To help with a bit of confusion with the last chapter, while Reid was trying to call Nina when she was with Sarah, Tyler told Caleb about his dream/suspicions from a few chapters back. When Caleb saw how Nina knew Chase's name and seemed to relax when he appeared, he figured out the secret. I also just made a new music video for The Covenant, the link for my YouTube page is on my profile.
Chapter 11 – Control
Nina
The four boys froze as they watched the fifth son step into the light coming from the small light fixture above the back door of the bar.
The group was silent, everyone waiting for someone to say something, or worse, make a threatening move towards someone on either side of the invisible line separating us.
I looked over at Chase who was glaring at Caleb, his eyes filled with hatred, his fists clenched at his side. Tyler and Pogue flanked behind Caleb, both donning a calm expression like they knew from the beginning that something was up.
"You're supposed to be dead" Caleb snarled in Chase's direction. Reid looked back at me, I dropped my eyes to the ground thinking of what the chances of at least one of us getting out of here alive were.
"Supposed to be" Chase let the words slip off his tongue," but I'm not, thanks to my beautiful little sister cowering away behind Garwin over there."
"What?" Reid spun around glaring at me with anger flashing through his blue eyes.
"You see she was there that night" Chase began" she waited for everyone to leave Putnam barn, then resurrected me from the very ashes. She's done me well you know, seeing she's the first female of all the bloodline's to have the power. I guess none of the elders ever considered what would happen if twins were born."
Three pairs of eyes snapped in my direction as I stared at my brother with hatred, but also a hint of comfort he was going to get the revenge for our bloodline after all, even if it took another resurrection, we'd get revenge. Whether they liked it or not. Reid looked confused, frustrated and angry he took a few steps back so that he was standing next Caleb. I growled under my breath in frustration, while Chase moved to stand beside me, I glared at him, and he laughed.
"It's not possible" Caleb said calmly, his eyes drifting between the back door and Chase and I.
"You wanna bet?" I snarled at the older boy.
With a flick of my wrist I made the light above the four explode, my eyes flashing dangerously, they jumped out of the way of the falling glass and sparks.
"Caleb her eyes," Pogue hissed with an arm over his head, protecting it.
"I can see that" he spoke sharply making the other boy flinch.
"Let's not do this here" Tyler said timidly from beside Reid who was red with anger. I looked at Chase, his eyes were only for Caleb. I sighed taking his hand and giving it a small tug in the direction of the parking lot. He shook me off and lunged at Caleb, so they were nose to nose.
"10 o'clock, Cross Marblehead" he snarled," If you don't show up you'll suffer the consequences."
He pulled away grabbing me by the arm, walking swiftly to my jeep, he sent glances over his shoulder in the direction of the bar. I sighed opening the passenger's door and sliding in, slamming it behind me. Chase, not bothering to put the key in the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot, tires screeching against the wet pavement, lights flashing past me, turning into blurs. We sped to the outskirts of Ipswich, I felt sick to my stomach, like I was going to throw up. I laid my head against the cool window as the vehicle slowed down in front of the house.
"You okay?" his voice seemed distant, I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, fine" I whispered" It just feels weird for them to know."
"He'd be proud you know" he spoke slowly, referring to our father," he'd be proud to know that we were getting the revenge we deserved for our bloodline, for our family."
"I know." I whispered quietly turning away.
The rest of the drive to Marblehead was silent, except for the occasional sound of Chase changing gears on the jeep. The wind blew the falling snow around the vehicle making it impossible to see the road clearly. The tires slid on the icy road, the lights off the small town speed past as we drove farther away from Ipswich and further out to the Dells. It was darker then it had been in the pictures Sarah had showed me, filled with emptiness, and a hallow feeling. My eyes scanned the darkened, shallow beach looking for the shadows of the four other boys. I pushed open the door and stepped out onto the sandy ground casting another glance around, the empty, dark beach.
I pulled out my cell phone and checked the time.
"9:58" I said looking over at my brother who was leaning against the passenger's side door, his arms crossed over his chest, his blue eyes studying my face.
"You okay with this?" he asked, cracking his neck, tipping his head from side to side. I turned to look at my twin, whose face held a smirk of amusement across his handsome face. I frowned turning away from him and walking down the small slope to stand in front of a pile of charred wood. I let my eyes flash black as the flames leapt around the already charred wood.
OOO
Reid
"I just can't believe it."
I watched Sarah cry softly into Caleb's shoulder as he told her what had happened behind Nicky's.
"Neither can I" he sighed," she hid it so well, well…other than going to Tyler in his dream."
I threw a glance in Baby Boy's direction where his faced had paled, Pogue was standing by the pool table with Kate trying to comfort her about the story how Nina had broken it off with Reid, Sarah pulled away from the comforting shoulder of Caleb, and looked at me with a concerned stare.
"Reid are you going to be okay?" she whispered, reaching out and touching my arm in a comforting way. I nodded feeling it was the only thing I could do, I sighed sparing a glance at the clock, 9:58.
"We should go." I spoke sharply motioning to the clock. Caleb nodded kissing Sarah goodbye, telling her to stay with Kate at all times, in plain view of everyone. I frowned seeing the way they looked at each other, it was exactly how she used to look at me, but it was all a lie. Everything she had ever said to me had been a lie.
OOO
Nina
"There not coming!" Chase hissed from beside the jeep, I sighed pushing my hair out of my face and pulling my jacket tighter around my small, shivering frame. Chase walked down the hill and stood beside me and glared into the dancing flames. I looked over at my twin with the same piercing blue eyes, pale complexion and dark hair.
"Just wait." I whispered casting a glance over my shoulder at the dirt road leading from the town. All was silent except for the crackle of the dying fire and Chase's heavy breathing coming out in white puffs in the cold December air.
I sighed turning back around. I heard tires screeching, and light split the darkness of the small beach. Chase smirked over at me before turning around to look at the black Hummer sitting on the upper ledge, the lights turned off and doors open, slamming shut as the four boys walked to the front of the Hummer. Caleb in the front, Pogue and Reid flanking the sides and Tyler trailing in along behind.
"Boys." Chase greeted. I kept my back turned not daring to look Reid in the face, or the eye. I already knew the look that would be there, betrayal and hate.
"Chase." Caleb said coolly stopping a few feet away from him.
"I'll make you an offer, you let my sister leave Ipswich without a problem, we'll fight it out and see what happens. And if I win all four all of your powers are mine" he offered the four other 'Sons'.
"Why should she go free?" Reid barked at him," She's just as bad as you." I felt my fists clench at my sides but remained with my back to them glaring into the flames; the venom in his voice was unbearable.
"Because she has nothing to do with us."
"Sure she do…" Caleb cut Reid off with a look that meant 'Shut up'.
"Fine." Caleb snapped, casting a cold glance in my direction.
"Nina go!" Chase commanded giving me a push in the direction of my jeep. I grabbed onto his arm bringing his face close to mine, looking him in the eye.
"I'm not leaving without you."
He leaned in close to my face his breath hot on my neck. "Think about what you're doing." he whispered in a warning tone.
"Why don't you?" I snapped. Hatred filled his eyes when he glanced in the direction of the four boys standing a few feet away from us, but softened when he looked back at me.
"Nina please." he whispered casting a glance in the direction of the others.
"Chase!" I hissed glaring him straight in the eye.
Then I walked away.
OOO
