A/N: Here is another chapter for you. Also a thank you to winchesterxgirl for giving me feedback on my last chapter. I know this one is shorter than the last few, but I hope you like it. I'll try to make up for the shortness in the next chapter. Read and review please.

Disclaimer: I own only the figments of my imagination.

Cold rain pounded on my face as a dark, sinister laugh echoed through the blackness night. "You think you've won, but the game has only just begun. I will have what I want and nothing will stop me." Pain shot through my body as a blinding light came hurtling towards me.

I bolted upright, panting. A cold sweat coated my skin. I slipped my hand under my pillow as I surveyed the room for danger. It was a good thing there was nothing there because I came up empty handed. I cursed myself for being so careless. I groaned as I flopped back on the bed. Remembering where I was, I rolled over to bury my face in a warm chest only to find the other side of the bed empty. I lifted my head and looked around. The sun was coming through a slight opening in the curtains illuminating the room in a soft morning light.

"Reid?," I called out when my second survey of the room revealed nothing. Glancing at the clock sitting on Reid's beside table I noticed the time. "Shit." It was nine forty-five. I got up and went to my duffle. Grabbing my phone, I checked my missed call list. Expecting a barrage of calls and messages from my brothers because the provost called to inform them I wasn't in school, I was extremely surprised to find none. Truthfully, that worried me even more.

I went to find the others still clad in Reid's borrowed clothes. I knocked before peaking into various rooms. Finding them empty, I decided to head downstairs. I didn't think they would've left me, especially Reid, but if they had I was sure Evelyn was still around and she could tell me what was going on. I wandered down the stairs. When I reached the bottom, I heard some noises coming from the direction of the kitchen. I entered and took in the sight before me.

There stood Reid and Mason at the stove cooking. Sam was at the dining room table hunched over his laptop and Dean was on the phone. Reid was still in his pajamas, but had at least put on a shirt. I was in shock. The scene before me couldn't be real. I was trying to remember the last time I had a run in with a djinn.

"Alright, thanks Bobby." Dean hung up the phone, his back still to me.

"Anything?," Sam asked.

"Nothing, he even contacted Kya to find out if she's been hearing anything." He turned around and saw me. "Bout time Lil' Bit." Everybody's attention turned to me. "Are we going to eat sometime today?" Dean plopped into the seat next to Sam as Mason and Reid started bringing plates of food over.

"Morning Tex." Reid gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and placed a plate of bacon on the table. Mason and Dean sat at opposite ends of the table. Sam sat on one side and Reid took a seat next to Mason on the other side. This is not happening.

"Come on Pup. You need to eat." Reid stood and pulled out the chair next to him and across from Sam. At least he was smart enough to place me between him and Dean, I thought smiling. I walked to the other side, giving him a quick kiss before sitting down.

"I think I'm going to be sick," Dean muttered from my left. I glared at him as he shoveled eggs into his mouth. "What?," he asked with his mouth full of food.

"You're a pig," Sam said his face twisted in disgust. Dean looked at him menacingly, then shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat. A piece of toast and some bacon was placed on my plate. I turned to look at Reid. He still looked worn out. He had dark circles under his eyes, enhanced even more by the paleness of his skin. His hair was disheveled. It appeared he had just run his fingers through it when he woke up.

"Are you okay?," I asked, brushing a bit of his hair out of the way. He grabbed my hand and kissed the palm.

"I'm fine Tex. Nothing some food and my girl can't fix." He smiled and gave me another kiss.

"Okay, now I'm going to be sick," Sam said. I picked a grape from the fruit bowl and threw it at him. He caught it in his mouth, ate it, and smiled at me. I rolled my eyes and the others just laughed.

"Where are the others?," I asked, before taking a bite of my toast.

"They went to school," Reid replied. "My dad called in for me today saying I was sick."

"Why didn't anyone wake me?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"I woke up a little after nine. Everybody was gone and your brothers were here." He took a drink if his coffee and I turned to Mason for my answer.

"We told the provost you were helping with case and wouldn't be in."

"But how did you know where I was?"

"Did you honestly think we believed your story about spending the night at Kate's Lil' Bit?" I just stared at Dean. I felt the blush rise on my cheeks and ducked my head, causing my hair to fall and block my face from their view. I should've known that they wouldn't have believed me in the first place.

