"Come to see the show, watch me take out the people you love."
Tyler looked over his shoulder and looked at Reid and Lena briefly. Lena's breath caught in her throat, never had she seen Tyler look so angry...Or ever angry for the matter. Reid on the other hand looked extremely calm.
Abby was on Chase's side and was just picking herself off the floor as this whole reunion of sorts happened.
"Four against one, that doesn't seem fair at all...For you that is." Chase said.
"You're one smug son of a bitch," Reid growled, all calmness suddenly out the window. Chase smirked at him.
"Reid, still being a pain in the ass to the others? I know you came in handy a few months ago, because of you, it took Caleb a lot longer to figure out it was me. I should thank you for that." Reid's eyes flashed black. Tyler looked him almost as though there was slight panic there.
"There's something different about him this time, Reid..." He said.
"Doesn't matter he's still going to die," Reid said.
"Big words coming from you," Chase said. "Let's see what you got, Garwin." That's all Reid needed to send his assault at Chase. Abby managed to get herself out of the way in time and on the other side where Lena and Tyler stood.
"Does he think before he acts?" Abby asked. Lena looked at her before raised her hands at the ceiling containing water pipes.
"It's a little too late for a plan," She said before one pipe was set free and water was pouring all over the teens. Lena took the pipe and sent it hurdling at Chase in hopes that Reid had distracted him enough to impale him with it. Unfortunately for her, he hadn't.
Chase stopped the pipe inches from his chest and at the very moment he had sent Reid soaring into an opposite wall. Chase smirked as he turned his attention to her.
"This is going to hurt, and I know someone who will take quite pleasure in seeing you die." He said as the pipe went flying at her at more speed than she thought possible. Lena managed to slow it down, but didn't get it to stop and hit her arm with enough force to cause her to lose balance and to scream out in pain.
"Lena!" Abby screamed heading to her sister's side only to be hit with an orb of magic. Tyler taking advantage of this sent his own in Chase's direction knocking him off balance for a moment. Reid at this point had made his way to Lena. The water from the pipe above making their hair stick to their faces.
"You alright?" Reid asked as he watched the blood mix with the water. Lena looked up at him her right hand clutching and currently useless left arm. She had unshed tears of pain her eyes.
"I'm fine, are you okay?" She asked quickly.
"Fine," he replied. Lena nodded as she turned around and looked at Abby not too far away from her, unmoving. "I'll check on her," Reid said following her gaze.
"No, go help, Tyler. I'll manage." She said. Reid hesitated for moment before he stood and went to help his brother. Lena on the other hand went to check on her sister.
"Alright man?" Tyler asked when Reid helped him up. Reid rolled his eyes, Tyler was always the one to worry about others even when he himself didn't look so hot.
"I should be asking you that." Reid said with a small sigh.
"Brotherly love, must you rub it in every time I visit?" Chase questioned as though annoyed.
"Perhaps if you stopped showing up you won't have to worry about that now would you?" Tyler said. Reid looked at the normally quiet boy, there had to have been something he and Lena missed before coming in to help...Not that it seemed to matter.
Chase rolled his eyes at the younger boy. Tyler and Reid allowed both their eyes to turn black as they waited for whatever the hell Chase had been planning. They brought up their hands the same moment he did in attempt to ward off what he would send their way. Instead Chase cried in pain and his head whipped in the direction of the girls.
"Here he is with his haunts, make him leave with all his taunts. Take this dark figure and fill with light, remove his evil from our sight." They both said in unison. In an instant Chase began to fade.
"You think this is going to keep me away? I've got a lot more up my sleeve than you think." Chase said before he was completely gone from their sight. There was silence amongst the teens, the only sound was that of the water still falling down on them from the pipe Lena had broken.
Silently both boys made their way to the two girls as the sat on the ground clearly exhausted from what had happened.
"Are you both alright?" Tyler asked.
"For the most part," Abby said running a shaky hand through her hair.
"I've had better days..." Lena mumbled as she cradled her left arm wincing as she did so. Reid noticed that there was no cut but wondered where the blood came from, from earlier.
