Chapter 3

Author: Just a side note, this chapter I know is not going to follow the movie. I needed to get something in before the night at Nicky's so just bare with me. This is the part where Kegan finds out about their powers and I noticed that it wouldn't fit in with the movie, I am adding my own part to it. Just thought I would let everyone know so I wouldn't confuse you. Enjoy!

"Come on lets go. We are going to be late." Michelle yelled to her roommate. Kegan shifted in her bed and opened her eyes.

"What time is it?" Kegan asked yawning.

"7:30 in the morning. What did you do last night?"

"Just went out with Reid."

"Oh yeah did you guys have fun?"

"He's been acting weird lately. Like there is something he wants to tell but he can't find a way to tell me. I don't know, something's up."

"Well you should talk to him about it."

"He just avoids the conversation every time I bring it up."

Michelle laughed. "Well it sounds like a typical guy to me."

Kegan smiled before throwing the covers off her body. She walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a shirt to wear, before going into the bathroom. As she finished getting ready there was a knock on the door.

"You aren't ready yet?" Kate asked walking in.

"I just got up." Kegan answered.

"You are so lazy."

Kegan laughed. "Me and Reid stayed out all night last night."

"Looking at the stars again?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, but I was just trying to talk to him. He is being weird."

"Yeah, well Pogue's always weird so don't take it personally."

Kegan laughed as she grabbed her bag off the chair by her desk. The girls walked together to class. Kegan found her seat next to Reid taken, the only other seat left was the one next to Caleb's arch rival. Aaron Abbot. She moved over to the seat as she saw Aaron smiling at her. He had planned this and she knew it. He has been trying to get with her since last summer. She rolled her eyes before removing her bag from her shoulder.

"Hey there." Aaron whispered. She turned to him and smiled a snobbish smile. The class had begun, she looked over at Reid was staring at her. She rolled her eyes and smiled at him. He looked mad, but smiled back. Caleb turned around to see Kegan sitting behind him. He gave her a questioning look, before turning back around. "Well looks like the clan is trying to figure you out beautiful."

"Don't flatter me Aaron. I know you did this on purpose." Kegan answered

Aaron laughed, "You're right. I had this planned all along."

"Doesn't surprise me much."

"You know you can just go out with me and this could all be over."

She turned to him and smiled "I am with Reid and you know that. Everyone knows, but you just don't give up. I don't want to be with you and I wouldn't be with you if you were the last person on this earth. So do me a favor and stop talking to me because you are annoying me." She bluntly replied still smiling. She turned back towards the professor who was staring straight at her. She gave an apologetic smile, before opening her notebook.

After class Reid stormed out of the classroom after Aaron. "HEY!" he yelled. Kegan came running out.

"Reid don't do this." She begged.

Aaron turned around with a smile on his face. "Yes?"

"What gives you the right to even remotely look at my girlfriend?"

"Hey man, she is the one who sat next to me." Kegan glared at him. Reid moved forward.

"Not here!" she exclaimed grabbing his arm.

"Yeah listen to her Reid. You don't want to get your ass kicked in front of everyone." Aaron stated.

Reid glared as he moved forward again. "I'm not afraid of you Aaron. You need to stay away from my girlfriend."

Aaron smiled and nodded his head. "Ok!" Aaron smiled at Kegan before turning around and walking away.

"Calm down baby." Kegan replied rubbing his shoulders.

"What's going on?" Caleb asked.

Reid looked up at him with the same pissed off face. "It's just Aaron." Kegan replied for him.

"What did he do this time?" Pogue asked.

"He's just being himself, as usual." Kegan kept her eyes on Reid as he continued to watch Aaron walk away.

"That ass is going to pay one day." Reid spat.

"Don't do anything Reid. You are going to let him win if you do something."

"I am going to kick the shit out of him that's what I am going to do."

"Caleb!" Kegan turned to her brother for help. "You guys he didn't do anything that he hasn't been doing since I moved here."

"Maybe he needs a good ass kicking to let him know who runs things around here." Tyler stated.

Kegan's head shot straight towards him. "No, no fighting." Kegan demanded.

"Why were you sitting next to him in the first place?" Pogue asked.

"He had some stupid girl switch places with me so I had to sit next to him. He's just being childish ok. Nothing more and just let him be immature. It's not doing anything to me, but annoying me. That's all. He hasn't hurt me or done anything to me to actually make you guys want to kick his ass. So just leave it alone." Kegan responded.

Reid began shaking his head. "No, he needs to be taught a lesson."

"Reid!" she yelled. "Don't do anything." All the boys had pissed looks on their faces. She knew no matter how hard she tried they were all going to do something to Aaron. She looked to Pogue for support, but nothing. He agreed with everyone else. "You guys, I am begging you not to do anything. I don't want to see you guys get kicked out or get into trouble."

"Fine, we wont do anything." Reid suddenly answered. She looked at him and started laughing.

"You suck at lying Reid."

Reid looked over at her. "He needs to stop doing what he is doing. He is going to take it way too far one day."

"He is just some stupid boy. Just leave it alone. He's not going to do anything."

"You are my girlfriend and I have every right to protect you from pricks like him." Reid got into her face.

"And you are my boyfriend and I have every right to beat the hell out of you because you are being stupid."

"Stupid?"

"Yes, you do this then you are stupid." She was getting mad. When she got mad she never made any sense. Reid laughed at her. "This isn't funny." She stated crossing her arms over her chest.

"Baby…" Reid started. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "Fine, we wont do anything to him. But the next time he remotely smiles at you or says a word to you then I am going to have a talk with him."

"Thank you." She smiled. Reid rolled his eyes, he knew he had been beat. Caleb and Pogue died out laughing.

