PS Reid's a little OC in this one, but whatever.
Reid and Pogue started off in Kegan's car towards the school. They hadn't said a word to each other until Reid stopped the car in front of the school.
"You know you didn't do anything wrong, right?" Pogue asked looking at Reid
"Yeah sure." Reid spat getting out of the car. He slammed the door. "Just remember you see anything, call someone."
"Yeah I know." Pogue started off towards the school as Reid kicked a rock before walking towards the cliffs. He had his toboggan on over his ears, with his hoodie on as well. It was a cold night tonight. He walked slowly trying not to make too much noise to scare Kegan away. He smiled to himself as he began to remember the 'good' times he had with Kegan. The very first time they were together was right on this lawn. She was laying in the grass, staring up at the stars. He was walking past his window when he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He saw her laying there, looking gorgeous. He gave Tyler some lame excuse about going outside and took off running down the hall and out the door. He saw her laying there, smiling. He never meant to scare her. Her smile was beautiful. He continued to walk until he saw the clearing. He was near the cliffs. The wind had began to pick up, he wrapped his arms around his body. As he walked past a tree he saw a girl sitting on the edge of the cliffs with her legs hanging over. "I knew you would be up here." He replied walking up behind her. "Don't be scared. I just want to talk." He walked up beside her as she turned her head towards him. "Kyra?" She smiled at him.
"Reid Garwin." She replied biting her bottom lip with a smile beneath it.
"I thought you were someone else." Reid responded turning away with a disgusted look on his face.
"Garwin?" Aaron's voice sounded from the trees.
Reid turned towards Aaron voice rolling his eyes. He wasn't in the mood for…well anything for that matter especially anything from Aaron Abbot. "Look Aaron I don't want any trouble ok. I'm not in the mood right now. I thought Kyra was Kegan."
"Is there trouble in Paradise?"
" No." Reid was getting annoyed. "Sorry I interrupted anything." Reid walked away from the cliffs. "Where are you?" he asked himself. He started back towards the school. Just as he arrived at the car, Pogue was walking out of the school. "Anything?" Reid asked.
"Nope. Sarah and Kate said they haven't seen her either."
"Have you talked to Caleb or Tyler?"
"Nope."
"This is getting no where. We haven't found her. It's going to start raining soon and we have no clue where the hell she is."
"Reid, calm down."
"Calm down? You want me to calm down. We just lost Kegan, Pogue. We have no clue where she is. She is sick and she could do anything right now."
"I know that, but you freaking out isn't going to help at all. Now let's get in the car and we will look somewhere else."
"You can, I am going to walk."
"Reid."
"Pogue!" Reid put his hand in the air to stop him. "I need to take a walk."
"Fine." Pogue got into the drivers seat of the car and sped away leaving dust behind.
"Come on Kegan, just let me know where you are." He started walking again. This time he didn't have a destination, he just walked. He felt little tricklets of rain begin hitting his face. He groaned and pulled his hoodie over his face to keep the rain from hitting him. "This is just great." He spat. He quickened his steps. He was coming up on the cemetery when he heard a soft whimper. "Kegan." He whispered. He made his way to the entrance, but stopped. He got his cell phone out to call Caleb, but decided not to. As he was putting his cell away, it began to vibrate. He opened it up, it was Caleb. He rolled his eyes before answering.
"Hello?"
"Did you find her yet?"
"Yeah, I was getting ready to call you." He lied.
"Where is she?"
"The cemetery. I heard her crying while I was walking by."
"Is she ok?"
"I don't know, I just got here. I stopped to call you, before I went to see her."
"Reid, don't let her run or disappear."
"I can stop the running, but I don't know about the disappearing."
"Don't get her worked up. Just talk to her calmly."
"Yes sir." Reid replied sarcastically before hanging up the phone. He looked up after putting his cell phone away. Kegan was still kneeling down in front of a gravestone. Reid assumed it was her fathers. He stood there for a moment, thinking of what he was going to do. He nodded his head before pulling his hoodie close to him. He slowly walked over to his girlfriend. "Kegan, its Reid." He replied.
"I know who you are, I'm not stupid." She spat without looking up.
"Are you alright?"
"What do you think?"
"I think that you need to go back to your house and get out of the cold before you get really sick."
