Chapter 10

Riley stood there in shock, the words still ringing in her mind. 'It's Chase, Riles.' She immediately let the guilt run through her body. 'I let him get to her' she thought to herself over and over. "This is my fault." She finally said aloud, causing all the guys to look at her. "What do you mean, Riley?" Tyler asked. "It's my fault he got her." She said. "I let him get to her." Pogue tried to put his arm around her but she shrugged and started to walk away from them, but was stopped by Damien. "This isn't your fault, Monkey." he said, trying to keep her calm. "It's no one's fault. There's no way anyone of you guys could have known what he was up to." The four boys nodded their heads in agreement. "None of us had any idea. Especially not you, Riles." Reid said, offering her some sort of comfort. "You just found out about this stuff about an hour or so ago." Riley softly nodded her head and sighed. "How do you know that Chase is the descendant of the fifth family?"

Caleb cleared his throat and ran his hand over his head. "Pogue and I checked his school records." He said. "His birth parent's', were killed in a car accident on his eighteenth birthday. Collins is his adoptive parent's last name. His actual last name is Pope." Damien got a confused look on his face. "Pope as in Goody Pope?" Caleb nodded his head. "Wait wasn't Goody Pope the woman who claimed that John Putnam came to her as an Incubus and got her pregnant?" Riley asked, making Damien look at her.

"What exactly did Nana tell you?" Riley shrugged her shoulders. "She didn't tell me that. I read that in one of her books one night after she went to bed. She told me not to, but that only made me wanna read it more." Damien lightly laughed and shook his head at his sister. "So if his last name is really Pope," Tyler started, "He's one of us." Caleb finished.

Reid looked around at the people in the room, hoping that one of them would have an answer to his next question. "Now that that's been established, can we figure out what the hell he wants with Mia?" Caleb looked at Reid. "Power." Damien shook his head, agreeing with Caleb. "If he already knew about you guys, I bet he knew about the girls too." Damien took a few steps closer to Caleb. "And our family has a lot of it." Caleb ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm starting to think his parent's' death wasn't an accident either." Reid started to panic, scared of what Chase might do to Mia. "What are we gonna do?"

Everyone in the room grew silent, all trying to think of a solution to get Mia back safely and stop Chase before he hurt anyone else. Riley was the first one to break the silence. "Okay, if I were a psychotic, power-obsessed maniac, what would be my next move?" she asked out loud to no one in particular. "You go after the people with the power. Pick them off one by one." Damien said, walking back over to the wall. "But how?" Tyler asked, sitting back down on his family column. "Two ways." Pogue started, running his fingers through his hair. "You either go for the strongest, or go for the weakest." Riley walked over to Pogue, putting her arm through his. "Or in this case, the most attached." Caleb sighed and closed his eyes, his hands going over his face. "Or both." He said, drawing the attention to him. "You get more accomplished that way. He took Mia, knowing we all care about her, and that we're gonna do whatever we can to get her back, no matter what the consequences. Why not use that to eliminate the people in the way of fulfilling your desires."

Damien walked over to the group, his face slightly contorted. "Who's stronger out of you guys?" Caleb raised his hand, acknowledging that he knew he was a target. "I ascend tomorrow night." He said, frustration peaking through his voice. Out of nowhere, Riley gasped, letting go of Pogue. "What's wrong?" Pogue asked, wondering what else could be wrong. "Sarah and Kate." She said while pulling out her phone. "There involved in this too." The guys nodded in agreement. Before she started to dial, Caleb's phone started ringing. He pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. "It's Sarah." He said, causing Riley to sigh a breath of relief. He stepped away from everyone to hear what Sarah was saying on the other line, making everyone wait in an anxious silence. When Caleb walked back to them, he had a certain look on his face, telling that he didn't have good news. "Chase got to them already." He said, making them all worry. "He put a spell on Kate. Spiders. Sarah is at the hospital with her now." They all looked around at each other, knowing that the situation had gone from extremely bad to horribly worse. "Let's go to the hospital then." Damien said, making everyone turn around. "It's not safe for her to be alone. It's not safe for any of us to be alone with this guy out there." They all nodded in agreement and started up the stairs to go to the hospital.

Mia (Elsewhere)

Black.

All she saw was black.

She heard something moving behind her, causing her to shift her weight. She groaned aloud, slowly regaining consciousness. 'Where am I' she thought to herself, trying to adjust to the lighting in the new environment. She sat up looking to examine her surroundings, then realized that she couldn't move any further. "What the hell?" she said in a low voice, only to hear footsteps behind her. "Your awake." The voice said, coming into view and surprising Mia. "Chase?" she asked, completely confused. "I don't understand. What's going on?" Chase chuckled and knelt down, brushing his hand lightly over her cheek. "Nothing you need to worry about, sweetheart." He said reaching for something nearby. "I'm taking care of it." He stretched out a gag in front of Mia, making her freak out. "No no no" she whimpered, trying her hardest to get away from Chase. "Shhhhhh" he said, forcing the gag in her mouth and tying it behind her head. He ran his hand over her hair. Mia started to cry, still completely confused by what was going on and when she got there. Chase wiped her tears away as they fell, then leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Everything is gonna be okay. I promise you" he said, getting up and walking towards the door. He turned and waved at Mia, before leaving the room he had Mia in. "This will all be over soon." He closed and locked the door, walking away and leaving Mia confused, sad, and alone.
