Chapter 7

Author: Ok, just one thing before I get into the story. In this chapter I am going back and forth with Caleb and Pogue to Kegan and Chase, so I will put lines but I just didn't want to confuse anyone. Enjoy!

Kegan went running into the school with tears streaming down her face. She heard someone calling her name, but she just couldn't stop herself from running. She wanted to be somewhere safe. She got to her door and tried to stick her key in, but she was shaking so bad that she dropped it. "Damnit!" she yelled bending down.

"Hey!" Chase yelled smiling, but soon turned serious when he saw that she was crying.

"What's wrong?" he asked helping her.

"Chase, something happened." She sobbed.

"What? What happened?"

"Reid, he went crazy. It wasn't like him. He just went so completely crazy on me."

"What do you mean? How?"

"I was walking in the woods because we got into a fight and then I felt him grab me and he started hurting me. He squeezed my arm. Then all of the sudden he just threw me against the tree. I could breathe. I couldn't breathe." She wouldn't stop repeating herself. "He was trying to kill me and I couldn't do anything about it. I kept begging and begging but he wouldn't let me go." She felt her knees begin to give way. Chase caught her in his arms as she sobbed. "I'm so scared right now. I don't know what to do."

"You're going to be ok. We are going to get this straightened out."

"I'm so scared." She began shaking his arms. "It wasn't like him at all. He would never do something like that to me."

"Well evidently he would because he did."

"Chase, I know Reid. He just wouldn't lash out on my like that. Caleb maybe, but not me."

"He hurt you Kegan. You don't need to be with someone like that."

"He did hurt me." She began crying again. Chase pulled her close.

"Shhh." He tried calming her down. "I am going to stay with you tonight. You aren't going to be alone."

"Will you?" she sniffed and looked up at him. He gave her a gentle smile.

"Of course. You are shaking so bad. I think you might go into shock if I don't stay with you." He helped her to her feet. "Why is that you are always wet when I find you?" he asked. Kegan couldn't help but laugh a little.

"It never stops raining here. I've learned that." He grabbed her keys off the floor and opened her door.

"No roommate?" he asked.

"Never seems like it."

"Well, then I guess I will sleep in her bed. Don't tell her that."

Kegan smiled. She gently laid down on her bed. She didn't even bother to cover up. Chase saw this. He smiled to himself. Finally he had won her trust. It was over between Reid, and he knew it. He smiled over at her before laying down. Kegan closed her eyes as she felt tears stream down her cheek. She wiped them away and opened her eyes again. She turned over and saw with light from the street light glowing over her desk. She saw the picture of her and the boys smiling. She smiled to herself, but closed her eyes. Tomorrow was not going to be a good day.

The next morning Kegan woke up to a loud knock on her door. She opened her eyes slightly. She wiped her face before getting up. She opened the door to a very pissed off Caleb.

"So you get out of the car and you tell him that you are just going to walk back the rest of the way to school?" he asked walking in,

"Good morning Caleb." Kegan responded closing the door.

"Did you just get in?" he asked.

"No, I slept in my clothes."

"Why is your eyes so swollen? Have you been crying?"

"Caleb, its early ok. I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Yeah lets talk about it. What happened to your neck? Kegan you…" He looked over at Michelle's bed. He saw Chase's face. "What is going on?"

"Its nothing ok. Chase just found me upset last night and offered to stay with me. Michelle is never here so he didn't want me to be alone. He was just being a good friend."

"Friend?" Caleb whispered.

"Yes Caleb. I do have those outside of you guys."

"I know that." Caleb was getting annoyed.

"Don't you have swim practice or something?"

"Yes, but I was more pissed at you."

"Wait you are pissed at me after what you pulled last night?"

"Talk to your boyfriend."

"You guys are little kids, fighting all the time. Why don't you guys learn to grow up!" She opened the door and went out it.

"Kegan!" Reid yelled from across the hall. Kegan's head shot in the direction that Reid was calling her name. She turned around and quickened her pace to get away from him. He went running after her still calling her name. He grabbed her arm and tried to turn her around. "Hey…" he softly replied.

"Get off me!" she screamed shoving him back. He had obviously scared her.

"I'm sorry." He backed away. Her scream had caused Caleb to come out of her room, and everyone to stop and stare at them.

"Don't come near me!" she sobbed. Caleb went and pushed Reid back away from his sister. She turned around and covered her mouth before running away.

"What was that about?" Caleb asked glaring at Reid.

"I don't know. She just freaked out on me."

"What did you do Reid?"

"Nothing!" he yelled. "I swear."

"We have practice right now, but you count on me talking to you afterwards."

