The Ancient Power

Chapter Nine: Toxic

~ {Regular Point of View} ~

Sarah brushed her softly, staring into her mirror. She set the white brush on the wooden desk then, picked up her lip gloss. Her lips parted and the lip gloss turned her pale pink lips to a glossy pink. Someone knocked on her door and when she opened it, warm brown eyes met her blue ones. She smiled up at her boyfriend warmly then, wrapped her arms around his neck. He kissed her softly on her lips and she released him. He smiled her one of his "golden" smiles.

"Good Morning, Caleb." She said to him, sweetly.

"Morning." He told her, still staring at her.

Bare feet slapped against the cold floors of Spenser. Caleb and Sarah looked behind them to see a girl with dark hair wearing a button down shirt that was way too big for her. She was holding herself while she ran to her room.

"Hey, Kitty!" Caleb yelled to her loudly. She jumped from his voice then, waved nervously. Leah scurried over to her brother and Sarah quickly. She frantically hugged her brother and Sarah then, tried to walk away. "Morning, guys. Bye guys." She said, pushing them away.

"Hold on, Kitty." he said, laughing.

Damn, she muttered to herself. "Yes, Caleb?"

He raised the long sleeve hanging off her arm. She blushed at her brother then, pulled her arm away. "Is this Baby Boy's?" he asked.

She shook her head yes. "Noooo….yes, it is."

"You are just getting back?" Sarah asked.

"I wanted my latte and pancakes." Leah said.

Caleb glanced down at his watch. "You have thirty minutes."

"Okay, Dad."

Caleb winced at the word, but laughed to hide his pain. "Sure, no get your butt to your room."

"Kiss my ass, Caleb." She said, walking away.

"That's not my job." He said.

Sarah slapped him across his chest and he pretended to be hurt. "Let's get to class."

~{Back with Leah}~

Leah pushed open her door and shrugged off Tyler's shirt quickly. After it was off, she began to slide her school skirt on and she buttoned up her school blouse. She went into the bathroom to brush and floss her teeth. While she brushed, she was thinking of Tyler. She wasn't obsessed with him; he was just in her thoughts. She spit in the sink, wiped her mouth, and smiled into the mirror. Her fingers ran through her curly brown locks then, patted it down. She slid a white headband on top of her head then, started to walk to class. The halls were empty and there was no sound. Suddenly, footsteps were behind her. She walked faster and the footsteps mimicked her. She revolved around on her heels to look into the eyes of her follower.

"Hi, Rick. What are you doing here?" she asked him, staring into his striking blue eyes that reminded her of Tyler.

He flashed a wide smile. "Well, trying to get to class like you."

She rolled her eyes at him while raising an eyebrow at him. "Really, because I think you are stalking me."

He shrugged his shoulders. "You figured me out."

Leah laughed at him softly, dropping her bag. "Careful, I might just call my brother or the cops."

He laughed her joke then, held out his hand. "What?" she asked.

"I can carry that for you." He offered.

She smiled at him, revealing her pearly whites. "Thanks, but I can hold it. I'm a strong girl," she said, flexing her muscles. Rick squeezed her arm and felt her muscles. "Yes, you are. But, I want to be a nice guy."

Leah chuckled a bit. "Okay, sure."

He grabbed her bag and slung it over his broad shoulder. Leah hadn't realized how strongly built he was. He was about Caleb's size, but Rick's skin was lighter than his. Her bag pulled back his blue jacket, revealing a mark on his arm. Leah stared at him intently, studying the strange mark. He felt her gaze on him and smiled warmly at her. "Something wrong?" he asked, concerned.

She reached to grab his sleeve and pulled it down to her. After it was fully pulled back, she rubbed the mark on his arm. "What happened? It looked like you were burned by fire."

He inhaled softly then, stopped walking. "My parents were killed in a fire when I was young. I managed to survive, but this mark is all I have left."

"Oh God, I'm so sorry." She said, holding her chest.

He smiled warmly at me. "No big deal. They are in a great place now."

"Who started the fire?"

"Four boys." He told me. (A/N: Hmmmm? Four boys?")

"Oh, well, we should get to class." She said.

Once they reached the doorway, Leah took her bag from Rick. "Thanks, again." She said.

He shifted his weight from his right foot to his left. "Can we sit together?" he asked, nervously.

Leah blushed slightly. "Um…," she began before she was caught off by a familiar voice.

"No, she is sitting next to my best friend." Reid said, slinging his arm over her slender shoulder.