"We knew you would want to be there for Reid after his…um…"

"Ascension," I filled in for Sam.

"Yeah that. We trust you enough so we let you go." Twist the knife a little deeper, why don't you Sammy. I started eating my eggs when Dean spoke up.

"Whose clothes are those Lil' Bit?" I gulped. I knew that Dean knew exactly whose clothes I was wearing, so there was no lying about it.

"Reid's," I spit out quickly and took a bite of my toast. I tensed in anticipation of the outburst that I was so sure would follow my admission. It was silent and the three of them were staring at us. "What?" Sam cocked his eyebrow. "I forgot my pajamas so I borrowed some from Reid. Would you have preferred me to sleep naked?" Dean choked on the coffee he had just taken a drink of. Sam slapped his back as I scoffed. He couldn't preach to me about abstinence. Dean was trying to speak, but couldn't seem to get his voice back.

"You didn't, did you?" Mason asked glaring at the two of us, more specifically Reid. Dean slammed his hands down on the table and frantically pointed in Mason's direction nodding his head vigorously. I guess that was the question he was going to ask only with different terms.

"I'm wearing his clothes aren't I?"

"That's not an answer," Dean wheezed out. I sighed frustrated.

"No, okay? We were both clothed in bed." Just not in the shower. The tension was thick as it became silent again. I was preparing myself for Dean to jump up and attack Reid once more, regardless of what I said. What I didn't expect was the words that actually tumbled out of Dean's mouth next. He looked hard at Reid, trying to intimidate him. Then he sat back.

"Welcome to the club kid. You're probably going to lose more clothes than that. She's always borrowing our shit." And just like that the tension had eased.

"Which we typically have to swipe back on laundry day," Sam added. My mouth was hanging open. I looked around the table. My brothers were smirking at me and Sam's look told me that I couldn't deny the truth behind his and Dean's statement. Reid was trying hard to hide his smile, but when he saw my fish look he couldn't hold back anymore.

"I don't always take your clothes," I stated in a huff. "And when I do borrow them, I give them back." I glared at Sam.

"Oh yeah, what about my AC/DC shirt you borrowed from me, what was it, four months ago that is still sitting in your duffle?"

"I gave that back," I cried out indignantly. Sam chuckled and shook his head.

"No Addy you didn't. Dean grabbed one laundry day two months ago and you took it back. If I remember correctly you were wearing it a couple of days ago."

"No. That was a different shirt." I said the last part softly. Sam gave me his 'caught you' look.

"And what about Sammy's green shirt that you took before he left for Stanford?"

"I was wondering where that went. I should've figured you swiped it." I could feel my face burning as they continued list off clothes that I had taken and never returned.

"Nice try Pup, but even you can't deny it." Mason sat back with his hands folded behind his head. I quickly finished what was left of my breakfast and bolted upstairs.

"Addy."

"Come on Lil' Bit."

"Pup." I ignored the calls as I slammed Reid's bedroom door closed. I didn't know why I was letting their picking get to me. I walked over to my duffle and started pulling out clothes. The door opened and closed behind me.

"Get out," I said, not looking to see who was behind me.

"Considering it's my room, I don't think I will Tex." I looked over my shoulder to see Reid leaning casually against the door, his arms crossed in front of him and his head cocked to the side.

"Sorry," I mumbled. "Thought you were one of the guys."

"Figured that." He pushed himself off the door as I grabbed my clothes and headed to the bathroom. He intercepted me and grabbed my arm.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He looked at me, concern filling his eyes. "If this is about what your brothers were saying they were just messing with you." I sighed and leaned my head against his chest. His arms encircled me and held me. He placed a kiss on the top of my head.

"I know they were. I guess…I just don't know what's wrong." He looked down at me confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I have all these thoughts going about a mile a minute in my head. I've had nightmares plaguing me. I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep since…" I stopped.

"Since when?"

"Since my parents died." His mouth curled at my confession. I had really thought about it until now. I had been having nightmares for months. Most of them about Dean in hell, about Sam abandoning us and turning into what Azazel wanted him to be, losing Mason. I even had nightmares about my parents. I would be in the bar as it was burning, listening to their screams. I had lost almost all my family and I knew that my fear of losing the rest of it was causing some of my nightmares.

