So this is probably one of my longer chapters.
Reid- Still don't own us
Shut it Garwin
Tyler slammed the door to the house. Glenn looked over at his son.
"You and Tori get into a fight?" He asked. Tyler shook his head. They had agreed to keep this between the Sons and not get the Fathers involved. "Then what's wrong?"
"What do you know about John Putnam?" Tyler asked.
"He was banished from the Covenant… killed… but fathered a son. That's all I know." Glenn stated. "Isn't the Fall Fest tonight?"
"Yeah… we're meeting at Caleb's in ten but I needed to ask you. And grab a different shirt." Tyler said.
"Whatever you guys are hiding from us will end up okay, Ty." His father said.
"I hope so Dad." Tyler said…
Charlotte slammed the door shut. Collin was playing in the floor with Caleb kneeling over him.
"What you think you'll blink and Chase'll have kidnapped him?" She mocked.
"Laugh all you want but it's a possibility." Caleb said. Charlotte shrugged.
"Reid set up some sort of protection spell around your house. Collin's room in particular. He and Evelyn should be okay." She said, lowering Caleb's head towards her own.
"What about you?" He asked.
"He left that one up to you." She replied, kissing the birthday boy. Tyler knocked on Collin's door.
"Showtime guys." He said. "You haven't seen Tori have you?"
"She was changing. She's probably in the old playroom." Charlotte answered. Tyler nodded and walked off. Caleb tucked Charlotte's blonde hair behind her ear and kissed her again. His fingers touched the necklace he had given her when she found out she was pregnant. Victoria knocked on the door this time.
"Hate to interrupt but we will be late if we don't move." She said, giggling slightly. Caleb shook his head.
"Guess we better get moving. Next thing you know Reid'll be up here." He laughed. Charlotte shrugged. She scooped up Collin. Caleb kissed her neck as she stood back up. She rolled her eyes.
"Promise me you'll stay with the others?" Caleb asked.
"Only if you promise me I'll wake up with you tomorrow." Charlotte returned.
"Promise." Caleb laughed. Collin was falling asleep in his mother's arms. Caleb watched them walk downstairs. Somehow those two would be safe. He wasn't sure how but they would be. Reid looked at the trio as they descended down the stairs. Charlotte looked happy. That's all that mattered to him at the moment. Too much was going on.
"You can't do this alone." Evelyn Danvers said as soon as her son got downstairs. "We have to go to the others."
"No He'll kill us all… including you." Caleb swore looking down at her. Charlotte clutched Collin closer to her.
"Then we'll go to your father…" Evelyn said.
"I know what you're thinking Mother and I won't allow it."
"But he loves you." Evelyn promised her son.
"Then he'll die with that secret." Caleb told his mother. He turned to Tyler and Reid. Victoria was clinging to Tyler with all she had.
"I want you to take Charlotte to the dance." He told them…
Chase watched as the group left for the dance. He laughed. They had something planned. So did he. He took a step towards the baby's room. He jerked back.
"Protection spell…" He laughed. He waved his hand. The spell waivered. He went through the window. Collin Danvers was asleep. "Daddy's looks, little Collin? Too bad you'll never know him." Chase touched the boy's head. "That'll keep Uncle Reid and Auntie Tori busy for a while." With that Chase Collins disappeared into the darkness…
Charlotte felt something wrong. The boys were talking to Caleb and Victoria had turned away for a minute. She felt woozy and everything collapsed…
Caleb swerved as something slammed his windshield. Chase appeared on the car.
"What's your plan Golden Boy?" He asked…
Victoria collapsed into Tyler's arms. Something was screaming in her head. Reid's phone went off.
"Evelyn?" He asked.
