Here is another chapter.

When others see gloom, I see the world in silver-blues. When they see freezing rain, I see a coldness that brings me to a higher feeling of life, more aware of my internal flame. I see them cast their eyes to the ground, their mouth a full frown, when there is a moon above and stars beyond the canopy of cloud. There is a time for sunshine and time for wintry somber hues. Every dance has paused, every song has silence. And so this time, so soon after the dawn, feels more akin to an old movie, one that builds from these blues to the kind of joy that spreads through mind, body, and soul. And so I feel the ground beneath both boots, tilt my head skyward, both rooted in the blessed moment and ready for the spring that beckons.

Another day comes, things are not so tense now that the Son's knew and finally came to terms with what was about to come. Not only that but the now equal their girls have turned out to be, Pogue was thrilled to an extent but still overprotective, Tyler took it the best other than Caleb we all knew it was Reid who was the one fighting the fact Sarah was a witch now, it scared him the mere thought of her pale and cold like the barer of her power.

I just leave my room dressed for class, my Aunt just stood smiling at the bottom of the staircase her dark eyes locked on mine. "Here food, you are lost in thought," her voice was always so calm, it held power, it held wisdom not even my mothers did.

I answered her, "Always, and thank you," my smiling was what she wanted, she never could have a child of her own and treated me as if I was her own. The gloom stuck to everything as I drove off taking the path to the paved road at the end of the wroth iron gates. My eyes scanning the lush landscape in this expanse of green there are more hues than anyone has ever named, yet here they are for any eye to see. The land rolls as it always has as if it feels that time and space are one thing, that it rolls through the ages as much as to the horizon. Over it is laid a path, one that branches through the open landscape, and as I begin to drive faster there is a frisson of joy for all the choices to come, each one of them laden with discoveries.

The school was having some serious horror movie vibes this last week, the mist and fog clinging to the trees, the buildings, an, in fact, anything it could. The girls stood waiting with Chase and his sister Yasmine. I did not very much like Yasmine, she was self-centered and annoying at the best of times. "Hello everyone," smiling at them, trying to be upbeat and cheerful but I was tired, and every nerve ending was on fire.

Yasmine smiled back, "So, you landed Danvers. Sad…but we will see," she just stalked off pissy as we just laughed watching her, even Chase was laughing at her childish antics.

"She is not used to getting a firm no, not from anyone but me that is. Not going to lie little pissy myself, wanted to take you out but he was more man than me since he had the nerve to ask first," my heartbreaking, he was just the sweetest.

I hugged him, "Oh Chase, you should have asked. You are great and I would have said yes," but would I have? That was honestly up in the air, I may have he was great and good looking, but everything clicked with Caleb.

This made him smile as we strode into the school like a small pack of wolves, "Hey Chase," Caleb smiled down at him, he was maybe an inch taller but it was still taller, Chase just smiled back but something crossed his face. Bitter hatred, but as fast as it came it was gone and his normal cheery smile was back. His tone was even cheery and humorous, "Caleb, my god put a freaking bell on. You just shadow walk from the walls," I felt a cold chill run up my neck, I was being watched and sure enough, when I turned it was Yasmine.

"Your sister doesn't like me anymore, I am sorry if you being my friend is causing sibling issues," my hand grasping his, he latched on happy for the contact. Now his smile morphed into something new, hope and all that jazz. He just needed friends and maybe we girls could find him a suitable girlfriend. "Nope, she can get over it. It was funny to watch her get turned down by Caleb,"

Everyone laughed, well not Reid he just smirked as we each head to class once the bell rung.

After Science, I was alone with Reid while we waited to enter our shared History class. I hated he was ill-tempered and how it was now directed at me. my sigh caught his eye, "Reid, I am not sorry for what I have done. She was already in grave danger by being with you, we have many enemies. Now she at least can and will protect herself and be equal to you and there is power in that. Sarah, she loves you and you love her you can hate me but stop being so assholish to her," my eyes pleading with him, his face softened a little.

It took a few minutes, but he finally broke the silence. "I don't hate you, I respect you and the power you have. Sarah, she was out of my range at first she was with Caleb but she saw me, she is mine and the thought of her gone. Well…I will kill any who try and harm her. I have been childish which is normal for me and I owe you an apology, I am sorry Isla," we sealed it with a hug when Caleb's voice chimed in from behind.

"Why do I always find you in another mans arms?" but the humor was evident in his tone when I turned around, he was smiling. "I'm irresistible," my tone conveying the obvious.

"That is true," his strong warm arms wrap around me making me feel whole, but still it felt at times that I could break without them around me.

"See you after class," his lips pressed to my cheek as he bent down, "Well technically you will see me this class as yours intertwines," waggling his eyebrows the boys take off leaving us to head into the cool crystal clear water. It was pretty cool in my opinion to be able to swim daily and find out I am pretty good at it.

An hour later found my face hovering over Caleb's, he hit his head while he was doing his lap's. "Move back hun, we got him," Mr. Hiltop spoke moving me further back.

I felt it.

I turned to Pogue, "Someone used their powers, did you feel it at all?"

His face was grim, "A little,"

Chase's point of view…

Caleb should have just left her alone, she was destined to be mine.

He could have Yasmine but even she knew Caleb was going on a downfall. I would take his powers as I took my fathers and Yasmine took her mothers. I stare at her I hated it, I wanted her power but in the end, I wanted her so much more.

There she is. Mine. Her beauty, her midnight locks - a painting for my eyes alone. The night is the only time I can be with my love, catching a whiff of her sweet and subtle scent, drowning me as she dreams. Some nights I calm the excitement in my soul to prevent waking my precious sleeping beauty. One day I won't be a mysterious guy loving her from the shadows, I will be her lover and she will be mine. I will be the one to marry her, make love to her, and she will bare my children. She will be mine to love, forever. Oh, how sweet that will be.