However, ever since Bobby had first mentioned this case, I had been having even more. The scary thing was that I could never remember them. Just like the one this morning. Even now as I thought about it, everything was eluding me. The only thing I could recall were the emotions running through me. The panic that still gripped me as I would jolt awake, my heart still pounding rapidly in the silent room. It was only when I actually met the Sons that I able to recall one of them, the rest still evaded me. The scene between Reid and Chase kept playing over and over in my head. I clutched Reid's shirt a little tighter. The concern look came back to his face as he felt me tense.

"Hey," he said softly, trying to coax me out of my thoughts. "You can tell me you know. Maybe I can help." I shook my head slightly as a strangled chuckle escaped my lips.

"I don't think you can Reid." He sighed and brushed my hair behind my ears and then cupping my face. He placed a tender kiss on my lips.

"At least let me try. " His thumb gently brushed across my cheek. "I want to help you Tex. Talk to me." I struggled to swallow the lump that had formed in my throat as I looked into his eyes. I could tell by the look in those beautiful eyes that he meant it. That he would do whatever he could to help me.

I cracked. I told him all about Dean's deal and my nightmares. We just sat on the bed and he didn't interrupt me once. When the tears started to fall, he gently wiped them away. I knew before long one of the guys would come up to see what was taking us so long, but I didn't care. It was a relief to tell somebody, like a weight had been lifted. My brothers knew about some of my nightmares, but they didn't know their content. I just made something up and they believed me and I had yet to tell hem about the newest ones, even though they experienced one when we got our tattoos. All of us had enough to worry about and I didn't want to burden them with my concerns. It wasn't like they told me their fears all the time either. Half of the time I had of pry it out of them.

"I just feel that if I lose one of them, I'm going to lose them all. Then I will be alone." We were now leaning against the headboard. My head rested on his chest as one of his arms rested around my waist and the other was moving up and down as he rubbed soothing circles along my arm. Every muscle in my body was tense. There was a wet spot on Reid's chest where my tears had soaked through. I felt bad. He didn't need to deal with my problems. He had enough of his own. Reid opened his mouth to reply when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Guys, everything ok up here?," Sam called.

"Everything's fine Sammy. We'll be down in a bit."

"Ok. You better hurry up before Dean and Mason decide to come up." We heard his footsteps fade down the hallway. Reid brought his hand up and combed his fingers through my hair. I looked up at him. I could tell that he was thinking about something.

"What is it?" He sighed and entwined our hands. He brought them to rest on his chest, over his heart. I felt the rhythmic beating and it eased my nerves. I relaxed into his arms, no longer embarrassed about crying on him.

"You will never be alone," he stated firmly. "I am always going to be here for you no mater what." He lips crashed onto mine, pleading with me to believe his words and I did. We separated, panting heavily. "As for your brothers, they would never abandon you." I shook my head and opened my mouth to speak, but he silenced me by placing his hand over my mouth. "They won't. You will never be alone Addison Cooper. I promise." He kissed me again, then pulled away.

Rubbing my cheek with his thumb, my eyes danced over him. I took in every part of him. Every touch, every kiss, every quirk of his lips, every curve on his face; I engraved it into my mind. Storing it away for when the time came when we would part ways, never sure when we'd see each other again. I wondered if it had been like this for my parents. Every time my father went on a hunt, we were never sure he would return alive. I also wondered if Dean had felt this with Cassie, Mason with Clarissa, or even Sam with Jessica. Our lives were so up in the air and so much bad stuff seemed to happen to us that we learned to take in every good we could get and hold on to it for as long as we could.

"I'll help you find a way out of Dean's deal," he said softly, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Reid, we've been searching for months and nothing has panned out."

"Yeah, well we have our own set of books that might have something in them. I'll talk to Caleb and see if you can come with me to look at them." I smiled up at him. Even though Dean had attacked him and wasn't his biggest fan, he was going to help him. "We better hurry up and get back down there before they decide to get their guns." I chuckled. He gave me a light kiss and smacked my ass. I jumped out of the bed and looked back at him. He just folded his hands behind his head and leaned back against the headboard. His mischievous smirk in place.

"You better stop doing that," I said sternly, pointing my finger at him.

