Roxanne's P.O.V

Getting off the plane, I wondered who would be in the airport waiting for me. I was wearing a black tank top that showed the white bandages covering my upper body from my chest down to my waist, a pair of dark blue faded baggy jeans, black combat boots and a striped black and white hoodie. As I limped towards where my luggage was, I became aware of people watching me, couldn't blame them really. I was a mess after what happened, but tried to cover it up with my clothes – it obviously wasn't working.

After getting my cases, which were one of the first ones out, I walked towards the arrival waiting area and scanned the crowd.

"Roxy?" shouted a male voice from somewhere to the left of me, my mind was quickly cast back to a dark, rainy night a girl running and being chased.

I opened my eyes and shook my head trying to clear it of those terrifying images, pushing the luggage trolley towards the four boys standing near the doors. My brother, Pogue, smiled at me while the others stared. As soon as I got close enough, he pulled me to him and hugged me.

"Too tight," I said, muffled by the leather of his biker jacket.

"Pogue, I don't think she can breathe," the eldest, Caleb Danvers, laughed out.

Pogue released me and I looked up at him and narrowed my eyes.

"Dearest brother, would you mind telling me what in the name of hell possessed you to bring them here today?" I whispered darkly to him, he took a step back and raised his hands defensively.

"You think I could've stopped them?"

"Not a chance," answered the blonde, Reid hadn't really changed that much, except that he had grown a hell of a lot; they all had.

"You make it sound as though you're not happy to see us, Roxy?" questioned Tyler; he always was the sweet one.

"I'm not, I was hoping that no one would have to know about this," I sighed and smiled. "But I missed you guys so much I don't really care, come here idiots I wanna hug."

I hugged them all.

"Well, I feel incredibly small compared to you guys," I said, which made them laugh and me smile. One thought ran through my head – I'm home.

We piled into Tyler's hummer after the boys had looked over all the injuries I had – well, the ones that they could see anyway.

"You guys didn't have to do this," I whispered to them quietly, as I sat in between Pogue and Caleb in the back, they turned to look at me.

"We wanted to," Caleb answered simply, as I frowned.

"So what other damage is there?" asked Reid from the front, my head snapped up.

"What do you mean 'other damage'?" I asked nervously, he raised an eyebrow and stared waiting for my answer. "Three broken ribs, cuts and bruises everywhere else, a sprained ankle and then there's where he stabbed me, that's it really. Except mentally." I looked down again, trying not to remember what else there was, but they didn't need to hear that.

Pogue wrapped his arm around me and I leaned into him "I'm sorry, Roxy, so sorry," he said fiercely.

I kissed his cheek and shook my head. "Not your fault it's his, don't blame yourself or I'll just have to hurt you," I muttered, aware everyone was listening.

"So they never caught the asshole that did this?" asked Reid.

"No, wasn't enough evidence apparently like the blood, teeth marks, bruises and fingerprints weren't enough," I growled.

Reid's P.O.V

I noticed the bruises and cuts at the airport and Tyler told me he could see the bandages, looking at the pain in the eyes of the girl I've been in love with since forever was so painful I couldn't describe it. And now listening to the 'full' extent of her injuries was killing me. Trying to control the sudden urge to kill the person who did this to her was taking all and more of my will power. I could tell that this was something more than she was telling us, trying to protect us as usual; I frowned and watched, as she shivered and closed her eyes in pain.

"Roxy, are you ok?" I asked, concerned.

"Yeah I'm good, just stings a little is all, my drug supply is in my bag," she stated with a small grin.

Pogue's jaw clenched and he glared out the window, I didn't need to use my power to know that he was trying to also control the urge to go out and hunt the bastard that did this.

"So what's new with you guys?" she asked, opening her beautiful emerald colored eyes.

"Not much, it's been pretty boring since you left but now you're back, we can have some fun," I smirked at her and she smirked back.

"Hell yeah! You know it, so what else is new?"

"Well, your brother has a girlfriend," Tyler laughed from the driver's seat, which made me laugh, as I knew what was coming.

She turned on him.

"You had a girlfriend all this time and you didn't tell me?" she hissed at him like a pissed off snake, he smiled nervously and looked at Caleb for help, he shook his head.

"Sorry, bro, but I can't help you with this one," he stated, laughing.

