A/N- So here's the next chapter. Thank you to everyone who's started to read the sequel!
SabinaGirl- Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
Texastwostep- I rode a lot when I was younger, but I don't get to that much anymore. I'm swimming a ton so the most I get to do is clean and hang out with them. When I was riding I was going to try and train for Cutting and my mom competed, but my horse trainer moved 10 hours away so it didn't work out anymore.
Happy Face21- It's just going to be another adventure…
Lucy sat in the dorm room looking over her notes from her English class. Their teacher had assigned Heart of Darkness and an analysis paper to go with it. Lucy enjoyed reading enough, but this book was absolutely boring her. Dena had her history class so there was no roommate distraction and Tyler and the other sons had gone back home for the weekend so she couldn't go stay in his room. She finally found her escape in Dena's computer. Logging onto the internet she quickly found games to amuse herself with.
"Hey Lucy!" Dena said as she walked into the room
"Hello." Lucy said, still distracted by her game. "Sorry I'm on your computer, but you have game sites bookmarked and I don't."
"And you're too lazy to go look them up yourself." Dena laughed. "It' fine, I'll just use your computer to check my e-mail." Dena flopped onto Lucy's chair and started going through the programs. "Have you talked to your brother at all?"
"No, why?"
"Just wondering. You guys used to talk all of the time."
"I know. College has just gotten busy. I do know he broke up with Anne though."
"Couldn't do the whole long distance relationship?"
"Ya, something like that. When are the guys getting back?" Lucy's question was lost for Dena as she found an e-mail that she knew she should keep, but didn't want to read. Dena clicked the 'mark as read' button before Lucy's hand waving in her face brought her back to reality.
"What?"
"I said when are the guys getting back and what was that?"
"It was nothing. The guys are going to be back tomorrow night so they can do their homework on Sunday. They should be back before dinner."
"Let's plan a dinner then."
"Why? I think they're going to be tired when they get back."
"Aw come on, it will be fun. We can get Sarah and Kate to help."
"Alright, I think they're both out of classes. Why don't you call them?" Dena found Lucy's phone on the desk next to the compute and handed it to her. Lucy looked at it, but did nothing.
"I'll just go down to their room. Do you want to come?"
"No, I'm going to rest for a bit. I was up early again this morning and Mr. M had yet another boring lecture."
"Alrighty, well I'll be back in a bit." Lucy grabbed her keys and ID before heading out of the room.
Dena closed the e-mail window that she had up on the screen and walked over to her bed. She snuggled into the pillow and sighed as she finally got warm. The only thing that could ruin this moment was Lucy and the others coming in and planning the dinner in the dorm room Dena was trying to sleep in. Then again if they did that Dena could just go to Reid's room. Then there was the possibility that an annoying ringing coming from her pocket could also ruin the comfortable silence. "You woke me up."
"No, I prevented you from falling asleep." Lucy chirped. "We need to go get so food and things so it will be longer before I get back. Hey, do you still have the key to Tyler and Reid's room?"
"Ya, don't you?"
"My key broke last week. Can you meet us in their room in like an hour?"
"Ya sure."
"Don't fall asleep."
"I won't." Dena shut her phone before Lucy could say anything else and curled back under her covers.
The next afternoon Dena and Lucy were sitting in their boyfriend's room. Dena was on Reid's bed under the covers and Lucy was sitting at Tyler's desk. Dena and Lucy were sitting in a comfortable silence listening for Reid and Tyler. This was supposed to be a surprise still. When they heard the two coming they found their hiding spots. Dena his under the covers (thanking god Reid never made his bed) and Lucy his in Tyler's closet. "Let's set our stuff down and go see the girls." Tyler's words floated through the door.
"I want to grab something to drink. Our fridge isn't empty is it?" Reid replied.
"I don't know." The door opened and the two sons walked in. Reid stopped abruptly and stopped Tyler as well. Reid pointed to his covers that seemed to be breathing. Reid got an evil glint in his eye. He walked over to the refrigerator, which happened to be conveniently placed next to his bed. Instead of opening his fridge he tackled his covers and started tickling them. Within a matter of minutes Dena was uncovered and laughing. The couple was soon twisted in the blankets and panting hard from laughing.
"What are you doing in here?" Reid asked as he pulled Dena to him.
"Waiting for you."
"Is Lucy here too?" Tyler asked. Dena just smiled.
"Right here." Lucy came up and grabbed Tyler's hand.
