Chapter Nine

When she landed back in Boston, she was Reid and jumped in his arms. She was shaking.

"Bella… what's wrong?" He asked.

"Can we just go?" She said softly in his ear.

"Yeah." He said.

He grabbed her luggage and they left back to the dorms. They were sitting there on her bed. She was facing the window looking out.

"I've missed you Bella." He said.

"I missed you too Reid." She said and started crying.

He tried to touch her, but she flinched. He said "Bella… what's wrong?"

She broke down even more and said "He'll come after me… he'll find me!"

"Babe… you are scaring me… who is coming after you?" Reid was worried.

"Ben. Four months ago, I was at this party. Ben was grabbing me, ripping my clothes off… then he… he…" She couldn't even finish the sentence, but Reid knew what she was trying to say.

Reid scooted carefully next to her and said " Bella.. Look at me."

She looked up at him, he wiped her tears away, and said "Bella… I promise to all that is holy… that will never happen again. I will not let anything happen to my girl.. Not if I can help it and plus you have family here that got your back. Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, and the girls really care about you."

Carly nodded. Later on she had calmed down. She let Reid hold her til she fell asleep. He was just gonna sit there watching her sleep, making sure she was okay.

Reid grabbed his cell phone and texted Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler "Hey guys. Meeting. know where."

Reid managed to slip out without Carly noticing. He didn't want to leave her, but it wouldn't be that long. He took Carly's car out to Caleb's colony house. He went downstairs into the place where they held all their "Meetings."

Reid sat in his seat and Caleb said "Okay… Reid what was so important that we had to jump out of bed for?"

"It's about Carly." Reid said.

"What's wrong with her?" Tyler asked.

"Well… She got back from California a few days early. Something happened to her before she moved here. From what she was telling me… from what I understood from her crying. She told me that a guy named Ben… I think raped her. Carly saw him at her mom's funeral and he was telling her that he was coming after her. Also, before she went back to California… she told me she had a bad dream and she thought she saw someone in the room with her… I just don't know what is going on." Reid said putting his hands to his face.

"We'll have to keep her safe. Did she say when he's coming for her?" Caleb asked.

"No… she just said that he was." Reid said.

"Okay find out what he looks like." Caleb said.

"Okay…. I just want her to be safe." Reid said.

"We all do… We all promised Jack we would." Pogue said.

"She has been through so much… first her dad. Then her mom. Now this shit from a crazy psycho." Reid said.

"Wait… isn't weird that both her parents died caused from car accidents… Its just too weird to be a coincidence. Guys, something is up." Tyler said.

"Someone's been using… a lot. Have you been using Reid?" Caleb asked.

"No… I've mostly been with Bella… okay I did once." Reid said.

"In front of her?" Caleb said.

"No… I'm not that stupid." Reid said.

"Reid nobody can find out about our powers." Caleb said.

Tyler was sitting there wanting to say something, but he didn't.

"Chill… nobody will geez." Reid said.

After that the guys went back to their places and went to sleep.

Reid, Caleb, Tyler, and Pogue had a secret. They are the descendants of warlocks. They're the 4 out of the 5 families that left Europe and France to America settling in Ipswich in the 1600's to avoid the brutal witch hunts. They say the 5th family got killed off during the Salem Witch Hunts. But for 300 years the remaining families formed a coven of silence to keep them safe. All around town the boys are known as "The Son's of Ipswich" Caleb is always getting on Reid about using his powers all the time.

If they use way too much the power wears done the body and it ages them rapidly. Reid did use that one time with the ring. He materialized his mother's ring from her jewelry box to his pocket. But ever since he's been around Carly, he hasn't used as much.
