Chapter 5

Jessica slipped her shoes on and stood up taking a good look at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a green dress that just hit above her thighs and showed off her B cups. She touched up on her eyeliner and lip-gloss. Rubbing her lips together she was ready. She had a plan and if that plan worked then, actually she didn't know what would happen after; she hadn't thought that far yet.

"Knock knock." Jessica heard Reid's voice.

"Come in, I'm decent," Jessica called out.

"Damnit. Why do you have to be?" He asked putting on his smirk. He looked her up and down, stopping on her cleavage. "I take that back, I can see enough of you right now. Tyler you can go to Nicky's I think we're going to stay here."

"Ha, ha. Nice try Reid but that's not going to happen, not even in your dreams birthday boy." Jessica said ruffling his hair before grabbing her bag.

"To late I already dreamt about it," Reid said. Jessica rolled her eyes as she went to give Tyler a hug.

"You look great." He said into her ear. As Jessica pulled away she smiled and looked Tyler up and down. He was wearing a jean jacket with a black shirt and jeans.

"Looking better with out the tie," she said. Jessica looked at Reid. He was wearing a long sleeved grey shirt that he had rolled up to his elbows. Jessica shook her head and looked away.

"What I don't get a compliment?" he asked.

"No. No you don't." Jessica said before leaving the room. They made their way out to the front to where Tyler's black Jeep was parked.

"Let me drive," Reid said.

"No way dude, it's my car." Tyler said pulling his keys out of his pocket.

"Come on Baby boy its my birthday let me drive." Reid said grabbing the keys out of Tyler's hands. Jessica watched them banter before she opened the door to the back and tried to figure out the most graceful way to get in. Finally she stepped on the step turning around then sat down on the seat sliding into place. After Jessica was seated and buckled in Reid took off out of the parking lot and out onto the road.

"Slow down Reid!" Tyler yelled gripping the side of the car.

"You scared?" Reid asked in a mocking voice.

"No but you're going to fuck up my car." Tyler said angrily.

"Chill I wont do anything to your pretty little…shit!" Reid yelled turning the wheel to avoid the tree that they were about to hit. Jessica watched as both the boy's eyes went fully black before she closed her eyes and pretended to wait for the tree to hit them.

"Jessica, it's fine. We didn't hit anything," Tyler said. She looked at his hand on her leg then looked him in the eye and smiled. She bit her lip and nodded.

"What the fuck Reid?" She yelled playing the part of someone who didn't have a clue, and thought that they really were going to hit the tree even though she saw through their pretty eyes right to their secret.

"I was totally under control."

"So that tree just happened to come out of nowhere?" Jessica asked angrily. She was having too much fun being mad at Reid. "Reid let Tyler drive," she asked in a sweet voice.

"Fine," he said. He and Tyler got out of the car. As they passed each other they both exchanged a look of worry and Jessica just smiled as her plan was slowly coming into play.

Tyler got into the driver's seat then they were back on the road. Jessica watched out the window. Soon they were pulling into a parking lot and Jessica instantly saw Pogue's bike and Caleb's convertible.

"Looks like the lovebirds are here," Jessica said. She opened her door and looked at the ground. Slowly sliding over to the edge of the car and jumping down. She landed awkwardly then she felt Tyler's hand steadying her. "Thanks," She said. He smiled then the three walked into the bar. They found everyone in the back at a table.

"Hey Jessica! Reid! Tyler over here!" Kate called. They weaved their way through the crowd over to them.

Caleb pulled out the seat on his other side for Jessica to sit in. "You hungry?"

"Yeah. I'll just have some fries."

"You sure?" Caleb asked. "Its on me."

"Totally, just fries and a coke. Thanks." Jessica said as Caleb got up to get the food.

Jessica looked at Sarah; she was wearing a pink long sleeve shirt that ended at her ribcage with jeans. Kate was wearing a jean skirt and black halter top. "You guys look nice," Jessica said.

"Thanks. And you are looking good as well. You should show your legs more often." Sarah said and Jessica smiled from the compliment. Caleb came back with everyone's food setting it down on the table. Jessica took a bite of a fry.

"Where did Reid and Tyler go?" She asked not even realizing that they had left the table.

"Pool tables," Pogue said. Jessica looked over at them; they were playing against Aaron and one of his friends. "We better watch out Caleb, they're playing with Aaron."

"Get ready for a fight tonight," Caleb answered.

"Don't worry about it, let's dance." Sarah said. Just then I Love Rock n' Roll came on and Sarah grabbed Caleb pulling him onto the dance floor. "Come on its our song."

Jessica motioned to Pogue to get Kate out there too. He smiled and they both headed onto the dance floor. Jessica watch them dance then she looked over at the pool tables just in time to see Aaron push Reid onto it and yell. Jessica watched as they all walked out the backdoor followed closely by Caleb and Pogue.

"Caleb pegged that one." Jessica said as Kate and Sarah sat back down.

"Yep this normally happens." Sarah said eating a fry with a pout on her face

.

Caleb walked outside totally ticked off that he had to stop dancing to save Reid's ass, again.

"Pay up shit head." Reid said angrily.

