Chapter 1: The next chapter
It had been the first time over a year since the sons of Ipswich had an incident. Chase had vanished without a trace and the boys were happy for that. Spenser Academy had returned to a normal place…or at least to what normal was for them.
Pogue Parry had just got to the Academy; he could tell it was going to start raining at any time now. The clouds above him made him feel that something ominous was going to be heading their way. Pogue turned off his bike and took his helmet off as the first roar of thunder caught in his eardrums. The wind blew his hair and he looked around the grounds. Caleb, Reid and Tyler hadn't arrived just yet and he knew he was probably early. Pogue had gotten the text from Caleb last night asking to meet with him and the others.
Caleb Danvers was the next to arrive. He pulled up in his Mustang next to Pogue's bike. The leader of the group stepped out after killing off the engine. Pogue smiled at him and walked over to him. Caleb could be seen with tiredness in his eyes. He wasn't sleeping too much either because of the issues that were going on. Pogue new it was his fault…or at least he believed that it was. Caleb did the bro-hug with Pogue and the two didn't speak to each other at first. They didn't need to; Caleb and Pogue could tell what the other was thinking without speaking or even using telepathy.
Reid Garwin and Tyler Simms arrived together. Tyler was driving his hummer and Reid was talking about latest lay. Tyler was close to wanting to use the power to take away Reid's voice but he chose not to. Reid would have gotten him right back and that would have pissed Caleb off. Tyler and Reid were closer to each other and that was a fact. Tyler cut the engine and both him and Reid got out.
"C'mon dude it's not even the first day back! Why did we have to meet here of all places?!" Reid whined.
"Reid, shut up. It was the first thing that came to mind. Anyways have either of you been feeling anything or having any weird dreams?" Caleb asked the group.
"I've been waking up around three am the past week. The air felt so damn cold like it was snowing or raining. I just can't explain it honestly". Tyler said quietly.
"For me it feels like the earth is shaking. I wake up screaming thinking that there is an earthquake." Reid added.
"I'm waking up sweating like the room's on fire." Caleb shared.
"For me it's so weird. I get these dreams of a woman with brown hair; I don't get to see the rest of her but I know it's a woman because I heard a playful laugh. It's so foggy that it so easy to miss her. Each time I keep running towards her and the wind was blowing me away from her. I wake up and find myself sitting up in bed. It's been going on for a least a week and it makes me wonder if Chase is back." Pogue admitted.
The sons didn't speak. Just hearing the name of the fifth son made them shiver in fear. Last time Chase Collins was around he nearly killed Caleb's and Pogue's ex-girlfriends Kate and Sarah, he also nearly sent Pogue himself into a coma. Caleb ended up losing Sarah after she called it quits with him. Sarah loved Caleb dearly but she couldn't handle the secret of the sons. She knew that witch hunters and everything else could happen and if something happened to him it would tear her heart a part. Caleb couldn't blame her for that. Yes she was heart-broken but he respected her wishes. As for Pogue you could probably guess why and no it doesn't have to do anything with the Power. Kate and Pogue over the summer break basically were fighting every single day, it made Pogue dive into his work to the point where he shut himself away from the world. He didn't have the heart to break it off with Kate though. Pogue being shut away did upset Kate when they weren't fighting to the point where she broke it off with him. Pogue never showed how he felt about it around the Sons though. He wanted to remain strong but they knew that his world was broken.
"How though?" Reid asked.
"Hell if I know." Caleb replied.
"You said he vanished after the barn episode. What if he left state or the country?" Tyler thought.
"He could have, you know how powerful he is." Pogue said.
"If he was we would have known." Caleb countered.
"Would we though? I mean I wouldn't be surprised if he were stronger." Reid questioned.
"How else would he get more power? We're the only ones with it." Caleb said to Reid.
Pogue knew what was coming next. This was the part where Caleb and Reid would start arguing as always. Tyler rolled his eyes and they were off.
