Chapter 6: Worries

-Danvers' residents' , early morning-

Caleb sat hunched over his desk, in the wee hour of the morning, working on a case.

"This should win it."

he exclaimed to himself, or so he thought.

"What should win it?" questioned his wife as she entered the room with a cup in hand. Caleb smiles to himself, before looking up at Sarah, who now stood beside him.

"You know I can't tell you, nice try thou, Ink." chuckling softly, Sarah replies,

" I know but I had to try, Chief." she finished with a teasing grin as she place a cup of tea, next to him.

"Don't stay up to much longer, the bed is getting cold." She added as she kisses his check,

"Thanks and I shouldn't be to much long." Caleb says as he lifts the cup to his mouth and takes a sip.

"Ok, night cal. Love you." Sarah turns to leave the room,

"Love you too, Sar."

Caleb turns goes back to work, unaware of their shared worries.

-Same place, later that day-

"Mom!'

Theo yells as he and the boys enter the house, "You here?".

The group wonders in to the kitchen, where they begin to raid the fringe and pantry.

"Yes, and no shouting in the house." Sarah answers as she enters the kitchen.

Theo looks over at her sheepishly,

"Sorry, won't happen again."

He says as he kisses her on the cheek, fallowed by the other boys,

"Hey Mama D. how is your latest book coming?" questioned Ax as he plotted down on her counter, with a smirk.

"Good, Ax. Thank you for asking."

She responds as she knocks him off the counter,

*THUD*

the other turn to see, what happen and brake out in laughter.

"MAMA D, how could you?"

Axel cries from the floor, looking up at Sarah, who is trying her best not to laugh as she says,

"Maybe next time you won't sit on my freshly washed counters."

and turns leaving the room. Seconds pass, before laughter is heard from down the hall way, causing the boys, including Ax, to explode in laughter, themselves.

-Spencer dorm rooms-

"Hey gorgeous, thought you were with the ball and chain."

A sleazy voice, of a wanna be hooker.

"Na, she's doing our class project, even if she wasn't, like she could keep me away from you."

Brody said as he wrapped his arms around, a frizzy, bad die job, streaky haired girl, kissing and biting at her neck.
The unknown girl, giggles

"Why do you put up with her, she's so…."

She said between giggles, but was stopped by her shirt being ripped off.

"Enough talk."

Left Brody's mouth in a growl, before they continued doing the "naughty".

-Spencer library-

Kari sat bent over piles of books and papers , struggling to finish a 12 page paper by herself.

"It will be easy, you do 6 pages, I do 6 pages."

She mumbled to herself, anger rising, her eyes unknowing flashing fire,

"Got practice, your smart, you don't need a moron, like me, slowing you down."

the mumblings continued, her eyes no longer, the trouble-filled brown, but a rage-filled black. The papers around her begin to smoke, unnoticed by her, as her mutterings drift away from the paper and to the bruises, that were now glowing white, before dissolving completely, leaving nothing but the memory of the beating Brody, had "lovingly" gave her, mere hours ago. The papers in front of her, burst into flames, around her, causing the sprinkles to go off, shocking her back into reality,

"Sh*t"

She hissed to herself before running out of the building, with the other students and teachers.

"I'm so dead." She cringed as she tried to wring out of shirt.

- The colony house, basement-

The room is a glow with candle light, as four adults, stand in silence.

"Caleb, what happened?" Reid's voice broke through the silence, surrounding the "Original Sons".

*sigh* "I'm not sure, she claims, the library sprinkler just went off, she had nothing to do with a fire. But I don't think she's telling me everything."

Caleb said, hating the words leaving his mouth. This was his little girl, his miracle.

"You mean she lied?" Came Pogue's astonished voices,

"why would she?" he added as he looked at his friend's, worried filled face.

"I don't know, but lately something has felt off, not just with her, but with the rest of the "children of Ipswich"."

Caleb's words seemed to echo around the "sons",

"what do you mean?" Tyler responded.

Caleb slid into his stone seat, before answering.

"I'm not sure, but the energy around them feels different, wrong, I guess you could say. There must be something we haven't been told or haven't noticed about them."

His words finished in a whisper, Tyler knew he should mention it, but he wasn't sure how Caleb would take it.

"Charlie mentioned something to me, that I wasn't sure how to bring up, but it might be important."

He began, catching the others attention.

"Kari has been avoiding the group, both the boys and the girls. He is worried, she hiding something, something that could hurt us all."

"yeah, I overheard Den and Arden, talking about that. Shes either doing homework or hanging out with Brody's son, from what I heard its like shes to good for them....their words not mine."

Pogue added, noticing Caleb's glare. Reid sat silently listening to the others, thinking about his own son, more preciously his son a year ago, he seemed happier then, now he was different, and Reid knew it had something to do with this, weather that was good or bad he wasn't sure yet, but he'd find out before mentioning it to the others.

"So what do I do?" Caleb asked, snapping Reid out of his daze.

"I don't know, but from the sound of it, better do it fast, before she exposes us, on accident or other wises."

Reid said sadly. The others nodd in agreement,

"I know, I'll talk to Sarah and go from there, I guess." Caleb said more to himself then anything before the "O. Sons" exit the basement.

-Grimn's home-

"She bailed on us again!" Fumed Scar throwing a pillow across the room,

"Are you kidding?!?" Arden asked/freaked.

"She's with BRODY....AWWW....I hate him, he's brainwashing her against us or something."

Scar said plopping down next to Arden on her couch,

"whatever, if she rather be with brody then us, her loss, Im done with her."

"agreed." Arden said as they start a movie and munch on the junk food spread out on the table.

Unknown to the girls, they were not alone,

"perfect, my plan is coming true, No girls means no more back up to protect her from alian-nating herself from the remaining boys. Soon my dear, we will be together." A voice sounded through the shadows', before disappearing into the night.

Are the "" going to find out Kari's painfully secret? Or will she lose all her friends? Who is the voice and what is the plan? Keep reading to find this and much more out. As always, reveiws, good, bad or filled with questions, are great so keep them coming.
And sorry for the long wait, my computer is being evil, typed this chapter up on friends lap top. Hopfully, I can get it fixed soon, so the story can progress fast.
Love your,
