Previously::

Reid grabbed a hold of Caleb's ankle and pulled him into the water head first, laughing the whole time.

He casually propped his elbows on the edge of the pool and waited for Caleb to come back up.

"I'm going to kill you." Caleb said a second later floating towards Reid, shivering.

"Payback's a bitch." Reid laughed nervously, he realized how close Caleb's tan dripping face was to his own. He stopped laughing and gasped. Water dripped into the older boy's brown eyes.

Caleb leaned in slightly and…

Chapter 12:: -The Black Figure-

Caleb leaned in slightly and looked Reid in the eyes. 'He looks so vulnerable.' Caleb thought leaning in a little further, looking at the green bruise on his forehead. Reid looked up, confusion in his gray eyes.

Caleb was some much taller and more muscular than Reid. 'What is he doing?' Reid thought.

Caleb reached up with his left hand and ran a wet hand against Reid's now dry face.

Reid's eyes widened, not because Caleb was touching his face in an intimate way. It was because something or someone grabbed Reid by the ankles. Reid was pulled under the water, he held his breath just in time.

"Reid!" Caleb yelled as he went down. He tried to grab a hold of Reid's hand, but missed. He could see a black hooded figure pulling Reid down.

Caleb's pupils grew. His eyes now black. He went under the water grabbing Reid's hand. The black looked up and him with red eyes.

"Let go." The black figure growled. "He's mine."

"Hell no." Caleb gurgled. Caleb used his powers to shot both him and Reid out of the water.

Both of them hit the cement floor around the pool. Caleb scooted over towards Reid lying on his back on the floor.

"Oh no." Caleb gasped as he noticed that Reid wasn't breathing. "Please don't be dead."

Caleb felt the side of his neck for a pulse. "Damnit." He said his eyes tearing up. He tilted Reid's head, thinking fast. He breathed into his mouth. He pressed his hands against Reid's chest. Pressing downwards, performing CPR on him.

After five tries he slouched, tears running down his face. "No. I have to try one more time." He pressed downwards on his chest, "1…2…3…4." He tilted Reid's head again. He pinched his nose and breathed into his mouth.

Reid eyes opened wide, he coughed up water. Caleb helped him sit up.

"Did you see it?" Reid said, his voice hoarse.

Caleb wiped his eyes, "I saw it."

"I thought I was going crazy."

"Are you okay?" Caleb asked standing up, he helped Reid up.

"Yeah." Reid said looking at the pool. "What did you see Caleb?"

"Hold on, let's get out of here first." Caleb said grabbing his hand. He grabbed two towels and they got out of the basement.

"Thank you." Reid said sadly.

"You're welcome."

"So, what did you see?"

"It was a black hooded figure with…"

"Red eyes?" Reid said sitting down on the chair in the hallway.

"You've seen it before?"

"Yes. Last night on the t.v." Reid said rubbing his red eyes. "He was in a show I was watching. I tried to get a closer look and his eyes went red and the t.v. started sparking."

"This is getting freaky." Caleb said.

"You're telling me." Reid whispered. "What am I going to do?"

"I don't know." Caleb said quietly staring at Reid.

"I almost died." Reid cried. "I can't do this anymore."

"No. Stop it." Caleb said running over to the crying Reid.

"I'm serious. This is too much. I don't know if I can live through whatever happens next."

"Yes you can. I'll help you."

"No. Stop it. Don't act like you care." Reid yelled. "Weren't you the one who said you wouldn't care if I died?"

"Yes." Caleb said looking away. "But I didn't mean it. I was mad at the time. Here you were barking at me. I'm sorry."

"Sure you are." Reid mumbled.

Caleb pulled Reid up from the chair so he was in front of Caleb, "You don't know how much I care." He said in Reid's face.

"Show me than." Reid blurted out.

Caleb did something Reid didn't expect, but it wasn't a bad thing.
