Long Lost
Chapter 3: Welcome To Ipswich
Kyra and Aaron stood before the cloaked figure that paced their steps. It was getting on their last nerves. "I honestly never thought about what she had said. They aren't dreams? We can't allow them both to remember their dreams. I can't allow them to know who they really are. We'll erase their memories of the dreams. If they join forces the moment that they see each other, they'll find out who I am and destroy me… regardless of what anyone says." The figure turned to the two servants.
"Well then what are supposed to do?" Aaron asked.
"We're going to erase each other from their memories, and bind Leon's premonition power. We can't chance him seeing the past... or the future. Not that it matters. Their future is short lived anyways." The figure informed. Kyra smiled as she nodded and collected some candles from her bag, while Aaron collected the ingredients and the cloaked figure drew the circle. They got everything set up and ready for the spell.

Caleb got up with a start. 'Someone's using…' He thought. He looked around the room. 'Where's Sarah?' "Sarah?" He called. He got no answer. He was about to get out of his bed when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and flipped it open. "Hello?"
"Caleb, its Pogue. Did you feel that?" He asked on the other line. Caleb looked around his room before he answered.
"Yeah, I did. I have a bad feeling about this… something big is gonna happen." He informed.
"Who do you think it was?"
"I don't know… call Reid." He ordered calmly.
"Alright, be careful." Pogue said over the phone, and then hung up. Caleb hung up the phone and set it down on the bedside table drawer.
"Sarah?" He called again as he got out of his bed and began walking out to the hall. He looked down the halls yet saw nothing. He walked down the hall until he heard something coming from the study. He looked at the closed door. He leaned against it and put his ear to the door. He heard voices coming from the room. He grabbed the handle and burst open the door hearing a blood curdling scream causing him to jump slightly.
"Son of a bitch Caleb!" Sarah said as she grasped her chest tightly. "You almost gave me a friggin' heart attack." She informed with a smile. Caleb exhaled.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He informed. "What are you doing up?" He asked her. "I heard voices." She pointed to the CD player.
"Book on CD, I like to follow along. I couldn't sleep after what I heard happened." She informed.
"I know. Professor Mayjors." He ended. They had found Mayjors body in the school last night at the school. They had said that the cause of death was mysterious. No wounds, no illness. It sounded like the kid that Chase murdered with his power… that is until they found that she had a massive amount of cocaine in her. They figured she had overdosed. It really pissed him off how she had been pegged as a drug addict now. They had to find out the cause of her death. But he'd save that for another time. "I know. It really freaks me out to." He said as he walked over to the love couch she was sitting in and sat beside her. He put his arm around her and she cuddled closer next to him.
"How long have you been up?" He asked her.
"Oh a couple hours, what are you doing up?" She asked. Caleb decided that he shouldn't worry her about it. She didn't need to know. It honestly didn't concern her. He didn't want to put her in danger, it'd make her paranoid.
"I just felt a little famished. So I got up and noticed you weren't in bed so I decided to look for you." He said with a smile. The little blonde smiled mischievously.
"Are you still hungry?" She asked slyly. Caleb put on a mischievous smile of his own.
"Actually… yeah, But I lost my appetite for food." He said as he trailed his finger across her shoulder. She smiled as she climbed onto him and straddled him and placed her lips on his in a soft warm kiss. Caleb slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth and explored her mouth as his hands began to undo the buttons of her red satin pyjama top.
She smiled and gently bit his bottom lip and playfully tugged lightly. She giggled as Caleb removed her shirt revealing her breasts and firm nipples. Her hands traveled down his back as he planted kisses down her chest and onto her left breast. She shuddered as her arousal rose higher and her restraint dropped. She crawled off of him, kneeled onto the floor in front of Caleb and began undoing his cotton pyjama bottoms, and pulled them off revealing his throbbing erection. She rubbed it up and down before grabbing it at the base and enveloping it in her mouth and sucked. Caleb groaned aloud as the pleasure built and built. He could feel Sarah smile around his erection.
He placed his left hand onto her head and gently grabbed her hair while his other hand rubbed against his chest and he began to rub his nipple. He could feel himself coming closer and closer to completion, and he guessed Sarah knew as well due to the fact that she seemed to suck harder and her head bobbed faster. His breathing quickened as it came closer and closer, and he yelled in pleasure as he shot into her mouth. She licked every drop of cum off of his erection before she began grazing her lips up his abs, then his chest, collarbone, neck, and then onto his lips, and she straddled him again and grinded into his cock making it harden again. She grabbed his finger which he had on her thigh and placed it into her mouth and she sucked on it for a while, while he kissed her hand. She removed his hand and placed his lips on hers.
While they kissed, Caleb's left hand was wrapped around Sarah's back, while his right hand slid down her bare torso and disappeared into her satin red pyjama bottoms and rubbed her clitoris. She moaned in pleasure as his saliva drenched finger entered her. She moaned in pleasure as his finger rubbed her g-spot. She shuddered as he began pushing in faster and faster. Her breathing quickened. She felt absolute pleasure. She groaned as he stopped, laid her down on the couch and pulled off her satin pyjama bottoms.
He bent over her and kissed blow her navel and planted kisses up to her lips. He reached over to the drawer beside the couch and pulled out a condom. He ripped the top off and rolled it onto his throbbing cock, and slowly entered her. She grunted in pleasure as he thrust into her again and again. She felt completely lost in ecstasy, total pleasure. He thrust into her again and again hitting her spot each and every time. After one more thrust he came with a jerk and they both moaned in pleasure. He pulled out of her and laid beside her. She cuddled into the crook of his arm.
