The next day the whole school seemed to be depressed to see Kaylum and Bella leave. Most of the girls because of Kaylum and most of the guys because Bella was fun to look at. Even the teachers seemed a little lenient on the homework that day. On the last bell one silent tear slid down Bella's cheek. She walked out the door and quickly found Piper's loving arms. Piper held her friend in a loving motherly hug like she used to when they where kids. She petted Bella's hair then pulled her way from her with a concerned look on her face. She had never seen her friend cry over a move.
"Come on Bella." Phoenix said giving her a hug and taking her away from his sister. Kaylum came up behind Piper and she slid her arm around his waist. They made their way outside to where the Sons of Ipswich waited.
Kaylum said bye to them first knowing that Bella would take the longest. He wasn't sure how They had become so close to the group but he wasn't happy about leaving either.
Bella gave Pogue a hug first. "Keep an eye on my two boys for me. Don't let them get to much out of hand."
"Will do." Pogue said with a smile.
Next she hugged Caleb. "You're an awesome friend Caleb. I just wish we could have stayed longer."
Caleb only nodded. Bella then looked at Tyler.
"I'll miss you lots Baby Boy. I'm sure you'll go down in my history as told by Kaylum. 'The first Tyler ever to meet Bella and get away with out a stitch or a broken nose."
She gave him a hug and he laughed.
"I know you'll go down in my history as told by Reid. 'hell the first girl Baby boy touched with out blushing."
Bella laughed then turned to Reid. After a moments hesitation she gave him a hug and whispered in his ear. "I love you Reid."
His grip on her tighten and she swore she felt a tear fall on her shoulder. But when she pulled away from him, he would not look at her and his eyes didn't look watery. Bella sighed and started to walk away when Reid embraced her from behind in another hug.
"I love you too, Bella." He whispered in her ear and let her go. Bella turned around, but he was already heading back to the school with the rest of the guys.
"Hey Bella, mom bought us a viper!" Kaylum said rattling car keys in front of her face, pulling her out of her shock.
"Vipers." Piper said with a smile. "Plural. Identical black 2003 vipers. She would have bought you 2006 but she thought you'd total them in revenge. And besides we needed something to drive to school in to."
"You're going to school with us?" Bella asked climbing into a car with her brother.
"Correction. You're going to school with us." Phoenix said getting into the drivers side of the other viper.
Bella sat down in her first class of the day and looked around. It just wasn't the same with out Tyler poking her with his pencil or Reid throwing paper at her. She even missed Pogue's constant drawing on her.
"Hey Bella." Piper said sitting down next to her along with an attractive guy. Kaylum grumpily sat down on the other side of her. She had a feeling Piper was the cause of her brothers bad mood. She felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket and jumped in surprise. The only people that had her number where Piper, Phoenix and Kaylum.
Baby Boy says hi. Was all the message said. She sighed. She didn't know which Ipswich guy had sent the message. She nudged her brother.
"Did you give the guys my cellphone number?" She asked.
"Only Caleb. I knew the others would be calling you 24/7 if I gave it to them." Kaylum said then looked at the number and laughed. "Apparently some one has been steeling Caleb's phone. That would be Reid."
Bella smirked and text him back. Tell Baby Boy I miss his pencil pocking already. The bell rang and Bella quickly stuck her phone back in her back pocket. She was surprised at how boring her first class was already. Her teacher sat upfront reading out of the textbook and his voice seemed to echo out of every corner of the room. Bella sighed and got her phone back out.
Where's my knight when I need him to save me from shear and utter boredom? Reid smirked down at this phone as Tyler read over his shoulder. Caleb nudged him and Reid quickly put his phone away.
"Did you steal her number from me?" Caleb asked with a smile but didn't wait for an answer he turned back to his work.
"So why did she lie to her mom anyway?" Tyler asked.
"She's in love and doesn't want Chase to hurt the guy." Reid replied. He still hadn't told the others about his and Bella's goodbye.
"You mean she's in love with you." Tyler said with a smirk.
"What the hell are you talking about." Reid asked but he was unable to keep from blushing.