"Where'd you send him?" Reid asked as he carefully looked at her arm some more. He found the gash just above her shoulder where the pipe must have grazed her before hitting the ground with a clang.
"No clue, just away from here. It's only temporary, but it's the best we could do for now." Abby answered as she looked over the cuts on Tyler's face. It was then when the door to the pool area opened and Caleb and Pogue ran in.
"Shit man..." Pogue said when they were hit with the water from above them. Lena remembering it lifted her right hand and fixed the broken pipe, stopping the water that fell on them.
"He's gone," Reid said. "for now." he added as an after thought. The two older boys made their way over to the teens sitting on the ground.
"We shouldn't talk here," Caleb said before looking at them collectively. "I think you need to go to hospital." He said noticing Lena's shoulder. She shook her head more violently then need be.
"No, no. I'm fine really." She said. Pogue knelt down beside her and Reid to look at her shoulder.
"Len, it's dislocated." He said. Lena gave him a look telling him she knew this. Her eyes glazed with unshed tears. "You can't walk around with a dislocated shoulder." he said.
"No shit," Lena said. Pogue sighed and ran a hand through his brown locks.
"Well you're not going to like what I'm about to do." Reid frowned slightly, for he knew the pain Lena was going to feel in only a few moments.
"Really Pogue is that necessary. Can't it wait until we get them to the dorms?" Reid asked. Pogue shook his head.
"She's still fighting the pain, I give her five minutes before she passes out from it." Pogue said. Lena glared at him but sighed realizing they weren't getting anywhere. "I suggest you look away," Pogue said taking her arm gently. Lena looked away as more pain surged through her body.
"Fuck! Pogue is it over?" She whined.
"He hasn't done anything Lena," Abby said. Lena felt Reid grab her right hand. Before Lena knew it she heard a loud pop and the pain double in her arm. She let out a small scream and squeezed Reid's hand so tight he was sure she crushed his fingers.
"Better?" Pogue asked. Lena looked at him her unshed tears finally falling.
"Let's just get out of here..." She said.
Careful to not be spotted the group had made it the Lena and Abby's dorm room without anyone spotting them in their disheveled states.
Abby and Lena changed before the group could actually talk about what had happened. While Tyler and Reid both had towels and the girls' blankets wrapped around them. Lena walked out of the bathroom but didn't get the chance to fall out like she wanted to.
"Come here, we have to a least put your arm in a sling." Pogue said. Lena sighed but allowed him to act like an older brother even though she was older than all of them. It was nice to be taken cared of.
"How's Kate and Sarah?" Abby asked when no one spoke.
"They're fine." Caleb said. "They're in their room." Abby let out the breath she didn't know she was holding.
"That's good, they're safe there..." She said. Caleb raised an eyebrow. "Lena made sure their room stayed completely Chase free the moment she found out about him." Abby said. Lena looked away from the conversation as is embarrassed.
"I like them too much," she explained getting up and siting next to Reid on her bed. "If anything happened to them, any of you actually...I don't think I could forgive myself." She said.
"That's a burden you shouldn't carry," Caleb said though there was complete understanding. Lena smiled sadly at him.
"No one should," she said.
"About tonight what happen?" Caleb asked turning the discussion back on track. Abby and Tyler went on to tell them walking the halls when Chase had showed up, and how they suddenly appeared in pool area. They both tensed when they got to this part.
"What is it?" Reid asked speaking for the first time when neither of them seemed willing to talk.
"Ever felt like you were going to die?" Tyler asked curiously.
"That sounds a little dramatic, Ty." Pogue said. Tyler frowned and shook his head.
"I'm serious, have you ever had that feeling that death was just around the corner?" Tyler asked again.
"I have once but..." Lena stopped talking as seemed to be remembering something; "I know someone who would take quite pleasure in seeing you die." She let it go for the time being. "Continue." she said when they all looked at her.
"I felt that tonight, I felt like it was going to end then and there. It's a terrible feeling guys. It made me angry and on edge at the same time. I don't think there's any way to describe this to you." Tyler said. Abby nodded in agreement.