"That was…"
"Amazing." Caleb finished her sentence. She smiled, and then chuckled. Caleb looked down at her. "What?" He asked. She looked up at him.
"Still hungry?" She asked. He laughed and thought about it for a moment.
"Yeah…" He looked up at the clock. "It's 6:46... Let's cook breakfast." He said. She giggled as she nodded her head.
"How about a shower first, I mean it's too early to cook breakfast anyways." She informed. He nodded as they both got up and walked to the bathroom, both in the nude.
¬
As much as he tried to he couldn't do it. It aggravated him to no end. He growled… why was such a task so difficult. He'd seen Tyler do it a million times. And he was pretty sure that Caleb and Pogue could as well. So why was it so hard for him! He gave up as he looked at the clock. He'd been trying for the past 45 minutes. He turned his attention to the ceiling and gave out a defeated grunt. "I'll never get back to sleep…" He said. Pogue had phoned him asking him if he had felt the power. He had… and that was why he was up tossing and turning trying to fall back to sleep. He sat up in his bed and looked at the empty bed on the other side of the room. It was weird without Tyler in the room. 'I mean, he has been gone before… but this time, I know that he isn't coming back. I wonder what my new roommate will be like?' he thought to himself.
He had been wondering that for a while now ever since he had found out Tyler was moving in with Pogue. And they hadn't informed him who his new roommate was yet. It was a complete mystery to him… and he hated mystery novels. He always flipped to the end of the book and figured it out because it was aggravating for him. He got out of his bed and began gathering his cloths. He grabbed a white long sleeved shirt and a grey tee shirt to wear over it, black cargo pants, and fingerless leather gloves with mesh sides, black socks, his black toque, and his black combat boots. Before he left the room to go to the shower he looked at the calendar. He then walked over to the photo of his mother. She was a very beautiful woman. In the picture she seemed to be in her early twenties. It was spring and she sat on a stone bench and had a lovely warm smile. She had waist length strawberry blonde hair, and wore a beautiful yellow sleeveless dress that had a flowing handkerchief hem and a lovely blush pink flower print, and a butterfly necklace with an emerald in the centre around her neck. He kissed his fingers and placed them on the cheek of the young woman. "Happy Birthday mom." He said as he left.
«
After his shower he walked back to his room fully dressed. He opened the dorm room door and entered it. He was so happy that today was a Sunday. He grabbed his cell phone and Tyler's car keys. 'He won't mind.' He thought. As he left the room a young girl bumped into him.
"Yo, watch where you're goin' asshole!" The young girl shouted at him. Reid looked at the girl. She seemed to be about 5'5". She had short black hair, her skin seemed a little pale and she wore black lipstick and small dark oval sunglasses. She wore a black tank top, with mesh arming and a black heavy jacket. On her legs she wore a black ruffled skirt with black and white stripped stockings and black pant boots with 1½" heels. She took off her glasses to reveal two dark eyes glaring at him. He looked back at her with a look of his own.
"The fuck are you talkin' about?! You crashed into me?" He shouted back.
"Hey I was watching were I was going, you on the other hand-"
"Whoa, what's going on here?" A voice asked. Kate and Pogue were walking towards the two. "Reid who's this?" Kate asked.
"She crashed into me on my way out of here." He informed sounding angry.
"My name's Rayne and this psycho son of a bitch crashed into me while I was looking for my dorm room." She informed. Kate looked a little surprised.
"Wait I don't think I've seen you around here?" She informed. Reid put on an impatient face.
"You a new student?" Pogue asked. Rayne nodded her head.
"Yeah, my brother and I transferred here today." She gave Reid a dark look. "I was looking for my dorm room when this asshole crashed into me."
"Bullshit! You're the one who ran into me and you know it!" The two began a shouting match at each other. Kate and Pogue just watched. Kate leaned back to whisper into her boyfriend's ear.
"My god… these two seem perfect for each other." She informed him. Pogue chuckled and the two turned and looked at Pogue.
"What!?" They yelled in unison. Kate jumped a little, and Pogue stared at the two with wide eyes.
¬
'Where the hell is that room?' He wondered. He and Rayne had left Kat at the Provost's office to look for their new dorm rooms as they discussed what Rayne called "Boring Stuff" and he had to agree. He was so curious to meet his new roommate. Would he be cute? Would he be gay? Could he be a witch as well? Or maybe a practitioner? Was he homophobic? Would he harm him if he found out he was gay? He had all these questions running in his mind. But first of all he had to find the room. He checked the names on the doors. Gregory and Kyle, Vicky and Mona, Janis and Quistis, Luke and Jacob… what was he looking for? Reid something… Garwin.
"Can I help you?" A voice asked. Leon turned around to see a girl that seemed to be about Kat's age. She had elbow length blonde hair and dashing green eyes. She seemed to be about 5'6". She wore an off-white ribbed turtleneck, with a black suede and faux-fur vest coat that reached down to her ankles, and slim-leg denim coordinate jeans, with black knit collar boots. She wore a daisy pendent that had a diamond in the centre. Leon smiled.
"Yeah, umm, do you know what room a Reid Garwin lives in?" He asked. She smiled and nodded.
"Yeah he lives one floor up. I'll take you there." She offered as she checked him out. He nodded his head as she walked beside him. "What brings you to Spencer Academy?" She asked.