"I don't really care what you think anymore Reid." She turned around to him. Her eyes were piercing glaring at him. He looked away from her. "Why are you here Reid?"
"Believe it or not, I care about you. I was really worried when you disappeared."
She shook her head. "We aren't together anymore. You made that very clear."
"I was just trying to get you to tell us what was going on."
She turned her head back towards the tombstone and ran her finger over her father's name. "You know what sucks?"
"What?" he asked.
"That I thought he was dead to begin with and I was fine with that, then I find out that he was alive and I would get to see him. That was a lot to take in but I was ok with it, then I find out now that he is dead and this time I'll never see him again. All these emotions inside me right now aren't good."
"I know that and we are so sorry for lying to you in the first place…"
"You lied to me again though."
"We found out that your dad died when we were in the hospital, then you wouldn't even talk to any of us to be able to tell you. Caleb didn't know how to tell you, he knew it would hurt you too bad."
"Did you not think that lying to me again, would hurt even worse?" she began raising her voice.
"We made a mistake."
"You make a lot of those." She spat getting up to face him.
Reid shook his head. "I love you Kegan."
"Oh stop Reid. You don't have to pretend anymore ok. None of you have to pretend anymore."
"We aren't pretending Kegan." Reid replied softly. "I'm not pretending. I do love you."
"Why did this happen? We are seniors in high school, we aren't supposed to be like this towards each other. My father isn't supposed to die just yet, you guys aren't supposed to have 'powers'. This isn't normal and I don't like it at all. I want my life back. My normal life back where it was just me and no one else."
"You don't mean that."
"Don't I?"
"No." Reid firmly replied.
"Oh I think I do."
"You were lonely during those four years that you weren't here. You went to an all girl's school far far away from here."
"My life was perfectly fine until I came back."
Reid was getting no where. "Fine!" he yelled. "If you don't want to be here then leave! Get out!" he pointed to the door. "There's the gate, but you are one of us now Kegan just remember that. People aren't just going to accept you like you are anymore. So go, go back to your normal life. Let's see how long you last." He knew he was getting out of hand, but he had to some how get to her even if it meant losing her forever.
"I bet I can last longer than you." She spat. She was glaring at him.
"Really? I've had my 'powers' a lot longer than you…"
"And you still don't know how to control them. You let them take over you like they are some kind of drug that you just can't beat. You are telling me that I won't be able to make it out there, when you can't even make it here. I know you Reid, I know that every time we aren't around you 'use'. You go to these 'secret' places and just let loose knowing that each time its killing you, but you don't care. It makes you feel good that's all that matters."
"Shut up!" he yelled.
"Why?... Huh?... Because it's true? So yeah I'll go back to my normal life and you can go back to killing yourself. Then we should all be happy again. We don't ever have to see each other again and I can just forget about Ipswich all together, especially the Sons of Ipswich." She turned away from him and walked towards the gate leaving Reid speechless.
"Well at least she didn't disappear." He replied to himself turning around. Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler were standing there glaring at him. Kegan was behind him, attached to Pogue's hand.
"When I say don't let her run, I meant don't let her run Reid!" Caleb yelled.
"She didn't run, she walked." Reid retorted.
"Can we please take this somewhere else? Its raining and its cold and I am tired of being out here." Pogue replied still holding onto Kegan.
"Sure." Reid spat walking past them. Tyler's hummer, along with Kegan's BMW was parked just outside the cemetery gate. Reid swung open the door to the hummer and climbed in with Tyler behind him.
"I'll take Kegan's car." Pogue replied. Caleb nodded his head and looked over at his sister who was just staring at the ground. Pogue pulled her along with him and opened the passenger side door for her. She looked up at him and he motioned her to get in. He closed the door and looked over at Caleb before getting into the drivers seat and driving away. "So, you want to talk?" he asked.
"Not really." She whispered.
"Well I do."
"Pogue, I'm not in the mood for one of your talks right now."
"Did you know you could disappear?"
She looked up at him before responding. "I remember doing it back at the barn, but I thought I had just passed out or something and Tyler got the knots undone."
"Yeah I heard about that in the barn. Very surprising."
"I don't want it." She whispered looking out the window.
"Why not? You are one of us now." He smiled.
"I'll die." she replied in a whisper.
"Do what?"
She began drawing on the window with her finger. "Nothing." She finally replied. "I don't want to talk anymore."
