Sweet Dreams
Ch.21. Sacrificial Lamb.
"What are you doing?" I asked Tyler as I pulled my black heel-toed boots on.
"Changing," he told me from inside his closet.
"Can I have a hoodie?" I asked going in there.
"Yeah, here." He said throwing me a grey one. I turned it over and in blue writing it said Yale on it.
"Yale?" I asked knowing but not wanting to here the response.
"My dad went there. The funny thing is he expects me to go to." He said and I fake smiled.
"Like you could get in." I joked and he nodded.
"Yeah, that's what I said. I mean look at my math grade." He joked with me while pulling a white shirt out of a dresser. He then in the process took off his shirt before I jumped him.
"What was that for?" he asked as I now sat on top of the dresser.
"For the fact that: one I love you, and two you're freaking sexy." I laughed out before kissing him viciously again and pulling at his jeans.
"I wish we could but we need to leave." he told me and I pouted and he mocked me.
"Jerk!" I told him before helping him put his shirt on.
"God, I love you." He told me with a smile and I nodded and jumped off the dresser.
"You better," I told him before kissing and leaving him in the closet.
"What was that?" Carson asked quietly before seeing a light coming down the hallway.
"Up!" Caleb pointed to the ceiling, and the next thing Carson knew she was floating in the air very close to the high ceiling. Caleb covered his sister's mouth as a security guard came into the room. Seconds later the file started to slip from his hand, before it fell all the pieces of paper fell out. Pouge stopped it in mid air; the security guard checked the room before leaving. The floated down silently while picking up the papers and putting the file back where they found it.
"Pope, Pope, Goody Goodwin Pope." Caleb said to himself as the walked out of the office. "Hey!" he said stopping Carson and Pouge from walking out of the building. "Agnes Goodwin Pope, that's where I've heard it before,"
"Huh?" Carson said at the same time Pouge asked him what he was talking about.
"The book of damnations, they use to call her Goody Pope." Caleb tried to remind them both and neither one of them was remembering.
"I haven't read the book since we were kids." Pouge told them both while scratching his head. They both then turned to Carson.
"Hey, don't look at me Ally is the one you want to talk to." She told them while holding her hands up.
As they all sat down around the pentagram without me, they told each other anything they knew about what was going on.
"One of the names of the families who brought charges to Putman was Pope." Caleb told them as he flipped through pages of the book of damnations using. "Goody Pope, widow to Jacob, mother to Hagen."
"So what?" Reid said not wanting to believe any of this.
"She claimed that John Putman came to her as an incubus in her dreams, after she was widowed. The book also records births and deaths. Goody Popes husband Jacob died, June 4th 1692. Son Hagen was born April 11th 1693. That's ten months and 24 days later." Caleb told them before rubbing his eyes, and shutting the book mentally.
"If what you're saying is true Hagen Pope; is the bastard child of John Putman then the fifth bloodline of the covenant didn't end in Salem." Tyler said trying to wrap his head around all this.
"Then Chase is one of use," Caleb told him not wanting to believe it himself.
"That's just crazy," Reid told him pointing out the obvious.
"That night after the party at the dells, someone was using. The power was strong enough to wake me, the next night it happened again." Caleb informed them before getting interrupted by Pouge.
"I felt it then," he said and Tyler chimed in.
"See I told you," he said pointing towards Reid. "I felt it then too."
"When you said it wasn't you were you lying?" Carson asked him and Reid rolled his eyes.
"No," he said looking pissed but Carson didn't care as long as it got to the bottom of this.
"You swear?" Caleb asked getting daggers from Carson.
"He wouldn't lie to me," she told him and Caleb ignored her.
"You swear?" he asked Reid again.
"I swear," Reid told him holding up two fingers. "Scouts honor."
"Then it was him," and then Caleb's phone went off. He answered and it mumbled some conserving words into the phone before hanging up.
"What is it?" Carson asked noticing Caleb tensing up.
"He's put a spell on Kate." He said and everyone looked to Pouge who was in shock.
"What are you talking about? What kind of spell?" he asked and Caleb took a deep breath before speaking.
"Creation… spiders." and with that Pouge was up and running up the stairs.
"Wait don't do anything?" Caleb yelled at him as all the candles around them started to flicker but Pouge was gone.
I heard a knock on my door so I shoot up and answered it quickly thinking it would be Tyler, but when I opened it I found Caleb.
"Hey," I said kinda half smiling not sure what the fuck he was doing at my dorm room. "Come on in," I told him and he did looking all brooding. "What's wrong?" I asked as he sat down on Carson's bed.
"You seen Pouge?" he asked and I shook my head no.
"Why?" I asked and he just shrugged.
"What is up Caleb?" I asked nudging him.
"Did you hear about Kate?" he asked I shook my head no.
"Is she okay?" I asked and he shrugged.
"I'm not sure." he told right as another knock hit my door.
"Maybe that's my brother." I said while standing up the get the door. When I opened it I was in shock Caleb? I opened the door wider and looked back at the Caleb sitting on Carson's bed before getting put in the dark. When I opened my eyes I was sitting on my bed being held by my hair.
"What the fuck is going on?" I asked looking at now a Caleb and Chase.
"Let them talk now sweetie." A voice purred into my ear. The voice was familiar and almost soothing. I cocked my head to the side and caught a glimpse at someone who has changed so much. Julia!
"Now now, Calm down." Chase said coming over and sitting down by us and touching my arm. Caleb looked really pissed where he was standing right in front of the door. Chase moved his fingers over my arm before a spider appeared and started slowly walking up my arm.
