That was one of the most tedious things I had ever done. Not only do I have to wear a uniform but I have to do a sport. Bill had helped set up my schedule and knowing him I had something safe and boring. I was to pick up my schedule on Monday before my first class. He took me shopping for my school stuff before we went home.
I spent the rest of the day in my room trying to get things organized. They informed me that they were going to start watching movies in fifteen minutes. It was a Friday tradition movies, popcorn and M& M's. I opened my drawer that I kept my comfort food in. It was empty.
I stormed down the steps grabbing a pillow off of the closest chair. I chucked it at Cole's head. "You ate my chocolate." He just smiled. "Where's the replacements?"
"You don't need any. Your butt will get big." He was suddenly pelted by all the pillows in the room. I used my wind ability to chuck them. "Okay I'll get you more tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Won't do me any good tonight." I threw on my hoodie and pulled out my keys leaving the room.
"Where are you going?" He was suddenly next to me. He tried to block the door.
"To get chocolate. You better not expect me to cuddle with you at any point. A matter of fact don't come near me until I like you again." I pushed past him. What was he thinking? No smart man would come between me and my M&M's.
I walked out to my SUV and started to get in. I had a sudden cold chill and dropped my keys. I got out to grab them and the wind picked up pushing my keys under Cole's Escalade. I went around his car to get them and my car door slammed shut even though the wind had stopped. Okay then.
I hated when I got that feeling. You know the one that the cosmos sends out screaming listen to me. I bent down and picked up my keys. Why should I drive my car and waste my gas. He ate my chocolate so I'll use his gas. Maybe I will drive around for a while and bring the thing back empty. Asshole.
It had started to rain and the lightning was vicious. I was debating going back just to be safe but I had already went several miles. I was rounding the corner and could see the creepy barn. I had just crossed the bridge when lightning flashed. I was blinking my eyes and started to freak when there was suddenly a man in the road. He was smiling and it wasn't pretty. He moved his arm in front of him. The car went spinning threw the air landing in a ditch on the opposite side of the road.
I tried to move but it hurt. Lightning flashed again and the same man was visible threw the windshield. He was bent down looking in. I felt like the devil was trying to get inside my head. The next thing I know things went black.
–- Reid -
"Man did you see the look on his face. He went three shades of red." I lit my cigarette.
"You would think by now he would just stop challenging us." Tyler was laughing.
"He'll never get it. Shit I stopped using to annoy him after Chase died." I shuddered at the name. I was glad he was gone.
"Hey is it me or is it really bright by the barn?" Tyler was pointing to my side of the road.
I sat up to get a better look. "Your right. I don't like that it's so close to the barn." I used to go there all the time before Chase but now I hated to pass by it. It's only been two months since he died but I don't think two years would change how it makes me feel.
We got past the trees and it looked like head lights. Tyler stopped just before the lights. We jumped out and ran to the car. I jumped onto the back passenger door to get a better look. It wasn't like emergency response to leave the lights on if they had been here. There was someone in the driver seat and they were passed out. "Call for a ambulance." I started trying to get the door open but it looked like they drove this thing in a derby. Caleb can just deal. I used my power to open the door.
The light inside the car turned on and I could see a petite girl. I don't know why small girls like her try to drive a man's vehicle. I leaned further in. I've seen her before. It took a minute but the sound of laughter hit me, Provost office. I know I wanted to see her again but not like this.
I could hear something pounding and it sounded like it was next to my ear. I opened my eyes just in time to see the passenger side door open. A blond head popped into the car. "Don't move we called for a ambulance." I was seeing two of him and couldn't help but laugh. It was the blond from the office. Guess I wasn't avoiding him like a good girl. "Can you tell if anything is broken?"
"I think my arm and ribs." I reached into my pocket and my phone was gone. Shit. "Can you reach into the glove box and grab the cell phone?" They had cells in all the glove boxes for emergencies.
He adjusted and leaned further in. He stopped when he looked at me. "Ty how long til they get here? There's a lot of blood."
"Not sure they just took someone somewhere. Can you see where it's coming from?"
"Ya the knife stuck in her gut." I looked down and that's when I felt the pain. One of my emergency athame's was buried to the hilt. It was under the seat. How bad was his car? My breathing started to get faster. Now I wish I would have got the smaller ones. Four inches of blade stuck in me. "Slow down your breathing or your going to pass out. My names Reid. What's yours?" He reached in the glove box and grabbed the cell phone.
"Genevieve." Then I screamed loud enough it echoed. Another round of pain went threw my head and I could feel someone trying to break through m mental shields. I could hear him talking but could barely make out what was said. I looked up at Reid. "Can you call any number in there and tell them what happened?" My hand flew to my head as I tried to strengthen my shields. If the voice didn't stop soon I was going to pass out. Just then I felt the knife start to twist. I grabbed the hilt and tried to stop it from twisting using a small amount of power to help me. The car began to shake as I tried to stop it.
"Shit!" Reid must have slipped off the car because I couldn't see him anymore.
"What happened?" It was a new voice.
