Chapter Three: Hecate

Caleb's eyes widened slightly. "You know about Ipswich?"

"You're really surprised? Caleb, I know that you've felt the magic around us. I can tell by the way you've been acting. You think that we're the evil from the prophecy. I don't know what I can say to change your mind, but we, Kira, Brianne, Monica and I, we are the Four that were sent to help you."

"Sent by whom?" demanded Caleb.

"Trey Nox. He is - was - the leader of our Order."

A few months after the fight with Chase, Caleb had discovered a gift that had come with his father's power. He could now tell if someone was lying to him. Rem wasn't. However, he wasn't so sure because since she was magic, she could be using a spell or something. Caleb sat in the car, and stared at Rem as she talked.

"Trey was my twin brother. Our parents... let's just say they aren't around. Never were. When they finally left us, we found a book. It contained everything that we had ever wanted to know about ourselves, why we had powers, and where they came from. It also told us that we were part of a group called the Order of Hecate. The Order has been around since pre-history, as far as we could figure out and originated in Rome. Family friends also had children who were members. Trey, being the oldest and a Nox, was the leader of the Order. The leader had the gift of Seeing.. A long time ago, a prophecy was made about the Sons of Ipswich and the Daughters of Hecate. The four of us, we are the only ones that have been born into the Order for a long time. Trey had a vision of the prophecy, which he told us about. To give us time to find you, he," Rem broke off as her voice began to break. She took several breaths and then began again. "He decided to delay Nathaba and her consort while we went ahead. Nathaba killed him."

Caleb, noting that Rem was on the verge of tears, placed his hand over hers and gave it a light squeeze. She smiled at him slightly, and then turned to look out the window. "Nathaba... what is that?" he asked after several minutes had passed.

"Nathaba was a princess in the time of the Roman Empire. I don't remember where she was from, but she caught the eye of a Roman general, named Gaius. Gaius and Nathaba, they were both power hungry. She was a sorceress and he was apparently half demon. Their marriage was bad news for everyone. The two began to try and take over the world; they were stopped by the Order of Hecate and some of your ancestors apparently. She's the one that put the aging curse on your families. She's held a grudge against all descendants of those people and now she's back along with Gaius. Gaius is stronger now, and once she finds a body, Nathaba will be too. That's all that I know." Caleb and Rem sat in silence for a long time after that.

"It looks they're just sitting there," Reid declared. He, Tyler, and Pogue were in the living room discreetly looking out the window, trying to figure out what was taking Caleb so long.

"Not talking?" asked Pogue.

"Sitting," Tyler confirmed. He soon grew bored of the spying game and decided to go for a walk. About a block an a half away from their house, the neighbor hood ended and there sat a woods. Tyler usually went there to think, or to get some quiet, which was rare in the home of the Sons of Ipswich. After arriving in his usual spot, he sat on a tree stump and took a book out of his bag. He had just opened it when...

"Hey, Tyler." Seeing him jump, Kira laughed and sat next to him. "What are you reading?"

"Words."

Kira rolled her eyes. "Well, I can see that." Tyler just smirked and looked away. Kira sighed. "Tyler ... have you ever heard of the Order of Hecate?"

Pogue and Reid, meanwhile, had gotten bored and decided to play pool. They were in the basement (Reid winning) when Monica and Brianne walked in, followed by Caleb and Rem. Pogue tripped as he took his next shot, and the ball went flying directly at Monica's head. He yelled at her to duck, but to his shock (and Reid's) the ball was hovering right in front of her face. "We need to talk," said Monica, as she took the ball and tossed it back on the table.

An hour later, the girls had finished telling the Sons of Ipswich all that they knew. The six were sitting around, trying to decide what to do, how to kill Nathaba and Gaius when Tyler and Kira walked in. Kira nodded to the girls to tell them that Tyler knew now. Rem, meanwhile, had been getting steadily paler. "Rem, what's wrong?" Brianne asked.

"I, uh.." Rem broke off unable to speak. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she passed out, and slumped into the couch. Caleb was the first to move, he picked Rem up and carried her to his room, so that she would be able to lay down. "Has this ever happened before?" he asked.

"Only once," Kira replied, looking worried. "She had a vision of Trey dying." Tyler took her hand and gave it a squeeze, trying to calm her down.

After a few minutes Rem began to toss on the bed. She sat up quickly and her normally blue eyes were completely black. Pogue and Reid exchanged glances, wondering what other powers the girls had. "Nathaba found a host body, but it's not the one she wants."

Caleb took her hand and made her lay down again. "Whose does she want?"

"Mine."
