Chapter 19 – The Right One

Isobel stared at the door in shock. She really hadn't been expecting the news Reid had given her. So much had been going on and to add this in to the mix, her life was becoming some daily soap opera.

Cancer in Remission? Check. Suicide attempt? Check. Meet cute boy in hospital? Check. Said cute boy ends up your boyfriend? Check. Blackmail and bribery? Double Check. Boyfriend has magical powers? Check.

Her life was definitely not normal. It had been getting further and further away from anything normal; especially in the last couple of weeks.

She was supposed to meet with Reid and Tyler in front of the dorms in a half hour to go to Nicky's to celebrate. Reid didn't want to leave. But he did, he knew that Isobel would need some time to think this all through. But she didn't really want it, she didn't want to dwell on it.

She could accept that her boyfriend was some kind of mythical being, to know that someone like him could exist. Stranger things have happened, haven't they? She thought hard for a moment, but she couldn't think of anything.

She motivated herself to get up. She had to search for something to wear; she hadn't thought about what the others were wearing. That's what she needed to do, not think about it. Keep her mind off of anything that might give her a headache.

Reid answered the phone on the second ring. He knew it was Caleb before he even saw his screen. Without further hesitation he greeted his best friend.

"Hi Caleb,"

"Reid, why the hell are you using?"

Reid smirked as he sauntered down the hall, "I told Iz…"

There was a pause on the other line.

"Excuse me?"

"I told Isobel about the Covenant,"

Another pause occurred, this time a little longer than the last.

"What part of Covenant of Silence do you not comprehend?"

Reid scoffed, "So you can tell Sarah and Pogue can tell Kate, but I can't tell MY girlfriend… That's bullshit…"

The oldest Son was quiet for a moment, "Sarah's life was in danger, Reid… Kate's too…."

"My life is in danger," Reid announced. "Mine. This is my life as much as it is yours, Caleb. I trust Isobel and I know she'll keep our secret. I know it!" Caleb didn't say a word. "I'll see you at Nicky's."

With that Reid hung up the phone. He could feel his heart hammering in his chest. It wasn't unusual for him to tell Caleb off, but this time it was at least over something important.

He pushed his dorm door open and found Tyler lying on his bed with his laptop open. The brunette looked up at him his eyes accusing. Reid closed the door with his foot and fell on to his bed.

"What's that look for?" Reid smirked.

"Caleb called to ream me about using… me…" Tyler narrowed his eyes.

"Ah," Reid pulled a pillow under his head and sighed. "I told Isobel."

"What does using have to do with—" Tyler cut himself off when realization smacked him in the face. He was quiet for a second. "You told her?"

"Yes," Reid rolled on to his side to face his best friend.

"And?"

"And what?"

"What'd she say? How'd she react?" Tyler asked a bit excited.

Reid grinned, "She didn't freak." He shrugged. "Which is great; she was actually kind of calm about the whole thing." The brunette closed his lap top waiting for more. "I left so she could let it sink in."

"You don't think she'll run away screaming, do you?"

"I think she would have done it already if she was planning too, but who knows." Reid took a deep breath. "I hope she doesn't, but I just want her to be comfortable with it, that's why I had to tell her now." He stared at the door. "I want her to go run and screaming now, rather than later."

Tyler nodded his head agreeing; "I guess that's how we know when we've found the right girl, huh?"

Reid smirked and tilted his head to look at his best friend, "I guess so, man."

Isobel walked down the staircase, she had been trying to figure out what to say to Reid, or the rest of the guys for that matter. She had found out that all four of them had these powers, but Reid told her only so much. He told her that they would talk about the rest of it later.

When later was, she wasn't quite sure.

She hoped soon, because she had a thousand-and-one questions brewing in her head. She wanted to get all the answers, because, well, that's just how she was.

She walked outside and saw the Hummer idling near the end of the steps and Reid leaning against the handrail waiting for her. As soon as he saw her he pushed himself off and moved to her. She couldn't help but notice how graceful he was as he skipped a step every time he moved; not a hesitation or worry at all.

"You're smiling like you thought I wasn't going to come…" Isobel pointed out giving him an innocent peck on the lips.

"The thought crossed my mind," He admitted. "A time or two in the last half hour."

Isobel laughed a bit and the two slid in the backseat of the Hummer. Tyler started driving and glanced back to give her a small smile.

"So I hear the secrets out?" He started conversationally.

Isobel glanced at Reid and he shrugged his shoulders carelessly, "Uh, yeah…" She nodded her head.

"It's nice not having to hide it," Tyler stated more to himself than to anyone else.

Reid pulled Isobel's body closer, "Sarah and Kate both know, too." He informed her.

