Chapter Three: Truth

Pogue rubbed his forehead. "Ok, let me get this straight. We're going to die by some unspeakable evil unless we team up with four other people whose powers rival ours? And these mysterious people can stop the aging problem in addition to saving the world?"

"Basically," replied Caleb. He was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed.

"Then why can't they just handle whatever's coming?" Reid demanded.

Caleb stood up straight and began to pace. "It's coming for us. The other Four apparently aren't strong enough for it either. According to the book, the Four used to be a group of five, but the fifth was murdered as he tried to protect to the rest. That happened when we were fighting Chase."

Tyler sat in quiet contemplation, looking out the window, across the street. "The Four...have been looking for us, correct?" Not waiting for an answer he continued, "Four people are moving in across the street. Do you think it's coincidental?"

It was then that everyone's gaze flew to Tyler and the window. Outside, a white convertible with a black top had just pulled up. Driving was a petite Asian girl, however, her eyes were blue. In the passenger seat sat a girl with dark red hair and bright green eyes. The red head immediately jumped out of the car, bringing with her a few bags. The other girl followed at a slower pace. A few minutes later, another moving van came... with apparently no one driving it, the Sons noted with bewilderment. The Asian stood with her mouth gaping open and tugged on the red head's sweater, pointing at the van. The boys watched as the red head rushed up to the front door, banging on it, and then Rem came outside, and the three went to inspect the van.

"Or maybe... they're the evil," Pogue said quietly.

In the dark house next door, the disembodied woman's voice spoke again. "Good, at least two of the Sons are feeling doubt about the Order's loyalties."

The man with the serpentine voice nodded and went upstairs, thinking. This should be easy. The Order of Hecate would be easier to kill off now that their leader, Trey had been killed. He would pick off each of the girls, save one, who would be his queen's new body, and then go onto the Sons of Ipswich. Then he and his wife could finally be together again... and continue what they had started centuries ago.

"Brianne!" yelled Rem at the red head, who stood laughing. "That's not funny and you know it! You know what happened last time we got careless!" Her usually pale face was now tinged with red and it was easy to see she was angry.

Brianne immediately stopped laughing. "I'm sorry, Rem. I just figured, every one's been so uptight lately, we needed a laugh." She had conjured up the movers, and then made them invisible as a prank.

"Not one like that." Rem turned and disappeared into their garage.

Kira came outside then. "Hey, Monica," she said as she hugged the Asian and then said hi to Brianne, giving her a hug also. "I heard Rem yelling. What happened?"

"I tried to get the stick out of her as --"

"It wasn't funny. We got careless and the Nathaba found our location last time. Trey died for us because of that. You can't expect her to just get over it," Kira said. "Trey was her twin, her only family. Hell, he was our only family besides each other." Kira shuddered, thinking of her biological family. "We're all still on edge, and you know it." Brianne just shook her head and went to the van to get some boxes out.

Two days and a few classes later, Caleb pulled up in the drive way and slammed his door shut. He couldn't find out anything about the girls who lived across the street, even after hanging out with them. It was driving him crazy not knowing, that power he'd felt... He looked up, hearing Rem coming down the street in her Impala. She sped into the driveway and then slammed on breaks, sitting in her car. He'd noticed, by spying a bit, that ever since the other two girls had come, Rem had been getting more and more upset. He walked across the street, and seeing as Rem's window was down, he leaned against the top of her car, looking inside. "Hey."

Rem jumped and then glared at him. "Hey."

He then noticed how red her eyes were, he moved around to the passenger side and got in the car. "You want to tell me what's going on?"

Rem took a deep breath and looked at him. "Caleb Danvers, Son of Ipswich, are you sure you want to know the truth?"
