A week since the disappearance of Darcy Reese..

Yet life still went on...

...however, for this group of people, life will never be the same.
Sade: OK, guys. Who's ready for our SIXTH consecutive night at home?! Let's start this night off with some vodka cranberry!!!
Sarah: Ugh we drank last night and the night before. Can't we do something else this night?
Sade: Like what? Go outside?....OH wait! We can't, because murderous vampires are hunting us down.
Carolina:You guys are so lucky you have such an awesome apartment. Alex and I are so grateful to you for letting us stay here. It sucks those creeps know where we live.
Sarah: Yeah and now we are living like fugitives. At least you got a new hairstyle out of it *laughs playfully*. I should totally become a hair dresser.
Sade: Yeah you look really cool Carolina. I wish I could pull off a look like that.
Carolina: Well I'm lucky. You guys have been really cool. Especially Jasper. I'm glad he's hanging out with Alex so much. I really wanted to get his mind off of Darcy.
Sade: Well the witch bitch and her wolf man took care of that for all of us.
Sarah: I don't get it. Shouldn't they be happy we told them what happened to her? Instead they tell us to stay out of it.
Carolina: All of this just gives me the creeps. First they want to take Fiona and now they take Darcy, who's apparently a werewolf? What's next? Taking one of us?
Sade: Please. I would like to see those freaks try. All we have to do is carry garlic and not walk around at night alone. How scary are people who can't walk around in the sun?!
Carolina: You saw what they did to my brother. We need to be real careful.
Sade: Well that will NOT happen to me. Anyway, let's make a toast.
Sade: To the best friends a girl could ask for in a crazy world full of vampires, werewolves and faeries!!!
Carolina and Sarah: Yay!
Carolina: So onto other topics. Are you guys still looking for a roommate?
Sarah: Well yea. Before all this craziness happened, we were supposed to post an ad on craigslist. I guess since we are home yet again tonight, we can post one. It's kind of getting hard to pay the rent when everyone who lives here either has unpaid internships or minimum wage jobs.
Sade: Why don't we ask Chaz to move in?! He can sleep in Fiona's bed!
Sarah: Giggling Sade!
Chaz: Ok are you ready?
Fiona: We've been doing this for four days. I'm always ready.
Fiona: It worked! I feel way stronger!
Chaz: Good...now it's your turn!
Chaz: We did it, Fiona! We are channeling each other!!
Fiona: Ok..ok! We have to test this out. Let's see if we are stronger in any way.
Chaz: Ok. I'm going to start out with something simple. Let's try to make objects invisible. That will be useful if we have to hide from the vampires.
Fiona: Try it on that lamp over there.
Chaz: Hah! I used to be able to do that in my sleep. It's going to take a lot for me to get back to how I used to be.
Fiona: About that. Are you ever going to tell me why your powers became so weak?
Chaz: I will....in time. C'mon. now it's your turn!
Chaz: I read that if faeries concentrate hard enough, they can make people invisible!
Fiona: Here goes nothing!
Chaz: Ahh!!! You did something wrong!
Fiona: Laughing uncontrollably
Chaz: Don't just laugh!
Fiona: Ok....hehe...Nice tattoos by the way.
Chaz: HA HA very funny. Now get my clothes back please. It's freezing!
Chaz: Thank you. I think that's enough for today.
Fiona:That was just a joke! I promise I'll do it the right way. Can't we just practice one more time?
Chaz: Fiona, you don't need training. I saw what you can do when you really fight. The point of us training was for us to channel each other and feed off each others magic. Now...speaking of feeding. I'm starving. Let's go ask everyone what they want to order tonight.
Sarah: Finally! How was your training?
Fiona: Oh it was very brief.
giggles
Chaz: SHH!
Chaz: So uh what do you guys want tonight?
Sade: How about we go out tonight?!
Jasper: Sade, you know we can't until the vampires are all dead.
Chaz: .....yeah what he said.
Alex: I'll go downstairs to the cafe. They have awesome pizza.
Carolina: I'm coming with you! Remember none of us should go out at night alone.
Alex: You didn't have to come with me. I can take care of myself.
Carolina: Listen, I know firsthand how fast a vampire can come out of nowhere and sink their teeth into your neck. Besides, who's going to help you carry the food?
Carolina suddenly stopped in her tracks..
Naomi and JJ had come to pay them a visit.
Alex: What the hell do you want?! Last time I checked, you were supposed to be out looking for your sister. Now you're coming here to lecture us again?? Get lost!
Carolina: Alex, calm down.
Alex: No! If I had known they wouldn't be able to find her, I would have gone looking myself!
JJ rushed towards Alex and shoved him against the wall.
JJ: Listen punk! It's your fault my sister was taken. She's gone because you were stupid enough to drag her into a fight with a damn vampire! Don't try to act tough around me, because I will throw you through this wall. Got it?!
