Chapter One:
In the dim lights and pounding music of the bar, Nikki's, three of the Sons of Ipswich were currently slapping money onto the pool tabletop, placing bets on what kind of underwear the girl leaning against the counter was wearing.
"Blue, cotton." Reid Garwin said with his usual smirk on his face.
"Pink, lace." Tyler Simms slapped his money on the table, leering at the other two with a suggestive look on his face. Quite out of character for someone who was usually a bit more on the shy side.
Pogue Perry slapped his money on the table right over theirs and turned to them with a smirk. "That girl hasn't worn panties since she was twelve." Reid started to call up his Power and his eyes turned ink black, but a girl had stepped in front of the one he was aiming for, and somehow the Power was cancelled. The girl in question was glaring at him with bright sapphire eyes, and he noted that she didn't look like she was from around here, with ebony hair and pale skin.
Reid stared at her open-mouthed until she finally turned her intense glare away and walked up to the barkeeper, speaking in low tones with him. Pogue and Tyler turned to Reid, who was still in shock.
"Dude, what's wrong? Weren't you about to make me a couple bucks richer?" Pogue asked with a confident smirk, but it faded when he realized that Reid was not listening. Following Reid's line of sight, Tyler and Pogue smirked at each other (wow, they do a lot of smirking, don't they?) when they saw it was directed at a beautiful girl, who looked as if she were of Asian descent.
"Oh…I see." Tyler said, nudging Reid slyly. "She's quite the beauty, isn't she?" Reid spluttered -yes, spluttered- and flushed a light pink, before resuming his usual cool demeanour.
"That's not it, you idiots. I tried to use the Power, but that girl, somehow she blocked it, or cancelled it, or something!" Pogue and Tyler looked at each other with skeptic expressions, before turning back to Reid who was trying to protest their simultaneous thoughts on his insanity. "I swear I'm not lying! Try something on her and it won't work!"
Pogue and Tyler agreed, but before they could do anything, the bar was suddenly filled with music from the jukebox. Looking over at the dancing floor, the three Sons saw a smiling, blond-haired Sarah pulling a certain Caleb Danvers, trying to get him to dance with her. Finally, he relented and started to dance.
It was then they realized they were supposed to test the mysterious girl, but it seemed as if she had vanished, seeing as she was nowhere to be found. Looking around frantically, they tried to reassure themselves that she had not been a figment of their imaginations but there was definitely no sign of her. Noticing his 'brothers'' plight, Caleb made his way over to them, leaving Sarah on the dance floor with Kate, Pogue's girlfriend.
"What's wrong?" he asked, seeing their frantic faces, borderline shock.
"That-that-that-" Caleb slapped Tyler upside the head. "-that girl! She disappeared!"
"And she blocked the Power!" Reid hissed in a low voice, his eyes darting from side to side. If Caleb wasn't already paying close attention to the serious conversation he was now.
"Say what?" Caleb hissed, looking at the other two for confirmation. They only shrugged.
"We never saw it, but apparently when Reid tried to use his Power, and the girl just stopped it. I did see her glaring at Reid though." Pogue added thoughtfully. "
"Probably because of what he was going to do to the chick at the counter though." Tyler added, making Caleb glance at the other three who had now adopted sheepish expressions.
"What was he going to do?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. They all lowered their heads a fraction and mumbled something that he couldn't hear. "What?"
"He was going to flipthegirl'." Tyler said the rest of the sentence in a rush, flushing faintly under Caleb's disapproving glare. Reid seemed unfazed by it (he must have grown immunity after being subjected to it so many times) and just resumed his search, scanning the many faces inside the bar.
Suddenly, Reid heard the obnoxious, not to mention horridly annoying voice of no one other than Aaron, who sidled up behind the four with a smirk on his face. "Well, well, well if it isn't the posers. Why don't we have a friendly game of pool? I bet that you can't make that shot." He said, pointing to a set up of pool balls that would be impossible to sink. Reid scoffed and smirked at the gloating Aaron.
"Alright. I'll take your bet." When he made the shot, Aaron loudly accused him of cheating and they stepped outside, almost resorting to blows. But the owner, Nikki, quickly told them to take it somewhere else. Caleb, by now, was furious that Reid had used his Power so carelessly.
"It's addictive you moron." He said, flinging barrels and some tankards at Reid who tried to defend himself. Suddenly, they all stopped and were put on guard when a smooth voice cut into their physical and verbal argument.
"Amazing." The voice, clearly a female whispered. The four boys could not pinpoint where the voice sounded from, much to their chagrin. "It's amazing that you have been able to keep your Powers a secret when you are flaunting them so openly." The voice chuckled darkly, sending shivers down all of their spines. A figure stepped from the shadows and all of the Sons minus Caleb gasped.
"What is it?" he muttered to them.
"It's her! The one that stopped my powers!" Reid muttered back, his hands shaking in shock. She laughed.
"Indeed." She drawled. "You four Sons of Ipswich should be careful. You never know who could be listening." She said, her stormy sapphire eyes glittering as she stared at a certain window where a certain Chase Collins reeled back in shock. There was no way that girl could have known he was listening, right?
"Who are you?" Caleb asked in a commanding voice. "What do you want from us?"
The girl laughed once again. "Why, I want nothing. You four just happen to be the most interesting thing I have stumbled across in a long time."
"So we're basically your entertainment?" Pogue asked, his eyebrow ticking in annoyance. The girl chuckled once again, raising an eyebrow in amusement to his annoyance.
"Basically." With that, she melted back into the shadows and was gone before the four Sons even had a chance to open their mouths, let alone try to stop her.
"Well…wasn't that interesting?" Reid drawled, his interest peaked.
The next day…
Things were relatively normal at Spencer Academy. The sun was shining, Caleb was talking to Pogue about the dead kid on the papers and how he had appeared in his car as a 'darkling' someone had sent him. Well, Pogue was actually sneaking jealous glances at Kate who was talking to Chase with a big smile on her face. Tyler was just joking around with Reid, watching Reid flirt with various girls. Suddenly Kyra, Aaron's girlfriend, walked into the classroom with a huge scowl on her face.
The four Sons listened in with half an ear, wanting to know what pissed Kyra off so bad. Maybe they'd learn a few things. They watched amusedly as Kyra's face turned red with anger and she hissed to her boyfriend that there was a new transfer student. That still didn't explain anything but when the teacher walked in, everyone quieted.
"Alright, we have a new student. Please give a warm welcome to Ms. Kagome Higurashi." The four Sons' eyes widened. The woman from the bar, who had mysteriously appeared and blocked Reid's Power had just stepped into the classroom.
She grinned mischievously and scanned the classroom. Many boys were either leering at her obvious…ahem, assets while the other boys were just blushing.
"Nice to meet you all." She said smoothly, her eyes lingering on the four who had peaked her own interest.