"Cant wait!" Reid spat before walking away. Chase had came out of Kegan's room with a smile on his face. He shut the door and followed them to their swim practice.

"What's going on?" Pogue asked while waiting on them. "Where have you guys been?"

"Something happened with Kegan last night and ass over there had something to do with it." Caleb replied pointing to Reid, who just glared.

"What happened?"

"I don't know she wont tell us. She just freaked out on Reid a few minutes ago. I found Chase asleep in her room with her."

"What?" Pogue yelled.

"Not in the same bed, just in the same room."

"Well still. I don't trust him. Kate is pissed at me. She kept telling me that I am so jealous of her. She wont talk to me."

"Well are you?"

"Am I what?"

"Jealous?"

"Of course not. Why would I be jealous of Chase?"

"Did I say Chase?"

Pogue stared at him friend who had a huge grin on his face. "Man shut up. I'm not jealous. She is just always all over boys and being so friendly with them. It gets kind of annoying."

Caleb couldn't help but laugh.

"What happened?" Tyler asked,

"I don't know. She just flipped out on me. I don't even know what I did to her."

"Maybe she is still mad from last night."

"No, she was scared for me to even touch her."

Tyler just looked at him. "You were in the room the whole night last night though."

Reid shrugged. He saw Chase coming out of the locker room with his swim shorts on. "What's this? Does he actually think he is going to get on this team?"

"Hey fellows." Chase responded walking up to them. Pogue just turned around and faced the water. Chase smiled, before turning to Caleb. "How's the water?"

"You on the swim team now?"

"Yeah the coach let me try out today."

"What you actually think you are good or something?" Reid asked smirking.

Chase smiled. "Yeah maybe."

"Everyone knows that Caleb's the best. No one has ever beat him." Tyler responded. Chase turned to Caleb who was smiling.

"Really?" Chase looked at Caleb. "Well we will see about that?"

"Wait, are you challenging him?" Tyler asked.

"What do you say?" Chase asked.

"Let's see what you got." Caleb replied. The two boys got to the edge of the pool.

"This outta be good." Reid replied. Pogue looked at him and smiled.

"On your mark, GO!" Pogue yelled. He watched as the two boys dove into the water and began racing. Chase remained with Caleb the whole time. On the second round, Chase was still at Caleb's side. As they reached the finish. Caleb felt power go through him, but he couldn't react in time. He hit the wall and his world went black.

"Caleb!" Pogue yelled. "Caleb!" he slapped him on the face. Caleb's eyes flickered open.

'What happened?" Caleb asked

"Chase saved your life man." Tyler replied.

"What?"

"You hit the wall and it knocked you out. He got in and got you out before you sucked up too much water."

"Thanks for that Tyler." Caleb sat up and held his head. He looked up at Chase. "Thanks man."

"It was nothing. Oh yeah it looks like I won." Chase got up with a smile and walked away. Pogue helped his friend to his feet.

"You alright?" he asked noticing Caleb was a little out of it.

"I don't know. My head hurts."

"Come on lets go."

"What the hell happened to you?" Kegan asked as she saw her brother walking towards them with a bruise on the side of his head.

"I hit my head in the swimming pool?"

"Doing what?"

"Swimming." Kegan couldn't help but start laughing.

"Its not funny. My head hurts like hell."

Kegan couldn't help but smile. "Caleb you are suppose to be the best swimmer here and you hit your head."

"I know, something happened."

"What?" Caleb just turned away from her. "Are you going to tell me?"

"What are you doing tonight?" Caleb changed the subject.

"I don't know. Chase invited me to go out with him for coffee or something. So I think I might go. Get away from here for a few hours."

"Keg, don't go."

"Huh?"

"I think something is up with him."

"What do you mean?"

"In the pool…"

"Wait, Chase was in the pool? What, is he on the swim team now?"

"Yeah Coach let him try out, but that's beside the point. We were racing…"

"Did he kick your ass or something?"

"KEGAN!" he yelled, causing her to jump backwards. "I'm sorry, but just listen. Gua you're so freaking annoying to talk to about something serious." Kegan couldn't help but laugh. "His eyes went black. It was like he couldn't take being beat. I felt power running through me, but I couldn't do anything. I hit my head and I was out."

"His eyes went black?"

"Yeah."

"Caleb, you said there were only four of you."

"That's because the fifth family was banished. They were taking advantage of the covenant. They wanted more and more power. We thought they all died, but it looks like one hasn't."

"Chase cant be apart of it."

"He can, and I think he is. Keg, don't go out with him tonight. I think he might be the one that's being messing with you."