"Shut the hell up you two." Reid stated. Kegan began laughing as well.

"I am going to go. I need to study some." She finally replied. "I'll talk to you guys later."

Reid kissed her on the cheek, before he let her go. They watched her leave before talking. "You guys meet me at the cliffs tonight. I need to tell you something." Caleb responded.

"Tell us what?" Reid asked.

"I cant tell you here. Just meet me around eleven tonight."

"Caleb, why always so late at night? We are always meeting at this place."

"Reid, stop complaining. Do you have something better to do?"

"Yeah, sleep." He retorted.

"Just meet us." Caleb was annoyed. He turned around and walked away.

"You are wiped man." Pogue stated with a laugh.

"Shut the hell up Pogue!" Reid was glaring at him. Pogue began laughing before walking away.

Kegan slammed her book on the desk. She had been studying for four hours. She looked outside and saw that it had already gotten dark. She groaned and threw herself on her bed. Michelle was gone off to her boyfriends and probably wouldn't be coming back that night. Her eyes were heavy, but she knew she had to keep studying. She had to do good on her exam the next day. She looked outside again. It was around 11:15, and she knew tonight was a clear night. She had tried calling Reid, but he never did answer. She grabbed her coat off her chair and put it on, before going out into the hallway. The hallway was empty, so she knew no one would stop her. She made her way to the main door and walked out looking all around for security. She smiled when no one was in sight. She took off running towards the cliffs. The stars were so much more visible out there and plus the view was amazing. She smiled as she began to run. She had been out here so many times, but she always brought a flashlight in case she got lost. As she made it to the clearing she heard voices coming from the cliff.

"Did you guys hear about that boy?" Caleb asked.

"The one that was killed?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah, well I saw him today. I was driving and a darkling appeared in my car next to me. It was the boy that was killed."

"How?" Reid asked

"I don't know, but I woke up last night having this feeling that someone is using." His eyes shot to Reid. Reid went to say something, but Kegan stepped on a branch which made it crack. All the boys' eyes shot straight towards her direction, but she was behind a tree. Reid's eyes turned black and was ready to attack what was behind the tree.

"Who's out there?" Caleb yelled, but no one answered. She was scared.

"What do we do?" Tyler asked.

Caleb's eyes turned black as he brought a ball of force to his hand. Right before he threw it, Kegan stepped out from behind the tree with a smile on her face which was replaced by fear. She started screaming, dropping the flashlight, and running in the opposite direction. She had tears flowing down her cheeks. She could hear them screaming behind her but she didn't care. She made it into the clearing where she could see the school. She stopped and look behind her, no one was there. She leaned against a tree to catch her breath and process what she just saw. She heard ruffling of leaves and took off running again, but someone caught her in his arms. She began fighting him and screaming for help.

"Hey hey, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Please I need your help. Something happened. I'm so scared." She begged.

"Its ok. Why are you out here this late? Didn't you hear about that boy that was killed?"

"Please, I don't know what to do."

"Its ok. You're safe now."

"Please I just want to go. I just want to leave this place."

"Ok, are you staying in the dorms?" he asked still having his arm around her.

She nodded her head. "I'm Chase by the way." He replied.

"Kegan." She whispered.

"You know its pretty dark out here, I'm just its just your mind playing tricks on you."

She nodded her head, but she knew her mind wasn't playing tricks on her, she knew what she saw. Chase stood at her door. "You ok now?" he asked.

"I don't know. I'm just a little shaken up."

"Just get some rest. You shouldn't be out that late anyways." He smiled at her. She couldn't help but smile back.

"Thanks." He nodded his head before she shut the door. She slide down and put her head in her hands and began to sob. She looked around the room, it was empty. Of all nights Michelle had to pick that one to leave her alone. She began processing through her mind what she just saw. Suddenly a loud knock came on her door. She jumped and moved away from the door still on the floor. She brought her knees to her chest. They knocked again, but still she wouldn't move. Then her cell phone began to ring which caused her to jump again. She looked back and forth from the door to her cell phone. She was scared to death which caused her not to move. The knocking stopped, and soon her cell stopped ringing. She sat there for a moment making sure everything was ok. She wiped her face with her hand from the tears that escaped and took in a deep breath, before lifting herself off the ground. A loud knock came again on her door, which caused her to yelp. She quickly put her hand to her mouth hoping they didn't hear her. She watched as the lock on her door began to turn. She could feel her heart begin to pound. She backed up until she ran into the wall. The door opened, and she found herself not being able to move.

"Kegan, let me explain!" Caleb began. Kegan looked at him like she was in shock. She felt her body began to tremble.

"Please leave." She begged in a whisper.

"Let me tell you what you saw."

"Please…" she could feel her legs about to give out on her. Caleb slowly began making his way towards her, she tried backing up, but there was nowhere to go. "Stop." Caleb stopped in his tracks.

"Please don't scream." He begged. "I need you to know something."

"Please leave me alone." She whispered as tears flowed freely down her cheeks. She saw Reid, Tyler, and Pogue come into her room. "You cant be in here."

"Keg, I know that you are scared, but you have nothing to be scared of ok. Just let me explain to you what you saw on at the cliff."

"I don't want to know." She found herself not being able to speak above a whisper. She was trembling more than before, suddenly she found herself falling to the ground freely. She felt someone's arms catch her, but she closed her eyes. She had passed out from being scared, Caleb carried her to her bed and tucked her in. The boys knew they had a lot of explaining to do the next day, if she would even talk to them. They had really scared her. Caleb never wanted her to find out this way, he never wanted her to know period because witchcraft always freaked his sister out. Ever since they were little, she hated the story of the Salem witch trial. The boys slowly walked out of her room and prepared for the day to come ahead.
