Chapter 8

"This place is so peaceful" murmured Ace as she sat on a rock watching Reid try and wash his hair unsuccessfully instead he was getting all wet.

"Darn this"

Ace looked up into the Sky, why did all this have to happen to her? Why couldn't she be just a regular girl with a regular life and a boyfriend that loved and cared for her? He closed her eyes, big mistake; her mind was transported to last night. Caleb was taking off her earphones and then kissed her goodnight. It hadn't been a dream, it had actually happened.

"What the hell?" murmured Ace, it had really happened, he had kissed her goodnight. She got up and started walking back to the road.

"Hey, wait up" yelled Reid as he ran behind her, she didn't turn back she was too shocked by what she had just seen.

"Ace, where are you going?"

Without hesitating Ace said the one word she had never felt before in her life "Home"

She finally go onto the road and started walking leaving a confused Rid behind.

"Ace, I'll take wherever you want to" she turned around and said "Danver Mansion"

Reid nodded and in no time she getting out of the car and running into the house. She didn't know why she had reacted that way but she wanted to talk to Caleb, she wasn't sure why just yet.

"Caleb" yelled Ace

"Over here" as his head poked out from behind a door, she walked into the library where he was sitting on the couch looking at pictures.

"Caleb, I just wanted…" but was interrupted by him saying "Look at this picture of the four of us when we were eight years old"

She sighed and took a look at the picture; everyone was smiling except for Caleb who wore a serious look on his child face.

"Your were really cute"

"Hey… why in past tense? What happened to the present?" Ace let out a giggle, and looked at Caleb and said with a tinge of mischief in her eyes "I said you were cute, because now you are gorgeous"

This took Caleb by surprise but gained composure by grinning at her. She gave him a smile and sat down no the carpet where she looked at the rest of the pictures.

"Wow, look at Tyler in the picture, he looks so serious"

"I know, he was a real handful when he was a kid, I mean always poking around fooling around"

"He has changed quite a bit then"

"Yeah he has, well I think we all have"

"I don't know, you still seem to be the serious one even when you were a kid"

Caleb shrugged and continued "So was there something you were going to tell me when you walked in yelling my name?"

Ace hesitated and looked deep into his eyes, "you wire in my room last night weren't you?"

"What?" asked Caleb a bit shocked, she had been fast asleep he was sure about that.

"I saw it q while ago when I was with Reid"

"Oh when you were with Reid, how did that go by the way? You seemed happy with him" asked Caleb a bit annoyed.

Ace looked at him in surprise, "You know Caleb, I don't know what you have against Reid, and I honestly don't know why you are acting like this. This happened at breakfast, you keep using this little tone I don't like at all" said Ace a bit hurt. Her look softened Caleb to no end, "I'm sorry Ace, and it's just that I care a lot for you. I have known Reid for a very long time and he has always liked to play around with girls, I don't want him to do that with you"

Ace gave him a sympathetic look and did something that Caleb would have never expected, she curled up beside him and instinctively he wrapped his arms around her as she lay her head on his chest.

"Thank you so much for worrying about me, don't worry I can take care of myself"

Caleb nodded and unconsciously he started to stroke her hair as he said "I know, it's just that…well never mind"

She looked up to him, their eyes locked up in a deep gaze, she saw for a moment desire in his eyes and at the same time hopelessness.

"Caleb, be honest with me is there something bothering you?"

He stared at the girl wrapped in his arms, why couldn't he just spill his heart to her right now? He knew better, and that wasn't Caleb Danvers. He was the cautious one, the one to think before taking actions.

He shook his head, "No, I'm just a bit tired"

"Are you sure, I'm not intruding your thoughts or anything but there is something bothering you I can feel it"

Shit, he thought to himself, how could he have forgotten that she could read his mind?

What if she had read his mind and knew he was in love with her. No that couldn't have happened, knowing her she would have talked to him.

"Uh, you haven't been wandering into my thoughts lately have you?"

She shook her head "No I would never do such thing, only if you ask me to I will. I respect people's privacy you know"

He gave her a small smile, she was just so natural, and there was not a single drop of fakeness in her. Everything about her was real, her beauty was real and she was just overwhelming.

"Caleb, you keep spacing out"

"Uh sorry" muttered Caleb feeling a bit embarrassed as Ace giggled.

"So, I better go check on my school things for tomorrow. Night Caleb" as she got up and kissed him on the cheek. As she turned round he sighed and wanted to grab her and kiss her but he didn't.

She walked up the stairs and started to take off her clothes, this last week at the Danvers' mansion had been great. She hadn't been fainting or experiencing unpleasant dreams, her tattoo hadn't glowed ever since the Reid incident, maybe everything was going to be alright. She didn't quite believe that. She knew that peace came before a big storm, she shivered at the thought.

She took off her clothes and put on a t-shirt and a pair of silk pajama shorts and sat on her bed.

"Tomorrow I wake up early, great" muttered Ace as she got up and walked to the window that had a view to the back garden and to the woods.

It was dark and quiet, maybe too quiet for her taste. She looked around and thought she saw something move, she shook her head. She looked again, and she heard a faint rustling of leaves.

"Shit, there is something or someone there" she said a bit too loud, she felt a pair of eyed look up to where she was. Big mistake talking out loud she said to herself, the rustling stopped, she felt s shiver go up her spine. She stepped back from her window and walked to the door. As she was about to open the door she let out a scream that could be heard for miles and miles. There outside her window was a figure floating, it was smiling at her.