Carolina: Get off him!!!
Naomi: Stop it JJ. We came here to talk, remember? We found out where Darcy is being held.
JJ: Fine. He's lucky she is still alive.
Naomi: Thank you for letting us in and speaking to you. I imagine you are all very confused as to what is going on with these vampires and your friend Fiona.
Sade: No offence, witchy girl, but last time you came here you basically jumped down our throats for getting involved. Thanks to those bloodless freak bags, we are stuck on house arrest every night. We aren't confused about anything. They want to eat us, we get it.
Sarah: Sade, let them talk.
JJ: That's not even the half of it.
Naomi: Right, as I was saying. These vampires have a leader. His name is Joseph and he's very powerful. Two years ago he came here with his minions. They were here to kidnap a faerie, which they did, but then they went after JJ, who is a werewolf. Thankfully we outsmarted them and ran away.
Fiona: What happened to the faerie?
Naomi: He was killed. I don't know anything else about that. I just know that someone killed him before I came and rescued JJ from the cellar they were keeping them in.
Chaz: I don't understand. This sounds to me like this vampire wants to do some sort of ritual. I mean why else would he go after specific supernaturals?
Naomi: To do some sort of sacrifice of course. All I know is that he needs a werewolf, a faerie and a witch to do the spell on a full moon. There is someting else though.
Naomi: There's a reason why they did not do the sacrifice the last time even though they apparently had what they wanted. JJ was locked up in that cellar for weeks, even on the night of a full moon. Joseph was looking for something I just know it.
Fiona: So that means we just have to find out what that thing is. We know we are safe for now.
Naomi: Not exactly. It's been two years. He's either found it or he's going to take his sacrifices into hiding until he does find it.
Jasper: Why do you need our help? You two know way more about this guy than us humans do.
Naomi: Vampires are not stupid. They know that Fiona's weak spot is her friends. They will do anything to capture her, even if it means killing everyone she loves.
JJ: So you know what that means? You are involved in this even if you don't want to be. Tomorrow is the full moon. I am one hundred percent sure that they have triggered the werewolf curse in Darcy. So we need your help to rescue her.
Naomi: Then we can make a plan to kill these vampires and you can all go back to living normal lives.
Carolina: OK, what is this plan exactly?
Naomi: I've located Darcy using a locator spell last night. They are keeping her in some shack by the bay. Fiona can be bait. Chaz, the wizard, right? Well you can be right behind her to ward off anyone that tries to attack. JJ and I will be behind the house blocking any other exit. I will put up a barrier for anyone who's inside. Then we will grab Darcy and run.
Everyone silently nodded their heads.
JJ was right. They didn't ask for this misery, but they had to deal with it now.
As everyone dispersed throughout the house.JJ and Naomi turned around and walked to the door.
JJ:We will be back here tomorrow night.
Alex: We will be waiting.
Fiona: You know when I was younger; I thought my mother was the most amazing person in the world. I mean, she could fly. What kid wouldn't want a mother like that? She also healed me every time I got sick or injured. She used good luck charms on me whenever I was nervous for a test or a presentation. When I was thirteen, I transformed. I looked forward to her teaching me how to use my new powers, but then a week later she died. I lost my way after that. It's like my powers just didn't want to work, it's like that part of me died with her. Then last week my friends were almost killed and all of a sudden the faerie in me came out. It's like I have a purpose now. I will always protect my loved ones.
Fiona: Even....if it means dying for them.
Chaz: Listen to me right now. We are NOT going to let them win. We WILL outsmart them and we will all come out alive. That is my one promise to you, Fiona.
Dawn.
In Indigo bay, this time of the day was always a beautiful sight to see.
A time for relaxation, a time for clearing the mind,
And a time to think...
For Alex Benston, it was a time to think about a decision he made the night before.
Jasper: Hey dude. You ok?
Alex: Fine. Just thinking...
Jasper: About tonight, huh? Are you sure you want to get involved? All those guys have something you don't. You're just a regular human. It would be like me helping out the justice league fight off aliens.
Alex: Hah! Good one. I wish I could say I wasn't, but Darcy is in this mess because of me. It's something I have to do. Besides, I've always wanted to stake a vampire.
Jasper: Funny how our lives turned into comic books.
By the bay,
In a remote location.
Eric: Get up, wolf. I brought you some energy drink.
Darcy: Why are you creeps keeping me here?
Eric:Don't you worry about that. Just know that tonight you'll be free. You can race through this swamp killing everything in your path. That's what a monster like you does on a full moon.
Darcy: What have you done to me??
Before Darcy could ask anything else, the vampire swiftly left the room and locked the door behind him.
Darcy: Let me out!!!! PLEASE!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
