Things with me and Reid were great after that incident but when Reid kept getting leaving in a hurry and never really giving me a straight answer and Caleb calling me to see if everything was ok and if I needed anything while Reid was standing right next to me started to put wall between us. I wonder if I made the right choice of opening my heart up to someone after all these years to someone who was just like me. We both had secrets, I don't know what his secret was but mine was probably worse to hide then his.

I sat on my windowsill while the nice spring breeze went by blowing through my hair. I heard my phone go off and I looked down and saw that it was Caleb. I rolled my eyes and opened it.

"Yeah," I sighed.

"I have an idea; I want you to meet me at the old Perry Barn."

"Um, ok, where exactly is that?"

I heard him laugh. "Sorry I forgot you don't live near these parts." While he was giving me directions I could help but think of Reid. I haven't seen him in a few days and whenever we talked on the phone it was short. We were both were hiding something from each other and it was getting harder and harder for us to communicate and stand each other.

After I got off the phone with Caleb I grabbed my money from my drawer and headed down the stairs. I saw my mom reading a book by the fire place.

"Mom, I'm heading out, I'll be back later," I said grabbed my jacket and started for the door.

"Sweetie, wait," she said as I heard her coming towards me. I turned around with my hand still on the door.

"Yeah, mom?"

"Is everything alright with you and Reid? He barely comes around and when he does it seems you two cant even stay in the same room together for that long."

I bit my bottom lip and looked down at the floor. "Mom, has there ever been something you couldn't tell anyone, not one single soul or something horrible could happen?"

"Are you and Reid in trouble?"

"No, no, it's just that I've found a few things out in the past couple weeks, that I kind of wish I didn't."

"Is he into drugs? Is he abusive?"

"No, mom! It's me!"

She stared at me. "No, no, I'm not on drugs or anything."

"Then what is it?"

"I can't tell you."

"Lacey Valentine!"

"Mom! If I tell you then my life or your life could be in danger! No one can know. I'm sorry I even brought this up."

"You are not leaving this house until you tell me."

I sighed and leaned on the door crossing my arms across my chest. I just stared back down at the floor. "Mom, I found out things about James."

"Your father?"

I looked up at her. "Turns out I've been right all along he is dead. Mom…you have to promise not to tell anyone not even JT, even though you guys are close, like real close, you can't. I can't even tell Reid, it's that much of a secret." She stared at me, eager to hear what I had to say. "I know he's James Danvers. I know he had a family and you and him had an affair and then had me. I know why he never came around and gave us all this money. I'm friends with his son. Remember that dinner party, yeah, I was at the Danvers house eating dinner for my dead father and I didn't even know." My mom looked into the living room and back at me.

"I know," she whispered and looked back at me. "I know that he had a wife and a son, a year older than you but he made me swear not to tell you anything about him. I never knew why though."

I can't believe this is happening. My head is spinning again. "Happy now, I really have to go." I opened the door and walked out slamming it.

Sharon stood staring at the door expressionless until a faint little smirk came across her face. Her height started to shoot up and her features started to change. It was JT. Footsteps were heard coming from upstairs and it was Sharon walking down the stairs. She looked over and smiled. JT smiled back at her.

"Lacey leave?" asked Sharon.

"Yes, she said she'll be home later, she's going out with some friends."

Caleb and Pogue met me at the bus stop in Ipswich. I wondered why Pogue was with us until I realized it was his barn that we were going to. Parry Barn; guess we needed permission or whatever. When we got into the barn it was dark until Pogue lit the candles by just waving his hand. He looked at me raising his eyebrows.

"So, what's this about Caleb?" I asked turning to face him.

"Well, so it's believed that powers of the original witches of Ipswich only run through the male blood. But I believe if they say us Danvers are very powerful then why can't the Danvers women have the power too." I scrunched my forehead and looked at him in an odd way. "I think you might have something special inside you than what us men have. You see, when we use our powers, our bodies slowly grow and die depending on how much power we use. But men are so addictive to power and through our centuries always wanted more and when they did it got the better of them. Women could care less about power, I believe if you do have some sort of power that your body won't die at the age of thirty."

"Ok," I said hugging my body for warmth the barn was kind of cold. "So what kind of 'power' do I have?"

"I'm not too sure about that yet." I scoffed. "Come on Mr. Smarty Pants you should have all the answers."

"She is so like Reid, it's scary," said Caleb shaking his head.

"But hot," said Pogue. I looked over at Pogue sitting on a haystack and he just shrugged. I turned back to Caleb waiting for him to go on. "Come on Caleb, you can't really think that she has a power. I mean it says it in the book only male descendents get the powers, not female."

"Do you think females can't handle the power?" I asked turning back to him.

He shrugged and smirked. "I'm just stating the facts."

"What that men would always be number one and women second best." My blood was boiling even more, ever since my mom made me breakdown at the front door. I would of thought that would make me feel better by letting it out, but something was still eating away at me, and his name started with an 'R.'

Pogue got off the haystack and walked over towards me. "I don't think that at all, I'm just saying after all these years with all these families, you would think that they would of showed it somewhere that women get powers."

"Not unless they were protecting the women from the so called "evil."

"I doubt it." He started walking back to the haystack and that's when my anger went over. I DOUBT IT, screamed in my head. I felt something shoot through me and Pogue went flying in the air.

"Pogue!" Caleb and I both screamed and ran after him. Pogue sat up from the hay he fell in and looked at me. "She did it."

"What?" I asked stopping in my tracks.

Caleb helped Pogue up. "Your power must be tied to your emotions," said Caleb.

"Typical woman," muttered Pogue. I shout him an angry look.

"Try it again, lets see what kind of power you really have, I'm thinking telekinesis the way you through Pogue over there."

