Before I could ask him what he meant by 'something else too', Chad's cell phone rang. He fumbled around in his pocket then pulled it out. "Shit, it's my girlfriend...do not make a sound." But Chad didn't give me the benefit of the doubt, before he answered the call he tightly held his hand over my mouth.

"Hey babe, what's up?"

"Oh, have you been calling me? I just left a party, the music was so loud I guess I didn't hear it ring...something wrong? You're not usually up this late."

I swear to God if I didn't know he was a witch, and something else...I would assume he has severe bi-polar disorder. The normalcy in his voice as he has this conversation was astounding.

"I'm sorry Chelsea, I can't come over now. I'm sort of in the middle of something."

"Yes I know I said I just left a party, but I just got a page from the hospital. Patient needs emergency heart surgery. It's probably going to take hours. I'll just give you a call tomorrow."

"I knew you'd understand, love you too."

With that he hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket, releasing his hand from my mouth.

"Dumb bitch thinks I'm a doctor...I swear blondes really are stupider, nice tits though." He said as if he and I were old buddies shooting the shit.

"What did you mean when you said you were something else?"

"Look at you Nancy Drew trying to get secrets out of me. That information is on a need to know basis, and you don't really need to know that yet. So why don't we change the subject...let's talk about you. I don't really know much about you."

"Well, I would prefer to keep it that way. I guess you should have thought of that before you decided to impregnate me you dumb shit."

I barely finishing the sentence before he grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked my head back forcing me to stare at him.

"When are you going to comprehend that having an unpleasant attitude will get you no where. You're a girl...a human. I'm neither of those things and all I have to do is blink and your world will be turned upside down."

"I'm not sure it can be turned upside down anymore than it already is. The way I see it, I have nothing more to lose. So don't expect me to get stockholm syndrome anytime soon, you're the scum of the earth and I intend on letting you know that any chance I get."

"Nothing more to lose? You're still breathing...so I would say you have a lot more to lose." He released my hair and put his hand around my neck, gently.

"So kill me then, what are you waiting for? Oh...right, if I die...so does your son. I guess you're the one in a pickle now."

He smiled at me, then lifted his hand from my neck and grabbed my jaw. He held my face and kissed me. Not a forceful, violent kiss. A soft, gentle one.

Chad stood up from the floor and pulled me up with him as if I were a rag doll.

"As much as I hate to compliment anyone, I do have to say I like your spunk. Most girls would be crying, huddled in the corner by now. Not you though, there's a fire inside of you. It makes you even sexier than you already are."

"And you make me want to gauge out my eyeballs."

"See what I mean...spunk, I love it."

"Reid is gonna find me you know. He's gonna be looking for me."

Chad laughed..."I know he's going to find you, I'm gonna make it very easy for him to find you. And then when he gets here, I'll show him the tape...we'll break the news to him about our son. He might throw a bit of a temper tantrum, which I'll take care of. And then he'll get over you, he'll forget all about you, and we can live happily ever after..."

"You're delusional. Down right delusional. He's not going to believe that I had sex with you willingly, tape or no tape. You have me blindfolded for Christ's sake. And Chad...I will stab myself in the stomach before I ever give birth to any child of yours. This isn't Rosemary's baby. This is real life. You can do whatever the fuck you want to me, but trust me...there will never be a happily ever after where you and I are concerned. You said you were something other than a witch. You didn't bring that up by accident, you did it on purpose. Tell me what you meant."

"Ashford, why is the cellar door unlocked? It's never unlocked." Charlotte asked her husband suspiciously.

"Chad was by earlier, he must have been up there." He responded while flipping through the channels on his TV.

"What could he have wanted in the attic?"

"I'm not sure..."

"Well, he just walked in the house and went up to the attic? The attic hasn't been unlocked in years. He's hardly even been back here since he has moved out."

"I don't know why he was here, Charlotte." Ashford said to his wife, nervously.

"Ashford, what are you not telling me?"

"Nothing, nothing...I don't know what he wanted."

"You're lying to me. Tell me what he was doing here!"

Ashford sighed, knowing his wife was not going to handle this well.

"He...he came by earlier asking me about the Twylo. I told him we didn't have it anymore, but he's stronger than me now. I tried to stop him, but I couldn't, he used his powers against me. He took the Twylo and left."

Charlotte had to sit down before she collapsed. "Who would he want to use the Twylo on?"

"I dont know, I tried to ask him but he wouldn't answer me."

"God damn you Asfhord! You did this to him. You turned my son into a monster!!"

Ashford kept quiet and let his wife yell. He knew how she felt about him, and he knew she was right. He lived a life so destructive he was now in the body of a 70 year old man and he was barely 45. Chad learned everything from him. All of his destructive, evil, malicious qualities, he got from his father. Now, with his body no longer able to cooperate the way it used to, Ashford had a lot of time to think about the life he lead. And it's true, Chad is not only following in his fathers footsteps, he is re-defining the meaning of evil.

