A/N- Hello again! Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Life's been busy as usual. Bad news, it's only going to get busier. AP tests are in just over a month so I'm going to be studying my ass off since I'm taking 4 tests. Enjoy the chapter!

BlackCaleb- I'm glad you liked it. I'll try to get updates faster, but I can't be sure how fast.

Arsonal Pyromaniac- Thanks and yes Reid is hot.

HopelessRomantic44- 

MagykGurl- Sorry it's been such a long wait. I'm happy you like it though!

CaliforniaQueen- The really cocky Reid's can be annoying sometimes. I wanted Reid to be somewhat mature even if he doesn't always act like it. The Reid in my story still has his moments though…

lightning86- I'm happy you love it!

Lisaxo- Thanks! Don't worry I'm going to keep going with this story.

Purpleangel- I'm glad you like it!

A week after the dance and confessions Dena started to get jumpy. Every time Dena signed online to check her e-mail she would always get a message from TheTeacher reminding her of the client and her obligations. Dena had stopped responding when she finally gave into her heart and Reid. As the week got closer to its end Dena became even more jumpy, if it was even possible. The smallest noise would send her jumping or spook her. At first Reid didn't mind the jumpiness because Dena was usually jumping into his arms, but as it got worse it started worrying him.

The group was at the lighthouse just hanging out when Dena jumped at a creek from inside the old steel building. Dena instantly turned around to try and see into the dark, but her eyes just showed her one dark mass. Warm arms wrapped around her and turned her back around. "What has you so scared?" Reid whispered into her ear.

"Nothing, don't worry," Dena smiled and turned around. Reid took her hand and led her to the other side of the light house so that he could talk to her without the others getting involved.

"Dena, what is going on?"

"Nothing, I promise," Dena tried to give him a smiled, but Reid saw right through the masquerade.

"It is not nice to lie," A voice said. Reid whipped around to see none other than Chase Collins standing by the railing. Chase was leaning on the old railing watching as the waves crashed on the cliffs.

"Chase…" Reid growled. He pushed Dena behind him and his eyes instantly turned black.

"Showing your true self now Reid? Does your little girlfriend know about your other side? O wait, of course she does! She was sent here to kill you and your fellow brothers, after all," Chase laughed. Reid's head snapped back to Dena who had taken a few steps back and tears were already starting to fall down. "I'm sorry, did I ruin the surprise? Dena, I'm your client by the way. Thank you for waiting for me to get here so I could watch them die. Though I think you forgot your guns in your dorm room," Chase held out two pitch black guns. Dena just shook her head and kept backing up.

"No! I won't!" Dena screamed through her tears.

"Why? Do you love the witch?" Chase spat. His eyes turned back and he held the guns up to face Reid. "I believe the first rule of your kind is never to get your feelings involved in your hunt. I'm sure you mentor would love that, his protégé falling in love with a witch. How would your parents feel? Since they were killed by the kind you now hunt and apparently love."

"How would you know about their murders?" Dena whispered. Her tears had stopped for the moment as she waited for Chase to reply.

"My father was the one that killed them. He told me the story once when I first met him. He was sorry he let the daughter go. Now it's my turn to finish the job." Chase aimed the gun at Dena, but before he pulled the trigger a large, translucent ball of power hit him, knocking him back into the railing. Caleb, Tyler, and Pogue were standing there. All of their eyes were pitch black like Reid's and Chase's.

"We heard yelling," Pogue explained briefly.

"Well now the whole gang is here! We can start the party now!" Chase jumped up and started firing multiple, smaller energy balls at the guys. Dena ducked and ran for cover. She had been trained to fight witches and had her share of energy balls thrown at her, but she had never been in the middle of a witch on witch fight. She looked for her guns, but found that Chase had dropped them and they now sat at the edge of the circle of the fight.

Chase was laughing as he deflected the energy balls and sent them back to whoever had thrown it at him. Dena looked for a hole to get through, but knew Chase would either hit her or would put her in the way of another energy ball. The guys moved a bit to the left giving Dena a clear escape to the right. Dena ducked and ran, but as she got to the door she heard someone yell… a yell that sounded like it came from Reid. Wincing at the scream Dena continued on, but stopped when she heard her name.

"Dena!" Kate exclaimed. She pulled the distracted girl into the main room and under a desk. Kate was also huddled into the desk and whimpering. "What's going on?"

"They're in a fight. You and Kate need to go."

"What about you?" Dena didn't know how to answer her.