"Collin's sick. Caleb and Charlotte aren't answering. Something's wrong Reid." Evelyn said. Reid and the other two ran. They arrived back at the Danvers's mansion. Victoria was up the stairs. Collin was burning up. He was deathly pale. Reid paced down stairs as Evelyn took off. Reid didn't ask. He was going to lose them. His sister. His nephew. One of his best friends. He couldn't take it. Not after Kai's death. What would happen then? His mom left him after Kai drowned. His dad would leave him next no doubt. Tyler scrambled up the stairs. He watched as Victoria held a cold pack on Collin's neck. They couldn't do anything. Just watch the baby suffer. Victoria looked up at Tyler, pleading. He couldn't do anything. She knew that. He just wished. Collin's face suddenly regained its color. Reid appeared in the door way. Phone in hand.
"It's over." He said, close to tears. "They got away."
"Collin's okay, too." Victoria said. Reid reached for his nephew. He held him close. Tyler gave his best friend a one armed hug.
"William is dead. Gave his powers for Caleb." Reid whispered to him. Tyler stumbled backwards into a chair…
Charlotte grabbed her son as soon as Victoria walked through the door. Caleb was sitting in a chair. He was worn out. Evelyn was comforting her son, tearing up herself. Collin latched onto his mother knowing himself something was wrong.
"Has anybody checked on Pogue?" Caleb asked.
"Hayley said he woke up. They might let him go home tomorrow." Victoria said. Caleb nodded. Charlotte took a step away from him. She was crying herself. Joseph Garwin, Glenn Simms and Wayne Parry walked in. Joseph held his daughter in his arms. Victoria took the opportunity to walk out. This was between the Covenant. She wasn't part of that. She pulled out her phone and sat on the steps. She put the phone to her ear as she dialed Dean's number.
"Well, well, well, my baby sister finally calls." Dean laughed into the phone.
"Don't mock me, Dean. You know that black magic you guys were worried about here? It's over. The witch is dead." Victoria said.
"Something else is wrong. I can hear it in your voice." Dean concluded.
"I was thinking about what Daddy did for you. It's how Caleb finished this other guy." Victoria said. "Daddy wouldn't do that for me. And even if he would've I wouldn't have let him."
"You think I wouldn't have tried to stop Dad if I could've. And yeah he would've done the same for you. All of us would. Josh included." Dean told his sister.
"I wouldn't let any of you. When we die we should stay that way." Victoria said. "Even you say so."
"Dad couldn't lose us. He wasn't gonna let anything happen to us. If he didn't think I had you and Sammy taken care of, he…" Dean tried to say. He would tell her anything to keep her calm even if he didn't know if it was the truth which he was positive it was.
"Daddy didn't know that. Maybe I wanted him. I needed him." Victoria swore.
"What did Dad tell you before he came to me?" Dean asked her.
"He wanted me to finish high school, go to college, get married, and have a family." Victoria said. "And…"
"And?" Dean asked.
"Look out for my brothers. They'd need me one day." Victoria said.
"We're family, Sissy. You're a Winchester. You're tough." Dean promised her. Victoria knew he was telling her the truth.
"Love you Dean." She told her brother.
"Love you too, Sis. We'll be there soon. Sammy says hi by the way." Dean stated. The siblings hung up. Victoria heard the door open and shut. Tyler sat down beside her. He was just staring at the ground. Victoria wrapped her arms around him.
"Reid didn't want to go in Collin's room for a reason." Tyler muttered. Victoria looked up at him.
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"The reason it was just you and me in Collin's room. If Reid was in there I could have tried to get Collin's fever to break. Reid and Charlotte's little brother drowned four years ago in the pool. Kai was almost five. A month away from five years. Meredith was taking a shower. Reid and Charlotte had just turned thirteen. Reid could've used. It wouldn't have done any good. If both of us were able to we would've been able to save him. I wasn't thirteen I still had about four months. Kai decided he wanted to go swimming. He wasn't supposed to unless Reid or Charlotte were with him. The kid asked Reid but Reid and I were playing videogames and Reid told him to wait until Meredith was out of the shower. Kai didn't listen. He snuck down to the pool and jumped in. Next thing Reid and I know, Kai's screaming. He get down to the pool and he's struggling. Reid dove in and got him while I ran to Meredith. Meredith called 911. Kai died in the hospital less than three hours later. Reid swims in honor of Kai but he hasn't been able to go see a dying person since and when Evelyn called saying Collin was sick and Reid took one look at him and all he saw was Kai's face after he pulled him out of the pool. Meredith and Joseph got divorced a year later. Meredith always has and seemingly always will blame Reid for Kai drowning. Reid's got a fear of who will leave next if Charlotte or Collin die. Joseph promised his son nobody would leave him but Reid's scared. He stayed scared. If only Reid and I both had powers when Kai died, Kai would still be here. He'd be alive. But Collin wouldn't be here. Meredith had made sure her daughter grew up right once she left Charlotte surrendered to Caleb." Tyler said. Victoria was still confused.
"What's that got to do with anything?" She asked.
"You tell me." Tyler said.
"If Reid had walked away from that videogame, Kai would be alive. Just like when William Danvers stopped being selfish, he saved his son." Victoria said. Tyler laughed.
"And like if your Dad hadn't have gave himself for Dean, you'd have one less big brother to turn to. Which might be good for me but bad for you." He said.
"How Mister Simms would that be good for you?" Victoria asked.
"One less older brother to track me down when he finds out I'm sleeping with his baby sister." Tyler said, leaning down and kissing her. Victoria giggled.
"Shouldn't you be in there with the others?" She asked.
"They're discussing funeral things. I didn't want to leave you by yourself." Tyler told her. Victoria shook her head. Tyler kissed her head. "That and I can't watch Golden Boy crying." He admitted.
"Knew it was something else." Victoria stated. Tyler shrugged.
"Everything's going to get crazy." He whispered. "When are your brothers heading out this way?"
"Soon was all I got." She said.
"Soon? Man I'm so freaking screwed." Tyler joked.
"How are you still calm? Everybody else is crying and stuff but you're just so calm." Victoria pointed out.
"I'm not. I just… I'm looking on the bright side. Caleb's alive. Saved us all. William saved his son. Any of the father's would do the same. At the same time though, I wanna know how Chase got through Reid's protection spell. It was a strong one. I tried to get through it and it knocked me on the ground." Tyler said.
"He used. There's no other way." Victoria swore.
"I used. I knew the spell to get past it though. Reid didn't use anything that would be known." Tyler stated. He stomped his foot on the porch. "Chase must've been watching us." Victoria leaned on his chest.
"He probably was." She admitted. Tyler stood up knocking Victoria off him. She landed on her palms.
"Come on. I wanna try something." He said, dragging her to the Hummer.
"What are you doing?" She asked, jerking her arm free.
"Figuring out how Chase got into Collin's room." Tyler swore. They got back to the Danvers Mansion. Tyler's eyes flamed unlocking the door. "You go up to Collin's room. I'll get the spell if I get into Collin's room we'll know what happened. If I get knocked onto my ass…"
"We'll try again." Victoria finished.
"Exactly." Tyler said. It took them an hour to figure it out.
"So he had to have been watching." Victoria stated. Tyler nodded looking at Collin's dream catcher that was lying on the ground.
"You guys charmed the dream catcher? Isn't that kinda obvious?" Victoria asked. Tyler shrugged.
"I guess so. But it was the best option." He said. "Both of the houses have the same dream catcher. All the families have one. It helps to protect the sons. But when a stronger spell is cast on them… they protect the whole place."
"Will we have one?" Victoria asked. Tyler smiled down at her.
"Probably." He stated. They drove in silence back to the Colony house. Reid was standing on the porch.
"Where the hell did you two disappear to? Dad and Uncle Glenn have been freaking out." He yelled at them.
"Figuring out how the hell Chase got to Collin. Guess what we found lying on the ground by the window." Tyler said, swinging the dream catcher. Reid snatched it from Tyler and looked at it.
"Asshole." He growled…
Reid- He is a total asshole I'm glad he's...
Pogue take care of that
Pogue- Reid hush it
Tyler- Review... her brothers are in the next chapter all three I might get hurt if nobody reviews...
There goes the surprise! Reviews are lovely.
