Destinies Chapter 13, a covenant fanfic

Chapter 13

Jonathon Downing headed down one hallway after another leading his nephews. His brother Sloan was waiting in a family room to see his sons. He'd watched over them since they'd been babies, but he knew his brother was longing to hold and see them. He stopped opening a door, and looked in. Sloan was pacing up and down the floor, and he froze looking at the door, and fought down his nervousness. He nodded at his brother that he was ready.

Jonathon stood back and motioned for his nephews to go on in the room. Sloan led the way in freezing when he saw the man before him. He cried out running into the man's arms, surprising his brothers, who didn't remember their father at all. Matthew and Michael looked at one another listening to Sloan sob against the man's chest. Their uncle stood behind them after closing the door when they entered.

Sloan cried holding his oldest son and namesake. He'd missed his boys terribly. He looked at the other two. They all had his eyes, and long eyelashes, and his coloring. He held Sloan tight to him. Memories flooded through him of holding Sloan and then his brothers as babies.

"Sloan?" Michael said. He was a little scared seeing his oldest brother react this way.

Sloan had forgotten his brother's and uncle we're there. He pulled back from his father, turning a little toward his brothers. He wondered if they remembered anything at all about him, and realized they probably didn't since he only remembered his father in his dreams.

"This is our father." He told his brothers.

Matthew and Michael looked at one another. Their father came over to Matthew and held out his arms to him, and Matthew looked into his eyes, and let himself be held by him. Something felt familiar about this, but he didn't know how or why. He was let go and his father pulled Michael into his arms.

"I haven't seen you since you we're a few days old." Sloan said crying. "I've longed to hold you and you're brothers since the day Archer killed me. My last thoughts we're of you three and you're mother."

"Is mom here?" Matthew asked a little eagerly.

"Yes. You will see her later." Sloan said watching his son Matthew's eyes light up a little. "She doesn't blame you son. You should quit blaming yourself."

Matthew looked at him in shock as his father pulled away from Michael. "Sit down boys. We have a lot of catching up to do."

Jonathon moved to sit also, his brother having asked him earlier to stay, but he felt Rayne using and he sighed. He opened his mouth to tell his brother he needed to go see to his sons, when his brother smiled at him.

"It's ok Jon, I feel one of you're son's using also. I'll be fine with my boys now." Sloan told him.

Shane stood on the cliffs looking out over the dells and to the sea. He loved this place. He'd brought Raven up here quite a few times. It's where they shared their first kiss. They had both been disappointed when the power of love didn't hit them. Of course he only wanted more power through the Downing Blood. Now that he'd had a taste of Raven he didn't want to let anyone else have her, and to do that he'd have to kill her. She'd be his forever then.

He'd come up here to get away from the house for awhile. His father's old friends we're showing up, and they we're starting to make plans to go after the Downings. He didn't care what they planned, as long as his half brothers, Raven, and Simms died. He'd go then in peace. He hated the Downings and his brothers. They thought they we're something special. Well he'd show them, by taking away Raven.

He heard someone coming and he hid in the brush not too far away. He grinned seeing it was Tyler Simms and he was by himself. He waited to see what he would do.

Tyler had awoke early this morning. His emotions we're tearing him apart. He missed Raven and it felt like someone was driving a hole into his heart without her. She was going to have his baby, and he was scared about that. He slowly made his way up to the top of the cliffs at the Dells. He loved looking out over the sea, and down on the beach. He had fond memories of being up here with his covenant brothers, and jumping from the cliffs to go to parties. He walked to the edge looking down, barely seeing the bottom.

Pogue who had been awake since feeling one of the four leave this realm earlier, heard Tyler get up, and leave the house, so he had followed him. He stood back out of site watching Tyler. He was the first to notice Aaron Abbot striding toward Tyler.

"Tyler look out behind you!" He cried.

'Caleb, Reid!' He projected. 'The Cliff's at the Dell's! Tyler's in trouble!' He told them as he ran up the rest of the way.