"Well, there was never a good time, but you'll meet her if you come to the end of summer beach party tonight with us?"

She looked scared for a minute and then folded her arms and leaned forward near me, my heart feels like it's trying to jump out of my chest.

"I'll be there, but you're not forgiven yet, until I meet her," she smiled and poked him in the chest as the rest of us laughed. "So how many other people know about … about … what happened to me?" she asked in a small voice.

"Well, the families know and some of the people from the school, don't worry though."

She nodded and took her cell phone out of her hoodie pocket and switched it on.

"Wow, I knew she was paranoid, but I didn't realize she was this bad," I said, as I watched her mutter to her phone.

Roxanne's P.O.V

Turning my phone on probably wasn't the greatest idea, 39 missed calls, 22 texts and 17 voicemails. She's insane, finally gone off the deep end, sighing I replied to some of her text's:

Hey I told you I'd call you once I got home, no need to stalk me lol, I'm with my body guards now remember? You can relax now and I'll call you later. Love Roxy xxxx.

I shut the phone and looked out the window.

"Nearly there now, looks like it's gonna rain," announced Tyler.

"Lovely, now the weather hates me, too," I muttered sarcastically, which made the boys laugh.

Pulling up to the huge house that was filled with memories, I began to get nervous. I guess it showed because Pogue held my hand and squeezed it slightly. "It's going to be fine," he said, trying to reassure me.

I nodded and slowly struggled out of the car, not wanting to bang my injuries on anything. Standing there looking at the front door was making me even more nervous.

"Maybe I should just go wait in the car for now," I said lightly and turned back towards Tyler's car.

Reid laughed and caught my hand in his. "Come on, Roxy, your mom's waiting for you in there."

"I know," I whispered. "I don't want her to see me like this, just like I didn't want you guys to see me like this."

"What else aren't you telling us Rox, what does your mother know that we don't?" asked Tyler.

I didn't want them to know but it was going to be brought up sooner or later, I took in a deep breathe and looked at my hand that was clenched in Reid's.

"The guy that did this didn't just hurt me; he did some things, but didn't get that far. You four are about the only members of the male population I'm not terrified of," I confessed and just kept looking at Reid's hand.

"You mean he tried to rape you?" asked Reid softly, but harshly. I nodded and let a few silent tears run down my face, which he brushed away with his other hand. "No one is going to touch you now so let's go inside so you can see the rest of our 'family', ok?"

I nodded slowly and Reid started to pull me along in the awkward silence that had engulfed the boys since my little confession. As Tyler opened the door, I was greeted with the smell of cookies – my mom, obviously. I smiled and limped my way into the kitchen to see my mom looking out the window.

"Hello, mother," I said quietly, which made her turn around in shock.

"Oh my god, my baby you're home," she said and ran straight at me with her arms open.

I was nearly knocked over when she crashed into me and wrapped her arms around me crying on my shoulder.

"My little girl," she whispered into my shoulder.

I started crying right after she said that "Mom, I'm sorry, so, so sorry I wasn't strong enough," I sobbed back.

Pogue's P.O.V

My mom never told me that the bastard tried to rape my little sister as well, now I could hardly contain my rage, as I looked over at her limping through the house towards the kitchen with Reid holding her hand.

"Hey man, you ok?" asked Caleb.

"No one told me and I couldn't protect her, Caleb, she's my little sister! It's what I'm supposed to do and I failed!" I confessed.

He shook his head. "Pogue, it's not your fault and if she heard what you were saying now she'd kick your ass, she's strong. And she's got us to help her through it," he argued with me.

"But you saw her, Caleb. She's a mess! Not just physically, but mentally as well. Whatever this guy did, he hurt her bad."

He nodded, agreeing with me. "And that's exactly why she needs us now more than ever, especially her big brother," he stated calmly, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, thanks Caleb … do you think Reid still has a crush on her?" I asked him, frowning ever so slightly.

"Yes, it's clear to see, but he won't hurt her. He only started being the way he is now after she left," Caleb shot out quickly, while I shook my head and grinned.

"Seriously, could he have made it anymore obvious? Plus I think she likes him and I can't think of anyone better for her to be with, but if he does hurt her, I'll kill him," I remarked.

I nodded and Tyler came into the hallway where we stood.

"Hey, you guys ok?" he asked.

"Yeah we're fine, how is she?" I asked.