"Oh yeah? What are you going to do if I don't?" I racked my brain for something. A devious smirk formed when I thought of the perfect thing. I slowly walked back over to the end of the bed, swaying my hips seductively. When I got to the foot of the bed I stopped, fingering the hem of the t-shirt I was wearing. I could see Reid's eyes start to cloud over with lust. I slowly inched up the shirt, running my hands across the exposed skin. He licked his lips, but remained in the same position, waiting.

I pulled the shirt the rest of the way off, leaving me in my dark green bra and his boxers. His mouth dropped open at the sight. I saw the tent in his pants and his chest moving up and down rapidly. I crawled onto the bed and very slowly made my way up to him. When my face reached his, I stretched my body out and lightly pushed our pelvises together. He let out a hiss and I felt his bulge. I struggled to keep my wits about me. I was only teasing him, but if I wasn't careful we would both end up naked. That wasn't a good idea with my brothers just downstairs. I ground into him a little harder and his hands shot out to grab my hips, holding them firmly down.

I could tell by the look on his face he was fighting the urge to rip off my clothes, throw me down, and take me. I think he kept reminding himself my brothers were here as well. I brought my head down to his neck. Darting my tongue out, I licked from the collar of his shirt up to his mouth. He groaned softly and tried to catch my mouth with his. I pulled back, then grazed my nose across his cheek to his ear. His hands gripped my hips tighter and pulled me harder against him. I let out a low moan and I felt his smile. Remembering that I was making a point, I breathed softly into his ear causing him to shiver.

"I won't have sex with you again," I whispered huskily into his ear. I could tell he was shocked because his grip loosened and I hopped off the bed and away from him. He let out a frustrated groan as I grabbed my clothes. He chased me to the bathroom, but I closed and locked the door before he could get me.

"You know that won't keep me out Tex." I heard the lock click and saw the doorknob turn.

"Reid," I growled out. He had just ascended last night and he was already using. He opened the door and glared at me. His hands were resting on the door frame. One leg was in front of the other as he leaned forward with his head dropped down slightly. The look on his face was that of a predator that had just caught its prey. I felt the shivers run through me as the temperature in the room seemed to rise. My mouth became dry as whatever I was about to say flew from my mind. He stalked into the bathroom and I backed up into the sink. He placed his hands on the counter and trapped me with his arms. He brought his mouth to my ear. I knew he was retaliating, but I couldn't stop myself from responding.

"That wasn't very nice baby." His voice was deep and full of want. I felt my knees want to give out under me, but I forced myself to remain steady. He pulled back and looked me in the eye. I pouted.

"Aw, I'm sorry Ace. I was just having a little fun." I ran my hand up and down his chest, feeling his muscles tighten under my ministrations. He closed the distance between us, pinning me to the counter with his body. He pushed his pelvis into mine, letting me know exactly what he really wanted to do right now.

"Ace?" He quirked his eyebrow at me. I shrugged my shoulders.

"You're always calling me Tex. I figured I should have a nickname for you."

"Why not something like Stud or Stallion or…"

"How about Horn Dog," I deadpanned. He looked down at me.

"What?"

"Don't I stroke your ego enough as it is Reid?" I moved to get out from under him, when he wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my shoulder.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled, then placed a kiss on my other shoulder. He pulled back and tucked my hair behind my ears. "I like Ace." He smiled at me and placed a quick kiss on my nose. "Now get out."

"Excuse me?"

"I need to take a shower. Unless you'd like to join me and relieve the tension you caused." I looked down between us, a small smile gracing my lips at the effect my little tease had on him. He ground his hips into mine again and I gasped. "What do you say?" Regaining my ability to speak I cleared my throat.

"I say you better make sure that water is ice cold." I kissed his cheek, slipped out of his embrace, grabbed my clothes, and walked back into the bedroom.

"Aw, come on Tex." He gave me a sad puppy face that was in close competition with Sam's.

"Sorry Ace, but if you want to live to see tomorrow you're going to have to take care of that yourself." I shimmied out of his boxers and slipped my jeans on. My back was turned to him. I knew that was a mistake when I felt his hands glide around my waist.

"You want to know what's hotter than seeing you in my clothes?," he asked breathlessly. I smiled, leaning back into his solid chest as his hands drifted up my stomach, then lightly squeezed my breasts before traveling back down and rubbing slow circles against my hip bones.

"Mmm, what's that?"

