Chapter 3:

Pogue's POV:

"Alyssa!" I yelled, running over to her unconscious body. Whatever had hit her was fading away, almost dissolving into the pavement of the alleyway. I tried to grab it, but it had already faded away. It didn't seem like it hurt her though. There were no injuries, she didn't fly backwards, and she wasn't bleeding. She just collapsed on the floor. I looked over at her body. A substance that looked like smoke seemed to be emerging from her chest. I called the guys over.

"You guys!!!" I yelled.

"What?!" They yelled, running over and kneeling by her body. Reid's eyes turned black and he hovered his hands over her chest. The trail of white smoke went away, but she was still unconscious. I picked her up and carried her back to the car. We drove back to Caleb's manor and put her on one of the beds. She finally woke up at about two in the morning.

"Alyssa!" I yelled. I was the only one that had been steadily watching her the entire time. She smiled.

"Hi Pogue." She said with a smile. She looked around. "Wait, what happened?" she asked, her smile turning into a worried face.

"Last night in the alley by Nicky's" Caleb started to explain, then hesitated. "We were attacked, by a young girl. Wait, don't you remember any of this?"

Alyssa shook her head. She was holding a really big pillow to her chest and she was sitting cross legged on the bed. She's so cute! Really, she is. No! Reid's sister. His little sister! I can't-

"Pogue???" someone said, stopping my train of thought. "Oh. Sorry." I said. I looked at Alyssa again.

"We need to find her." Alyssa said, as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.

"No!" Reid said, looking her directly in the eye. "We don't. And we're not gonna either." He said sternly. This isn't gonna go well. He was being an authority figure. And Alyssa and authority don't really mix…

"Yes we are Reid!" Alyssa argued. "We have to! She's gonna come after us again, and we don't know when."

"Alyssa! Haven't you learned anything? You could have been killed last time! You almost were!"

"But I wasn't!" she yelled, throwing the pillow aside and standing up.

"But you could have been!" Reid yelled. "Don't you get it? It's been seven years Alyssa! Seven fucking years and your still the same!"

Alyssa looked taken aback. She didn't say anything but you could tell she was trying her hardest to hold back her tears.

"Alyssa, I'm sorry." Reid said. "I just- you're my little sister and I would kill myself if anything ever happened to you."

She wiped her eyes, and looked up at him. "But if we aren't gonna go after her then what are we gonna do?" she asked like she was a child.

"We're gonna wait." Caleb explained. "And see if she attacks again. If she does then we'll fight back. But we're not gonna go looking for trouble."

Alyssa's POV:

I rolled my eyes, but agreed anyway. Pogue and I left really soon and got back at about six in the morning, which was good because. I looked up at him.

"Why do they do that?" I finally asked out of frustration, but all Pogue did was laugh.

"You mean why do they always just wait and not find out what's going on?" he said. "I'm not really sure. It's mostly Caleb. He doesn't like trouble. He usually wants to avoid it at all costs. He doesn't like using, and he really hasn't. None of us have. Have you?" he asked.

"No, not really at all. Infact the last time I remember using a lot was on my 18th birthday-" I said, wanting to take back what I had just said. The last thing I wanted to bring up was my 18th birthday.

"Yeah…" he said laughing and brushing it off like he had forgotten what had happened. Maybe he had, and maybe I should too. "Alyssa." He said in a serious voice. "I don't forget what happened that night. I keep thinking about it, replaying it in my head, but the thing is, I wouldn't want to take it back." He said. At this point we had already pulled up to the house. He leaned in slowly, until his lips let mine. He kissed me deeply, just like he had the night I turned 18. Only this time it was different. This time I kissed him back. I could tell he meant it, and I think he could tell I meant it too because neither of us pulled away for a while, until finally I told him I needed to get back inside. I walked up to the door and watched him drive away. I wanted to say 'see you soon' or 'bye!' or even 'don't get stuck in traffic' but I couldn't. I couldn't say anything. All I did was smile but I think that told him everything he needed to hear. I walked up the stairs and opened the apartment door. I tried to be as quiet as possible but Sky is the lightest sleeper ever and she woke up immediately.

"I was so worried!" she said, somewhat groggily.

"I was attacked…" I said, trying to make it sound like it was no big deal.

"WHAT?!?!" she yelled. "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!?!"

"Sky! Calm down! I'm fine aren't I?" I said.

"Yeah, but- but-"

"I look fine don't I? Calm down! Besides I have better news anyway." I said. I didn't really want to tell her about the kiss but she's my best friend and I had to tell someone.

"I can't calm down- better news? What do you mean better news? Better news like what? Better news like Pogue news?" she said half-smiling half-smirking.

"Yes like Pogue news." I said, kind of annoyed, but I was kind of glad that she cared so much.

"Ooh! What happened???" she said smiling really widely.

"Well we were driving home and he… kissed me." I said. It was pretty awkward.

"Well…" she paused for a second. "Did you like it?"

"Sky!" I yelled

"Well… did you?" she said. She wasn't going to let this go until she heard the answer.

"Yes okay?" I said, rolling my eyes. "I kissed Pogue Parry and I enjoyed it! Are you happy?"

She smiled. "Yes very." She said, and then closed her eyes and fell back asleep. I fell asleep soon too. It was pretty hard though, because it felt like someone was watching me, and it felt like they were closer than ever. And this time I think I know who it is.

Pogue POV:

"Dude you what?" Reid yelled.

"I'm sorry okay? I couldn't help myself!"

"Pogue she's my sister! And you- you- killed her innocence!"

"Dude, it's not like she's never kissed a guy before. She's had lots of boyfriends. She probably did more than just hug them."

"Pogue! Stop it! That's- I don't want to think about Alyssa with- boys! That's- that's- that's so EWWW!" Reid said, covering him ears.

"What did you expect her to think boys had cooties for her entire life?" I said. I wish I hadn't told him, even though I know I had to.

"Dude what am I going to do to her? I'm not going to hurt her. You know that. You know me. Come on."

Reid hesitated. "Alright dude. If it makes her happy, then I guess its alright with me. But dude, hurt her and I'll fucking kill you." He threatened.

I held down a rude remark and just nodded. Rude remarks aren't going to help. It was hard enough getting his approval being nice to him. But it was worth it. It was most definitely worth it.

Oh yeah. I just wanted to thank El Neneo and avidswimmer09 for reviewing and El Neneo for giving me the idea for the sequel.
