Carrie's POV
He wouldn't let me pass, but instead he grabbed me closer to him. I screamed a little, I guess the guys heard and they came back for us girls. "Let he go, Abbot" I heard Caleb say.
"What if I don't, Danvers? What are you going to do about it?" replied Aaron moving me closer towards him, as I glared at him.
All of a sudden I felt myself being pulled away from Aaron. "If you haven't noticed, she's not into you." It was Reid.
I noticed I was standing next to Caleb and he looked like he was about to punch the living crap out of Aaron. I didn't want the boys to get in trouble because of me, so I motioned for Al to grab Reid and go. I took a hold of Caleb's had and said, "C'mon, let's go. I don't want to be late. Please Caleb."
He looked at me and nodded, I held on to his hand as we walked to our next class I felt safe and happy holding on to his hand. I know my parents recently died and I'm supposed to be real sad about it, but Caleb gave me such an urge to smile. We managed to get to class on time; we quickly went to our seats. The teacher told us about our project. It was a couple's project. I was paired with Caleb, Pogue with Kate, and Terrie with Tyler, and Alice with Reid. The teacher paired everyone together and she noticed there was an odd number in the class, leaving Karen with no partner. She decided to put Karen in Pogue and Kate's group to make it "interesting".
The point of the project is that we're supposed to be a couple for three weeks and throughout the time being together we will have different assignments. For the rest of the class we just talked to our partners and answered a questionnaire we were given. Caleb and I finished ours with 15 minutes of class left to spare. "Thanks for saving me at first" I said to him, giving him a genuine smile for the first time since my parents died.
"No problem," he replied. "By the way, I missed your smile."
I felt myself blushing at his comment. "Uhh…thanks?" I replied in a questioning tone.
"No problem, girlfriend!" he said jokingly.
I laughed silently at his joke. We continued to talk, until I felt myself yawn. "Am I really that boring?" I heard Caleb ask.
"No, you're quite entertaining actually, but I guess I haven't been getting much sleep lately." I replied, feeling another yawn coming.
"Why not? What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing, just couldn't' really sleep. I'm fine, don't worry about it."I replied, giving him a reassuring smile.
"Well, if you ever need someone to talk to. I'm always available, even if it's 3AM in the morning." He said to me looking at me in the eyes, causing me to blush.
"Th-thanks" I replied stuttering.
He was laughing at my reaction, I then punched his arm. "Ow!" he said laughing, even louder.
This caused people to start, as Caleb start to laugh a little harder. "Caleb, stop!" I said, covering my face that was probably redder than a tomato.
He finally stopped laughing as people went back to their assignments. I pretended to be mad at him as people start to get back to their work. "Aw, c'mon Carrie, it was kind of funny." He said.
I ignored him and looked away as he kept trying to talk to me. After a while he gave up, so we both just sat there. Since neither of us was talking, I fell asleep. "Carrie."I heard someone say.
I jumped up and hit my head on something. I looked up and it wasn't something, it was someone. That someone was Caleb. "I'm so sorry, Caleb!" I exclaimed, watching him rub his chin.
"It's okay" he said to me weakly.
"I'm so sorry, here let me take a look at that." I said, moving closer to his face. "I'm so sorry."
"At least I didn't get a bruise." He replied jokingly.
"Damn it, Caleb, I'm so sorry."
"I'm fine Carrie, don't worry." He replied, grabbing my hand. "I'm sorry, I made you mad."
"I wasn't mad Caleb. I was just marring with you. Then I guess I fell asleep." I said. "Let's go, class is over."
We both walked out of class, quietly laughing. Throughout the day the guys managed to make me laugh a lot and I was glad. They kept me busy, instead of thinking wrong. We were once again sitting outside under the tree. We all sat there quietly eating lunch. Karen and I were having a staring contest. We were doing this while eating, then Karen blinked. "HA! I win!" I exclaimed, laughing.
We were both laughing, while everyone was staring at us, weirdly. "What? Staring contest." I said.
Then we both went back to eating and talking. The next few days were pretty boring. When I wasn't around them I broke down and cried. I missed my family so much. For the next two weeks, the girls and their parent's help with the funeral stuff. I was so tired of everything. I was about to explode. I was alone, with no one in this world. My parents and brother was gone. All my relatives avoided my family like a plague, unless they wanted money. Other than that, they didn't care for my family. I was in some where new, with no one else in my life. "Carrie, are you okay?" I hear Caleb as me.