Isobel stared at him for a second and smiled, she was glad to know that she wasn't the only one who was going to have to keep a huge secret from the rest of the world. She settled in to the leather seat a little more comfortably now.

She was worried about what Caleb would say about the fact that she knew about their secret. Would he be angry? He seemed like the kind of person who would want to enforce the rules of the Covenant.

"Caleb's not going to be mad at you, is he?" She voiced her concern to her boyfriend.

Reid laughed a bit and kissed her temple, "You let me worry about the fearless leader, and you just worry about having a good time, ok?"

Upon arriving at Nicky's Isobel had definitely relaxed more than she thought she would by this point. She didn't feel that squeamish feeling she had earlier, Tyler and Reid had helped her out a lot.

Stepping foot inside of the bar she was pulled to a table where Caleb and Pogue sat with their respective girlfriends. The air around the table seemed to be tense. That was until Reid decided to lighten the mood by challenging the boys to a game of pool.

Reluctantly, Caleb and Pogue agreed and were dragged off by Reid and Tyler. Isobel looked nervously from one face to the other. Sarah and Kate were both slightly on edge, and Isobel wasn't sure if it was because of the fact that they knew she knew, or if they weren't sure if she knew or not.

"How do you like your new dorm, Isobel?" Sarah asked breaking the ice first.

The dark haired girl smiled, "It's definitely different, but the same… if that makes any sense at all…"

Kate and Sarah both laughed, "It makes perfect sense!"

Things seemed to fall in to place after that. Sarah, Kate and Isobel were talking animatedly, while the boys played pool and entertained themselves.

Reid glanced over at the table and saw Isobel laughing, he felt a wave of relief wash over him and he tapped Caleb with the pool stick. The dark haired young man looked at him, a look of apprehension on his features.

"You can't still be pissed at me, seriously Cal…." Reid groaned giving his best pouting face to the older brother.

"I just think you went about it the wrong way, you should have talked to us about it…"

"Maybe I should have, but it just kind of came up in conversation." Reid shrugged his shoulders watching Pogue miss his shot.

"How does that just come up in conversation?" Pogue asked looking up at his close friend.

Reid explained to them what he and Isobel were talking about when he let it slip. He also explained to them that he wanted her to know now, because he was pretty sure that she was the one. She was Mrs. Right, and not just Mrs. Right Now.

"Are you sure about this?" Caleb asked.

Tyler grinned at Caleb, "Are you kidding me?" He scoffed. "He talks about her in his sleep!"

Reid groaned and shoved the younger boy, "Shut up Ty…"

"Awe, Cal… our little boy is in love…"

Caleb smirked and shook his head, "You know I can't stay mad at you for too long, blondie…" He bumped shoulders with the lean blonde boy. "Especially when I'm about to school you at your own game…"

Caleb leaned down and made a perfect combo shot, much to the surprise of Reid. The blonde clapped a hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"I've taught you well,"

After the boys came back the girls challenged them to a round of pool, Guys vs. Girls. Isobel had never felt so accepted in her life. She felt like this was a perfect fit for her. Everything seemed to work out so well when she was around Reid and the others.

Like nothing could go wrong.

"Did you have fun tonight?" Reid asked as he walked Isobel to her door.

Isobel smiled and held his hand a little tighter in her grasp, "If it were any better it'd be a fairy tale." She replied jokingly.

Reid kissed her softly and pulled her closer; Isobel stared up at him with a small grin on her face. After talking to Sarah and Kate, she was more intrigued to learn about Reid's capabilities. She pulled him in to her dorm and closed the door.

"Babe, if you wanted to get frisky, all you had to do was say so…"

Isobel laughed at him and took a seat on her bed; she gave the empty spot next to her a pat. Reid sat down carefully and lifted a pale eyebrow at her.

"Come over here," She urged him. "I want to learn more about this 'powers' thing…"

Reid stared at her; he could see the curiosity bouncing around in her beautiful brown eyes. He grinned and nodded his head, agreeing that he would tell her more about the Covenant and the powers that they had.

It seemed like forever passed by them. Every question she had, he answered. Any answer he gave made her ask another question. They bounced back and forth off of each other for what felt like hours.

Isobel was lying on her back, staring up at the ceiling while Reid laid on his side, letting his long slender finger trail over her stomach. She felt a chill ran down her spine as he explained the 'catch' to the powers.

"So if you use too much…" She trailed off.

"You become addicted." Reid nodded his head, catching the worried glance she gave him. "The body wears down with every use of the power after we ascend."

"I swear to God, Reid…" She grabbed his roaming hand and held it to her chest firmly. "I don't want that to happen to you, I can't lose you…"

He smiled at her, genuinely, "You've got nothing to worry about."

"Promise?" She asked him.

He leaned down, pressing his lips firmly to hers.

"Promise."
