Once again! THANKYOU! THIS GOES TO YOU
three2raise!Alex's POV
Reid and I sat outside a small café, listening to the music playing with the band. He was watching me intently until I finally turned to him, "So Reid... I've heard some pretty cool things about you."
He jerked his eyebrows, his gloved hand pressed against his lips, "Like what?"
I shrugged, looking back at the band, "I dunno... like... People call you the Son's Of Ipswich."
He let out a small laugh, "Do they?"
I nodded, trying to play it cool, "its bull, right? That's what they say."
He quirked a brow "Is it?"
I grinned flirtatiously, "I don't know."
He leaned forward, folding his arms on the table, "Tell me about yourself. I don't even know your last name."
I bit my lip and then wrapped my arms around my stomach, sitting forward, "Alexandra Newbury. Happy?"
"A little disappointed, I must admit."
"How come?" I sipped on my straw.
He shrugged and looked away. I frowned and put the drink back on the table. He smirked, avoiding my eyes, "How old are you?"
"Sixteen." I said.
He frowned, "A little young aren't we?"
"I skipped a grade. Do you have a problem?"
"Not at all." He grinned at me, looking down at my hand.
I bit my lip, "Let's do something."
"Like what?"
I shrugged, "Something fun..."
He stood up and held his hand out, "Come with me."
Leah's POV
"Is there something wrong? It's just that he seems troubled." I asked Tyler as he drove.
I was asking about Caleb. I know I hadn't been the only one of the sisters to sense that he had distanced himself from us. He wouldn't join in or really talk with us at any time. Hell, I hadn't seen him since last night.
"It's some... family stuff." Tyler cleared his throat.
"Oh," I paused, "May I know, or would her rather it if you kept it quiet?"
He looked at me and I turned his chin back to the road. I didn't want him getting distracted whilst driving at night.
He chuckled, "You're very different from the other two aren't you?"
I shrugged, "In what way?"
"If I tell you what happened... you won't tell Alex? Or for-gods-sake Rachel."
I smirked, "Is it that bad?"
He laughed, "Don't get me wrong, they're nice girls... we just can't let anyone rub it in."
I folded my arms, "They wouldn't... but anyways... I'm all ears and feet."
"Well..." He took a breath, "A few months ago, Caleb had a girlfriend. Her name was Sarah..."
"Wait, her name was? What happened?"
He took a moment to clear his throat again, then continued, "Sarah was an exchange student from Boston and as soon as the two met, we all knew they were destined or whatever. Reid was so jealous... but it only lasted for a few before he let her go. Caleb on the other hand, got close and then-" He cut himself off.
I bit my lip, "and then?"
"Well... just... some stuff happened with an... old friend. He killed her."
"Wait, Caleb?!"
"No!" He said quickly, "No, the friend. Chase."
I put my hand to my mouth, "That's awful."
He nodded, "It was... Caleb's not been quite... right, since."
I opened my mouth and then closed it. Finally I brought up the courage, "How did he kill her?"
He looked at me for a moment before looking away. "Oh, sorry, I don't mean... I'm sorry; you don't have to tell me."
He chuckled, "He doesn't approve of us dating, because of what happened to him."
I frowned, "But... well... is the psycho friend still out there?"
He sighed, "Yeah... somewhere."
"So, his girlfriend died. I guess that's a good enough excused to be a little shaken."
He nodded, "He just... thinks that if we get too close, that the friend will turn and strike again. But he wont, we know that for a fact."
"Are you sure?"
He turned his blue eyes on me, trailing down my body and then back to the road, "We'd know if he came back."
"How?" There was a long silence and I stuttered, "Never mind..." He pulled over on the side of the road and I frowned into the darkness, "Where are we?"
He grinned, undoing his seat belt, "I want to show you something..."
He opened my door and helped me out, as I was sure to fall on my face in the darkness. His arm slipped around my waist and I felt somewhat awkward, not having this done to me before.
I was glad that Tyler was about six foot, since I was five eight myself.
We slipped into a small farmer field and he pulled me to him, his arms around me, "It's a clear night."
I looked up at the sky, "Wow... yeah, it is."
He pointed up, pointing at star constellations. I grinned, "That one looks like a rabbit."
He laughed, "You're cute."
I looked at him with wide eyes, "Umm... Thank you?"
He leaned down, brushing his lips over mine. I grinned stupidly and made him grin, or, at least I think that's what made him grin. His hand was on my back, arching myself to him as he kissed me.
Sure, this was romantic, but I didn't think myself to be the romantic's girl. Always awkward and unexpected, y'know?

"Not at all." He grinned at me, looking down at my hand.
I bit my lip, "Let's do something."
"Like what?"
I shrugged, "Something fun..."
He stood up and held his hand out, "Come with me." He dragged me onto the dance floor, grabbing my hips and pushing his pelvis to mine. I gasped and grabbed onto his shoulders, dancing with him. He smirked, "So you like music?"
