"Ow."
Faye tentatively reached for the back of her head. Careful to open her eyes, she gazed at her hand, relieved to find no blood.
"You're going to have a nasty bump tomorrow."
She bolted upright but fell back down as the world seemed to spin. "Son of a."
"You have a real bad habit of not finishing sentences." This voice she knew.
"Sara?"
"Yeah. Kate, Tyler and Reid are here too." Faye opened her eyes again and sighed in relief when the room did not spin.
From what she could tell. She was laying on a bed in a dorm room. Standing above her was Sara, the worry lines stood out clearly on her face. Faye felt the bed shift and looked over to find a boy sitting beside her. She remembered him from earlier. This was one of the Sons of Ipswich.
If she had to guess, he was the youngest. He had brilliant blue eyes and hair such a dark brown it looked black.
"I'm Tyler. How do you feel?" He was the one who had spoken before.
"Like I was hit with a two by four."
"I guess her brain wasn't effected too much. You were close but it was a tree."
Faye's attention went to the speaker. He was leaning against a bookshelf with his arms crossed. If Tyler was the one beside her, he had to be Reid. "Anyone ever tell you that you look like Draco Malfoy?"
His eyes tightened, "Harry Potter can kiss my ass."
Faye shut her eyes for a moment and grumbled, "Sound like him too."
"She's doing better already." Faye noticed Kate standing behind Sara.
A small smile appeared on Faye's face. "Where am I, 'cause this isn't my room."
Sara helped Faye sit up, "We found you on our way back from Nicky's and brought you back to our room."
"Why were you walking?"
"My car's in the shop and Tyler left his here. Besides, we wanted the fresh air." Sara fidgeted with the sleeve of her coat.
Picking up on this, Faye frowned. "You're lying."
"They were just worried about you after what happened at Nicky's." Tyler had not moved from his spot beside her.
She could feel her cheeks warming up and the guilt building in her stomach. "Yeah, sorry about that. You just reminded me to do something important. So, why am I in your room instead of mine?"
Tyler was surprisingly talkative, " After what you did to Aaron, we didn't think it was a good idea to leave you with Kira."
"Ah. Pissed off roommate, not exactly a good thing."
"I carried you back here. You're not as light as you look."
Faye watched Reid's smug face and kept her's completely neutral. "I eat a lot of sugar, Malfoy. Keeps my personality sweet."
Tyler eyed Reid as he tried to keep the peace, "Don't mind Reid. He's just jealous that he wasn't the one to beat the crap out of Aaron."
Studying Reid, Faye noticed his jaw clench as he looked away. It was true. She decided to give him a break. For tonight at least. "Thanks for carrying me back."
He remained as he was, looking away. "You're welcome."
"Is it just the back of your head?"
"Hm?"
Tyler decided to expand on what he said, "Is the back of your head the only thing that's hurt."
She took a moment to just feel. Her head wasn't throbbing as much. Except for that, she felt fine. "Seems so."
"Good. We're going to go back to our rooms before we get caught. See you guys tomorrow," Tyler stood up and looked down at Faye, "And I'll check how your head is doing in the morning."
Reid was the first one out, followed closely by Tyler.
"When did he become Nurse Tyler?" Kate sat down on the other bed and started getting ready for bed.
Sara opened a dresser drawer and pulled out extra bedding. She started to set up a temporary bed between the other two. "I don't know. Maybe it's another part of the Peacekeeper in him."
"Well, he's probably had a lot of experience with the others. Especially Reid. If it wasn't for Tyler, I swear he'd be dead by now." Kate pulled up the covers and got into bed.
Testing her mobility, Faye stood up slowly. The world did not spin and she was feeling much better. "I'm gonna go back to my room now. Thanks for the help you two."
Heading to the door, Sara stood in front of her and blocked her way. "I don't think so. I don't trust Kira so you are staying with us for a while. You can borrow some of my stuff for bed and we'll go with you in the morning to get everything."
Faye accepted the clothes in Sara's outstretched arms. "Fine. But if you're going to baby me like this, I claim the floor. I am not taking a bed from either of you."
There was no protest after seeing the look on Faye's face. Sara sighed, "Fine."
A big smile appeared n Faye's face. "Great! I'll just go get ready. I think I could use a shower."
Kate and Sara watched her as she grabbed and towel and left the room, closing the door quietly behind her.
Walking down the hall, Faye revelled in the quiet of the darkness. She always did love nighttime. She reached the bathroom and opened the door, taking her jacket off at the same time. Going past the mirrors, she froze.
She looked closely at herself in the mirror. Her skin was paler than usual, making her look like a ghost. Now that her jacket was off, she noticed a dark stain on her green shirt to the left of where her belly button was underneath.
Faye went over to the mirror and placed everything on the sink beside her. Still looking in the mirror, she gingerly raised the bottom of her shirt to look at her stomach. Cut into her skin was Chase's message.
"Shit."

A/N: Okay, just noticed that fanfiction likes to take out anything that has any similarity to an internet address. Like my link in chapter one but oh well, imagine what you want and that'll be good enough for me. I still haven't decided who she's going to be with because I think I'm going to have fun playing with both of them. (Muahahaha!) Thanks again to all who updated... it's getting to the point where I won't be able to personally thank all but I'll try to answer questions.
Daydream1: I am so glad to see you like my story. I have to say, yours is enjoyable. If I ever wrote about stiletto heels with a perfectly matching patented crocodile skinned bag I would probably shoot myself. Way too specific and like my Grandma for me. What do you mean EXACTLY by She-Women of the Covenant? I really want to know.
Suntiger: You'll just have to wait and find out... it might take a while though. I plan to be evil to both. Tyler has that nice caring aspect and Reid is just so fun when he's annoyed.
Draco's Secret Lover: I think you're going to like Faye's nickname for Reid. I have no idea if that was the psycho's name. Haven't seen that movie in ages. I have just always loved using that name, especially with the supernatural type stories. It tends to be another name for fairies.
Glad to hear you are enjoying my story: Skye Mercer(nice to see you're sticking with me), alexus, and xBrokenDreamerx.