"Just go," Dena demanded. Sarah gave her a quizzical look, but pushed gate out of the desk. The two girls ran down the stairs and out of the lighthouse. Dena watched from a lower window as they jumped into Caleb's mustang and tore into the forest.

Dena turned back to the door and quickly ran back outside. She slunk quietly against the railing as she came closer to the fight. She could hear water splashing and grunts and groans coming from where the guys were trying to finally kill Chase. As she reached the fight she tried to hide the best she could in the shadows. Luckily it was already dark outside so the shadows were large enough to hide her. The guys had finally moved again and were farther away from Dena's guns. Dena watched the fight and noticed how Chase wasn't laughing anymore and was starting to wear down. Reid had a large cut on his arm and blood was slowly starting to seep out of his mouth. Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler weren't fairing all that much better either. Dena quickly ran out of the shadows and grabbed her guns before returning back to the shadows and waiting till she had a shot.

Chase used his power to grab and throw Tyler into the lighthouse through one of the many windows. Luckily, Tyler fell to the ground before he reached the light. Chase then turned to Pogue. He again used his powers to grab him and this time threw him up on top of the lighthouse. Pogue started to slide down, but stopped when he was able to grab onto rigid edge of a piece of paneling. Chase then grinned and used his powers once more to grab both Reid and Caleb by the necks and push them to the railing. He walked up and replaced his powers with his hands and brought his head down to their ears. "Now we are going to finish what we had already started. I believe Caleb still knows the words. Won't you remind us though Caleb? I'm not sure Reid might remember since he wasn't a part of our last meeting. It's really not so hard and it seems not to be that painful of a death… well actually, I wouldn't know. I've just been on the receiving end."

"Hey Mr. Collins!" Dena finally yelled. She had her guns aimed at Chase. "You'll be on the receiving end of this, but this will just kill you." Dena fired both guns. Chase's black eyes focused on the bullet's, but couldn't stop them. The bullets hit their marks and Chase tumbled over the railing and into the water below. Caleb and Reid started coughing and gasping for air as they both slid down the cold metal. Their eyes quickly went back to normal as they regained their breaths. As they stood up Pogue carefully finished sliding down the roof and Tyler was carefully standing up and was brushing the glass off of him. Dena watched for a few seconds before leaving the lighthouse. She ran down to the cliffs and carefully climbed down the rocks. Having dealt with witches before she knew she had to find the body and make sure he was dead. She found Chase's body floating face down in a small cave. Dena found a stick and pulled Chase back to shore where she checked for a pulse, but found none. Even though she was sure he was dead Dena fired one of her guns once more into his head before leaving the cave and climbing back up the cliffs. At least she was lucky enough that it hadn't rained so she could climb up. Otherwise she would be stuck down there until the next morning or whenever the sun decided to show itself again.

When she finally reached the top of the bluffs she was surprised to see the four witches she had been sent to kill still standing there. They were all huddled by Tyler's hummer. "Is he dead?" Pogue asked.

"If he wasn't after he fell, he is now," Dena said. She walked up to the truck and grabbed her wallet and phone. She closed the door and started walking down the road.

"Where are Kate and Sarah?" Caleb growled.

"Probably back at the dorms. I told them to leave. If you hadn't noticed your car is gone, Caleb." Dena yelled back to Caleb. She didn't hear anything for a few minutes before the engine was turned on. Tyler's black hummer soon passed her. The brake lights come on and Dena sighed.

"Get in the car," Caleb said when Dena walked passed them.

"I'm fine," Dena mumbled.

"Get in the car," Caleb insisted. Before Dena could respond she was grabbed and hauled into the back seat. She wiggled and squirmed until she was set down in a seat. An awkward silence came over the car, especially in the back where Pogue was separating Dena and Reid.

"Were you really sent to kill us?" Tyler asked.

"Yes."

"Were you going to go through with it?" Tyler asked again.

"If I was then you'd be dead." Another awkward silence fell over the occupants until Reid spoke up.

"Were we an act? I mean our relationship. Was it an act? Was everything you said a lie?" Though Reid was trying to stay strong and emotionless, but Dena could hear how sad and heartbroken he was in his voice.

"Everything I said, I did in the relationship was never a lie. I really did… do love you," Dena said quietly. She couldn't look at Reid because she knew that if his voice was having trouble hiding how he felt then his eyes were probably windows to all of his emotions. Anyway, she was already crying. He would never want to be in a relationship with someone who was sent to kill him and his closest friends. "I love you and always will…" Dena whispered. Even though the war was deathly silent, only Pogue heard her confession.
