Caleb walked into the room with my mum. I rushed over and hugged her.

"The doctors told me how he is doing," I nodded.

"We all need to talk,"

I looked over to Caleb from my mothers arms.

"I went back to Sarahs' and he was there. He put a spell on Sarah so I'd listen. We fought he says he wants my power once I've ascended and if I don't give it to him he is going to kill you all,"

"No," I whimpered sounding pathetic even to my own ears.

My mother ushered me out of the room to go and get some hot chocolate.

We walked down the hall to the machine.

"I'm so glad you aren't hurt baby,"

"Yeah but Pouge,"

She put in money and pressed the hot chocolate button.

"He's a strong boy he'll pull through,"

"What about Chase? I'm worried mum,"

"It's ok the boys can handle it,"

She handed me my drink and got herself a coffee.

I froze. The boys? Wasn't I one of them too, wasn't I included?

"Come on let's get back in case he wakes up,"

I didn't walk.

"Araynia?"

"You said the boys. So you think I'm incapable of fighting?"

She sighed. "No darling it's just fighting is a masculine thing to do. You're fragile and a girl. I wouldn't want you getting hurt,"

"So you just don't think I can handle myself," I shook my head and walked passed her to the others. Caleb was in there by himself. He came out.

"How is he?"

"Pretty bad,"

"Where's Sarah?"

"Waiting room,"

"I'll have to go say hello later,"

There was a pause. Mum had disappeared she was probably going home to talk to the others.

"I say we all go after Chase, now,"

"Listen it may not be that easy. You stay with Pouge call me if anything changes,"

"Yeah sure," I took a sip from my drink and moved closer to the window.

"I'm going to go in," I walked over to the sliding door and entered with Tyler and Reid following close behind. I sat down next to the bed and grabbed Pouges hand.

"It'll be alright," I fell asleep.

I was being shaken awake. I looked up to see Reid he motioned to a nurse who'd come in.

"You wanted to be told when Kate Tunney woke?"

"Yes,"

"She's awake,"

"Thank you," I checked my phone for the time it was 2 o'clock in the morning.

"I think I'll go see how she is," I smiled at the other two and walked down to Kates room.

When I entered she looked over at me.

"Hey,"

"Hey," her voice was raspy.

"Are you feeling ok?"

"Yeah but do you think you could pour me a glass of water,"

"Sure," I picked up the jug and grabbed a glass filling it only half way up and handing it to her.

"Didn't Pouge come?" I looked at her and nearly cried again.

"No, he came." She was looking at me, urging me to continue.

"He was coming to see you; he took a corner too fast and slipped on the wet ground. He is in an induced coma until he either wakes or it is safe to wake him." She gasped in horror.

"It's all my fault,"

I shook my head.

"No, he shouldn't have been going so fast. Please don't feel guilty. Honestly he's fine,"

She nodded and yawned.

"I better let you get some rest I'll be back in the morning to check on you but then I have to go home and talk to my parents," she nodded.

"Bye,"

"Night,"

I went back to Pouges room the others were sitting in the chairs around his bed dozing off.

I nodded to Tyler who was more awake than Reid and he nodded back.

I sat down in my chair and started shivering. It was really cold in a hospital.

"Here," I looked over to Ty he took off his orange jacket and handed it to me.

"Thanks, come on," I moved over in the chair so that I was at the very edge and he sat down, pulling me back half on his lap and half on the remaining chair.

I snuggled into the crook of his neck and fell asleep.

A cough woke me up.

I moved and felt the squishy thing beneath me stir as well.

"Sorry," said Reid.

"It's ok," I heard Tys voice from beneath me a jumped up.

Though I had gotten up to quick and felt a little light headed.

"Caleb called he wants us to go back to his house, he has a plan for tonight,"

I nodded.

"What's the time?"

"About 9,"

"Ok," I smiled and looked over at Pouge. I ran my hand through his hair and he stirred.

"Pouge?"

"Where's Kate," I let out a sigh of relief.

"You're in the hospital bro, Kate woke up last night she's in the poisons ward but im sure if you get better quickly you can go and see her.

He smiled and tried to sit up.

"No you have to be slow and gentle," I pushed him back down.

"Relax please. You scared me to death and back last night,"

"Sorry,"

"Don't worry just get better,"

He nodded.

"We were just about to leave man. Caleb needs to talk to us,"

He nodded again.

