That night Reid and Taylor did a lot of making up. As the morning hours crept up Taylor slept soundlessly in Reid's arms. It was the first time she slept with out disruption in five weeks. Taylor pressed her body closer to Reid as he pulled the cover all the way up as snow began to fall outside. God it felt good to hold her again. Reid smiled as he drifted back to sleep.
Taylor was lying on her back looking up at the ceiling. She was in a dark room that resembled an old basement. Torches lined the room providing the only source of light. This place was unfamiliar to Taylor and gave her a bad feeling. Two hooded figures surrounded her. Her arm burned and she noticed a needle being pulled from her arm. She was tied down and could move. She heard banging and then the sound of a door opening. Several footsteps raced in.
"You need to tell him your suspensions. In the end it will only make things worse, and the end will be sooner then you think."
Taylor opened her eyes suddenly. Her dream was eerily familiar. It was the same voice as the other warnings. It was never a good sign when she had her dreams. She felt Reid stir beside her.
"What happened?" Reid asked noticing the worried look on Taylor's face. He pushed himself up on his elbows.
"I had another dream." Taylor answered. Without hesitation Reid pulled back the covers and stood up.
"We need to tell the others." Reid said. "Do I have any clothes here? I don't think the Harvard elite will appreciate my boxers?"
"Yeah in my closet in the box." Taylor answered as she stood out of bed pulling on her clothes.
Reid walked over to her closet and noticed all of his things packed in a box on the floor. "You packed all my stuff?"
"Yeah." Taylor answered awkwardly. "I was angry."
"I guess I deserved that." Reid shrugged pulling out a pair of jeans and a shirt.
"I wasn't going to give them back I was just angry and needed something to do." Taylor explained pulling a shirt over her head. "I think I'll call Tyler and Caleb." Taylor called the others. "OK were meeting them in Pogue and your's dorm." Ten minutes later Reid practically ran to Taylor's car seeing as he didn't have a jacket and the ground was covered with snow. Several minutes later Reid grabbed Taylor's hand and sprinted into his dorm room.
"So I take it you two made up." Sarah smiled when they entered.
"Yeah." Reid answered rubbing his cold hands together.
"So what is the reason for this meeting?" Pogue asked. Taylor told them about her dream as several angry and worried faces appeared towards her.
"Do you have any idea what it means?" Kate asked.
"Obviously danger is coming and it's coming soon." Caleb said. "So this time we need to be prepared."
"Any ideas?" Tyler asked.
"First of all the girls can't be alone. At least one of us needs to be with them at all times." Caleb said.
"What about our classes?" Kayla asked.
"Well someone needs to be with you." Caleb answered. "We can't take any chances, not this time."
"What about the elders? We have no idea where they are when their strike or what they'll do." Taylor pointed out.
"All we can do I be on guard." Tyler said.
-------
"I can't believe this." Taylor remarked. She and they others where just getting out of a movie. They thought a movie would help distract them from reality. They just walked out of the last showing of the night.
"It wasn't that bed." Tyler shrugged as he walked hand in hand with Kayla.
"It was pretty bad." Pogue agreed with Taylor.
"Thank you Pogue. That was one of the worst movies I have even seen. Reid fell asleep." Taylor pointed out.
"I was just resting my eyes." Reid smirked. He was walking next to Taylor with his arm draped over her shoulders.
"You where snoring." Sarah laughed.
"Well if the movie wasn't boring I wouldn't have fallen asleep." Reid replied. Taylor laughed resting her head on his shoulder.
"Um I'm exhausted. Can you take me back to the dorms?" Kayla said to Tyler.
"Sure." Tyler smiled.
"That sounds like a good idea." Kate agreed.
"Well I guess we're going back to school." Pogue replied.
"Yeah." Caleb agreed. "You coming?" He asked Taylor.
"Um…"
"I'll bring her back later." Reid answered.
"Are you going to stay with her tonight or is she coming up to my room?" Caleb asked.
"I'll stay with her. We won't be out long." Reid assured him.
"Ok.Just be on guard." Caleb shrugged as the others walked out to the cars. Reid held Taylor back and waited until the others left before walking out.
"What's going on?" Taylor asked.
"Well while I was being an idiot a very important date passed by." Reid smirked.
"Um, what date would that be?" Taylor asked.
"Well we've been together for one year." Reid said stopping. He turned to face her pulling her closer.
"Wow, who would have guessed Reid Garwin with one girl for over a year." Taylor smiled.
"Not just any girl." Reid pointed out. "The girl."
"The girl?" Taylor repeated.
"Yes, the girl." Reid smirked.
"I like the sound of that." Taylor smiled standing on her tippy toes to kiss him.
"I need to ask you something." Reid announced.
"Then ask." Taylor encouraged him.
"But not here." Reid smiled pulling her to the car. He drove for about ten minutes before stopping at a small park. He eagerly pulled her out of the car and led her through the snow covered ground towards the center. Once they where in the center he stopped and turn towards her.
"What's going on?" Taylor asked confused.
"God I never thought in a million years that I would be doing this." Reid breathed.
"Doing what? Standing in a park?" Taylor giggled.
"If you asked me a year ago I would have told you that I was going to be a bachelor for life." Reid rambled on.
"Reid, I'm confused." Taylor stopped him.
"Look up." Reid ordered softly. Taylor did as she was told as looked up at the star filled sky.
"It's beautiful." Taylor breathed.
"Do you remember when we where little and we all would lay under the stars at night? Reid asked.
"Yeah it was the only quite time I ever got." Taylor remembered laughing.
"The night of Pogues birthday when we where talking by the swing the sky looked just like this. I remember that was the moment I fell in love with you." Reid confessed.
"I remember that was the night we got together." Taylor smiled.
"So will you spend every night under the stars with me?" Reid asked.
"Reid." Taylor whispered.
"If we live through this fight with the elders, will you marry me?" Reid looked into her eyes and she knew that he was serious.
"But…" Taylor mumbled.
"But nothing. What ever happens I know we will make it through together." Reid replied.
Taylor looked into his eyes a moment longer. "Yes." Taylor whispered.
"Yes?"
"Yes." Taylor repeated as Reid scooped her into his arms and spun around. He pressed his lips against hers. He pulled a ring out of his pocket and placed it on her finger.
"It's gorgeous." Taylor squealed.
"It was my grandmothers. My mom gave it to me after graduation. I guess she knew I would need it."