"Watching you take them off," he said huskily in my ear. Then he squeezed my ass before smacking it again. I turned to glower at him as he walked backwards to the bathroom. A cheeky smile on his face. He shut the door and I heard the water turn on. Shaking my head, I grabbed my shirt and tossed it on. I knew I better get down there before Mason or Dean decided to come up here. I had just closed the door and turned to walk to the stairs, when I saw Mason standing at the top.

"What's taking you two so long?"

"We were just talking," I said and walked past him, heading down the stairs. Mason turned and followed.

"What's he doing?"

"Taking a shower." I smirked as I thought about how Reid was handling his situation. Thankfully, my back was to Mason and he didn't see the smirk or glint in my eye. Although I made a mental note to have another little chat with him about using. We entered the kitchen just as Dean and Sam had finished putting away the dishes. We all sat back down at the table.

"So I got a question." They turned their attention to me. "How did you guys know I would be here?"

"We told you Lil' Bit…."

"No, you said you figured I'd spend the night with Reid. Therefore you would've gone to Reid's house or dorm room to find me. Instead you came here. You guys have never even been to Caleb's." Sam answered for them.

"We went to the school to pull you out. We ran into the others and they informed us that you two were here. Gave us directions and a key to get in." All little warning would've been nice Caleb.

"Then I told the provost you wouldn't be in today," Mason added.

"Well that explains why my phone didn't blow up this morning from your calls." They just smiled at me, attempting to pull off an innocent look and failing miserably. I sighed.

"So what are we doing then? I mean we've gone over all the books and usual websites. You've scoured through John's journal and Bobby hasn't come up with anything either." I slumped in the chair, crossing my arms over my chest. I was frustrated. Five people have gone missing and we were unable to figure it out.

"Actually we think we might know who it is," Sam said as he turned on his laptop.

"So you think it's a person?"

"The main connection was there all along. We just didn't place it until now," Mason said. None of them were answering me.

"Who?," I asked.

"We sat down last night and went over everything and it all points back to one possibility," Sam said.

"Who is it?," I shouted out interrupting Dean before he could say anything. They had figured out that it was a person committing these crimes. They sat there looking at me. It was their signal that I needed to try figuring it out for myself first. I went over everything in my head. The main connection is the Sons. And just like that everything fell into place. "Chase," I breathed out. The looks on their faces were grim. Sam nodded confirming my statement. Of course, it was so simple. Chase had told me he wanted power. Why didn't I figure it out sooner? I'm an idiot. I felt like smacking my head into a wall repeatedly for m stupidity. Before I got up to do just that, something else went off in my head.

"But how could he pull this off?"

"He has more power." We all turned to see Reid standing at the entrance to the kitchen. He sauntered over to the table and took a seat next to me, throwing his arm around my shoulders and pulling me to lean on him. "The only person who has equal power to him is Caleb. They were both willed their father's powers."

"Wait, Caleb said that the power becomes your life once you ascend. Does that mean that…" Reid nodded his head.

"Caleb's dad died giving him his power so he could defeat Chase." I sat there taking it all in, but something still didn't sit right.

"But why wasn't he at your ascension, trying to get your powers. Why wait until you had them long enough to really do some damage to him. He had to know you would've been weak." Reid shrugged.

"I'm sure he knew, but he also probably knew that Caleb and Pogue were going to be there too. That's two fully ascended Sons against one." I could understand that reasoning.

"I don't know. Something just doesn't feel right."

"What do you mean Pup?"

"It's hard to explain, but I feel that there is another piece of the puzzle we're missing. A really big piece." I looked to Reid as my nightmares came to mind. Maybe they had something to do with all of this, but without being able to recall them they were no help.

"Well we get the kid then we can find out if you're right Lil' Bit." We looked at Dean as he stood up. He checked the ammo in his gun.

"Wait Dean…"

"No Sammy. This kid is a danger. He has already kidnapped five kids and he is after our little sister. We wait around, he'll figure out we're on to him and take off." Dean was growing agitated. He wanted to settle this now and get out of here.

"How about I text the guys and have them keep an eye on him?" Reid pulled out his phone and started texting before we could answer him. "We have two classes with him anyway." We decided to wait for their response before we did anything. Five minutes later, Reid's phone beeped. "Baby Boy says he saw him just before second period."

"Third is almost over right?"

