The ghost was more silent than the grave it arose from, staring with heavy-lidded eyes and a slack mouth. Her cheekbones accentuated the skeletal look and in her gaze, my mind was robbed of emotion. Instead of running, or screaming I stood more still than the mossy statue in the heart of the graveyard and just as cold. She beckoned with fingers that rapidly faded to only a suggestion of form. I passed each stone without taking account of the path until I stood in an unrecognizable place. She became more solid again, but this time her skin bore many silver scars, thick and jagged. I began to think about new things. The nightmare is more of a night terror because it feels as if I might die from the pain in my brain, I am desperately trying to wake up, screaming for help, yet nobody comes.

But I wake, out of my abysmal nightmare. My cheeks were wet, and my body was bathed in a cold sweat. The sheets were twisted around limbs, probably because I was thrashing in my sleep. My heart pounded against my chest. I trembled. The room was entirely dark. No light anywhere. I breathed trying to control myself, 'It was just a dream, all a dreams and dreams can't hurt me," they couldn't and this I knew bad dreams came just as much as good dreams, but this nightmare came as a shock as every night my dreams have been odd.

Chase, he was in nearly every dreams either in a sexual way or just hanging out playing pool and laughing as we had before. I just rolled to see the clock hitting three in the morning and before I could let out a ragged breath my cell was going off. It was Caleb, "Are you okay?"

I was worried about this, "I'm fine, just a nightmare a strong one but just a nightmare," only our breathing is heard. "How did you know?" I finally asked him.

He retorted, "I just did, or knew something was affecting you. Do you want me to come over, I will just say the word," his voice was sinful and deep, it could cause such a response in any female.

I didn't even think before the words came out, "Yes, I do," he hung up and knowing him he was already driving over to my Aunt's. He either knew I would or hoped I would and either was fine. Because maybe for one night he could keep the dreams at bay the nightmares and the odd ones. I just quickly remake my bed before sensing him arriving and it only confirmed my theory, he was already on his way probably in worry. With a water bottle in hand I walked to the door smelling the essential oils lingering, my guess was sweet orange. My bare feet padding on the very chilled marble tile leading to the entranceway, but there he was when the door opened, and his hand raised in mid-air. "Come in," I offered in a weak tone, I was drained and beyond tired as of late. Caleb, he just sweeps me off my feet carrying me through the manor and up the front stairs that led to my room, I just rest my head on his shoulder taking in his scent.

My room was dark as we just lay together limbs intertwined together, his fingers moving my hair back as he hummed. "The dance is in a week, will you go with me?" like he even had to ask, but my heart fluttered as I kissed his chin.

"I would love too,"

We never went back to sleep just had a lay in until Pogue called his voice set in panic. Like a tornado I was dressing and running from the room with him at the door, Kate was in the hospital in a coma. The thoughts are accelerating inside my head. I want them to slow so I can breathe but they won't. My breaths come in gasps and I feel like I will blackout. My heart is hammering inside my chest as if it belongs to a rabbit running for its skin. I had to calm and fast, I was the leader and being this weak was not going to look good. I had lost these ladies once and it was like a flashback coming true again.

Together we walked into Ipswich General, "She is in room 510," Tyler and Billie wait for us, I give Billie a single look and she returned it with a simple head nod.

"What happened?"

Billie answered, "She was feeling ill and then she fainted,"

They couldn't figure out what has happened, for now, they run some test, but the moment the nurse's and doctors vanished to give us some family time. I moved forward my hands running over her, the soft glowing white light spread over her. My breath came out ragged, "A Creation spell, spiders. Has Kate been saying anything about spiders?"

Sarah gasped, "We both have seen them in the dorm, having nightmares about them,"

I gave a look to the boys, "Reid and Tyler take the girls to my Aunts and explain, they will be safe there. The manor is can only be entered by someone with good intentions. Pogue and Caleb, the only way a Creation spell can be fully dissolved is the death of the creator of the spell, whoever cast it. Right now we do not know who has done this," Knowing Pogue was about to go off half-cocked looking for a fight.

