Thank you to those that reveiwed the last chapter, i hope you enjoy this one.

Out of the Water.

The room was a blur of activity, the room was tense with worry and uncertainty, Caleb was pacing back and fourth, every now and then stopping and staring at the row of books in front of him, before he would once again begin to pace the length of the room.

Tyler was sat on one of the posts, watching him with a weary eye, he was worried there was no doubt about that, he could feel the power radiating of him. It was something in which Caleb had yet to control, his powers when he was feeling an overwhelming emotion. Turning his gaze he glanced over at Pogue and Reid who were both leaned against opposite walls, Pogue staring in the direction of his best friend, his brow creased in worry. And Reid was staring down at the floor in front of him, every now and then lifting his gaze to search the room, before once again dropping his head, his blond hair falling over his face, stopping Tyler from seeing any emotion on his face.

Cracking his knuckles he continued to look on, each and every one of them was worried beyond means, it had not only scared both Tyler and Caleb when they had thought it was Chase, but it had brought back to many memories. Half of Tyler almost wished that it had been Chase, they could deal with Chase, now that two of them had ascended and Caleb with his father's powers, there would be know way that Chase would beat them, it would have been easy to get rid of him a second time.

"Did you get anything else from him?" Caleb questioned finally stopping his pacing long enough so he could look down at Tyler. Tyler lifted his gaze, looking up at Caleb, he looked drawn and tired. Tyler just wished he could tell them something anything, which would make them all stop worrying so much.

"Nah man, but his power, ive felt power before but this, it was pure, undiluted" He shrugged his shoulders, not being able to tell him anything else. Truth be told, he could still feel the power cursing through his body, and the thing had only moved past him, he hated to think what it would be like being in the same room with it.

"Know one can live with that kind of power" Reid spoke from his corner, finally lifting his gaze to look at them all. It was true; it was after all why the power finally ended up killing the person who held the power. It was seductive, and there was only so long in which someone could ignore something as seductive as the power.

"I don't know what to tell you man, but I felt it, hell I can still feel it, this thing what ever it is, is powerful, more powerful then Caleb or Chase" Tyler stated softly, looking over at Caleb as he spoke the last bit. Caleb ran a hand over the back of his neck tilting it to the side to bring back feeling. Biting his lip he tried to think everything through but he mind was just too much of a haze to get anything through.

"If this thing is posing as Chase, we've got to believe that it has Chase's memories' if it truly is evil then its going to try and finish what Chase started, we need to talk to the girls, because its more then likely to go after them again"

It killed Caleb to think let alone say the last part of his sentence, Sarah had become his world in the short period to time, it had killed him to nearly loose her that first time, but knowing how powerful Tyler said this thing was, the thought terrified this time, because he knew that it could very well happen.

Pogue looked up, wincing at the idea of talking to Kate, that hadn't really spoken since he had gotten with Skye and he was unsure of how she would take the whole thing. After all the fact that they were all warlocks freaked her out to know end, he knew telling her that some evil thing, that they had know idea what it was, was more then likely to go after her was going to freak her out even more.

"What if this thing doesn't want to finish of what Chase Started?" Every one turned to look at Reid, their brows raised, waiting for him to continue. It was well known hat Reid just like Caleb and the rest of them would die to ensure the covenant lived on, even though he was reckless with his powers, when it came to his family, he was as sane and level headed as they came.

"What do you mean?" Tyler questioned looking over at his closest friend. Reid lowered his gaze, shaking his head, he didn't want to speak what was on his mind, because it meant more trouble for them, more trouble for their family, but it was the only thing that made sense.

"I mean, what if this thing is only posing as Chase because it knows it would freak us out. But its agenda here is something far worse"

Caleb sucked in a breath, he had been thinking the same thing and he had been avoiding saying it, it truly was the one thing that made sense, Chase was just the disguise, hiding his true nature and purpose for being there. Cracking his neck he sighed, it looked like once again he was going to be in the leader's seat, trying to keep them all alive from a threat they knew nothing about.

"Ok right now we need to keep our eyes peeled, we research, try and figure out what this thing is, and we keep the girls at our sides at all costs,"


"This happen a lot?" Skye questioned looking over at Sarah. Sarah let out a puff of breath and shook her head. She knew Skye was still adjusting to the fact that her boyfriend was a super warlock, and knew that the added bad guy was making her a little nervous.

"There was the thing with Chase last year, but other then that it's been quiet" Sarah replied clicking play on the DVD. The boys had brought them both back to Caleb's manor, he hadn't wanted to leave either of them alone, and October had gone back to New York so she was reasonably safe.

"Its weird, guess cause I wasn't there with the Chase thing, never realized just how serious things could get" Skye replied tucking her legs under herself, Sarah looked over at her, and nodded her head in understanding.

"I know what you mean," Sarah turned to the TV, she was worried about Caleb she had see the look in his eyes, and it worried her, she had never seen that look before, even when Chase had kidnapped her, he had never lost his cool, not really, but now, there was an edge to him, that almost frightened her.

"Tyler's going to have to tell October" Skye spoke breaking Sarah from her thoughts. Sarah turned to her, nodding her head in agreement, it wasn't fair on October, Sarah saw the way they looked at each other, they were clearly in love, he had to tell her, or stay away from her, it was going to be his choice which he did.

"Things are going to get worse aren't they" Skye questioned, worry in her voice, she had seen the looks on the son's faces, had seen just how serious things were.

"Yea, yea they are"

And the plot thickens, I wanted to leave it with the sons, but it was two short, I know this chapter is still shorter then what I normally do, but I think it was good to end where I did. It would have just dragged on and took from the feeling of the chapter.
