The Ancient Power

Chapter Eight: Trust

Tyler's Point of View:

After Leah went up to my room, my dad pulled me aside. My mother poured the noodles onto a plate then, joined my father and me. Her face was serious and was half hidden by her light brown hair. My father patted my back. What do they want to tell me? I really wanted to go up to my room for once. My mother caressed my cheek with a loving smile on her face.

"Our baby boy is growing up, Glenn." She said softly.

His gaze shifted to my father's then, she went back to preparing dinner. She was biting her lip while she set the green plates on the long dining room table. Her eyes didn't meet mine while she placed them. I walked behind her and attempted to help. "Mom, let me help you."

She moved her arm away from me and continued setting the table. "I got it, Tyler." She said, quite harshly. I grabbed her hand and made her look into my eyes. She looked terribly upset. Tears escaped her blue eyes and she hugged me. Her warmth somehow made me sad. "Mother, what's wrong?"

She had her warm hand on the sides of my face. "I might lose you soon."

I held her hand gently in mine. "You will never lose me and you know that."

"Tyler, I know how much you love Leah. You are going to propose to her sooner or later."

I laughed at her. I wonder how she knew that. I was planning on proposing to her after graduation. If my mother knows this, she will be reluctant to let me go. I have always been her precious baby boy.

"But, Mom, you could be a grandmother and could babysit the kids." I told her, trying to move her over.

She smiled at me and began to laugh. "Already thinking ahead, Tyler?"

I nodded and my father walked over to us. "I'm sure he is. Well, go up there. Your girlfriend is waiting for you."

I began to run off before my mother stopped me. "I bet you can't get used to saying that." She told my father. I turned around to her and she smiled at me innocently. "You win that bet." My dad whispered back. I can't believe my parents just that. They are so cruel to me. When I opened my door I saw Leah in her under clothes. My face felt bright red. I checked the mirror and shook my head. Yep, my face was definitely red. Leah laughed at me then faced me. I tried my best to stay a good distance from her. Her body was well-defined. Her skin was so much similar to Caleb's, but hers was lighter. Her hips were curvy and I would love to wrap my arms around her. She snapped her fingers at me.

"Hey, Tyler!" she shouted.

I stopped gawking at her and stared into her beautiful hazel eyes. "Yeah?"

She twirled around in her own little circle. She glared at me then, her lips twitched a little. "What do you think?"

I walked closer to her. "Well, my parents are still up."

She scoffed at me then, pulled at my shirt. I'm going to need some more shirts pronto. "No, idiot. The farthest you get with me right now is second-base. You hear me?"

She crushed her lips to mine and wrapped her arms around my neck. My arms snaked around her waist and I held her tight to me. She moaned in pleasure as I kissed her harder. After a few more minutes of kissing, we stopped to take a breath. I reached for her hand and kissed it. I got further up her arm and when I met her neck I ceased kissing her. She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes. I slipped my finger under her choker and yanked it. It fell to the bed sheet and she automatically covered her wrist. I grabbed it and she tried to fight me off.

"No." she yelled.

"Let me see, Lee."

"I can't, Ty."

I began to try harder and we ended up rolling off my bed. She hit the floor and I was on top of her. My legs were on both sides of her perfect waist and my hands held her wrists. She closed her eyes and tried to make me let go. I kissed her cheek softly. Her lips parted and a tear escaped her eye.

"Listen, Leah. I love you more than my life and I want you to know that I trust you." I told her sincerely. More tears streamed down her beautiful face.

"Tyler, I love you, too. It's just that I--," she began before I pressed my lips to her precious pink ones. She was startled then, she looked away from my eyes. "Don't kiss me again, Tyler."

"Why not?" I asked, even though I was hurt from her words.

"Because I am hiding things that I can't tell you guys. I'm sorry."

"You can tell me can't you?"

"No!" he eyes flashed black the same time lightning struck. I went flying onto my bed and she took off running towards my window. She raised the sill and once the window was fully open she leaped out the window. I caught her before she could plummet to her death. She began to cry into my shoulder as I held her tight. "Tyler, Tyler, I'm sorry. I can't believe you caught me. Even though I Used on you."