"Did you ever stop and think that maybe there are just more than us with it?" Reid said actually making a point.
"We would know." Caleb replied.
"But isn't that we can tell when it just comes to us," Pogue asked. "I mean are you that sure you can tell when it's not us?"
That made Caleb think right there. Quickly doubt came into his mind and he sighed.
"Yeah you're right. Reid I'm sorry." Caleb apologized.
"All good man!" Reid smiled.
Tyler leaned against the hood of his hummer trying to come up with an idea on why this was happening. The youngest of the group was quiet type and he was smart. He was trying to connect the dots in this. How could Pogue's dreams be effected by the Power.
"What if he's got Precognative dreams? What if this is vision of things to come?" Tyler thought.
"It could be." Caleb said.
"So I could have a new power?" Pogue asked.
Tyler nodded.
"That's all good and dandy but can we get out of here. We got the party to go to later!" Reid whined.
"Reid!" Caleb scolded.
"What?!" Reid asked.
Pogue couldn't help but to chuckle. The thought of him unlocking a new power though made him smile. Hopefully whoever this is was a friend and not a foe. Caleb sighed and agreed that the meeting was over. Reid smiled and jumped into Tyler's hummer and Tyler just shook his head. Caleb walked to his car and Pogue went on his bike. The wind blew his hair but Pogue knew a storm was heading for the sons.
Later that night the sons were meeting up for the annual party. Pogue, Caleb and Tyler were looking down at the party from the cliff top.
"What's up, fellas?" Reid asked.
The three turn around to see Reid walking up to them.
"Where were you? I stopped by to give you a lift." Tyler said to Reid.
"Had things to do. How's the party?" Reid replied.
Reid walked past them and stood on the edge, he looked down at the party.
"Don't know. Just got here." Pogue answered.
"Well, hell, boys. Let's drop in." Reid smirked.
Reid's eyes turned to black as he used the power to safely jump from the cliff to the ground below.
"Oh, shit, yeah." Tyler followed.
Tyler's eyes changed. He walked in front of Pogue and Caleb and put his arms out. He fell backwards with a smirk on his face.
"Tyler!" Caleb scolded.
Pogue moved past Caleb to look down at the two boys.
"Come on, Caleb. It's not like it's gonna kill us...yet." Pogue said to him.
Pogue just jumped down and Caleb rolled his eyes and jumped off. The others waited for him and they started to walk towards the party. Meanwhile though at the party away from everyone else were a group of girls looking out into the distance towards the sons. One of them had black hair that came down to mid back with jade colour eyes. There were two brunettes; the taller of the two had blue eyes while the other had blue-grey ones. Another had blonde hair and brown eyes and the final one had red hair with violet eyes.
"Do you think it was the best idea that Mother sent us to stay here?" The black hair one asked.
"I think so. I mean she did the right thing after those people were coming for us." The short brunette told her.
"I just don't like the idea of leaving her behind though." The blonde spoke up.
"She did what she had to do now we do what we have to." The short one replied.
"Do you think we can?" The Red head asked.
"I know we can." The other brunette answered for the shorter one.
They started to walk to blend into the crowd. The sons made it to the party and Kate and Sarah walked over to them. Yes they may have broken up but they were still friends.
"Hey guys!" Kate smiled.
"Heya Kate sup?" Reid asked.
"Oh nothing just partying with everyone." She replied.
"How was your summer?" Sarah asked.
"Good and quiet for the most part." Caleb informed her.
Sarah smiled and nodded at him. Tyler could see Aaron and Kira near them and he didn't want them near. Kira and Aaron didn't have the best rep around the academy. Reid would say Aaron was a dick and Kira was a bitch. Caleb could agree with him on that no matter how many times they tend to fight. Pogue wished that Aaron and his goons wouldn't get into a fight Tyler and Reid this year. Last year they did and the Provost found out.
"So what's the scoop any new hotties?" Reid asked the two.
