1Something had drawn her here. She didn't know what but maybe if she stayed a little longer she would find out why she had come. Nobody came and Cammy thought that she should get up and head home. She didn't realise though that she was being watched.
Another living creature watched her. She wasn't really a creature, more or less she was a force. She couldn't be seen by any creature on the earth unless she chose took on a shape. Now watching Cammy she had an uneasy feeling. The girl sat incredibly still, looking as though she was lost in deep thought. And she was, the force could feel it. The thoughts were tugging at her. They were deep and if they became stronger evil things were sure to come.
The dark force was starting to take notice of things around him. He was over a large body of water with no land insight. His sleep had been long. How long he didn't know but it was sure to have been centuries. Some one out there had awaken him with their power. They were strong. Although they weren't about his purpose the darkness was able to give him enough energy to wake.
Cammy got up of the log she was sitting on to leave. It was almost suppertime and the tide was almost up to her feet. She was late already but didn't hurry. Her mother could yell at her if she wanted but it wouldn't bother Cammy too much. She was late a good deal of the time and had almost memorized her mother's "You're Late" speech. Maybe she could fill in the blanks, just to annoy her mother. It wasn't like Cammy often got in trouble it was just that her mother liked to scold about anything and everything.
Tonight Cammy's parents were going out and leaving Cammy's bratty nine-year- old sister with her. Daisy was always trying to get people to play with her. Anyone who was around, could easily be forced to play her games. Cammy was usually able to get out of it unless her parents weren't around to keep Daisy occupied and tonight was going to be awful. At least if she was able to get rid of Daisy she would have time to herself. Being alone with her thoughts was very relaxing.
Cammy unlike most people found the dark friendly and inviting. The dark didn't reveal anything and kept things safe. Cammy believed that the dark had some sort of power to keep the secerts of a person was believed in it.
Arriving home her mother was waiting on the porch and started to scold her for being late. Cammy only half listened, why should she if she had nearly the entire lecture committed to memory. She blocked out the noise of her mother's chatter and just concentrated on what was around her. The summer was unusually wet and cold, and while the rain most often ended in June and didn't start until October, it had rain from December until now. Today the rain had stopped at noon and everything was saturated with water. Could be really nice if the sun ever came out and dried up the water but all of Cammy's favourite summer places were so soaked with water that she was having to spend the days in crowded malls where she could hardly move between the other people avoiding the rain.
Her mother's lecture was finally over and Cammy was able to nod symbolizing her understanding of what her mother had just said. Cammy's mother was the type of person who thought that every person should be rated the same. It didn't matter if they were the type who thought it was cool to fail every test that came there why or if they had earned wealth through stocks Cammy's mother insisted that every one should be the same, basically perfect. Cammy thought the opposite. Ranking came from how well you believed in certain things and express them to get ahead in life.
While Cammy's mother liked to always be on the run and over book herself so she had not a spare minute in the day was always trying to get her family to hurry up and plan more. Cammy rather take the days slowly and spend more time thinking, being busy really stressed her out.
Cammy's mother was still talking about something, and Cammy decided it would be a good idea to listen in something important was being said. ". and Cammy make sure that Daisy is in bed by 9:00. Okay?"
Cammy respond "I know mom, just like every night."
"Good, and we're leaving know." Cammy's mother said rather loudly, to make sure that Cammy's father also heard.
Cammy thought "Why do I even listen to mom's instructions anyway, I will just do whatever I want anyway."
Cammy flopped down on her bed, lay for a second then got up and closed the blinds. Everything was suddenly peaceful, private and seemed safe. Cammy just lay on her bed, for once not thinking, rest resting. Suddenly there was a knock at her door. "Cammy I'm hungry!" Came Daisy's voice.
"Um hum, I'll come in a minute." Cammy yelled back. Annoyed that her peacefulness was broken.
After Cammy and Daisy had eaten Daisy decided that she was going to go and play teddies and that Cammy had to play with her also. "No, Daisy I'm not going to play teddies it boring and childish." With that Cammy walked into the TV room and plunked herself down in front of it.
The dark force was becoming evermore alert. He noticed flying bits of metal pass near him. Once one of the flying things passed over him and he was certain to suck out all of the energy so that he was able to slowly start to move across the water. He found it incredibly enjoyable to see other people suffer for him.
