Madi leaned against the front gate. Pogue pulled in.

"She's faster, I surrender." He said as Caleb stepped off the bike. Madi winked at Pogue.

"You knew I was faster, Pogo stick." She said.

"Thanks for the ride man." Caleb said as Pogue stuck his tongue out at Madi.

"No problem, call me in the morning." He said. Madi stuck her tongue out at Pogue. He took off.

"Mother's still awake." Madi said. Caleb looked away.

**********************************************************************************

"I'll handle her. You go on to bed." He said…

Madi looked around in the fog. A figure stood before her. She felt the chill.

"Madi, Madi, Madi. You know who I am. I know you do." The figure spoke. Madi gulped.

"Chase." She said.

"Tell anyone and Reid dies." He said, showing himself. Madi took a step back. She fought the urge to scream…

Madi shot up. Nightmare, just a nightmare. Someone was using. Caleb knocked on her door.

"Did you feel it?" He asked.

"Someone's using, Cale. Big." She said. Caleb crashed in her room that night…

**************************************************************************************

Madi stormed into Reid and Tyler's room. She slammed Reid against the wall. He looked down at her shocked.

"Madison. If you want me, you're welcome to me." He teased, licking his lips. Madi rolled her eyes. She leaned on her toes and kissed him. He lifted her up. She put her lips at his ear.

"Did you Use last night?" She asked, as he kissed her neck.

"No." He breathed. Tyler flung the door open. Madi jumped off Reid. She giggled, nervously. Her phone went off. She looked at the caller id.

"Cale, what's up?" She asked.

'I saw a darkling.' He said.

"Who'd send you a darkling?" She quizzed.

'Pogue asked the same thing.' Caleb said. Madi sat on Reid's bed.

"I'll see you at Nicky's tonight, tell me there." She told Caleb.

'Make sure Reid and Tyler are with you.' Caleb said, hanging up. Reid hovered over her.

"We have to meet Cale and Pogue at Nicky's." She said. Tyler looked her over.

"You wearing that?" He asked. Madi looked down at her skirt and sweatshirt. Well Reid's swim sweatshirt.

"Is that a problem?" She asked. Tyler shook his head.

"Not at all, Madi, unless we run into Aaron and Bordy." He said.

"They'll leave her alone." Reid hissed. "Let's take the Hummer." He took Madi's hand and pulled her under his arm and kissed her head. Tyler laughed.

"About time, you two." He stated. Madi stuck her tongue out at him…

Aaron stared at Madi as she lined the cue ball up with the eight ball. Reid hovered over her.

"Want me to teach you how exactly to use that pool stick, Madi?" Aaron asked. Madi knocked the eight ball in. Reid smirked as she leaned up against him.

"I have a good handle on the stick, Aaron." She said, running her tongue across her bottom lip. Aaron glared at her. Tyler leaned on the table. Reid wrapped an arm around Madi's waist.

"Make this more interesting, boys." He said. "We win, 20 bucks from each of you. You win…"

"Which is doubtful." Madi and Tyler added in unison.

"We pay up 20 bucks each." Reid finished.

"You're on, Reid." Bordy bet, laying down a 20. Reid chuckled, placing 2 20s on the table.

"Why'd you put forty?" Aaron asked.

"It's rude to let a lady pay." Reid said, causing Madi to giggle. Reid knocked the ball in. "Corner Pocket."

"Nice shot." Tyler said. Pogue walked over to the trio.

"Your brother's looking for you, Madi." He said.

"I'll catch up with him in a minute." Madi said. "When he's away from Chase." Pogue shrugged. Reid looked at a girl in a short skirt.

"Would you look at that?" He said. "Blue cotton." He slapped a 20 down.

"Pink Lace." Tyler said, slapping his own twenty down. Madi whispered in Pogue's ear.

"Boys, that girl hasn't worn panties since she was 12." Pogue said. Reid's eyes flashed. The girl's skirt blew up. No panties. Madi giggled.

