought, no sight, no feeling. It was as if everything in the world had ceased to exist and even her own consciousness was no longer there. The only thing that was left, was a vague idea of the person Kali.