"Yeah," I said breathlessly.
"How about movies?"
"I like movies..." I felt like I was in a daze.
"Good, we should go some time."
"That'd be cool." I closed my eyes, felling him against me.
"Do you have a car?"
"No."
"What kind would you like?"
"Jeep..." I opened my eyes to look at him.
"Perfect."
"What was that about?" I frowned at him, turned around and grazing my backside against him. He let out a small sound that shot electric shocks through my chest down to my navel.
"Small talk," He grabbed my ribs and twisted me around, bringing his face close to mine, "Because now I can do this..." He crushed his lips hard over mine, sucking hard to make them swell.
I curled my fingers around his neck and he pulled away, taking my waist and pulled me backwards. We turned the corner and he pushed me up against the wall, moving to my neck and tugging on the hem of my shirt.
I pulled his face back to mine, licking along his bottom lip and biting down on it. He pulled away, grinning at me.
I smiled, "Um... it's getting late..."
He frowned, "What's wrong."
I rolled my eyes, "Leah would kill me."
"Why would she do that?" He trailed a finger down to my collar bone and made me wrinkled my nose when he hit the ticklish spot.
"It's just early, you know?"
He chuckled, "You wanna get something to eat before we go?"
I nodded, "Double cheeseburger, extra pickles and onion with bacon..." he grinned and I added, "...and fries."
Rachel's POV
I dried my hair with the blow dryer, the bathroom completely empty. It was like the whole school of students had died or something. I never heard people using this place at night. Or maybe people were smarter than me, and didn't use it at night for 'caution-against-female' reasons.
I was once more creeped out by the sudden darkness, but I brushed my teeth and packed up my things. I was changed into my PJ pants that tied low on my hips and a tank top only just coming under my bellybutton.
I went back to the room, staring at the lock. It was open. I pressed my cool fingertips against the wood slowly, pushing it open. I peeked in and looked around, but no one was there. Thank god. I let out a sigh of relief; I didn't remember the door making a noise when I shut it, so I had left it open. Saved me from digging out my keys anyways.
I put my stuff on my bed and turned around, yelling and almost falling onto the bed. I jumped, "Jesus Christ, Caleb!"
He was looking at me sternly.
I had my had over my heart, feeling it try to break through the skin. I gasped, "What do you want?"
He looked down, his hand in his pocket, "I was wondering if you all were here, but... it seems Alex and Leah are out."
I nodded, "Yeah... they are, why?"
He shrugged, "I wanted to speak with you all..."
"About what?"
He shook his head, "Oh, don't worry. It doesn't matter, it can wait."
"Oh..." I frowned, looking to the side, "Well..."
"I'll leave you to..." He bit his lip and walked to the door, he opened it and I shut it after him, still trying to calm my frantic heart beat.
I sat on my bed and turned on our very small TV, waiting for the girls to get home.
When they did, Alex was giggling like hell. She told me about her little experience with Reid and then we got Leah to spill the gossip.
I jumped up, "Guys! I found something in a book I read... something about our history!" As I rummaged around Alex said, a frown in her voice, "Our history? But no ones ever written anything about us."
"I know... that's why I wrote it down... oh its here somewhere!" I hissed.
"Wait... you read a book?" Leah snorted.
I threw her a glare over my shoulder and went back to my desk, "Damn... books... and paper..." Finally my eyes shifted and everything piled up neatly, but no paper was to be seen. Then the horror soaked in like blood oozing from a deep wound. "Caleb..." I breathed.
"Uhh..." Alex cocked an eyebrow at Leah.
I covered my mouth, "Oh no... Oh fuck... I've ruined everything!"
"What's wrong?" Leah stood up quickly, her eyes wide.
I started pacing and rubbing my temple, "Crud... we're in deep shit."
"What? Why! Damn it, Rachel! Tell me what's going on!" Alex jumped up as well.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, "I found some text in a book, talking about Elizabeth Danvers... the mother who started it all. I wrote it down on some paper and then connected her with each of us, including the other two."
Leah gasped, "And?"
Alex frowned, "And what?"
Leah turned to her, "Alex, if anyone sees that paper... we're smoked." She turned back to me, "So... why are we in a life-threatening crisis?"
I took a deep breath, "So I wrote on this paper... and, then left... when I came back, Caleb was here."
"He got in?" Leah gasped.
"How?" Alex frowned.
"I don't know, magic maybe... besides the point. He was standing right there," I pointed to a spot behind me, next to my desk, "He's seen it."
"He has?" Alex yelled, "ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHY THE HELL DID YOU WRITE IT DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE YOU DICK?!"
"I don't know!" I whined, hitting my head.
"Hey, cool it guys... we gotta talk to him... that's all... explain..."
"But what if they think we're bad... bringing competition?" Alex said quickly.
"Why would we be doing that?" She rolled her eyes looking at me.
I was staring at a spot beside her in the wall, a blank look on my face as my brain was far away. Finally I said, "Because we may be a threat."