"I'm fine." I said quietly, noticing the tears, I wiped them away.
I was about to get up, then all of a sudden I got a headache, and I also felt myself power up. I think I was gaining another element. Then all of a sudden Terrie was powering up too. We were both screaming in pain. Alice and Karen helped us up, and we ran in to a forest area near school to be covered up from other people. However, the guys and Kate followed, we were in trouble now. How were we going to explain this to her? Once again I felt someone try to enter my mind and the person was close. I attacked in the direction I felt the person was at. After that I felt that the person was gone. Once we got close into the forest Karen and Alice let us go and we both started to attack each other. There was really no way anyone could stop us, until the whole fight was over.
Terrie at the moment wasn't really Terrie; she was being controlled by her element's spirit. It is basically the spirit of our first relative of the warlock bloodline. We were to fight and to get to the core of the magic until they released the full extent of their power. As we fought there was a shield around us to prevent anyone else to get hurt. I was slammed on to the shield, it was painful. Then I fell on to the ground. I heard Caleb and Tyler screaming at Alice and Karen. "Why aren't you two helping them?"
"We can't," explained Karen, calmly. "No one can help them, but themselves. Until Carrie can get to the core of Terrie's power or else this won't stop."
I got up then again; I was slammed to the shield once again. I was already in pain; this was going to be long. I noticed tears were falling out of Ter's eyes. "I'll be fine, Ter! Don't worry!" I said to her, since she can still see and hear everything.
I finally managed to attack her. When she got up I teleported behind her and pushed her back on to the ground. Then made a portal as she fell in the portal, and she appeared out of nowhere in the sky and was falling straight down towards the ground. I was grabbed by a vine and Terrie pulled me up to the sky as we both fought each other with hand to hand combat. When we got back to the ground we slammed each other against the shield. When the smoke disappeared, we were both on the ground, breathing hard. We were attacking each other with all our might. We didn't want to attack one another, but we had no choice. We managed to hit one another, with the smoke surrounding us. All of a sudden Terrie managed to wrap vine around me and it tightened against me. I was screaming in pain and it tightened even more, like a how a snake sometimes wraps itself around its victim till its dead. It was wrapped against me so hard that it went through my skin and I had cuts in many places. I was bleeding. I cut off the vine and took the vine that was wrapped around me as a whip.
I used my light power and made it stronger. Every time it hit Terrie, it electrocuted her. Seeing her in pain made me cry, I couldn't stand it to see her in so much pain. But neither of us had a choice; these were the things that our powers made us do. "I'm sorry, Terrie." I said, as tears ran down my cheeks.
After I don't know how long I finally got to the core. The tattoo was being burned in to my back and up to the back of my neck. I hated this so much, the pain was unbearable. Finally it was over, I felt myself falling towards the ground, but Karen stopped me in time. I was put lightly on to the ground. I dragged myself towards Terrie, to see if Terrie was, well Terrie. I took a hold of her hand as she smiled at me. We were both very weak, next thing I know all I saw was black.
When I woke up I was in my room, I groaned and felt people was all sitting around me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Caleb, Karen and Reid. "Hey Ri, how are you doing?" asked Karen quietly.
"Like I was slammed in to a brick wall a million times." I said, weakly.
"So you're fine. That's great! Kate's freaked out." Karen said, smiling weakly.
I slowly got out of bed. When I stood up I almost fell until Caleb got a hold of me. "Thank you" I said to him with a smile.
"No problem," he replied with a smile.
I was about to walk out the room, when Karen said, "Wait! Are you going to tell her or erase her memories of what happened?"
"I'm telling her the truth. We can't hide it from her for long. If u haven't noticed Kate lives us." I said.
"I guess, what about you guys Caleb?" asked Karen.
"We're going to tell Kate too. We trust Kate and Pogue wanted to tell her for a long time now. Since he doesn't want to keep lying to Kate" said Caleb.
The four of us walked out the room, Caleb with his arms still around my waist. Once we walked downstairs, Kate stopped pacing around and was about to run out the door. I got to her before it happened. "Kate, please let me explain." I said weakly and quietly.