Leah looked into Reid's blue eyes, surprised. She noticed his eyes looked puffy and red. He must've been sleeping in a gutter or something. Reid smiled at her smugly, trying to hide his drowsiness.

"Let's go, Kit." He said, dragging her into the room.

"Okay, bye, Rick!" she called.

He waved at her then, Rick jogged after her. "Hey, Garwin!"

Reid turned around to face the guy who was trying to flirt with Leah. "Yes, Ashton." he said, putting emphasis on Rick's last name.

"She can do what she wants you know." He said, grabbing Leah's arm.

"Rick, for the last time. I have a boyfriend, but we can be-," she said before getting cut off again.

"Friends? Ha, no. I love you, Leah. You are the most beautiful and smartest girl I ever met." Rick said.

Leah felt like falling over. Why does everyone like me? Maybe I should be a hobo. Nobody likes them. Ha,ha, hobo is funny.

"Sorry, Rick. I don't feel the same way."

"Dude, you are so pathetic."

Rick's eyes were filed with anger as he walked away. He exited the room hastily, almost running into a student. Leah sighed then, returned her gaze to Reid.

"Where have you been, Rock boy?" she asked, climbing the stairs that led to desks.

He followed right behind her. "I'm still sleeping over at my parents until I get myself together

Leah plopped into her usual seat- between Caleb and Pogue. "I'll talk to you later." He said, sitting next to Tyler.

Leah blew a few kisses at Tyler then, turned her attention on her brother. She kissed his and Pogue's cheek quickly. Caleb rubbed her head, disheveling her curly brown locks. "Dude, seriously?" she shrieked.

He just laughed at her, pulling out a notepad and pen. "What is up with you and Rick?"

She blushed deeply at Caleb's question then, looked away. "Nothing at all."

By luck, Mr. Banner walked into the classroom with a book in hand. "Morning class, today we are going to talk about Dream Catcher by Stephen King. "

The class erupted in "boos" and "borings". Mr. Banner ignored them and looked around the class. "Miss Danvers, Miss Snider, Mister Simms, and Mister Abbot, please hand out these quizzes."

Leah rolled her eyes as she got up from her seat and began heading down the flight of stairs. Once she reached the bottom, Tyler kissed her cheek quickly. She blushed with a smile on her face then, looked back at Mr. Banner. He handed her some of the quizzes and she started to pass them out. When she was about to set the last quiz down, Rick brushed back her hair.

"We need to talk after class."

Leah spun around quickly and when she looked behind her, nothing was there. She let a little air escape her lips then, got back to handing out the papers. That was way past weird. Her dark hair clouded her vision as she made her way up the stairs.

"You okay?" Pogue asked her.

She snapped out of her trance then, smiled sheepishly at Pogue. "Yeah, I'm cool."

* * * * * Break * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tyler squeezed Leah's hand before they had to part ways. His hand rubbed her soft, creamy cheek. "We have to part now?"

Leah laughed at his childish, yet romantic reaction. Her hazel eyes met his sparkling blue ones then, she looked away to the blue water. It shimmered with every second she looked at it. Tyler looked at her with a confused, concerned look on his perfect face. He brushed back her wet hair then, pressed his lips to her forehead. She smiled from the soft, tender feeling it left on her skin. Tyler had to be the sweetest boyfriend she will ever have. A vision suddenly flashed across her eyes. Her eyes were now as black as the night. Tyler grabbed her shoulders before she could tumble to the ground. His footing slipped and the two plummeted into the cold waters of the pool. Tyler wrapped his strong arms around her as they fell. The water enclosed around them as they hit the bottom. Leah's head hit the hard bottom of the pool and water filled her mouth. Tyler swam to the top as fast as he could. Leah was still unconscious and her hazel eyes were clouded by darkness. Tyler laid her carefully on the floor then, pressed his head against her chest. She wasn't breathing. Tyler started to panic inside. He held her chin up and pinched her nose. His air entered her mouth and went straight for her lungs. Nothing happened. He pumped her chest and after he did, water spouted from her lips. She blinked uncontrollably and searched for Tyler's bright blue eyes. Once she found them, she smiled weakly. "Hi," she breathed.

He crushed her in his arms and his bare chest radiated warmth against her wet shirt. "I thought I lost you. What happened?"

Her eyes reverted to her warm hazel color. "I had a vision."

He raised his eyebrows at her. "A vision?"

She sat up in his arms. "Yes, of a little boy and a little girl."

"Really?" he asked.

