It was only my second day back in Ipswich and Mrs. Parry wanted me to look over Peyton and Lux cause she had to go out of town. Peyton is Pogue's sister, Lux is Reid's sister, and of course you could tell because they both acted like them. I knew them before I left, they were only five. Now they are ten, and I keep asking what I got myself into.

It was a school day, but I wasn't going to go until next week, so I got up to get ready anyways. Taking a nice warm shower to make myself less nervous. Not nervous to see Mrs. Parry. No, we kept in touch over the years, but I was scared to see the guys. My guys, well at least they were. Don't think you could every really get over leaving your best friends without a reason. I guess I will have to tell them why, cause its going to happen sooner or later…right? Sliding on my ripped jeans and a Spencer shirt, I walked down stairs to eat my breakfast.

Taking in the last thirty minutes I have, I did my make up and threw my hair up into a sloppy bun. Putting on a pair of boots as I said my good byes and headed to Mrs. Parry's house. Everyone was already at school so I wouldn't run into them. Neither would I after school, because I have to pick up Peyton and Lux. Oh joy.

The house looked the same as it did when I was younger. It was always my second home, and no matter what happens it will always be. Home has tons of meanings. Comfort and protection is what this house is. From Mrs. Parry's hugs to the wonderful members I had here, and hope to keep having.

"Here I go…." I mutter as I turn off the car, heading for the door slowly, then knocking.

A older woman answered the door. Standing a couple inches taller then me, with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. I knew who it was right off the bat.

" Hey Mrs. Parry." I smiled.

"Oh, my dear Melanie, how good it is to see you, come in, come in." She said giving a hug.

I felt like home when I was at my house, but this was nothing like that, I was in heaven. This was my heaven. If dad and mom were fighting I would ride my bike down here and hang out. Whatever day, week, month, if you couldn't find me, I would be here.

"Now Melanie, I must be on my way, the girls get out at three, and your money is in the kitchen, on the table."

"Mrs. Parry, please…." I said before I was interrupted.

"Melanie, please call me Elizabeth."

"Well, Elizabeth, you didn't have to pay me."

"None since my dear, you are a part of this family!" She said

Only Dad, Mrs. Parry, and me would actually know what she mean by "you part of this family". That some how I'm like the boys. I have powers, and I couldn't age, not like the boys. That's what happened to Mr. Danvers and Mr. Parry, and I would not let that happen to them. I will be watching over them, maybe when the time comes, I will tell them, but until then I'm still Melanie. Well kind of.

"Well thanks, I will call you or Pogue if anything happens." I said as I loaded the car and sent her on her way. It was now eleven forty-seven, and I had until three. What am I suppose to do?

Since I had to stay the whole weekend, I brought my bags so I wouldn't have to go from house to house and leave the girls by themselves. After I took my bags up to the guest room, I went into the living room and flipped through the channels, stopping at Spongebob SquarePants, yes I did say Spongebob. Getting bored I let my eyes roam the room, landing on the mantel where a familiar picture laid. It was a picture of the guys and me at Caleb's house. It was the day Reid gave me my black heart necklace to say he was sorry. He scared me so much, I didn't talk to him for weeks. I told him I would never take it off. I kept my promise, because I still wear today.

Wasting the rest of my time on some sappy love story. Leaving at two forty-five, I head to pick but up Peyton and Lux. I got lost a couple of times, but then I remembered it was like fifteen miles from Spencer. Thinking of Spencer, I need to move my stuff in Sunday, and thanks to Provost and my dad, I got my own room.

We headed back home after heading to the movie store and the grocery store. Praying that the boys wouldn't be home yet, and thanking God and everyone cause they weren't. Peyton and Lux did their homework, then turned on the movies as I made treats. It was a Friday night and we could stay up as long as we wanted, well not very long. I made popcorn and other treats, letting them have whatever they wanted. I mean isn't that what a good babysitter does? It's everyone's dream to have unlimited supply of snacks while they watched their favorite movie, and their favorite movie just had to be Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I blame it all on Pogue and Reid. They always watching horror movies, I mean I love them, but seriously, who walks into a dark room. Just let the bad guy get to you faster. Stupid.

"This is so stupid, I mean would you walk into the dark if 'He' was behind you?" I asked peyton.

"No…"

"Then why are we watching this?"

"Are you scared Mel?" Lux asked.

"Um…no. I'm not scared."

I was actually really scared, cause this was the first time for me to watch it. I finally got into the movie, but when all the lights go off while watching a scare movie, this huge house isn't the place you really want to be. It was defiantly not storming outside, so I figured that Pogue and Reid were just playing a joke on us. Until I really thought about it, the facts hit me, and my stomach sank. Caleb would never let Pogue and Reid do that, nor would Pogue even think about it. Even with a complete stranger in the house.

"Peyton… Lux.." I whispered to them as I let the power consume me. Leaving me in the dark.

"Mel, what's happening?" Lux cried out.

" Ssh, now listen, I want you to hide and don't come out until I tell you to, do you hear me." They ran off to find a hiding spot as I walked around the house, searching for someone or something, but I didn't find anything. I walked back into the living room about to find the girls, when I froze. There, standing in the middle of the floor was Chase Collins. I thought Caleb got rid of him, but it didn't matter, I needed to get the girls out of here. I change back, letting the power go. Hoping to not be seen as a threat, cause I didn't really feel like getting hurt. Again.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here…" He slowly stood up, circling me" .. Melanie Park."

" I think you should leave Chase, there is nothing here for you." I said, letting thelittle courage I have left, come into my voice.

"Oh yes, there is actually something I need." His fingers sliding down my arms giving me chills.

"You already took my mother, what more do you want?"

"Well all of us really wanted to find you"

"All of us!" There is more. How could there be more. There was never more in a horror movie. Which I'm in right now.

"Caleb, Pogue, Reid, Tyler.." He yelled. " Lets show Melanie how much we have missed her."

I was some how hoping that there were four boys that had the same names, but no. It was the famous 'Sons of Ipswich', standing in front of me, staring me down. What is happening?!

"Caleb…Pogue… what are you doing here?" my voice shaking. They wouldn't hurt me, I knew that.

"How could you do this to us, Melanie? How could hurt us like this?" Tyler said.

" Tyler, you know that I would never hurt you. Any of you." I answered, walking towards him, showing them I'm not going to hurt them. Next thing I knew was that I was being thrown across the room into a wall. A gut wrenching crack sounded as I landed on my arm when I hit the ground. Gasping as I feel my hair being pulled to look up at the boys.

"See my precious Melanie, you can either fight with us, or die." Chase whispered in my ear.

"I will never fight for you." my voice pained.

"As you wish…"That voice was so familiar, but I didn't know which one said it. Until Pogue walked forward, energy ball in hand. Then he let it go.

"No!" I screamed. Feeling my world end before I got a second chance.
