Chapter 4

Addyson stared out the window at the storm that was brewing. It had rained every day since she had gotten back to Ipswich. She had been there for four days and Caleb was still avoiding her.

Addyson pushed away from the window and glanced around the room. She was staying with Pogue until they got things back to normal. Her eyes landed on Pogue where he sat on the sofa.

She noticed for the first time how his shirt clung to his chest and shoulders. She appreciated how built Pogue was. Caleb had muscles but was nearly as ripped as Pogue. Addyson cocked her head to the side and studied the way Pogue's sandy hair hung in his eyes.

"You're really hot, you know that," Addyson commented calmly. She felt that familiar sensation as Riley shifted back so Addyson could take over for a while.

Pogue's head snapped up as he comprehended what she had said. "You feeling ok Riley," Pogue asked cautiously. He wasn't about to flirt with his best friend's girl. It didn't matter how hot he found her new body to be.

"She let me take over," Addyson replied. She slowly crossed the room and sat next to Pogue on the sofa. "I'm serious though, you're an attractive guy. Why aren't you dating anyone?"

"My ex and I are one of those on again off again things," Pogue explained. "Riley got us back together. After she disappeared Kate moved and I haven't talked to her since."

"I'm sorry," Addyson said after a moment. "What's she like?"

"Who," Pogue asked in confusion. "Kate?"

"No, Riley. What is she like," Addyson replied.

"Riley's amazing. She's smart, funny, she doesn't take bullshit from anyone. She is also one of the nicest people I've ever met," Pogue explained. "She's been through a lot. The guy she was dating killed her dad to get to his power. She inherited it instead. She almost lost Tyler to the same guy. She's a tough girl though."

"She sounds pretty amazing," Addyson murmured. She shifted slightly and met Pogue's gaze. "Why Caleb? I mean I know she really cares about him but why do you think she chose him?"

"I don't think she chose him necessarily. I think they are meant to be together. You should have seen him after we lost her. It was like a huge piece of him was missing," Pogue said. "That's why we have to get her back. He'll never be the same without her."

"What happens to me when she comes back," Addyson asked nervously.

"You'll go back to normal. It'll just be Addyson in there instead of you and Riley," Pogue pointed out. "You don't have anything to worry about."

Tristan sighed loudly and slumped over on the sofa. "I'm exhausted, why isn't Caleb helping us," Tristan demanded. She glanced at Catherine, Tyler and Reid in annoyance with her brother.

Caleb was in his room doing god knows what while the others tried to find a reversal spell. Tyler shrugged and continued reading the book in his lap. Catherine leaned against him and read over his shoulder.

"I think it's better if we leave him alone," Catherine suggested. "He's not taking this very well."

"No of us are dealing with this very well," Reid pointed out. "She's his girlfriend you would think that he would want to help."

Tristan started to speak but paused when she heard someone coming down the stairs. She twisted around to see Caleb approaching them.

"I think I found something," Caleb said as he entered the room. He tossed the book he had in hand onto the table. "A blood sacrifice got us into this one can get us back out of it."

Tristan scooped the book up and read the spell through a couple of times. She handed the book to Catherine and sighed. "I don't know why we didn't think of this before. It's going to take a lot of power to do that though," Tristan replied.

"There are 6 of us I'm sure we can handle whatever it is," Reid said from his seat in the armchair. He climbed out of the chair and crossed to the sofa. "What do we have to do?"

"It's basically the same spell," Caleb explained.

"Where did you find this," Catherine asked examining the front of the book. "I've never seen this book before."

"It was my dad's," Caleb said.

Tristan grabbed the book from Catherine and read the title. "No, no way Caleb," Tristan said angrily. "I know we said we would set it right but not with that!"

"What is it," Tyler demanded as he picked up the book.

"Dark magic," Tristan shouted. "He wants us to do black magic!"

"Will it bring her back," Reid asked quickly.

"Yes," Caleb said shooting Tristan a look.

"We won't know if it's really her though," Tristan explained. "It's like Elizabeth said. How much of what we bring back will really be Riley? We can't be sure it will be all Riley that we put back together."

"It will bring her back and that is all I care about right now," Caleb shouted. "We can fix the rest of it later!"

Tyler glanced between the siblings anxiously. "He has a point Tristan," Tyler pointed out. "We can fix it once she's back in her own body."

"No, I'm not doing it," Tristan repeated angrily. Reid turned her to look at him. She shook her head stubbornly.

"Tristan, it's the only option we have. We can't lose her. We did this to her and this is the only way we can get her back," Reid said softly.

"Not like this, there has to be another way," Tristan whispered. "Catherine tell them!"

Catherine glanced at each person in the room before speaking. "I agree with them Tristan. We can bring her back with this. Besides we don't know that she won't come back all right," Catherine explained.

Tristan pulled away from Reid and grabbed her jacket. She shook her head angrily and stormed out the door without another word.

"She'll come around," Catherine said. "Just give her some time."