"He wouldn't do that. He's like one of my best friends. He has helped me through everything."

"Think about it. He has always been around when this stuff has happened to you. That night in your room, he was outside doing god knows what, in the woods when you found out about us, he was there. When something happened last night, he found you. He has to have something to do with it. I think he had something to do with that boy's death too."

"Caleb, this is ridiculous."

"I know. I know that you like him, hell I liked him too. But he is trying to tear us apart. He's doing that by getting to you."

Kegan shook her head and backed away from him. "What do I do?"

"You believe me?" Caleb was surprised.

"Caleb…" she started but stopped. "Can you guys turn into other people?"

"What do you mean?"

"Can you turn into someone else and pretend to be them?"

"I heard of some being able to, but you have to have ascended already to be able to have that kind of power. Why?"

She turned away from him. Caleb walked up to her. "What is it?"

"Last night, while I was walking home someone, Reid, came and found me. He looked so pissed and was just yelling at me about not talking to him. He called me a Danvers that's why he was mad. He grabbed me by my throat and slammed me up against a tree and was choking me. He wouldn't let me go. His eyes were so full of hatred."

"He did what?" Caleb yelled clenching his fist.

They heard a noise behind them and turned around. It was Chase. "Hey you ready to go?" He asked walking up with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, let me get my things from my room."

"Wow, sorry about the head man. I'm glad you are ok."

"Its no problem. Hey Keg, me and Pogue have something to do tonight. Just remember what I told you. If you see Reid tell him I need to talk to him."

"I doubt ill see him but sure." Kegan smiled at her brother. Caleb turned around and walked away. "Would you like to come in?"

"Sure. Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I just told him about Reid."

"Yeah he looked pissed."

"Yeah well there some things going on too that he isn't really making sense about."

"Like what?"

"I don't know really. I think that hit to the head did some damage." Chase laughed.

"Well you ready to go."

"Hey Chase, can we just stay here tonight?"

"You said you wanted to get off campus."

"I know, but I just don't feel good. I think its lack of sleep."

"Well I think coffee will do a good job of curing that." He smiled. 'Don't get mad. She is going to come.' He thought to himself. He could feel himself getting angry. Kegan stared at him for a moment. Suddenly Kegan's jacket began to vibrate.

"Hold that thought!" she replied. (-----hahahha that's hilarious! Ok sorry!) She answered her phone to a shaking Sarah. "Sarah are you ok?"

"I had a dream."

"About what?"

"Spiders. They were everywhere. They were all over the place. In my bed, on the ceiling, on Kate. I don't know but it just scared me to death. Kate is getting really sick too. I don't know what is going on."

"You just had a nightmare. How did Kate get sick?"

"I don't know I think its just a cold or something."

"Just tell her to sleep it off. You need to calm down though. You just had a bad dream that's all. I use to have dreams about spiders all the time when I was little."

"It just felt so real."

"I know what you mean."

"You want to do something tonight?"

"I am going off with Chase right now for coffee. You are welcome to come." Chase's head shot towards Kegan who wasn't even looking at him. He began clenching his fist.

"No, I just got back from the library. I am meeting up with your brother soon.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, that's for inviting me. You guys have a good time."

"Ok, well you two have fun and behave!"

"I will." Kegan hung up the phone and turned to Chase. "Bad dream about spiders."

"Oh, that's weird."

"Yeah, well I use to have them."

"About spiders?"

"Yeah weird huh?"

He nodded his head wit ha smile on his face. "Well we can go now if you want." She replied. She got up off the bed and grabbed her jacket. Chase followed her out of her room.

Late on that night Caleb had convinced Pogue to meet him at the office of the school. It was raining and Pogue was getting irritated. "Why are we here?" he asked.

"I have to know something."

"About what?"

"Chase."

"What about him?"

"Did you not see what he did in the pool?"

"He saved your life, that's what I saw."

"His eyes went jet black Pogue. I could see it in the water. As he was coming up, his eyes went black, then my world went black. He has to be the fifth. I have to know."

"So what are you going to do break into the office to get this information?"

"His file is in here. It has to have something about him to give us a clue."

Pogue rolled his eyes and followed Caleb over to the gate. Caleb jumped over first, with Pogue following him. All the sudden Caleb's eyes went black and unlocked the door, while Pogue looked around. They opened the door and hurried in. "Ok, just start trying to find his file. There has to be something in here about him."

"How about we look in the file drawer." Pogue replied sarcastically. Caleb ignored him, and rushed over to the drawer. He opened it and found the C's and found Chase's file. "Chase Collins, his parents died in a car crash a couple of years ago. It said it was freak accident."