"Don't hurt her!" He told him and Chase smirked.
"I always knew there was something more than sibling like love between you two." He kind of shouted.
"You put me under this spell and I'll die." I told him holding back the tears before getting my hair pulled tighter.
"Stop it!" Caleb shouted this time. "This is between me and you."
"Caleb I beg to differ. This is between the sons and in her case daughters of Ipswich." He cheered like it was so important. "But weather she lives or dies is completely up to you my friend." With that I felt a sharp pain coming from my neck. Julia was sucking my blood what the fuck this wasn't Twilight.
"Stop!" I screamed before hearing Chase laugh and me passing out again.
"Now, now we can't have the fun without you try and stay awake." Chase told me while hitting my cheeks to wake me up. Julia wasn't holding my hair anymore because I didn't matter I was too weak to go anywhere.
"You can't imagine growing up not knowing what this was. When I finally found my real father, he finally filled in all the missing pieces. But it was too late, I was hooked." He smiled while taking me from Julia and touching my cheek. Another spider appeared and Caleb jumped.
"She can't take anymore; you're going to kill her." He told Chase who was having too much fun.
"By then he was such a bitter young man. Or should I say bitter young old man." He laughed "that all he wanted to do was end the suffering. Like all our bloodline before us he was more than willing to break the laws of your sweet little club." He said pausing and kissing my neck before getting hit by me and laughing. "Isn't she fun?" he laughed and I rolled my eyes and fixed them on Julia who was gone.
"So I got him to give me a share of the power!" He laughed continuing with his story. "And he died knowing that his son was going to get revenge on your covenant."
"What is this all about?" Caleb asked tried of his bullshit. "I mean what do you want?"
"Want?" Then he tossed me on the ground and I knocked over Carson's night stand.
"I'm Chase Collins," he laughed. "I have everything I could possibly want. But what I need, more power!" He was talking and I was pulling myself up onto my bed. He started walking around the room looking and touching things.
"Tomorrow night birthday boy. At the moment you ascend, be at Putman barn. Where you will, will me you power." He said smirking and I went pale I swear I almost blacked out again. My body was burning up to a crisp but I could barley move as I lay on my bed watching and listening to everything happen. I noticed Caleb was looking at me with sadness, anger and a mix of other emotions in his eyes.
"You do that, I let her live. And Carson, Pouge, Reid, Tyler, Kate, your mom. They all live!" He screamed before throwing everything off my desk. I jumped a little bit not expecting it. "And don't think, I won't kill them. I can take her right now just to make a point?" He smiled at me before walking closer to Caleb. "Just asked my adoptive parents."
"And you're mom?" I asked with a wicked smile.
"How do you know about that? I've been watching you all night. You haven't talked to anyone but Tyler since tonight." he said and I smiled pushing myself up on the bed.
"You see I think it was an accident." I told him and he laughed.
"We have a winner the first time I ever use and my mother dies." He laughs again "which should be a warning to you. Killing it comes naturally to me."
"He killed that kid at the dells." Caleb told me and I nodded knowing he must have.
"Well he caught me doing a little magic, and just wouldn't forget." He told us with so much enthusiasm. The next thing I knew I was burning up from the inside out and everything was going blurry.
"What are you doing?" Caleb asked him loudly.
"Making a point," Chase said smirking I'm sure. Caleb couldn't take it anymore he deiced he was going to use on him. Just as Caleb's eyes turned black Chase's also did twice as fast and before Caleb knew it he was on the ceiling getting moved a crossed the room before getting dropped on the floor by the closets, then dragged on the floor into the bathroom and tossed into the mirror shattering it and breaking the light bulbs also. Chase laughed the whole time he walked over to him.
"Do you see my problem here?" he asked still laughing before kneeling down besides Caleb who was on the bathroom floor. "I like to use, a lot." he said and I laughed.
"That's an understatement." I managed to get out.
"SHUT IT!" He screamed causing me to jump. "Only know one ever told me about the side effects, you know the ageing?"
"And addiction!" I added before getting daggers from him so I decided to shut up.
"So as I see it, I add your power to what I already have." he smiled while stepping on Caleb who was moving around trying to get glass off of himself.
"It won't stop the ageing. Your father obviously found out the hard way." Caleb said and the father crack set Chase off who then decide to kick him in the face.
"Stop!" I yelled noticing his glamour had worn off and his face was black and blue already from Tyler.
"My father never had this kind of power!" he yelled as I struggled to get off the bed but only ended up on the floor.
"It's the body that wears down, NOT THE POWER!" Caleb yelled chocking on his own spit.
"Just think of yourself as a sacrificial lamb. Hell you're already there golden boy. Why not go out a real hero? If it's your bloodline you're worried about I'm sure Ally has something in the oven… Or Sarah!" he joked before kicking Caleb in the stomach.
"Tomorrow night, the barn, where it all started. A birthday party just you and me. It's either you or them? " He said looking at me on the floor and smirking. "Brother!" he added bitterly before getting up and putting my room back the way it was before he got here, but leaving me and Caleb on the floors. Caleb then brushed himself off and walked over and helped me off the floor.
"Are you alright?" he asked sitting me on my bed.
"Yeah," I told him as I started regaining my strength back.
"Pouges been in an accident." he told and I stopped and looked at him.
"What?" I asked not thinking those would be the next words out of his mouth. "We've got to go then." I said getting up grabbing my purse and heading for the door.
