Chapter Two: Falling and Storms

I nearly jumped out of the car when we finally arrived. Being squished between my brother and the recently single Parry does not make for a fun car ride let me tell you. The whole way they kept trying to have a silent conversation over my head without me knowing which meant they were talking about me. Can you say annoying? On top of that I was sure my left boob was going to be bruised because Parry kept 'accidentally' elbowing it while attempting to talk to Caleb. Better be one hell of a party.

I walked over to the cliff and stood next to Reid. I grabbed his arm just in case and carefully looked over the edge. There was nothing to be seen but darkness and fog though.

"Shall we drop in?" Reid asked when the others had finally joined us.

"No, no more Using," Caleb replied.

"Oh, come on. Live a little, Golden Boy," Reid tried changing his mind. I could tell by the look on Caleb's face that it had worked.

"There could be rocks down there," I pointed out as I peered over the edge again.

"Scared, Minx?" Reid teased.

"We won't let anything happen to you, Luxie," Caleb assured me.

"He's right, Lux," Ty backed him up.

"I'll go with her," Parry blurted out of nowhere.

"What?" the rest of us asked at the same time.

"I'll jump with her, she'll be safe with me," Parry explained sending me into shock. He would do that for me?

"That good for you?" Caleb asked looking at me. I nodded not trusting myself to speak.

I watched nervously as first Reid, then Ty and finally Caleb all went over the edge.

"It's alright, Luxie. We're all fine and you will be too," my brother shouted up at me.

"Besides Baby Boy's broken legs!" Reid yelled.

I could hear Caleb smack him on the back of the head from all the way up on the cliff.

"Come on, Dani Girl," Parry said as he tugged me by the arm closer to him. I tilted my head to the side and looked at him funny.

"Where did that come from?" I asked.

"Danvers, Dani Girl, it just seemed to fit," he explained. I smiled up at him in response.

"I like it," I mumbled.

He wrapped his muscular arms around my shoulders and pulled me tight against his body. Evelyn had told me all of the boys were swimmers but holy crow. The boy felt like he was carved out of marble. I put my arms around his waist, placed my palms on his shoulder blades and pressed my cheek against his chest.

"Just hold on tight," he instructed.

"No worries there," I muttered into his shirt. Gah he smelled good!

"If you get scared feel free to scratch the hell outta my back, it's a major turn on," he informed me.

"Whatever you say, Reid," I shot back and could feel his chest rumble with laughter which sent a shiver down my spine.

He kissed the top of my head and then we were falling. I wasn't scared one bit though, not with him there. I felt his hold on me tighten like he was the one scared. Was it possible that he was afraid I would get hurt? Now way. Why would he care? We had just met a few hours ago and yet there was something there. I wasn't sure what exactly but there was something.

His feet hit the ground first, absorbing all of the impact and then he gently lowered me to mine. I slowly released my hold on him and stepped back. He placed his hands on my shoulders and stooped down to look into my eyes.

"Well?" he asked.

"Even if I'm not scared I think I'd much prefer going that way next time too," I answered while looking right back into his eyes.

His mouth dropped open a bit as he sucked in a breath. I licked my lips and leaned toward him, nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. His eyes slid closed and my heart

pounded in my chest.

"'Bout damn time you two made it down," Reid hollered.

Parry and I jumped three feet away from each other. I would have laughed it it was somebody else besides myself.

"You try making the jump while holding onto extra weight," Parry shot back.

"You saying I'm fat?" I asked as my eye twitched.

"No! I mean you've got some really nice curves going on," Parry defended.

"So, I'm curvy? Curvy is just a nice word for fat!" I hissed.

"Run, Pogo. Run like hell, man," Reid recommended while shaking his head and laughing.

Parry took off and I was right on his heels. About two seconds into chasing him I decided I seriously needed to start working out.

"What the hell?" Caleb yelled as we ran past him and Ty.

"Ask Reid!" I shouted over my shoulder.

Then I saw my chance. Parry had a case of heavy traffic. He had paused to maneuver around people. I sprinted as hard as my legs would allow me to and tackled him straight to the ground. I landed on his stomach with my legs on either side of him and my hands on his chest. I had tackled him from behind though which meant he had spun around somehow while we were falling and cushioned the blow for me. That's twice in one night.