I kissed her now cold rosy cheek, which was wet from the rain. "I told you I loved you."

She gasped then, closed her eyes. "That's right. I love you,too."

I carried her back to my bed and wrapped my covers around her shivering body. Her hair was soaking the blanket and was causing her to freeze. "I'll go get you something to warm you up." I said, getting up from my bed. She grabbed my shirt gently then, gripped it tighter. "Don't leave me, Ty. Please," she said, looking into my eyes deeply. "Remember when we were kids and used to warm me up?" I nodded then, sat aside of her. I wrapped my arms around her covered body and kissed her forehead. "I remember."

"Tyler, I want to tell you a story about a little girl."

"Okay, tell me."

She sighed onto my arm. "There was a thirteen year girl named Kit. She had beautiful brown hair and the prettiest hazel eyes. Kit had five brothers, who she loved dearly. Only one was her real brother, but the others treated her like she was their sister. One day, Kit went off alone and she found a box. Something in the back off her mind told her to leave it, but she didn't listen. After she opened it, she got a tattoo of a triquetra on her wrist. That wasn't only thing though; she got a Power greater than her brothers. The Power is capable of doing a lot of things, but she doesn't know that much about it. When her brothers found her, she was sleeping. Too bad they didn't know the sad truth about her."

After she finished her story, I knew she meant herself. I looked down at her and hugged her tighter. "Why you never told us, Kit?" I asked her.

She snuggled into my chest. "I couldn't tell you until I knew more about it."

"We could go look it up in the ancient library." I suggested.

"Really? That would be awesome. Just don't tell Caleb and the others yet."

"I promise."

She smiled one more time. "Thank you."

Her eyelids closed slowly and she fell into the darkness called sleep. I kissed her cheek one more time then, laid her head onto my pillow. She cuddled it with a smile on her face. My mother opened the door and was surprised to see her sleeping. "She's exhausted Mom."

She nodded. "I'll put it in the microwave."

'"Thanks, Mom."

She closed the door with one last smile on her face. I looked back to my sleeping beauty then, took off my shirt. I slid under the covers and wrapped my arms around her. She got closer to me and her cold body made me shiver involuntary. She was still so cold from the rain. I wish we could stay like this forever.

I finished this chapter for you guys and I hope you like it! I will start a new thing called Secrets of The Covenant in this story. They are mini stories within my story. I might post my first one on my next update. Don't forget to vote! Constructive criticism is welcomed, just no flames. More reviews make a happy Akasha! The happier I am, the more ideas I get! Totally Awesome right? Sneak Preview for Chapter Nine:

Leah, Sarah, and Kate flipped through the book together. Sarah froze when she spotted the same page she spotted a few weeks ago. Sarah pointed at the picture of a spider with a look of disgust on her face. "That's the spell."

Leah's eyes widened in fear. "Chase was this powerful?"

Kate and Sarah nodded solemnly. "Yes, he could have killed us right then and there." Kate said. "I can't believe the bastard put me in the hospital."

"At least he is dead and gone for good." Leah sad, relieved she wasn't here to face him. He probably would have used her to wipe out her brothers and reverse the aging process on the Sons or maybe just himself. Leah shut the book and after she looked up, something startled her. She screamed loudly and fell out her chair. Her whole body was trembling.

"Someone sent me a darkling." She said, shaking.

The book opened and the pages were flipping like crazy. When Kate and Sarah were able to read it, they gasped. "What?" Leah asked, nervously.

"Did you know there was a warlock that was powerful enough to kill us and the Sons. It says he can put someone in a coma or just kill them. He lives on Power and will stop at nothing to get it." Kate said, looking up to look at us.

Leah walked over to her and stared at the page. "What day does he get most of his power?"

Sarah flipped the page. "September 10."

"Right after Caleb's birthday." Leah whispered to herself.

I hope you liked this preview. Stay tuned for Chapter Nine! = )