"I can't believe this." Pogue said.

"Pogue, Kegan's out with him right now." Caleb looked up at his friend with concerned look in his eyes.

"What?" Pogue yelled. Caleb put his finger to his lips. "You let her go out with him?" he whispered.

"Yes, I didn't really believe it at the time." He whispered.

"Caleb, do you not understand what you just did?"

"Yes. Here let's just read the rest." They began to read the rest of Chase's file, until they heard a sound coming from the door.

"See I told you, you would like getting out that place for a while." Chase replied holding the door open for Kegan. She tried to smile at him but couldn't. She knew something was up with him and she couldn't shake what Caleb had said to her. "Is something wrong?"

"No, I'm fine. Just a little tired. I think I am getting sick." She lied.

"Oh well then we can right back to school if you want."

"Thanks." She smiled at him. She turned around to look at the menu, while Chase closed his eyes and threw his head back. He was getting mad. She wasn't interested in him, well not like he wanted her too. He wanted her by his side when he decided to strike. He wanted her with him and not Reid. He knew he had to get her some how, whether her being willing, or by force. He knew Caleb had seen his eyes go black when they were racing in the water. He had to do something now.

"You know I'm starting not to feel too good either. It's probably this cold weather we are having and it raining all the time." Chase admitted.

"Yeah I think I am getting a cold." Kegan looked up from the menu. She smiled at him as he began looking at her. She returned back to the menu. Chase smirked before his eyes went completely black, a gush of wind came through causing Kegan to shiver. "Whoo!" she shivered. "It just got cold in here."

"You ok?" he asked. "Here use my jacket." He moved over beside her and wrapped his jacket around her shoulders, but remained beside her. She smiled at him, but felt very uneasy with him still sitting beside her. She tensed up praying he would move. "Kegan…" she heard her name being called. Her head shot towards Chase, who was just staring at her. "Did you say something?" she asked. It was the same chilling noise that caused her to be scared that night.

"No." Chase replied.

"I swear you just said my name."

"I didn't say anything." Chase smiled at her. She was scared. She closed the menu and got up.

"Um…I think its time to leave now." She walked to the door and made sure that Chase was following her. He was, he was on her tail. She opened the door, only to have Chase grab her arm.

"Wait!" he replied turning her around. "What's wrong?"

"You said my name Chase. You said it just like that night in the woods." She pulled away. He grabbed her arm again and pulled her to him. She stared straight into his eyes. They were piercing green. Her mind went back to the night before. "It was you!" she cried. She pushed him away. "Stay away from me!" she yelled. She began to run from him not even looking back.

"I am going to call Reid and Tyler to tell them to meet us at the house. We need to talk." Caleb replied on his cell phone as he rushed to his mustang. They just found enough information about Chase to know that he is the fifth son of the covenant. Caleb was scared to death for Kegan. He knew she was with him right now. He just hoped that he hadn't touched her. Before Pogue hung up his cell he began talking to Caleb as he rushed to his motorcycle. "What about Kate?"

"I guess she's still pissed at you." Caleb replied.

"No, I mean you don't think he would go after her? She was sick this morning. Sarah too Caleb. What if.."

"No! We cant think about that right now. I have to know if its true. I need Reid to tell me that he wasn't the one who killed that boy."

"Its Chase man. I know it is and your sister is involved with him."

"Shut up Pogue!" Caleb yelled before hanging up the phone. Caleb stomped on the gas harder. Soon they both arrived at the dark house where everyone was already there to meet them. They both ran down the steps to the basement where Reid and Tyler were sitting around the circle.

Kegan continued to run. Chase wasn't anywhere in sight. She had tears streaming down her face but she continued to run without looking back. She felt her cell begin to ring. "Hello!" she sobbed. She was out of breath but she couldn't stop herself.

"Kegan." Sarah sounded like she had been crying as well.

"Sarah?"

"Yeah its me. Something happened Kegan." Sarah sobbed.

"Tell me about it!" Kegan slowed her pace but still continued to jog.

"I know about your brother. He ended up telling me earlier today before he went off with Pogue."

"He did?" she asked.

"Yeah, I found out about it through books in the library. I saw a thing on spiders and how its caused by a spell."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Kegan, Kate's sick. She just began throwing up and then she just passed out and wont wake up now. I think something happened to her. I took her to the hospital and the doctors said that something bite her."

"Chase!" Kegan yelled. "It has to be him."

"What?"

"He's after me Sarah. He has been stalking me for a long time and I didn't even know it. He turned on Caleb today in the pool. He has to be the one doing this to everyone. When I was little had a dream about spiders and my dad always told me about how they were part of a spell, but I never believed him. I always thought he was just trying to scare me."

