Chapter 10

Hey guys! Don't forget to review if you can! :)

Rachel's POV

Oh my God, OH MY GOD! Why is he doing this? What does he want? Rachel thought as Chase controlled her body towards the boys' dorms. She tried to cry out but nothing happened; her body just kept walking. "Shh, it's ok, Rachel." Chase cooed in her head. "You know, maybe if you had started dating me, we wouldn't have this problem."

"But you didn't even like me like that! You liked Kate…" she trailed off, slowly piecing the facts together.

"You understand now, don't you? I was only interested in Kate to get to the sons. But you weren't a part of the sons' lives yet…not really. I always thought you were cute." He replied. Then he laughed. They had now reached Tyler and Reid's room. The door was locked, but Chase used his powers through Rachel's body to walk right through. Then, her fingers unlocked it, and her body sat on Reid's bed. Suddenly, the door flew open, and there was Reid.

"Rachel!" he gasped, surprised and out of breath. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you. There's something…I have to say." Rachel's voice said seductively.

"Ok? Um, hold on a sec. You should probably know that I felt Chase using his powers. I came here to get my phone to check with the others. Tyler didn't feel anything yet, and I don't plan on telling him, no offense. I mean, you can text him if you want." He said, grabbing his iphone which happened to be by Rachel's thigh. Rachel's body grabbed his hand, and he blushed pink. "What are you-"

"Reid, I realized that Tyler is not who I want." Her voice said.

"Wait, what?" Reid dropped his hand away from her.

"I thought long and hard, and it's you I want, Reid."

"No," he shook his head. "You just said-" he started. Rachel's body stood up and moved very close to Reid, putting a finger on his lips. Reid froze.

"I know. I've changed my mind." She murmured. Rachel was screaming inside of her body, but her screams were silent to everyone but Chase.

"No. As much as I hate Tyler right now, I don't want to hurt him more than I have. He's my brother, and I hurt him first." Reid said. Thank you, Reid! She thought, loosening her anger on him, but Rachel could tell he was struggling not to give in. His breathing had quickened, and he was forcing himself to not look at her.

"Reid, you can't tell me that you don't want me." Rachel's body said, shrugging her wool coat to the floor and nudging Reid to his bed and sitting on him. Her body wrapped her legs around his torso and her lips began kissing his neck.

"R-rachel. Please stop." He moaned, his fingers trembling as they went up to push her away.

"C'mon, Reid. Be the bad boy I know you are. I'm done with Tyler." Then suddenly, Reid was kissing her the way Tyler had when they were sneaking around, the way he had kissed her to convince her to give into him. The kisses were urgent and passionate, like he had waited so long and couldn't help himself. Just like Tyler. Rachel began sobbing inside her body, and Chase laughed again. Reid unbuttoned her blouse and threw off his jacket and shirt. Rachel's body ran her fingers along his chest. Then, the worst happened. The door flew open, and there was Tyler. He stared at them, looks of horror and betrayal flashing on his face. Rachel broke down at his pain.

"Tyler, I-" Reid started, but Tyler charged at Reid with a loud scream and began punching him. Reid fought back. The two boys were tossing around on the floor while they threw punches at each other's faces. Shouts of emotional and physical pain erupted from both boys as they fought.

"Stop it, Chase! Please!" Rachel screamed. But once again, Chase only laughed.

"I can't. This is too much fun, babe." He sneered. Then, Pogue and Caleb appeared, Sarah shielded behind them. "Aw, damn. Party's over." Chase groaned playfully. "Well, Rachel, this might actually hurt a bit." His voice echoed in her head. Next thing Rachel knew, every part of her body was in incredible pain. Then, suddenly, everything went dark.

Tyler's POV

Tyler was just about to punch Reid in the face for the sixth time when everyone else came in the room. "What the hell is going on?" Caleb demanded. Then, his eyes landed on Rachel, beautiful, sweet Rachel in only her bra and skirt. "Reid-" Caleb started.

"I didn't m- she just…came at me!" Reid protested loudly as Rachel put on her shirt.

"The fuck with that!" Tyler yelled.

