Sarah lay awake in her bed staring at the ceiling and contemplating the current mess she was in. She couldn't sleep and she stared enviously at Kate who was lying on her side resting peacefully.

"He's coming for the both of us—we have to put our plan into action now!"

The blonde teenager shook her head at the thought of what Maya had said earlier. Ever since Nicky's, Sarah couldn't stop thinking about how quickly her dark past was catching up with her. Chiodo was looking for her. He and his lackeys had come all the way from Boston to kill her and to make matters worse he was blatantly flaunting his kills to the Covenant. He was planning something big.

Sarah sat up and looked at the digital clock on her nightstand. The red numbers pierced the darkness providing the only light in the room.

"2:45 A.M," Sarah whispered to herself and lunged out of her bed towards her phone and dialed a familiar number.

"It's about time you called," a voice said silkily from the other end.

"I couldn't sleep…I can't stop thinking about what you said," Sarah whispered into the phone.

"I would have told you more but your boyfriend snatched you away."

"Look, I'm really sorry about that. I don't know what's gotten into Caleb he's usually not like this."

"Wizard's intuition?" the voice smirked on the other line.

"I don't think so. I doubt he's figured anything out," Sarah sighed.

"Are you sure about that?"

"He's never mentioned anything to me."

"That's something the both of you have in common."

"Why do you have to keep bringing that up?" Sarah seethed into the phone.

"Just because you've never been in love before--"

"So you love him?" Maya shrieked.

"Yes Maya, I do!"

"Oh God, Sarah it was never supposed to go this far!" Maya groaned on the other end.

"Well, it did! And I don't wanna hurt him!"

"Then why did you even bother calling me at all?" her friend snapped.

"I need to talk to you face to face," Sarah whispered as she glanced over at her roommate. Fortunately, her conversation hadn't disturbed Kate that girl could sleep through just about anything.

"Things are getting out of hand," Sarah sighed.

"Trust me, they aren't gonna get any better. I'll be there in ten minutes," Maya said quickly then hung up.


The normal quiet that enshrouded the Danvers' mansion was interrupted by a series of curses coming from the second floor.

"Damn it!" Reid growled as he threw the controller of Caleb's xbox 360 onto the floor.

"I know how you feel, dude. I can't beat this level either," Tyler said trying to console his friend who had been constantly getting killed at Halo 3.

"Whatever," Reid grumbled from the spot on the floor where he sat. Kicking the nearby controller he laid back on the carpet and put his hands over his face.

"Don't tell me you're that mad about it! You lose this one all the time!" Pogue chuckled, making fun of how much of a sore loser Reid could be.

"Do you ever shut up?" Reid snapped whipping his head around.

"What the hell is your problem, man?" Pogue retaliated.

"I'll tell you what it is, he's mad that Maya ran out on'em," Caleb sighed running his hand through his hair.

"Bullshit!"

"Oh please, Reid! You've been pissed ever since we got back from the bar tonight," Caleb argued. "I don't know why you're even that upset over her, she's not worth it."

"Well, I know why you don't like her--she's taking away all of your precious time with Sarah," Reid sneered.

"It's not like that, it's just---you see the way Sarah reacts when she comes around. She freezes up like she's scared to death," Caleb said. He was standing by the window watching the wind blow through the branches of the oak trees making them dance in the silver moonlight.

"I've noticed it, too," Pogue chimed in.

"I keep getting this bad vibe about her—I don't know what it is but I just don't trust her," Caleb said now focusing his gaze on his friends.

"So just because you don't like her means that I can't like her, too?" Reid sneered.

"I just don't think you should get too close to her, Reid. None of us should," Caleb glowered.

"Yeah, right," Reid snorted and propped himself up on his elbows.

A silence descended upon the room as the four boys became lost in their own thoughts.

"Let's order some pizza!" Tyler offered desperately trying to break the tension between Caleb and Reid.

"Yeah man, I'm starving," Pogue said patting his stomach.

"No one delivers at two o'clock in the morning, geniuses," Reid huffed.

"Then let's do Digiorno!" Tyler laughed.

"You serious?" Caleb asked in amusement.

"Dude I never joke about food," Tyler said with seriousness in his eyes. "I'm hungry."

"Okay, how are we gonna get it? The market is closed," Caleb questioned hoping his friend's need for food wasn't going to involve him and the boys using their powers.

"The old fashioned way," Tyler smiled with a twinkle in his eye.

Caleb knew exactly what that meant. Guess not using their powers wasn't on the menu tonight.
