"Um… don't worry." Caleb replied.

"Okay." Deidra said, walking away. She was really freaked out by this guy. What was he, a pyschic? When she looked back, he was following her. So she quickly turned around. "Are you following me?"

"No. I have gym class now, and we're in the pools today." He answered, looking puzzled at her suddenly angry expression.

"Oh, right. Me too. See you there." Deidra replied, shaking the weird feeling that she had seen him before off.

She made a detour, and headed towards the closest bathroom.

Caleb walked into the downstairs room where the pools were situated, and sighed. He had made a completely wrong impression on Deidra. She was the girl from his dream, he knew it, but why was she so reluctant to say that she had a young brother? He pushed the thoughts from his mind so he could focus on the task at hand, which was practicing for his position on the swim team.

He was focusing on the people in the people in the pool so much that he barely noticing Deidra walking into the room. After last year's odd mishap with the school bathing-suits all disappearing, the Provost had reluctantly agreed to letting the students wear their own swimsuits. Only when Reid slapped Caleb's shoulder did he finally notice Deidra. Oh God. She's so perfect. But he couldn't. He figured that his mission from the couple was to protect her and the young boy. Not date the girl.


Deidra was used to it by now. She knew that they could tell. She had worked hard to get her body back into shape after Kree. But their eyes were so accusing. She noticed Caleb and his friends looking at her too. Oh good Lord. Don't look at his body. He knows. But he's so hot. But - no! Just one more look. No! He'll figure it out. Deidra's mind was running fifty miles an hour. Damn it! She thought furiously. Shouldn't have worn this one. Before leaving Chelmsford, she had bought a cute white bikini. Thankfully she had checked it before she left Chelmsford and didnt turn see-through when wet. But if it attracted this much attention, she may not wear it again.

Thankfully, after she had situated herself in a shadowy corner of the room, the swimming coach came in. And told the class that they would be doing laps in the pools today. Deidra took a far lane and began swimming. As she swam, along with the rest of the class, her thoughts ran riot throughout her brain. In the pool, while she was swimming, she tried to see her son. Maybe someone was spying on him. As she looked at Kree, she couldn't see anything suspicious, but since she was focusing on the water too hard, using it to see Kree, the water in the pool began to bubble angrily.

Deidra didn't notice anything, she was concentrating on finding someone watching Kree, but the other students in the pool did. They thought that maybe the filter was broken, or that the water was too chlorinated, but when Caleb and his friends came up to take a breath in the pool they were swimming in, they could see that something was up.


"What is that?" Pogue asked, noticing the bubbling water in pool two.

"Whoa, that's just plain weird." Reid commented, pulling himself out of the pool.

"Maybe the filter's broken." Tyler said naively, also getting out of the pool.

"No, that's definitely not it. Hey, that Deidra girl is still in there..." Caleb replied, letting the sentence remain unfinished as he watched her still swimming back in forth in the now furiously bubbling water.

The boys watched as the swimming coach went over to the lane that Deidra was in. "Deidra! Deidra!" He yelled into the water.


Deidra focussed hard on Kree. She smiled as Granmama put him down for a nap. Nothing wrong there.

"Deidra! Deidra!" a voice yelled through the water, it oddly distorted, interrupting her focus on Kree. As Deidra opened her eyes, she noticed that the water was bubbling. 'Oh crap, not good. Can't believe that my concentration does that. Have to work on controlling it.'

Deidra swam up to the surface and got out of the pool. As she backed away from the edge of the pool, she felt all eyes on her. Locking eyes with Caleb for a minute, she then blinked and ran out of the room.


"Did you see that?" Reid asked as they sat down at the local diner that afternoon, once school had let out.

Pogue rolled his eyes, "For the last time, Reid, we all saw it."

"I still don't understand how it's possible. It's just not, right Caleb?" Tyler asked the leader of their little group.

Caleb, who was resting his head in his hands looked up at his closest friends. He had to tell them. She was the girl from his dreams, but he didn't know how the kid or the couple fit in to it. "It could be. This hasn't got anything to do with her ... powers or anything, at least not that I know of, but for the last week I have had this recurring dream, right. It starts off with that fight with Chase, but I die, and then it goes to a couple telling me to watch out for them, and saying that he'll kill them. Then it shows Deidra and this baby boy in her arms. It doesn't really make any sense."

"'Doesn't make any sense'? Caleb, it makes all the sense in the world if you think about it," Tyler said. The other boys were confused. Tyler was the young, naive one. And he didn't usually have outbursts like this. "I'm guessing that couple were Deidra's parents, and the boy is either her little brother or her son. As for 'he'll kill them', I'm not sure if it's possible, but..."

Pogue had an epiphany. "Wait, what if 'he' is Chase?"

"But it's not possible! Caleb said he disappeared into an explosion of fire." Reid scoffed.

"But, he could have made it seem as though he was dead. Tyler and Pogue are right. We have to make sure of her brother or son. I'm sure it's not her son though, I mean, she doesn't look like a mother." Caleb replied.


