Chapter Five

Cashleigh opened her eyes looking around and sighed. She actually felt rested, and she realized she hadn't woken up screaming. She felt arms tighten around her, and she turned looking up into her brother's face. She smiled a little feeling safe still. Caleb was still sleeping. She laid her head back down on his chest thinking back over the lies her mother had told her. She hated her. She closed her eyes tightly trying to shut off the painful remarks her mother had made. She'd taken her away from everything she loved. Everything was her fault.

"Sleep all right?" Caleb asked looking down at her knowing she was awake when he woke up.

Cashleigh nodded not looking at him. "You make me feel safe Caleb. I haven't felt that way in a long time."

Caleb frowned running his fingers through her long raven colored silky hair. "I missed you sis. I cried myself to sleep for nights after I got home from camp." He told her.

"I'm sorry." Cashleigh said crying a little.

"Hey. Shh now it's now you're fault. It was hers." Caleb told her rubbing her back. "I hate her also now. Dad told me the truth."

"The truth?" Cashleigh asked looking up at her brother.

Caleb frowned. "You're my half sister Cashleigh. You're mother was Evelyn's sister. Our father's true love, he admitted to me. His and Evelyn's was an arranged marriage. You're mother died giving birth to you. Dad brought you home to us. He said the only thing he and mom had in common was their love for me."

Cashleigh looked at him in shock. "So she did everything to hurt me, hurt Dad?"

Caleb nodded. "There's more. Dad used…..Wait you don't know about the power do you?"

"I do." Cashleigh told him, not telling him how she knew.

"Dad used to get even with mom for not telling him where you we're. He aged sis. He's doesn't look like the dad you remember." Caleb told her.

Cashleigh cried softly into him. "Where is he? I want to see him."

"He's in the room next door." Caleb told her holding her tight to him. "I'll take you to him if you want."

Cashleigh nodded, and Caleb got up picking her up in his arms and carrying her out of the room, and into the room next to it. He nodded at Gorman who looked at Cashleigh in concern before leaving to let them have some privacy.

Cashleigh looked up at her father gasping a little. "Daddy?"

William's eyes shot open, and he sat up. "Baby girl?"

Caleb sat on the edge of the bed beside his father looking at his sister.

Cashleigh touched her father's face gently sobbing. "I'm sorry daddy!"

William pulled her to him holding her. "It's not you're fault baby girl. I'm sorry for not being there when she took you. For not finding you."

Cashleigh clung to him sobbing. "She didn't want you to find me. She had protection spells put around the school, and me. Reina's mother did it. She didn't want to, but Evelyn forced her to."

Caleb frowned meeting his father's eyes. "I didn't know Reid's mother had power."

"She does." William told him. "She came from a covenant in Salem."

Caleb nodded. "Do Reid and Reina know?" He frowned again seeing his father nod that they knew.

"They weren't allowed to tell. So don't go getting after Reid son." William said and his son nodded at him.

Reina went to check on Cashleigh, having slept for quite awhile. She frowned looking around the room seeing Cashleigh wasn't there. She heard voices and went and peeked into the room she knew Caleb's father was in, and she smiled seeing Cashleigh with her father and brother. She hurried away before they saw her going to her parent's room, and she knocked on the door. She smirked when she heard her father groan, and felt him using in the room.

"Come in." Her mother's voice rang out with laughter. She smiled at Reina when she her. "Hello sweetie. Get a good sleep?"

Reina smiled as she went to her mother who pulled her into her arms down on the bed. "Yes. Hi Daddy."

"Hello princess." Joseph said before grumbling a little.

Reid walked up to the door smirking hearing his father. "Is this a private party or can I join in?"

"Get in here Reid." His mother laughed.

Reid ran over jumping and landed in middle of the bed between his parents. "Not having a good morning dad?"

Reina giggled as her mother pulled her over between her and Reid who wrapped his arms around his sister holding her to him.

Jade laughed hearing her son.

Joseph growled a little as he turned around and tickled his son.

Reid laughed trying to get away from his father.

Reina laughed realizing how much she had missed home. Especially these early mornings in her parent's room.

Jade laughed watching her husband and son.

Joseph grinned as he tickled his daughter also with one hand and his son with the other.

"UNCLE!" Reid laughed hysterically.

"UNCLE!" Reina cried also laughing.

Jade felt tears prick her eyes watching her husband.

"Oh you two are no fun." Joseph grinned as he stopped lying on his side, with his arm propped up watching his twins.

Reid finally controlled his laughing. "We love you too dad."

Reina grinned listening to them, as Reid wrapped his arms back around her. "I missed you guys."

"We missed you too Princess." Joseph smiled at her.

Jade's smile faltered a little, and her husband reached over gripping her hand.

"I'm not letting you go anywhere again sis." Reid sighed in contentment. "I missed mornings like this."

"So did I." Jade smiled at them.

Reina sighed a little. "I'm not going anywhere again."

Joseph laid there holding his wife's hand with their twins between them. It was quite awhile later before they all got up to get ready for the day.

Tyler woke up feeling someone sit down on his bed. He opened up his eyes to see his father there. "Dad?"

"I just came to check on you." Glenn told him. "I don't get many chances anymore to watch you sleep."

Tyler smiled a little. "I've missed you too dad. Hell and I'm only about ten minutes from home. I guess I should have come home more often."

Glenn laughed. "It does get lonely you're not there son, but I understand. I hardly went home either when I was you're age."

Tyler grinned as he hugged his dad. "I love you dad."

"I love you too son." Glenn said holding his son to him.

Pogue lay in his bed staring at the ceiling. He felt though that everything was going to be okay from now on that they we're all back together. He looked up over at the door as it opened, and he was surprised to see his mother there, with his father right behind her. "Hello Pogue." She said hurrying over to him and hugging him.

"When did you get back mom? I thought you we're away visiting you're family." Pogue asked hugging her back.

"I was in England, but you're father called me and told me what was going on. I caught the next flight back. I figured we all needed to be together for this." Porcha Parry told her son still not letting him go.

Wayne smiled watching them. "I thought you were still with Cashleigh, but she wasn't even in her room."

Pogue looked at his father. "I left her with Caleb."

Porcha smiled at her son pulling away. "Why don't you get up son, and we'll go have some breakfast."

"Okay." Pogue said as his parents left, and he got up going to get dressed.
