Chapter 13
Author: She here's the chapter that I have been promising you!! Everything falls into place and you finally get to see Kegan just go completely crazy!! DRAMA and lots of it!! Hope you guys like it!!
Kegan shot up in her bed and began looking around the room. Her head was spinning and sweat was pouring down her face. She threw the covers back and quickly ran to her bathroom. She looked in the mirror. She looked like crap. She ran the cold water before bending down and splashing water down. "What is wrong with you?" she asked. She ran her hands over her face and let out a deep breath. She slowly walked back into her room and laid back down in the bed. It was still night time outside. She looked over at her clock, it read six thirty in the morning. Kegan groaned and rolled over on her side. She opened her eyes and saw the picture of her and the guys laughing. She smiled and reached for it. As she did, she knocked the bottle of pills off the top causing pills to go all over the floor. She quickly got up and gathered them together. She looked down in her hand at the number of pills in her hand. She began to shake. She quickly put them back in the bottle and slammed in on the stand before backing away. She brought her knees to her chest and began rocking back and forth. Tears came to her eyes as she just continued to stare. "Help me." She sobbed.
Caleb woke up the next morning to someone crying, but as soon as he opened his eyes it stopped. He looked over at his clock and saw that it was six thirty in the morning. He looked up at the ceiling, trying to process everything in his mind. "Kegan." He whispered. He got up from his bed and walked to his sister's room. Without opening the door, he leaned his head against it to listen. Nothing. He must have been dreaming. He slowly walked back to his room and laid back in the bed. He turned his head over and saw a picture on his desk of him and Kegan when they were little. They were smiling and just happy. He missed those days. Ever since Kegan found out about the covenant, she was distant. She never really wanted to talk about it with them. Then everything that happened with Chase. Caleb knew it was hard for her. Chase was one of her best friends, and then he turned evil. He's the one who almost killed her. She was slipping away minute by minute and they don't even realize it. Caleb tossed over to his other side and closed his eyes.
"Help me." He heard a soft whimper. He quickly opened his eyes. No one was in the room. He laid there for a moment before getting up again. He walked to Kegan's room and slowly opened the door. He saw that she was fast asleep in the floor. He leaned down to pick her up. He saw that there was a pill on the ground. He looked at it for a moment before lifting Kegan up and putting her into bed. He leaned down and kissed her on the head before walking out.
The next few mornings Kegan woke up with the same headache she had went to sleep with. She groaned as she lifted herself out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. She turned the water on and let it run for a little bit before removing her clothes. She climbed it. It was hot, scolding hot. She didn't care. She let the hot water just run over her body. It began to turn her skin blood red, but she stayed in place. She washed her hair and body before getting out. She grabbed the towel from the rack and wrapped it around her body. She walked out of the bathroom into her room only to see Reid sitting on her bed. "Shit!" she yelled backing into the door. "You just about gave me a heart attack." She held her hand to her chest.
"Sorry, I knocked but no one answered, then I heard the shower running." He responded.
"Its ok." She walked over to the draw and pulled out some clothes. "Is something wrong?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to do something tonight?"
"Um….what do you have in mind?"
"I don't know. Whatever you would like to do."
"I don't really feel good."
"Is that going to be your excuse for everything now?"
Kegan's head shot towards him. "Excuse me?" she snapped.
"Every time we want you to go out with us, you are always sick or you don't feel good."
"I just got out of the hospital Reid…."
"Don't start with that crap. Caleb healed you. You aren't in any pain. He took it from you. You are fine, so why do you keep lying?"
"How the hell would you know what kind of pain I am in?"
"Just tell me what's going on Kegan. Why won't you talk to me?"
"Because there isn't anything to talk about Reid."
"There's not? You took off running into the house last night crying. There has to be something wrong with you."
"There isn't anything wrong. I just got out of hospital after almost being killed, it's kind of hard to process right now."
"Is it Chase?" Reid asked.
"No." she whispered.
"Are you scared?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"NOTHING!" she screamed. "Can you not get that through your head? I'm fine."
"You are killing yourself Kegan, can you not see that?"
"I'm not doing anything."
"Where are the pills?"
"What pills?" she asked walking to her bed.
"The pills I saw last night on your night stand."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Yes you do."
Caleb was walking through his house when he saw his mother in the living room. "Mother?" he asked walking in.
"Oh hey sweetheart." She laid a picture frame down. "I was just looking at pictures of you and Kegan when you two were little."
Caleb smiled. "Is something wrong?"
"I was just thinking." She wiped her face from the tears that escaped out of her eyes.
"About Kegan?" he asked sitting down in the chair next to her.
"Yeah. I'm just worried about her." Evelyn smiled. "She's not seeming to be getting any better."
"It'll just take some time I guess."
"Have you seen her medicine? I've seem to have misplaced it somewhere."
Caleb looked up at his mother and waited a moment before answering. "No I haven't."