Shane heard Pogue yell and he sent out a surge of power at Tyler knocking him out, before he knew what hit him, and he sent another knocking him over the edge, and falling to his doom. He laughed evilly watching Pogue running toward him, and he disappeared right before Pogue reached him.

Jonathon nodded, and hurried out of the room. He was almost back to his own room, when he felt Rade use and the pain that came from Roman. He should have seen that one coming. Roman was bound to run into his brother's and sister in this magical realm. He ran into Ridge and Marcus on the way back to the room.

"What is going on?" He asked his son.

"Well Rayne got into a fight with Colin, cause Colin was messing with Audrey, then we noticed Vincent was missing so we all went to look for him, what's going on now I have no idea, but I felt someone using." Ridge explained to his father.

"Vincent is missing?" He asked gazing at Marcus who wasn't paying attention to their conversation, but pacing and looking around a little frantically.

"He disappeared from the club area." Ridge said worriedly. "I told the other's to meet us in about half an hour back at the room. Roman was helping look also, and the half hour was up five minutes ago."

"Well we better get back to the room before Rade and Roman tear it apart." Jonathon said.

Ridge looked at his father wondering how he knew it was those two brothers fighting. He grabbed Marcus's arm and followed along after his father. They entered the room to find Rade and Roman glaring at one another over in the family area. His eyes found Raven, who was sitting at the table looking like she was going to be sick, then she suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

"Raven!" He cried.

In another realm far from Ipswich through time and space, and dimensions, Raven sat in her parent's room watching her brother's fight. She was suddenly at the Dells watching Shane advance on Tyler, and hearing Pogue cry out. She screamed seeing Tyler fall over the edge unconscious. She hurried to the edge, and watched Tyler falling, she tried to use to stop him, but suddenly she was whisked back to the other place. She sat there gasping for breath, with everyone hovering over her. She felt her stomach heave then, and she realized it was the baby that had shown her his or her father falling to death.

"Tyler!" She sobbed.

Pogue could of swore he saw Raven standing atop the cliffs watching Tyler fall screaming his name, but then she was gone. He didn't think his eyes turning black he used to catch Tyler, and he hoped he caught him before he hit. He used to bring him back to the top of the cliffs, and he laid him down on the rock. He looked around wondering if Caleb and Reid had gotten his message. He healed Tyler, who gasped for breath as he came to.

"Thank god!" Pogue cried pulling Tyler into his arms and sobbing as he held him.

Jonathon looked at his daughter, and then hurried out of the room to talk to Machen.

Rayne let go of Rade and both of them ran over to Raven when she screamed out for Tyler.

Rayne stood over his apparently devastated sister, something had happened to Tyler he and everyone else knew it or else she wouldn't be this crushed about it.

"Raven what's wrong what did you see?" Rayne gently asked his sister.

Raven choked on her sobs trying not to get sick. She kept seeing Tyler fall before her eyes, and she couldn't save him.

"Shane killed him. Hit him with a blast of power then pushed him over the cliffs at the Dells, I couldn't stop his fall. He's gone." She sobbed.

The pain she felt was overwhelming. Her heart was aching, and there was no way to repair it. She wanted to die also. She let the blackness take over, and started to fall to the floor.

"WHAT!?" exclaimed Rayne, as much as he didn't like Simms he didn't want the kid to die now this would make Raven even more depressed.

Just as raven was about to fall Rayne saw and caught her before she hit the ground.

"Please wake up Ravie" he pleaded with her.

"She's been fainting way too often that can't be healthy for the baby" he said to his mother who was next to them in an instant.

"Ridge go get Corinne." Meredith told her son. "Bring her over to the bed, Vincent won't mind sharing the bed with her, since he hasn't woke up yet."

She smiled even though she was worried about Raven. She'd been keeping an eye on her for most of the morning, and noticed she'd just picked at her food, and hardly ate anything. She'd been scared out of her mind when Raven had disappeared. It should have been impossible to happen with all the wards up around here. She knew that Jonathon had hurried to see Machen about it, and try to figure out how it had happened.

She looked at Rade who was white as a sheet, and hovering over his twin. She nodded at Roman who went and took Rade's arm pulling him over to the couch and making him sit down. Rade was so shook up he didn't even fight him.

"Is there anything I can do?" Audrey asked Rayne's mother feeling useless at the moment.

Meredith glanced at the girl, and started seeing the glow about her, she looked pointedly at Rayne then frowning and sighed.

"When is she due?" She asked Rayne.

"Ummm...due for what?" he asked sheepishly even though he knew he couldn't lie to his mother she knew everything sometimes it scared him.

"Don't play games with me Rayne Thomas Downing! You know very well what I mean!" She said a little irate.

"Well I'm not exactly sure I only found out today and we asked Corinne to check she said that they're going to be twin boys but I think Audrey should know when she's due", he gushed out quickly to his mother afraid of her wrath because at the moment she looked pissed.

Roman laughed from across the room.

"Don't you know how to keep it in you're pants little brother? Better yet how about protection?" Roman couldn't keep from asking even after getting glared at by his mother.

"Roman Andrew!" She exclaimed.

"Sorry ma, it was just too get to pass up!"

Meredith was at wits end. She looked at Audrey then and gave her a smile.

"It's all right dear, I'm not mad that you're pregnant, just wish Rayne would have been more careful. When are you due?" She asked as Ridge returned with Corinne and Jade who had been in visiting with Corinne.

Rayne so wanted to hit Roman at the moment for his snide little comments.

"Sorry mom, I kinda wish I was more careful too, anyways I think she's four months pregnant so I guess in the next five months we're going to have two extra Downings" Rayne said to his mother he didn't notice Ridge, Corinne and Jade enter the room though.

Corinne knew that Audrey wouldn't be able to hide the pregnancy from her mother in law but she hadn't said anything. She hurried over to Raven's side to check her over. Ridge had told her what happened. She put her hands over Raven's stomach her eyes turning black, and gasped. The baby's mental pain which it shouldn't even have yet knocked her backwards into the wall, and she blacked out falling to the floor.

Ridge was glaring at his little brother overhearing the conversation. He started to say something, but he heard Corinne's gasp and barely put a shield up to cushion her fall as she fell. If he let anything happen to her Rowan would kill him. He was already dead, but that wouldn't stop Rowan. He rushed to Corinne's side picking her up. He looked up at his mother who was white.

"Take her over to the couch." She told Ridge who picked her up and carried her over, Rade and Roman jumping up to let him lay her down.

Meredith stood between Corinne and Raven, wondering what she should do.

'Jonathon.' She projected.

'What is it?' He asked she could hear the irritation in his voice.

'We have a situation on our hands, I need you're help. Raven passed out after you left, and Corinne came to check on her. Corinne was knocked backwards away from Raven by some kind of force. I'm scared Jonathon. Something's wrong with our baby.'

'Is Corinne all right?' He asked.

'Yes Ridge shielded her fall.'

'I'm on my way.' Jonathon told her breaking the connection.

Rayne went over to Audrey's side she seemed a little out of it after she saw what had happened to Corinne.

"Hey, are you ok?", he asked her, "I'm sorry about that little session with my mother and Roman chipping in his 2 cents in the conversation" he said to her.

"I'm all right. What's wrong with Raven though? What caused that to happen to Corinne?" She asked a little out of it.

"I honestly don't know Audrey I'm just as confused as you are" Rayne said to Audrey. Then walked over to Ridge.

"Ridge what just happened?" he asked him.

Ridge thought it over in his mind for awhile. "I think the baby done this. The baby is also what made Raven disappear a little bit ago."

'How was it possible though?' He thought. 'Well hell we are in a magical realm anything is possible here.'

He looked up to see his father walking in.

Jonathon crossed the room to his wife taking her in his arms and holding her for a moment, before he went to Raven's side picking her up.

"What are you doing?" Rade cried standing in front of his father.

"She'll be fine Rade, no one's going to harm her. I'm just going to have her checked out." His father said.

Ridge went over to Rade and pulled him back into his arms holding the fighting boy.

