Hey everyone! So this is my second story and I know a lot of my readers are waiting for a sequel to my previous story and I promise it is coming. I hope to start posting it sometime soon. But this is just a story that came to me, it probably won't be all that long but I hope you enjoy all the same. Please review! I value your opinions. Thanks! I hope you enjoy!


Aaron Abott, that boy can be such a prick sometimes, but I loved him all the same, that is until tonight. I guess we were never really officially together, but we hung out all the time in public and did other things in private that no one ever knew about. We had never gone out on a date, or done any of the normal things a couple would do. But I was just fine with that, I wasn't a relationship type girl anyway. Besides, that kept my options open if I ever found someone I loved more than Aaron, even though I didn't see that happening any time soon. That was until I found out what he had just agreed too.

"Aaron, what in the hell do you think you are doing? There is no way in hell I'm going to let you do this."

"Oh come on babe, it's no big deal. I'm going to win so there won't be any harm done."

"Except for maybe my reputation. Besides you're missing the fact that you, nor anyone, own me to put me up for stakes in a bet." I was so pissed that Aaron thought he could get away with this. I guess that's what I get for falling for a guy like him. I looked over at Reid Garwin and he was smirking as he talked to Tyler Simms.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at Aaron "Besides, what could you possible get from this that would make losing me worth it?"

"Babe, I can't lose what I don't have."

I took his hand "Of course you have me; you have me anytime you want and you know it."

He pulled his hand from my grip; he wasn't one for pda, at least not with me. "No, that's not it. I can't openly have you because your Parry's cousin. I can't kiss you in public, or drape my arm around you without the threat of having my arm ripped off by one of the sons.

I was confused. "What are you talking about? Of course you can. They can't say shit, they don't own me either and I can do whatever I want, with whom ever I want."

"Tell that to them love. Every guy in school knows you're off limits. Why do you think I'm ok with not telling anyone about us?"

"You're serious aren't you? I can't believe them. Who do they think they are?" I hated them more than ever. Sure, I might be related to Pogue but that didn't give him the right to tell guys to stay away from me. He wasn't my father or my brother so what gave him or any of them the right?

The four of them had made my life a living hell since we were kids, they were always trying to look out for me and be big brothers and I never wanted that. They would make sure I was sheltered all the time and I never got to do anything remotely dangerous as a kid. Now usually that's not a reason to say they made my life a living hell, but it just got to the point where I couldn't handle it. They never left me alone and they wouldn't let other kids be friends with me. I never understood it, and they never gave me a reason.

Eventually my parents and I moved away. Apparently they had gotten into a huge fight with the family and decided they were no longer welcome in Ipswich. I had just turned 12 when we moved away, which meant the boys were about to turn 13. That was the last time I had seen or talked to anyone from there.

However, when I was only 15 my parents died in a car accident. I had been in the car with them but somehow managed not to be hurt too bad. I got away with a broken leg and some stitches on my forehead. My parents were the only family I had other then Pogue and his parents. So to everyone's disappointment I went to my Aunt and Uncle. I never understood why they didn't just send me off to an orphanage; I guess maybe they felt bad about the fight that had taken place, so they felt responsible to take me in. But I could tell they didn't want me there anymore then I wanted to be there. They all seemed afraid of me for some reason, always watching their backs when I was around and hardly ever taking their eyes off me.

The first year I lived with them I tried to run away constantly. Unfortunately the guys would always manage to find me before I got too far. Then on my 16 birthday it all changed.

I had grown up hearing stories from my parents about the powers that run through our blood line. They always assured me that I had nothing to worry about being a female. It was rare for there to be a female born first into a family and since my dad was the younger of him and my uncle they didn't think the power could even pass through him because he didn't have it. Plus, Pogue being born before me, should have had the power for the family. But no one was sure how it would work, females didn't get the power and so when I turned 13 and nothing happened they figured for sure that I would be fine.

However, my parents forgot to inform me that when the power was passed to a female, she could show signs at anytime without warning and that she doesn't necessarily get a taste at 13 like the males do and then full powers once turning 18. I didn't find out this last bit of information till after it had already happened.

It was my 16th birthday and I had just gotten into a fight with someone up at the house so I was standing in the back yard by myself when it happened. I received my powers all at once and it was the most excruciating pain I had ever felt and ever care to feel again. I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on my worst enemy. After it happened I was freaking out big time, I didn't know how to control it, all the energy running through my body. It scared the hell out of me, and I had to turn to the one person I swore I would never ask for help, my Uncle. But alas, he was the only one that could help me; none of the guys had even gone through what I had gone through. Sure they have their small amount that they got at 13 but they couldn't even imagine what it was like. My uncle helped me a lot and I finally understood why they had always had their eyes on me. They didn't know when I was going to receive my powers and they couldn't afford exposure. That's why they had insisted on home schooling me instead of letting me attend Spenser like the guys.

One good thing that came out of getting my powers like I did was that I didn't have a chance to get addicted to them before they stared harming me like the guys did. I didn't really have a taste for it, so I don't see the point in throwing my life away using them to do stupid stuff. I had a better chance at staying alive then they did, I just had to remember to keep my temper in check because that is the one time I have the most trouble controlling them.

I also found out that night that my powers had been why my parents had left. They wanted me to have a normal child hood. They never believed that I would have powers of my own like my uncle did. He wanted to shelter me but my parents wouldn't let him, so instead he had told the boys at a young age to do it for him. I understood where he came from, but unfortunately they damage was already done between us and I couldn't bring myself to be nice to them, and I still can't stand them.

My birthday being in June, I talked my uncle into letting me attend Spenser for the next two years. I was a year ahead thanks to the home schooling so would be in the same grade as the boys and would be in the top of the class. The guys were super pissed about it and didn't want me anywhere near Spenser. I think mainly because they didn't want to have to put up with the constant questions about me. But to my great happiness and their annoyance come August I had been enrolled at Spenser.

And so here we were, the summer before senior year sitting in Nicky's with the dilemma of the bet.