"Uh, my dad died." He informed sadly. The girl stopped as they reached the stairs and looked at him.
"Oh, I'm-I'm sorry." She apologized. He shook his head.
"No it's alright. Anyways, umm, my father heard of this school and how good it was. He always wanted us to come here so we packed up and headed here." He said somewhat telling the truth as they continued and reached the stairs.
"We?"
"Yeah. Me and my step-sisters. We came from Toronto and-"
"This is a load of Bullshit!" A familiar voice shouted. The two teens looked up.
"That would be her." He informed as he rolled his eyes. The girl chuckled as they headed to the door.
¬
"Why are we still watching this?" Kate asked her brunette boyfriend who shrugged his shoulders.
"You know I think I oughta-"
"RAYNE!" The young girl turned to see her step-brother and another girl approaching her.
"Finally! It's about time! Where the hell have you been?!" She demanded. Leon was taken back by her current state.
"What the hell sis? What's gotten into you?" He asked curiously. Rayne pointed to the guy behind her and Leon looked and blushed when he saw the young blonde.
"This guy is my problem. He crashed into me!" She shouted. He looked at Rayne with a look of disbelief.
"Rayne… don't be so childish." He informed. She opened her eyes wide in shock. "Honestly. Try to be more mature." She gave him a scowl and turned to him.
"This isn't over blondie." She scowled. Then turned to look back at Leon. "What are you doing up here?" She asked him as she moved away from Reid.
"I'm looking for my dorm and according to… what is your name?" He asked the blonde girl beside him.
"Oh, sorry Krissy. Krissy Sharons." She informed.
"Leon." He said as he held out his hand and they shook. "According to Krissy, my dorm room is up here. Do any of you know a Reid Garwin?" Leon asked. The blonde hottie lifted his hand.
"I do." He informed. Leon smiled.
"Good. Can you show me to his dorm room?" Leon asked. Reid went over and turned the door knob on the door closest to him. Leon entered the room and put his bags onto the floor. The room was really nice. One bathroom with a medicine cabinet, one full length mirror, two desks, and one had a computer on it which he had guessed was Reid's, two single beds, one closet, and two drawers. While he was checking out the room he was unaware that a pair of grey eyes was watching him. "So where's my roommate?" He asked. Reid gave one of those charming smiles that most of the girls at Spencer Academy had the pleasure of seeing most days. And it made Leon blush when he saw it. Reid placed his hand out for Leon who took it and shook his hand. Leon suddenly felt his heart speed up.
"As you may already know, the name's Garwin. Reid Garwin." He informed.
"Leon… Leon Dames." He informed. And that's when Rayne got a little sick of the atmosphere, and turned to Krissy.
"Do you know a Kate Tunney? I'm her new roommate." She informed. Kate's eyes widened and started shaking her head. Pogue couldn't help but give a little jump of laughter. Kate elbowed Pogue in the chest.
"Umm yeah right there." Krissy informed pointing to Kate.
'Crap…' She thought as she forced smiled at Rayne.
"Could you take me there please? My bags are kinda heavy." Rayne informed. Kate nodded her head.
"Yeah sure, follow me." She agreed. "Wait for me here?" She asked Pogue who nodded his head. Kate left with Rayne following behind her. Leaving the three teens and Krissy who kinda felt awkward.
"Umm, I'm gonna go. It was nice meeting you Leon." She waved.
"Yeah, you too. Let's get together sometime." He suggested. She nodded.
"That'd be cool." She said as she left. The three teen boys went into the dorm.
Leon looked around the room. He went to one of the drawers and opened it. "Mind if I use the other drawer as well? I think I might have too many clothes." Reid smiled.
"Sure you can go into my drawers. You won't get an argument here." He said with a mischievous smile. Pogue smiled and rolled his eyes. Leon put on an embarrassed smile, quickly spun around and turned a dark crimson.
"Don't mind him. He's an ass." Pogue informed and decided to start up a conversation. "So, Leon is it?" He asked. Leon nodded, his face still heated up.
«
Later that day Rayne and Leon met up with Kat and they had gone out to lunch, just the three of them. Before they left them Reid, Kate, and Pogue informed the three of Nicky's, a local hangout. They agreed to meet up later. Leon stirred his coffee and seemed to be looking in deep space. Kat looked at him with a smile.
"What's with him? He seems like he's on cloud nine." She asked. Rayne scoffed as she nodded her head.
"Yeah he is. He almost got lucky right in the hallway. With the biggest asshole ever." She informed as she tried to stab the evasive meatball on top of her spaghetti with her fork. Kat laughed.
"I take it you don't approve?" She pointed out.
"Not in the least. I mean he's not even his type, he's gonna get hurt."
"Rayne it's not your decision. He's 17. I highly doubt that he's going to listen. And besides… he doesn't need his younger sister to protect him. And we hardly know him. What's his name?" She asked.
"Reid Garwin." She said in a mock voice. Kat chuckled. She looked at Leon's uneaten food.
"Leon?" No response. "Leon!" She said again. Leon quickly turned to look at her.
"Huh?" He asked accidentally spilling his coffee. Kat and Rayne laughed as Leon began cursing. "Fuck!"
"Don't worry about it, I got it." Kat said as her eyes blazed and the coffee was instantly, cleaned up, his clothes were dry and had no stains. He gave a hard look to Kat.
"You shouldn't have done that." He said. Kat just shook her head.
"Ahh, its one small measly thing. Besides It's my life." She said in her defence.
"Yeah, and I wish you took better care of it." He shot at her. "What would we do if we lost you?"