"Well I guess its ok. Kegan hasn't been complaining about being in any pain."
"Mother, there's something I need to tell you." Caleb began.
"What is it?"
"When Kegan was in the hospital she died. Reid was so mad at me and I was just so mad at Chase that I knew I couldn't lose her. So I went into her room and saved her."
"How?"
"I healed her with my power."
Evelyn put her hand to her mouth. "Mother, she was dying and I just couldn't see her like that anymore. I had to do something."
"Do you know what you have done?"
"Yes. I'm ok with it."
"Does Kegan know?"
"Yeah. She's kind of mad, but she'll get over it. She just doesn't understand why."
"Caleb, you can't keep doing this."
"I know that, I don't plan on doing it anymore, but I just couldn't let her die. We just lost our father. I couldn't lose my sister too."
Evelyn moved forward and wrapped her arms around her son. "I know sweetheart. It's ok."
"What did I do Kegan? Just tell me what I did to make you be this way." Reid begged.
"Nothing." She had tears streaming down her face.
"Do you want to hit me? Hit me. If it will make you feel better do whatever you want to me, just let me know that you are still there."
"I'm here." She whispered.
"No your not. You are letting go piece by piece."
"I'm fine."
"You're not fine. You are killing yourself."
"Will you not get it through your head that I am not killing myself."
"Then give me the pills."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't know where they are." She lied. Reid nodded his head and moved over to the side of the bed. "What are you doing?"
"If you aren't going to give them to me then I will find them myself."
"No." she grabbed his arm, but he pulled away and moved her aside. "Reid stop." She begged.
"Where are they?" he looked up at her.
"I don't know." She cried.
"Bullshit!" he yelled causing her to jump.
"Please just leave." She whispered as tears streamed down her face. Suddenly the door opened and an angry Caleb walked in. He looked from a naked Kegan to Reid who was standing next to her.
"What the hell is going on in here?" he asked.
"Reid was just leaving." Kegan replied wiping her face.
"No, no one is going anywhere." Caleb demanded.
"Caleb, he needs to leave." She whispered.
"We need to get something straight right now." Caleb replied pointing his finger.
"Caleb we weren't doing anything." Kegan assumed.
"Kegan, get dressed. Then we are having a talk." Caleb replied. "Come on Reid." Reid nodded his head and walked out the room. As the door closed Kegan began running around the room panting. She didn't know what to do. They knew. She opened her drawer and pulled out the bottle of pills. She held them in her hand as she began to shake. She opened them up and poured one into her hand. Then she poured two more. She quickly tossed her head back and threw them in her mouth. She dried swallowed them, before going into the bathroom. She leaned down and put them behind the toilet before grabbing her clothes. She put them on. As she was zipping up her pants the door opened again. "Knocking would have been great." She spat.
"You had enough time to get ready." Caleb replied coldly.
"Fine." She replied sitting down on the bed. "What is that you want?"
"To talk." Caleb responded moving over to the bed.
"What about?"
"I was talking to mother earlier this morning and she was telling me that she couldn't find your medicine anywhere."
Kegan shrugged her shoulders. "Why would I know where they were?"
"I don't know. You tell me."
Kegan shrugged again. "I don't know."
"You know what those pills could do to you if you took too many?"
"Yeah."
"Then where are they Kegan?"
"I don't know."
"You know Kegan, you suck at lying. So you can just stop." Caleb snapped.
"I'm not lying."
Caleb nodded his head. "Tell me where they are Kegan."
"I don't know."
"I will tear this room apart if you don't tell me."
"Go ahead. Be my guest." She sat back in the bed with a smirk on her face.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because you keep assuming that I have the medicine. If you want to tear my room to shreds looking then go ahead, it'll be you that will be cleaning it up when you find nothing."
"Reid said he found a medicine bottle on your night stand last night. Then this morning when I came here to put you into bed, I saw a pill laying on the floor. Now do you want to tell me where the pills are?"
"It was aspirin." She lied.
Caleb nodded his head. "Really?"
"Yeah, I've been having headaches. So I took some aspirin. Shoot me."
"I'm going to do more than shoot you if you don't tell me what is going on."
"Like I said Caleb, nothing."
"That's bull crap."
"Ok." Kegan nodded her head still smiling.
"Whatever ,if you want to kill yourself. Go ahead, this time I won't be there to save you." He got up from his spot and walked to the door. Reid watched as Caleb left before walking over to the bed where Kegan was.
"I'm sorry." He replied.
"It's ok."
"I was just looking out for you."
"I understand."
"Then I hope you understand this…" he started. "Its over."
"Do what?"
"Its over. I can't keep doing this Kegan. I'm done."
"Reid, what did I do?"
"Nothing." He replied turning around. He walked to the door and without turning back walked out. Kegan sat there for a moment as tears came to her eyes.
