Hey guys, I'm finally back. It's been what, three years since I last posted a fic, figured now is the perfect time. This fic has actually been in the works for two years, but I never really liked where it was going. But now, I've begun tweaking it, and I'm happy to say that this is the final installment of my So Weird Fan Fiction.
I always wondered what would happen if Rick didn't just die in a car crash- if maybe someone wanted to stop him from doing his paranormal research. This is my take on the workings of the paranormal realm, past what one would see on the show.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the So Weird characters. The only things I own are Kat, Marie, Ben & Greg. The ideas and concepts are my own, with the exception of the Dark and Light, which were heavily influenced by Susan Cooper's the Dark is Rising series.
Onto the story!
----- Prologue -----
Two women stood in front of a forest. The older one had her had on the other's shoulder, both staring at a cabin in the background.
"You're doing the right thing."
"Doesn't feel like it." The younger one stated her green eyes full of sadness. "I feel like I'm throwing them all to the wolves."
"They need to learn to defend themselves- you won't always be there."
"They could learn that without me having to leave them Marie." Shrugging the other's hand off her shoulder, the younger woman bit her lip, twirling a ring around nervously on her finger.
"We have to go now." A male stated, causing both women to jump.
"Give her a minute." Marie, the older woman said softly, walking towards the man. "This hasn't been easy on her Greg."
"It's never easy." Greg replied and for a moment a look of sympathy flickered across his face. "Kat, let's go. The longer you stay the harder this will be."
Katrina turned to glare at him and opened her mouth to snap something when a group of scattered flashlight beams tore through the forest. Her green eyes widened and she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Now can we go?" Without receiving a verbal answer, Greg grabbed his friend's arm and began to pull her from the area. "It's for the best Kat, I promise."
- Two Weeks Later –
A brown haired woman stood at a doorway, knocking impatiently. Finally someone called for her to come into the office and she smiled. She opened the door and paused until an older blonde haired woman beckoned her further in.
"Well?" The blonde didn't look up from her paperwork, jotting furiously on a pad.
"He fell for it." The brunette said, smiling to herself. The blonde woman stopped what she was writing, looking up at her in interest.
"He saw you?" The blonde woman returned the smile, her blue eyes twinkling. "Good girl." She stated when the brunette nodded.
"He was depressed- said his fiancé left him." The brunette grinned. "Couldn't understand why she left, he thought she loved him… blah, blah, blah." The blonde laughed, rolling her eyes.
"Perfect. It won't be long until he turns around. With that girl out of his life, he'll need some comforting… you'll be the perfect replacement." The brunette smiled, nodding. "You know what you have to do right?"
"Get to know him again, make him feel comfortable around me- Make his friend's trust me again." The brunette rattled off her tasks sounding almost bored with the task. "Do you really think this will work? Do you think he'll fall back in love with me?"
"Trust me dear… Things will work out perfectly. You'll get your man back and the dark can have the souls they've waited too long for." The blonde grinned, leaning back into her chair. "Now go practice or something- your not getting paid just to look pretty."
"Sorry." The brunette stood quickly, walking towards the door. "You know, I had my doubts Evelyn… but this might actually work." Evelyn nodded, shooing the girl from the office. When the brunette was finally gone, she turned back to her paperwork, but then decided against it. Grabbing her phone, she punched in numbers quickly.
"It's me. He's fallen for it. We're going to have to wait a while, let them feel safe… but this is going to work. It's genius really… I'm going to hit them at their heart."