"I'll tell Kate you're up,"

"Bye,"

"Bye,"

We left and I couldn't get the smile off of my face. I walked into Kates room.

"Morning," She said, she was sitting up with a tray of food on her lap.

"Morning. Pouges just woken up,"

She smiled.

"Really?"

"Yeah he said that if they let him he will come and see you,"

"Ok,"

"Well I have to get going so I'll see you later,"

"Bye Araynia, Reid, Tyler,"

We got out of the hospital and I shielded my eyes against the sun.

"Bright,"

"Come on lets get to Calebs house,"

I got into the back of the hummer and Ty drove us.

When we got to the house Sarah met us outside.

"Hey how is he?"

"They are both great. Kate woke up last night and Pouge this morning,"

"That's wonderful,"

She smiled at the others.

"Caleb wants to talk to you guys inside. I need to talk to Araynia,"

I gave the others a strange look and then walked away with her.

"I know about the covenant,"

My head jolted up to look at her.

"Caleb told me this morning. I met his father last night,"

"Oh,"

"I'm alright with it though,"

"Ok so what is he talking with them about?"

"The plan for tonight,"

"And why can't I know,"

"You can just not their part. I brought you dress over from the dorms I hope you don't mind,"

"You knew which one it was?"

"Well no Carlee got it for me,"

"How is she?"

"She is fine, says that she hopes they get better. She'll be at the fest tonight,"

I nodded.

"Well then I will see her then I suppose,"

"Yeah."

"So what is this plan?"

"Caleb intends to go after Chase by himself and don't start yelling about how suicidal that is because I've already done that," I closed my mouth. "He needs you guys to stay in plain sight at the fest. He directly threatened me and you first so Reid and Tyler are going to be acting as our body guards."

I nodded.

"Come on let's go inside and get something to eat,"

"Yeah,"

We headed back to the house and went inside.

"Hello Araynia how are you dear?"

"I'm good, just a little tired. I was worrying for most of the night. How about yourself Evelyn?"

"I'm worried too dear. Go on into the kitchen and get yourself something to eat,"

"Caleb and the others will be done soon,"

"Thank you,"

I entered the kitchen and grabbed the handle of the fridge.

"Have you eaten?"

"No,"

"Bacon and eggs sound good?" I grabbed out the big packet of bacon and the carton of eggs.

"Yeah,"

"I'll make a lot because I know Reid and Ty haven't eaten yet,"

"Neither has Caleb,"

"You wanna help?"

"Yeah sure,"

"Ok you fry the bacon up on that one," I pulled a frying pan out from a cupboard and handed it to her with the bacon.

"I'll cook the eggs over here,"

"How many slices of bacon?"

"Use the whole lot,"

"The lot?"

"Well yeah there is only about fifteen pieces in there and there are five of us. That's three each,"

"Oh right,"

I pulled a small pot out from the cupboard and cracked ten eggs in it. I put the carton of eggs back and grabbed milk, cheese and canola spread. I added a cup of milk and a handful of the shredded cheese and then a table spoon of the spread. I turned the flame on and grabbed a whisk from the utensils shelf.

I whisked at the eggs until they solidified to creamy texture.

I pulled the pot away from the top and turned of the heat.

"Shit I forgot to get out the plates,"

Sarah looked at me she was still frying the bacon and she only had one plate that was piled high with it. I did the only thing I could do I used.

Five plates whizzed out of the cupboard and onto the bench.

"Woah!"

"Yeah well don't mention it or they will fry my arse like that bacon," She laughed.

"I won't that's a promise,"

I scooped a fair lump of egg onto each plate and then put the pot in the sink filling it with water.

Sarah brought over the bacon plate and we placed three slices on each plate. I took three of the plates over to the table and Sarah brought over the other two. The boys came in just as I went to get forks.

"Here you go," I handed out the forks and sat down next to Caleb and Reid.

"This is good," Caleb said to Sarah.

"Thanks, but the eggs were all Araynia,"

"Yeah well you can hardly tell," Said Ty sarcastically.

"She is the only one I know who makes them like this. They are Delicious,"

He stuffed his mouth full and I laughed.

Then everything became awkward again.

"Caleb I just want you to know what you are planning on doing is suicidal," I smiled at him and then took another bite from my bacon.

"Good to know," he replied.

After breakfast I went up to the spare bedroom that Sarah had been given to sleep in.