"You tryin' to kill me, woman?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Am I too fat for you?" I asked with false sweetness. Then I smirked down at him and started bouncing up and down on his stomach while poking him in the sides. He wriggled around for a bit, laughing until he snatched both of my wrists and yanked me down so that I could feel his breath on my cheek.

"Mercy. You, my lady, have the body of a goddess," he whispered.

"Nice to see you've moved on so fast, asshole," a female voice said from the right of us.

Parry gripped my waist and set me on my feet as he stood up. Talk about impressive. I glared at the chick who had to be Kate, Parry's ex. Lovely.

"What I do now is none of your business, Kate," Parry growled with a dangerous tone to his voice.

"Don't give me that shit, Pogue. Where did you pick the little whore up at anyway?" she asked.

"Excuse the hell outta moi. I must have heard you wrong," I challenged as I took a step closer to her.

"Oh, I think you heard me loud and clear, whore," Kate said with an evil smile. Then the little tramp slapped me so hard my head jerked to the side and I could taste blood in my mouth. Hell to the nah.

Next thing I knew I was being shoved out of the way and Parry was headed straight for Kate. I knew what the tension in his body meant but she didn't, it was a sure sign that he was about to Use. Well, I couldn't bloody well let that happen now could I? Even if the bitch did deserve it. I stepped right in front of him and placed my hands on his cheeks. His Power nudged mine, begging it to come out and play too but I fought it.

"Parry? Look at me, Parry. Pogue, babe look at me please. Look at me damn it, Pogue!" I begged, never taking y eyes off of his face. When his eyes finally met mine and I saw the green I adored so much I let out a sigh of relief.

He took my hands in his and turned me around, tucking me into his side with his arm around my waist. Then he whispered in my ear, "I like the way my name sounds when you say it."

In that moment Parry became Pogue to me.

"What the hell has gotten into you, Kate?" Reid demanded as he came and stood in front of me. He faced me and gently took my chin in his hand to check out the damage as Caleb and Ty took their spots on either side of us. I winced causing Pogue to pull me even closer to him.

"So, is she fucking all four of you or is it just blow jobs?" Kate asked. Chick had balls, I had to give her that.

Reid whipped around so fast I swear I nearly got whiplash.

"Her name is Lux Danvers! She's Caleb's fucking sister you psycho bitch! Pogue was just looking out for her since she doesn't know anybody!" Reid raged at her.

"Holy shit! OMG! I'm so so sorry! I had no idea!" Kate exclaimed.

"What do you say, Luxie? Can you forgive her?" Caleb asked looking at me.

"Only if she remembers that she owes me a slap that'll leave blood in her mouth," I replied with a smirk.

"Deal," Kate said.

"Don't let it ever happen again or you'll regret it" Ty threatened making us all look at him in shock.

"Whoa there, Baby Boy. Don't grow those balls too fast," Reid teased and slapped Ty on the back.

Just like that the mood completely shifted. The tension left the air and we were back to ourselves.

"Oh, Caleb! I want you to come meet my new room mate," Kate said as she drug my brother away.

"He's a dead man if she's anything like Kate. Sorry, Pogo but it's the damn truth," Reid said.

"Oh, I know," Pogue agreed. I elbowed him in the side since he still hadn't released me but he just winked down at me.

"Should me go save him?" Ty asked.

Pogue, Reid and I looked at each other and then replied in unison, "Nah."

"I'm gonna go get a beer," I told them while I wiggled myself away from Pogue. Boy sure did get protective fast.

"You want one of us to come with you?" Reid asked.

"I'll be fine. Relax. Have a good time," I answered. I patted Pogue on the shoulder to assure him that I would be alright and he winked at me yet again before I walked off. What was with him and the winking anyway?

When I finally found the cooler and grabbed myself a beer I could have chugged the whole thing down. I stood back and watched all the people around me while I took sips from the bottle. I could see Caleb talking to Kate and a pretty blond girl so I didn't feel too vulnerable. I wondered what their reaction would be to us if they all knew what we really were. Mass hysteria? Most likely.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing standing all by herself?" a guy asked as he approached me. Son of a biscuit eater, this just wasn't my night.

"Just grabbing a beer and I'm not here alone," I replied. Rule #1 when dealing with creepers: always make sure they know you aren't alone.

