sorry this wasn't up last wednesday. I fully intended to put it up before I left for the weekend, but I got busy doing last minute running around and then I was gone all weekend with the family for my niece's memorial.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed again.

"Corin Evelyn Danvers, where were you last night?" Corin turned around to look at her older brother, who was being really loud, in the middle of the school hallway.

"Out."

"Where out?" Pogue leaned over to Caleb and whispered,

"I thought we weren't supposed to make them suspicious?"

"If I didn't bug her about it, it would be suspicious." Caleb whispered back. Pogue nodded in understanding.

"Not like it's any of your business, but we went to a party in the woods last night. Now can I go before I'm late? Do you have any other questions for me? No, good." Corin turned on her heel and stomped off. Payton went to follow her when Pogue grabbed her arm.

"Maybe you should hang around us today."

"Why?"

"I don't think that Corin is the best influence." Payton's jaw dropped and she stared at her brother for a few minutes. She then shook his hand off of her, turned back around to follow Corin and said,

"Screw you."

Payton caught up with Corin and let her know what had happened.

"Maybe you should hang around with them for a while. You know, so they don't hate you too." Payton scoffed and said,

"they can kiss my bum. You were there for me through thick and thin and if you think I am for one second going to abandon you, you're on drugs." Corin smiled and slung her hand over Payton's shoulders. They entered the class together.

They had forgotten that Reid, Pogue, Sarah and Kate were all in this class too. They sat down near the front because they knew the rest always sat in the back. All during class, the four kept passing notes to the two girls. Each time one of the girls would take the note, scrunch it up and drop it on the floor, without reading it. Finally Payton had enough. She turned around and glared at Pogue. For the first time in his life, Pogue felt truly afraid. After that, they were left alone.

The bell rang and the two girls left the class and headed out of Spencer. They got into Corin's car and drove.

"What a bunch of holes. I can't believe them. AAARRGGGG!"

"Calm down. They are just being older brothers. I'm ticked off too, but you know we are going to have to take it for a while. You and I both felt that evil a few weeks ago and they are going to need us. We have to keep training and try and stick as close as we can to them." Corin tried to reason with Payton.

"I know. Have you felt anything since then or gotten anything?"

"Not a thing and that's what really worries me."

"Caleb said he destroyed that Chase guy. You don't think it's him, do you?"

"I don't know, all I know, whatever it was, it was strong, evil and very ticked off. I'm not even certain that it's only one." Payton looked over at Corin worried.

"Where are we going?"

"To train." Payton simply nodded.

After class the whole group met by Caleb's locker and informed the others what had happened in class. Caleb ran his fingers through his hair and hit the back of his head against his locker.

Reid spoke up. "You said they went to the woods for a party?"

"Yeah."

"You know who goes to the woods for their parties, right?"

"Yeah." Sarah looked around confused. Caleb leaned down and said,

"All of the binge parties go down in the woods. Drug binges." Sarah put her hand to her mouth and looked at Caleb sympathetically.

Corin and Payton were both sweating by the time they finished. They reached the house and made their way to their rooms. Corin collapsed on her bed and fell asleep. A little while later Payton came in and asked if she wanted to go out to Nicky's.

They entered Nicky's and made their way to the pool tables. It was just starting to get crowded. Aaron came up to them and slapped down a twenty.

"So, would you ladies like to learn how to play?"

"Oh, we already know how to play." Payton smiled at Aaron. "The real question is, do you think you can handle playing with the both of us?"

Aaron laughed and took off his jacket, handing it to one of his friends. "I think I could handle you and a whole lot more."

"Bring it on, big boy." Corin whispered in his ear. Aaron shuddered from the chills racing down his spine. One of his lackeys smiled and leered at Corin.

The game went exactly how the girls planned it to go. Aaron lost, bad.

"You cheated."

"Aaron, that is low, even for you. Blame a girl for cheating just because she beat you. Come on."

"I don't know how, but you cheated." Payton laughed and before she knew it, Bordy, one of Aaron's friends, had her hands behind her back.

Corin found herself in a similar situation with Aaron. Two more of their friends came up to block anyone's view of what was happening.

"I say we take them outside and get our twenty dollars worth out of them." Aaron's friends all laughed.

"Well then, you won't be getting very much." Payton bit back.

"Oh sweetie, let me be the judge on how much you are worth. Don't you worry your pretty little head, we'll take care of you." The two girls were frog marched out to the back alley. Corin caught Payton's eye and gave her a slight nod.

The alley was dirty and smelled. Payton scrunched up her nose. "I hope you aren't thinking this is a romantic place." Aaron leered at her and shoved Corin forward.

"Now ladies, I think to start off, we should get a little show. What do you say boys. See some skin, know what we're getting before we buy?" The three others nodded, not taking their eyes off the two girls.

"Well, if that's what you wanted, all you had to do was ask." Corin ran her hands up and down her body and started to pound her hips to the beat that was coming from inside Nicky's. Payton soon followed. Corin shimmied up to Aaron and pressed her body against his. Giving off little moans. She dipped herself down and pulled her shirt away from her chest, letting Aaron see all the way down her top. She reached up and undid Aaron's pants, while licking her lips and breathing deeply. She wasn't sure what Payton was doing, but knew the girl could take care of herself. She could feel that Aaron was hard already and she fought to keep the look of disgust off of her face. She wrapped her hand around his hard member and slowly stood up. She once again pressed herself into Aaron and could feel him rocking himself back and forth in her hand. She leaned up and nipped his ear.