She quickly walked back over to Pogue. "Um, you might want to sit for this." I said.
It was first silent I didn't know exactly where to start. How was I supposed to tell someone out of our group this? Our history isn't something we would really tell anyone. So I started with the only way I could think about telling her. I powered up a light ball in my hand. "Kate, what do you think this is?" I asked, calmly.
Since I was still weak from the fight with Terrie earlier, the light lasted like half a minute. "M-magic" said Kate stuttering.
"Yes, magic. Something that is a fairytale to other people, to some magic is happy, unlimited, and to others it's powerful, unstoppable. To me, it's a curse, a deadly one. Magic is worse than evil. I was born with this type of power, the power of light and dark, like a ying and yang sign. I'm supposed to be the peacemaker. But I'm not the only one with this power, there are all the elements of earth; fire, water, and also nature. All instilled in Karen, Terrie, Alice and I, ever since the day we were born. These powers have been going on all the way back since before the Salem Witch Trial, ancestor after ancestor. My older brother, mother, father, the all have, well had this power. Before they passed away, they willed me their power, which meant that they transferred me their powers. It makes me stronger, but to me it doesn't matter. I don't care how strong I get, it doesn't bring me back my parents, or my brother because of these stupid powers my whole family is gone. With these powers we can choose to read other people's minds, speak to each other telepathically; see into the future, but not by choice. The thing we see and who has that vision is not by choice. What we see is so dark, that sometimes we don't even know what innocence is anymore. We have so much enough darkness that we can't even begin to trust strangers or open up anymore. We also can materialize things, teleport, and fly. We each have our own respective elemental powers, but we also gain each other's elemental powers. However our own power is the strongest, if we use each other's elements we are weakened. We are not evil, Kate. We're not going to hurt you or anyone at all. " I said to her.
I looked at her to see what she was going to do. But I had to make sure she wasn't going to run, so I put up an invisible shield that it wouldn't hurt her. She was scared that much I knew. I walked up to her, I was about to take her hand, until she pushed me away and I fell. "Oh damn it! Carrie, are you okay?" said Karen.
"I'm fine," I said weakly giving her a small smile.
Caleb came over and picked me up. He then placed me on the couch. "You still need to rest." He said to me.
"Thanks" I said, weakly.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you fall, Carrie." Said Kate,
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. But, please don't be afraid of us. You're the only one who knows; we really mean no harm to you. Besides, Karen, Terrie, Alice, and I have never found a person we can talk to and spend so much time with. The four of us were always together; we never became such great friends with another female. We really hope you can accept us," I said to her, still very weakly.
"I'm not afraid, just shocked, I guess," said Kate, slowly. "Wait, what do you mean I'm the only one who knows? What about the boys?"
"Kate, you might want to sit down for this one," said Caleb, speaking up.
The Caleb explained to Kate about their Covenant. "Is this true? Like you guys are not joking around, right?" asked Kate, after another long explanation.
"They're telling us the truth," said Karen.
Then Karen started to tell Kate about how their families saved our parents and how we owe it to them. Surprisingly, in the end Kate took it pretty well. She accepted each and every one of us. At first she was a little mad at Pogue for not telling her, but later on understood. Kate also promised us that she won't tell anyone. We were all really glad. After that, we went upstairs to check up on Terrie. Karen told Alice that I told, and then looked at me for confirmation, which I gladly gave her. "Holy fuck!" exclaimed Alice.
I glared at her then threw a water bottle at her for cussing like that. This made Karen laugh and Alice glared at me. "Okay, I get it," she said, as she used magic to throw the bottle back at me.
I dodged it and it hit Caleb on the shoulders. We all laughed as Caleb rubbed his shoulder. "Sorry!" exclaimed Alice.
"Are you okay?" I asked, still slightly laughing and putting my hand on his shoulder.
"I'm fine, it's okay" he said.
After a while we all quieted down, I went over and sat down on the side of Terrie's bed. I took a hold of her hand; I watch the both of our hands glow. Then I kept watching her face, until she revealed her dark brown eyes. "Hey Terrie," I said, smiling weakly.
Terrie shot straight up, to say something. "No, no, no, sit back down. Get some rest not, Ter. We both know it in our hearts." I said to her, with a weak smile.
I then got up to go to my room to rest. However, I was still weak and fell right in to Caleb's arms.