"I want to go with her!" He yelled as his father left the room with his sister.

"Where the hell are they taking her?" Rayne seethed at Ridge.

Ridge sighed nervously. "I think there taking her to terminate the pregnancy."

Rade pulled himself out of Ridge's arms and turned on him angrily. "That's her decision, not fathers!"

"You saw what just happened!" Ridge told his brothers. "It's dangerous for her!"

"No Ridge! What they're doing is wrong and you know it she will die when she finds out they killed her baby without even telling her!" Rayne shouted at Ridge and stormed out of the room to stop his father. He couldn't stand to see his sister in more pain whether it be physical or emotional.

While going down the corridor after his father Rayne knocked into Colin, Machen's son which pissed him off even more both he and Colin stood in the corridor glaring at each other for what seemed like an eternity. Rayne was even more pissed at Colin for what he did to Audrey now that he knew she was pregnant because she could have been hurt.

Rade hit Ridge with his fist knocking him backwards, and followed Rayne out of the room.

Roman looked at Ridge, blood flowing from his nose, who had fallen to the floor shaking his head.

"I agree with Rayne and Rade on this one." He said following his younger brother's out of the room.

Rade turned around and looked at him, nodded at him, and turned around to go again knocking into Rayne who was in a stare down match with some other boy.

Roman shook his head and walked on past them.

"Go play with yourself Colin, and get out of our way!" He told the younger boy who he didn't like at all.

Colin glared at Roman who thought he was full of himself. He hated the Downings who his father loved, and probably wished we're his sons instead of him.

"I hear you have a sister that's here also. I may just have to look her up while she's here." Colin said grinning.

Rade went around Roman hitting the other boy, and pushing him up against the wall.

"You touch my sister and I'll kill you do you hear me?" Rade seethed.

Colin laughed. "This is a sanctuary you can't kill me!"

"You wanna bet?" Roman said backing up his little brother, hitting Colin and knocking him out. "Let's go."

Rade stepped back letting Colin fall to the floor and kicked him in the side for good measure. He was pissed before he ran into the boy, but now he was even more pissed at the boy for threatening his sister.

Ridge had come up behind them witnessing the episode with Marcus trailing him.

Sloan, Matthew, and Michael picked that time to show up also.

"Uh what's going on here?" Sloan asked.

"Our father took Raven to terminate her pregnancy. That's her decision not his!" Rade said starting to storm off.

Sloan, Matthew, and Michael's once smiling faces turned sour hearing that. Ridge put out his hand to stop Rade, who pulled away glaring at his brother.

"I was only going to tell you that you we're going the wrong way." He said turning and starting down another hallway. "It's this way!"

"You better not be leading us down the wrong path Ridge!" Rade said.

"I'm not." Ridge said. "I agree it's Raven's decision!"

Rayne was just about to damage the boy some more before Roman and Rade ran into him. After they knocked the boy out and the Archer/Downing boys appeared they all went to get Raven away from what they were about to do to her.

Rayne followed his brothers and their covenant members down the hall to wherever Ridge was taking them.

Raven came to in a place where she didn't want to be. Her father was talking to a man in a white coat, who walked over to her, his eyes going black, and he started to reach for her stomach. Raven tried to bring her arms up but realized they were tied down. Memories of what Shane had done to her flooded through her, and she started to scream.

Her father's voice barely penetrated her mind, as his hand came down on her shoulder calming her.

"Please daddy don't let him hurt me like Shane did."

Jonathon felt his heart shatter at that. "He is only going to terminate the pregnancy Raven. That baby is a danger to you. "

"No it's not!" She cried. "It's mine you can't take it!"

"You're only sixteen Raven. I can still make decisions for you."

"You're dead though!" She sobbed. "Please don't let him daddy!"

Ridge heard his sister's screams and ran down the hallway the rest of the way to the infirmary, but the door was locked and he used to get it open bursting into the infirmary. Rade burst through after him knocking the doctor away from his twin.

"Get away from her!" He hissed.

After Rade stopped the doctor Rayne caught the doctor in midair with his power and tied him up to a chair so he couldn't go anywhere near Raven. Rayne was so angry at his father for putting Raven through this he was making her even unhappy.

Raven lay on the table sobbing. She was never going to trust her father again.

Rade reached down to undo Raven's restraints, and when he touched her arm he was stung with power, that didn't come from his sister. He pulled his hand back as if he'd been burned. He looked at Raven in shock.

Raven felt the power hit her brother, and she shivered. 'Stop it.' She told the baby. 'He's not going to hurt me.'

She felt her stomach quiver, and she leaned over getting sick.

Rade jumped back out of the way. When she was done he touched her arm again, forgetting what happened, but nothing happened this time. He undone the restraints, and pulled her into his arms.

Raven sobbed against his shoulder.

Rayne walked up to his father after Rade had Raven in his arms.

"I can't believe you dad how could you do that to her you know how fragile she is right now, after this she's going to be traumatized" he said to his father then shook his head and went over to his brother and sister and joined their hug.

"It's going to be okay raven don't worry" he said to his sobbing sister.

Raven wanted to go home more than ever, but knew she couldn't. She clung to Rade sobbing.

Ridge glared at his father, before walking over to stand with his brothers.

Roman leaned against the doorjamb watching.

"I felt it was the right thing to do." Jonathon said. "The baby is what took her away from her, went right through the wards. No one has ever done that before. That baby already has too much power! More than we could even dream of having. You going to wait till it kills her?"

Rade looked at his father. "The baby was protecting her, not trying to hurt anyone. After what Shane did I don't blame it. At least he killed the other two babies, and only Tyler's is left."

Raven froze in Rade's arms. No one knew but Corinne, Rade, and Lizzie. Her breath caught, and she forgot to breath.

"What other babies are you talking about?" Rayne asked Rade.

Rade realized what he'd said too late. 'Damn!' He thought. He felt Raven go rigid against him. He pushed her away.

"I'm sorry! Now breathe!" He told her, and to his relief she started to breath again. "Just forget I said anything!" He told his brothers.

"No!" Roman said. "You brought it up now finish it!"

Rade sighed as Raven slumped against him crying. "Raven was pregnant with triplets. One was Chase's the other Shane's, when Tyler kissed her reviving her the power of love only saved his child."

Ridge hit the wall almost breaking his fist, not realizing he was using when he did.

Roman swore, and their father's eyes went dark.

When Rade told them what happened Rayne wanted to kill someone. Why did everyone have something against Raven she had done nothing to half of the people that had hurt her. Out of anger Rayne didn't even notice that he was using causing the whole room to shake.

Roman grabbed the door to keep from losing his balance.

"Uh little brother, you might want to tone that down a little, before you shatter all the magic holding this old place together." Roman said to Rayne.

Ridge glared at Rayne, holding his hand.

Roman went over to Ridge, and healed his hand.

"Thanks." Ridge said.

"Take Raven out of here." Jonathon said. "I'm sorry Raven."

He walked out of the room to go talk to Machen. This had been Machen's idea, and he'd doubted it. He was sorry that he'd tried to go through with it.

"Sorry I didn't even notice I was using" Rayne said to Roman

"By the way Ridge what's with all the glaring lately?" Rayne asked Ridge who was glaring at him again.

"You got Audrey pregnant. I told you about birth control did you forget to use it or something?" He asked.

"Oh great.." he muttered "First off I didn't forget your entire lecture on birth control but at times like those the power of love takes over and nothing else matters. Actually this may sound really bad but it was a mistake." He replied to Ridge.

"I'm sick of hearing about the power of love!" Ridge said storming out the door.

"God you did ask why I didn't use protection so I told you don't be mad at me for telling the truth" Rayne shot back at Ridge.

"Jesus Rayne. Don't you get it? Ridge doesn't know how the power of love works, neither do I for that matter, but I don't give a shit. I'm paying the price for my mistakes now. Ridge shouldn't be though. He should be experiencing the power of love like you and Raven. I wouldn't really say he's jealous of you. Disappointed in you for sure for getting Audrey pregnant." Roman said advancing on Rayne. "You're living Ridge's dream that he had to give up for the damn covenant. Get that through that thick skull of yours and grow up little brother! You're saying it was a mistake? Does that mean Audrey is a mistake and so is the power of love? We're those babies not created in love?"

Roman was pissed. He looked at Rade, who was still holding a crying Raven. Rade was shocked.

He turned back to Rayne waiting to see if that even penetrated his thick skull.

Rayne stood rooted to the spot in shock after roman told him about ridge but that soon changed to anger after what roman said about Audrey and the babies.

"Oh crap...well yea I totally forgot about Ridge and the power of love and what not but you should not be the one to tell me about Audrey because I would to anything for her and yea the babies were created in love but everybody's jumping down my throat about it!" he yelled at Roman who just severely pissed him off by saying what he said.

"You just said it was a mistake. Listen to yourself Rayne. If you really loved and wanted those babies, you wouldn't say it was a mistake. You'd take it like a man and step up, do what was right. You're not a little kid anymore, and oh shit what is today?" Roman said backing up a bit.

"Look Roman I get what you're saying but right now I'm confused and angry and tired but I will tell you that I do love Audrey and I wouldn't give her or the babies up for anything in the world by the way today is Friday" Rayne replied back to Roman, then leaned back into the wall and slid down into sitting position.

"More like isn't it you're birthday Rayne? And in exactly 50 seconds you're going to ascend?" Roman asked stepping back. "I wonder how this is going to work with the magical wards."

"Oh yea it is my birthday I guess I just forgot with everything going on" he sighed. As soon as the words left his mouth Rayne felt as though he was being torn into tiny bits and pieces it was as though the power was being blocked from getting to him which was causing even more pain until it finally got through.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" he screamed for about 3 minutes before the power stopped entering him but he blacked out due to being so exhausted and his body was still recovering from Archer's attack with this added on the pain was unbearable.

Ridge walked down the hall hating the afterlife. He suddenly felt it. 'Shit!' He thought. He'd forgotten it was Rayne's birthday. He ran back down the hall getting there just in time to see Rayne falling unconscious to the floor. Roman caught him though with his power and slowly lowered him to the floor.

Roman met Ridge's eyes raising an eyebrow. Then they both looked at Raven and Rade. Raven still had her head buried in Rade's shoulder sobbing, and Rade looked like he was in shock.

"I'll take Rayne back to his room, while you get those two." Roman said throwing Rayne over his shoulder none to gently and heading out the door.

Ridge pulled Raven away from Rade, and picked her up. He then guided Rade toward the door with his power. Rade had never seen anyone ascend before. Now he knew what to look forward to and he was probably scared. Ridge sighed as he carried Raven to his own room, and gently laid her down on the bed. She promptly fell asleep. Rade laid down beside her pulling her into his arms, and holding her. He fell asleep shortly after. Ridge sat down in an easy chair to keep an eye on them.

Rayne groggily opened his eyes after about 20 minutes but quickly snapped them back shut and to say the least he felt like he got hit by a 22 wheeler. Everywhere hurt from his toes to his head and that was the worst.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh God!" he exclaimed in utter pain it was as though his whole body had gone numb due to all the punishment it received lately.

Roman who had been sitting by Rayne's bed jumped up, his eyes turning black, and used to heal his brother soothing his pain.

"You're going to be all right Rayne." Roman said still healing him.

"Damn I don't ever want to ascend again" he complained "It felt as though a truck was running over me, by the way thanks" he said to Roman, while still laying in bed.

"No problem little brother. Just lay back and rest for awhile." Roman said sitting back and propping his feet up.

"That I do not mind doing right now, by the way I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier I need to apologize to Ridge though" he said to Roman before laying down and thinking about how to apologize to Ridge.

"That you do little brother. Now go to sleep!" Roman said.

"Ok ok" he replied and closed his eyes but for some reason he couldn't sleep then all of a sudden it was like some magical force pulled him into a deep trance in the trance he saw Mr. Archer's spirit talking to a bunch of other men but he couldn't recognize their faces and tied up in the corner was Audrey she looked all bloody and battered. Then all of a sudden he was back in the room.

