Daughter of Ipswich

Falling Down the Rabbit Hole

Happy Birthday, Caleb

The rain wildly pounded down upon the walls of the shaky barn, as I landed, awkwardly and ungracefully upon a pile of hay. I just prayed that no one was able to hear me land upon the hay over the rain.

But as I lay there, I looked around myself for a second. I was on the ground floor, in the back, hidden by several barrels filled with god knows what.

Yet, I heard someone land upon the rotting wood floor above me, making me hold my breath, as I heard the feet walk around, but things went quiet again.

But the barn door opened, only to reveal Caleb standing there, looking drenched and obviously very upset.

He ventured deeper and deeper into the barn, making me want to burst in paranoia. I knew something was going to happen to him, but what…I didn't know.

"You know," Chase's voice suddenly echoed, making my stomach flip in nervousness, I was defiantly feel the ware and tare of Chase's spell upon me. "I'm just getting the feeling that, you're not gonna keep up your end of the bargain. So I took out a little insurance policy."

Chase then chuckled deviously for a second, before adding," Celeste should be just starting to feel the extreme end of paranoia, and in an hour from now she will be dead."

But he was right, my scull felt like it was splitting in two, with the paranoid whispers that were being forced into my ears. The whispers were telling me that I should just end my life now, before someone or something else does.

"She did look quiet stunning tonight, when I saw her with your crones."

But then I felt Chase power up and transport himself to the other side of the barn, and shout," If you try to communicate with her or summon her in any manor, I will not hesitate to kill her."

I gulped quietly, as I feebly held my head between both of my hands.

"So why don't we get down to business, since you know all of the rules now?" Chase taunted again.

I watched, sadly, as Caleb's eyes went black.

But a wave of sudden paranoia raced through my veins as the barn creaked and shook, showing its old memories of the Ipswich families and how the Putnam family was killed in here.

"Witchy," Chase chuckled, as the barn began to stop shaking, but the rain still violently hammered against the barn.

"Opps," Chase paused before chuckling again," Did I just say, 'witch'?"

But still Caleb stood there unfazed, causing Chase sigh," All right. Tell you what. I'll make this easy for you. How about an accident? You lose control of your car on the way to the pathetic little dance. Trust me. I'm good at car and motorcycle accidents."

My heart dropped at I realized he was planning how to dispose of Caleb's body, when he was finished with him.

"Everyone'll miss you. They'll say great things about you. But only the Covenant will know the real truth. But, to them, you'll become a legend. Along with your little girlfriend."

Chase then cleared his voice and dramatically acted," The ones who gave their lives for them."

"How about you leave Celeste alone, and I let you live out your life?" Caleb shouted back, trying to seem superior.

But I watched as Chase floated up into the air, so he could stand upon the railing, correcting," How about I make you my 'weyotch', and you let Celeste take care of herself?"

"I'll never will you my power!" Caleb argued, gritting his teeth slightly. "Nor will I let you touch Celeste!"

"Then," Chase Paused and smirked," then it looks like trouble Celeste."

"I'll never let that happen," Caleb growled.

Chase sighed, and grunted," Fine. Let's do it your way. But first…"

Suddenly my head felt like it was splitting into two again.

I bit my tongue in pain, and curled up into a small ball in pain. I wasn't in pain from my paranoia, but it actually felt like someone was trying to pull apart my head.

But I felt blood draw from my tongue, as bit down harder, trying to stop myself from screaming or crying.

"I'm going to make sure Pogue's sister understands that her time is ticking. Tick tock. Tick tock." Chase teased, wagging his finger from side to side, before I heard a sudden "Boom".

I forced myself up to see what had just happened, only to see Caleb being thrown against a pole, which was crushed under his body weight. Thus both Caleb and the wooden beam fell down onto the ground in a loud painful thud.

Chase jumped down off of the railing, as Caleb began to crawl out from under the rubble.

I began to ignore my pain, when I saw Chase through another ball of energy directly at Caleb, as he lay upon the ground.

This wasn't a fair fight! This was wrong! You don't ever hit someone when they're down. But I doubted Chase knew the rules of gentlemanly conduct.

Chase then stomped his foot upon the ground, instantly causing a wave of energy to race towards Caleb, who groaned and moaned loudly in pain, as the third wave hit him.

"Like taking candy from a baby."

But suddenly Caleb jumped up into the air, looking like spider man for a second, while chase jumped back and threw another ball of energy towards him.

But he missed, as Caleb grabbed onto a railing, yet Chase hit him, and fourth time, causing Caleb to fall back down upon the ground, with a cat like ease.

But Chase had the upper hand and hit Caleb's feet, forcing Caleb to jump up again and land back down upon the ground, obviously completely lost as to where Chase was located at.

But Chase threw another ball of energy towards Caleb, who did a James Bond-equse maneuver, rolling across the floor as he dodged it.

Yet as Caleb stood back up, Chase held up bother of his hands, as long, jelly fish like, tentacles extended from his fingers, going through Caleb's chest, and lifting him up into the air. Yet his feet were still being dragged across the ground, as Chase pulled Caleb closer to him.

Caleb looked to be in a complete daze, as Chase inched him closer and closer, until he was within arms reach of Chase.

But Chase had another idea.

Caleb was then thrown back in one violent wave of power, flying up into the air, through the bottom of a balcony and landed upon another.

"Get up, Caleb. Fight." I begged under my breath, as I became numb to my own pain, trying to save my energy to save Caleb, if I needed too.

"Easy as pie," Chase taunted, as he stood behind Caleb, obviously since he had teleported himself.

Caleb quickly jumped up onto his feet, only to come face-to-face with another power ball.

Caleb went flying through the railings, and was pinned against the beam, directly across from me. Dangling high above the ground.

I heard Chase's feet, move around quietly, directly above my head.

That was when I noticed Caleb's eyes tiredly scan the area in front of him.

But our eyes met.

I didn't bother to hide myself from Caleb, as I looked back at him, bitter sweetly. I gave him a small smile, not wanting his last image of me to be of me crying over him.

But before Caleb could make any sort of response, a bolt of lightening came towards Caleb.

But I knew this wasn't lightening. It was the source of our powers when we ascended.

Caleb screamed out in pain, as the powers rushed through his veins for the first time. Just like I had.

I remember how scared I was and how confused I was. I wanted someone to save me and stop this pain. But Caleb wouldn't have a chance to whimper and whine like I was able to do. Instead he would have to fight.

Happy Birthday, Caleb.

I have received a PM about me needing to put up a notice that I do not own any of the characters. But I have one thing I wish to say, it is obvious, when you are posting upon a fanfic website that you do not own any of the story or characters. Now, I wish to apologize if I have offended anyone. But I also wish for people to know that I am planning planning on writing a squeal. If anyone has any idea about what should happen, or when it should occur, I am willing to hear suggestions and will post your name upon the chapters that you have helped write.

Enjoy!