"There's something different too, Tyler pointed it out to me. I guess he could feel the difference more than I could, but his flow of magic was different from the last time I encountered him. It was as though it wasn't all his." Abby said.
"Yeah, I felt that too." Reid mumbled and frowning.
"Are you saying he's stronger?" Pogue questioned. Both of them shook there heads.
"Not exactly, more like he's not alone." Tyler said. "It's like he's getting all his power from someone else."
"Like someone that we know...or at least Abby and I might know." Lena said. "He mentioned that he knew someone that would love to see me dead. And for once I don't think that person is my mother." Lena said.
"Then who?" Caleb asked. Things were getting complicated for them. It wasn't enough to say that Chase was working alone. He could be working with someone. "Is there anyone from Hartford that you two didn't get along with?"
"Well yeah, but we haven't seen them in years." Abby said.
"Them?" Reid asked.
"As in the entire family...I can't remember their names though. They were pains in our asses, the boy wasn't that bad though he was alright but his sister was another story. There was a fight between us girls and Lena pretty much handed this chick's ass to her." Abby explained.
"We were like fourteen, she left in tears swearing she's have her revenge. I can't even begin to think how bad I used on her...I was a little...Out of control then." Lena added. "I can't believe someone would be so childish as to seek revenge for something so stupid as a little fight." Lena said.
"So you don't think it's this person?" Caleb asked.
"No," The two girls said in unison. There was silence again as they all sat there thinking.
"Maybe you're not remembering every thing." Pogue suggested.
"Perhaps, but I highly doubt it." Lena said with a wave of her good arm.
"Don't leave that out of consideration," Caleb said giving her a look. Lena ignored it. She wasn't in the mood for an argument. "Is there anything else you want to share about tonight?" Caleb asked them.
"We sent Chase away, but that spell won't hold up forever. He'll be back." Abby said with a sigh. Caleb ran a hand down his face as he stood up.
"You four get some sleep tonight, it's late. Pogue and I will go check in on Sarah and Kate." He said. The four he addressed nodded and as he opened the door to leave. Pogue got up as well and nodded his goodbye to them just as he closed the door. The four left alone sat in silence for a few moments many thoughts running through their minds.
"You guys want to crash here?" Abby asked after awhile.
"Wasn't planning on leaving," Tyler said more to himself than to them. Lena could still see Tyler's discomfort and the need to protect to people he cared about, especially Abby. She was glad he cared so much about her.
"You staying?" Lena asked the usually quiet boy beside her.
"If you want me to," he mumbled. Lena's eye flashed and clothes landed on the bed in front of him. He looked at her out the corner of his eye. "Couldn't have just said yes?" Reid asked.
"Just go change," Lena said. Reid rolled his eyes as he threw off the covers and headed into the bathroom pushing Tyler out the way the last second. Tyler growled at the door before sitting back on the bed with Abby.
Both boys finally changed and had made themselves comfortable one of the girls' beds. Abby and Tyler laid quietly as Abby ran her finger through Tyler's hair. They didn't need to talk it was though there was some silent understanding.
"How's your arm?" Reid asked as Lena laid down next to him.
"Still hurts..." She said. "How's your back? I can tell it's bothering you." She said. Reid closed his eyes for moment before he looked at her again.
"It's fine, not like I haven't been thrown against a wall before." Lena sighed. "You're extremely uncomfortable." Reid stated when Lena laid there staring at the ceiling. Reid sat up and lifted her head to rest on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her in away to avoid her arm. Immediately he felt her relax and snuggle into his warmth. "Better?" He questioned.
"Much," she said. "This was one hell of a dance," she said after awhile.
"Yeah," He said. "But now let's get some sleep, okay." He said. He felt her nod and it wasn't long until her breathing evened out. He listened to the soft murmurs behind him from Abby and Tyler and Lena's soft breathing, before he too fell asleep with thoughts of how he wanted nothing more than to kill Chase Collins and live a relatively normal life. Well as normal as they got for someone like him.
Well that's the end of that chapter. I hope you liked it!
