Chapter 9

Damien started pacing , walking back and forth through Mia's room, his hands laced above his head, pissed at himself for not preventing this from happening. Riley was sitting on Mia's desk, her head in her lap, trying to calm herself down. The two siblings said nothing to each other, both blaming themselves for this accident. "How did this happen?" Riley asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "She wasn't even in here for five minutes." Damien turned to his sister. "There's stuff going on that you don't know about Riles. Crazy stuff that you guys weren't suppose to find out about." Riley took a deep breath and looked at her brother. "Well, since my best friend is missing, I think I deserve to know what's going on."

Damien sat on the desk chair, close enough to keep his voice down, but far enough so they don't collide and invade each other's personal space. "Mom wanted to be the one to tell you, but your right. The situation is different and you need to know so you can protect yourself." He started, making Riley shiver. "This goes back centuries. I'm talking Salem witch trials. Witches and all that stuff." Riley looked at him like he was stupid. "I'm not the right person to explain this, I know, but it's true. Riles, you know I wouldn't lie to you about anything, let alone this." The look on Riley's face changed from distrust and disbelief, to pure and utter confusion. "What are you trying to say?" she asked, her voice below a whisper, already knowing the answer but needing to hear it to believe it. "Were descendants from a line of witches, Riley." Damien said, putting his arm around his sister protectively, as if she was about to break after hearing the news. Riley broke down into uncontrollable sobs. A rush of memories came flooding back into her head. It was things she remembered hearing from her grandmother when she and Mia were younger, but as she got older, she brushed them off as old fairy tales to soothe her imagination. But ever since coming here, to Ipswich, she had this feeling in her gut that life as she knew it was changing. That turned out to be an understatement.

Damien pulled Riley into his lap and rocked her back and forth as she cried, trying his hardest to soothe her and help her deal with the newly found out information. "I'm not gonna tell you much more about it. Mom and Nana wanted to be the ones to tell you and Mia about it." Riley looked up at her brother. "Mia?" she asked through sniffles. "What does she have to do with this? You said we're the descendants…" Riley was interrupted by a knock at the door. She got off her brother's lap so he could go and answer the door.

Damien slowly approached the door, not knowing what or who was behind it. He turned the doorknob and saw a blonde boy in a blazer and dark jeans, holding a bouquet of yellow roses in his hand. "Reid" Riley said acknowledging the boy. Before Reid had the chance to say anything, Damien had him pinned up against the wall, trying to choke him to death. "Where the hell is my sister, you asshole?!?" he screamed, pushing him farther into the wall and purposely making Reid's head hit the wall. "Where is she?"

Riley grabbed Damien and pulled him off Reid, trying to calm him down enough to explain why he attacked Reid. "Why the hell did you go after Reid?" Riley asked, ready for an explanation. "Not only did she have plans with Reid tonight, but he wouldn't just take her." Reid stood there confused. "Does someone wanna explain to me what the hell is going on??" Damien took a few steps forward, coming face to face with Reid. "Mia was kidnapped, you and your friends have powers, and one of you took her." Riley stepped in between the two guys, trying to put some space in between the two. "Okay.. Lower the testosterone levels a bit and think rationally." She said, trying to cool the room down. "Damien, they didn't do it. Especially Reid. He wouldn't be here if he did. They had a date remember?" Damien looked at Reid hard, thinking hard on what Riley just said. He sighed and stepped into the middle of the room. "Your right, Riles. I just overreacted." He turned around to face Reid. "I'm sorry for choking you. Mia's missing and I went Psycho." Reid's facial expression changed. "What happened? Who took her? When did this happen?" He asked, concern written all over his face. Riley let out a small smile, completely unnoticed by the two other boys. "I told you they didn't do it. They all care about her way too much."

Reid got a funny look on his face, coming to the realization that he knew about his power. "How did you know about the power?" He asked, exchanging looks between Damien and Riley. Damien was about to say something but Reid's phone started to ring. He put his finger up, and stepped out the room to take the call. "I still don't trust him Riles." Damien said in a low voice. "But I do believe that he didn't have anything to do with it" Riley walked over to her brother, putting her head on his shoulder. "I never said I trusted him either. And I sure as hell don't like him. He put Mia through hell last year, D" she said, her voice matching his. "But he loves her. It's in his eyes. That's what I go by." He nodded and looked down at his sister, wrapping his arms around her protectively. "We're gonna get her back, Riles. And nothing is gonna happen to you in the process. I promise you that." She nodded her head, closing her eyes to let everything sink in. 'This is gonna be bad.' She thought to herself, mentally preparing for what's ahead.