Moving slowly toward the energy that was pulling him, the force felt himself being drawn northward.
The power of the person was strong, pulling him toward his supply. The more he travelled the stronger the power became. Even by the second he could feel the energy become more intense. As the force travelled he began to feel more and more like his old self. The self that was the strongest force on earth until the six sister forces were able to defeat him. The sisters were forces similar to himself each representing a different aspect of earth life and each appearing in different colours one was red another blue, orange yellow, purple and the strongest of them all was represented by green.
His power had reached its peak during the time when the Normans and Saxons were battling to earn control of as much land as possible. He could infest full villages seeking out the people who would be worth while to live on earth and killing off the rest with a plague. His work created wars between the people he chose, and those who lived were the of supreme use to himself. The "good" sisters were pretty much hopeless compared to his power.
The six sisters never gave up and became many different people on the earth to slow him down. Eventually his people killed off every one of them. The six with one last feeble attempt created a girl to represent their cause. The dark force took the shape of England's king and led a large army into France. The girl had visions of the sisters telling her how to defeat him. Surprisingly the girl was able to defeat most of his troops before he was able to kill her. But her work had been enough and the six sisters were able to defeat him even after the girl's death. When their battle was over he went over the ocean and settled himself over it and fell into a deep sort of sleep.
As he hovered now over the ocean the force thought of the world he had left. The job for a person was decided by what their father's job had been. You became a wife if your father ordered it. Everything was orderly and life continued along year after year after year without much change. The force hoped things would still be the safe.
Land was now insight. Rising far above the ocean the force was surprised because of the tall structures. They were taller than the tallest building he had ever seen but he couldn't even be sure that humans made them. First off he had to create a body for himself and catch up on what had happened during the time he was asleep. He could cover nearly a century of complete history in an hour lucky for him because if he didn't get to his energy supply quick (he was nearly certain that it was a girl) it was certain that the sisters would beat him there.
Drawing closer to the land full of mysterious structures he noticed that there was statue of a women on a small island in the water. Floating in the water around her were enormous boats, bigger than the fishing boats the villagers along the coast used to use by at least ten times. Stranger yet none of the boats seemed to be run by men and oars.
Then he was on land. The people of this future time had the same body structure as the people of the time he left only they were taller. More women had trousers on than skirts. Most women, if they were even wearing skirts and not dressing like the men had really short tight skirts or long tight skirts nothing like what he was used to. He thought, "I need to find out all I can about these times and as fast as I can. First off I need a body."
Cammy sighed, she had decided to play a board game with Daisy to make her be quite about how mean Cammy was not to play teddies with her. Daisy at that moment was setting up a new board game, probably something JR. Those were by far the most boring board game. Cammy's mind drifted off of the new game she was about to be forced to play and thought "do they mean board game as in a game on a board or bored game as if you get bored while playing it"
Daisy broke Cammy's trance "Will you hurry up and go, since the loser of the last game always has to go first." Once again Cammy sighed and looked down at the game. She had been right they were playing Clue JR.
After playing three rounds of Clue (JR.) Cammy had had more than enough. "go to bed or something Daisy or watch TV with me but sit quietly" Cammy instructed her sister rather harshly.
Eventually Daisy wandered upstairs to bed and Cammy was left alone on the sofa, which pleased her very much. She was alone and she could think without being interrupted by Daisy's constant chatter. "Why can't people see the good side of the dark? It doesn't hold evil unless you want it to. How can people be scared of the dark when there is nothing to be scared of except your imagination" Slowly while thinking this Cammy fell asleep on the sofa.
To Cammy dreams weren't a bother and they didn't disturb her sleep. In fact she found her dreams restful. Dreaming was like watching a TV show while being there in person but nobody could see you. Dreaming could help you experience something that without the dream couldn't other wise been done. Unlike most people sleeping without dreaming worried Cammy.
This time she dreamt of a black circle floating above an ocean. somehow she knew it was the Atlantic. Starting from the tropical waters it moved north until it reached New York. After hovering on land for a while the dream became blurry. All Cammy could remember was the black circle turning into the strange looking guy. She didn't know who he was or what he was doing.
