A/N- Hello again! I know it's been a long time, but life just got really busy. So here's the next chapter! I would love it if I got some reviews for this chapter since the last one didn't get any…
"Hey Lucy, are you ready to start heading over to Benny's?" Dena asked.
"Ya, I just need to finish my make up." Lucy said. One of the RA's had figured out that the four had switched rooms and forced them to switch back. They had tried to just use each others room, but the RA's were always checking on them. "Are we meeting the guys there?"
"Ya, they had another meeting." Dena said.
"They're worried about your teacher. I mean he hasn't contacted you in a while so he might be planning something."
"I know… let's just hope we can find him before he does something." Dena said. Lucy put her make up away and grabbed her purse. "Finally…" The two girls locked their room as they headed out. Dena was wearing a short jean skirt with a blue wife beater. The necklace Lucy had given her hung around her neck as diamond stud earrings glinted behind her hair. Lucy had on a blue halter dress that had beads around the neck.
The walk was filled with light gossip about certain people and teachers the two girls had come to know. They passed the alley that Jason and his friends had been in the night they jumped Dena and Reid. Dena eyed the shadows carefully watching for any movement. "You're still worried about Jason?" Lucy asked.
"Ya, even though their parents are dating Reid and Jason don't get along." Dena said.
"Well, I don't blame you. Let's hurry; we're still a few blocks away." Lucy said. Dena nodded before she quickened her pace.
oOoOo
"Hey Sarah, hey Kate." Tyler said as he walked over to the table they were holding.
"Hey, where are the others?" Sarah asked.
"Getting food and drinks." Tyler explained. "And I think Reid's looking for someone to play against. I thought Lucy and Dena would be here by now."
"They'll probably be here any minute." Kate said with a shrug.
"Who will be?" Caleb asked as he set down a few plates of food.
"Dena and Lucy." Sarah answered. She grabbed a few fries off of Caleb's plate and smiled up at him.
Reid and Tyler found a few people to play and get some money from as they waited for their girlfriends to show up. Caleb and Pogue had taken their girls over to the dance floor and were dancing the current slow song. It had been about a half hour since the guys had arrived and they had gotten here almost 45 minutes later than planned. Even as they played they were passing worried glances to each other and to the door. Reid's phone rang on one of their breaks and he couldn't open it fast enough when he saw Dena's name flash across the sliver of a screen.
"Hey, where are you? We're worried-"
"Worried about your precious hunter, witch?" A voice asked.
"Teacher?" Reid gulped. Tyler instantly straightened up when he heard the word fall out of Reid's mouth.
"I have Dena Winters as well as her friend." The teacher said.
"Lucy's not a part of this." Reid growled. "And how do I know if you're telling the truth?"
"Would you like me to send the diamond earrings adorning Dena's ears to your room? Maybe her whole ear?" The man on the other side of the line laughed as Reid grounded his teeth. "You're wrong about the friend. She is involved because she knows your secret as well as Dena's."
"You better not hurt them." Reid said. He turned around as his eyes turned black from anger.
"They won't be hurt yet. I want to finish my hunter's job in front of her. Just wait for my next call. You'll get the rest of your instructions then." With that he hung up, leaving Reid angry and worried.
"Was that him?" Tyler asked. Reid nodded and ran his hands through his hair. He explained everything the Teacher had told him, making Tyler's mood drop to his level.
"I have to get back to my room. I need to… I need to get some sleep… this is not happening…" Reid muttered. He pushed past Tyler and walked to the door. He was stopped by Caleb and Pogue before he was able to get out, but no words were needed for them to know something was wrong.
"We'll take you home since we have the cars." Caleb said.
"I'll go get the girls." Pogue said.
"Have someone with them at all times." Tyler said as he joined the group.
"What are you talking about?" Pogue asked. He remembered the last time Kate had been involved with magic issues and already anger was bristling under his skin.
"He said Lucy was taken because she knows about us and about Dena." Tyler explained.
"Alright, I'll drive these two home. Pogue, take the girls back to the dorms, but stay with them." Caleb said. Pogue nodded and left to get the girls. When he returned Caleb gave him his keys to the mustang as he took the keys from Tyler.
Caleb followed Reid and Tyler back to their room to make sure neither of them did anything unexpected. While it was in Reid's nature so Caleb was always expecting something from him, but Tyler was the rogue. He wasn't known to do anything out of character, but pressed into an issue such as this one he wasn't sure how Tyler would react.
