Thanks to heartbreakerginny for reviewing.
A/N: Now, I've noticed a lot of people are reading and putting this story on their alert list so why not review and let me know how I'm going. I've got another 4 or so chapters planned for the story after Chapter 6. It continues until after the movie actually ends.
Chapter 05: I Just Want To Take You Home.
Ella unwrapped her arms from around Reid, before she stood up and made to follow Pogue. Caleb went to say something but quickly stopped realising that when it came to any of the boys she was stubborn.
"Caleb, trust me," she called before she ran up the stairs and out of the colony house.
"Tyler, what is she doing?" Caleb questioned, which only elicited a shrug from the younger boy.
"I think I know," Reid muttered, looking at Caleb and then at Tyler.
Outside Pogue was on his bike and racing towards the hospital in Gloucester. He stopped when he saw Chase ahead of him. Chase grinned evilly before he started talking. Ella knew that the only way to follow him was to use, so she did just that making herself invisible by the tree line.
"Come to save little Ms. Muffet, have we? Well, you're too late. A spider came and sat down beside her and frightened Ms. Muffet away!" Chase cackled, Pogue glared at him and Ella watched helplessly from the sidelines she couldn't let Chase know about her and Tyler both having the power.
Pogue started up his bike again and rode straight at the older boy before Chase smirked at him and his eyes went black as night before he extended his arms and moved then over his head flinging Pogue and his bike at the same time. Ella covered her mouth and made herself become invisible before she ran to him.
'Pogue, it'll be alright,' she whispered knowing that Chase couldn't hear her.
"You hurt Kate and I'll kill you," Pogue hissed trying to stand up but failing as Chase sent an energy ball at him. Ella took a deep breath and formed a protective barrier around herself, as if she covered Pogue she would risk exposing herself.
"Hurt her? I only used her to get to you. It's you that I'm going to hurt. And you're just my bait to get to Caleb," Chase smirked at him.
'Sorry, I can't cover you too. I would but you know,' she whispered, Pogue nodded a little before collapsing on the ground and the last thing he heard was Chase laughing like a maniac. "Hello," Ella said quietly into her phone after calling 911. She then immediately called Tyler and told him to get the others and meet her at the hospital.
At the dorms Sarah had arrived back to the room which was seemingly empty. Once she got there she turned around and came face to face with Chase who had disguised himself as Caleb. Sarah sat and talked to him not realising it until Caleb himself arrived at the dorms.
"Pogue's been in accident," Caleb told her, before she disappeared into a puff of smoke and Chase was revealed to be sitting on Kate's bed with Sarah laying beside him.
"Stop right there," Chase smirked lifting a finger as Caleb rushed into the room. "Close the door," he relaxed against the bed and moved an arm around Sarah before he spoke again. "Let's just keep this between the Sons of Ipswich shall we?"
"Don't hurt her, she doesn't have anything to do with this," Caleb told her getting angrier by the second as he looked at the older boy who had let a spider crawl strait into Sarah's ear.
Chase then started rambling about his father and the power that he attained from him. Caleb stepped backwards as Chase stood up and moved towards him. In an instant Caleb's eyes flashed back once he saw that Chase was inducing the creation spell on Sarah. Chase then used on Caleb not giving him any time to react as he was flung into the bathroom wall.
"Do you see my problem here?" Chase cackled, leaning against the bathroom doorframe. "I like to use," he continued to talk while Caleb listen and tried to catch his breath again.
Caleb muttered under his breath before he spoke, explaining exactly what happens when one uses too much. Chase didn't believe him and grabbed his face roughly kissing it before saying that Caleb should think of himself as a sacrificial lamb. After Chase left Sarah was brought out of the spell and Caleb told her about Pogue being in an accident, before they headed to the hospital.
At the hospital Pogue was taken immediately into the ER and they checked him out before putting him into a room in the ICU. Ella had wrapped her arms around Reid and was trying to get him calmed down. Tyler was walking around in circles trying to figure out what was going on. Caleb walked into Pogue's room just as the younger boy woke up.
"Hey, hey, take it easy," he said leaning over the bed.
"Stay away he's more powerful...than you can imagine" Pogue wheezed, grabbing hold of Caleb's arm and trying to talk a little louder as the older boy leant closer to him.
"Hey, don't worry. Don't worry about that," Caleb told him, trying to reassure him at the same time as reassuring himself.
"We can't stop him," Pogue mumbled, before closing his eyes and falling asleep again.
Caleb walked out of the room and almost instantly had Tyler, Ella and Reid looking to him. Ella and Tyler speaking at the same time.
"How is he?" they questioned, Ella's arms still firmly wrapped around Reid's waist.
"He's hurt pretty bad," Caleb answered running his hand over his face as Ella let go of Reid and hugged him. "Where's Sarah?"
"Waiting room," Tyler answered motioning in the direction with his head as he noticed that Reid's eyes were still resting on Pogue.
"I say we all go after Chase right now," Reid said angrily causing both Ella and Caleb to shake their heads.
"Reid, sweetheart, it's not going to be easy," Ella said, as Caleb grabbed Reid's arm as he walked past the younger boy.
"You guys stay here with Pogue..." Caleb paused before he spoke again glancing into the room and then at Tyler, Reid and Ella. "Call me if there's a change," they nodded as he walked out of the room.