The dream engulfed Cammy so much that she slept right through the night and didn't wake up when Daisy and her parents left the house person?" Cammy thought as she opened the door. For their usual summer activities. It was actually 10:00 when Cammy awoke and she realised that she had been so tired that nothing would have woken her unless there was a loud unusual noise. Cammy heard it again and realised that the noise wasn't strange or anything it was just the doorbell. As she got up off the sofa the bell continued to ring and ring and ring. "Who the heck is this
He had taken on the look of a Mexican because in New York they had been among a minority of the people and he like to be original. The person who's body he was in never existed. He decided to call himself Trevor because he had heard the name around New York and he didn't know if the names he knew were normal in this strange time.
He had been able to update his knowledge of the last 500 years in about 10 hours. More than he had expect. The world had changed so much in the past 5 centuries. It was long work but worth it if he were going to take control of the world again. This time the world was bigger and better.
Now he was standing at the door of his supplier. He knew about doorbells and that they were meant to be rung until the person you wanted answered the door. A weird ritual he thought but hit the doorbell over and over. She was giving he so much energy that if she pleased him he could make the girl into a force also. This was nearly the hardest and most strenuous task for any force to do, but it could be worth it. "I'll have to see what she's like before I make any conclusions" he told himself as the door opened.
"What," she asked rather annoyed. Nobody rang a doorbell over and over again it was rude and unnecessary. If someone didn't answer the door then nobody was home or they didn't want to answer the door. The Cammy realized something. This guy was the one the black cloud had turned into in her dream.
The guy answered back "Hi I'm new here and I guess I got the wrong house. I'm Trevor."
Cammy didn't believe this guy- Trevor but decided to let him in the house. "I'm Cammy," Cammy introduced herself, then continuing on rather sarcastically "We have a map if you want to come in and look at it"
"Sure," he answered hoping that had pulled off the "modern" act okay.
It was really uncomfortable being stuck in one form. As a force that liked to spread himself out as far as possible, staying in one form more much more than ten minutes was painful. He felt like he could burst. This was going to be incredibly difficult to hold out until he convinced Cammy to become a force like himself and help him in is cause. Now that he was with his energy supplier the energy coming to him was able to help delay the burst.
The Dark force was close too close. The sisters could feel that he might already in contact with the girl. "It's time to do something," The force appearing as yellow said.
"Her sister would be the best body to use," replied the green force.
After more discussion similar to that went on for several minutes it was decided the best force to use in Daisy's body would be Blue.
Quickly turning into the blue butterfly that she chose to appear in when doing earthwork, she left the group of forces.
Daisy was just returning home from her dance lessons when she was over come by a sudden dizziness. Everything in her mid went blue, different shades spinning inward. Then at the of the spinning funnel was a blue butterfly. The spin was gone and Daisy shook her head then continued on her way home.
The force looked around, hoping to find a conversation starter. Anything to convince Cammy who he was and why her ideas were so important to his survival. "You like the dark?" He asked noticing the closed blinds.
"It's comforting, the lights seem to be bossy because their sole purpose is to tell people where to go." answered Cammy wondering where his conversation was going. Nobody she knew would even think of asking such a lame question that was.
"I agree," he agreed. It was a start he had got her talking about how she likes the dark. "The dark is friendly, engulfing almost, it feels like it can keep you safe.
Weird, Cammy thought to herself. This guy- Trevor seems to think just like me. Aloud she said, "Doesn't it seem that if the world was all dark then everyone would be safe."
Trevor got a funny look in his eye "You know who I am?"
"What!" Cammy was surprised and startled "Who are you?"
"It was a trap, she really doesn't know who I am and now I have to make something to cover up or tell the truth." He though. The truth would be the best he decided.
"Your ideas of darkness awoke me, really I am a force of the dark" Cammy was evidently confused "Without this body I am nothing, I am not visible not even with a microscope." He started to explain.
"What?" Cammy asked again "Are you crazy?"
"No I'm not crazy, I'm trying to explain who I am. During the middle ages as you folks call them I was the ultimate power, the others couldn't overcome me. They tried though. My purpose was to create immense power amongst certain people and create darkness for the others. The other forces tried to stop me for some reason, I don't think they realised the good in what I was doing."
