Chapter 06: Hear Now the Words
That night at the Danver's house Ella, Tyler, Reid and Caleb were waiting in the main room for Sarah. Ella and the boys had only taken a matter of minutes to get dressed where as Sarah was taking a little longer. Evelyn walked into the room and then straight towards Caleb.
"Caleb, you cannot do this alone. We have to go to the others," she said stopping in front of him as Ella went and stood beside Tyler while Reid leant against a stuffed leopard.
"We can't do that. He'll kill us all, including you," Caleb told her as he folded his arms in front of him and looked down at her.
"Caleb, please tell me that Chase knows nothing of my existence," Ella said looking at him with pleading eyes and hoping that Chase didn't know about her.
"He doesn't know," Caleb told her, before he started speaking to his mother again. "Pogue was the final warning. And Ella couldn't stop him, she'd risk exposing herself and we can't let that happen,"
"We have to go to your father," Evelyn said taking Caleb's tie in her hands as she stepped closer to her son.
"No," Caleb said shaking his head and closing his eyes. "I know what you're thinking, mother, and you know what will happen," he said opening his eyes and looking into her scared ones.
"But he loves you," Evelyn sighed, placing her hands on either side of his head as she spoke to him again.
Caleb closed his mouth before he spoke again taking his mothers hands in his own. "Well, then, he'll die with that secret,"
Ella, Tyler and Reid looked at one another, none of the game enough to speak at the moment. Reid had moved slightly and was now standing closer to Ella, and had taken her hand in his own. While Tyler stood with his arms crossed over his chest. Evelyn looked away from Caleb and started walking before Caleb spoke.
"Where's Sarah?" he asked, Evelyn didn't answer him so Ella spoke.
"She's changing upstairs, I don't know why she takes longer than me," she smirked, trying to lighten the dark mood over the room.
"Caleb, you should never have involved her," Evelyn said, looking sideways towards him as she sat down.
"You're right. But I can't change the past, and he's using her against me, all of you," Caleb said as Reid squeezed Ella's hand tighter and Tyler looked down taking his sister's free hand in his own. "And it's going to stop," he said looking around at all of them as his eyes rested on his mother. "I want you to take Sarah to the dance," Caleb told Reid and Tyler as he leant against the back of the chair and looked directly at them. "I'll meet you there, I don't think he'll try anything in the open,"
"Caleb, be careful please," Ella whispered, looking at him and then at both the younger boys.
"I will be,"
"Would you just let us help you? You know we've go your back," Reid said pulling his hand away from Ella and wringing them together before resting his arm at an angle. "All of us do,"
"I know you do. But please, just once, do what I ask," Caleb sighed, Tyler nodded as did Ella, the three of them then looking towards Reid who nodded slowly.
Caleb looked up as Sarah descended the stairs. The five teens then walked out to Tyler's hummer, Reid sitting in the back with Sarah while Ella sat up front with Tyler. Caleb climbed in his own car after making sure that the others were well on their way to Fall Fest. At Fall Fest, Reid and Tyler walked on either side of Ella and Sarah. Reid's hand was firmly gripping Ella's. Chase was standing above the clock tower.
'Hey, any sign of him?' Caleb asked as he drove past old Putnam Barn.
"No," Reid answered leaning against a brick wall as Ella forced him to let go of her hand.
'Good. Listen, I'm on my way. If he does show...' Caleb said as Reid looked at Tyler who was looking at him, neither boy looking at Sarah and in that brief instant she was gone. Not even Ella had noticed her disappearing, but she had felt someone use. 'Please promise me you won't do anything stupid,' he paused before asking. 'How's Sarah doing? Can I talk to her?' Caleb heard Ella say something but couldn't work out what it was.
"Yeah, she's fine. Hang on," Reid said as he went to hand Sarah the phone but noticed she wasn't there. "Where is she?" he asked Tyler and Ella, Ella shrugged before she spoke.
"I don't know she was here just a second ago," Tyler said shrugging as Ella left them to start looking for her. "Ella, be careful,"
"I will be just keep Caleb occupied," Ella told them as she disappeared into the crowd before slipping unnoticed into the school.
'Guys what's going on?' Caleb questioned dropping his phone and grabbing onto the steering wheel with both hands as Chase scared the shit out of him after appearing from nowhere.
Caleb then slammed on the brakes and Reid's voice could be heard through the phone shouting 'Caleb? Caleb?' as he avoided being showered in glass as Chase used to shatter his windscreen into millions of pieces staring Caleb in the eyes. Caleb looked at Chase and saw that his eyes were as black as night before the older boy spoke to him.
"What's your plan? You can't beat me, you know." he stated as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. The glass floated around Caleb before Chase jumped over the car and made the rest of the windows shatter outwards and as he did that it started to rain.
At Fall Fest, Reid and Tyler had realised that something wasn't right.
"Something's, happened," Reid stated as Ella ran back to them. "Ella, what is it?"
"Someone's using and it ain't 'Leb," Ella said catching her breath, as she leant against the wall that Reid was against.
Caleb climbed out of his car and looked to old Putnam Barn before he ran towards it as fast as he could to get inside and out of the rain. Once he was inside he carefully made his way inside looking around as he did so stopping when he heard Chase's voice. He looked up as water dripped off his face.
