Dark and His Queen

The Ritual

          Dr. Schneeplstien followed quickly behind Anti and Die as they rushed into the room.  Dark was sitting on the floor with Laura's lifeless body in his arms.  "Quickly put her on the bed."   Schneep ordered.  Dark placed her on the bed gently.  "Dark, snap out of it.  If you want to save her you are going to have to do it now."   Schneep placed his hand on Dark's shoulder.  Dark, Anti and Die all clasped hands standing around the bed.  They started to chant the same phrase over and over and over again.  The room started to fill with thick black smoke.  The smoke whirled around them and then collected over Laura's body.  At that moment Dark started chanting a different phrase while Anti and Die continued as they were.  As Dark continued to chant a small white light appeared in the middle of the dark cloud.  Then they started to chant louder and louder.  The black smoke began to circle Laura.  It spun faster as they chanted louder.  Laura's body was then enveloped by the smoke.  It levitated her off the bed as it entered her body.  She drifted down and softly landed on the mattress.  The guys stopped chanting and Dr. Schneeplstien went to Laura to check her and to dress her wound.  There were no physical signs that the ritual did not work.  They guys waited, breath held in anticipation.  "I can't say for sure if it was a success or not.  There does not seem to be any signs that is went wrong.  Right now, all we can do is wait."   Dark sat on the side of the bed and stroked Laura's hair.  He leaned down and kissed her lips gently and then whispered in her ear.  "Please don't leave me."
