ChelsieMarie- Yeah Aden is a jerk. But he does have his good moments you'll see later on!
Niffer01- Yep Bella pulled out Aden's nipple ring. She had also pulled out his eyebrow ring but that was before this story took place. I did mention it a couple of times. Aden is a jerk yes but he has a reason for being in the story.
Fodocat- yeah I thought about that too. But Bella took care of Aden before Reid could even do anything about it. I'm glad you like it any way though!
MagykGurl- Thanks again for the Review!

Caitlin- thanks for the Review! I updated as soon as I could. This chapter is going to be a little longer than most so I hope enjoy!
During the meet Bella made sure to stay far away from Aden as she could. The first swim was with Pogue and Phoenix. (There where others two but they don't count) It was a good race but Pogue won.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Pogo, happy birthday to you!" The Daughters of Salem sang when he came up and learned that he won. Pogue looked over at Bella and laughed he knew it was all her doing.
"Gee thanks girls make me feel all loved in side. Not tell me I did a good job but sing to my opponent." Phoenix said sitting down on the side pretending to pout. The girls all gave him a hug and he smiled once again.
The next race Tyler was in but none of the Sons of Salem swam against him.
The race with Reid in was against Christopher. It was a good race and Reid won it by a long shot. When he got out of the water, he winked over at Bella and she smiled.
When the freestyle came up Caleb raced against Kaylum and Aden. Kaylum raced his best but knew he was still going to loose. And that is exactly how it came out. Caleb got first Kaylum got second and Aden got fourth behind another Spencer kid.
"Good swim. You had me worried there for a while." Caleb said and did the Sons of Ipswich hand shake with Kaylum. Kaylum smiled and turned to the others.
"Wow he just let you become one of us." Pogue said with a smile. "What are you all doing tonight after the meet?"
"We have to ride back on the bus." Bella said glaring over at Aden knowing she would end up having to sit with him again.
"Not necessarily." Elma said listening into the conversation. Bella turned to her in surprise. Elma was never up for breaking rules unless Bella or Aden pushed her a little. Elma smiled back at her. "I have and aunt that lives here. I'm sure she could let us stay at her house."
"Elma have I ever told you that I love you?" Bella asked giving the girl a hug. Elma smiled and walked off to go use her phone.
"So if Baby girl hooks us up do you want to go to Nickys?" Pogue asked with a smile.
"Whats Nickys?" Piper asked as she wobbled over to the group.
"Piper are you drunk?" Kaylum asked grabbing her around the waist and helping her stand. She pushed him away and smiled standing perfectly still on her own.
"No I was just playing with you." She said with a smile then leaned in and winked. "Why do you want me to be?"
Kaylum smirked down at her but said nothing as they heard some one growl behind them.
"Do you realize how many of us there are?" Elma yelled into her phone. She paused for a moment then rolled her eyes. "Fine but if we wreck your house its your own fault."
She hung up the phone and turned to the others. "She said its ok if we stay but we have a slight problem."
"Um yeah Elma hun, we figured that one out by the tone in your voice." Piper said with a Michigan accent. Elma smiled slightly but didn't calm down.
"All the Sons and Daughters have to stay." She said with a sneer. "She has a bad felling that actually means that she want to make sure that the Gift of Salem are there because god knows every elder wants to meet them."
"The gifts of Salem?" Caleb asked. He was learning something new about them almost everyday.
"Yeah Kaylum and Bella. No one really knows why the Elders call them that, but they do." Piper explained. "So sticking together only means that we have to stay with Aden a little longer. Come on Bella I have a bottle of Vodka in my bag. We'll have him passed out in thirty minutes tops."
"Three minutes if I decide to nock him over the head with it." Bella said with a growl. She gave Reid a kiss on the check. "I'll see you soon."
Piper and Bella walked away arm in arm towards the locker room. Elma waved goodbye to them with a smirk on her face.
"Pooh Bear what exactly are they going to do to him?" Kaylum asked Elma getting at eye level with her.
