Chapter 4

Early the next morning, Ace was up and heading off to the gym. She needed to work out, it was her way to let it go out against the punch bag. She grabbed her duffle bag and left her room, where her roommate Sheila was fast asleep on a Saturday morning.

She got to the gym where she paid her month and headed off to the kickboxing area. She was wearing dark blue spandex that were up to her knees and a white t-shirt that read "Bring it on if you dare"

She draped the special bandage around her knuckles that she always used. Soon she was charging at the punch bag with all her strength. One right punch followed by a left one and ending it with a high kick; she was really sweating everything off; she hit the bag harder every time. In no time she felt all her muscles ache. But she kept at it.

"Well, take it easy Ace or you won't have any left to hit me"

Ace turned around and grinned, strands of wet hair over her face, she walked up to him and their eyes met.

"Come on Danvers"

Caleb put down his sports bag and draped similar bandages over his knuckles; she waited for him in a fighting position. She made the first move but was blocked by him. Soon people were watching them; they were giving a pretty hot show. Caleb was a bit careful to send any strong punches until Ace noticed this and punched him in the stomach. She snickered and that made Caleb wake up.

Ace was quick and agile, swerving every one of his hits until finally he lay flat on his back and she had her foot on his stomach singing victory.

"I kicked your ass"

"That was pure luck" grinned Caleb as he got up and both of them grabbed their things. Each went to take a shower and they met at the gym's entrance. She was wearing a pair of shorts and a blue t-shirt that had Hollister written across it, pair of blue all stars and her hair in a pony tail.

Caleb noticed how nicely toned her muscles in her legs were and how long and elegant they were. He shook his head. He was wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a dark green t-shirt and he was also wearing a pair of green all stars.

"Hey, you've got the same shoes as I have" said Ace "Copy Cat!"

Caleb let out a small laugh, "How about breakfast?"

"Sure" said Ace as she got into her car and put her bag at the back. Caleb drove to a small café. They sat down and ordered bagels and fruit juice.

"I have to admit you're really good"

"I've hurt your pride by the look" smiled Ace

"Nah, I'm more into swimming but I've always liked kickboxing"

"You are on the swim team or what?"

"Yeah, all of us are on the team really. Pogue's the man at swimming though"

"Really, yeah I suppose that was obvious, he's got the look" grinned Ace

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, just talking to myself"

Caleb looked at her with a confused look, she just shrugged.

Their food was brought and they ate greedily. But after a while, Ace was feeling a bit dizzy. She felt the burning sensation again and saw her tattoo glow.

"Are you ok?" asked Caleb as he saw her eyes widened. She shook her head and showed him her wrist. The cross was glowing and the letter R.

"You don't think this tattoo acts as a type of warning do you?"

"I don't think so, although I have no clue why the page was blank in the book, but I say we should go and check on Reid, just to be sure" she nodded and Caleb paid for the bill and they drove to the dorms where Reid was hopefully still fast asleep. They got to his room, Caleb knocked on the door. No answer, he hesitated and opened the door. Just as they stepped in, Reid woke up with his eyes wide open and sweating. He saw them.

"Shit Caleb, I just saw Chase Collins"

Ace looked down at her tattoo, it was still glowing. Reid got up and Caleb started to question him.

"How did this happen?"

"I don't know, he was coming straight at me, whispering some words and then I felt something pierce me, everything went black and I woke up and you two were here. By that way what are you doing here?"

"The letter R on Ace's tattoo started to glow, and we kind of thought you were in some sort of trouble"

'You know what I think, I think Chase is back and he is trying to get into your dreams. Remember that the book of symbols that the letters on the tattoo were different in every person, maybe they act as a type of warning. I don't really know"

Caleb sat on the bed; he had to find the page of that book where it explained more about the symbol on her wrist.

"Well you know what I think, if Chase is back you're stronger than him now and Pogue will be ascending soon, so I don't think there is too much to worry about"

"I don't know about that Reid, I think Chase is using more complex magic than just his powers. I think he is trying to get into your thoughts or dreams or something like that. You know more damage can be done that way than just coming up to you and trying to kill you"

"We have got to find that page of the book where it explains this" said Caleb, Ace just nodded and his cell phone rang.

"Go Caleb, I'll get my things from your car later, I need to do some stuff in my room. See both of you later, and Reid tell us if you have any more dreams like this"

She kissed Reid and Caleb good bye on the cheek and left.

She had a bad feeling about all of this, and something told her that she was going to be responsible for something bad. She tried to shake the feeling off and went into her room, her roommate was still asleep.

