Chapter 4
A week had passed at Spenser, Reid and Marie's relationship was going strong, Sarah's hatred for Marie got worse and Pogue and Kate had broken up again.
Walking to the bar, Marie asked for a coke and rum and sat down at the closest barstool. The barman passed it too her she muttered a thanks and took a sip. The rum felt strong against her raw throat. She laid her head against the counter, when someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey there beautiful, what's up with you?" Marie turned and gave a big smile, thinking it was Reid, but the guy behind her was not him. She had seen him around Spenser but she never caught the name. He had brown curly hair and he was stunning. But he was not Reid. The boy took the seat next to her. "My name is Aaron, I haven't seen you around before, are you new?" he turned to the barman, "I'll have a Zombie please, thanks Blake."
"I arrived last week, my names Marie." she gave Aaron a sweet smile and gulped her drink down. "Another one please."
"Do want to go out sometime? I'm very courteous." Aaron winked and smiled to show all of his teeth.
"No thanks, I've got a boyfriend" She stood up and paid the bill, leaving her untouched drink and started to walk away from the bar. She didn't get very far as Aaron pulled her back.
"Who? Because I'm the only one who is good for any girls in Spenser." Aaron's face was now hard, he had never been rejected by anyone and he was going to make sure it never ever happened.
"Reid Garwin." Marie tried to get out of Aaron's grasp but he was too strong.
"Garwin, him? He is weak." Aaron's eyes were hard and they had turned black. Marie screamed. Around her the bar was in chaos, bar stools whirled around the room and hit glasses and people. Marie struggled and squirmed, trying to get out from this Monster's grasp.
"Marie" Reid came through, his eyes were also black, Aaron rocketed back and hit the counter but his grasp didn't let go so Marie went with him. She hit her head hard on something and passed out, everything was black and calm.
Marie opened her eyes slowly, she was back in her dorm and Kate and Sarah were over her. "You OK?" Kate asked, pumping up the pillows behind Marie's head.
"I'm fine. What happened?" she asked, pulling her head up, but pain rushed up her head. "Ow." she placed her hand behind her head and pressed her scalp gently. Pain came quickly obviously she had bruised herself when she hit the counter.
"Um, Aaron was bothering you and Reid punched him, but you got in the way."
"But chairs were flying all over the place, and Aaron's and Reid's eyes were black?"
"Well, you gulped down the drink, which made the alcohol stronger, so you were a bit drunk maybe you were hallucinating?"
"Maybe." Marie slowly got out of her bed and went to the door. "I need to see Reid." The two girls behind here stood in place and started chatting between themselves. Marie opened the door and heard Reid's and Calebs voices around the corner.
"I swear, Aaron is on of us. He had black eyes and everything. He was making the chairs flipping fly, how could that happen on its own?" Reid's voice was loud, Marie kept her back to the wall, edging closer to the corner.
"Maybe. But there were only five of us and the first born son got the powers. This doesn't make sense. We need to call a meeting. Meet at usual place, 6 o'clock tonight, everything will be set up, tell the others." Marie turned her head round the corner, she saw the back of Caleb's body walking away and Reid entering his dorm. Something was not right but she had to do a term paper by tomorrow so this problem would have to be found out another day.