"You guys are planning something." Reid accused
"What? We can't wait for our boyfriends to come back in their rooms?" Dena asked.
"No." Reid answered. Dena gasped and slapped his chest. She got up like she was going to leave, but Reid stopped her and pulled her back.
"What's going on in here?" Caleb asked. He was looking at Reid and Dena who were still tangled in covers and Dena's long hair was messed up.
"I told you to surprise them, not get in bed with them." Kate said as she looked at Dena. Dena just smiled back at her.
"Relax Kate, it's all good." Pogue laughed. "Now what's for dinner?"
Lucy walked over and opened Reid and Tyler's fridge. Inside were some sandwiches and drinks. Sarah then opened a drawer on Tyler's desk and took out a couple bags of chips and a box of cookies. Everyone took a sandwich, some chips, and a few cookies and settled in various places of the room. The boys would talk much about their trip home, just that they needed to look at something in their family history. The girls tried to get more out of them, but they just ignored the questions. Soon they turned on the TV and flipped through the channel. Lucy made everyone stop on TBS where they were playing the Cosby Show. Dena laughed at one of the jokes on the TV as she finished her sandwich.
"It's nice to see you laughing again." Lucy commented.
"What do you mean?" Reid asked.
"She hasn't laughed since you guys left Thursday night. She was uptight mostly."
"Missed me that much?" Reid asked as he looked down at Dena. She just smiled, but kept her attention on the TV.
"Either that or the e-mails she's been getting."
"They're nothing." Dena said before Reid or anyone else could ask anything. "How about we watch a movie? Or are you guys too tired to stay up late?"
"I think I'm heading to bed." Caleb said.
"Me too." Pogue agreed.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow. Kate and I will take these two and make sure they get tucked in tonight." Sarah said. She grabbed Caleb's arm and dragged him out of Reid and Tyler's dorm room. Kate said goodnight and dragged Pogue off as well.
"We'll let you guys get some sleep." Lucy said. She bent over Tyler and placed a kiss on his lips. "Dena, are you coming?"
"Ya, I'll be right behind you." Dena responded.
"Um, Tyler, will you walk me back to my dorm?" Lucy asked, she could sense that Dena and Reid needed their time alone. Tyler, understanding the reason, left right behind Lucy.
"They're really good at telling when they need to leave people alone." Reid muttered. Dena nodded, but remained silent. "Please tell me about these e-mails that Lucy talked about. We promised no more secrets when we got back together."
"I know. When I was doing my… my old job I had a mentor, a teacher. I never met him. I have his e-mail, he has mine. I have his screen name, he has mine. It was how we communicated and I received my missions or private jobs."
"How were you trained then?"
"There are other witch hunters. Most of the same background as me. Some had family members or friends killed by witches or other supernatural beings."
"There are other kinds of supernatural beings?"
"You think you four are the only ones? I would think that Chase would have proved that wrong. But yes there are other supernatural beings, but they have their own covenants of silence. I've never come across any others, but I've hears stories. The hunters are usually specialized in a certain area and don't usually hunt other types of beings. Anyways, I know the teacher as… well, the teacher. It's his screen name and his e-mail. He's mad about me not completing my old job, falling in love with you, killing my client, and just leaving. He's been spamming my e-mail with messages, none threatening yet, and he has been bothering me online. Hence the reason I have stopped using AIM recently."
"Dena, this could get dangerous."
"I know, but I'm hoping he just leaves me alone."
"Has anyone else just left before?"
"I don't know. If they have it has not been told to the others." Dena said.
"Should we tell the others?" Reid asked.
"Not until the threats come, if they come. You know how Caleb and Pogue get when they think they're being threatened, especially after Chase."
"Alright, but I want an update ok?"
"Of course."
"Can I see some of the e-mails?"
"At some point. Right now, lets go to bed."
"Are you staying here tonight?"
"You want me to?" Dena asked.
"Tyler seems to be staying in your room so I think you should."
"I'll need a shirt or something."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do. I'm going to borrow one of yours." Dena got up and dug through Reid's drawer till she found a shirt she liked. She slipped off her shirt and jeans and slipped into Reid's shirt. She returned to Reid's bed as Reid walked back into the room after brushing his teeth. Reid joined Dena in bed and pulled the covers over them. "Will you please turn off the lights?" Dena yawned. Without moving a muscle the lights were off and the couple was falling asleep.