"You don't mind me going for a shower in your unsuite do you? It's just in the open bathroom I always get worried that one of them will walk in."

"Nah go ahead,"

"Thanks," I grabbed a towel from the cupboard and walked into the bathroom.

I took my clothes off and turned on the taps.

I stepped under and the hot water comforted my skin. I grabbed some of the shampoo that was sitting on the floor and washed my hair. Fifteen minutes later I stepped out and wrapped the towel around my body and dried off. Once dry and I put on my bra and underwear

"You can go now," I said to Sarah who was texting on her phone. "Who are you texting?"

"Carlee,"

"Ah ok, well as I said showers free,"

"Thanks," She went into the bathroom to have her shower. I looked through the drawers in the room until I found a button up shirt. I put that on and some loose fitting trackies. I brushed out my hair and grabbed a mousse from the vanity desk. I applied it in my hair so that it would stay wavy. I then went to work on my make-up. Sarah had gotten out of the shower at stood in her underwear at the vanity with me.

"Hey those are cute," I said.

"Yeah I like them,"

"You have anything to wear to the fall fest?"

"Oh Evelyn is lending me a dress to wear,"

"Brilliant, she is really nice once you get to know her."

"Seems so,"

I put on my eyeliner and added a blue silver shadow to my lids and silver glitter as well.

I applied foundation to a few rough patches and a faint very light blush to my cheeks. I added a rose gloss to my lips and then looked over to the clock. It was only three and we didn't have to leave until five. I played with my hair for a bit but ended up leaving it out. Instead I helped Sarah with her hair and make-up. She wanted to go all natural but I insisted on a few natural looking colors. She showed me her dress and my jaw dropped it was gorgeous.

"Woah I can't believe she is lending you that,"

"I know it made me speechless," There was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me dear,"

"Oh come in,"

Evelyn walked into the room.

"The boys are getting into their tuxes now and I thought you might like some help with your dresses,"

"Thank you,"

Sarah passed me the bag that held my dress and I unzipped it. I held the dress up.

"That is beautiful,"

"Thanks,"

The dress was a halter neck the strap was made out of Zarconi diamonds that were also stitched in a string around the dress just under the boobs and it was there that the back of the dress started. The top was basically a bra. Two cups that had a string of jewels follow their line down and around. There was a small diamond cut out that left the bottom of my cleavage shown. It was a baby blue color in silk and followed my hour glass figure perfectly before falling loosely off my hips. The dress fell to just below the floor. The two helped me step into it. I didn't want to stuff up my hair and zip it up.

I put on my silver heels that tied up around my ankle. I wore a silver pentagram necklace around my neck and let my hair flow over my shoulders.

"You look lovely,"

"Yeah well we have to get you ready now," I said looking over at her. I helped her step into her dress and pulled it up. Hers hand two thick short sleeves that spread out maybe an inch or two over her shoulder it fell down showing as mine did cleavage and then fell straight to the floor and was in a beautiful silver white.

"You are ready," I smiled at Calebs mother.

"Thank you for helping us," Said Sarah.

"Yeah thanks,"

"I'll go down into the living room and see if they are down there,"

"Ok,"

I looked over at Sarah she was studying herself in the mirror.

"You need to calm down,"

"I know but I'm nervous,"

"Nervous?"

"Yeah this will be the first time Caleb sees me like this,"

"Well you look beautiful. I'm sure he'll love you. This is the first time they will see my looking so elegant and no one is around to appreciate it," my smiled dropped.

"Hey," she grabbed my chin. "You look stunning if Dante doesn't regret leaving you the moment he sees you I am a monkey," I laughed "You will most definitely be getting looks tonight,"

"So will you," We laughed together.

"So who is being your date?"

"Well considering Reid wants you cause Caleb won't be there I think I'll take him,"

"Why?"

"To piss him off of course,"

She laughed.

I heard raised voices from down stairs.

"I think they are down there. Shall we reveal our beauty," I held out my arm for her and she wound her arm through it.

"We shall," we walked over to the door and opened it. I could feel Sarahs nerves as we took each step down the hall and then we reached the top of the stairs. Caleb was talking quietly with Reid and Tyler and so we both starting walking down the stairs.

They looked up at us. Caleb was smiling at her just as I knew he would.

"Wow," I let go of her arm and she walked over to him taking both his hands.

I moved off to the side and watched.

I envied her at that moment. She looked amazing and he loved her she had everything. I looked down at the floor and then back up with a sigh.

