Alex groaned as the alarm went off. She went to hit the alarm, but instead she hit something hard, yet soft. This thing also groaned, "Ria…"

Alex turned to Caleb, "I cannot believe I feel asleep here. Ugh.. I need to get back to school and change for class."

Caleb smirked and handed her some of her school clothes. "I took the liberty of grabbing these when you were in the bathroom last night… just in case."

Alex rolled her eyes and walked into the bathroom. As she was getting dressed, she heard Caleb's mother walk in, "I cannot believe you brought her into this. And better yet she is an Abbott. Oh… if I was tell your father—"

"Tell Dad what? That I am dating someone who understands what I am?" Caleb looked at his mother.

"The Abbotts have been in Ipswich as long as the Sons have been here. There are tales in that God-forsaken book you and your father hold dear!"

"That's enough Mother!" Alex could hear Caleb walking around the room, "Please mom, let me deal with it."

Alex heard Mrs. Danvers leave the room. She walked out of the bathroom and looked at Caleb, "What stories?" Caleb stared out the window. "Caleb Danvers! What stories? What is so horrible about the Abbotts?"

Caleb turned to her and placed his hands on her shoulders, "It's a long story and I am not so certain I know the whole thing. After class today, we'll talk about it." He took her hand and led her to the car. Alex was surprised she made it through the morning. She brought her laptop with her to the main building so she didn't have to go to her room, and risk being alone with Chase possibly again. As she walked into her next class, and took her seat, she noticed Chase staring up at her and smiling. What the hell was he so happy about? Class started and the seat between Alex and Pogue remained empty. Alex turned to face Pogue to give him and questioning look. He responded by knocking on his head. Alex made a face at Pogue. What the hell? Alex heard the door open, and turned to see Caleb walk into the classroom and hand the lecturer a note. Caleb made his way to see seat between Alex and Pogue and sat down. Alex was a little more settle now that Caleb was in his seat. After class, Caleb pulled Alex aside, "Hey… I need you to stay away from Chase. There is something different about him."

"Really? You think?" Alex looked at him.

Caleb shook his head, "Not something to joke about," He placed his heads on her cheeks lightly, "What are you doing tomorrow?"

Alex pursed her lips, "I don't know… Maybe hanging with someone who doesn't judge a person by their last name"

Caleb rolled his eyes, "Will you accompany me to the Fall Fest, and possibly help me celebrate my 18th birthday?"

Alex looked up at him and nodded, "Yea… as long as you explain the whole weird family situation."

"I will, I just have to run a few errands and then I will be at your dorm and I will explain everything."

Alex watched as Caleb made his way towards the main entrance to head out, "You better Danvers!"

As Caleb was going to run errands, Alex decided to do some digging of her own. She drove through town and to her parents' house. She climbed out of her car and entered through the front door. She was quickly greeted by a servant, who sent her to her parents' study. She entered the study to see not only her parents there, but also Aaron. "My dear Alexandria, we hear you have finally allowed yourself to interact with the Sons of Ipswich."

Alex nodded, feeling an uncertainty in the room. "What is going on? Someone want to tell me?"

Aaron started mumbling, but was silenced by his father hitting him on the back on his head, "That's enough Aaron. Can you leave us?"

"What? You mean I can't be here?" Aaron glared at his father.

"Back to Spencer now!"

Alex watched as Aaron left the room. She followed her father's silent direction to sit down. Her mother sat next to her and placed a book on her lap, "There are many tales that run through generations of our family. They go as far back as before the Salem Witch Trials. Do you know why the Abbotts relocated during this period?"

Alex shook her head, "I always thought that we followed the people we were close to."

Mr. Abbott decided to chip in, "We hold the power… the power that can destroy the Covenant—the Sons of Ipswich. We were their checks and balances. It is said that the two lines cannot cross, or a child of untold will be born."

Alex was pale, "A child of untold what?"

"A child of untold. That is it. They never dared to cross the checks and balances. Aaron was to keep you away from the Sons, so that a relationship of this sorts would not happen."

Alex stood up, "We just started dating! How dare you decide that I am going to marry him! A child of untold… maybe this is the child to end the stupid pitiness of our family! I am leaving." Alex stormed out of the house and was headed back to Spencer. She grabbed her phone and called Caleb. He wasn't answering, so she left him a message. Alex burst into her room and threw her book bag on her bed. She heard a knock on the door and opened it to see Caleb, "Hey…"

Caleb walked in and looked at her, sitting down on her bed, "Kate is in the hospital, and we can't find Pogue."

Alex sat next to him confused, "I just saw Kate a couple hours ago. She was—"

KNOCK KNOCK Alex walked over to the door and answered it to see Caleb. She was confused. She heard Caleb trying to tell her something. Next thing Alex knew was that she was laying on her bed, with Caleb brushing her hair off her face.
