Chapter 8

The next few days were a blur. It was pretty much just a mix of going to class, hanging out at Nicky's with the gang, and oh yeah earth shattering sex with Reid. Speaking of Reid, he finally asked me if I would go to the Fall Fest with him tomorrow night, and of course I had said yes. I talked to Tyler about it later on and he was fine with it, he told me that after what Kate had told him she and Sarah had walked in on, that it would mean Reid was taking me to the dance.

That reminds me of something else that happened this week, Kate and Sarah told every single one of the guys about them walking in on Reid and I, and we never heard the end of it. If it wasn't Tyler making a sleazy innuendo it was Pouge, and every now and then Caleb would throw one in too. I swear I was seriously considering killing Kate and Sarah at this point, but I didn't because they were the only two girls I hang out with and if I killed them that would mean I would have to spend all my time with just a bunch of mean boys.

I was thinking about the Fall Fest while laying in bed with Reid on Friday night. You can probably guess what we had been doing. I swear sex with this guy was like a drug, it was addicting.

We were talking about the dance tomorrow night and our plans for the weekend seeing as Reid's parents were out of town and he had that huge estate all to himself. I was remembering the fact that Reid had a big king sized bed at his house, not to mention a hot tub the size of my dorm room. I was running ideas through my head when my door flew open. I swear I locked that thing this time, but judging on who walked into my room that really wouldn't have mattered.

"What the fuck?" Reid yelled as Caleb, followed by Tyler, entered my room.

"Get dressed" Caleb said throwing Reid's jeans at him from my desk chair.

"Turn around" Reid said. Once the guys had turned to face the other direction Reid stood up and put on his pants. Feeling weird about being the only one in the room with no clothes on, I wrapped the sheet around my body grabbed my clothes from there spot on the floor and went into my bathroom to get dressed. By the time I re-entered the room Reid looked like someone had punched him in the stomach. I went over to him.

"Reid what's wrong?" I asked not understanding his expression. He didn't say anything he just pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around me protectively.

"What's going on?" I asked Caleb, the look on his face matched Reid's and when I glanced at Ty I noticed that his did as well.

"Pouge and Kate are in the hospital." Caleb said sinking into my desk chair.

"What happened?" I asked pulling myself free of Reid's grasp and going to kneel in front of Caleb.

"Chase did it." Tyler said, he was standing by the door looking like he was ready to kill someone. I had never, in all the years I had known Ty, seen him look so angry. If I wasn't so worried about Kate and Pouge I would have been terrified.

"What happened?" I asked again, shaking Caleb's shoulder slightly. I could tell he was in shock, and that idea did scare me. If something was bad enough to have Caleb acting like this…I didn't even want to think about it.

"What did Chase do Caleb?" I said trying to get an answer out of him.

"He's one of us." He said simply, his voice so low that I almost didn't hear him.

"What do you mean he's one of you? That's not possible, is it?" I asked looking back and forth between all three of them. Reid had moved off to the side and was now staring out my window at the rainy night sky.

"It's possible, I don't have time to explain it in detail, but it is possible." Caleb answered, looking down at his hands.

"He put a spell on Kate, and then caused Pouge to crash his bike. He then proceeded to beat the shit out of him." Tyler said through clenched teeth.

"Where's Sarah?" I asked noticing that nobody had mentioned her.

"I took her to my house, which is why we are here. We are taking you there too." Caleb had finally seemed to snap out of whatever trance he had been in. Now he was back to being the full on fearless leader of the group.

"Ok. Just let me pack some stuff." I walked over to where Reid was and wrapped my arms around him.

"It's going to be ok Reid." I said as he wrapped his arms around me too.

"I'm not going to let him get near you." He said his voice filled with anger and fear.

"I know you won't. I guess this means that we aren't going to the dance tomorrow huh?" I asked trying to lighten the mood a little. He gave me a half smile and then hugged me again.

"Yes we are, at least you three are, but we can discuss the details when we get to my house." Caleb said standing up. I didn't understand how we could possibly go to a dance during this whole mess, but I have learned from experience that you don't question Caleb's methods, they might not always seem logical, but there is a reason he is the leader. I grabbed my duffel bag and quickly packed everything I would need for tonight and tomorrow, and then I ran to my closet and grabbed the dress bag that contained the dress I had bought the week before.

"Ok, I'm ready" I said grabbing my keys.

"Reid you go with Tyler in the Hummer and go to the hospital and stay with Pouge and Kate. I will take Brittany and her car and go to my house to protect her and Sarah. Chase said he wouldn't do anything until tomorrow night but I don't trust him to keep his word." Caleb said talking my keys from me. He and Tyler left the room after that, I guess they wanted to give me and Reid a few moments alone before we left.

"I love you" Reid said pulling me too him.

"I love you too" I said trying to keep the tears from falling and giving me away.

"Caleb will keep you safe." He said kissing my hair.

"I'm not too worried about me right now" I said cupping his cheek with my hand. He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine.

"I will get to Caleb's as soon as I can." He said brushing his thumb across my lips.

"I know you will. You take care of yourself, and keep Pouge and Kate safe tonight." I said hugging him once more before we walked out the door.