"Well, your mom kinda threw herself on her and they both started crying, but now she is sat down eating the cookies your Mom made her," he laughed out.

This made me smile.

"Hey!" Roxy shouted from the kitchen. "That's mine give it back or you won't get your present!" she added.

We all walked into the kitchen and saw Reid smirking while eating a cookie with Roxy, reaching over him trying to grab it.

"You'll give me my present anyway 'cause you love me."

"Not damn likely," she muttered, hitting the back of his head and looking at us. "Guys, Reid's eating my cookies and being mean to me." She whined, whilst smirking at him.

"Now, now, Reid, you know you can't steal her cookies," retorted Tyler in a mocking stern voice.

"Ha, it don't matter, Ty, I licked that one, anyway," she said, grinning at Reid who shook his head.

"So did I hear something about presents?" he asked, standing up.

She nodded and got really excited which made me smile.

"There in my red kitty suitcase, I think."

And she went past us into the hallway to retrieve it, trying to pull it along. She was wincing in pain.

"Drop that suitcase now," I said, as I walked up to her.

She put a hand on her ribs. Reid came over as soon as he saw her hand.

"You ok? And don't try to downplay it this time," he said, concern written on his face.

"Fine, just forgot is all. Pogue, can you bring my case into the kitchen, please?"

"Sure, now go and sit down."

Roxanne's P.O.V

I leaned on Reid, as I entered the kitchen, still holding my ribs.

"What's wrong?" asked Tyler, as he sat down beside me.

"Nothing, just banged my side, that's all," I answered, as Pogue walked in with the case.

I hoped they liked what I got them. I opened the lock with one of the keys in my pocket and opened it with all of them looking over my shoulder.

"Don't worry this is just the first present," I said and reached for the four books each with the boys' names on. "Ty, here's yours … Reid, you better read it! Here you go, big brother … and last, but definitely not least, Caleb."

I said this while handing each of them their books.

"Mom, I got you a present, too," I sang and grabbed the long box with a royal blue bow on it and gave it too my mother.

"Aww! Thank you, sweetie!" she cooed and kissed my forehead.

She opened the box and gasped.

"Roxanne Raven Parry, is this real?" she asked, looking at the necklace I had bought her.

"Yep, all of it is real," I stated proudly. "Do you like it?"

When she looked up, she had tears coming down her face. I jumped up and stood at her side.

"Mom, I'm sorry! Don't cry! I thought you would like it and … and …"

I looked at the boys for help who just stood there staring at the necklace in my mother's hand. When she launched herself at me again, she was sobbing hysterically. "It's beautiful honey, I love it so much, but where did you get it?" she asked through tears.

"I know it's beautiful. I wanted to give you something that shows how I see you and don't worry about it."

The necklace was a gold chain with a large diamond hanging from it cut in the shape of a star, but inside the diamond there was an angel made from topaz.

"'Cause you're my guardian angel, Mom," I whispered to her and smiled, as she sat down, putting it around her neck.

"Thank you, honey," she said and I went and sat on Reid's knee and he wrapped his arms around my waist loosely.

"Sooo do you like your first presents?" I asked the guys.

"Where did you find all of this?" asked Caleb and I smiled.

"I met a very interesting group of people back in England that knew a lot about you guys and a little interesting fact about myself," I answered, shrugging.

"You mean there are other covenants still in England?" asked Caleb.

I just nodded. "Yeah, but I'm not allowed to talk about them without the other members here, so sorry."

He nodded and again my phone started ringing again and I sighed and stood up answering my phone.

"Y'know, if you keep this up, I'm gonna have to have a restraining order put on you," I stated.

"Roxanne, this is important, I had a vision the guy that attacked you is coming back. I'm coming to live with you for a while, so don't panic and you have my permission to tell your family about us," my best friend stated seriously for once.

I had gone white and stood stiff as a board. "Are you sure?" I asked her in a quiet voice.

"Have I ever been wrong before?" she asked rhetorically.

"Fine, when will you be here?"

"I should be there tomorrow night, don't go out without one of the others with you."

"Ok, I'll see you then … are you sure you want me to explain it to them?"

You could have heard her sigh from the other end of the phone. "Yes, we don't have a choice now, you would have had to tell them sooner or later when you got your powers anyway … I gotta go got packing to do and be safe. Bye!"
