Chapter Thirteen

It was around seven in the morning.

Carly was having another dream.

She was back in the woods again wearing the same thing. She saw Caleb, Reid, Tyler, and Pogue fighting with Chase instead of Ben. But then Chase would switch back and forth to being him or Ben.

She walked up to them, saw that they have been beaten up, on the ground, and helpless.

"Leave them alone!" Carly yelled.

"Well well well… what have we got here?" Ben said walking up to her.

"What the fuck do you want Ben?" She asked.

"Just you… I want you. Because you are mine." Ben said.

"No… I don't belong to you." Carly said.

He switched into Chase and said " I beg to differ darlin'… Remember that night at that party… that's when you became mine."

"No." She said as she had tears falling from her eyes from the flashbacks of that horrible night.

"It's almost time for you to come with me… after your boyfriend ascends… and I have the rest of the guys will me their power. Nobody can stop me." Chase said with a sadistic smile.

He kissed her on the cheek then vanished.

She woke up crying. Reid woke up and said "Bella… what's wrong? What happened?"

She held onto Reid as tight as she could and said "He wont leave me alone… He told me that he wants me and he's going to take all of your power and that nobody can stop him."

Carly didn't want to tell him that it was actually Chase in the dream, because she was afraid of what might happen if she did.

Reid swallowed hard and said "Um… What kind of power?"

"He told me after you ascend, he'll make all of you guys will your power to him. Yours, Caleb's, Pogue's, and Tyler's. I don't know what's going on Reid… What power was he talking about?" She said all confused.

"Babe… I'll let Caleb tell you." Reid said.

"Why can't you tell me? You know you can trust me Reid." She said.

"I know… but I really think you should let Caleb tell you… instead of me." Reid said looking away.

She scoffed and got out of her bed. Without caring that Reid was in the room with her she changed into her jeans, put on a T-shirt, and her black chucks. She grabbed her purse and her laptop.

"What are you doing Bella?" Reid asked.

"Leaving… I can't believe you wont tell me what's going on… I love you, Reid. But if you can't trust me enough to tell me… then you have serious problems." She said then walked out and slammed the door.

She got into her car and sped off. Reid tried to catch up with her but it was too late. Reid texted the guys "Meeting. Now."

Then he went up to his room. Tyler was just waking up and said "Hey… where's Carly?"

"She got pissed off at me and took off." Reid said.

"What could she possibly get pissed off at you about?" Tyler laughed.

"She told me she loved me… that is the first time she has said that to me but then she says I don't trust her… I'll tell you the rest when we meet up with Pogue and Cal." Reid said.

"Ok then." Tyler said as he put on a pair of jeans, a hoodie, and his shoes. Then him and Tyler walked outside to the hummer.

Reid looked around and said "She took her car."

"You know… Carly could be anywhere." Tyler said.

Reid got into the hummer and said "I'll find her…"

"We better find her or I am blaming you for making her leave… I swear if anything happens to her Reid…" Tyler said as he got in the car.

"You know… you have been acting strange towards her… What's up with you?" Reid asked.

"Forget it… we just need to find her." Tyler said as he drove off to Caleb's colony house.

When they got there, they walked downstairs to meet Caleb and Pogue.

"What's going on?" Caleb asked.

"She had another dream… except this time Ben was telling her that he was going to take her and take all of our power. He was going to make us will it to him." Reid said.

"Uh-oh…" Pogue said.

"She asked me about the power and I couldn't tell her. She accused me of not trusting her and now she's gone." Reid said rubbing his face.

"What do you mean gone?" Caleb asked.

"She got pissed off because I wouldn't tell her about 'the power' she asked me about and took off in her car somewhere." Reid said.

"You let her go? What if something happens? That Ben guy can be anywhere." Pogue said.

"We need to find her… we promised Jack we'd take care of her and--" Tyler paused then shook his head. "We just got to find her."

"We will find her… but if something did happen to her I don't think I will be able to forgive myself for letting her go." Reid said.

"We need to keep Kate and Sarah safe as well." Pogue said.

"Yeah… just in case." Caleb said.

"Do you have any clue as to where Carly would go?" Tyler asked.

"No. But we have to find her. I love her." Reid said.

"We will man… We love and care about her too." Pogue said.

Carly didn't really know where she was going. She was just mad that Reid, the love of her life didn't trust her. She drove to her dad's mansion that he left to her. It was huge. She parked the car and walked in.

She was looking around at all the pictures on the walls mostly of her or her and Jack when she was little. There was one that caught Carly's eye. It was a picture of Jack and four young boys. She opened the back of the frame and on the back said "Me and the 'Sons of Ipswich'- read the letter Caroline."

Her eyes got all big. She sat down on the chair by her dad's desk and read the letter.

The letter said:

"Hey Princess Caroline, Don't be frightened. If you are reading this then I am gone. I see you saw the picture of me and the boys that lead you to read the letter. But it looks like everything with you and the boys are coming together.

Yes, they knew me, but I told them not to tell you. You found out how great and sincere they are on your own. Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, and Reid all promised me they would keep an eye on you when you came into town.

And that is why I dropped you off at the dorms, to meet your future husband. They would go to the depths of the oceans to protect you. Especially Reid. I knew He had a thing for you. He'd look at your pictures on the wall and tell me that you and him would be together and I wouldn't have to worry because you'd be in good hands.

I know this is all weird to you, but soon you will understand why all of this is happening. But I need my little girl to trust me and trust the boys. And please don't be mad at them for knowing me and keeping that from you. They are good guys. Okay?

I hope you and Reid have a happy life together. And yes… Caroline, I do approve. But, I am sorry I wont be able to walk you down the aisle… but I'll look in on you from time to time.

Love always, Jack"