"Thank you, boys." Pogue said. He kissed Madi's cheek. Reid looked at her.

"You helped him cheat." He accused. Madi brought his head down and kissed him.

"Your point?" She teased. Reid groaned. He took a shot.

"What the hell? That shot was impossible." Aaron growled. He knocked a glass over. Tyler and Madi backed up.

"Let's take it outside." Madi said. Aaron and Reid went outside.

"He made the shot!" Madi yelled.

"You bet him he couldn't make the shot and he did, Dickhead." Tyler hissed.

"Well we ain't paying you shit, so you can…" Bordy said.

"What's the problem?" Caleb yelled. Madi turned.

"He bet me I couldn't make a combo-shot and I did." Reid said.

"Let's just forget it." Caleb said.

"Take it somewhere else ladies." Nicky yelled as the two gangs faced each other. "Now." Aaron and his gang left. Aaron pushed past Caleb. Caleb faced Reid.

"What were you thinking?" Caleb said, stepping in front of Madi.

"We were just playing with them." Reid swore.

"Cale…" Madi started. Pogue pulled her against him.

"Yeah, come on, Caleb, they were suckers for it." Tyler said. Reid started to walk off, bumping into Caleb and hissing "Why don't you stop being such a pussy?". Caleb grabbed him. Madi stepped back against Pogue, sensing the fight.

"I'm not done with you." Caleb hissed, shoving Reid back. Reid grabbed Caleb's wrist.

"Reid, let him go." Madi said. Reid's eyes were pitch black. Caleb groaned.

"Reid, stop." Reid showed no intention of stopping. Madi turned her head as Reid went flying. "What will it take for you to get it? It's addictive you moron! You've seen what you can do when you abuse it. You want that, that's your business. But you use in the open, you risk exposing us all. And that I won't let happen." Caleb snarled. Reid lifted up a keg. Madi stepped behind Pogue.

"My powers greater than yours." Caleb said.

"Not until you ascend." Reid snarled.

"Alright, go for it, tough guy." Caleb said. Madi heard Reid crash before she looked up. Pogue had grabbed Caleb and Tyler was helping Reid.

"So I fixed her car, big deal." Reid spat.

"I'm talking about later and you know it." Caleb yelled.

"To hell I do, I didn't use later." Reid spat. He grabbed Madi's hand and dragged her with him. Tyler followed. Madi never spoke to Reid the whole way back to Spenser's.

"Madi." Reid finally spoke as she got into her car. She just backed out of the dorms. Reid slammed his fist into the wall as she tore off. Tyler looked at his friend.

"If her car wasn't here she'd probably have rode back with Caleb." He said. Reid shoved past Tyler. Madi breathed through her nose the whole way home. The air in the car was cold. She shivered and kept straight until she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She slammed the brakes. The shadow was gone. Madi's phone went off. She chucked it against the window. Reid Garwin had officially pissed Madison Danvers off and to make matters worse, she loved him too much to tell anyone that a psycho was threatening the one guy she loved and was playing freaky mind games in the midst of it.

"You win Chase. I'll play your stupid games." She yelled into the thin air. Chase appeared beside her in the car.

"They're not stupid if they let you win, Madi." He said, laughing and playing with her black hair. Madi moved away from him.

"You hurt any of them… I'll kill you." She hissed. Chase took a chunk of her hair and jerked her to him. She gasped in pain.

"Not if I kill you first." He said, throwing her back against the seat. She slammed her head against the window. Blood trickled down her neck. Chase looked at her. "I'd get ice for that." He disappeared. Madi picked up her phone. She hit 7 and then send. Tyler picked up first ring.

"Baby boy, get Reid up and come get me." She said, without hesitation.

'Madi, what?' Tyler asked into the phone.

"Ty, just do it. And quick." Madi swore. She clicked the phone…