"I can read lips moron." Tyler said rolling his eyes and Reid paused. He'd forgotten about that. He wondered if Tyler had read his lips as well and by the look on his best friends face, he had.
"I thought I'd never see the day those words came out of your mouth and you actually meant them." Tyler said with a shy smile. "But if you hurt her I'll have to break your nose."
"Mr. Simms would you like to tell us what is so important up there?" the teacher asked.
"Sorry sir. Reid didn't get what question six was." Tyler explained.
"I didn't assign number six." The teacher replied with a frown.
"See I told you man." Tyler said looking at Reid with a duh look Reid just simply shrugged. The class laughed. They all knew Reid never paid much attention in class. The teacher glared up at Tyler but moved on with class.
Back at school with Bella, Kaylum was trying to get out of his sister why Reid was texting her.
"Does he know?" Kaylum asked with a wink.
"Eew boy gossip let me in on this." Piper said leaning in and pushing her new guy friend away. Kaylum rolled his eyes at her.
"Does he know what?" Bella asked playing dumb.
"Um I'm guessing this has to do with Mr. Mc Hottie back on the stage. Piper said raising an eyebrow. "So is he you choice?"
"Piper I have a long time to decide that." Bella said but she couldn't hide her smile. She wouldn't mind giving herself to Reid. She could tell he was the one who could use the benefits of it. but she also didn't want them to end up like Piper and Kaylum. Piper had ascended in July and Kaylum had been her chosen guy. Now they only talked when Bella was around or when they where craving each other.
"If he is your chosen one, I'd wait till he ascends." Kaylum informed her. "Don't make our mistake."
"Or do." Piper said reaching past Bella and touching Kaylum on the shoulder. "Then you only have to see him what every two or three months."
Bella just rolled her eyes. "You two never change."
"What's the fun in change?" Piper asked with a smile. The bell rand and Piper quickly got out a set of car keys. "We have a meeting to go to."
She lead the others out the back way into the parking lot where Phoenix was already waiting for them.
"What took you so long?" He teased getting into the drivers seat of one of the vipers with Kaylum. Piper and Bella got into the other viper and they drove off. When they reached an old mansion Bella recognized it at once. It was Pipers house and by the looks of all the cars parked out front every one else was already there. As Kaylum and Bella walked down the steps to the basement some one screamed with delight.
"Oh my god Bella!" An attractive red hair girl said flinging herself at Bella. Bella looked confused. The girl looked familiar but she couldn't place it.
"Its Elma." The girl said with a smile. Bella's mouth dropped. Standing in front of her was the baby of Salem. She hadn't seen the girl since they were ten.
"Elma! Oh my God! Pooh Bear its been ages." Bella said hugging the girl again. Kaylum gave Elma a hug and the twins turned to the rest of the room. They only knew one other person. Aden who was born exactly two days before they where. He was looking about the same since they left. His dark brown hair was highlighted blond and his eyebrow piercing was healed. Bella was to blame for that. His ocean blue eyes where roaming the familiar curves of Bella's body. She gave him one of her best smiles. She was glad see that their partner in crime hadn't lost his taste in her.
"Ok Every one This is Bella and Kaylum Townser, you may know them as the Gifts of Salem and yada yada." Piper said introducing them. "Any who they've just come back from Ipswich and they have met the Sons themselves. Yes they do exist. The five Families of Ipswich are out there. Now I have been informed that one of the Sons is evil. He goes by the name of Chase Collins. I warn all of you to watch out for yourselves. Especially those girls who have not ascended or given themselves yet."
"Bella looked around the room at the six other girls. Each of them looked frightened.
Piper turned to Bella. "You're safe here. You have all of us here with you. I have ascended along with Vela, Christopher, Blair and Gram. Heather has also ascended but she has not yet given herself to anyone. We are very strong Bella. We didn't make a covenant like those of Ipswich. Our ancestors willed their powers to others before they died which made our powers stronger."
"That's what we're scared of." Kaylum said wit ha sigh. "Chase is powerful as well. He'll stop at nothing to get power. We are a much larger group than I had expected. Please just watch out for yourselves and each other."
There was a moment of silence before it was broken by Elma. "So what are the Sons of Ipswich like?"
