No one knew it but the reason why Pogue was so quite was because he was really thinking about what he would do once he ascended. He was working on a plan. No one would know 'till it was too late to stop him. Not even Caleb even though he had both his and his father's power. When Pogue Parry had made up his mind, nothing could stop him, from reaching that goal.
Pogue had English 7th period with Sarah that day. After class he met up with her at her locker.
"Hey Sarah,"
"Oh, hey Pogue," Sarah said as she was putting her stuff in her locker.
" Hey can we talk later?"
" Yea of course Pogue. Just let me know when and where and I will be there." Sarah replied. Sarah would and has always helped out her friends.
"Umm, how about we meet at my house 'round 4?"
"Do you mean your house or the dorm?"
"House, I got to go because I am going to be late for swim practice." Pogue said
"Yea, we better go before we are late. Bye, Pogue" Sarah said shutting her locker, and started walking down the hall to her Physics class.
"C-ya, Sarah" Pogue said walking back the way he came.
Pogue had to use his Power, just so he could get there with enough time to change. With Pogue using he could go fast enough so to everyone else he would just be a slight blur, there one second and gone the next. He made it in time to take off his school uniform, change to his swim suit, and make it out there for warm ups. Luckily the guys didn't question where Pogue was. Swim practice went by fast for Pogue. For him swimming has always been able to take his mind off of his problems. For some reason he has always felt natural in the water. Swim practice ended at 3:30 he went back to his dorm to grab his stuff so he can stay the night at his house instead of the dorms. It was 3:45 by the time he left. He decided to take a drive before he had to go to his house. His parents were off on some business trip so no one was home besides the care taker. Pogue got to his house at five minutes before four o'clock. Sarah was already sitting there waiting on the front steps of his house. Pogue dismounted his street bike, stored his helmet in the compartment on the back of the bike. He reached in his pocket for his house key. He hated having a ton of keys together so he kept all of his keys separate.
" You're early, so how long have you been sitting there?" Pogue said while unlocking the door.
"Not very long. I actually only got here a couple of minutes ago." Sarah repiled grabbing her purse and following Pogue into the house.
Sarah thought back to the last time she was here. It was the before the Fall Fest and Kate, Pogue, Caleb and herself were meeting up at Pogue's house then they were going to go out on a double date. It was just raining on Caleb's and her drive over, but as soon as they had gotten to Pogue's house it had storming really bad. The four of them had decided to stay in and just watch movies instead. The guy's let the girls pick the first one while they went and got snacks. The girls picked "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and after that they would take turns picking the next movie to watch. By 11 o'clock the storm had still not let up enough so that they could drive back to the dorms, so Pogue told them that they could crash there for the night. They had ended up falling asleep in the living room.
After snapping out of her quick flashback, Sarah noticed that Pogue had completely avoided the Living Room and instead led her to the Library which was on the right and all the way in the back. It was pretty much the farthest you could get away from the Living room without having to go out side. The Library was a circular room. The walls were completely covered by books and knickknacks due to built in shelving. In the middle was a desk, and office chair and two twin leather chairs. Once Sarah was seated in one of the leather chairs, Pogue took off his backpack which he was wearing and set it down on the Desk and pulled out Kate's Journal. He then proceded to pull over the other leather chair next to the one that Sarah was currently occupying.
"Sarah, I am sorry," Pogue began once he was sitting and looking in her eyes, "I am sorry that I thought that this wasn't hard for you as well. You are right, Kate would want me to stay and finish out the school year so I can graduate."
"Honestly Pogue," Sarah Started and took Pogue's hand in hers, " I am not surprised that you thought it wasn't hard for me. I have been trying to stay strong for you, for all of you." Pogue gave her a small smile at her last words.
" Sarah, I need you to do me a favor."
"Sure Pogue, what do you need?"
"I need you to keep the guys away from the Danver's Colony house on the night I ascend."
"I thought your power was still messed up. And how do you suggest I keep them away?"
"Tell them I will meet you guy's at Nicky's that night, then the four of us will head over to Marble Head, after dropping you off, for my ascension," Pogue lowered his eyes then brought them back to her face. When his eyes met Sarah's eyes, Pogue's were as black as night. The 'Son's' Eyes did this when they were 'using', "and as for my power," Pogue dropped Sarah's hand and stood up. He looked at her as all the books and knickknacks flew off their shelves. They spun and flew through out the room. After a minute or so everything flew back to the shelves, not a book or knickknack out of place and nothing was broken. He lowerd his eyes again, when he looked back up his eyes were back to normal, "it's back in my control," Pogue crossed over to his seat and put Kate's Journal in his lap, " I guess after reading Kate's Journal it calmed me down enough so I could 'use' and be in control of it. Speaking of her journal did you ever read it?"
"No, I didn't read it." Sarah said shaking her head. She felt a little better now since Pogue was back in control of the power.
" I want you to take it then and read it. You can give it back to me once your done." Pogue said while handing over the Journal to Sarah, " Just don't loose it."
" I wont Pogue believe me, I wont," Sarah assured him while taking the journal. Looking him straight in the eyes, "Just promise me something Pogue."
"Sure Sarah,"
" Don't do anything stupid..or dangerous that night ok?"
" I won't, or atleast I will try not too."
Sarah just nodded knowing after what happened with Chase and seeing Caleb's Father, that it can be hard once you ascend to control their power once it matures.
"I am glad you told Kate, Sarah. I would have hated it she didn't know. I…I was planning on tell her at the Fall Fest."
"Pogue…"
"Sarah, please just let me finish. I was going to tell her then because… I was going to propose to her…I was going to ask her to marry me…" Pogue sat there with his head in his hands.
" I…still have the ring I was going to give her…" Pogue pulled out a simple chain from underneath his shirt, on it was a Diamond engagement ring, " I have kept it wwith me since I got out of the Hospital, I had it on me that night, that I went after...Chase…,"
"Pogue...it's beautiful…" Sarah said admiring the ring that was around Pogue's neck. He stuck the chain and ring back underneath his shirt.
"Did Kate freak out when you told her about our Power?"
"Surprisingly no, to her I guess it just made sense. Like all the pieces were finally coming together. She figured that that was why you always had all those "family things" that you had to go too. She also told me to tell you to be careful...because I told her about Caleb's father…I hope you guys aren't mad at me…I just thought she should know…"
"Sarah, none of us could be mad at you for that, or even upset. We just were caught off guard that night, that's all."
Sarah nodded at what he just said because she knew it was true.
"Pogue, we are going out to Nicky's…Come with us…please?"
Pogue sighed.
" Alright, I will come. Sarah, just don't say anything to the guys…not any of this, including the ring ok?"
"I won't, don't worry." Sarah gathered up her things and stood while Pogue grabbed his backpack. They headed out of the house together. Once they were out the door Pogue turned around and locked it.
"I'll meet you there Pogue. We are going to be there 'round seven." Sarah said before she got in her car.
"I'll be there." Pogue grabbed his helmet out of the compartment and pulled it on. He started up his bike while waiting for Sarah to pull out. Once she had exited the driveway Pogue got on his bike, and headed to his dorm to shower and change.