"She hasn't said." I could hear him moving again. "They need to hurry up or she's gunna bleed out." In a lower voice he said. "I just saw the blade twist. Then something was shaking the car." He had lowered his voice even more for the last part.
My eyes flew open when I felt a shiver go down my neck. "Get away from the car." I knew I was loosing control of my abilities. This wasn't going to end well.
"What did you say?" Reid had leaned back in.
"Get away from the car. Now." I started to struggle with my seat belt. It was jammed. I could feel the shivers spreading to my spine. He hadn't moved. "Reid move it!" I screamed. I grabbed the hilt of the athame and pulled. I had cut the strap at my waist and was starting on the upper strap.
I felt him trying to get further in the car to stop me. "She pulled the knife out!" Reid was half way in now.
"Go now. Please." I don't know if it was the please but he moved and I heard when his feet hit the gravel.
I could barely feel my arm. Now that he wasn't in the car I used more of my ability and pushed the blade threw the strap. I saw a flash of movement in front of me just as I pushed myself to my feet.
I saw the person from before and it was like watching clips of someone moving. I didn't like the look on his face. Not that I could make it out. Just his eyes that flashed red before going black. What ever he wanted wasn't good for me.
"I'm going to see what is going on." It was the new voice. I felt the shiver at my legs and knew I didn't have much time. I could suddenly smell gas and knew the second the flame ignited. I looked up and saw a face. Shit! I forced my wind to the surface again and thrust myself out of the car and grabbed the new guy as I flew at him.
We rolled on the ground and stopped at the other boys feet. The guy was laying on top of me. "It's going to." That's all I got out as it blew. Once again I was flying threw the air. The last thing I remember thinking before we hit the ground was soft as a pillow. Man was I glad I had four of my five abilities.
"Reid, Ty?" This guys voice was deeper than the other two and on a normal day I would find it sexy but right now he needed to shut up.
"We're fine." I wasn't sure which one answered because everything was echoing. I heard movement getting closer.
"Genevieve open your eyes." Reid was leaning over me.
"I don't want to. Just let me die cuz he's gunna kill me." Why didn't I take my car?
"I'm sure he will forgive you. I need you to open your eyes." The man with the booming voice was pushy.
I opened them and damn. If I was going to die this was one hell of a way to go. Reid was hot but his two friends were just as fine. "Are you sure you guys are okay?" I'd feel bad if I ruined a inch of their nice bodies.
The dark haired boy by Reid laughed. "Your bleeding to death and your worried about us."
"Ya hotness must live on." I chuckled. By god if I was gunna die I was gunna flirt before I did. Their looks begged to be worshiped.
"What happened?" The new guy was similar to the other unnamed boy but had brown eyes instead of blue. I think I will call him . Born leader material down to the bone. I felt like ignoring him out of principle. I had had my fill of pushy lately.
- Caleb -
The guys were suppose to be meeting me at my place to go to the Dells. I was unnerved when Tyler called saying there was accident. I knew things were bad by the way Tyler sounded but I wasn't expecting to see Reid freaking out. Then I felt magic being used I knew it was Reid. Then I felt something else something stronger. It wasn't quite like when we use but it had power. I couldn't tell where it was coming from.
I went to Reid. He was leaning into the vehicle. "What happened?"
"I just saw the blade turn inside her and then the car started to shake." He looked like he was going to loose it. She was saying something but I couldn't make it out. Reid leaned back over to hear better. Tyler started to fill me in on what happened. She screamed at him to get away. He looked back towards us and looked like he was going to hurl. "She just ripped the blade out of her stomach."
That's it we need to get her out of there. I ran over and started to climb inside. She was crouching on the door. I didn't have time to get inside because she came flying at me and we flew in the air. I landed half on her.
"It's gunna." The next thing I knew we were flying threw the air again. I should hurt but as I got off of her the ground moved. It was like sitting on a really cushy bed. I rolled her over and took off my jacket pressing it to her stomach. She was loosing more blood than was healthy. Her skin was an odd color and her skin was clammy.
Mr. Pushy had just asked what had happened and the one by Reid answered. I really didn't hear what he said. I was sure he was talking to me though. I decided to answer even if he wasn't talking to me. "Lightning and then there was something in the road." I couldn't tell them it was a man and that he threw the car. Think your a smart girl. "Deer I think. I swerved to miss it."
Reid looked at the new guy and I could tell he wasn't buying it. "How did the passenger side get so dented?" I started to close my eyes to help me think. "Hey now none of that." I felt fingers caress my cheek.
"Not sure it all happened so fast." I could hear the ambulance in the distance. "Did you call." I started to cough and when I bent forward I could see the new guy was holding something to my stomach. I couldn't feel it. That wasn't a good sign. I knew I was going to die and had excepted death along time ago. Nothing like knowing you were born to just to die for a a cause you don't know if you believe in.
"Shit." The guy next to Reid pulled out my cell from his coat pocket. That must be Ty. He hit buttons. He gave me a funny look but I could tell he was trying not to laugh. "No my name is Tyler Simms and there has been a accident." He pulled the phone away from his ear. I didn't need it any closer to know who it was. "Not good. We called a ambulance and they just got here." There was a pause. "Yeah."