"Didn't you find that life essence thing in Patience's alchemy book?" Rayne asked. Leon sighed as he shook his head.
"She started an entry… but never got around to finishing it. She stated some theories on the stuff that it took to make it, so I'm gonna finish it." He stated.
"Good. Then I can have my fun and use as much as I want." Kat informed. Leon scoffed.
"The amount you use, you'll need to take it every freakin' day." He said jokingly. Kat scrunched up her nose and made a face at her step-sibling.
"So what classes are you two taking?" She asked changing the subject. Leon was the first to answer.
"Well I'm taking Occult Studies, Language Arts, Precalculus Math, Chemistry, Drama, Music, Homosexual Studies and Child Care." He informed.
"Did you ask him about you're request?" She asked. Leon turned beet red and nodded his head as did Rayne. "What did he say?"
"He said he'd give me both… just in case I changed my mind or decided to alternate." He informed. Rayne rolled her eyes.
'And I thought he couldn't get any gayer.' She thought to herself.
"And what about you surly? What are you taking?" Kat asked with a smirk. Rayne gave her the finger and Kat feigned hurt.
"Well… I'm taking Occult Studies as well, Language Arts, Drama, Art, Precalculus Math, Foods, and Metaphysics." She informed.
"Cool." She said. "So what are the plans tonight?" She asked.
"Well, the people we met today said something about this place called Nicky's. I personally think that it might be worth checking out." Leon informed.
"Do you really mean that or are you just interested because that hot head is gonna be there?" Rayne asked suspiciously.
"Am I that transparent?" He asked. The girls smiled.
"Yes." They said together. Leon gave them a dirty look.
«
Leon now wore black leather jeans, a tight black tee shirt and a leather duster. On his feet he wore black 6" riding boots with a metal ornament of a rose on the ankles. Kat wore a spice coloured knit tank top with a matching linen gaucho, and long black leather high heel boots. Rayne wore loose fit black jeans, a black tank top, fishnet gloves, a black jacket, a black toque, and black combat boots.
Leon sat and laughed with his newfound friends. He chatted with Pogue, Kate, Krissy, Kat, Rayne, Reid, and two new people. Caleb Danvers and Sarah Wenham. They were a cute couple. Caleb was a tale short haired brunette that had a piercing dark brown gaze. Sarah was a perky blonde that had dazzling greenish-grey eyes. Leon saw the way Kat looked at Caleb. She liked him just as much as he liked Reid.
"Wow. So how long have you guys known each other?" Kat asked.
"Well me, Pogue, Reid and Tyler have known each other since we were little. Our families were really close. We're like brothers." Caleb informed. Rayne looked confused.
"Tyler?" She asked.
"Tyler Sims is another one who's part of the gang. He's in Washington right now in some kind of trivia competition." Kate informed. "I've known these guys since I was in Kindergarten. And I started dating Pogue about three years ago." She informed as she kissed Pogue on the lips.
"I've known them for about two weeks now. I transferred here from Boston." Sarah informed.
"Wow. Two weeks and you guys seem so inseparable." Kat noticed about her and Caleb. Sarah blushed.
'Very subtle sis.' Rayne thought. "And you?" She asked Krissy.
"Oh… well I've heard of these guys. But I've never actually hung out with these guys." She informed. "But Kate and I hang out sometimes." She informed. "When she's not attached to Pogue that is." She said with a smile. Kate stuck her tongue out at the dirty blonde.
"Any of you up for a game of pool?" Reid asked as he got up.
"Sure. I'm up for it." Leon stood up.
"Same here." Krissy agreed.
"Count me in too." Rayne said as they headed for the pool table.
"Pogue." Caleb called. The long haired swimmer looked at Caleb as he nodded towards the foosball table. Pogue nodded.
"Loser buys winner a drink." Pogue wagered. Caleb put on a smiled.
"You're on." He said as the last two remaining males left the table. The girls looked on as they began chatting.
«
"So, wanna make a wager?" Reid asked. Leon rolled his eyes and pretended to think about it.
"Hmm… sure. Why not." He said as he grabbed a pool cue. And the girls smiled.
"I'm up for it." Krissy said. Rayne had to smile.
'We're so gonna win. Leon will probably use his powers to impress the jackass and win.' "So, how much cash then?" She asked as she fished out her wallet.
"Uh uh. This wager will be between me and Leon." He informed. Rayne looked confused to say the least. "If you win, you get to kiss me." He said. Krissy and Rayne's faces went in complete shock, yet Leon put a smile on.
'Crap! Leon will defiantly use now.' She cursed in her mind. Leon put on a playful smile.
'I'd love to see that… I think I'll throw the game.' Krissy thought.
"And if you win?" He asked. Reid put another smile.
"Doesn't matter, I plan on throwing the game anyways." He said as he bent over the pool table. Leon laughed as Reid took his first shot. Out of the corner of her eye Rayne could've sworn she saw Krissy thrust her arm in the air.
'DAMMIT!' Rayne thought. "Whoa whoa whoa! What the hell? I don't think so." Rayne said. Leon shot his step sister a threatening glare that said to her "SHUT UP!" It amazed her how he could be like two very different people. He wasn't schizophrenic or anything, but it amazed her how one minute he was the shyest most modest person in the room, the next he was a massive cocky flirt. Growing up she had kinda teased him for being an A student, truth be told she was jealous of his smarts. Growing up she was jealous of him a lot. But ever since her mom died, Leon losing David, and Leon saving her from being raped by Luke… she's not that jealous anymore. In her mind she thought that she has grown up. But now she feels that she owes him for so much. He welcomed her into his home and his heart. He's watched over her. She felt like she had to watch over him now.
