A/N- Yay, a quick update! The rest of the updates should all be quick now. Nothing else to say really so enjoy!
ShadowWolfDagger- Well I have written the chapter where they find out, but that won't be for another chapter or two. Don't worry, it's coming. Thanks for the review though!
A week after the incident with Tyler, Brook was barely able to manage. She was going to school and then to practice and then home. She didn't want to go to Nicky's even if it was a Ridgecrest night and wouldn't go with Keahi to town. Terran and Makani were still home, but they were both planning to leave soon. Eric had even managed a trip for the weekend to visit Terran.
"Brook, we're going to Nicky's tonight. Do you want to come?" Makani asked.
"No, not really." Brook mumbled. She was curled up in her bed watching TV. Makani sighed, but didn't push the subject further. She closed the door again and went in search of the oldest Evans sister.
"Brook, come out tonight."
"No." Brook said, quickly getting annoyed with the invite.
"You need to get out."
"I don't feel like it."
"Brook, I know you don't want to see Tyler again, but if we stay here you're probably going to have to see him again."
"We probably won't stay here. We never stay where Calix is."
"Ya, well things are meant to change. Anyway, you've never been this heartbroken over leaving a guy before. I mean you were close with Justin and you rebounded pretty well after we moved."
"I didn't feel like this with Justin." Brook said.
"Well, you need to get out and move on if you plan to get over Tyler."
"That's saying I will get over him."
"You will, now come on. We're going out." Terran said. Terran got up from Brook's computer chair and walked over to her closet. She ruffled through some clothes before finding a pair of dark wash jeans and a tie-dyed tank top. "I'm giving you 15 minutes to get dressed."
"I'm not going Terran." Brook muttered.
"You either come out with us tonight or I'll call Tyler and find some reason for him to come over."
"He wouldn't fall for it."
"You never know… I could also make you talk to him."
"If I go out will all of you stop pestering me?" Brook asked.
"Yes."
"Then get out of my room so I can change." Brook said. Terran just smiled triumphantly and walked out of the room.
"Is she coming out with us tonight?" Keahi asked.
"Yup, she'll be down in 15 minutes." Terran said.
oOoOoOo
"I'm so happy you came tonight!" Keahi grinned.
"Why? What's so special about tonight?" Brook asked.
"O… um… the entire football team's going to be there?" Keahi said.
"BS… They're going to be there aren't they?" Brook asked. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel. "I'm going home."
"You suck at lying Kea." Makani muttered from the back seat.
"What would you have said?" Keahi asked her sister.
"I'm turning around. One of you can get your own car and drive." Brook said.
"No, you're going to Nicky's. You can avoid Tyler. I mean you have been all week. We're going to have a nice night out since I'm leaving in the morning and Terran and Eric are leaving tonight." Makani said.
"I'm driving, I can choose where I go." Brook said. Makani's eyes went white and strong gusts of wind kept the car moving forward instead of turning around like Brook wanted.
"Makani! Stop it!" Brook yelled.
"Not until you agree to come. I can push this car all the way there if I have to." Makani said.
"Fine, I'll go. But I'm not promising how long I'll stay there."
"That's fine. We just want you to stay here for a bit. It doesn't have to be the whole night." Keahi said.
The car was quiet for the rest of the trip. Brook was still fuming from the fact she was being tricked into seeing Tyler while Makani and Keahi were watching her to make sure she wasn't going to try and leave. When they pulled into the parking lot there were only a few other cars and Brook was relieved to see that there wasn't a black hummer. "See, he's not even here." Keahi said when she saw her sister's face relax after searching the parked cars. "Now, let's go have some fun!"
Makani and Keahi found a table while Brook got the drinks from the bar. "Hey Brook." Chris Hudson said as he walked up next to Brook at the bar. He placed his own drink orders before leaning on the bar. Chris was on the swim team and was also in a few of Brook's classes. "I'm surprised to see you out tonight."
"I think everyone is." Brook said.
"Ya, you've been so depressed lately. I mean you're usually laughing and having fun, but all week you've just sat there. You haven't even been taking any notes."
"I know. My sisters are trying to help right now. I'm sure I'll be fine soon though." Brook said with a smile.
"Well, I hope you are." Chris said. Nicky placed the drinks in front of Brook and she handed him the money. She said good bye to Chris before heading back over to the table her sister's had found. As she was walking over she passed by the pool tables in which she saw familiar blonde and brown hair. Tyler looked up from the shot he was about to make and although it was only a second of eye contact it felt like longer for both. Brook nearly spilled the drinks all over someone and Tyler effectively missed his shot. Brook hurried past the pool tables and found the table.
"I'm leaving." Brook announced as she set the drinks down.
"You haven't even has a sip of your drink though!" Keahi said.
"Give it to Terran when she gets here… I don't care. I'm leaving."
"Leaving so soon Brook?" A voice said from behind Brook. Brook's back straightened and her two sisters stood up.
"Calix…" Brook whispered.
"It's nice to see you too. It's been what? Two years since I last saw you three? How's your sister doing? Will you please congratulate her on her engagement for me?" Calix said with a grin.
"You can tell me now." Terran said, coming up to join her sisters.
"Great, I have all of you together. This will make it so much easier for me. I don't have to go around hunting you all down." Calix grinned. Calix pulled out a gun and aimed it for Keahi and pulled the trigger. As he pulled the trigger Terran's eyes went dark brown as an earthquake rumbled the tiny bar, making Calix mix. "You sure are getting better at using your powers." Calix grinned.
"Everyone out now!" Nicky hollered from the bar. Most of the patrons ran out of the bar while the Evans sisters and Calix stood where they were, staring each other down. "I said everyone out now!" Nicky hollered again. Calix just grinned as he turned and left the bar.
"Brook!" Tyler yelled as he ran up to their table. The four sisters were equally stunned by the events and were just standing there, looking at the spot Calix had just been. "Brook, we've got to go!" Tyler said. He gripped her hand and pulled her out of the bar. Keahi, Terran, and Makani followed.
"Why'd you do that?" Brook asked quietly.
"What are you talking about?" Tyler asked.
"Why'd you get me?" Brook asked.
"Because I didn't want you to get hurt." Tyler said. He looked at her like she was an idiot for asking the question.
"I've got to go." Brook said before turning around and walking to her car.
"Brook! I want to talk." Tyler said.
"I need to get home right now. My parents are probably worried."
"Can I call you?" Tyler asked.
"Ya, um… call me tonight sometime." Brook said as she nodded her head.
"Alright, I will. Talk to you then." Tyler said.
"Talk to you then…" Brook gave Tyler a small smile before she left again for her car. Keahi, Makani, and Terran were waiting by the car.
"What he say?"
"He's going to call me." Brook said. "What happened to your car Terran?" Brook asked.
"I saw Calix walking in and knew there was going to be trouble. I sent Eric home with it."
"O… ok. Well let's get going. I'm sure Mom's figured out what's happened and is pacing in front of the door."
"I can just see it now…" Makani groaned.