"No way we paying you shit." Aaron said getting right up to Reid's face. Caleb stepped outside and shook his head.

"Just forget it Reid." He said walking down the stairs.

"No way Caleb, this bitch owes us money," Reid said. "Pay up," Reid got closer to Aaron, their heads almost touching.

"Reid I'll give the fucking money if you just shut up." Caleb said stepping between him and Aaron. "Go back inside Abbot." He said motioning to the door.

"Better watch your back Garwin, one day daddy Caleb wont be here to save your ass." He said hitting his shoulder against Reid's before going back inside.

"What's the matter with you?" Caleb asked once he knew that the door was closed. "You'll be ascending TONIGHT! And you're still playing these little games. It's addictive moron."

"Its my life," Reid said.

"Ours too," Tyler said. "We're a family, to watch you destroy your life is like doing it to ourselves."

"Wow Baby boy that's deep," Reid said mockingly. Tyler looked down not saying anything.

"Reid, Chase may still be out there, we'll need you if he comes back." Pogue said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, key word, if. What if he doesn't? What if Caleb killed him? Do we spend the rest of our lives waiting? Pogue I don't want to wait anymore."

"I don't think you'll have to." Jessica said coming out from the shadows. She had been listening to the whole thing, every last word that was said she heard. Kate and Sarah were still inside they thought that Jessica had gone out for a little walk and would be back soon.

Jessica looked at each of the boy's faces each were motionless, no one moved, no one spoke. Jessica just smiled at each of them, as she looked them in the eye. Pogue looked like his eyes may pop out, Reid just looked pissed off and a little scared, Tyler's eyes had no emotion and Caleb's eyes were dangerous. This was too good she thought

"Well don't get your tidy whiteys in a knot." Jessica said after a few seconds of silence though it continued to be silent. Jessica watched Caleb's face, he was thinking and he was thinking hard.

"Johnson. Johnson. Johnson." Caleb repeated till, "Johnson! One of the two greatest female witches from Europe." Caleb exclaimed.

"Thank you Caleb, I do like a compliment everyone once in awhile. Oh and my best friend Lilly Macedon, you cant forget Lilly." Jessica said sitting down on a crate and crossing her legs with a bigger smile on her face.

"Wait, what?" Pogue asked. The scared looks on his and the other 2 boys were replaced with confused looks and Jessica was enjoying watching them try to connect the dots.

"The library, you saw the Ipswich book, well one of the many." Jessica nodded. "And that first night at the beach your eyes went blue then back to brown constantly." Jessica nodded some more. "And your dad left on your 13th birthday. It all makes sense."

"Very good. I am kinda surprised that it took so damn long."

"How long did you know?" Tyler asked.

"First time was when Reid tried to lift my skirt up." Reid smiled and laughed. "That's when I first felt that something was different about you four. Then your mom and your house, that's when I really knew. The book, my mom has the exact same copy. And then today I was just setting you all up for the revealing episode." She explained. They all looked at her about ready to attack. "Oh my god chill, will ya? I am not here to kill you for more power. We need to become one."

"I can do that." Reid said coming closer to Jessica. Caleb's eyes went black and Reid went flying a few feet back.

"Stay there," Jessica said.

"Why should I do that?" Reid asked.

"Because if you don't then Chase Collins will remain on the lose and you'll have to wait till he comes to kill you." Jessica said calmly looking straight at Reid.

"What does Chase have to do with you being here?" Reid asked. Caleb rolled his eyes. "How do we know that you can even do anything? AWW! What was that for?" Reid rubbed his head as Jessica's eyes went back to normal.

"Are we satisfied or do I need to 'magically' take your pants off to get you to shut up?" Jessica wiggled her fingers when she said magically.

"I would like it if you did it manually." Jessica groaned, about to punch Reid.

"So what about Chase?" Caleb asked stepping in front of Reid so Jessica couldn't see him. Jessica smiled in an odd way, Chase Collins was her favorite subject and catching him was going to be her favorite activity.

"Chase Collins, brilliant in his own little way, but anyways after you had your little fight he disappeared and we found him. Of course we didn't know what had happen between you and him but I filled in those blanks later. What we did know was that he went a little nutty when we took him in. One night my mom went in to talk to him to find out his blonde lines and where he was from. We didn't want to use just in case, but I kinda wish we did because all he would did was ramble on and on about power and revenge. I wasn't supposed to be in there but curiosity was too great to keep me from that cellar.

"After my mom left I decided to talk to him myself. I thought that I was being helpful. Before I even got into the cellar he snapped back and started to throw airballs around the room, one finally broke through the door and hit me. When I woke up he was gone. We haven't seen him since and then I ended up here. At first I didn't know why but then I remembered something I over heard my mom say to Mrs. Macedon, it was something about finally combining and being stronger. I thought they were talking about something else but then it clicked. We," Jessica gestured to the boys and herself, "along with Lilly, will fight him."

"You know where he is?" Pogue asked. Jessica pressured her lips together and shook her head.

"But I know how we can figure that out."

"And how's that?" Tyler asked. Jessica's smile broadened her eyes turning blue in the process.