The girls decided to leave this one out… much to Rayne's protests to stay in. So while they watched they chatted. "So tell me about this guy… what is he like? The type to fuck 'em and leave 'em?" She asked Krissy who smiled.
"Well it is true that Reid's sort of a playboy and has had his experiences, but they are very rare. But he still has enough balls to actually call a girl or, as most of us were shocked to find out a week ago, guy the next day and explain why she or he didn't wake up in his arms the next day. But truth be told, he's a really nice guy. A little immature I must say, but there are times when he can surprise you… especially when it comes to pranking. But he and Caleb are like every straight girls, gay boys and bisexual beings recurring dream." She informed. Rayne nodded slowly.
"Interesting. Have… you and him… you know…"She asked nervously. 'Why am I asking this? Oh yeah for Leon's sake.' She told herself. Krissy blushed and shook her head.
"Me? No, as much as I want to I highly doubt I'd be his type. I mean here's me. I have like a 3.6 GPA and I love writing, reading, and other stuff like that. Plus there's the age difference. He's 17, I'm 19. I started school to late. My parents died when I was young and my grandparents didn't send me to school until I was 6." She informed. "As much as I want to be in the sack with him… he's seems more like the type of guy I'd think of while I'm masturbating, but that's about it. Pogue on the other hand." she said with a smile. Rayne laughed but stopped when she heard Leon.
"8 ball corner pocket." He stated. Reid looked confused.
"You can't do that. You still got like three balls left." Reid pointed out. Leon concentrated his power and hit the cue ball. It hit the 8 ball sending it bouncing off the side, into the 15 making it send the 4 and 2 balls into the top corner pockets, but the 15 bounced back hitting the 5 ball into the side pocket then it continued and hit the 8 ball into the lower right corner pocket. Reid and Krissy stared completely astonished. Rayne chuckled.
'Kind of overkill bro?' She asked in her head. "Woo. Go Leon. Okay next game right?" She asked.
"Not until I receive my prize." Leon said as he turned his attention to Reid. Rayne frowned as she saw Reid walk up to Leon and put his arm around his waist pulled him in to his chest. Leon got on his tip toes to reach the lips of the young blonde. The kiss was rough, yet still had subtlety to it. Rayne turned away as she heard cat calls, wolf whistles and hoots of the sorts. She saw Krissy watching biting her lower lip. She swatted her in the shoulder.
"What? It's hot." Krissy informed. Rayne shuddered and rolled her eyes.
¬
Kat and the two girls looked to see what was causing the commotion, to find Leon and Reid macking out on top of the pool table. Kat smiled and rolled her eyes as she turned back to her plate of fries.
"Just another normal night at Nicky's." Kate said with a chuckle.
"What, has your brother made out with another guy in public too?" She asked.
"Well…" Kate began.
"Don't answer that." Kat ordered with a smile.
"Hey you two! Stop it or take it somewhere else." Nicky ordered. Kat turned to see Leon get off the table and straighten his clothes. He really surprised her. It seemed that this Reid had an effect on him… and Rayne. She chuckled as she saw Krissy trying with all her might to hold back the petit girl. She then turned and looked at the girls.
"So. Why don't you tell me about these guys, what're they like?" She asked.
"Well, Caleb is like the leader. He's a pretty down to earth guy. He rarely gets angry in public, but when he does you always know who the cause of his anger is. It's usually Reid. He likes to use in the open when he thinks no one is looking yet." Sarah informed. Sarah jumped when she felt a sudden pain shot through her leg. "Oww." She said as she looked at Kate who seemed to glare at her.
"Use? He's into drugs?" Kat asked a little concerned for what her little brother may be getting into. The girls quickly shook their heads.
"No! No nothing like that, when we say use we mean his fists. Caleb is like the older brother Reid never wanted, and Reid gets into a lot of fights." Kate said. There was ruffling and grunts going on behind them. "Like now." Kate pointed out. Kat turned around to see a guy with chestnut ear length hair shove Leon and Reid to the ground.
"Crap." Kat said under her breath as she got up.
¬
Leon looked up at the guy who shoved him and Reid to the floor. He never liked conflict and took no part unless it was absolutely necessary or life or death. Reid got up and shoved the guy back.
"Fuck off Aaron!" He ordered the brunette.
"Make me faggot!" Reid pulled his hand back to slug Aaron in the face when it was stopped mid way down. He felt someone holding his arm. He looked to see the force that was stopping him pummel Aaron Abbot and saw Caleb holding his arm.
"Don't Reid. He's not worth it." Caleb informed. Reid was huffing and puffing. He was furious with him. Aaron put on a cocky grin.
"Yeah. Listen to the underwear model, cock sucker." Aaron said as he turned to leave. Leon glared and then smiled, as did Reid. Leon squinted his eyes and the ceiling light fell and whacked Aaron in the head. Reid's eyes turned obsidian black and a man shooting at pool hit the ball to hard and the cue ball flew and hit Aaron in the crotch. He doubled over in pain as everyone in the bar doubled over in laughter. He slowly rose to his feet, but Kat thought that wasn't enough.
'No one pushes my brother around.' She thought as her eyes blazed. Two girls were playing on the foosball table when one hit the ball and it went flying hitting Aaron in the head causing him to fall to the floor again as the entire room burst into uproarious laughter.