"They'll go find Vela, Blair and maybe Heather and grab the bottle of Vodka then meet Aden at the bus. Then they'll play strip tease." Kaylum's eyes flared with anger but Elma quickly explained more. "Piper and Bella only take two or three shots and take of only shoes. The other girls will take at least four each and take off what ever. By that time Aden is so out of it he doesn't realize that the girls have stopped drinking and passes out. It get him out of they way for at least an hour or two."
"You girls are sick." Kaylum said then shook his head. Elma just shrugged and said nothing.
Phoenix, who went outside after his swim cam running around the cornier with a scared look on his face he was fallowed by Bella and Piper. When they reached the group Kaylum realized that they hadn't reached Aden yet because Piper was still holding an un opened bottle.
"We found Aden but he was already knocked out." Bella said with a sigh. "I have a feeling it was Chase."
"What gives you that impression?" Reid asked sounding worried.
"Well the fact that he was knocked out by a tree and he had a note attached to him that said 'Bella my love this is for you' other than that I think the wind did it." Piper said sarcastically.
"He's here for me." Pogue said angrily.
"Nothing is going to happen to you." Piper said forcefully. "We can all go with you and fight Chase if he shows his face. He hasn't seen how powerful those from Salem really are."
"We can't let you put yourselves in harms way." Caleb said shaking his head. He was already going to go with Pogue.
"Caleb no offence, but you're the only one that's ascended. We've already had five. And frankly six is better than one." Piper said handing the bottle of Vodka to Kaylum. "We can help."
"Believe me Caleb I know that look." Kaylum said taking a swig of Vodka then passing the bottle back to Piper. "That's her don't mess with me because I'm right and I will prove it look. I get it a lot. And she does prove it."
"Fine but all those who haven't ascended are going to Nickys." Caleb replied and Piper nodded in agreement.
The girls got changed into some normal cloths and Bella looked around at them. They where all wearing jeans and a plain t-shirt. "No this isn't going to work."
"What do you mean?" Elma asked pulling her hair into a pony tail just like the rest of the girls.
"We all match. We cant go to Nickys matching. Come on I have two friends you have to meet."
Bella knocked on the dorm door and waited. A blond girl opened it and looked at her in surprise.
"Any chance you can babe a few girl up for a night at Nickys?" Bella asked and Sarah smiled.
"Bella! Come in every one sure we can." She said shutting the door behind everyone. "So what can we do for you?"
Kate gave Bella a hug and the girl all found a place to sit.
"We need help not matching." Bella said and Kate knew at once what she meant the girls looked like they where from boot camp. All dressed in the same shade of jeans and a white t-shirts.
"Alright lets raid my closet. I've been needing to clean it out for awhile anyway. What ever I give you, you can keep." Kate said getting off her bed and heading for her closet. The girls squealed at they fallowed her. Kate had the best array of cloths. She picked out a black halter top and a denim mini skirt for Vela who was a tall blond. She was the only one who was allowed to keep her hair in a ponytail because she kept it a messy ponytail. For Blair who had long dark brown hair with red highlights she picked out a tight baby pink shirt and let her keep her jeans. She also got pink cowboy boots and a pink cowboy hat. They put her hair in pig tails. Heather who was also blond wore a baby blue peasant top with faded blue jeans. Elma put on a black pleated skirt and a lime green tank top. They simply curled her hair. Piper wore a tight black spaghetti strap dress that still had the tags on it. Sarah fixed pipers hair so that it was half down half up then curly.
"You really want to get rid of this?" Piper said in aw.
"It was Pogue break up gift to me." Kate said rolling her eyes and quickly moving on to Bella. She chose out a red halter top dress with a flowy skirt and a black bow around the middle. Bella's hair was just strait. "There now you all look to die for."
"Thanks you guys." Bella said as the girl started to leave. "I owe you one."
"We'll remember that." Kate called after her friend and laughed. She missed having her around.
