Daughter of Ipswich

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

When SUVs Fly

"Shit!" I whispered, as I looked back at the police car, who was right behind us.

Caleb threw his head back into his seat, muttering shit as well, while the rest of the boys were laughing.

"No sweat!" Reid shouted, weaving in and out of the trees and fog, but the police still remained on our tail.

"We gotta pull over." Caleb groaned in defeat.

I gawked at him in shock. "We're not stopping!" I shouted at him. I really didn't need my parents or Harvard to find out about this avoiding police officers arrest.

"You wanna stop?" Reid shouted back at Caleb, just as upset as I was," That'll impress Harvard."

Caleb sighed reluctantly I looked back out the window, while I poked his shoulder," Your not the only person in this car here, Caleb."

"All right," Caleb sighed, but it came out as a command," what the hell. Let's lose them. Cut across Marblehead. We might as well have some fun, while we're at it."

With that Reid sharply turned, throwing me against Caleb, who just laughed and cheered loudly, not at all noticing that was practically all over him.

I sighed dismissively, knowing I couldn't let my daydreams get to me.

"Lose them!" Tyler urged Reid, looking back out the window, nervously, while I straightened myself back up.

"Step on it! Go!" my brother shouted, only to be thrown on top of me, forcing me back onto Caleb.

"Hey Celeste?" Caleb chuckled, noticing I was back on top of him, but also crush by my monster of a brother.

"Hey," I smiled back at him, before Pogue pulled me up with him, only to be jostled again, while Reid made a small jump off the edge of the forest onto the cliff.

I couldn't help but laugh happily, as I began enjoying this exhilarating race. An uncontrollable smile plopped onto my face, while I gained better balance, as Reid did more insane stunts.

But then I noticed something. Caleb was looking at me, and smiling the same way he had been with Sarah. That same dumbstruck, loveable, smile, with his eyes now super glued on me.

But I did what seemed natural to me, and smiled back, while I get laughing with the rest of the guys. After all I was the Daughter of Ipswich.

"Having fun back there?" Reid looked back at me.

"Yes," I gleefully shouted.

But suddenly we all quieted down; as we noticed we were coming towards the edge of the cliff.

"All right, guys, you ready?" Reid inquired.

Instantly I felt my smile disappear, and I knew they were going to use their magic.

"Come on, Caleb," Pogue nudged Caleb," It's gonna take all of us to get Celeste and the car."

Caleb sighed and nodded his head, while I whispered ever so quietly to him," Thank you."

He nodded to me, and linked hands with me, in a loving manor, as if to reassure me, nothing would happen to me.

But the police officer's car horns were beginning to get more frequent, as we got closer and closer to the edge.

I quietly watched as the boys' eyes, one by one, went black.

And I let my head hang low in shame they were all using their magic, so I linked my other free hand with my brother's hand, and closed my eyes.

Only to open them, letting them shift into their dark form as well.

But magic was going unnoticed, while the boys' magic radiated wildly around me.

"Harry Potter can kiss my ass!" Reid shouted, as we went over the edge and into the air.

At that first second, we began to drop. I knew the boys' magic wasn't strong enough to hold all of us. So I added an extra boost of my own. And with that we went flying in the air, circling around above the police cars.

"Wow!" I heard Pogue whisper loudly for a second, while I kept my head looking down.

I then let my energy slip away, while the boys landed us, in a sudden drop of death.

I let out a squeal of excitement, while my eyes returned normal and looked directly up, to see the police officers right in front of us.

We all sat there laughing and smiling at them. I couldn't resist but wave at them, and blow a quick kiss, before Reid took off again.

Leaving us all laughing so much, that our sides were beginning to split.

But, when Tyler pulled up to Caleb's house, I saw Pogue's familiar bike, parked next to Caleb's car.

"Here's my last stop for the evening," Tyler smiled at Caleb, Pogue, and me.
"Thank you for the lovely evening," I kissed Tyler's cheek, before I crawled out of the back seat.

"See ya," Tyler waved good bye at us, after I shut the car door, and drove off leaving me with my childhood crush and annoying older brother.

"Come on," Pogue, grabbed my shoulder pulling me over to his bike.

Caleb tucked his hands into his pant pockets, watching Pogue and me, while I sat down behind me brother, pulling on his helmet.

"I'll see you later, man." Pogue shook Caleb's hand, after he turned on his bike.

Caleb nodded, and grinned patted my back," You two drive safely."

I nodded back at Caleb, while he looked over at my brother," Call me in the morning, after you call Kate. Okay?"

"Yeah, man," my brother smiled, while Caleb began walking back through the gates of his family's mansion.

"Let's go," my brother sighed, while I squeezed him as tight as possible.

But, as we drove away. I felt my mind beginning to swim with thoughts, until Pogue shouted to me, over the rushing wind," You know, something off happened, when we were in the SUV, earlier."

"What?" I questioned weakly.

"Our powers," Pogue began," they like grew stronger when we used them together. Like I could feel like what our powers would feel like once we all ascend. It was pretty cool."

I was beginning to felt awful. My brother thought that was his power he was feeling, when it was really mine.

"That must be pretty awesome feeling," I cooed to my brother, as he raced back to our home, where I'm sure our parents would have a field day, when we did.
