Anyways... enjoy...
*******************************************************************************************************************************************
Krissi stared at the kitchen table. Gabe had left a while ago. Trey had tried calling her but she was ignoring everyone. Something was wrong with her brother. Reid had gone looking for him. It was past curfew and Rafe was rarely late. Madi was pacing.
"He's okay, Mom." Krissi tried, not believing herself. Madi shook her head.
"No he's not, Baby. Can you keep a secret from your father?" She asked, sitting in front of her daughter.
"Your visions are back aren't they?" Krissi stated.
"They are. Caleb bound them when we were eighteen but as soon as Sarah returned, my visions returned." Madi told her daughter.
"Bet they're clearer than mine." Krissi sighed. Madi leaned back in her chair.
"That's the scary part. They probably are. I saw your sketch of Rafe's birthday." She whispered.
"It's going to happen?" Krissi asked. "Cade'll win?"
"Only your brother can determine that. If Cade takes Kennedy, I'm going to lose my son." Her mother said.
"We won't let…" Krissi swore.
"It's not your choice. It's Rafe's." Madi said…
Reid slammed the steering wheel. Tyler had turned his truck sideways on the road. Caleb and Pogue were trailing Reid.
"Ty, you better have found him and that's why you're blocking the road." Reid yelled. Tyler stared into the woods.
"Found him." He said. "We just can't get there."
"What are you talking about?" Caleb asked getting out of his car.
"Try walking about five feet and you'll see what I mean." Tyler snapped. He managed to create an energy ball and hurled it in front of him. Exactly five feet away it dissolved.
"Kid's talented." Pogue whistled…
Rafe laid Kennedy on the ground by the Mustang. He felt a force field get hit with something. Cade looked in the direction it came from.
"Out past curfew, Rafe?" He tormented. "Maybe you should quit daydreaming about little Kennedy and get home."
"Oh shut up already." Rafe snapped, waving one hand to throw Cade into the force field. Cade's eyes widened. "Did Mommy forget to mention both of my parents are witches? Or that my Aunt has been teaching me spells since me and my friends were kids? That's how your 'Oh so awesome' uncle died. He was killed by my aunt! An elemental. A damn talented elemental. " Rafe hit Cade again.
"Oh man I pissed off the prince." Cade teased. Rafe took one last shot. Cade dropped to the ground.
"Yeah, you pissed him off big time." Rafe said, as the force field gave way. Cade felt blood on the back of his neck. "Until next time, remember that." Rafe walked back to his car. He picked Kennedy up and set her in the seat. She was starting to wake up. Rafe heard four cars pull up.
"What the hell happened here?" Reid exclaimed. Caleb shook his head.
"Not here." He warned.
"I've got to get Kennedy back to the dorms. I'll tell you tomorrow. After school." Rafe said. Reid grabbed his son's shoulders.
"Look at me, Rafe." He ordered. Rafe shook his head. "Damn it, Rafe William Garwin." Rafe looked up. Black met blue.
"I told you, I need to get her back and I'm tired." Rafe yelled, using to knock his father away from him. The older blonde stared as his son drove away.
"He's dead when I get my hands on him." Reid swore…
Rafe held his head as he felt the headache. He had left Kennedy in her dorm with Michaela. Trey was asleep. Rafe slid into the bathroom. He moved his blonde hair away from his neck. Some stuck, soaked in blood.
"Shit." He mumbled.
"Where've you been?" Trey asked, coming into the doorway.
"Thought you were asleep." Rafe said.
"Light sleeper. Gotta be with you as a roomie." Trey admitted. "Nice slice. It runs all the way down your back. Trying to match your mom?"
"Cade… he kidnapped Kennedy… I've only got until my birthday with her." Rafe told him.
"So you're…" Trey asked.
"I don't see where I have a choice. I've got seven months until I ascend and this gets worse." Rafe admitted.
"We're running out of options. We gotta take him out before he takes you out. We're falling apart as it is, Rafe. You and Gabe's rivalry is living proof. But it's what's keeping us together. You die we lose. We lose each other." Trey reasoned.
"Better start looking harder. Get your mom's spell book. I'll get the Book." Rafe said his blue eyes seemingly darker.
"We can't take the book out of the basement." Trey stated.
"The leader of the Sons can." Rafe said. "The eldest can."
"So wouldn't that be Cade?" Trey asked,
"No. It'd be Caleb." Rafe admitted. His eyes flashed. "Or a Caleb look a like."
"No way, Rafe. Bad idea. Bad idea." Trey said, watching his "brother" disappear…
Reid wasn't as stupid as his seventeen year old son thought. He was leaning casually against the wall as Rafe walked into the basement. He flicked his hand. Rafe slammed into the stone chair.
"Tell me. What happens when my son uses on me? Do I 1) ground him for eternity, 2) beat the shit out of him or 3) make him tell me what the hell his problem is?" Reid growled.
"I lose her if I don't will him my power on my birthday." Rafe said. "I can't lose her." Reid lost his temper as soon as his son said that. He'd almost been in that situation before. Madi had known what Chase was for three days before the rest of them figured it out and he was threatening to kill Reid to get her power. Just picturing what would happen if she had told Chase yes haunted him every day. Then there was the day he actually almost killed her himself.
"Talk to Lauren. She's the only one who can take out a son. Different magic." Reid said. "Magic Trey only has half of."
"What happened to pissed off Dad?" Rafe asked.
"I almost lost your mom three times senior year. Twice because of Chase Collins and once because of myself." Reid said. "And that was all within seven months. Difference is you have that long to stop it." Rafe nodded.
"Thanks." He said. Reid nodded.
"Rafe, one question… why'd it have to be Bael?" He asked.
"I don't know yet, Dad… I really don't." Rafe told.
"She must mean something to you if you're willing to consider dying for her." Reid said, making Rafe stare off into space.
"It's not going to come to that." Rafe told his father. "I'm not going to let it."
"You're not going to have much of a chance. He has three times your power." Reid told his son.
"Trey's got half his mom's power, right? If Lauren teaches him enough to match hers then we can take Cade." Rafe thought.
"Not that easy, Rafe. It never is." Reid said…
Madi jumped up as Reid brought Rafe into the house. She hugged her son.
"Rafe… never scare me again." She begged. The seventeen year old wiggled out of her grip. His father laughed.
"Sorry kid." He said as his son gave him a glare.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I wasn't trying to scare you." Rafe said. Madi nodded, wiping her son's blonde hair from his face. She saw the cut that was now on her son's face. Blonde had turned to red.
"What happened?" She asked. Rafe bit his lip.
"Got into a fight. Used a lot. Still got beat up." He said. Krissi ran down the stairs. She flew at her brother.
"Thank god you're okay. Trey called and said you'd gotten some stupid idea to take the book away from the colony house because of Cade." She said, hugging him. Rafe tried not to look at his dad who he had a feeling was either severely pissed or extremely proud.
"I'm fine, Kris." Rafe told her. She stepped away before looking up at his face.
"Why didn't you use to heal that?" She asked, looking at her brother's face.
"Didn't think about it." Rafe noted…
Reid- *Man I turned into a sap with that kid. Are you shitting me?*
Shut up Reid
R- *I mean come on... if it was...* (Kort covers Reid's mouth with duct tape)
I did tell him to shut up. Well Reviews are lovely as always and next time we will be joined by.... Caleb Danvers! And just as a word of encouragement to review, I will take the tape off of Reid's mouth if I get a review. Until next time.