He moved the phone to my ear. "Gee, where's my car?"
"Cole I'm fine but the EMT's are here. Just so you know I'm sorry. You don't have to buy me chocolate anymore." I pulled the phone away from my ear. "Tell him what hospital and hang up."
Ty did as asked as the EMT's took over. They ended up riding in the ambulance with me. I remember them getting in and the door closing. As soon as the sirens started I passed out.
I could hear voices and knew that I was still alive. "I'm gunna kill her. No I'm gunna kiss her then I'm gunna kill her."
I opened my eyes. "Would you make up your mind or shut up." Paul and Casey were standing next to Cole.
"I'll buy you a new car." I knew it wasn't a valid offer but oh well.
"No I'm going to use your car until you die of social embarrassment." He moved closer to me and took my hand.
"What happened?" Paul leaned against the foot of the bed. He placed his hand on my foot. I knew it was to comfort him more than me.
"I felt something then lightning hit. When I could see again there was a guy in the road. He moved his arm and then I was in the ditch."
"Your saying he threw the car without touching it." Casey looked concerned.
"What are you telling people?" Cole was all business.
"Deer. I don't need a one way ticket to nutsville. Plus I freaked. I'm not sure the boys believed me." I looked away. "What ever it was it tried to get in my head and had a lot of power."
"Company." Casey had turned towards the door just before I heard a knock. He opened the door and made a face.
My three heroes walked threw the door. "Hear your going to live." Reid was such a smart ass. But with a smile like that he can insult me all he wants.
"Ya. Thanks for helping."
Mr. Pushy stepped forward. "I'm Caleb Danvers. That's Tyler Simms and Reid Garwin."
"Genevieve Hall. This is Cole, Paul and Casey." I motioned to each as I introduced them.
Cole moved away from me and put his hand out. "Thank you. I saw two vehicles near my smoldering car." He looked at me. "We will pay for the repairs to them." The three looked at each other. "I insist." He handed Caleb his business card.
"We'll we should be going. We just wanted to return your phone." He pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to Cole.
"Thanks." I'm so glad I lived because they were amazing in the dark and the light only enhanced it. They left and Casey closed the door behind them.
"Door wasn't closed all the way. I'm not sure they didn't hear what you said." Casey sat on the bed.
"We'll deal with it if they did." Cole had one and only one way of dealing with problems. Violence.
"No I will. You guys think violence is the answer to everything. Plus it would be a shame to hurt such fine specimens of men." Cole growled.
"What?" I wasn't going to lie. Plus I was still pissed at him.
They left after that. I was pretty sure it was because Cole was fuming. He didn't like me looking at other guys. When the doctor checked on me in the morning I was already healing. I may not heal as quick as the wolves but I'll take what I can get. They released me after another day of tests.
I spent the next week at home because they wanted it to look like I was hurt more than I was. I was still going to need to watch how I moved when I went to school. The knife wound was healing slower because it was a magical weapon. I had a bruise on my back that just didn't want to heal either.
- Reid -
We called Pogue and he met us at the hospital. He was waiting in Tyler's Hummer. We got in and I was waiting for the lecture about using my power. Seeing that Baby Boy's Hummer was suppose to be ruined. "Does someone want to fill me in on what happened? Your cars were a mess. There was a door in the hood Tyler's car."
Tyler filled him in. I couldn't get the image of the knife turning on it's own out of my head. "Was it just me or was there magic being used. I know I used to open the door but not after that. I know I saw the blade turn on it's own."
"No I felt something and it was powerful. You saw her before the explosion. She was in no shape to shoot out of the car like that. She grabbed me as she flew out." I knew he was stressed he never passed on a chance to yell at me for using. It was weird seeing Caleb so confused. Somehow it just didn't look as good on him as it did on me.
"I'm more freaked about the ground being like a cushion. We should have been hurt when it exploded." I was glad to see Baby Boy was just as freaked.
"Maybe it was residual energy left from Chase. You guys used more than enough to linger. Plus with the three of you being there so soon after. I know I'd have been wiggin." Pogue was still touchy when it came to Chase. I guess I can cut him some slack since he did almost die because of him.
"Maybe your right but those guys at the hospital were leaking energy. It didn't feel right though." I was certain they were leaking.
"Ya the way they looked at us was intense." Leave it to Caleb to down play the magic aspect.
"Intense. I thought Cole was going to rip our heads off when she checked us out. I know she referred to us as hotties but that was worse than watching you defend Sarah from Aaron." Although I'm pretty sure that I will be revisiting her in my dreams. She had a better rack than I thought. Gotta love hospital gowns.
"Do we know if she's from around here?" Baby Boy was trying to find logical questions as usual.
"I saw her in the Provost office when I left my weekly visit. I think she might be a transfer."
"If so we need to get closer to her. I don't want to be blind sided again." Now that is the Caleb I have grown to ignore.
"Do you think it could be Chase?" Tyler had the least amount of contact with him and feared he was still alive.
"I don't know but I want to be prepared." Caleb had that tone to his voice again. He felt that as the eldest of the Ipswich boys it was his duty to protect us. How lame.