"Yeah, one of them will let us know if he's not in the cafeteria." He set his phone on the table.

"At least we know he is still there," Sam said.

"Yeah but for how long?" Dean sat back down in a huff.

"It's not like we can just go up to the school, yank him out, and take care of him Dean. People will notice."

"Sammy's right," Mason said.

"Then what the hell are we suppose to do?" Dean threw his hands up in the air clearly frustrated with everybody turning down his ideas. I turned to Reid.

"You wouldn't have any idea where he might have put them do you?"

"You know I was having a friendly conversation with him just yesterday. He told me exactly where he hid them and what his plans were," he said sarcastically.

"There is no need to be a jerk," I said smacking him and pulling away. He looked at me slightly upset.

"Well why the hell did you ask me the question then? Chase and I are far from being the best of friends." I was starting to get agitated with his attitude.

"Well I figured you had dealt with him before so maybe you would have an idea where he might hide."

"Aside from his dorm room, the only other place I can think of would be one of the Colony houses. Putnam barn was destroyed as you saw last night." I turned to look at my brothers, fully intent on ignoring Reid.

"Well what are we waiting for then," I said standing up. "Let's go check them out."

"Sounds good to me," Dean said as he jumped up and made his way to the door.

"I'm going to grab my bag and then we can head out." I left the kitchen with out looking at Reid once. He was going to learn that if he could be a jerk than I could be a bitch. I got to the room and checked to make sure I had everything. As I was zipping the bag up, I heard the door close behind me. "You should stay here." I turned to face Reid. "Get some more rest." I walked to the door. "Let us know if Chase leaves campus." My hand was on the doorknob when he grabbed my wrist. I pulled out of his grip.

"What the hell is going on with you Tex?" I shrugged.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." I made to grab he knob again when he pushed himself between me and the door. I looked at him and saw the anger in his eyes.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about Addison. What's with the attitude all the sudden? This morning you were spilling everything to me and now you're pushing me away?" The anger was replaced by hurt. I felt guilty, but then I got angry again.

"You were the one that copped the attitude first." He gave me a confused look. "Oh don't play dumb with me Reid. I asked you a simple question and you get snarky with me. And don't say it was a stupid question because it wasn't. You have dealt with Chase before and you have a slightly better idea of how he operates than us." My voice had risen, but I wasn't full out yelling at him. I was in his face and I realized I need to put some space between us.

Taking a couple of steps back, I turned my back to him and took a few deep breaths, willing the angry tears to go away. His hands slipped onto my shoulders and began to gently massage them. I fought against the urge to just relax in his gentle caresses, but failed. Even when I wanted to be furious at him, he could still get me to cave.

"I'm sorry Tex." He kissed the back of my head. "I don't have a good excuse, but I just…" I turned to look at him and saw the different emotions flash across his eyes and face. He took a breath before continuing. "I wanted to believe that he was just here for me, for my powers. That he was just using you to try and get to me, like he used Kate and Sarah to get at Pogue and Caleb. Now…" He stopped again. I brought my hand up to cup his cheek.

"Now what?," I asked softly.

"Now I'm not so sure what he's thinking. If he wanted my powers he more than likely would've tried to separate me from the others last night, but he didn't." I could see the tears forming as he tried to hold them back. He failed as one slipped out followed by another and another until they were freely falling down his face and collecting on my hand.

"And that scares me because the only other thing he seems to want besides power is one of the things that means something to me. You. I can't lose you Tex. I don't know how I could survive that." I brushed away his tears as more of mine started to fall. I smiled at him and swallowed the lump in my throat before I spoke.

"He's not going to get me. You want to know why?" He just looked at me. His face covered with a slightly lost and broken expression. "Because I have you to protect me, to keep me safe. And I have my brothers and Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler. You guys wouldn't let anything happen to me. Besides if Chase did get a hold of me he'd throw me right back because I would make his life a living hell." He chuckled a little and sniffled before placing a kiss against my forehead, then swooping down to my lips. He brushed away the few tears that lingered on my face.

"How did I end up with such an amazing girlfriend?"

"Sheer dumb luck," I said smiling at him. He returned it with a laugh.

"Probably so." He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear before stealing another kiss. "Come on let's get going." He grabbed my bag from me and walked towards the door. I gently grabbed his arm to stop him.