"I don't want to be the practice dummy anymore, next time use Tyler or Reid."

Caleb shot Pogue a look. "Whoa, wait what?" I asked. "Do they know about your powers?"

Caleb took a small step. "They're witches too, Lacey."

So that's the secret Reid's been hiding from me. I felt my anger rise up in me again. I looked at a haystack and it flung across the barn.

"Yeah, she's telekinesis," said Pogue.

"So you can use your mind, try moving something with your hands," said Caleb walking over to me. "Try moving me a couple inches."

"I can't, I can only do it if I get angry."

"Well, it seemed Reid was a touchy subject with the haystack," said Pogue smirking.

"Knock it off, Pogue," said Caleb.

"Reid, Reid, Reid, Reid," Pogue taunted. I moved my hand quickly and Caleb moved more than a couple inches.

"Say his name one more time, Pogue, you are going to be flying out of here," I said smirking at him. He smiled. The rest of the afternoon Pogue and Caleb wanted to see how strong my powers were, so they had me practice on ever haystack and sometimes Pogue.

They dropped me off at home around five and I noticed JT's car outside. I walked in to find my mom setting up for dinner. I put my purse on the stand next to the door and hung my coat up. My mom looked up at me and smiled. "Hi sweetie."

Oh now she's going to be nice to me, no third degree over dinner with JT. "If dinner is just for you and JT I can always make myself a sandwich and eat up in my room."

"No, I made enough for all three of us to eat together," she smiled.

I walked into the kitchen to get myself something to drink and my mom followed. JT came out of the bathroom and walked towards my purse. He opened it up and found my lip gloss. He held it in his hands and started chanting. After a minute of chanting the lip gloss turned black then turned back to its normal shade.

"Honey I'm worried about you," said my mom as we walked back into the dining room. "You have been distant lately."

I looked at my mom strangely. "Didn't we go over this earlier?" I asked sitting down.

"How are the most beautiful ladies in the world?" asked JT walking into the dining room breaking my mom and I up.

"Hi, JT," I said under my breath and waiting to eat and go up to my room to escape.

Dinner was mostly about my mom and JT. They only paid attention to themselves and it started to make me lose my appetite.

"May I be excused, I'm not feeling well?" I asked standing up. I know I didn't need an answer.

"Feel better," said JT smiling at me.

I grabbed my purse from the hall and walked up to my room. Things just keep getting worse and worse. I can't stand this, what is happening to me? I feel as if ever since I went to that party things started to go downhill. Sometimes I wish I never went to that party and stayed home watching movies with my mom. I threw my purse across my room and everything spilled out. I didn't bother cleaning it up. I sat on my bed and put my iPod on. I laid my head down on the pillow and closed my eyes. I just listened to the music pass by and watched the blackness in front of me. I just wish things were just easy for me but no my life had to be the complicated one out of everyone in town. I sighed rolling over and facing the other side of my room. What am I going to do?

For the past few days Caleb had me practice at the Parry Barn I didn't know what for, he said just for the unexpected. Whatever that means. It's not like the Danvers secret is out. I know my mom wouldn't tell anyone, she's been really good at hiding it. Especially when I bring it up, she pretends like she doesn't know what I'm talking about.

It was Saturday night and I was getting ready for bed. Yeah, on a Saturday night at ten, I, Lacey Valentine was getting ready for bed. What is up with that? I guess all the training and school work I've been doing lately has been making me really tired. I put a t-shirt on and a pair of underwear on. I locked my door and shut the light out. I climbed into bed with my iPod on. Over the past weeks I've started to feel empty and all I was to Caleb and Pogue was a fighting machine. What were they training me for? Seriously, nothing bad was going on. As I laid there in bed, I started thinking of Reid and the last time I saw him. It was Monday afternoon and he was waiting outside my house. When I saw him I started walking slower towards my house. Think of it I haven't seen him in almost a week or more and he now shows up unexpectedly at my house. I was allowed to be angry towards him, but he also had a reason to be angry towards me, I was hiding a something. When I got up to him he gave me the biggest hug I've ever gotten from him. I was confused and just let him hug me. He kissed the top of my head and looked down at me, and I saw that there was something wrong in his eyes. I wanted to ask what was wrong and hold him so tight but I couldn't he didn't know that I knew he was a witch. Caleb and Pogue never talked about what the four of them did and why.

I sighed and moved to get comfortable under the covers. I was half asleep when I felt my bed move. I opened my eyes a little and thought that it was just my imagination. I closed them again to feel someone or something crawl onto my bed. I sat up taking my headphones off and felt a hand go over my mouth. I tried to scream but I couldn't because of the hand. I followed the arm and saw that it was just Reid. I relaxed a little and he smiled at me. I grabbed his hand and took it off my mouth.

"What are you doing? Haven't you ever heard a phone?" I asked.

He smirked. "Yeah but I can't do what I want to do over the phone."

"And what's that?" I asked raising my one eyebrow.

"This," he whispered and bent towards me and kissed me. The kiss felt amazing. I haven't kissed him in the longest time by him. He let go and I smiled.

"Is that all?" I asked.

"Mmm, no," he said and got under the covers with me. He pulled me close to him and onto the bed. "I want to hold you." We laid there holding each other and talking like old times for hours until I started falling asleep.

"You better go," I whispered. "It's getting late."

"Nope," he said and held me closer. I looked up into his eyes. "I'm staying here, I'm quite comfortable"

I rolled my eyes and leaned my head against his chest while he played with my hair. "Plus you have no pants on and when's the next time I'll be able to lay with you with no pants on?" He laughed. I hit his chest lightly. It was kind of true, when's the next time I'll be able to be with him like this.