"Name's Aaron Abbot. So, if you aren't here alone who are you here with?" he asked.

"My brother and his friends," I answered.

"Your brother?" he prodded.

"Caleb Danvers," I said.

"So, are you the Daughter of Ipswich then?" I tensed at first but then relaxed when I realized he didn't know what it really meant.

"You could say that."

"And I bet your brother is very protective over you." He traced his finger along my jawline which made me want to go boil my face in hot water to make sure I didn't catch a disease.

"Extremely so I wouldn't touch me if I were you."

"What a shame."

"What is?"

"The fact that I can't stand Danvers and love to piss him off," Abbot said as he grabbed my hips and yanked me against him.

"Let me go, asshole," I warned and shoved against his chest. What was up with guys and grabbing me tonight?

"How about no? I wanna have some fun with you," he said with a laugh.

A fist came flying out of nowhere and connected with Abbot's jaw sending him straight to the ground.

"The lady said to let her go. Do you not understand English?" the guy I didn't know asked.

"You're gonna pay for that," Abbot spat as he shot back to his feet ready for a fight.

"Back off, Aaron," Caleb warned as he came up and moved me behind him.

"This isn't over yet," Abbot said as he pointed at the mystery guy and then walked off.

"I owe you one. Caleb Danvers," my brother said as he stuck his hand out.

"No problem. Chase Collins," the guy said as he gripped Caleb's hand. Men.

"This is my sister, Lux," Caleb introduced me and I moved out from behind him.

"A pleasure," Collins said as he took my hand and kissed it. For some reason I was getting really bad vibes from Chase Collins. I didn't know why but I planned on finding out.

"5-0!" somebody yelled and people started running around like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off.

"Go find the guys. I'll be right behind you," Caleb told me as he pushed me in the opposite direction he was going.

I darted around all the people for what felt like hours until I finally saw a head of blond hair.

"Reid!" I shouted over the noise attracting his attention. He reached me in no time.

"Shit, Minx I though I wouldn't find you. We gotta go. Now," he said and grabbed my hand.

He led me through the crowd not bumping into anyone once. I could tell he was Using to keep them out of our way but at that moment I couldn't bring myself to care. If Reid wanted to Use Reid was gonna Use and it wouldn't matter what myself, Caleb or anybody else said. Just look at my father.

When we reached the Hummer Reid picked me up by the waist and literally tossed me on Pogue's lap.

"Well, hello, stranger," I said as I moved beside him to the middle.

"Long time no see," he said as smiled that crooked smile. I was beginning to learn that that smile meant he was joking.

Two seconds later Caleb got in beside me.

"Move over," Reid ordered.

"But it's my car," Ty objected.

"Move the hell over, Baby Boy," Caleb commanded.

Reid climbed into the driver's seat after Ty had moved over.

"Just don't wreck it, my mom will kill me," Ty begged.

As we were entering the woods the car came to a sudden stop. I was about to smack Reid until I noticed the blond girl from earlier.

Caleb rolled his window down and asked, "Something wrong?"

"My car won't start," she replied.

"I can fix it," Reid called out to her.

"Reid," we all started but he was already out of the car.

"This can't possibly end well," I muttered.

Five minutes later Reid jumped back in and we were off.

"You Used to fix her car," Caleb accused.

"Don't start on me, Caleb. Just don't," Reid snapped.

"Just let it go for now, Caleb," Pogue said.

"Fine but I won't forget," my brother conceded.

"Um, guys we have bigger problems," I said.

"Like?" Reid asked.

"Oh, like the red and blue flashy lights that are behind us," I answered.

They all looked behind us and then Reid gunned it. I was so sure that the maniac was going to hit a tree I about had a panic attack. I shut my eyes as tight as I could and buried my face in Pogue's shoulder. He put his arm around me and ran his fingers through my hair trying to soothe me.

"It'll be alright, Dani Girl," he whispered in my ear. Hearing him call me that calmed me down for some reason that I couldn't explain if I tried.

Then our problems got even bigger. The cliff.

"Time for a little trick or treat," Reid said with a smirk not slowing down at all.

"Reid, no," Caleb tried to protest.

"Come on, Caleb. It's gonna take all of us," Pogue pushed.

I took my brother's hand in my own and gave it a squeeze then watched as his eyes turned black to match the rest of ours.