Reid came back in the room, putting his phone back in his pocket. "That was Caleb" he said, leaning against the wall. "He wants to meet at his family's old house to talk. I told him that I was bringing you two so we can pool all our information together, and probably get this sorted out a lot quicker" Riley nodded her head. "Come on, we can take my car." She said going across the hall to get her keys. She came back to see an awkward standoff between Reid and Damien. She snapped her fingers by Reid's head to get his attention. "You mind driving? I don't know where the barn is." He gave her a small smile and pulled her into a quick hug. "I knew you weren't as bitchy as you let on." She let out a sigh and looked at him. "This doesn't mean anything, Reid." She said as she started walking down the hallway. "I still hate you. I just don't wanna drive aimlessly around while Mia's out there somewhere when you know exactly where it is. Do you need proof that I still don't like you?" She asked when she got to the end of the hallway. She punched Reid in the stomach, making him double over in pain and making Damien laugh. "Dude, I saw that coming. She does that to me and my friends all the time. Usually though, she aims for the face."

The car ride was uncomfortably silent. None of them knew what to say to the other because they had no idea of what was going on in the others head. Riley was the one to break the silence. "I know this is awkward, but we need to talk. Being alone in our heads right now is not a good thing." Damien and Reid both shook their heads in agreement. "Cause I don't know about you two, but I have some nasty thoughts running around in my head that I'd rather not think of." Damien nodded and turned to Reid. "So you cheated on Mia?" Reid nodded slightly, flinching because he felt Riley smack him in the back of his head. "First things first, Oww, Riley. That really hurt." Riley gave him a little smirk and sat back in her seat. "Damien I was an ass then. I know I hurt her, but I'm trying to change for her. I've been celibate since she dumped me." Riley's eyes got wide at his revelation. 'With everything I heard, I never would've pegged him to do something like that.' She thought to herself. "Wow, Reid. I'm impressed. I never would've thought a manwhore like you would be able to not have sex for that long." Riley said, making Damien laugh. He turned to Reid while he was at a red light. "You hurt Mia again, and I will personally tear you limb from limb. Or whatever's left of you after Riles is done." Reid nodded and started driving.

"I don't intend to. Who are you anyway? I just realized that we haven't been properly introduced. I have an idea of who you are but not officially" Damien smiled and turned to Reid. "I'm Damien James. Riley and Mia's older brother." Riley's eyes got wide. "Both of us? Wait, you called her your sister back in her room. Is this what you were gonna say earlier?" He nodded. "That's why mom wanted to tell you. Mia's our sister, Riley. And Mathew is our father." Riley nodded her head in disbelief. "Oh they have some explaining to do." Reid laughed at their conversation. "That seriously explains a lot between you guys dynamic though, Riles." She nodded in agreement as he stopped and turned the car off. "Here we are." He said, getting out of the car and walking towards the place. Damien put his arms around Riley and followed Reid to the old, decrepit house.

Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler were in the basement, surrounded by candles and sitting on columns with their last names on them. They looked up when they heard the door open. "Before you say anything," Reid started when he came into view. "But they might know something that we don't." Caleb got up, confused at Reid's statement. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. His question was answered when Riley and Damien came down the stairs. Pogue got up and pulled Riley into a hug, concern written all over his face. "Are you okay?" he asked, seeing the mix of emotions on her eyes. She shook her head and held on to him tighter. Pogue ran his fingers through her hair and looked at Damien. "What happened?" Damien pushed off the wall he was leaning on and looked at Pogue. "Riles is in shock of some stuff." He said, brushing the question off, like it was nothing. Pogue pressed the issue to Damien a little more. "What kind of stuff?" he asked. His arms were still around Riley, her head on his chest. Damien shrugged and turned to Riley. "You tell him if you want, Monkey." Tyler got up and turned to Damien. "What the hell is your problem?" Damien didn't say anything, just leaned back against the wall. "He doesn't trust you guys." Riley said, reluctantly leaving Pogue's embrace. "So I'll talk for both of us. We know about you guys' powers, Mia is missing, and I just found out that not is Mia my sister, but we have powers to. Is everyone satisfied?" Pogue, Caleb, and Tyler stood there with their mouths open. "Your turn." She said, going over to Damien, putting her head on his shoulder. Caleb cleared his throat and started. "I don't know how much about us you know." Damien interrupted Caleb. "I know more than she does. You can explain it though." Caleb rubbed his forehead and was about to speak but was stopped by Riley. "There's no need. Nana told me the story of the Covenant of Silence when I was little. The descendants of the first 5 families, one got reckless with the powers and they were kicked out the Covenant and burned at the stake. But not before they're was a curse put on the covenant to try to control their power usage. If you over use your powers after you ascend, you age rapidly until you die. Am I Right?"

The five boys in the room stared at her, confused. "Don't look at me like that. My grandma told me and Mia about once when we were younger and we stayed with her in London for a week. I just didn't think it was true, but when I heard you guys' last names, I got a feeling something was up. Not to mention, I saw you guys using in the alley that night at Nicky's." They all nodded. "Okay since that's done, me and Pogue just found out that the fifth bloodline didn't die out." Riley moved in closer to the guys, bringing Damien with her. "Who is it? Is it anyone we know?" Riley asked. Caleb and Pogue both nodded. "It's Chase, Riles."