"There was bad?" Cammy asked. She didn't believe a word he was saying but his story was amusing, she could make a good book out of it.
"There wasn't any evil, what seems evil was part of my master plan. Sure they created people to prevent me, the sisters I mean. All of them are portrayed good today, but really their being resulted in mass havoc. One of these people I think was the man you would know as Robin Hood. He was one of the worst for me, but I had a nun finish him off. They finally defeated me with a girl. I believe she is called Joan of Arc.
Cammy said aloud "This is really crazy," Then thought, This guy thinks he killed Robin Hood. Robin Hood never existed. Then Joan of Arc defeated him? This guy is very messed up maybe he should go to the mad house." Cammy then commented, "Joan of Arc was fighting for the French Against the English."
"Or me against the six sister forces," Trevor commented. "They defeat me with girl and I went out to sea and have been sleeping ever since,"
"Nice story" Cammy said sounding mean "When are you going to leave."
Just the Daisy walked into the kitchen where Cammy and Trevor were, absolutely grinning to Cammy's annoyance. "Get lost," Cammy commanded.
"Why so you can talk to your boyfriend?" Daisy responded back.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Cammy exclaimed throwing a glance over her shoulder to look at Trevor. He had gone all tense, and pale. He looked frightened.
"Yes he is," Daisy said skipping toward the pile of teddy bears she had left in the TV room.
As she left the room Cammy turned toward Trevor "Okay what's wrong with Daisy? She's just my kid sister."
"Nothing," Trevor started "Is wrong with Daisy, but she is being inhabited by one of the sister forces, the ones who nearly killed me."
"Okay now you have gone too far, sure the story was kinda funny, and very creative but that's too much saying my sister is housing a force."
He decided to prove it to Cammy. Rising out of the body he currently possessed he leapt toward Cammy's body.
The blue force had chosen just to stay in Daisy's body and not take control of her body and actions. Then came the scream. It was awful, she heard it very loudly "He must have entered her body now!" she exclaimed to herself. Then taking full control of Daisy's body she ran to the kitchen.
Cammy was caught in a trance She couldn't move from where she was hovering just inches above her body. Her body still looked like hers but Cammy knew that the guy - Trevor as he called himself had taken over it. "He must really be a force," she thought. Then suddenly she noticed something was hovering next to her.
It was Daisy floating the same way she was, motionless but staring at her body. Some words were exchanged between the two forces before things started to spin.
As the two forces spun Cammy and Daisy were taken with them. When the spinning stopped Cammy and Daisy found themselves at the beach.
Nobody else was there and the tide was just going out and the sand was smooth with out footprints. Cammy found it absolutely eerie. What was going to happen to her and Daisy? What about their bodies? She felt so helpless just hover above the two bodies that were evidently going to fight.
The fight started with just a few flashes of lightning. Blue at first then the black began. The flashes became more and more frequent until everything was a blue and black blur.
Suddenly Cammy was back in her own body and own the ground. She was relived at first but when she looked around she saw Daisy still over her head she panicked. "They both must be in Daisy's body now" Cammy thought rather frightened.
He had jumped into the little girl's body hoping to get an advantage in the battle. All the fighting in one body couldn't go on for too long and eventually the other force would leave, and then he could chase her. That was his strategy.
She decided to jump, for Daisy's sake, even though she knew that it could endanger herself. She was certain that the he would follow her.
Floating in the air she saw him leave her body, then from behind him she saw five flashes of light shooting at him. The dark force went spinning up, over the ocean then disappeared.
The change from not really existing to being in a body just seconds before was inhabited by two strong forces, completely knocked Daisy out.
When she awoke Daisy was lying on the wet beach. She didn't know why she was there, but took Cammy's word that she had just passed out.
Daisy never asked any more questions on what had happened that day on the beach. Cammy meanwhile never forgot what happened, and it haunted her for quite a long time.
He floated out above the water, his energy was gone and he drifted off into another deep sleep. Waiting to be awaken by another strong believing person.
Her and her sisters were pleased with the victory. He had no chance to effect many people, and the world would remain safe until another person awoke the dark force.