Caleb looked at Reid, who looked back completely astonished. He mouthed the words 'that wasn't you?' Reid shook his head. He looked back at Pogue who was completely shocked as well. There was no way in hell it could've been Tyler. They had all felt it.
'Where did they come from?'
«
'It worked' Kyra said to herself as she watched from a distance. 'They don't remember each other.' She said as she left the bar feeling slightly sorry for Aaron. "Well I'm gonna have to amuse myself tonight." She said to herself. Aaron came out of the bar groaning.
"How much more of this are we gonna have to put up with this?" He asked. She sighed.
"As long as it takes. But it seems that his spell worked. Leon and Reid didn't even seem to recognize each other." She informed. Aaron managed a smile and nodded.
"He says that we're getting closer… do you think we'll ever see his face?" Aaron asked. Kyra shrugged as they walked to his truck.
"I don't know… but there's something about him that strikes me as odd." She said.
"And that is?" He asked.
"Well he seems a little feminine. I don't know." She said as she shrugged it off. And got into the car.

Leon looked at his watch. "Ugh… school starts tomorrow." He whined, Kat smiled and chuckled.
"Anyone need a ride?" Reid offered.
"Yeah, I'll take your offer." Leon said. Rayne was quick to jump in as well.
"Yeah I need a ride too." She stated. Kat smiled at the look on Leon's face which was of complete annoyance.
"Umm, Rayne you can come with me." She said. Rayne shot a death glare at her that shouted 'STAY OUT OF THIS!'
"But-"
"Ginger…" Kat said firmly. Rayne heard someone snicker behind her and quickly turned to see Reid with a smug grin on his face.
'UGH what an ass!' She thought as she went over to Kat's car and got in the passenger seat. Leon waved good bye as they left.
"Bye Leon. See you in class tomorrow." Krissy waved. As she headed to her black and red PCG 600 motorcycle. Leon waved and smiled as she put her helmet on, started it, and drove off.
Leon got into the hummer as did Reid. He saw Caleb and Sarah leave followed by Pogue and Kate on Pogue's Ducati. "Well let's get this son of a bitch moving." Reid announced. Leon chuckled as they left Nicky's parking lot.
¬
"Reid meet us at the Danvers' Colony house. Something is going on and I want to find what it is." Caleb said over the phone, concern apparent in his voice. Reid paced the dorm room as he spoke to Caleb. Leon had gone to have a shower.
"What am I gonna tell Leon? I'm going out to get some milk?" He asked.
"Just leave a note saying you're spending the night at a friends. It's the truth ain't it?" Reid thought about it.
"So I take it I'm spending the night at your place then?"
"Yeah. I guess. If that'll get you over here. Pogue's on his way here and Tyler is gonna be video conferencing." Caleb informed. Reid looked around his room and sighed. He really wanted to be here for Leon's first night.
"Alright. I'll be there in a while." He said with reluctance clear in his voice. He heard Caleb chuckle.
"You really like this guy, don't you?" He asked.
"Not that it's any of your fucking business but yeah… I do. I just get this feeling around him. But, that's not the matter right now. I'll see you in a bit." He said as he hung up the phone. He looked for a pen and paper. Once he found one he wrote down a note for Leon. He honestly didn't know why he was explaining his absence to a guy he just met today. He set the note out in the open and gathered a few things to take to Caleb's. He grabbed his uniform for school tomorrow and toothbrush, and some other stuff as well. He put them in his bag and left the room.

"I mean what do you even see in him? He's an asshole. A complete and utter asshole. I mean come on you can do so much better then that freakin' pretty boy." Rayne said as she stood at the sink brushing her teeth. Leon was in the middle of his shower when she had came in and went to the female showers. She never understood why Leon took almost forever in the showers. How long does it take for one person to wash their body and hair? She only took about 20 minutes and she's been out for 15.
"I don't know. It's just that he… kind of reminds me of David." He informed. Kat stopped what she was doing for a moment. She couldn't argue with him. Not because she knew him… it was the complete opposite. She hardly knew him. She never gave him the chance. She had no right to say anything.
"Really?" She asked as she looked to the showers.
"Yeah. David was a little ambitious and playful. He was kind and protective. To tell you the truth. I always thought that I'd never find anybody after what happened to David. But seeing Reid… I felt that feeling again. Dad always told me that you'll know you found the right one just by their touch. I never believed him though." He informed.
"Until you met David right?" Rayne asked with curiosity. She heard Leon chuckle.
"No. I didn't feel it. But that doesn't mean I didn't love him." He told her. "I did with all my heart and I always will. He made me feel like I was wanted, like I belonged. But I believe dad now." Rayne looked confused.
"Why? How?" She asked. He came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. He had a smile on his face.
"Because I felt it today. When I shook his hand." He said looking like he was on cloud nine. Rayne smiled and rolled her eyes.
"You sure what you were feeling wasn't hormones?" She asked jokingly.
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure." He laughed as he grabbed his green plaid pyjama pants and his grey tee shirt and went to a bathroom stall to change. Before he entered though he stopped and turned to Rayne. "Hey. You think he could be one of the Sons of Ipswich?" He asked. Rayne started laughing. "What? Hey it's possible." He said. She turned to him.
"Yeah right. According to my mothers Tome of Ages the ones with the Power are respectable families. They are wise and honourable. Although it's been ages since the other ones with the Power came into contact with my family. I don't know why the book doesn't say anything about their names but… I highly, highly doubt that that jackass is one of them… come to think of it the only other family that is mentioned in the book is John Putnam." She informed.
