Chapter 21

As Reid walked through the cold, dead forest, he seemed to be lost. A groaning sound drove him from his personal thoughts. He looked over and saw a figure lining the ground, weakly. "Tyler?" Reid questioned a pair of brown eyes stared up at Reid as he made his way over. He helped him to his feet. "How did you end up out here?" Tyler asked weakly standing. There was a gash on the side of Tyler forehead. "I don't really know." Reid answered confused, "but Chase is alive and he wants my powers in exchange for Nicole and Nova." Tyler clutched his head in pain, angered.
"He has Nicole?" he questioned.
"Yea, but we need to save them." Reid finished dramatically, "We need to find Caleb."

Reid and Tyler arrived outside of the Danvers manor, a quarter till 11, knocking. A tired Caleb answered the door. "What are you guys doing here?" Caleb questioned yawning.
"We need your help saving them from Chase," Tyler replied solemnly. Caleb shook his head and was about to close the door when Reid put his foot in the doorway.
"Listen, Chase is back and he's after me. We need your help to save everyone," Reid answered angrily. Caleb noted the seriousness in their voices then invited them in, helping them with their plan.

"So what are we going to do?" Caleb asked as the three of them sat down on the large couch.
"I think I know how we can kill Chase," Reid said.
"That's impossible… He's apart of the Pagans… He's pretty much immortal." Tyler said.
"Not if we destroy the Asiskos," Reid said.
"And what the fuck are those?" Tyler asked. Caleb who almost fell asleep jumped up trying to stay awake.
"They're soul sealing items… A way to keep a Pagan at full power," Reid said.
"And if the items are destroyed Chase will have reduced to no power," Caleb said understanding what Reid what saying.
"How do you guys know about this stuff?" Tyler asked confused.
"Nova left behind Powerful Magical Objects Through the Ages in my room once and I read through it," Reid said.
"My dad gave me a copy of the book and I read it a few years ago," Caleb said.
"Looks like everything will be up to you then baby boy," Reid said in a serious tone to Tyler.
"What do you mean?" Tyler asked entirely confused.
"Only a warlock who hasn't ascended can destroy these items," Caleb said. Tyler then grew worried.
"I CAN'T DO THIS!" He yelled worriedly.
"Tyler… It's the only way to keep Nicole alive," Reid said and Tyler gulped at the thought.
"What the fuck am I supposed to do?" Tyler asked.
"Destroy the three items… The Hour Glass of Afterlife… The Mirror of the Death Clock… The Ring of Power….and Tablet of Immortality," Caleb said.
"And how am I supposed to find them?" Tyler asked and the two shrugged in confusion.

In the dungeon Nicole gave Mikki a devious death glare. "Son of a bitch." She muttered under her breath.
"YOU THINK I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN!" Mikki snapped still in tears.
"You've been my best friend for four fucking years… How in the hell could you betray us?" Nicole asked angrily.
"Because I loved him!" Mikki snapped bursting out in tears again. "And I thought he loved me!!!"
"Well if you knew the bastard like we did, you would have noticed," Nicole screamed in hatred.
Mikki held her head in disappointment, silence over crowding them once more. "Look, I'm fucking sorry about betraying you," Mikki whispered apologetically. Nicole checked her expression and saw her sincerity."Fine, but we really need to find a way out of here. Got any ideas?" Nicole asked hopefully as Mikki helped her remove the rope. Mikki pointed to the ceiling where a single ray of light shone through.

The next day seems longer as Reid, Tyler, and Caleb went through their normal days at Spencer. Soon night dawned upon Ipswich and Reid arrived the colony house alone. As he made his way up the beaten path, he swore he saw Chase laughing from the upstairs window, but ignored it. Reid entered the house to see Nova tied up in a chair, alone. She was still, but breathing. "It's a quarter till midnight Garwin." A voice boomed, startling both Reid and Nova. The door locked its, sealing off any exits. "15 minutes till I gain a new power source." Chase appeared behind Nova, who seemed bothered.

Meanwhile…
"Tyler what are we looking for?" Caleb asked as the two of them were destroying Nicole and Nova's room.
"I think Nicole mentioned that Nova had a magic item detector," Tyler said as his eyes turned black and the bed flipped over revealing a crystal ball. "Bingo." HE said picking up the blue ball then headed for the door.
"I don't think Nova and Nicole will want to come back to there room looking like this," Caleb said looking around at the mess they made.
"Let's make sure they will be coming home first," Tyler said in concern. "Three of the four items are here at Spencers… In a girls dorm room." He said as he ran out of the room.