She nodded. "The boy had your eyes, Tyler."

Tyler hugged her tighter then, kissed his cheek. "We can talk about it tonight. Right now, you need to meet up with Sarah and Kate."

"Right. I'll go change into my second uniform. See you, Tyler!" she said, running towards the exit.

He waved at her then, dived into the pool. After he resurfaced, he thought about what Leah had told him.

I had a vision of a little boy and a little girl. The boy had your eyes.

Once he realized what she was trying to say, astounded him. "Could it mean he was my son?"

He jumped out of the water in excitement. Yes!

Leah, Sarah, and Kate flipped through the book together. Sarah froze when she spotted the same page she spotted a few weeks ago. Sarah pointed at the picture of a spider with a look of disgust on her face. "That's the spell."

Leah's eyes widened. "Chase was this powerful? You have to be strong to summon the Creation spell."

Kate and Sarah nodded solemnly. "Yes, he could have killed us right then and there." Kate said. "I can't believe the bastard put me in the hospital."

"At least he is dead and gone for good." Leah sad, relieved she wasn't here to face him. He probably would have used her to wipe out her brothers and reverse the aging process on the Sons or maybe just himself. Leah shut the book and after she looked up, something startled her. She screamed loudly and fell out her chair. Her whole body was trembling.

"Someone sent me a darkling." She said, shaking.

The book opened and the pages were flipping like crazy. When Kate and Sarah were able to read it, they gasped. "What?" Leah asked, nervously.

"Did you know there was a warlock that was powerful enough to kill us and the Sons. It says he can put someone in a coma or just kill them. He lives on Power and will stop at nothing to get it." Kate said, looking up to look at us.

Leah walked over to her and stared at the page. "What day does he get most of his power?"

Sarah flipped the page. "September 10."

"Right after Caleb's birthday." Leah whispered to herself.

Kate slammed the book shut then, slipped it back where she found it. "Okay, history lesson is over."

Sarah let out a little laugh. "If that warlock is alive now then, we are screwed."

Leah frowned at Sarah. "Be more positive."

Sarah put a big smiled on her face. "We will definitely live if this guy tries to kill us."

Leah clapped softly. "Very good."

"Boo!" someone shouted behind them.

They spun around quickly, hitting each other with their hair. Leah pushed her hair behind her ear then, saw that it was Caleb, Pogue, and Reid. Caleb wrapped his arm around his sister and wrapped his other around Sarah. He kissed Leah's cheek, leaving her with a smile on her face. He craned his neck to the side and kissed Sarah on her peach lips.

"My girls." He said, laughing.

Leah shifted uncomfortably out of Caleb's hold then, set her hands on her hips. "Are you drunk, brother?"

He pulled Leah into his arms again and slung her over his shoulder. "Just maybe, little sis."

After he set her to the ground, she bumped fists with Reid. He smiled at her with that devilish look then, hugged her. "Can't get off that easy. But, I have one question for ya."

She pulled back from his hold and looked at him with a perplexed look. "What is it?"

"Have you…," he said, making hand and facial gestures, "with Baby Boy yet?"

She had a disgusted look on her face as she pushed out of his arms. Pogue and Caleb were trying hard not to laugh at Leah's reaction. She crossed her arms and looked away. "No, I haven't. Not until I find that we are ready. I want that day to be special." She said, like a little child. Even though kids don't talk about this stuff. Pogue hugged Leah, shaking her. "Come on Kitty."

She gathered her things then, stormed off. "You guys are cruel."

She walked out the door and ran into a solid object. She looked up and saw a guy who looked about twenty-five or so. His golden hair flowed to his ears. His hair was about Pogue's length and he had the most beautiful green eyes. Leah was completely entranced by his beauty.

Snap out of it, Lee! Why can't I? What is this guy?

The mystery man helped her up from the ground and he couldn't keep his eyes off of her.

"Hello, my name is Mr. Angelino." He said in a sexy, seductive voice. Leah trembled as he spoke. The strange feeling of lust came over her. Why did she feel like this?

"My name is Leah. Leah Danvers." She said, surprised she got her name out.

He shook her small hand then, flashed a dreamy smile. "From what I've read, you have a pretty high GPA and just like your brother and father, you have been accepted to many different colleges. "

She clapped. "You sure can Google." She joked.

He laughed shortly. "Well, the provost informed me of all the top students so far."

"You are my new teacher?" she asked, confused.

"Yes, I am taking over Mr. Banner's class. " he said, checking his files and papers.