Ella sighed and walked into Pogue's room looking at the younger boys sleeping form and wishing that she could have helped him instead of keeping herself invisible. Tyler and Reid followed her in shortly and stood on either side of him.
"Pogue, we will get him you know...I swear," Ella told him, as Reid tapped his fingers against his chin and Tyler hugged her.
"Why won't Caleb let us get him now?" Reid questioned, angrily as he continued to tap his fingers against his chin.
"Because Chase is powerful, that's why," Ella said not knowing whether it would just make him angrier or not.
"All of us could take him," he stated indignantly, Tyler's eyes went wide and he shook his head before burying it in Ella's shoulder.
"No we couldn't, just look at Pogue," Ella told them, turning her head and looking at him as it sunk in that she was right. "I would have saved him if I could have,"
"I know, but that would have meant exposing yourself," Tyler sighed, he hated everything that was going on at the moment and there was nothing that they could do about it.
In the waiting room, Sarah was waiting patiently for Caleb she had found out that Kate wasn't doing much better than what she was and that all the nurses had told her was that she was still sick. Sitting down in the chairs Caleb rested his head in his heads as Sarah sat next to him and started to speak.
"Caleb, look me in the eye and tell me the truth," she paused looking at him as he moved his hands and then his head and looked at her. "The spiders. I read about them, they're one of the charges against John Putnam," she said as Caleb interrupted her before she could continue.
"I wanna show you something," Caleb sighed looking away from her briefly and then looking back at her. "And then I'll explain everything," while Caleb and Sarah had been talking Ella had left Reid and Tyler upstairs and was standing hidden on the stair-well listening to everything that Caleb and Sarah were talking about.
Caleb then took Sarah's hand and led her out to his car before driving to the Danver's Colony house. He was going to show her his father and allow her to meet Gorman. Caleb knew in his heart that the old man would not approve of Sarah being brought into the world of the covenant. Pulling up outside the house he took Sarah's hand.
"Don't be afraid," he told her quietly before they climbed out and he took her hand again before leading her inside. Once they were inside she spoke.
"What about your caretaker?" she questioned quietly looking up at Caleb as he closed the door behind her.
"It'll be okay," he reassured her before leading her up the stairs to the higher level of the house. Walking up the stairs Sarah looked around quietly taking everything in. Once they got to the top of the stairs Caleb looked around himself.
"What are you doing?" Gorman questioned upon spotting the two teenagers. Sarah gripping Caleb's hand tightly.
"It's all right," Caleb answered, looking at him and then towards the chair that his father sat in.
"Caleb..." Gorman started to say but was interrupted by the teen.
"This is important to me, Gorman," Caleb said before he lead Sarah over to his father's chair. Gorman looked at him disapprovingly. "It's okay," he whispered to Sarah as she leant against his shoulder jumping when Caleb's father opened his eyes and looked upon them. "This is William Danvers III, my father," Caleb said motioning to the withered old man in front of them. "He's forty-four years old," he finished looking down at Sarah and seeing that she was little scared of what was going on.
Back at the hospital Ella had told Reid and Tyler what Caleb was planning on doing. Reid wasn't impressed, no outsiders were supposed to know about the Sons and the powers that they each held. Ella was doing her best to keep him calmed down.
"Reid, Caleb doesn't know that I know what he's doing," she sighed, watching as Reid ran both of his hands through his hair as Tyler shoved his hands into the pocket's of his hoodie.
"Will Sarah still think of us the same?" Reid asked, looking at her and then at Tyler and finally at Pogue.
"I don't know. Maybe," Ella told him placing her hand on Reid's shoulder as Tyler took his hands out of the hoodie and wrapped his arms around his big sister.
The following morning Caleb leant against his car whilst Sarah leant against the bridge that they had parked on. He was about to explain to her the full story of the Sons of Ipswich.
"Every generation, the bloodlines produce only one..." he paused thinking of how to continue. "The eldest male. Or in the Simms case the oldest male and female. Ella broke the rules when she was born,"
"And you've always had this power?" Sarah asked curiously, wanting to know more but not wanting to know at the same time.
"At thirteen, you get a taste of it. It's a test, in a way." Caleb said, looking at her before he continued to speak subconsciously shaking his hands. "At eighteen, we ascend, and our powers fully mature..." he trailed off looking away from her before finishing. "...and it's seductive. Some can handle it, and others like my father, couldn't," Caleb said closing his eyes as Sarah looked down before she looked up at him again. "Tonight, at twelve minutes past eleven, I'll ascend."
"What about Ella?" Sarah asked, as she looked continued to look into Caleb's eyes and saw how worried he was. "And what if you don't will him your share?"
"She's already ascended. Exactly five months ago," he told her before he started to speak again about the history. "He's already got his father's. It makes him very powerful," he said shaking his head and closing his eyes before he opened them again.
"And what if someone wills you their share?" Sarah asked, Caleb shook his head it was the one thing that no one in the covenant was allowed to do.
"It's against the Covenant laws. If it weren't, I wouldn't let them anyway," Caleb told her almost angrily, she didn't know what it did to a person.
"Why not?"
"When one ascends..." he paused, choosing his words carefully before he continued to speak. "The power becomes your life. That's why it ages you," he said looking directly at her before speaking again. "Will it away and you die," Sarah looked at him shocked that she had even suggested someone willing him their share of the Power.