"And may I ask why is John Putnam the only name mentioned in the book?" He asked.
"Well not to sound like a broken record but-"
"You don't know." Leon interrupted.
"Would you like to teach the class?" She asked with an annoyed smile.
"No. Please continue." Leon encouraged. Rayne took a deep breath and exhaled.
"Anyways. The book mentions that John Putnam once tried to seduce Josephine, my ancestor, one of the first to receive the Power and the only female, and failed multiple times so he put a spell on one of her close friends to accuse her of being a witch. The Oracle foresaw the witch trials and warned the ones with the Power. The men escaped to Massachusetts and began the Ipswich Colony, but Josephine, who felt threatened by John Putnam, escaped to the northern regions of the continent. She lived a new life, one free of persecution. Where no one knew her, or her daughter Cassandra. They lived a long life and the Stanson generation continues with the one tradition." She said.
"And that is?" Leon asked as he left the stall and walked to the sink and started applying facial cream.
"No Stanson will ever take their husbands last name. It's never been broken either." She informed.
"Interesting. Come to think of it… I haven't seen the Tome of Ages in like forever." Leon informed with a thoughtful look on his face. "You guys did bring it right?" He asked. Rayne nodded.
"Kat's got it back at the apartment. Why?" She asked.
"Well I wanted to look through it, that's all." He told her.
"We'll look at it tomorrow after school." Rayne suggested. Leon looked down at his watch. "It's 12:18. We should get to bed." Leon suggested. Rayne yawned and nodded.
"First day of classes for us." She said. They were about to leave the room when a high pitched scream shattered the haunting silence of the dorm hallway. Leon and Rayne ran out of the bathroom and ran down the hall. "Where the hell did that come from?" Rayne asked as they dashed down the flights of stairs.
"I think it came from outside." He guessed. They ran outside to see Kate being chased by darklings. "Oh shit!" He cursed. He threw his hands up and one of the darklings blew up.
"What the hell!? Why are they attacking her?" Rayne asked as she stood behind Leon, who shook her head.
"I don't know, but we can't let them get her!" He ordered as he blew another darkling into dust. She knew it was an inappropriate time, but she felt the twinge if jealousy rise within her whenever either of them used in front of her. She shook it off and ran to Kate, who was leaning against a tree screaming bloody murder. Rayne saw one darkling coming towards her and she yelled.
"Kate watch out!" Rayne screamed. Kate turned in the direction of the oncoming darkling and before she had a chance to react it crashed into her sending flying into a tree. Leon quickly blasted the darkling into smithereens and ran to check on her. Rayne stood at her side and helped her up. Leon leaned forward and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Are you okay?" He asked. She looked at him and was about to respond when she screamed. The two turned to see the cause of her outburst. A darkling was charging right at them Leon was about to blow it up when all of a sudden out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kate point her finger at the creature and a pink dome formed around her and the two siblings. The darkling crashed into the dome and, as if it were sucked into the thin veil, disappear head to toe. Kate stared in horror at what she saw. Leon looked at her in awe. The darklings then began to disappear until none where seen anymore.
"What the hell was that? You destroyed those things… with your hands!" Kate exclaimed. Leon took a step forward and held out his hand to her.
"Kate listen, I-" Leon was sent flying back when Kate rose her hands up in defence. Her eyes even wider then they are, and then she fainted. Rayne ran to Leon's side.
"Whoa, are you okay?" She asked. Leon's vision was out of focus. He shook his head trying to see straight.
"Yeah. But I think my pride's a little broken." He informed. Rayne chuckled and rolled her eyes. They looked at the sleeping form on the ground. "Is she a witch?" He asked.
"Looks like it… but I don't think she knew." She sighed. "Is that even possible?" Rayne asked looking at Leon with curiosity. Leon shrugged his shoulders shaking his head.
"We should call Kat. Here help me carry her to my dorm." He ordered. Rayne nodded her head as she hoisted one side of Kate onto her shoulder and Leon took the other side and they headed to the dorms.

Caleb watched Reid walk down the stairs. "It's about time." He scolded. Reid glared at Caleb.
"Sorry your highness." He retorted as he took his seat at the upper left corner of the pentagram. Pogue was sitting at the upper right corner, Tyler's head was on the lower left corner and Caleb took his seat at the top point.
"So what's this meeting for?" Tyler asked. Caleb looked at the video screen.
"Tonight someone used. And it wasn't any of us. Did you use at all Tyler?" Caleb asked. The raven haired boy shook his head.
"I didn't use at all. But I did feel it. I thought it was Reid." Tyler informed. Reid put on a serious face.
" ONCE! I only used a small amount to get back at Aaron. Why does everyone always assume it's me?!" He scowled under his breath. The guys looked at him in disbelief.
"Gee I wonder why dumbass." Pogue insulted.
"Fuck you." Reid shot back.
"Guys! Cut it out. Someone used and it wasn't any of us. Do you think it could've been Chase?" Tyler asked. Caleb closed his eyes, shrugged and shook his head.
"I don't know. It could be a possibility, but don't you think he would've shown himself by now?" Reid added.
"He likes to play with peoples heads. But Reid is right about one thing. He only used once. Aaron was hit with a part of the Power that wasn't any of ours. And I highly doubt it was Chase because that would've put him in our favour and I highly doubt he would. As for the other… It seemed unfamiliar to me. But I don't think it's a threat to us." Caleb informed.
