Kali recoiled and felt anger burn though the mist in her mind.
"What the hell?" she yelled at him and was about to slap him back when she registered the clarity of mind that she was experiencing. The symbol above her head was still as bright as before but now Kali could think clearly. She concentrated and calmly brought the world around her to a stop. She gently grabbed Alec's wrist and allowed the magic to flood over him so that he could be part of the time stop.
"So what do we do now?" Alec asked.
"What I should have done the first time," she said, grabbing one of the vampire's knifes and meticulously slicing each and every one of their throats. Alec helped. After having killed each of the vampires, Kali turned to her uncle and froze. Every memory of him flashed before her eyes. The good memories while her parents were still alive, the terrible memories of that night, and the memories of all the times that he had helped her since then. Without meaning to, Kali had not only begun to trust him but also care about him in a strange messed-up way.
"What's wrong?" Alec asked.
"I can't do it. I can't kill him. He made my life hell and I can't even hurt him," Kali yelled at him, tears streaming down her face.
"May I?" Kali nodded and closed her eyes as Alec cut his throat.
The moment Kali heard the soft snick of Alec's knife sliding into her uncle's chest, she allowed time to continue at it's own pace. All around her, vampires exploded into blood, and though her uncle called out to her time after time, Kali kept her eyes stubbornly shut until his cries and whispers stopped cutting straight through her heart.
"Let's go," she said to Alec and walked out.
I know, it was a sucky ending but I lost interest so it wasn't going to get better. Maybe if I regain interest I'll come back and edit it or something. Anyway, it's over. THE END.

Kali Fanfiction 5
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.

Fanfiction 3
Kali heard a yell, as the vampires lunged at her, trying to fix the damage that was already done but when they looked again, Kali was gone and in her place was a reflection. Already outside the building, Kali snickered as she heard their cries of despair and ran as fast as she could to the nearest car. At last second, she had frozen time and found the nearest mirror. She had quickly done the spell and brought her reflection to life.
"Go stand the way I was standing and kill yourself."
The reflection nodded and as time unfroze, she plunged the dagger into her chest. Kali felt sorry for it and promised to return it to the mirror as soon as she could. The vampires had been smart enough to take her cell phone away so Kali would have to use the cars to get to the Sanctuary. Then she saw a Porsche Carrera parked by the road. The temptation was too much to resist and a few minutes later she was zooming along the road maybe a little faster than she should have been. It was late though and not many people were around. She wasn't even stopped by a police man as she zoomed into town. The Grand Mage, having no life outside of his office, usually stayed there late into the night and Kali expected him to still be there. She dashed into the Capitol, her magical signature unlocking the doors as she went. Finally, she burst into The Grand Mage's office, where she found him working.
"Uncle, I was kidnapped by a group of vampires. I need your help there are other people there. You have to save them."
The Grand Mage looked up.
"You trust me. I knew that at some point you would but you are very very stubborn. A month ago you would have gone to someone else, anyone else really, but now it's too late."
Kali blinked and turned to leave but a gust of wind sent the door slamming shut.
"I must take you back to them. You see, I am helping them out. They needed the ability to stay inconspicuous and as Grand Mage, well, I could give them that. All the kidnapping files came to my desk and then were thrown away. No one knows what is going on."
Kali tried to freeze time but before she could summon the magic, her uncle threw her back into the wall behind her and bound her magic with handcuffs.
"Don't be silly. Come on now."
He put her necklace around her neck and put one of him own on. No one on the street would be able to help them no one would be able to save her. The Grand Mage picked her up in his arms and carried her out of the Sanctuary. The eyes of the few people that they met, passed over them as they made their way home. None of them were mages and Kali was beginning to despair. She started to scream and shout but her uncle gagged her by taking the air away from her lips. Sound needed a medium to travel. He put her in his car and drove her back to the house where everyone was being held. Kali saw a man with a phone in his pocket reporting a stolen car to the police. Oops. In seconds, Kali was back in the room of the house and the vampires were leering at her.

Fanfic 2`
When Kali woke up, she was tied up in a dark room. The air was heavy and stale and tasted like mold. She struggled against her bonds but couldn't get them looser.
"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.
"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."

New Fanfic
I have gotten over my very long period of writers block and I am ready to write. Here is the first part of a new fanfiction that I had the idea for about ten seconds ago.
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

Glee
Okay so right now I'm listening to I Feel Pretty/ Unpretty by Glee and I keep pressing the replay button. A lot of people have something against Glee but really everyone has to admit that they make good music. Even though the second season has no plot as far as I can tell, the music is still amazing. Here is a link to Pretty/Unpretty:
