A/N: Sorry, it has gotten weird all of a sudden. I have been in crazy moods lately, or really tired and just let my imagination flow.
Alex looked up at Caleb, "What is going on? How?" She sat up focusing on him and using the pointer finger to point to the door and back to the bed, "Why? Ugh?"
Caleb sighed, "Chase is the 5th Son of the Covenant. His real father filled him n on the important details," Alex shifted slightly, Caleb looked at her, "Let's go for a ride."
Caleb got up and helped Alex up and led her to his car. A soon as they were a distance from the school, Caleb continued, "From what Chase has let on, he is addicted and looking for a way to revenge his family." He sighed, "We all thought the Putnam line died in Salem. Just as the boys and I thought the Abbott story was myth, since Aaron never came after us in that way. I mean… I guess I have been attracted to you for awhile but you have always been beautiful and different from most girls."
Alex let Caleb vent. She was shocked to see him pull up to "…the colony house?"
Caleb nodded, got out and helped Alex out. He led her in and up the stairs. A man, who she assumed was Gorman, was startled by their presence. Caleb noticed this quickly and stopped him from reacting negatively. Caleb walked Alex to the side of a chair, "Ria, I would like you to meet James Danvers III, my father. Father this is Alexandria Abbott, my girlfriend."
"An Abbott…" James croaked. "Abbott… careful."
Alex felt uncomfortable all of sudden. Caleb bent down to his father's height in the chair, "Father, she is different then past Abbotts. She has never tried and didn't know about the power until she accidentally walked in on it—"
"Be careful…" Alex watched as James' head rolled to the side. Caleb took her hand again and led her back out to the car.
Alex sighed, "Caleb, maybe we shouldn't—"
"Shouldn't what?" He turned to Alex. "Don't start this Alexandria, Please don't." He reached over and took her hand, "Let's make it through all this—my ascension and Chase, then we can discuss the Abbott-Sons relationship. Please Ria?"
Alex nodded and Caleb pulled up to the dorms, "Go grab everything you need for tonight and the Fall Fest. You are not leaving my sight until I have to deal with Chase."
Alex led Caleb to her dorm. Caleb sat on her bed, while she gathered everything she needed. Caleb grabbed her overnight bag and her dress bag, and led her out of the room. As Alex was locking the door, a voice broke through the silence of the quiet hallway, "Danvers! Get away from my sister."
Alex and Caleb turned to see Aaron coming after them. Caleb sighed, "Aaron, listen to me. I need to take your sist—"
"You don't need to take her anywhere," Aaron reached out and grabbed Alex's arm, "Come on Alex!"
"Let her go Aaron. She's in danger. We can deal with this after—"
"After what? Your ascension? I think not," Aaron starting pulling Alex down the hall.
"Aaron. Aaron. AARON! STOP!" Alex was getting frustrated and she could see Caleb reaching after them. She knew Caleb wouldn't risk hurting her. She stopping trying to keep up with Aaron's footfalls, and when he turned around to yell, she punched him in the jaw. Aaron dropped her arm. Caleb and Alex took off to his car. Alex flopped in the passenger seat, "I'm sorry. Aaron never—"
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I should be sorry. I could have reacted sooner, but I didn't want to hurt you.
Alex nodded, and fell asleep in the passenger's seat on the Danver's mansion.