"You look beautiful my dears," Said Evelyn.

"Hey you look radiant," I turned my head to look at Ty.

"Thanks, you clean up pretty well yourself,"

I looked over to Reid and nearly laughed at his open mouthed expression.

"You look amazing," he walked over and circled me.

"Why thank you Mr. Garwin," He smiled at me and held out his arm.

I turned and looked at Tyler.

"Oh tough choice,"

"Well then m'lady we shall both be your escort tonight," I laughed at Reid and took his arm before taking Tylers.

"Ready?" asked Caleb I looked at him and Sarah and nodded.

They left the room first and then we followed Reid and Tyler needed to grab their phones. When we got outside I moved over to the hummer and watched the two lovers saying goodbye.

As they went in for their goodbye kiss I turned my head away a grim smile on my lips.

"Hey we could be doing that do," said Reid from beside me.

"Nah it isn't the same as when you really love some one like they love each other," I sighed "I wonder if I'll get a happy ending,"

Tyler looked at me. "Of course you will but for now you're here to have some fun,"

I swallowed a sigh and nodded. "Yeah. Come on,"

Tyler got into the drivers seat and Reid opened the door for me.

"Thanks," He got into the front and I sat in the back. Caleb opened the door for Sarah and she got in.

"Be careful. I'll call you later. You two better take good care of our girls,"

"We will,"

Sarahs' hand clenched up on her knee and I grabbed her hand.

"He promised darling. Caleb never breaks promises,"

We got to the school and parked. The four of us headed across the grass me and Sarah in the middle towards the hall. We stood around the entrance for a while in the light. Reid got a call and walked a little further.

"That'll be Caleb. He'll want to talk to you," she smiled.

"You don't mind if I go and say hi to Carlee do you?" I asked Tyler.

"No go ahead," I spotted Carlee in her blue dress walking across the grounds and ran over to say hi.

"Hey,"

"Hey Ray. I went and saw Kate at the hospital she is looking a little better,"

"When?"

"This morning,"

"You probably just missed us, we left about 9,"

"Oh ok," We were walking back towards the hall.

"Sarah looks gorgeous,"

"Doesn't she? You should've seen the way Caleb looked at her earlier,"

"Speaking of Caleb where is he?"

"Uh, he is coming a bit later,"

I turned away to look up at the moon and then came back.

"Ok. Hey Tyler, Reid,"

"Hey where'd Sarah go?"

"I don't know she was right here," Reid put the phone to his ear again.

"Caleb, Caleb what's going on!"

He pulled the phone away from his ear and I heard the sound of shattering glass.

"Something's happened,"

I could feel my breathing getting faster.

"Let's just see if we can find Sarah," said Carlee.

She went off into the hall.

Reid separated off as well leaving me and Tyler.

"We won't find her here," I said quietly.

Tyler looked at me and nodded.

"You find her," he asked Reid when he came back.

"No,"

"What do we do?"

"We attend the fall fest. Caleb said we had to stay here and I intend to listen to him. Plus if Chase has Sarah then if we go we'll just get into more trouble,"

Tyler grunted. "She's right,"

Reid looked down at his watch. "Twelve minutes past elven,"

"Happy birthday Caleb," Tyler and I said in unison.

We were still standing outside the hall when I felt the first surge of power.

I looked over at Tyler and Reid and by their eyes they had felt it too.

It began to rain and so I pulled them into the hall filled with the dancing couples.

I tried to distract myself looking longingly out into the dance floor.

Dante was dancing with Rachelle who was wearing a pink dress that had a slit up the side till about her hips. He looked over at me and I swallowed.

The song finished playing and he walked over.

"You look stunning," he said when he reached me.

I looked at him and then averted my eyes.

"Araynia, I realize how stupid I was that night, please. Will you take me back?"

I didn't know what to say, I didn't want to say no because I still loved him but if I said yes I would be hurt all over again, all the pros and cons of the situation ran through my head over and over again I kept wishing I didn't have to make the choice.

"Sorry Dante but she's already got a date," Tylers voice brought me back and he slipped his arm around my waist.

"Simms? You are dating him?"

I looked over at Dante.

"At least he treats me with respect. I don't give pigs' second chances. Sorry," I said simply and let Ty lead me away.

We walked to the drinks table.