"I was kidding when I said I wanted you to stay here." His mouth dropped in shock, but it didn't take him long to shake out of it.

"I am not letting you go out there alone, especially if he leaves campus." The anger flared in his eyes again. I closed the distance between us and kissed him. Hen I pulled back to gently rub his arm, hoping I could calm him down. It seemed to be working a bit.

"I won't be alone. I'll be with my brothers. Besides you really do need to get some more rest. I want you to be on top of your game if Chase does decide to attack us head on." He scoffed.

"I'm always ready to go Tex." He pulled me to him and lightly grinding our hips together. "You should know that by now." I smirked at him, lightly running my hands across his chest.

"I know Ace. Believe me I know. Just please do this for me?" I initiated another kiss. This time making it a deep, passionate one. I wrapped my arms around his neck, gripping his hair in my hands. His came around my waist and pulled me tight against him. He groaned as my tongue invaded his mouth and began to duel with his. We pulled apart after a little bit, both panting.

"You trying to kill me, aren't you?" I could see the clouds of lust begin to fill his eyes.

"Maybe." I smiled slyly. "Please?" I pleaded with my eyes, pulling out my own puppy look. He caved. I had a huge smile on the inside. I didn't want him to change his mind because I had one and was rubbing it in. Looks like Sam taught me well.

"Alright Tex. I'll do it for you." I gave him a peck on the lips.

"Thank you ." We both smiled and just stared at each other for a bit. Then I sighed. "I better get down there." He nodded and picked my bag back up, since he dropped it during our kiss. We got downstairs and saw Sam waiting at the front door. We walked out to the Impala, where Dean and Mason were rifling through the trunk. Probably making sure we had everything we might need for our little recon mission.

Reid placed my bag in the trunk once Dean closed the secret compartment. I had seen the look on his face when he saw all the weapons we had stashed in there. It was actually quite funny. The guys pulled out a map and Reid proceeded to inform us of the location of the original houses of the five founding families.

"I wouldn't bother with the Danvers house though."

"Whys that?," Sam asked.

"Gorman their caretaker lives there. He can easily protect himself from Chase, so I highly doubt e would go there. Besides we were just there a couple of days ago and nothing was out of the ordinary." We nodded our heads in agreement deciding to skip Caleb's ancestral home. When the guys started talking strategy incase anything came, Reid pulled me off to the side. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close and started swaying a little.

"Do you really know how to use all those weapons?," he asked, nodding his head in the direction of the trunk. I blushed and nodded my head.

"Yeah. Does that freak you out?"

"A little intimidating, but also kind of hot," he said as he wiggled his eyebrows. I chuckled and playfully smacked his chest. A throat cleared behind us.

"You two coming or what?," Dean asked as he stood with the driver's side door open. Sam was in the back and Mason was in the passenger seat already.

"Reid's staying here to get some more rest."

"Aw what's the matter princess? Didn't get enough beauty sleep?" I could already since what Reid's retort was going to be so I cut him off before he gave Dean another reason to beat his ass.

"Can it Dean." I glared at him in warning. He just smirked and muttered a 'whatever.' I turned back to Reid. "Call us if Chase's status changes." He nodded his head.

"I will." He gave me a quick kiss and Dean started making gagging noises. I rolled my eyes.

"Ignore him. He is ten times worse with his flavor of the week." Reid just smirked at me, then his face became serious.

"Be careful."

"We always are." I gave him another quick peck before I headed to the Dean's side so I could climb in the back. I made sure to punch Dean in the stomach as I got in.

"That ones going to cost you Lil' Bit," he said as he took his position in the driver's seat. Starting up the engine, I turned to look at Reid as we pulled out of the drive. I was glad I had stuck to my guns and made him stay. He really did need the extra rest. Once I could no longer see him, I turned around and looked out the front windshield.

"I take it you solved your little tiff from this morning?," Dean remarked snottily.

"As a matter of fact we did," I said using the same tone as him. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Dean just leave it alone man," Sam said shaking his head at his brother's antics.

"Now why would I want to do that?"

"Because you're getting old and it won't be long before she can really kick your ass," he replied.

"That'll never happen Sammy. You want to know why?"

"Please enlighten us oh Great One," I said sarcastically. Sam and Mason snickered as Dean flipped me off.

