The Beginning
Chapter 5
Bella's POV
After I woke up in Sarah and Kate's dorm room, we left for the hospital. I sat on Pogue's left side in the chair, while Caleb stood on his right. I could feel Pogue hurting, from his head to his toes. I hated this. This needed to end. Chase needed to be stopped. I jumped when Pogue gasped awake.
"Hey, hey. Take it easy." Caleb told him softly. Pogue tried to whisper something to him.
"What?" Caleb asked leaning down.
"Stay away. He's more powerful than you can imagine." He whispered.
"Hey, don't worry. Don't worry about that." Caleb said.
"We can't stop him." He mumbled. I touched his arm softly.
"Yeah, we can and we will. I promise." I told him. He fell back asleep. Caleb sighed and walked over to me.
"Come out here for a second." He whispered. I got up and followed him out into the hall.
"How is he?" Tyler asked us.
"He's hurt pretty bad. Where's Sarah?" Caleb said rubbing his face.
"Waiting room." He answered.
"I say we all go after Chase. Right now." Reid said angrily. Caleb slapped the side of his arm.
"Listen, it may not be that easy. You guys stay here with Pogue. Call me if there's any change." He said walking out. I sniffled and looked down at the floor.
"He's telling her. Everything." I told Reid and Tyler.
"Why?" Reid asked.
"He trusts her." I said shrugging. I went back into Pogue's room and sat down. I checked in on Kate every couple of hours. I leaned against the bed and fell asleep. I felt a surge go through me. I jolted awake and looked around hospital room. Pogue was gone. I jumped up and ran around the hospital.
"No. No. Someone help me! Help me, please!" I screamed out. I heard his laugh. A wave of fire came out of nowhere which caused me to wake up. I sat up gasping for air. I jumped again when a hand touched me. It was Reid and Tyler.
"Bella? Hey, hey. It's okay, it's just a nightmare." Tyler whispered to me.
"But. But Pogue. He wasn't. He." I said looking at him. He was still sleeping.
"Come on. We need to get you home. Before they put you in the padded room." Reid said rubbing my arms. I stood up, kissed Pogue's cheek and we drove to the Danvers Manor. We all decided to go to the Fall Fest to see if Chase would pull anything in front of the humans. I was applying the finishing touches to my makeup when someone knocked on my door. I waved my hand and it opened. Sarah walked in.
"Bella? Uhm. Caleb said, uh, you might be able to lend a hand with the hair and makeup." She said nervously. I got up and motioned for her to sit down. She came over and sat down. It was a nice, quiet few minutes.
"You don't like me dating your brother, do you?" She asked me.
"Why do you ask?" I asked.
"I get that feeling." She said shrugging.
"You want the truth?" I asked. She nodded and bit her lip.
"Honestly, it's not that I don't like you dating my brother. There is something about you, and it bothers me. I don't like it." I told her. She nodded and looked at her hands.
"I really like your brother." She said.
"Good." I said. I finished her makeup and hair then she got dressed. Her dress was a golden silky dress. Mine was a red color dress. We walked down the stairs to the others.
"You look beautiful my dear." She told Sarah. I walked over to Reid and Tyler. My mother usually ignored me, since I wasn't her special human daughter.
"Ready?" Caleb asked. We nodded and all walked out to the cars. I sat behind Reid on the passenger side ignoring Caleb and Sarah have their moment. Caleb opened the door and Sarah got in.
"Be careful. I'll call you." He said. He shut the door and we left. We parked in the school parking lot and headed for the gym. I felt someone use. We stopped outside the doors. I looked around. I could feel him close by but I couldn't tell where he was.
"Hey, any sign of him?" I heard Caleb ask Reid.
"No." Reid told him. The feeling of Chase close went away.
"Good. I'm on my way. If he does show, please promise me, you won't do anything stupid. How's Sarah doing? Can I talk to her?" He said sighing.
"Yeah sure. Hold on." Reid said. He went to hand her the phone but she was gone.