"Are you ok now?"

"Yeah, I ran from him, but I don't know where he is now." Kegan finally stopped running and bent over trying to catch her breath. "Listen Pogue's really worried about her. She was mad at him. Call them and tell them. He deserves to know."

"Its bad Kegan. They don't think she is going to make it." Sarah had lost control and was sobbing.

"I need you to calm down ok. Call Pogue and tell him. I am on my way ok."

Sarah made a noise before Kegan hung up the phone. She looked up and saw Michelle getting into a car. "Michelle!" Kegan yelled running towards her.

"Hey Kegan!" Michelle replied happy to see her roommate.

"I need a ride back to school. Please its an emergency."

Michelle nodded her head. Kegan hurried to get into the car.

Caleb's cell began to ring in his pocket. He looked over at Reid who was terrified for Kegan. He had found out that Chase had something to do with everything that has been going on after being accused of killing the kids on the cliffs. "Are you sure?" Caleb asked. Everyone's head shot to him. "Ok. I'll meet you at the dorms. Stay at the dorms and do not leave." He hung up the phone.

"What is it?" Pogue asked
"It's Kate, Chase put a spell on her... creaturistic... spiders." Caleb looked at Pogue, suddenly Pogue shot up from his seat with Caleb following him. "What!" Pogue yelled.
"Relax don't do anything stupid." Caleb replied moving towards his friend, but Pogue took off up the stairs
"We're talking about Kate!" He was gone. Caleb and the boys went running after him. Pogue jumped on his bike. His eyes were already black. He was mad, he was mad as hell. First Chase messed with his best friend and now his girlfriend. He pressed the gas harder. He saw a figure standing in the middle of the road. "Come to save little Ms. Muffet, have you?" Chase replied. He had been waiting for Pogue. He had to tear them apart one by one to get to the Caleb. All he wanted from Caleb was his power and his sister. He had to have both.

"I'll kill you!" Pogue yelled. He revved up his motorcycle before going full speed towards Chase who raised his arms in the air.

Meanwhile Kegan had gotten to the school and jumped into her BMW and sped towards the house that Sarah told her about. She was still crying. She saw a figure standing the road and a motorcycle speeding towards him. She pressed the gas harder, until she saw something fly towards Pogue sending him flying into the air, towards her car. "POGUE!" She screamed. She knew he would hit her car. She turned the wheel and ran straight into the ditch. She hit her head on the steering wheel causing her to black out for a moment. She slowly woke up moments later. She opened the car and stumbled out to find Pogue laying on the pavement, not moving. She rushed over to him. "Pogue!" she yelled sobbing. "You're going to be ok. HELP!" she screamed. She saw his bike. It was in pieces laying on the road. If he would have hit her, she probably would have killed him. She looked up but Chase was gone. "Pogue wake up!" she yelled. "Somebody!" She was holding onto his hand as she looked around. No one was in sight. "Please hold on." She saw lights coming towards them. She let go of him and began jumping in the air waving her hands. It was Caleb's mustang and Tyler's Hummer. They immediately stopped and rushed over to her. "He's not breathing." She sobbed. Caleb wrapped his arms around her, holding her in his arms. "He needs help. We need to get him to the hospital."

"Keg, your bleeding." Tyler noticed.

"I ran into the ditch to keep from hitting Pogue. It was Chase, Caleb. You were right. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you."

"Shh. Its ok. You're safe now. It doesn't matter."

"It was him last night." Caleb had let go of her and Reid rushed over to her. "It wasn't you. I knew you could have never done anything like that to me."

"Caleb told me. I am so sorry." Reid wrapped his arms around her.

"Reid, I'm so scared. Kate's sick. She was bitten by spiders. I think he's going after Sarah next."

Caleb's head shot towards her. "We need to get him to the hospital." Caleb replied.

"Get him in the hummer and we will take him. Caleb you go to Sarah." Tyler replied. They carefully picked Pogue up and placed him in the backseat of the Hummer, with Kegan holding his head.

"Hold on Pogue, everything's going to be ok." She sobbed. "I thought you couldn't die. I thought you guys would live forever."

"We aren't made of steel." Tyler replied.

"He's going to be alright right?" Kegan asked as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I don't know." Reid whispered. He pressed harder on the gas.

"Reid, he cant die." She sobbed. Tyler turned around and grabbed her hand.

"He's going to be ok alright. Nothing is going to happen to him. He's strong. He wont give up." Tyler responded. She gave a soft smile to him before going back to Pogue.
