"Let's grab Reid, Zeph, and Sarah and get out of here." Tyler said.
"We can't leave Caleb to fight alone."
"And we can't risk you getting hurt or Chase taking your powers away and you dieing." He began dragging Keagan away and shouting for Reid. She pulls out of his grasp and stops walking.
"I'm staying," She says. "I can help Caleb."
"You are so stubborn." Reid walks out of nowhere and swaying a little.
"Reid." Keagan runs to his side to help him stand and starts off by asking him if he was alright.
"I'll live." He replies.
"Reid, reason with her, please." Tyler says.
"What are you talking about?"
"Tell her she can't stay or she will possibly die."
"I won't die, Chase wants the Power of Five and I don't ascend for another month. I can help Caleb." Keagan drops Reid and runs outside into the rain.
"Keagan!" He shouted for her but she ignored his call.
Caleb had the upper hand and Chase was wearing out fast. Caleb through one last hit to Chase and sent him flying into the air.
"Keagan!" Caleb shouted to her. She nodded and changed her eyes to pitch black. She raised her hands into the air and concentrated hard on what she wanted to do.
Out of nowhere, a giant hole in the sky was being made and enlarging itself. Chase flew in and the hole closed.
The rain stopped and the sun was appearing through the clouds.
"What did you do to him?" Caleb asks. The rest walk out, Sarah in Tyler's arms and Zeph being dragged out by Reid.
"I banished him."
"You couldn't kill him?"
"I'm not allowed to, okay. I can't kill any of the Sons if they were meant to protect me. It's like disrupting the universe if I did and I did what I could and that would be banishing him from the face of the Earth. And let me tell you, where I put him is far worst than death."
"Where did you put him?"
"That's a secret." Zeph began waking up. "And speaking of secrets, how are we going to explain this to him?" Keagan said.
"I'm sure you can come up with something." Reid says and hands over the boy to her. The weight was almost too much for Keagan as she almost fell over hanging on to Zeph. She stood him up straight and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Keagan?" He mumbled into the crook of her neck.
"I'm right here, Zeph. Let's get you an ice pack and into bed." She says and dabs his forehead where there was a huge bump. He winces. "Sorry." She helps him over to her car and sticks him in the passenger seat.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"I'll explain it when you're better, Zeph." She said and drove off, away from the barn with Caleb and Tyler's vehicles behind.
--
They make it back to the dorms.
"I'm going to take Sarah back to her room." Caleb says and Tyler follows.
"Yeah, I'm taking Zeph back to his. I have a little explaining to do." Keagan says.
"Are you going to be alright?" Reid says putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She says and begins walking. "I just really want to get out of this dress."
"I'd like to get it off you too." He says with a smirk. She huffed.
"Not a good time for jokes, Reid." He shrugs.
"I'm just trying to lighten up the mood." She turns to face him.
"I'll see you later." She says.
"Yeah, I'll probably stop by your room later on." She smiles and levels Zeph who was beginning to slip off her shoulders.
"Bye Reid."
"Bye Babe." He walks off the other direction.
After getting Zeph to the showers, Keagan left to the showers also. She told him that after he was done, go straight to his room and stay there until she came. Keagan left to the nearest corner store and picked up some aspirin pills for Zeph. She drove back and went straight to Zeph's room. During her drive back, she began wondering how she would tell Zeph about her true identity and the boy's. But that not what she's completely worried about, she's more worried about his reaction. Would he accept the information or just take it in and leave her.
She entered his room, seeing him lying in his bed. Keagan walked over and sat at the foot of his bed. He opened his eyes and sat up.
"Here, take this." Keagan hands him two small pills and an opened bottled water for him to drink. He takes it, and takes in all of the water from the bottle. He dumps the bottle in the trash and lies back down.
"Two choices, you can either stay here and wait till your headache passes or come out to lunch with me. You must be starving." Keagan says.
"…I choose lunch." Keagan smiles and takes his hand to lead him out the door.
"Where would you like to go?" She asks as she pulls out of the parking lot.
"I don't care, as long as it's somewhere quiet."
"Ok." She replies and speeds off.
They sat at a table in the corner of a restaurant outside of town, eating there food quietly. Zeph quickly attacked his food when it hit the table.
"So tell me, what happened last night?" He asks after finishing.
"…You have to promise me you won't freak out and you have to believe me, what I'm about to tell you is no joke, Zeph."
"I promise, after what happened to me, I don't think you'd be joking."
"You've heard that legend of the Daughters of Salem and Sons of Ipswich, right?" Keagan begins and he nods.
"Yeah, you said it was all crazy talk when someone would bring it up. And they thought you were one of them." He chuckles.
"Zeph, I am." She went on with the story of herself and the Sons and told him everything.
"I…don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything." Keagan said. "I'm sorry for keeping this from you. This is why I moved away and tried to convince you not to come. But now that Chase is gone, there's nothing to worry about anymore."
"Yeah, I'm glad it's over. Who else knows about this?"
"Sarah knows, she did a little studying and Kate will know pretty soon."
"Let's go, I'm feeling pretty tired." They stood up and Keagan dropped a few dollars on the table. Keagan didn't like throwing all of this information at him when he's in a bad state. He was just kidnapped and knocked out several times. Of course he would be tired and not able to take every thing in.
Once they made it back to the dorms they parted ways. Keagan left Zeph to rest and decided to go back to her room to rest up also. She changed into a grey yoga pant and put on a white tank top, once comfortable she went to lie in bed.
Not a minute into her sleep and a knock came from the door. She growled in frustration and hastily got up to answer it. Angry at whomever it was. She swung the door open to reveal Reid.
'I hate you, Reid.' Keagan yells in her head.
"Can I come in?" He asks. Keagan steps aside and lets him in.
"What is it, Reid?"
"I told you I'd be stopping by your room."
"So what is it that you want?"
"You," He says. "Just playing. So how are you feeling?"
"Good, a little light headed, but I'll live."
"That's good, Tyler told me about the whole using and dying thing about you."
"Yeah…I didn't use that much at the barn. Don't worry."
"We have every right to be. We are your bodyguards."
"Yeah, well that was because there was someone out there trying to steal my powers but since he is gone, there's nothing to worry about."
"But I'd still like to keep my eye on you." He says.
"You have a very playful attitude."
"It gets me what I want."
"Oh yeah and what is it that you want?"
"Like I said: you." He leans his head in closer to Keagan's.
"I thought you were just playing?" She moves in closer, enough for their noses to almost touch.
"And like you said: I have a very playful attitude." He brings his hand up to brush away Keagan's hair and then letting it fall to rest on her arm. "I never got to finish with you. What was it that you whispered to me? Was it, 'I'll give you anything you want'?" He whispers. They were so close to locking their lips to each other but like other times, they were interrupted.
Tyler walks through the door and freezes in his spot. Keagan and Reid break away from each other.
"Did I interrupt something?" He says and Reid sighs.
"Every time." He mutters. "Yeah you did, Baby Boy."
"What is it, Tyler?"
"The hospital called, Pogue is being released. I thought that you guys might want to come." He says.
Keagan and Reid turn to look at each other and shrug. Hating that they were interrupted but seeing Pogue is more important than fooling around. Keagan grab her matching grey jacket and her purse and followed Tyler and Reid out the door.