"Reid's right." An eerily familiar voice said soothingly. All the sons turned to see Chase, an unconscious Rachel in his arms. An animal-like roar erupted from Pogue, but Caleb pinned him to the wall with a deafening thud. Tyler got ready to attack, but Chase stopped him. "No, boys. You remember the rules now, don't you? You touch me, she dies. You touch her, she dies." He smirked.

"Leave her outta this!" Reid growled.

"Nah, I don't think I want to."

"You killed Kate! Why?" Sarah suddenly blurted, bursting into tears. She started to sink to the ground, but Caleb had left Pogue and caught her, holding her close in his arms as she sobbed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sarah. I really am." Chase cooed sarcastically.

"You son of a bitch!" Pogue erupted, lunging toward Chase.

"Well, I'm getting quite bored. That's enough for today." Chase yawned, suddenly disappearing in a dramatic cloud of black, wispy smoke just as Pogue reached him. Pogue growled in frustration as Tyler and Reid rushed up to the abandoned Rachel.

"Outta my way, you bastard." Tyler spat, pushing Reid away and taking Rachel in his arms. Everyone crowded around Tyler and Rachel. Pogue and Sarah whispered comforting words to each other as tears spilled down their cheeks. Reid and Caleb had the same hardened, pained expression. Tyler felt Rachel's chest rising and falling evenly up and down. "She's asleep. I'll go take her up to her room." He announced.

Rachel's POV

Rachel awoke to darkness. What happened? How long have I been out? She thought. Slowly, her eyes adjusted. She was in her dorm room. Nicole was sleeping peacefully in her bed. Is this a dream? A trick? She looked around to see Tyler, sleeping in her desk chair. So everything's…ok? And Tyler brought me back to my room… She noted that he was not sleeping with her. What had happened? She thought back to earlier, and the memories of Tyler and Reid flooded back. She had caused both of them so much pain. And Pogue and Sarah too…Kate's death was her fault. She'd probably end up ruining Caleb's life too, somehow. Everything was starting to get back to normal for them, when bam…here comes Rachel Cooper, here to ruin everything. Extremely upset with herself, Rachel quietly snuck out the door. Then as she was walking outside, a burst of cold air smacked into her, making her wide awake. She looked down and realized she was still in her school uniform, no coat. She gave a frustrated groan and sank to the ground. Rachel let the tears fall as she thought about everything that had happened. Suddenly, someone from behind slipped a jacket around her shoulders. It was navy blue, and a familiar tiny, pink rhinestone heart pin caught her eye. "What the hell are you doing out here?" Tyler's voice said coldly. Feeling more tears coming, she struggled to hold them back as she turned around to face him.

"Just, um…" she trailed off. His face showed no emotion, although his eyes were hard. He sat next to her, keeping a distance. "I'm sorry," she choked, pulling his jacket tighter around her and breathing in his scent. A wave of memories flooded through her. Everything from when they first meet at the party to Halloween to when he saved her from Mark. All their kisses- in the bathroom, the woods, her dorm, everything. "I didn't-"

"I know, Chase was using you." Tyler said simply. She turned her head to look at him. He was looking out across the grounds, his hair blowing in the winter wind.

"So you're not…mad at me?" she asked.

"What? No, why would I be mad at you?" he turned to face her, giving her a confused look.

"Nothing. It just…seems like you don't…wanna be near me. That's all. I mean, after all that happened…"

"Yeah, but that's not your fault. I'm just upset with Reid…and myself. Reid could have controlled himself." He said, scooting closer.

"Yes, it is my fault." She said sullenly.

"No, it really isn't. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. Caleb warned me about including you in my life, but I didn't listen. I thought everything would be fine." He said, looking sadly at the ground. "I'll never forgive myself for the danger I've put you in."

"Don't! Don't say that! I love you, Tyler! I'm absolutely crazy about you! I would rather live a life full of extreme danger…even die, than live a life without you!" she cried, channeling some Bella Swan.

"Really?" he looked hopefully in her eyes.

"Yes. Really." She smiled slightly.

"I won't let anyone hurt you." He said, taking her face in his hands and kissing her. "Ever."

Like it? Sorry it was so short!