"He's got her." I said looking around.
"Caleb? Caleb?" Reid asked concerned. I looked at him as he hung up the phone.
"Somethings happened." He said. I looked around again then sighed.
"Stay here. He's got her! I'm going to help Caleb." I said running off. I jumped in the Hummer and headed to the Old Putnam Barn. Driving there I could feel the hits Caleb was taking. I pulled behind Caleb's car and jumped out. I ran to the old barn. When I ran in, Caleb was ascending. I could feel the power coursing through him.
"Just say the words." Chase told Caleb.
"Screw you." I said. Chase turned around and I flung him back into the loft above. He grunted. I saw Sarah floating behind Caleb. Chase laughed as he got back up.
"Big mistake coming to help big brother." He growled. He threw a Powerball and I dodged it. I threw him every which way I could and he did the same. When I saw Caleb was done ascending, I threw Chase outside the barn and ran to Caleb. I fell beside him.
"Bella." He grunted. I nodded, held out my hand and fought the spell Chase had on Sarah.
"Go. Get her out of here. I can hold him off." I said panting.
"No." He said shaking his head.
"GO! She needs you, Caleb! Go!" I yelled. He grabbed Sarah, I put a shield around them, and they ran out. I was thrown through the wall. I grunted when I landed. I looked up and I saw the fire. I felt the déjà vu. I looked down at my dress. It was bloodied red. Like my dream. I got up and fought Chase.
"You don't give up do you!" He chuckled at me. Chase threw me into a pile of old wooden crates. I felt the stabbing of a few pieces of wood everywhere. I pushed my way out and groaned.
"You messed with the wrong persons sister." I heard Caleb say. I looked up and he was standing in the doorway. Chase got the upper hand of their fight and threw Caleb outside. I grunted as I felt Caleb's pain. I climbed out and hit Chase from the side. He growled and held out his hand. He levitated me.
"You're really starting to piss me off!" He growled. Then he threw me outside. I landed near the old wagon. I rolled over and groaned. I didn't know how much more I could take. Chase was knelt over Caleb.
"Say the words! Say it!" Chase growled.
"I." He growled.
"I." Caleb repeated.
"Will you." He continued.
"Will you." He repeated. I grunted as I stood up. My body felt like one huge bruise.
"Take mine! My powers are stronger than his! I gain power, I get more powerful! Take mine, Chase!" I yelled. He looked at me, then Caleb kicked him back. Chase flung his hands out and hit me one last time. I fell to the cold, wet ground underneath the big tree. I had to fight, one last time. I could feel my body weakening as I got up. I remember reading somewhere when we were younger, once the first born girl into one of the 5 families, she was to be the protector of all 5 families. I was the protector and that's what I had to do now, protect my brother. As I limped towards them, I felt a change. Thunder hit above. A piece of me left. Dad. I screamed as I felt dads life slip away. He was giving it up. Caleb and Chase ran all over the field. I was hit again. I landed back first against the wagon. I got up, grunting, and flung my hands out at Chase. He caught my power ball. He smirked, threw it at Caleb, who caught it. Thunder and lightening hit. I saw it flash in Chase's eyes when Calebs ball got bigger. He knew it was over.
"I will you my power." I heard Chase mumble.
"No." I gasped. I felt the burning. The power build up in my finger tips. I screamed in pain and collapsed on the ground. I rolled onto my back and let it take over.
"Bella! Bella!' I heard Caleb yell. I groaned as he picked me up. Everything was hurting now.
"Hey, hey. You stay with me, okay?" He said crying.
"Caleb." I said shakily.
"Shh, it's okay. I'm right here." He said nodding. I lifted my hand and touched his cheek. I saw the blood on my hand.
"First girls born into a family are the protectors of them. I did my part. I tried too, at least." I said coughing. He held my hand that was on his cheek. It was getting colder quicker.
"Caleb. It's okay. It's." I said. I felt myself slipping. Then darkness took over.