"Harry Potter can kiss my ass!" Reid shouted and over the cliff we went.

We landed behind the cop car laughing our asses off. I just knew that we had given the officers mini stroke but it was still funny as hell. Reid spun the car around and booked it like a bat outta hell.

We had all agreed just to go back to mine and Caleb's place. Pogue was stressing a bit over his bike but we kept telling him that it would be fine until morning.

When we finally got back to the house I was so tired Pogue had to carry me inside. We all collapsed in Caleb's room who was too exhausted to even care, his bed was huge anyway. I had my head on Pogue's stomach and my feet thrown over Reid's thighs, he had thrown a fit at first saying I would damage the family jewels. Ty was over on the couch and Caleb had ended up crashing on the floor, in his own room. I could tell Pogue was still awake because his fingers were still running through my hair.

"Nickel for your thoughts," I whispered.

"I was just thinking about what a crazy day it was," he whispered back but I could tell there was more.

I carefully removed my legs from Reid's thighs and crawled up in between him and Pogue. I laid on my side facing Pogue with my head propped up on my hand.

"There's more to it than that. Your forehead is all wrinkle up and you only do that when you're thinking hard on something," I pointed out as I reached forward and tried to smooth the lines away which got a small smile out of him.

"Are you glad you came here?" he asked.

I had to think about it for a minute before I could answer. Was I? In a way yes but in a way no.

"Yes and no," I replied. "It makes me said because I realize just how much I've missed out on. What I could have had all this time. I'm also very glad because of what I get to have now. I finally get to know my brother, Ty who's so sweet and loyal, Reid who tries to act like he doesn't care but is there when it counts, my parents and then there's you of course."

"What about me?" he questioned.

"There's just something about you that makes me want to be near you. It's like an invisible pull. I barely know you and yet I feel like I've always known you. It just feels right to be here like this with you," I answered and swept some hair out of the way that had fallen across his face.

He caught my hand in his and held it to his cheek then closed his eyes. I rubbed my thumb across his cheekbone not sure what was wrong but just knowing that I had to comfort him.

"I'm not a weak man but it scares me senseless to think about the chance of me losing you just when I've found you," he murmured into my palm. I was left breathless for a moment but quickly recovered.

"I'm not going anywhere, Pogue," I assured him.

"Something is coming, I can feel it" he said and opened his eyes to look at me.

"Nothing could take me away from my boys," I stated firmly.

I snuggled up next to him with my head on his chest so that I could hear his heartbeat and shut my eyes. A song popped into my head then as Pogue wrapped me up into his arms and stroked my hair. It was a song I had heard once about being in the arms of the angel. That's what Pogue was, my guardian angel. I looked around the room at all of the snoozing boys and realized I really did think of them as my boys and that really they were all my guardian angels in their own ways. Caleb offered me the family connection and protection I had never had before, Ty made me feel so much better about myself and could be fierce when he had to be, Pogue comforted me and calmed me in ways I'd never known and then there was Reid. I didn't think that I would get along with Reid at first but he had surprised me many times already. When he simply sat down and played with my hair, when he cupped my chin in his hand ever so gently, when he asked if I needed any of them to go with me, when he found me in the crowd and actually sounded genuinely worried that he wouldn't find me and lastly when he carefully massaged my feet before he fell asleep. Although I knew I had some feelings for Pogue I could feel it in my gut that the same pull I had for him I was also beginning to develop for Reid. I couldn't help myself as I reached around and carefully took Reid's hand in mine. I bit my bottom lip when I felt him squeeze mine gently and knew that he had heard everything.

If only we knew the full extent of the danger of the storm that was brewing just outside.

You didn't really think she would just go with Pogue right off the bat did you? Shame, shame. I'm not that predictable.

TheMsMorra: Thanks for reviewing. Who knows? I do love me some Reid...honestly I have no idea who dear Lux will end up with. Dani Girl or Minx? Hmm, tough call.

Reid: "I think you should give the lovely lady what she wants."

Tink: "Of course you do, she wants her to end up with you."

Reid: "Saying I'm arrogant?"

Tink: "Definitely but we love you for it."

Pop quiz hot shot! I'll have one of the boys of your choosing give a special shout out to you if you can name the connection.

"nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs."

How does that quote connect to this fanfic?
