-1Chapter 2:

Chase ran as fast as he could, trying to avoid the demon who he knew was right on his heels, even if he couldn't see him. Chase had spent the last few weeks on the run trying to get away from him. He had avoided him but he had visited him in his dreams only moments before. Chase forced himself awake and was now racing thought the woods. EH stopped dead in his tracks a the yellow-eyed demon appeared in front of him. Chase turned fast on his heels to run in the other direction and he came face to face with the blonde they called Meg. He noticed too late that she was armed and she jabbed the knife into his side. He stumbled backwards falling to the forest floor. His breathing was labored and he gripped tightly to his new wound.

"Ohh, you betrayed me, Chase, and for that you must pay the price."

"Come on, you need me" he said through Gritted teeth and black eyes.

"Lets see, I can have you or lets see, What's behind door number three," he said. Meg and the demon began circling around them.

"a pretty Brown-haired girl, about your age who lives with a bunch of Vampyres, in a small Washington town, few will know she is even missing." said Meg

"Ohh, I think we have a winner." responded the demon. "Not that we couldn't use anymore help. Chase watched as another
Black cloud appear. "Not this time, not again." Chase gritted his teeth and thought hard, focusing his energy onto the first person in his head Caleb.

"I don't understand why we have to have this meeting when there's a huge party down at the Dells." said Reid.

"Because I've had this feeling and its about time we talk about what happened at the Putnam Barn" said Caleb

"Yea, I get that, but why tonight?" asked Tyler.

"Yea, Caleb, we deserve a good party," said Pouge

"With hot girls," added Reid.

"Listen, its just because I have this strange feeling. They didn't find Chase's body, for all we know he's still out there." Caleb saw Pouge tense.

"How's Kate" he asked

"Okay, She's still in the hospital, its been several weeks, after what he did to her, If he isn't dead already, I am going to kill him Caleb." Pogue responded anger, rage, and guilt on his voice. Caleb simply nodded.

"How's Sarah?" asked Tyler looking over at Caleb.

"a Little shocked still, but she will be okay. She's not hurt, and we are still together."

"That's to bad" said Reid, "she must have hit her head to still be with you, when she could have chosen me." Caleb chuckled and shook his head.

"Come on, Reid, I'm sure there's someone out there who shares your lovely sense of humor." said Pouge.

"Sure, if we're done talking, then, lets go find out." Reid stood up, but sat down after one look from Caleb. "or not,"

"Come on, Caleb, you said so yourself, the Barn was destroyed, there's no way he could have gotten out." Insisted Pouge, evidently wanting to leave too.

"I think we should hear out what Caleb has to say,"

"Of course you do, Baby boy," responded Reid.

"just shut It Reid." responded Tyler

"Oh, yea, bring it."

"Tyler, Reid, Enough. Chase might be out there and we need to be prepared if he comes back."

"COme on, Caleb, you aren't going to get anything done, just let them go to the Party." Caleb thought for a minute and let out a deep breath. "Pouges right, you guys go on, I'll catch up"

"You sure Caleb," asked Pouge. The others had already raced out.

"yea, I'll be along in a sec, Just keep those two out of trouble." Pouge nodded and left knowing there was no use in trying to talk Caleb out of it. He was dealing with this more than he should.

Caleb sat and his eyes flashed black as the book of Damnation flew to the center of the circle. He didn't know what to do, so he began flipping threw the pages scanning every last bit. At the end he saw the story of what had happened at the Putnam Barn He scanned it over and nothing. He couldn't find anything. He closed the book and sat it on the bookshelf his eyes now back to normal. Eh couldn't get rid of the feeling that something wasn't right. The others were to young to understand.

Caleb, reached for his pocket as his phone rung.

"Caleb,"

"Hey it's Sara, I just wanted to make sure your okay. The others are hear at the party already, and I was wondering if you were coming."

"yea, I'm leaving right now,"

"are you sure your okay?"

"Yea, just stay with the boys and…" Caleb stopped as he caught something out of the corner of his eye. Appearing out of no where was Chase gripping tight to his side. His eyes were black as night, and Caleb quickly reacted, his eyes turning black. "Chase" he said.

"Caleb, you have to help me, he's going to kill her, we have to stop him." Chase's eyes returned to normal as he talked he barly stammered out the last word before he fell over. Sarah's voice could be heard softly over the phone. "Caleb, Caleb what going on." but Caleb simply dropped the phone and walked slowly towards Chase, preparing himself for a fight.

He was hocked to see chase lying, unconscious on the stone floor gripping tightly on to his side. A thin stream of blood was seeping through his fingers. Caleb remind unsure of what to do, but something inside him said that Chase wasn't the problem.

Bella knew that at some point she had fallen asleep because she remembered waking up. The strong smell of smoke filled her lungs, causing her to take a deeper breath. This however only resulted in fits of spastic coughing as the thick smoke replaced the air. It took her a few moments to register. Her room was filled with smoke and engulfed with flames. Warning lights flashed throw her head as the adrenaline pulsed through her.

"Charlie" she screamed as loud as she could, over and over again, attempting to breath in-between. She could only wish Charlie had gotten out okay. Bella raced to her door, and tried to pull open the door but it was stuck shut. She turned her back to it scanning the room when she saw a man causing her to scream. Before she knew it she was flying across her room and into the adjacent wall. She fell crippled to the ground. Tears filled her eyes, and fell down her cheek as she felt herself transform back into a small fear full child. "Edward," she muttered wishing he would swoop her up in his arms and carry her away.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on killing you, exactly…" He waved his hand sending her flying across the floor, and into the other wall. He walked over to her and leaned over her barley conscious body, connecting his eyes to hers.

They last thing she saw before fading once again into darkness were the glowing yellow eyes belonging to the creature. She could no longer refer to him as a man. Where was Edward she thought. Why wasn't he here. Before she passed out she felt herself flying again.