I continued, "Pogue, you will get your chance but right now you can just up and leave her, we are very and I mean very lucky whoever it was didn't know she was now a witch," my tone level trying to get him to understand all this was necessary right now, Caleb just pulls him to the side.

I sit next to her, our hands held while I chanted seeing the faint peach glow surround her. "What are you doing. Love?" I never answered just continued to chant in Latin, an old family spell, it would help but not fix the creation spell.

But one by one mini-spiders crawled from her skin until the sores are open and healing. I sighed feeling much like crap, "I was draining the spell, I can do it again in a few hours. Whoever did this might not know about loopholes, I imagine I can do this until it is fully drained and she wakes but than a strong chance it will just happen again until the person dies, the one who created it," my eyes bore into the grateful ones of Pogue who pulled me clean off the chair in a bear hug nearly breaking my fragile ribs.

"I can't lose her, you can't either," he was right as I kissed his cheek. "We will not lose her,"

It hit me but I say nothing, I know who they're when everything clicked into place. "Watch over her," I say leaving before either could grasp anything. I just had to protect him knowing he was so strong but with his ascension days away, he was going to live until then.

Autumn days wane toward the inevitable colder weather ahead, each nightfall coming sooner than the one before. I have no choice as I see Pogue's yellow 2005 Kawasaki NINJA 500R, not good with cars but now a motorcycle was up my ally as with a simple cock of the head it roared to life and I took off seeing the angry face of Pogue watching me steal this beast.

The park is awash with the multi-colored offerings of the trees and the commuters wrap their coats around themselves tighter instead of allowing them to flap in the breeze. I was heading to her, she was the first one my list and soon I would find out if I was at all right. The bike was like a wet dream with the handling when I pulled into the school where she was chatting up Fiona and Kira, who my guess is the human equivalent to Yasmine who was smiling this bright ass fake shit smile right at me, her hand waving in the air.

Before her or her two lacks could blink I was on her, screaming as my fist hit her nose first hearing the sick crack. Kira and Fiona vanish running to get help for their friend who was now being dragged to a better location. Her vile screams making people watch us with worried eyes, but soon enough I tossed her into the Garden shack the place the student's stored seeds and such. Her small body flinging into the sacks of soil. "Yasmine, your time has run out,"

She snarled her eyes shifting to red, as I was much faster her body bound to the wall, molding around her. Her hands plastered to the wall, "Try again, you should have gone after me first you and that other reject," I moved around her, her eyes feral as she watched me.

"You are not the target just Danvers for now, my brother has great plans for you. How easy it was to kill those little bitches," it hit a nerve but right now I remained cool and calm losing my shit would come.

I smiled, "So says you, I mean we would have welcomed you back home as you are not your ancestors. But hell you chose this, you're going to die and very soon. I assume you're talking about Chase, and that pains me I truly liked him,"

I freed her before I tackled her, but a vortex opened up and we stood in some random abandoned house. "I will give you a sporting chance to kill me, Yasmine. You fail and you will die here, Chase doesn't care for you, we would have a sister in this never-ending battle," I cooed as she snarled at me but it was lacking the vigor it once held. In that frozen second between the standoff and fighting, I see Yasmine's eyes flick from me to the door. Our faces are unreadable, no fear, no invitational smirk. I am banking on her making the mistake I predicted she would, and she did.

She sends a blast right at me but I deflect it sending it into the wall causing it to crumble, the dust flew around us. I was going to bring this house down around us, I asked her. 'Was it you who cast the Creation spell on my sister," I was perched on the banister watching her through the dust starting to settle.