"Do you know it only takes eleven pounds of pressure to break the male penis?" To prove her point she dug her fingernails into Aaron's member and squeezed. He tried to back away and it only tightened her grip. He stood very still, whimpering.

"Tell your lackeys to back off and leave us alone. If I ever see one of you bothering anyone of my friends, I will sneak into your room and finish this." With the word 'this', she squeezed once more. Aaron let out a painful moan. "Room 307, right?" Aaron's eyes widened and he gulped.

"Guys, back off. I think, we're done for today." The other three looked upset and tried to take one last grab at Payton. She cleanly roundhouse one of them and the other two stepped back. Corin let go of Aaron and zipped his pants back up.

"Yeah, isn't that neat. We're both black belts." Corin looked over to Payton, who was staring at the other two, ready for one of them to make a move. The one she had kicked was still on the ground, his eyes closed. Corin patted the front of Aaron's pants and said, "be good and stay out of trouble! I'll be watching." She and Payton walked back into Nicky's and sat at the bar.

They hadn't been there long, when a feeling came over them. Corin wanted to shiver and Payton was rubbing her hands up and down her arms. Payton leaned over to Corin and whispered,

"it feels like someone is watching us and not the flattering way either. You don't think Aaron's stupid enough, do you?"

"No, it's not him. He's sitting in the corner looking like he's going to crap his pants each time one of us turns in that direction. I know what you mean though. Someone is definitely watching and it's making me want to gag." Corin looked around once more and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, until her eyes came to the jukebox. There standing in the shadows were two figures. It was hard to tell features, but she could see they were both male and the vibe she was getting from them was evil. She tried to concentrate on the figures and started getting flashes. It was all coming so fast that she wasn't able to process it all before she felt dizzy. Her head started to spin and she wanted to throw up.

"We need to leave. I tried to see who it could be and I was bombarded with images. My sight is going and I need to take my pills before this gets worse." Payton nodded and stood up. They made their way out and Corin handed Payton the keys. Just as Payton took the keys from her, Corin was hit by a tidal wave of images. She stumbled back and grabbed the first thing she was able. It happened to be a car. The alarm went off and Corin grabbed her head. Her head was pounding so bad and she felt like she was drunk. Payton ran over and grabbed her around the waist. Payton saw a set of bright headlights coming into the parking lot and used that light to guide Corin to her car. Corin was babbling about her head and then she started to shake. Payton knew she needed to get to the car. She threw Corin in and reached into the glove box and opened the bottle of pills Corin had in there. Tipping her friends head back she asked,

"how many?"

"Just two for now. My vision is going and..." It took almost a full minute for Corin to slur out her answer and in that time, Payton was getting more nervous. She dumped two pills into her hand and forced Corin's head back and made her swallow them.

"Hey what's going on?" Payton heard Pogue behind her. She did so not need this right now. Here she and Corin were, in the parking lot of Nicky's. Corin looked spaced out of her mind and Payton was just caught shoving pills down her friends throat. Corin was only going to get worse with the pills. That was the unfortunate side effect. They took away the massive migraines Corin would get, but they left her loopy for a while. Each time Corin would get a vision, it was accompanied by a massive migraine. Payton looked at her brother and then at all his friends. She climbed into the car and started it up.

"We are heading home, I'll see everyone tomorrow." She put the car in reverse and pulled out, but not before Corin saw Caleb and waved at him, shouting,

"Caleb, hey, you know we have the same initials in our name?" She raised a hand and gave him a sloppy wave and a goofy grin. Payton looked in the rearview mirror and Caleb did not look pleased.

"Great, just what we need."

Payton had been trying to get closer to Tyler, but he, for some reason, was avoiding her. Reid on the other hand, was always around Corin, with one of his conquests. If he was trying to make her jealous, he was doing a lousy job of it. Hurt, worthless, yes, jealous, no. She tried her best to ignore him, but it was kind of hard to do when he stood in your way everywhere you went and had his hands and face permanently attached to his flavour of the hour. Yes, hour. It seemed every time Corin spotted Reid, he was slobbering all over and groping a different girl. The one time, she even saw him with two girls at once.

"Come on, ignore him. If he wants to be a pig, then let him." Payton was trying to comfort Corin, but it was hard to do when she herself had to watch Tyler chat up the girls. Although he never sucked their faces off, he did smile a lot at them and they were always giggling at him.

Payton leaned into Corin and said, "have you felt anything lately?"

"Yeah and it's not getting better."

"We need to step up training. I know it's hard enough right now, but hey, they already seem to be shunning us, so maybe this will give us an excuse."

"My thoughts exactly." Corin looked sadly down the hall to where Reid was leaning into a blonde cheerleader.

Payton wanted to do nothing more than pound the blonde son into the ground, but she knew that Corin was in love with him and besides, they had a job to do. "No time like the present to start."

The two walked out of Spenser.
