Chapter 28

Riley struggled helplessly against the spears. She tried to force them out of her body with her power. She was fighting a losing battle, Chase kept pushing them back in once they came close to being out. Riley locked eyes with Tyler as she cried out in pain. She could see the idea forming in his head. The words forming on his lips. "No! Tyler don't!" Riley yelled as Tyler spoke quickly.

"I will you my power," Tyler yelled before Chase could stop him. The sky darkened as Tyler's head tilted back and the power flowed out of him. Thunder rumbled loudly as lightning struck Riley forcing the spears out her body and pulling her up into the air.

Tyler's head fell down to his chest, his body going limp. Reid screamed himself hoarse yelling at Tyler, pleading with him to come back. Pogue shook with rage at Chase for causing this, if Riley didn't finish it then he would. Tears slid down Caleb's face as he looked from Tyler to Riley. This wasn't supposed to happen.

Chase rolled over and looked at Riley. The lightning had stopped but she was still in the air. "You are going to pay for this," Riley said. Riley launched herself at Chase colliding with him and creating a deep ditch in the ground. She pulled back quickly and held up her hand as a spear flew into it.

"What are you going to do with that Riley?" Chase questioned as he threw a ball of energy at her.

The energy hit Riley in the chest, but she simply slid back a foot. "This," she replied as she turned quickly and launched the spear through the air. It lodged in Chase's chest going straight through his heart. Riley waved her hand at the guys releasing them from Chase's power.

Caleb, Pogue, and Reid slid to the ground and quickly made their way over to Tyler. They crouched around his body as they watched Riley prepare to finish it with Chase.

Riley looked up at the sky, without moving a single muscle she made the sky grow even darker. "You remember what happened to the witches in Salem Chase?" Riley asked him staring at him menacingly. "They burned."

Lightning flashed across the sky striking Chase causing him to burst into the flames. Riley looked away as the young man burned, placing her hands over her ears to block out the screams.

When Riley looked back there was nothing left but a pile of ash, which quickly became dust in the wind. It was over, Chase was gone and there was no way he could come back from this. Riley's legs gave out and she collapsed on the ground, sobbing loudly.

Caleb raced over to Riley and pulled her into his arms. Pogue and Reid moved away from Tyler's body, both not wanting to believe that he was gone. Pogue buried his head in his hands as tears slid angrily down his face. He wasn't a crier but for baby boy he could cry for days. Reid pounded his fists against the ground sobbing hoarsely.

They were all to caught up in the grief to notice Tyler's chest lifting slowly up and down. "Why are you guys crying? Chase is dead we should be celebrating," Tyler demanded as he sat up.

Pogue and Reid's heads both snapped up at the sound of Tyler's voice. Caleb and Riley pulled apart looking at Baby Boy with astonishment. They all rushed him at the same time hugging him and demanding explanations.

"I don't get it you willed me your power how are you still alive," Riley said as she hugged her cousin tightly.

"Yeah you should be dead as a doornail right now," Reid said slugging Tyler on the shoulder.

"You ever do anything like that again baby boy and I'll kill you," Pogue said as he ruffled Tyler's hair.

"Seriously though how are you still alive?" Caleb asked.

Tyler looked at them all before answering. "You guys really don't get it do you? I haven't ascended yet, that means that my life isn't tied to the power. I can will it away without dieing."

They all sat there stunned. None of them fully understood why it had worked, but they were all grateful that it had. Riley looked at each of the guys and smiled a real smile for what felt like the first time in days.

"I'm glad that you are ok Ty, you scared me half to death with that stunt of yours," Riley said hugging her cousin tightly. "Are you sure you're ok?"

"I'm fine, but what about you? Are you hurt," Tyler demanded pushing Riley back so he could see if she severely injured.

Riley and Caleb's eyes flashed to black at the same moment, as Riley's battered and bruised appearance disappeared. "I'm fine now," Riley said before jumping up and returning the backyard to its original state. "Now come on we have a swim meet to get to."

AN: I told you everything would be ok! Let me know what you think please! Especially about a sequel!! Review people!!