Pogue sighed but didn't say a word. They arrived back at the Danvers Mansion and he opened the car door for her. She got out and slowly made her way to the front door where the others were waiting.
"Look you guys, I am just going to go back to the dorms." Reid turned to walk away. Kegan's eyes followed him as they began to tear up.
"Reid, just get inside. We have a lot to talk about." Pogue replied.
"I can tell when I'm not wanted." Reid looked up at Kegan.
"Will you stop acting like a child and get inside!" Caleb yelled.
Kegan rolled her eyes and opened the door to the house and walked in leaving the boys outside. "Mother?" she called out. There was no response. "Are you here?" She heard the door open behind her.
"She's not here. She left go see Reid's mother." Caleb replied.
Kegan nodded her head but didn't say a word. "I'm going to get something to eat." She replied walking towards the kitchen.
"Kegan, we need to talk."
"I don't care." She replied still walking.
"Stop." Caleb demanded. In front of her the door shut before she could get to it. She turned around and looked at Caleb. His eyes were black as night. "Get into the living room."
"Caleb I have nothing to say to you right now."
"I have a lot to say to you."
"You act like I did something wrong, I didn't. You did. So you can go into the living room and have your little talk by yourself." She moved to the stairs. "And do me a favor, stay out of my head." She stomped up the stairs and out of sight.
"Well that went well." Pogue replied sarcastically.
"Can I leave?" Reid asked pointing behind him to the door.
Caleb's eyes had turned back to his normal clue as he rolled them. "I am going to talk to her whether she likes it or not." He moved to the stairs.
"Caleb, just let it go. She doesn't care anymore." Reid replied.
"You seem like you don't either." Caleb responded.
"I don't know what to do to get through to her."
"That's why we need to talk to her." Caleb continued up the stairs. "You guys can leave I don't care."
Tyler looked back at Reid and motioned for him to come. Reid rolled his eyes but nodded his head. Pogue stood there for a moment but decided to go. This was going to be a long night.
Kegan slammed her door and threw herself on her bed. She was so mad. Mad at herself, mad at her brother, mad at her dad, and mad at Reid. How could he be so insensitive to every thing. She did though, want to go away. She wished she had never come back to this place. She had just closed her eyes when he door swung open hitting the wall. She groaned and opened her eyes. "Knock much?" she spat.
"No, I prefer sudden entry. It always catches people off guard." Caleb smirked
"That's real nice." She got up from the bed and sat on the edge. "What do you want?"
"To talk."
Kegan laughed and got up off the bed. "Do you ever listen to anyone? I don't want to talk Caleb."
"Obviously you don't listen either because I said I don't care."
"Alright you win. Ten minutes then you get the hell out and leave me alone." She told him sitting down again on her bed.
He nodded his head and let the others in before closing the door.
"What do you want to talk about?" she asked pulling her feet up on the bed.
"Cut the crap Kegan." Caleb responded grabbing her chair from her desk. "Our father didn't want you to know he was alive. He asked all of us not to mention it to you at all. I knew one day that you would remember us being witches and our powers, but I never knew that you would put two and two together and link him together in all of this. I am truly sorry that you had to find out this way."
"Why are you telling me stuff that I already know?"
"Just listen." He told her. "When we were at Putman barn with Chase, he was winning. He would have killed me. Our mother went to see father and she asked him to give me his power. She begged him and begged him, because Chase was too powerful. He would have killed me, you, everyone. When you saw me lifting in the air before Chase grabbed you, that's what happened. Father 'willed' me his power." Kegan turned away. "He gave up his life so me and you could live. He died later that night in his chair. Mother told us in the hospital, but we actually thought you weren't going to make it. Then you wouldn't even talk to us for us to tell you anything that was going on. Then everything with the medicine happened I just forgot."
"You forgot?" she asked nodding her head. "You forgot our father?"
"I was worried about you. You aren't doing too good as you can see. I didn't want to lose you too."
"Save the sorrow Caleb, its way beyond that."
"Kegan I'm be serious. I honestly thought we were going to lose you for good this time."
"You would have saved me."
"I wouldn't have if you didn't want me too."
She looked up at him and saw the sympathy in his eyes. "Why did you save me in the first place huh? Give me this 'power' that I cant control."