"Clearly you can't do a thing to stop him. You can barely feed yourself! It's time I take care of this like I should have years ago."

With that Charlotte stood up and grabbed her coat.

"Charlotte don't! He will hurt you, you know he will!"

"Then let him hurt me, but I will not sit back another second while he destroys lives!"

And with that Charlotte left. She didn't have a clue where to start, but she knew she had to do something.

"Didn't you ever hear the phrase curiosity killed the cat?" Chad said playfully as he ran his hand up and down my leg

"Didn't you ever hear the phrase choke and die?" I responded

"Hmm, no I don't think I ever have. But I'll be sure to use it next time I want someone to choke and die..."

His hand rested on my extreme upper thigh, very, very close to an area of my body that I wanted his hand no where near. My heart began to race again, but I tried to hold my composure.

"You know it's kind of cute that you're trying to act so tough. Your heart is pounding, I can hear it. You see, my kind...we have very sensitive hearing. I could literally hear a pin drop. Your heart sounds like a bongo drum right now."

"Your kind? So you're just going to keep slipping in these little comments but not tell me what any of them mean..."

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do. "

I remained silent for the next few minutes. Chad texted with one hand, and kept his other in the same uncomfortable spot.

"Can I at least get dressed, I'm cold."

He didn't look up from his phone, he kept texting and shooed me away with his other hand.

I quickly got up and hurried to where my clothes laid in a pile on the floor. I picked them up and headed for the door, but before I could blink he would blocking it.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To find a bathroom and get dressed."

"Nice try, you will get dressed right here."

"But I..."

"But nothing, I'm not letting you out of my sight. If you want to get dressed, go right ahead...but don't try to be brave."

I stared at him for a second before I gave in. I walked to the furthest end of the room and hesitantly dropped the sheet. As expected Chad made sure to make it as uncomfortable as possible for me, staring at me with a grin on his face.

"You're a real asshole."

"If I had a nickel everytime a girl called me that...I'd be richer than I already am."

I quickly put my clothes on, and the second I did I felt a vibrating in the pocket of my sweater. My phone was in there. But how could I get to it without him seeing. He'll have to sleep eventually right? I mean Reid sleeps and he's a witch. I'm sure even the supernatural, whatever the fuck he may be has to sleep at some point. I'll just have to wait it out...

Only minutes had passed since Tyler ran inside to get the boys. They were now all outside huddled around Reid who was clearly on the brink of falling apart.

"Come on, we have to go to the barn." Caleb said, breaking the silence.

"I went to the barn already, she's not there.."

"I know she's not there, but there has to be something there that can help us find her. Otherwise we'll just be roaming around aimlessly, we'll waste more if we do that."

Reid nodded his head and the boys walked over to Tyler's truck to head over the barn.

Charlotte didn't know where she was driving. She didn't now where to look or where he could be. She called Chad's phone a number of times, but he didn't answer...she knew he wouldn't. The only place she can possibly think of going to try to find an answer was the barn. She knew she shouldn't be there alone, but she had no choice. She was clueless...it was her only hope.

The boys parked the car outside the barn and spotted an unfamiliar car parked about 20 feet away. A black phantom with a license plate that said WHTMOR. There was no way. There was no way Chad could have brought Christine here. But it had to be his car, who else would have their license plate spell out the last name Whitmore.

The boys quietly huddled by the door. They made their way in, each one of them ready to go if they had to. Like ninjas, they followed each other one by one, Reid leading the pack, down the stairs of the barn.

They heard ruffling around, and on the count of three Reid kicked the door in, not expecting who was standing in front of him.

"Mrs. Whitmore? What are you doing here? Where is Chad!!" Reid demanded. Under any other circumstance, he had always been extremely respectful to her, he didn't have the patience to be respectful right now.

Caleb pushed past the boys and stood in front of Reid, not that he would...but he wanted to make sure he didn't do anything to harm her.

"Boys...I, I know I shouldn't be here...But something terrible has happened, or is going to happen...I, I don't know where Chad is. But we have to find him."

"What do you mean? What's going to happen?" Caleb asked, as the rest of the room remained silent.

"He came home today. I wasn't there. Ashford told me...He, he took Twylo. I don't know who he is planning on using it on, but I came here to try to stop him."

A look of confusion and disbelief crossed the face of each of the boys.

"Twylo? Twylo doesn't even exist anymore. It hasn't been around in hundreds of years." Pogue answered.

"That's not entirely true. Ashford's family has always had a handful of leaves. It hasn't been used in hundreds of years, but they have had them. I don't know why, but now Chad has it. I don't know who he could possibly want to use it on, but whoever it is...I, I just can't let it happen."

Reid had to sit down, he was dizzy, he couldn't even see straight.

Caleb dropped his head in his hands, Tyler and Pogue looked as if they had just seen a ghost.

"You know? You know who the girl is?" Charlotte asked, scared to hear the answer.

Reid was holding back the anger and the tears. He looked up at Charlotte.

"The mother of my child."
