Hi! I know it's been too long sorry, I've been busy. So I hope you like this chapter, please review!(:
"Shouldn't we check if Erin hasn't killed Caleb yet?"
Zoe's question broke the silence around them. Caleb and Erin had been arguing for half an hour about who had the reason or not, Caleb said as he was the older of the two groups the leadership automatically fell on his shoulders; while Erin was using her 'this is my problem, only my problem' card. They had tried to reason with them and they only got kicked out of the living room.
"She wouldn't." Tyler said. "Right?"
"You see this scar?" Naomi said showing them an almost invisible but large mark on her wrist. "I got it for using her hair dryer without permission."
"You won't do this Caleb! I won't let any of you get involved!" They heard the blonde shout.
"He is probably fine." Andrea said passing the pages of a magazine.
"How can you be so sure?" Pogue inquired.
"I know Erin, she can be bitchy but she wouldn't kill anyone, especially Caleb. Naomi may be but she would probably be doing all of us a favor."
"Thanks, Ade." Naomi said rolling her eyes.
"You welcome."
"I'll do as I like, Erin! You can't stop me from trying to protect the person I love." After this statement the room fell silent, dead silent. All of them looked at each other in surprise and quickly gathered at the door with pressed against the hard wood, waiting for one of the two parts to respond after the sudden outburst of feelings
"They are not saying anything!" Reid complained but was shushed by the rest.
Erin stood there, with a look of mixed emotions on her face so Caleb decided to proceed, their heated argument seemed to be finally over so he stepped closer sure she wouldn't fry his head. "I'll do anything to protect you, even if it means giving up my own life."
"Caleb, please don't say that."
"It's true I love you and I won't let anyone hurt you." Without thinking it twice Erin threw herself at Caleb, hugging him close. Breathing his scent she let a single tear escape her eyes.
"That's why I don't want you to this, because I don't know what could happen…"
"Don't. Nothing will happen that we can't handle together. I'm here for you, all of us. You are not alone; you never have been and won't be alone as long as I live, got it?" Erin pulled away a little just to look into his eyes and saw the determination in them and she knew he would never leave her.
"So we are taking things slow, uh?" They both laughed and Caleb hugged her tighter, kissing the top of her head.
"Sorry to interrupt this so oh romantic moment but we're still here." Reid's complain brought them back to reality, turning their heads they saw their friends' heads popping out from behind the door.
"Reid!" Zoe scolded him for blowing their cover.
"So what's the plan?" Tyler asked his cheeks flushed red trying to pretend their current position wasn't happening.
"Were you spying on us?"
'What?' 'We would never do that' 'I can't believe you are saying that' their pathetic excuses were heard, in an attempt not to get fried by the fury of their leaders.
"So what's the verdict?" Pogue asked.
"Veronica could be anywhere right now. So we should focus on our current problem: Sarah" Erin explained.
"I think if we figure her out, we could get our way to Veronica." Andrea said. "Caleb, you kind of knew her the best, you noticed something strange about her?"
"No, she always seemed so normal."
"There's got to be something. Ok, what do we know about her?" Erin looked around the group for an answer.
"She is a dyed blonde." Zoe joked.
"Goes beyond the point, anyone else?" Ade said
"I saw her going into the old school building, the one that was burnt in the 20's." Naomi said. "She looked nervous, as if she was hiding something."
"Why didn't you say that from the start?" Erin scolded her.
"Because I wasn't going to help you in the "Let's get rid of Sarah" plan." Naomi said. "Besides I thought she was a loser, well she is a loser."
"We should start there." Tyler interrupted.
"Do we have to?" Zoe said trembling; she was the one who was always easily scared in the group so the idea of an old burnt building at night wasn't appealing to her in the least.
"Not all of us, I guess you could stay outside." Reid pushed her buttons with a smirk.
"On my own!"
"Zoe!"
"Ok, ok!"
The air was cold and smelled like ashes all around, she was shaking and expecting the worst as she stepped into the center of the room. There was nothing, no one. Anyone would have let out a breath of relief and ran out of there as fast as their feet could carry them. But she couldn't she owned it to her, for what she did.
"I can't believe you could be so stupid!"
Tears threaten to fell as the cold voice shouted those words.
"Not even two months and she is got him wrapped around her little finger again, I thought you were better than that!" The voice now was next to her ear. "You failed, maybe I should get rid of you once and for all."
"No, please I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to…I'll do anything!"
"You'll do anything? You want to be young so bad." Her hands started wrinkling and yellowing, she let out a painful sob.
"Please, please don't do this!"
"Sarah, I'll do as I like remember? I saved you from that horrible state you found yourself but I can also kill you. So begging won't solve your problems!" A wave of energy pushed her against a wall.
"Don't be so rough, she is doing her best." Another voice joined mockingly. "And we can't deny she was a good servant." At this point Sarah was hiding her face in her knees crying and shaking uncontrollably. Her body and face aging more and more by the second
"But she exposed us!"
"She didn't, Erin's jealousy did. She wasn't going to sit arms crossed seeing her precious Caleb in the arms of another woman and you know it!"
"Why can't we just end them? Like I said your plan failed. Now I have them where I want them. Let me…"
"You don't understand, do you? I need them to stop this curse!" The second voice shouted. "When I get what I want from them, then you can destroy them. But not now! And I would like you to remember something, Veronica: I made you what you are! Erin and the others could finish you in a blink if it wasn't for me. I gave you all the power that you have now."
The redhead snorted and turned to him. "I could say the same, if I hadn't rescued you from Caleb, you would be dead Chase."
"We have similar interests, Veronica, but mine go beyond your stupid need of revenge for something that happened over three hundred years ago, but as long as you are with me you'll get everything you want. And when I get them to put an end to the curse we'll be unstoppable."
A wicked smile appeared on the red-head's face. Her eyes directed to Sarah and with a flick of her wrist; the old weak lady was replaced by the beautiful eighteen-year-old. "Be a distraction and you better not fail this, or you'll be 75 years old again, Grandma."