"You know..." Chase paused looking down upon Caleb before he continued and Caleb kept looking up at him. "I'm just getting the feeling that you're not keeping up with your end of the bargain," Chase stated causing Caleb to growl and instantly look away from him. "So I took out a little insurance policy," he finished as Sarah came into view. Chase rambled on as Caleb made his eyes go black and shake the entire building.
"How about you let her go and I let you live out your life?" Caleb questioned, motioning towards Sarah and then looking up at Chase.
"How about I make you my witch," Chase retorted, as a bright light shone behind him.
Meanwhile Ella had told Reid and Tyler that she had things to do and that she would be back as soon as she could be and that they should continue to look for Sarah. As soon as the boys had started looking Ella slipped into the school before using to get herself to old Putnam Barn.
"I'll never will you my power," Caleb stated as Ella appeared near them and hidden in the door way.
"You, Chase Collins have been a very naughty boy," Ella said calmly, as she lifted him off the ground with the swift movement of her hand.
"Who the hell are you?" Chase yelled at her, Ella just smirked and flung him across the barn. "One step towards either of them and you all die," he said sending an energy ball towards her, which she deflected straight back at his crumpled form.
"Really think that, that scares me?" Ella laughed, making herself become invisible and walking towards Caleb. "Caleb, take a deep breath, you're about to ascend," she added as Chase threw him against the support beams. "I am, who I am,"
Meanwhile at Fall Fest, Reid and Tyler had stopped looking and were standing looking to each other before they spoke asking the other same question as to whether they had found Sarah. Reid looked down at his watch.
"Twelve minutes past eleven," Reid said looking to Tyler and smiling a little.
"Happy birthday Caleb," Tyler said Reid nodded and then noticed that Ella hadn't met them. "Where'd she go?"
"Probably to Putnam barn to help Caleb. Or to the hospital," Reid answered, draping his arm around the younger boy and hugging him. "You know I miss us,"
"I do too, but you're with my sister now," Tyler sighed, knowing that both Ella and Reid were happy with one another.
"I know, why do you think I kept sneaking off campus," Reid smirked, Tyler's eyes went wide when he realised what the other had been doing. "Sorry baby boy,"
"I didn't need to know that, seriously," Tyler muttered, as Reid playfully smacked his ass.
"Come on lets get out of here and go somewhere else...like say to Pogue," Reid said, knowing that, that was what Caleb wanted them to do.
At Putnam Barn Caleb had started his ascending and Ella was keeping Chase occupied for as long as she could sending energy balls directly at him.
"Again, who the hell are you?" Chase yelled as Caleb's eyes rolled back in his head and his entire body started to shake as he stared to ascend.
"Hold on Caleb," Ella told him before she turned her head and became visible again. "I'm Ella Sims, yeah you heard me, I'm one of the descendants of the witches of Ipswich you asshole,"
Ella continued to distract Chase while Caleb ascended. She took a deep breath as Caleb screamed in pure agony. Ella grinned as her own eyes flashed black as night and she flung Chase to the ground. Chase stood up and used an energy blast against her, not expecting for her to catch it and allow it to grow adding to it.
"Chase I recommend you stop trying to kill me," Ella laughed, she had more power than he did and hers was all her own, and not her fathers.
"Why should I?" Chase questioned, as Ella's energy ball was thrown back at him. "You're not a witch," he told her confidently.
"Ugh, What will it take for you to get it? I'm stronger than you, I ascended 5 months ago," Ella told him and then proceeded to tell him more. "You broke the rules. I broke the rules by being born. The Sims family produced two in the bloodline,"
Caleb stood up after a couple of seconds and then had to jump almost immediately as Chase kicked the ground and sent a blast of energy his way. Caleb took a deep breath and threw a ball back at him.
"Go to Reid and Tyler," Caleb told her, Ella shook her head and glared as Chase broke through her binding spell. "Now!"
"No. I am older than you and stronger than you," Ella said before sending the binding spell to him so that he could help her use it against Chase.
"Your little spell will never work, bitch," Chase laughed, Ella simply smiled at him before taking a deep breath and motioning to Caleb to do it with her.
Ella glared at Chase trying the spell again this time with Caleb's help. 'Hear now the words of the witches of Ipswich. Bind Chase Collins power threefold.' As they were saying the spell Caleb's mother had arrived at the Danver's colony house and was talking to Caleb's father.
"I will you my power," Caleb's father said as Ella's binding spell failed again. Evelyn had convinced William to will his power to his son.
"What the hell? Okay now I'm pissed," Ella yelled, taking a deep breath as she decided to do something that may cost her, her own life. "Caleb, trust me,"
"What are you doing?" Caleb questioned catching an energy ball from Chase and holding onto it as it grew and his power was multiplied by his fathers.
"Giving you something," Ella said taking a deep breath and closing her eyes she whispered. 'I Ella Sims, give you Caleb Danver's a lend of my power, to return to me when I call it back,'
"You'll die Ella," Caleb muttered stumbling backwards before he released the energy ball and sent it flying towards Chase.
That final energy ball was all that was needed to send Chase flying backwards into the now freely burning barn. Caleb raced into the barn trying to avoid all the flaming debris. Ella pulled out her phone and dialled 911 telling them that there had been a fire and someone was inside. Caleb was looking around searching for Sarah and he found her still floating above the ground, he scratched his head surely she should have dropped to the ground once Chase was gone.