"What?" she replied to herself. She got up from the bed and began pacing again. This time she was breathing heavily in each step. "What did I do?" she asked running her hands through her hair. "No…no." she kept repeating as she paced back and forth. She stopped in mid step and ran over to her toilet in her bathroom. She reached behind and grabbed the pills. She brought them back into her room and began opening them. She found her shaking as she began to sob. She poured them all in her hand and stared at them. Suddenly the door busted open and in stormed Reid and Caleb. Caleb grabbed her arm causing her to drop the pills all over the floor. Reid grabbed her waist as she bent down to gather them, but Caleb beat her too it. He picked up each pill and stormed out of the room. "CALEB!" she screamed after him. Reid held onto her as she hit the ground trying to get away. Caleb walked into the kitchen and threw them down the drain and cut the disposal on, hoping they were all gone. He walked back into her room and slammed the door.
"What are you thinking?" he yelled.
"I needed them." She sobbed.
"For what?" he asked.
"Pain."
"You don't have any pain Kegan. It's gone."
"No its not."
"Why?"
She continued to sob. "Why did you save me?" she asked.
Caleb just stared at her. He didn't know what to say. "Because I love you." He finally answered. She finally pulled away from Reid and shoved him away from her. "How many have you taken Kegan?" She didn't answer him. "How many?" he began raising his voice, but she still didn't answer.
"Kegan answer him." Reid told her. She just glared at both boys without answering.
'How many did you take?" Caleb asked in her mind. Kegan stood there for a moment not knowing what was happening. "How many? You are going to kill yourself." Kegan's eyes were huge staring at her brother.
"Stop." She told him in a whisper.
"You need to tell me so I can help you."
"I don't want your help."
"I love you."
"Stop!" she yelled.
"Don't put us through this again."
"STOP!" she screamed putting her hands over her ears.
"We need you."
"GET OUT!" she screamed again.
"Those pills are dangerous."
She began shaking her head as she held tighter with her hands over her ears. "LEAVE!" She felt her knees begin to buckle. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" she screamed. Caleb walked over to her and placed his arms around her body as she began to shake.
"I will keep saving you. You keep trying and ill keep saving you." He responded.
She began to sob as she tried to block him out. "GET OUT!" she screamed but Caleb held tighter to her body as she continued to scream. All of the sudden she disappeared. Out of his arms, out of her room, even out of her house. She still had her hands over her ears when she appeared somewhere else. She felt the cold breeze come across her. She looked up. No one was with her and she was out in the cold. She looked around. Where was she? In front of her was a tombstone.
'James L. Danvers III
Beloved Husband and Father.'
Kegan felt her stomach catch. She found herself not being able to breathe. This couldn't be happening. Her father couldn't be dead. She back away as she felt bile come to her throat. She leaned to the side and just threw up everything that was inside of her. After she was done she wiped her mouth and just stared the tombstone that was in front of her. She began to cry.She didn't know what to do. Her father was dead. She had never gotten to see him, and now he was gone. She rubbed her shaking hand over his name that was engraved so perfectly inside the stone. "Daddy." She whimpered. She put her hands to her face as she began to sob. "This cant be happening." She shook her head. She looked around her. It was getting dark. The wind was picking up, but no one was around.
Suddenly Kegan just disappeared from Caleb's arm. He looked down at the ground where Kegan was. He looked around the room, but she was no where. "What just happened?" he asked looking up at Reid.
"I don't know. She was just right there." Reid replied.
"Where did she go?"
"I don't know Caleb." Reid was getting annoyed.
"How did she do that?"
"Tyler said she did it before."
"You believed him?"
"Yeah, didn't you?"
"No, I thought they were just playing with us." Caleb got up from the ground. "Wow, my sister just disappeared." Caleb let out a little laugh of disbelief.
"Nice going jackass, you gave your sister powers too." Reid retorted. Caleb glared at him.
"I didn't mean to. I was just trying to help her."
"What do we do now genius?"
"We need to find out where she is."
"And how would you like to do that?"
"Reid, I am getting tired of your attitude." Caleb yelled. "My mistake sorry!"
Reid couldn't help but laugh.
"Lets just call Pogue and Tyler, they can help us look." Caleb looked up at Reid who was still smiling. Caleb rolled his eyes before walking away dialing Pogue's number. "They are on their way. Very confused, but they are on their way." Caleb shook his head still not being able to believe what happened.
"Where do you think she is?" Reid asked seriously.
"I don't know. Where ever she is, she is probably freaking out."
"We need to split up and look for you. Look all over town."
"I'll search the house. When Pogue and Tyler get here, we will get one to search the school and the other to search in town. It's getting dark so she will be scared."
"What about me?"
"You know her better, you know where she would go if she was upset."
"The cliffs?"
"Good, look there. But walk, I don't want her to run."
Reid nodded his head. "Ok, ill call you if I see anything."
"Same here."