"Damn Sheila, you sleep too much" muttered Ace as she grabbed her laptop and left the room. She rather work outside in the fresh air. She sat on one of the picnic tables and started to search for the symbol on her wrist. She used all types of description but she didn't succeed. There was nothing on the net about it. She sighed in frustration, as she turned her gaze to the other tables she could see all the pretty girls from Spencer Academy, all dressed up with a lot of makeup. She hated these types of girls, so fake and empty headed. It remembered her of her family. She tried to focus on her search but she finally gave up.

"Damn it, what the hell does this stand for? Someone please help me!" whined Ace as she felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. She turned round and there was Tyler.

"Hey Ace, feeling stressed?"

"Yeah, it's just that I don't know what the fuck this symbol means and I have a really bad feeling about this"

He nodded and took a look at her tattoo, he shrugged.

"I have no clue, but you know what bothers me is the missing page on the book of symbols where an explanation would have been found for all of this. It's like if it had wiped itself, it doesn't want to beexplained, if you know what I mean"

She tried to process everything he had just said "I think I know what you mean in a way, but you really chose the hard way to explain it" laughed Ace

"So, Ace tell me about you. I know you have some type of power, you seem to be a tough girl but that's really about it. How about share some of your life with me as I can't just touch you and know everything about you" Ace smiled ate him; he was the first person to ever ask her something like that.

"Well, in that case I'll tell you a bit about me"

Tyler grinned and listened, she began "My real name is Alex Kent, I am seventeen years old and I will be turning eighteen on the 11th of May" she was interrupted by Tyler saying "That is soon, isn't that like three weeks from now?" she nodded and continued "My family, well is a bit special. My mom is crazy; she thinks she is god's gift to earth. Rich and beautiful, my sister is just like her. My brother is an absolute prick, he is adored by girls, he is kind of the Aaron type, but worse. So pretty much I hate my family and I have always been the odd one out. Not that I really cared, I did my own thing, so that's why my mom sent me here. She thought it was about time I got socially informed"

"So what about your dad, I mean you mentioned everyone except him"

Ace looked up at the sky and thought back about her dad, "he was the most amazing person on earth. He knew a bit about everything, I have never ever met anyone like him. I could talk to him for hours about just anything. He understood me and was the only person who never let me down. But, someone once told me angels fall first. He died of a heart attack when I was sixteen. That's really the main reason I was sent to this school" concluded Ace with tears in her eyes as she thought of her dad. The one person she would give her life to see him again, and many times since he died she had thought about it.

Tyler looked at her sympathetically "I'm really sorry", she nodded her head.

"I miss him so much you know, I miss his advice, I miss his words, I miss every single bit of him" murmured Ace

"I don't know if this is of any use, but you have a friend in me and I promise I won't let you down no matter what"

"Tyler I don't believe in promises, my dad promised me he would never leave me and he did"

Tyler nodded his head and could see a lot of pain in her eyes, he felt helpless like he had never before. There was a lot more to her than what he had thought, that's probably the reason why she had such a tough attitude.

"Tyler, thank you for being my friend" said Ace as she leaned over and gave him a kiss on his cheek. She grabbed her things and left. Tyler just looked at her walk away, he got up and left.

Ace walked as far from the school grounds as possible until she started to cry. She dropped her things next to her and sat on the edge of the road weeping.

"Daddy, why did you leave me? I need you here with me, only you could have helped me figure all this shit out" murmured Ace as she cried. She hid her face in her arms. Tears fell down her cheeks, she looked so vulnerable. She hated to cry, she hated feeling weak, and she wiped the tears away. She lifted her head and looked at the clear summer sky. Her eyes were red and puffy; she closed her eyes and tried to control herself.

Just then a silver GT mustang drove by, she was too absorbed in her thoughts she didn't see it stop and a young man come out of it. She had her eyes firmly closed when she felt a shadow overcast her; she opened her eyes only to find Caleb's eyes looking down at her in concern.

'Ace" he whispered "what's wrong?"

She sighed and got up; she grabbed her things and started to walk away. Caleb just stood there and he followed her.

"Ace, wait up, what's wrong? Have you been crying?"

She shook her head she turned round, "Come on, your eyes are all red and puffy"

She sighed and finally said "I'm ok Caleb, well I'll be ok"

"What happened?" asked Caleb as he handed her a tissue.

"Thanks" she murmured.

"Come on, I'll take you home and you can talk to me you know" as he opened the car door to let her in. She stopped and looked at him and said "I don't know where home is Caleb"

He looked at her in disbelief and ended up hugging her while she wept quietly.
