A lone, desolate church stood between two Valley's in an abandoned part of Wales, although a town existed about 6 miles away, the church was unknown to all in that town, maybe in the whole of Wales, even. Well, extruding 11 youths that used the church for their of cult purposes of course.

Three persons clad in black and red sat, talking hurriedly amidst a busy cafe full of busy people, the trio recieved many looks, mostly discriminating ones, but the youths didn't care at all, they were who they wanted to be.

"Come on Simon! It'll be fun...Duke wants you to come anyway...You said you were into this stuff anyway..." One of the three, a girl, commented. "Argh...Shelly, I'm getting confused now...Why do people keep changing their names??? One minute I'm Simon, which IS my name...I think. heh. And then I'm Rookie, then Newbie...What next??" Simon, the only male there, replied frustratedly. The other girl, Kali, sighed.

"Look Si, you-" "THERE you go again!!! Now it's Si!!" Simon cut in. Kali gave Simon a glare that could split rock in two, he quickly shut up.

"Thankyou...now. Duke, you see, wants to start a coven, and we need twelve members...But, one of those members has to be an outer entity, such as a demon or a guardian animal that will protect us and lead us in the general direction...But, currently we only have eleven member and we were thinking...."

"...That I could be the eleventh? Kali, remember that I'll be the youngest, I'm only 14 and I'm not that powerful, why would you need me?" Simon protested, taking a sip from his milkshake carefully so he didn't smear his black lipstick all over it.

"Because, unlike in most of us, Duke has seen something powerful inside of you that could prove helpful in the upcoming overworld wa-" Kali was silenced by a chilling glare from Shelly. Simon was surprised and confused. Surprised at the fact of what Kali had just said about what Duke thought of him, and confused at why she had stopped so suddenly.

"Yeah, but I hardly know anyone, I've only met Duke twice, atleast I know now why you two would suddenly disappear...." He sighed, finally just giving up.

"Fine...I'll come...But I still don't get all this name mumbo jumbo..." He stated...Suddenly looking very stressed and tired as the two girls started giggling and bouncing up and down on the seats they were seated at.

"Oy....I need a cigarette...." He groaned, slumping his head in his hands.

Half a dozen motorbikes and an old mini made their way over the harsh country, the old road had been taken over by weeds, grass and bushes, a few trees littered their country path too, young and old. The bikes had been illegally tampered with to produce much less sound, so a low purring was all you heard, and the group were only a mile away from the lonely church currently.

The biker ahead of the group proudly revved his engine and called over his shoulder to his new friend ; "It may be old and it may be crumbling, but it serves its purpose!" He then chuckled and gradually slowed to a stop, the other 5 bikes stopping or skidding to a close behind him, and the mini virtually flew over a bump and spun around three times before stopping, the three dazed, and particularly plastered* people inside either clambered (or fell, rather) out through a window or fell out of the door, one particularly paranoid stoner squealed when she thought the door handle was gnawing at her hand and quickly scrambled out through the rather small sun-roof, and falling over the hood of the car and hit the floor, laughing insanely, in which the rest of the group joined in, apart from the hesitant new addition to the group, who joined in...Eventually.

The head biker turned to the new guy, and put up his hands to the rest of the group to signal silence. "Now...Just incase you have forgotten our names little boy...I'd just like to remind you...I'm Astor. There are six girls and seven boys...Do not forget that. Rank here is based on how powerful you are, and I, of course, and the most powerful and dominant male, the most powerful and dominant female here is Raven, she's already gone inside by the looks of it..."Astor paused and looked around, about five people had already entered the church.

"Come, I'll explain everything and introduce you to everyone inside...." The intimidating teen smiled sharply at the newbie, and guided him inside, and the others followed him inside, chatting and laughing amongst themselves. As they approached the huge oak doors, Astor knocked 6 times in a strange sequence, and the doors were opened, the newbie saw who by when he walked in with the others. Two people, a girl and a boy were stood by the entrance, up in a ten foot tower, each side of the door, that was barely scraping the halfway mark to the second floor. "Yes...They are the Gate-keepers. They have the keenest eyes and ears out of all of us, and they alert us of danger. I can tell you are keen to learn more, but first...We must start your trials to ensure us that you're one of us...Don't worry, young one. It justs tells us your REAL name, not your pathetic christian name...Satan himself re-names you." Astor let out a chilling laugh that echoed for what seemed forever. "You are...REBORN"