"Reid!" Caleb scolded him again.
"Oh c'mon Caleb, I'm single and ready to mingle." Reid winked.
Sarah and Kate laughed, Pogue shook his head and Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Well on the new students, we got five new ones. I heard they're from Europe though. One's Danish, one's Russian, one's French, one's British and the last one is Greek." Kate spilled.
"Are they here?" Caleb asked.
"Not sure to be honest. I don't know what they look like." Sarah replied.
Pogue saw Kira and Aaron walking over to them out of the corner of his eye. He sighed and knew something bad was going to happen. The red head looked over and saw this as well. She knew Aaron and Kira were going to start something. She had overheard him talking smack about the Sons, Kate and Sarah. Yes she didn't know who they were but if it was one thing she hated was bullies. She started to walk away from the other four.
"Rachel!" The short brunette called.
Aaron and Kira with his goons got over to the Sons and Kate and Sarah. A smirk played on their faces.
"So is back for another year. Oh and look it's little two shoes! Really what are you two still hanging around here for?" Kira taunted.
"Hey that's not cool Kira, I think you should apologize to them!" Caleb yelled at them.
Kira laughed.
"Oh Caleb you're so silly. Defending your ex bitch, tell me I bet you two are still sleeping with each other!" Aaron said.
Caleb goes to swing at him but Pogue grabbed him. He shook his head no. Sarah on the other hand was in shock from their words. Aaron glared at the Sons and scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"You posers make me wanna puke." Aaron spat.
"You wanna say that again?" A voice spoke.
Aaron and Kira turned around and Rachel's fist connects to Aaron's face. Aaron stumbled back and Caleb believe it or not used the power causing Aaron to chuck up on Kira. Kira screamed loudly and ran off with Aaron and his goons. Everyone saw this and they cheered. Rachel smirked and turned to the Sons, Sarah and Kate. Rachel smiled at them.
"I hate people like them, just because someone is different doesn't give you a reason to hate. I'm Rachel Rosangela; I'm one of new students from Europe." Rachel said with her English accent popping out.
"Thanks for that, I'm Sarah Wenham."
"I'm Kate Tunney, night right hook."
"Thank you. It's nice to meet you both." Rachel replied.
"And these are the sons of Ipswich; the one behind me is Pogue Parry." Kate started to introduce them.
"It's nice to meet you." Pogue said quietly.
"The blonde is Reid Garwin." Kate continued.
Reid stuck his hand out and Rachel shook it. They both felt a shock pulse through their bodies. They both pulled back.
"Rachel what a sweet sweet name m'lady." Reid smiled.
"Thanks I guess?" Rachel said.
"This is the youngest Tyler Simms." Kate added.
"Hi there." He smiled.
Rachel waved.
"And this is Caleb Danvers." Kate finished.
"Welcome to Spenser's." Caleb said.
"Thank you…um I better go. I'm sorry but the others are waiting for me and it's about to rain." Rachel said excusing herself.
Rachel walked off quickly leaving the others to themselves. Suddenly the rain started to come down and it caused everyone to scatter. The sons look at each other as into say "How did she do that?!".
"Need a ride ladies?" Tyler asked.
"No we're good this year thanks though." Kate said pulling Sarah away with her.
The boys started to walk to Tyler's hummer as the rain started to pour down harder. They were getting soak by the second and no way in hell could they afford getting sick on the first day. Pogue sighed and used the power to keep the rain off them. Tyler got into the driver's seat while Caleb sat shot gun. Pogue and Reid got in the back. Tyler turned the hummer on and started to drive off.
"Reid what the hell happened back there?" Caleb asked.
"With Rachel? I shook her hand and felt a spark go through my body. It's so weird I can't explain it." Reid answered.
"I guess we'll see what happens next in class." Caleb said.
The boys continued to drive off someone was watching them from the treetops as they took Marblehead. There were three people in cloaks looking down at them. And this was just the start of a new chapter for the Sons.
