Daughter of Ipswich

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

Slip Away

The bell rang, as Tyler and Reid stood on either side of me, both holding my arms, like I was the date for both Reid and Tyler tonight.

I tried to ignore the curious stares, while I anxiously looked up at the clock that loomed over the school.

Each second that ticked by was one second closer to Caleb's birthday and his ascension. And with those passing seconds, also came closer to his impending doom.

I was going to loose Caleb, unless I did something. Chase was way too powerful for Caleb to stop on his own. He was going to need some help, of people who had already ascended. Like me…

And to be honest, I could care less about this spell Chase put on me.

"Stop," Reid complained for a second, as he reached into his pocket to pull out his cell phone, unhooking his arm from mine.

"What?" I growled, obviously still upset that my date couldn't escort me tonight because he was off trying to save the world BY HIMSELF.

Reid answered his phone, before telling me," Stay right here!"

Reid and Tyler then both stepped away from me, leaving me to stand alone, under a tree, not more than five feet away from them.

But that meant I finally had my chance to spirit myself away from this Fall Fest.

I quietly slid my heels off of my feet, and stepped onto the ground, knowing heels wouldn't help me, when I'm trying to fight Chase, or at least sneak up on him and Caleb.

Then I let my eyes go aflame as I chose my destination. Putnam Barn.

See, I really hate this teleporting thing. At first it makes you feel really dizzy and nauseous, as you feel yourself fading away into mist. Second reason why I hate it is, unless you are specific about where you want to land, you can find yourself in a nasty situation.

I just hoped to god that the spot I chose, wasn't already seen or been demolished by Caleb and Chase.

Still, this was my time to prove myself, and my time to shine. I wasn't going any longer be Pogue's little (twin) sister, who his helpless and needs to Boys of Ipswich to protect her wherever she goes. I wasn't going to be that stupid little girl, who got into the backseat of a car with Aaron, just to try and pacify my love for Caleb.

I was going to accept who I was, and I was going to make sure that Chase knew this…

I am the Daughter of Ipswich, the first witch since Mary Parry. Mary Parry, the witch who died mere days before her wedding, and still her lover's love for her lasted past her death and his. Let's be frank, I have my share of battle wounds, and I'm not afraid to hide them any longer. I was ready to climb out of the hole that led to Wonderland, and face my fears. I'm not going to let some little boy, who thinks he is king of the world, come in a ruin my life. And I'm not letting anyone lay a finger on my boys, friends, or family. Especially not Caleb.

And maybe…just maybe…I might tell Caleb that I love him.