"Because I'm to damn good," he answered smugly. Sam and I looked at each other. We both rolled our eyes as I made a gagging motion. No matter what happened, it seemed that Dean would always have an over inflated ego. We went to the house only to come up empty handed. Wherever Chase was hiding them, it was a good place. We had just finished with the last house when Reid called.

"Hey, everything okay?"

"Yeah everything is fine. The guys said Chase was in all his classes. You guys have any luck?"

"No. They were all a bust."

"I'm sorry Tex." I shrugged even though he couldn't see it.

"It's not your fault." I climbed into the back of the Impala once again. "So how do you feel?"

"Surprisingly better. I guess you were right." I smiled smugly at this.

"I'm always right Ace." Sam scoffed and mumbled a 'yeah right.' I smacked him on the arm.

"Sure Tex. You guys on your way back?"

"Yeah we're just pulling out of the Simms place."

"You coming back here? We were planning on going to Nicky's tonight to celebrate."

"I thought you were celebrating tomorrow?"

"We are. Party is still ago, but being cooped up all day I really need to get out." I chuckled at that.

"Why am I not surprised? Yeah I'll have the guys drop me off."

"Alright. See you in a bit Tex."

"Bye Ace." I hung up and Dean started in.

"Ace? What the hell kind of a nickname is that?"

"Shut up Dean."

"Seriously Lil' Bit, you couldn't have come up with something better."

"Dean," Sam said in a warning.

"Just leave her alone Winchester. I'm really getting sick of the two of you arguing." Dean remained silent after that. We were half way to Caleb's when Sam spoke up.

"So where are you two going tonight?"

"Just to Nicky's with the others," I stated. I knew it was no big deal. I figured the guys were probably going o show up anyway. I would just have to make sure Dean and Reid didn't place any bets on a pool game.

"Uh huh, and what's this celebration tomorrow?," Dean asked.

"He's having a party at his place tomorrow night. Most of Spencer will probably be there." They were silent and I was sure they were wanting to tell me not to go. Mason spoke up before the others could voice heir opinion.

"Just be responsible okay Pup?"

"Aren't I always?" We pulled up to Caleb's a couple of minutes later and I hopped out, saying goodbye to my brothers. Caleb's mustang was already there as well as Tyler's Hummer. When I rang the doorbell, Sarah answered.

"Hey Addison."

"Hey Sarah."

"We're just hanging out in the den." I followed her inside. Caleb was seated in an overstuffed chair. Sarah took a seat on his lap. Tyler and Reid were sitting on the couch. I took the empty space between them. Reid quickly threw his arm around me and pulled me to him.

"Where are Kate and Pogue?"

"They went into town to get some things. Pogue needed a new part for his bike and I'm not really sure what Kate needed." Caleb looked to Sarah to see if she knew the answer. She just shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm not sure. She said she was going to get a surprise."

"Well that can't be good," I said.

"You're probably right," Sarah admitted. We sat around chatting for a bit. I found out Reid had informed them of my brother's and mine suspicions and that we had gone the Colonial houses and came up with nothing. They then told me that Chase hadn't acted strange at all today. That was good. That meant he didn't know we were on to him yet. Around seven-thirty, Caleb got a call from Pogue and we left to meet them at Nicky's. We got there and, grabbed what I assumed was the usual table, as it had been the one we sat at the last couple of times I had been here with them. Kate and Pogue walked in soon after us. Kate had a huge smile on her face when she sat down.

"What are you smiling about?," I asked, grabbing a fry from Reid's basket. "Wait I take that back, I don't want to know." Kate lightly smacked my arm.

"Well I'm going to tell you anyway." I groaned afraid of what was going to come out of her mouth. The others just laughed.

"It's not like I'm going to talk about something that you and Reid haven't already done." I blushed when she said that and the rest of the table broke out into a loud laughter. I took a drink of my soda and Reid pulled me so that I was sitting in his lap.

"You know you're adorable when you blush," he said softly into my ear. I blushed more and his smile got bigger. Kate cleared her throat to gain our attention back.

"As I was about to say, I got our costumes."

"What costumes?," Sarah and I asked at the same time.

"The ones for Reid's party. Didn't he tell you?"

"Hmm, must've slipped my mind," he said casually. He looked at me with an innocent face.

"I'm sure it did." He just smirked. "So what am I going to have to wear now?"