"How can you be sure?" Reid asked. Caleb shrugged.
"I don't know. I didn't feel any malice in the Power. But I felt like it was calling out to me." He informed.
"Do you think it has anything to do with what the Oracle said?" Pogue suggested.
"Maybe. She said something about the Divine Child? What is that anyways?" Reid asked.
"Not what. Who." Tyler informed. All eyes turned to the video screen. "The Divine Children are witches who have an extraordinary power that match ours, if not surpass it. They say that every 10 years ten human beings from different places in the world are bestowed immense powers. According to the Book of Damnation, Ipswich once was home to 3 of these children, but the book doesn't mention any of their history, mostly because the book involves our family history. But it does mention three names and the cause of them. Warren, Owens, and Bailey. It states that Malinda Warren was burned at the stake, Maria Owens moved to an island and later was sentenced to be hanged for adultery and accusations of being a witch, and what became of Dalia Bailey is unrecorded. Yet Malinda Warren had a daughter who was taken in by a family, nothing is recorded about what happened to Maria Owens after her sentence was supposedly carried out.'
"Anyways, a Divine Child is always protected by a human chosen by the Gods, these humans are known as the Blessed Ones." He continued. "They come into their powers when they come into contact with ANY Divine Child."
"So what does this have to do with us?" Reid asked.
"I don't know. But I do know that what the Oracle said is starting." Caleb informed. All eyes turned to him. "It's starting and we need to find out who these people are." He said.
"What about the other that is using the Power?" Pogue asked. Caleb shrugged his shoulders.
"We'll find out." He said unaware that a pair of ears were listening from the top of the stone stairs.
¬
Kat sat beside the still sleeping form of Kate. "She made a shield of magic out of her hands?" She asked. Leon nodded.
"I don't know what happened. It just came out of nowhere and sent Leon onto his ass." Rayne informed. She turned to Leon who was reading the Tome of Ages. And then out of nowhere his mind just jumped.
"Why do you guys call this the Tome of Ages?" He asked. "It's basically the Stanson Book of Shadows."
"Well it's been in the family for generations. It's recorded everything about every family member since the 17th century." Kat said.
"Hence why we call it the Tome of Ages. It's been in the family for ages." Rayne finished. She noticed something out of the corner of her eye. She saw something on Leon's dresser. A note. "What's this?" She asked. Leon got up and walked over to the dresser and picked it up and read it.
"Sorry I couldn't be here for your first night.
Something came up and I'm spending the night
At a friends. See you in class.
Reid"
"Aww… ain't that too bad?" She said. 'At least he won't be able to violate you tonight.' She thought with a smirk. Leon gave her a dirty look.
"Rayne?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up." He ordered as he went back to the book. As he scanned the pages of the ancient texts of spells and history he heard the girl groan and stir from her sleep. She opened her eyes, took one look at Leon and began to freak. She jumped out of the bed and pressed herself against the wall.
"YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!" She screamed pointing at Leon.
"WOAH WOAH! Calm down. We're not gonna hurt you." Kat promised.
"HOW THE FUCK DO I KNOW THAT!?" She shouted again.
"HEY! We fucking saved your life! Don't you think that means we're the good guys?" Rayne yelled. Kate seemed to calm down slightly before her face changed and looked like she was in pain.
"Why the hell must this always happen to me? Could you please tell me what the hell is going on?" She asked. Leon closed his eyes and began thinking. He then froze Kate in place and his siblings turned to look at the boy.
"Why'd you do that?" Rayne asked.
"Should we tell her the truth? You know, everything?" He asked.
"Well those darklings are after her… I think she's a part of this just as much as we are now." Kat said.
"Yeah… but what is her connection to this? I mean there has to be a certain reason the darklings are after her." Rayne pointed out. Leon nodded his head.
"So we tell her everything then?" Leon asked. The two Stanson girls nodded their heads. "Kat once you get back to the apartment look up her power. See if you can find anything okay?" Leon added. Kat nodded her head as he unfroze Kate. "Okay Kate. We'll tell you everything. But you have to promise that you won't tell a single living soul. Got it?" He asked. She nodded her head as she got up and sat on the bed and Leon began telling her their story.
«
Kate stared at them wide-eyed. "You're not bullshitting." She said. Leon shook his head. She looked at the floor. 'Maybe I could trust them with Pogue's secret. No. I'd better not. I was sworn to secrecy by them as well. But then again they're looking for them… that still isn't good enough reason. They may try to hurt them.' "Alright. Say I was to believe you but what does this have to do with me?" She asked.
"We don't know. But we're looking into it. We'll inform you if we find anything out okay?" Kat promised. Kate nodded her head.
"It also is better if you don't tell anyone about your powers okay?" Leon informed. Kate again nodded her head. "Alright. I think we should get to bed."
"Yeah. You're right. See you guys." Kate said as she left the room a little fast. Kat turned to her two younger siblings.
"Think she'll be alright?" Kat asked. Leon took in a deep breath.
"It's a lot to take in… but I think she'll be just fine." He said. Kat nodded.
"Kay guys. Have a good first day of school kay? Bye." She said as she took the Tome of Ages and left. Rayne was right behind her.
"Night Leon." She said.
"Night." He replied. The door was closed and he was left alone in the room. He looked around and saw some pictures on the wall and on Reid's desk. He wished to inspect them but decided not to. It had been a long night and he was pretty sure that tomorrow was to be a long day. He pulled back the covers and turned off the light and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
