Chapter 7
We sat there staring at each other.
"How do you know Chase?" Caleb's question was a whisper.
"I don't. That's what I'm asking you."
"Why?"
"For one thing, he's the one who almost just killed me. And for some reason he knew who I was. Oh and he said to tell you hi and better luck next time. So I assume you know who he is. Now. I want to know who the hell he is?"
"First lets get you inside. There's a lot for us to tell you." He helped me up and we went inside. I quickly went up stairs and put on some dry clothes. I walked back down stairs and into the living room. I stood in the doorway with my arms crossed. Everyone was staring at me.
"Well, who's going to tell me who that was that just tried to kill me?" I said looking at each of the guys. My brother was the one to speak.
"Cass, Chase is from the fifth blood line. He-" I cut him off.
"What! That cant be. The fifth line was killed off in Salem. During the witch trials."
"No." Caleb said. "We all thought it was, but it wasn't. He's the bastard son of Agnus Pope and John Putman. He came as and incubus in her dreams."
I sat down trying to process the information that was being gave to me.
"When Caleb ascended two months ago he fought with Chase. He put Kate and me in the hospital. Chase was trying to get Caleb to will him his power. We all thought he was dead, but no body was found." Pogue finished explaining.
The room was quite for a good five minutes.
"So what does he want now?" I asked looking at my brother. I noticed Caleb running his hands down his face in frustration out of the corner of my eye.
"Power." Caleb said softly.
"Who's?" Caleb and I locked eyes. Pogue and I would be ascending in a few weeks. Chase didn't know about Bailey's healing power, or being able to enter peoples dreams. So he had to be after Pogue or me. Or both.
"Apparently yours." Caleb said not taking his eyes off me.
"How do we kill him?"
"We don't know. He's had time to recover, and he's bound to have more power."
"Where's the book?"
"We've looked thru the book of damnation. There's nothing helpful in it." said Reid.
"That's not the book I want and Caleb knows it." This got everyone's attention.
"No." Caleb said glaring at me. When we were little Caleb's dad had told Alexis, Caleb's sister, and me about a book. He said that the women from the covenant whom posses the power had like their own covenant. Usually there are three born every fifty years. Caleb's dad had the book. He had showed it to us when we were younger. It was our only chance of getting rid Chase.
"It's our only chance Caleb. Were also going to have to call your sister."
"She wont come. She left the covenant. She want's nothing to do with it."
"She will if I ask and tell her your life's in danger."
"Fine call her. I'm still not giving you the book."
"You do know there are other means for me getting the book. Your father taught Alexis and me the spell to retrieve it. So you can either give it to me, or I will get it myself."
"You wouldn't?" Caleb asked standing up.
"It's the only way."
"Fine do it your way." He stormed out of the room. Caleb had seen the book. The spells that it contained were very powerful. Sometimes when a witch would us them they would use too much of their power and they die. Caleb knew this and is why he doesn't want to use the book.
I fell back into the couch and let out a sigh.
"What book are you talking about Cassie?" Tyler asked.
"The Charmed book. It has vanquishing spells in it. The only thing is you have to be really powerful and in complete control of your power to use them. Otherwise things could end really bad. That's why Caleb's so worried."
"Do you really think Lex will come?" Reid asked.
"I don't know but I hope she will."
I got up and left everyone in the living room. I'm sure they would all be drifting off up stairs to go to bed soon. I walked thru the kitchen and out the back doors. It was around two a.m. I should be going to bed like everyone else, but I couldn't sleep. I walked over to the pool and stuck my feet in.
My mind was racing a mile a minute. Tomorrow I would call Alexis. Hopefully she would come. Then we could work something out to get rid of Chase. Monday Bailey and I start school at Spenser with the rest of the group.
