Reid spit out the water he was drinking, and his eyes turned black. Mattie nearly fell out of her chair.

"Wha-what?" she stammered.

"In exactly one month, you two are going to be married," James informed them. He was acting as if no big deal.

"Reid, calm down," Leanne said worriedly, catching a glimpse of her son's eyes.

Reid's eyes slowly returned to their normal color, and he sat back down in his seat.

"I'm uh, so happy, that I'll, uh... be marrying such a gentleman," Mattie lied. She thought that Reid was a jerk, and she had only known him for a day.

"And I'm pleased that I'll be wed to such a beautiful young lady," Reid said smoothly. He placed his hand on top of Mattie's. It took all over self control not to pull away.

"So, Mattie, you need to choose your bridesmaids, and then we'll get to organizing this thing," Leanne said. She shot into a long speech about where she thought the wedding should be held, what food should be served, and where Mattie should get her wedding dress. But, Mattie wasn't listening. She was focused on three words that were going through her head: "WHAT THE HELL?"

After dinner was over, Mattie raced up into her room. She had been told that Reid was staying with her, and she did everything in her power to keep him from coming in. She blocked the door with everything she could.

She heard Reid coming up the stairs. "Mattie, dearest! Where are you?" he called to her. She tried everything in her power to keep him out. To her dismay, he used his powers to get in.

"Get out!" she commanded. He walked around the room casually.

"Aw, what's wrong Mattie? Never had a boy in your room before?" Reid taunted.

"Get OUT!" Mattie repeated, screaming. She tried to shove him out, but he grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the wall.

"Listen, you little whore. You're going to be my wife in a month's time, which means you will have to respond to my orders," he whispered harshly into her ear.

Mattie looked into his eyes, and saw that they were black again. She hadn't noticed the first time. She had never seen anything like it before.

"What's with your eyes?" she asked, quite scared.

Reid replied, "You'll be lucky if you never find out the hard way." He let go of her, and walked over to her bed, stripping his clothes off. He was left in his boxers by the time he got there.

"You're not sleeping there," Mattie told him. She pointed to the couch," You're sleeping there."

"Fine, fine. But beware, I have a distinct habit of sleep walking, and getting into bed with someone else," Reid smirked. He got onto the couch, and soon fell asleep. Mattie changed into her pajamas, and went straight to bed.

Mattie awoke the next morning to the smell of bacon and eggs. She got up, hoping everything she had experienced was all a dream. Sadly, she saw Reid still fast asleep. Suddenly, a little idea came to mind. She walked over to the couch, and crouched low next to him.

"Oh Reid," she whispered in a girly voice. "Dadd'y on his way up and I still can't find my panties."

"kate, what are you doing here?" he yelled in his sleep.Reid shot up off the couch, and fell onto the carpet. Mattie rolled over, laughing.

"I can't believe you fell for that!" she laughed. She wiped tears away from her eyes, got up, and made her way downstairs.