"Its connected with your emotions. You can control it, it will just take time."
"I don't want that time Caleb. I don't want to be like you guys. I was perfectly fine with the way I was."
"You would have gotten the power to disappear even if you were in New York. We are twins, even if you knew nothing about the covenant you would have the power. You were born with it, it just took longer for you to get it. The whole reading minds thing, yes I gave you, but I would rather be able to talk to you through your mind then to your grave ok."
"Cant you just take it back?"
"No."
"Why not?" she asked jumping off the bed. "I don't want it. I'm fine with the disappearing thing, but being able to read minds and talk to people through their minds is just crazy. I don't want it."
"I cant take it back."
"You cant or you wont?" she asked.
"Both. I cant take it back unless you give it to me and I wont ask you to do that."
"You don't have to ask me, I am willing to give it back to you. Its yours."
"Kegan just stop." Pogue replied.
"No!" she yelled. "I don't want this power and you said I can get rid of it and I want to. So take it back Caleb. What do I have to do? Hmm? Tell me?"
"Calm down." Caleb told her. "You have to will it to me, but you…."
"Ok then I will you my…"
Reid's hand was over her mouth in a second with everyone behind him, "Don't do it." He whispered her ear with his head touching hers "You'll die." She pulled away from him.
"What?" she asked as tears formed in her eyes.
"It'll kill you." Reid told her.
"That's how your father died." Tyler finally replied. "Chase wanted your brother to will his power to him, but it would have killed Caleb. I know we told you this before. Your father willed the rest of his power to your brother causing him to die. You see Kegan, no matter what we are cursed, but its ok. We have to live with it."
"So I am going to die?"
"No." all the boys said in unison.
"You said if you have the power, then you die." She began to panic. "I don't want that to happen."
"It's not going to happen to you. We won't let it." Pogue told her.
"You guys are going to die too." She replied softly.
"You act like you care." Reid responded with a smirk on his face.
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I do care."
"We are going to get through this ok." Caleb replied grabbing her shoulders. "Nothing is going to happen to any of us. No one will find out about the covenant and we aren't going to 'use' unless we have to." Caleb directed his eyes towards Reid.
"Alright." Reid threw his hands up in the air.
"I mean it Reid." Caleb told him.
"I know Caleb. Thanks for reminding me."
"You alright?" Pogue asked.
"I think I will be. A lot to take in. Not your average teenager girl has this much drama going on in her life." She smiled at him.
"I guess you're not average then." He replied
"I have you guys in my life, no one can be average with you guys."
"Tis a true statement." Tyler replied smiling.
"Aww you guys...Group hug!" Reid replied sarcastically. He wrapped his arms around Caleb's neck as Caleb himself tried to pull away, but Reid held on. Pogue laughed but joined in with Tyler behind them. Kegan smiled and wrapped her arms around Caleb's side and Pogue's side as they came into a little huddle.
"I love you guys!" Tyler faked as he wiped his face from his fake tears.
"Get out of here." Kegan smiled pushing him away.
"Well its getting late. Sleep good." Caleb kissed the top of her head.
"Goodnight you guys." She replied smiling.
"Goodnight sweetheart." Tyler gave a little boy smile before hugging her.
"Bye girl. See you in the morning." Pogue held out his hand for a moment to let her grab it. All the boys left leaving Kegan alone in her room. She looked around and smiled to herself. She threw her legs over the bed and got up to go to her bathroom. Suddenly the door came flying open with Reid storming in with a look of anger on his face. Before Kegan could open her mouth, Reid grabbed her face and began kissing her. Kegan's first reaction was to push away, but he held on tighter to her waist so she couldn't. She could feel a smile forming on his face as he continued to kiss her. She finally gave in and wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. Moments later they pulled away from each other. Reid was smiling at her still holding onto her waist.
"Say something." Kegan whispered.
He shook his head with a smile on his face and kissed her again. He laid back on the bed and deepened the kiss. She reached up and grabbed his toboggan and threw it on the floor. Then she removed his scarf and threw it beside the bed. He leaned up a little so she could remove his jacket. She threw it across the room with a smile on her face. She missed his touch. She missed everything about him. They hadn't really spent any alone time together in a long time. She missed him. She leaned up for him to get the covers to pull over them. He looked at her before smiling and kissing the top of her nose.
