Halloween- Part One

Harmony's Perspective
Me and the girls have been practising the ritual for the past few days. It's October 30th, and not only am I a bit scared, but worried. Bolt still hasn't returned or has been seen anywhere since the day we arrived at Olive's. He said he'd be here for me.
Not only that but I'm also worried we might screw up the ritual. I know we practised and everything, but you need know what's going to happen. No doubt, the Dark Lord will be there. Trying to get me to screw up. But what if I can't focus enough? What if I can't ignore him and I screw up everything?
Then the Dak Lord would rule the world and we would all be on a death sentence...
"That's exactly why we can't let that happen." Diana said standing in the doorway of my room. I said nothing as I looked at her. She sighed and sat down on my bed next to me. "You do realize that the more discourage you are, the more likely you are to do those exact things that your afraid of doing, right?" I only sighed and rubbed my eyes.
"You need to be confident." Said another voice at my doorway. When I looked up this time it was Maria. With Xeena, Laura, Elaine, Ambrosia and Riley. They all ran in and gave me a group hug.
"Be confident. Trust me it helps with a lot of things." Xeena said. We stayed up together the whole night. And just before going to sleep, Diana put her and the girls back into my soul.

Derrick's Perspective

My soldiers were just finishing reviewing the plan for tomorrow as I stood ontop of the hill behind The Lady of the Night's house. I stood glaring at my enemy as she sat on her bed hugging her supernatural friends. I sensed Cherry walk up behind me and I smiled. Remembering how it felt to kill the woman who broke my heart. I watched her as her soul had left her body and my magic had taken over. Her eyes looked better without pupils, anyway.
"The blonde one, what's her name again?" I asked pointing to blonde haired girl hugging Harmony Hunter. She reminded me of a friend of my sister's. She looks just like Maria..."Her name is Maria, sire." Cherry said emotionlessly. I turned and looked at Cherry surprised. Before I looked back through the bedroom window and scanned everyone in the room. I couldn't believe my eyes, as I watched my sister hug my very enemy. My surprise quickly turned to anger as I growled aggressively and turned and stormed back to the camp where they were going over everything again. I found Russell explaining the plan to my first set of troops before I stopped beside him. "Call everyone to the lake. I have an announcement." I said as I stormed away from my soldiers and Cherry followed. I walked over to the lake and stood on the dock as everyone silently stood in parallel with one another in front of the dock.
"Change of plans. Instead we take the one with a streak or red hair tonight. And hold her hostage. That way tomorrow, they will have no choice but to listen to my orders." I announced angrily and creepily over my army.

Harmony's Perspective

I woke up on Halloween morning with an unsettling feeling. Like I was missing something. I jumped out of bed and scanned the room: untouched. I called for Diana and she entered my room looking worried. "What's wrong?" She asked looking around my room for clues as to what happened. I shook my head.
"I just have an unsettling feeling. Can you listen for anything unusual?" She shook her head quickly as she turned to leave.
"Already did."
"What do you mean you already did?" I asked as she stopped in the doorway of my room. "I already listened and still am listening around for anything or anyone unusual because Elaine's missing." She said bluntly before escaping down the hall. I stood shocked. Elaine? Missing? Of all of my friends, Elaine, went missing? How  would that even be possible? I was just with her a few hours ago...I thought before looking at my clock which read 6:22 am. For a while I stood still. Trying to find a way for any of it to make sense. She is one of the strongest people I know. How is she supposed to disappear without leaving a trace?
"Don't worry about it." I heard a voice say. I turned to see Olive standing in my doorway. "How did you-" I asked surprised before I got cut off.
"You were thinking out loud. You should be worrying about the ritual if anything not Elaine. Don't worry everyone is looking for her. I hate to put anymore pressure on you but, if you screw up this ritual in anyway, we are all going to die. Plus you have to perform this ritual in-" She stopped to check her watch. "13 hours and 27 minutes. Chop, chop." She said as she walked out of the room. My mind began racing. Thinking of everything I had to do before doing the ritual. I hopped into he shower and started to make a mental schedule for everything.