Deidra leant back in the rocking chair and sighed, thinking of the pool incident. Kree suddenly pulled her out of her train of thought by sucking harder on her nipple. "Hey there, calm down. We've got the rest of the day there." she said to him. He pulled away and looked up at her with his big hazel eyes. Dreamer's eyes, like her mother. Deidra pulled her bra and her shirt back over her shoulder, and put her son across her shoulder, and rubbed his back to bring wind up. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the closeness of mother and son. Deidra felt an odd sense of deja-vu as she thought of her mother doing the same with herself. A scary thought.

As she sat in the chair, patting her son gently on the back, she heard the echoing noise of the door-knocker downstairs. She eased herself out of the rocking chair, and gently padded downstairs. Deidra just assumed it was her grandmother, and whispered gentle sweet nothings to her son as they crossed the foyer. As she opened the door, Deidra had an odd sense of foreboding. Once the door was completely open, she saw the famed Sons of Ipswich. She recognised them immediately by sensing their power.

"Hi Deidra." Caleb said calmly.

"Hi," she replied, switching Kree to another shoulder, as to hold the door open. "what are you doing here?"

"We were wondering if we could talk." Another blond boy behind him asked.

Deidra gave the boys a small smile, and released her hand from the door. "Come on in." She said, gesturing for them to come in. Once all four boys were inside, she closed the door, and lead the boys into her sitting room-come-library.

"So, what brings you here?" The young mother asked the four boys, still rubbing Kree gently on his back. As Caleb, the leader of the little group started to say something, Kree let out a large burp.

"Nice," said the blond, Reid. "that kid's got some serious wind." That seemed to break the awkwardness between the people in the large house, and Caleb began to plead their case to Deidra.

"So, um, I was wondering, how are you two related?" He asked.

'Oh, good Lord.' Deidra looked at the boys occupying her couch and decided to spill her secret to them. They seemed to be okay, and she didn't think that they would tell anyone. "Well, this little one, Kree - he is my son." she said.

There was another awkward silence as the boys mulled over this new information.

As the four boys looked at each other, trying to figure out what to say next, Deidra decided to share her story. "Look, as you can probably tell, he definitely wasn't planned. It started out innocently enough, when I turned sixteen, this guy asked me out. We dated for two months. That's when the lies began. The guy I was dating, he said he loved me to get me into bed, and I was stupid enough to fall for his crap. By the next month, he had broken it off with me, and I found out I was pregnant. So I processed the information for about a month, and then I was going to go and have an abortion. But on the way to the hospital, the baby kicked, and I realised that I had another person growing inside me. And then, I just couldn't go through with it. I had Kree, stayed in Chelmsford for two months, and then came here."

"What about your parents?" Caleb asked tentatively.

Deidra looked up at Caleb, and then back down at Kree. "My parents are dead." she whispered.

"What happened?" Caleb asked again. The boys behind him grew awkward at the question.

"It was an accident. Something happened the first day I . . . well, lets just say it was a huge shock for me." the young woman answered.

"Care to explain?" Reid asked.

She looked up suddenly at Reid. "No," Deidra said. "maybe. Look, I wasn't at home by curfew, I was out with Kree's father, and when I got home, I found my parents lying on the ground in the lounge, dead. The mortician said that they both died from brain aneurisms."

At this, all of the boys looked at each other. "You were right, Pogue." Tyler stated to the boy sitting next to him.

"Excuse me?" Deidra asked, confused by this statement.

"Don't you think it was a bit odd that both of your parents died from brain aneurisms?" Pogue suggested.

Kree gurgled, and Deidra positioned him back in a cradle-like hold. She pondered this thought. She had always thought it was a bit strange. But what did they mean?

"Sure, but what could have caused it?" Deidra asked the boys.

Caleb sighed. "We once faced this guy, Chase. He's seriously damaged in the head, okay. He killed his adoptive parents in a car crash, and while pursuing us, he killed a few people the same way that your parents died. I faced him, and we thought he died. Now we think he's back."

Deidra thought it over. "But what would he want with me, or my parents?"

"I want to show you something." Caleb said, extending a hand to her. Deidra hesitated. "It's okay. You can bring Kree too." he added.

The four boys drove in their cars to the Colony House. Deidra drove at a distance behind them in her car, with Kree in his carseat in the back. On the way there, they passed a pile of ruins in a field. As they drove by, Kree began to cry.

"Oh, sweetie. It's okay. We'll be there soon," Deidra said to her son. "I hope."

After twenty more minutes, they pulled up at an old house. All of the boys got out of their cars, and waited as Deidra got Kree out of the car. The young men then lead Deidra into the house, and then down into what seemed to be an organised cave.

"What is this place?" Deidra asked.

"It's - sort of like a cluhouse for us." Tyler explained. Deidra looked at him, sort of confused, and then they smiled at each other. As the boys sat down, a book floated towards the only girl in the room.

"This is what I wanted to show you." Caleb said. The book opened to show me a bookmarked page.

'In Salem, there weren't only the Sons of Ipswich. There was also a Daughter, who is famed to have power, more power than the Sons combined. When the prosecution started, the woman who had the power at the time was pregnant with a girl and managed to escape from America, and was lost from the records. She who has the power is claimed to have dominion over all. But the power isn't to be used lightly. If the Daughter over-uses her power, it won't age her, it will make her immortal. The power not only comes with the immortality, but will be coveted by all who come to hear her ethereal voice.'