She was for the first time scared he wasn't going to come and save her, I reacted the shimmering ball knocked her through the wall with me hot on her tail. Her body was struggling to raise she was not powerful, not trained he counted on that, she could never rise against him. The house groaned as she coughed, blood spilling from her lips. She giggled, "Chase did, he is going to kill them all and steal their power. But not you Isla, he thinks you belong to him," I smiled down at her, "Sad, now you die instead of joining the sisters," my hand in the air as her face turned red…purple…blue…and last was gray.

Yasmine was gone, I gave my sisters half of our vengeance now to find Chase, but he was linked to her he would be forced to come. I resume my perch on the thin rail of the banister, my hand braced on the railing waiting for him to arrive.

He walked in stepping over Yasmine, she meant little to him he was about furthering his own goals. "Isla, please come out. I do not want to hurt you, I never would want that, I left you alone in Salam when you were to be the first to go. Please, come out," he was sincere at least.

I spoke, "Chase, you have killed my sisters and now are targeting the Son's. Why do you think I will willingly come to you," his eyes traveled to me, I was not hidden in any way.

He smirked, "You have to, you were once promised to the descent of Hagen Goodwin Pope, and here I stand. I will kill Kate, Sarah, and last little Billie. But not after your beloved Danvers will's me his share of the power. Now get down here," his face once so caring shifted into this evil being and for once I was scared, he stole so much power.

"I will die first," snarled like a beast, my feet hitting the cracked floor ten feet in front of him. He was just as angry, "Not before I force you to watch as I kill Danvers," his blast of energy was fast but in time it bounced off my hand into the chandelier, I flicked my hand and it sailed at him the crystal shards flying in every direction.

"Isla, I will cherish you and love you. You will hold power over me like none other," he cooed in this charming tone, it was filled with power. He was luring me into being with him, he might have cursed Yasmine this very way, used this siren tone on her bending the ignorant girl to his own will.

My body moving, but the dust was making my chest burn and I let out a cough as I inhaled more dust. His blast had me reeling head over heels into the pillar, I groaned my arm dislocated as another was heading my way. I grasped it in my hand feeling his power so tainted. His energy ball was sent at him as I moved faster he had once choice but two issues, I was right behind the ball.

He reacted sending the blast into the ceiling, which was going to kill us both my body collided with his. My eyes red to his black, like animals we bounce to our feet. I smiled, "In antrum," right before I vanished in smoke leaving him to deal with the cave in of the house.

Looking around Pogue's bike was still where I left it, I had to get back to Caleb hearing my cell going off as I abandoned it with the bike. Answering was not going to happen as I took off faster than possible, I couldn't use my left arm but was taking every turn to fast. I was heading for the mountain roads. Once there I disregarded speed limits, opening the throttle wide. Sometimes my knee would be just skimming the ground as I took the bends.

The Hospital was in sight, Ipswich Hospital, stunning isn't it? The land rolls smoothly under the grass like it was sculpted, it's an arboretum too, so many tree species. I park and already feel Caleb, seconds later Pogue and Caleb running across the West Lawn towards me.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" was bellowed before they reached me.

Pogue reached me first swinging my body into his very toned arms, "I killed Yasmine, she and Chase are behind all of this. Chase came and we fought, I left him to deal with the house caving in but he isn't dead. Pogue, you stand zero chance against him and right now you have one duty and that is to protect Kate, he wants you all dead, last all Son's powers," I gasped, praying Pogue didn't drop me to hunt Chase.

"Pogue, get her upstairs. We have to call Reid and Tyler."

I was in Kates room, my arm hanging limp as his mother and Aunt Rainy walked in. "I killed the last true Daughter, Yasmine Billows. Chase is the ancestor of Hagen Pope," my arm was good as new with a single scream of pain, the cuts would heal, the bruises would all heal on their own.

"Chase has something up his sleeve and everything will happen within these two days," my eyes on Caleb, I was scared. Scared Chase had to much power my eyes locked on his mother now.

I had to get her alone, she was the single person who could help me.