"Thanks,"

"No problem," He handed me some punch. "You were looking really confused and I know how you are. If I hadn't have come along you probably would've said yes,"

I nodded and took a sip. "I was going to,"

"Well then it's a good thing I stopped you. Let's go and dance,"

I looked at him.

"Really?"

"Well Reid is out there with Carlee so why not?"

"Yeah why not?"

Tyler took my hand and led me to the floor. He put one hand on my waist and kept my hand in his. I put my hand on his shoulder. He pulled me in close. We were stepping in time to the music, moving together in big circles. Every so often he would spin me out or just twirl me. He picked me up once or twice. I smiled and laughed as the songs became faster and faster.

I had two more glasses of punch when songs I didn't like came on. I danced with Reid and then back to Tyler. After a couple of fast songs in a row I felt another surge of power and stopped. Reality had hit me.

"I need some fresh air,"

I walked outside and Tyler walked out with me.

"What are we doing? Caleb, Sarah maybe at the mercy of Chase and Kate and Pouge are still in hospital this is no time to be having fun,"

"Calm down Ray. You deserve a bit of fun. We all do,"

"But it feels so wrong,"

"OK just give me one more dance then?"

He put his hand out again.

"Out here?"

"Yeah no one can see us out here so you won't feel as bad and we can still hear the music,"

"Ok,"

He grabbed my hand again but this time pulled me in and placed both his hands around my waist. My head was now lent against his shoulders and my arms around his neck.

"You feel any better?"

"Yeah a little,"

"Good," he tilted my chin up and I looked into his eyes.

"You do look a goddess tonight honestly,"

"Ty," I said but was cut off as he brought his lips down onto mine. Everything was getting a little dizzy. He was running his tongue along my lips again and out of habit I opened my mouth. My eyes were closed and my grip around his neck slackened but he still had a firm grip of my waist as one of his hands trailed up to my cheek.

He broke the kiss when his phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

I looked at him, did that kiss mean he felt something for me. I didn't know what to think sure I had always found him attractive and felt that part of me somewhat liked him but did I want to date him?

I had never thought about it.

"I'm just glad you guys are alright I'll get Ray and Reid and we'll crash at yours tonight. See you tomorrow morning,"

"That was Caleb?"

"Yeah, he left Chase in Putnam Barn while it was on fire, he's not sure if he survived. They are both fine,"

"Good. Go and get Reid,"

I watched as Ty walked away and my phone started ringing.

"Ms. Parry,"

"Yes,"

"This is Nurse Trish from the Gloucester emergency ward,"

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, I've called you because I wanted to tell you that your brother is up and walking and Ms. Tunney has completely healed. It's a right miracle if you ask me,"

"Thank you I'll see you tomorrow morning if you don't mind,"

"Not at all, enjoy your evening,"

Reid and Tyler walked up just as I hung up the phone.

"Who was that?"

"That was the Gloucester Emergency ward. Both Kate and Pouge are fully healed. We can go and pick them up tomorrow," I smiled and then yawned.

"I told Reid about Chase,"

I nodded and we started heading for the car.

"Oi Simms,"

I turned around. Dante was standing a couple of feet behind us.

"Dante just leave me alone,"

"No. I know how much you are worth and I want to make up for everything I've done,"

"You can make up for it by leaving," Said Reid.

"No,"

"Yes Dante, I've moved on and so have you. You have a new whore on your dick and I have a good man at my side,"

"Simms can never be even half the boyfriend I was,"

"No he couldn't be half because he more than double the boyfriend you were. Goodnight Dante," I turned around and felt Tyler slip his arm around my waist again.

"I will get you back Ray," I waved him off and kept walking.

"So when did you two start going out?" Reid asked eyeing us.

"Oh we aren't Ty just said we were so that I wouldn't have to answer Dantes' desperate plea to take him back,"

"Right," I watched as Ty and him exchanged looks and then keep walking.

"What was that about?"

"What was what about?"

"That pause and the whole staring shit,"

"I honestly don't know what you are talking about babe," Tyler pulled me in closer and kissed my head.

"Since when have you started calling me babe?"

"Would you prefer me to go back to Baby Girl?"

"No, but you just side-stepped my question,"

Reid yelled from the other side of the hummer.

"You going to get in?"

Tyler opened the door for me.

"In you get,"

He started up the engine and Dr Hooks' song 'When you're in love with a beautiful women' came on.

We headed back to Calebs house. I don't remember much because I fell asleep in the back seat.