"Did something happen to him?" she asked, full of concern.

He looked surprised from her reaction. "He is just taking a cruise."

She sighed in relief. "Thank goodness."

He smiled at her one more time. "I have to get my class planned out. I hope to see you soon."

"Okay." She said as he was leaving.

Leah fell onto Tyler's bed and anxiously waited for him to arrive. He was an hour late and she was worried. Her hair was wet from her shower, dripping water onto her lap. The clear liquid streamed down her hand as she watched it intently. She heard the key slide into the brass keyhole and the turning of the locks inside. The door swung open and Tyler was reading a book of paper. Leah jumped up from her seat and looked at Tyler angrily. Her foot was rapidly tapping the floor as she watched him. His eyes were filled with fear now. Why did she look so angry, he asked himself. He set his keys on the table aside of him and set the papers next to the keys. A smile spread across his lips and he tried to wrap his arms around his girlfriend. She slapped his hands away with an angry look still on her face. He tried to kiss her, but she turned her head away.

"Tyler, we need to talk." She said, sternly.

He loosened his tie and wrapped his fingers around it. The temperature in the room felt warmer. Is she going to break up with me? He asked himself. Tyler hit the ground hard.

"Tyler!" she screamed. She dropped to the ground and began to rub his cheeks. "Ty, baby, are you okay?" she asked.

His eyes began to open lazily. "Lee?"

She nodded, moving a stray hair from her face. "Dude, what happened?" she asked, laughing.

"I thought you were going to dump me." He said, shakily.

Leah laughed hysterically at her boyfriend and held her chest because she was laughing so hard. "What's so funny?" he asked her, sitting up.

She crushed her lips to his. His body stiffened from her sudden embrace. After a few seconds into the kiss, he gave in. He kissed her harder, snaking his arm around her waist, pulling her body closer into his. Leah's hands were around Tyler's neck and she began to tug at his jacket. The jacket fell to their feet then, Tyler started to undo Leah's buttons. Next minute they knew, Leah and Tyler were snuggling on Tyler's bed watching High School Musical. She was wearing Tyler's V-neck shirt and he was shirtless. They didn't go past the part with them kissing. They both had agreed to wait a little bit longer. Tyler's arms were wrapped around Leah's bare waist. Leah was practically staring at the screen.

"You must like this movie, babe." He said, laughing.

She silenced him then, looked back at the screen. "I think Troy is the sweetest." She purred.

They were at the part where they pick Gabriella and Troy to sing.

"Living in my own world," Tyler began to sing against her ear. Leah looked back at him and smiled. "Didn't understand. That anything can happen. When you take a chance."

Leah blushed. "I never believed in, what I couldn't see. I never opened my heart (ooh). To all the possibilities (ooh). I know that something has changed. Never felt this way and right here tonight…"

They looked into each other's eyes, smiled, and began to sing together:

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new

After it was over, they kissed again. "I really do love you, Lee," He whispered in her ear.

She kissed him on his nose. "I love you, too."

"Can we talk about this little boy and girl?" he asked her.

She smiled. "Sure. The boy reminded me so much of you and the girl reminded me of both of us."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" he asked her.

"You really think they are our kids. I didn't think we were getting married."

"I wouldn't say that." Tyler said, nipping her neck. She giggled from his touch.

"Tyler, you are so sweet." She mused, squeezing his hand.

He rubbed her stomach. "I know."

"I'm not pregnant, yet." She shrieked her voice cracking.

Tyler laughed as she threw a pillow at him. Leah tackled him to the ground and straddled his waist. She threw her hands in the air. "Yes, I won!"

"Yes you did. Now, claim your prize." He said, bringing her closer to him. He kissed her softly and sweetly.

Leah felt something on her neck. When she looked down, she saw Tyler's necklace there. She smiled then, hugged Tyler. "I love it."

"It is a early proposal." He said, shrugging.

"Well, I accept."

Tyler rubbed her wrist with the tattoo. "And we will be together without any problems."

"I hope so."

"We know so."

"Don't forget what I read and the darkling I saw."

"Worry about that another time."

He kissed her soft lips again. "Okay."

Chapter Nine End. I hope you enjoyed more Tyler/Leah moments. If you want me to write a chapter with Leah and another character (Reid, Rick, or the new Mystery Guy) please tell me so. Next Chapter will have her spend time with Caleb at their mother's house. This chapter is probably my longest. It is this long because I haven't updated in awhile and I had so many ideas.^-^ Please Read and Review my story.
