Chapter 6

Ace could have stayed in his arms forever, but she pulled away. She gently touched his cheek and said "Thank you for believing in me, thank you for being with me"

"That's what friends are for" as he took her hand and kissed it, she smiled and went up to the room where she took a shower. She felt the soothing of the hot water all over her body.

"Where the hell am I going to find a guy and simply fall in love?" she got out of the shower and to her surprises all her clothes and belongings were there. She put on a dark green polo shirt, worn out jeans and blue all stars. She dried her hair and let it lose. She went downstairs feeling a little better and found Caleb feeding his face.

"Feel better?" she nodded "I thought, if you want to of course, to come with me to the old manor house and take a look at the old books and see if we find anything useful"

"Sure", they left the house and drove to the old house. During the ride Ace was unusually quiet, until she finally said "I have never fallen in love, I mean I don't just quite believe it, I've had my fare share of guys and crushes but that's about it"

"You know, now that you mention that, I don't know if I love Sarah. I mean I like spending time with her but I don't love her. I don't know what to do Ace, I don't want to hurt her" said Caleb

"How do you know you don't love her?"

"I don't, it's just that I care for her, but recently my feelings toward her have changed a bit. I don't miss spending time with her, I know it sounds terrible but that's the truth"

"It's ok, you'll find out soon"

"So going back to my issue, what if I give Reid or Tyler a try? You know just see if I fall for any of them and I break this curse thing"

Caleb stopped the car and turned to her with a horrified look on his face "You have got to be kidding, no way Ace, I won't let you do that"

"Geeze Caleb, then where the hell am I going to find the right guy? Come on they would be perfect, Reid is hot and well Tyler is so sweet"

"No, and that's my last word" said Caleb with a serious face, Ace just looked at him and widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Caleb, I don't belong to you, you know that don't you?"

This took Caleb by surprise, "I don't belong to you" resounded in his mind a couple of times. He started up the car again and drove silently, until they got to the old house.

The place was old, shattered windows, burnt wood and it just had a really creepy feeling.

He lead the way until they entered the place, they went down to the basement where candles lit the place up magically.

"Wow" murmured Ace as she looked around. It was full of ancient books and on the floor was the Ipswich symbol; it looked a bit like the Jewish start but not quite. Caleb's eyed went jet black and two books flew into his hand, he handed one to her.

"Pretty hot stuff" said Ace trying to cheer him up a little. He had been very quiet ever since she had the not belonging to him.

He just nodded at her comment and sat down on the floor, they started reading. Hours went by; they read through loads of books and found nothing. Eventually Ace closed a book and said "My eyes hurt"

She stretched on the floor; she did not close her eyes as she knew if she did s he would see the buildings past something she didn't want to see.

"There is nothing about you or anything to do with you" murmured Caleb as he ran his finger through his hair and let out a sigh.

Ace got up and laid her hand on his shoulder "Don't fret Danvers, we'll figure it out"

He nodded and sat quietly thinking, she didn't belong to her. Why the hell then didn't he want her to go out with Tyler or Reid? They were his friends, even if Reid could be a real pain he would treat her right, or he would make sure he did.

"That's it Caleb, I've had enough. What the hell is bugging you right now? You have been quiet ever since our talk in the car?"

"I'm just thinking, would you mind?"

"Fine, whatever" muttered Ace as she got up and started to climb up the stair.

"Wait, don't go" she turned back and their eyes met. Then she saw his eyes go black and she was pulled to him by an unknown force. He was now standing as she shot to him. He caught her by the waist.

Her eyes widened, "Something is happening to me Ace, I don't know what it is but I plan to figure it out"

She looked up at him and asked "What's wrong? Can I help you out?" as she moved her hand to touch him, he shook his head and let her go.

"Caleb" said Ace quietly, he looked at her and watched her lips twitch; her perfect features her powerful black eyes who were looking weak and tired.

"You are a great guy, and if all this is about Sarah you will work things out"

He gave her a small smiles as he watched he climb up the stairs, always thinking about others except for herself. He shook his head and followed her.

As they drove back to the mansion, Sarah's car was there.

"Shit" muttered Caleb

"You know what, you go in, I'll take a walk it will make her even madder if she sees me arrive with you"

He nodded and she went toward the gardens.

He opened the door and walked into one of the living rooms, he heard voiced and there he saw Sarah and him mom.

"Hey baby" said Sarah as she walked towards him and gave him a kiss on the lips.

His mom excused herself and left them alone.

"So, are you ok? You haven't called me since the other day and I wanted to see if everything was ok"

"Sarah sit down" as he sat down next to her

"What is it Caleb?" asked Sarah this time more concerned.

"Look, when I met you things were different. I never made a connection with a girl as far as I did with you, you showed me a lot of things that I never experienced, and I am grateful for it. But Sarah, I realized one thing, I care for you a lot, and I want to keep you as my friend, someone I can talk to. But what I feel for you isn't love, well it is in a way but it's more lust than just love. I love you as my friend not as my lover"

Sarah stared at the man in front of her; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"You are breaking up with me?"

"Well technically we never made it official, but yes I am"

"I don't believe you Caleb, I gave everything into this"

"Did you really Sarah? Because honestly I don't think so, but look I don't want this to draw us apart"

"It's about her isn't it?"

"What?"

"Ace, it's about her right"

"No it's not, well I don't think it is, it's about me Sarah"

"Look I'll let you think this over, but you are making a really big mistake here, but if this is what you want I'll accept it" Sarah sighed, it wasn't in her nature to be a bitch, although it hurt her to lose Caleb.

"That's what I want Sarah"

"It's ok Caleb, it wouldn't be me to act like a bitch, I tried but didn't quite succeed" Caleb let out a chuckle "That's the principal reason I like you so much and hopefully we will keep on being friends"

Sarah gave him a smile and finally said "I can't compete with her, can't I?"

Caleb looked at her a bit confused, "What are you talking about?"

"Ace, oh please don't do the act with me, I can see it, everyone can, even your mom"

"See what?" asked Caleb even more confused.

"You're in love with her! For God's sake you are really thick"

"No…I…can't be" muttered Caleb as he looked outside the window and se Ace fooling around with the dogs and laughing.

"I have to admit she's a great girl I just didn't want to see it, I really hope you wake up Caleb or you just might lose her" said Sarah as she got up and kisses Caleb one more time, she left the room and waved good bye to his mom. She got into her car and thought about what had just happened.

"It wasn't meant to be" said Sarah out loud as she turned the ignition and drove away from the mansion.

When Ace saw her drive away she ran into the house, her white cheeks were flustered and looked at reddish, she looked adorable.

"Hey, is everything ok? I saw Sarah drive away"

"Yeah Ace, everything is more than fine" said Caleb a bit spaced out as he watched the girl in front of him, he had been blind.

"Are you sure? You look funny Caleb" said Ace as she eyed him closer and then shrugged and walked to the kitchen to eat something.

"I am more than just fine, I think" said Caleb as he tried to process his shat with Sarah. His reaction to her Reid and Tyler comment had been pure jealousy, deep in him; unconsciously he had wanted her to say that he was the right one.

He let out a loud cry, and in came his mom.

"Do you see it now?" asked Mrs. Danvers

He nodded his head and finally asked "But how the hell am I going to show it to her? What if she doesn't see me the same way? She sees me as her friend mom, someone she can trust"

"It said look beyond the physical aspects, you must look inside the being the carrier has set her life upon"

"Look deeper son"

He just nodded, Ace was a tough girl, the real truth was that the thought to be able to save herself with love was impossible was because she didn't believe in it.