"Roman when last did you see Audrey ?" he asked his brother a little out of it.

"In mom and dad's room when we left to go get Raven. Why?" He asked looking at his brother. He sat up when he saw that Rayne was pretty out of it, and he hadn't been a moment ago.

"Do me a favor and go check on her please because I just got pulled into a trance where she wasn't in a very good state I would go myself but I don't think I could get up" he said to Roman.

"Sure." Roman said getting up. "I'll be right back."

He got up and went to the door, looking back at Rayne once shaking his head a little, before going on to his parent's room. He didn't think anything was wrong with Audrey, but his brother would go mad if he didn't check on her.

Something caught his eye on the floor. He bent down on one knee examine it Blood. He saw there was a trail of blood leading back to the living area of those who worked here. 'Damn her!' He thought to himself. He should have given her some of his own blood to appease her. He figured he better head on back and see who her latest victim was.

Her door was a little ajar when he got there. He pushed it open more, and saw red when he saw who she had. She had Audrey pinned up against the wall kissing her. He could tell Audrey was under her spell. He saw the gash on the vamps leg where she must of cut it, and was definitely needing blood.

"Damn it Collette. If you needed blood all you had to do was ask." He said advancing on the girls.

If it had been any girl besides Audrey he would probably be turned on by now, but as it was he was just plain pissed.

Collette growled at him, and went to sink her teeth into Audrey's neck. He caught her spinning her around and glared at her.

"Don't tell me she's another one of you're damn covenant!"

"Actually she belongs to a brother covenant, but the fact is she is carrying Downing blood in her. She's carrying my brother's children. You're not getting her." He said pushing Collette away from him.

"I need the blood though." She told him.

An intriguing thought suddenly came to him. "Colin is laying out in the west hall out cold. Go get some of Machen's blood."

He knew she hated Colin also, and she didn't' hesitate. He sighed and went to Audrey. She was staring into space, and he picked her up in his arms and carried her back to Rayne's room. He used opening the door, and then laid her down on the bed, and covering her up with a blanket, before depositing himself in the chair by the bed once again.

"She'll be fine little brother. She's under a vamp's spell. She'll come out of it though in no time at all, not remembering a thing." He told Rayne.

As soon as Roman came in with Audrey, Rayne went crazy he was pissed.

"What the hell happened?!" he asked roman and Roman told him about the vampire thing.

"She better be okay or that vampire is gonna die...again!" he seethed. Then leaned over to her and brushed away the stray strands of hair on her face.

"Hmm talking about my ex that way." He grinned at Rayne. "Though as much time as I spend saving her victims from her and giving her my own blood to keep her away from others, I may help you."

He picked up his book he had laying on the table to start reading again on the next chapter.

"Oh God you just had to be the one to have a psychopathic ex that's a vampire nobody else does that." he grinned back at Roman.

Raven opened her eyes. She saw that Ridge was asleep in an easy chair not too far from the bed, and she could tell by Rade's breathing he was asleep. She was restless, so she used to get out from under Rade's arm, and got up thinking she'd take a walk. She felt like being alone for awhile. She walked out into the hallway, and strolled down it.

'I can't believe Tyler is dead.' She thought to herself, wiping away a stray tear.

She turned a corner, and froze in shock at what she saw. A girl was leaning over some boy drinking his blood. Her stomach erupted seeing and smelling the blood. When she looked back up the vampire was looking right at her. Raven's eyes went black to block the girl from putting her under her spell.

"You're new here. I suppose you know Roman?" The vamp asked with blood dripping down her chin.

"Unfortunately he's my brother." Raven told her.

"What is he having a family reunion or something because you're sure not dead." The vamp said.

"If I had my way I wouldn't have been reunited with Roman." Raven answered.

"Well well well look what we have here." Someone said behind the vamp. "Hello Collette."

Raven froze hearing the voice. Chase Collins. Their eyes met both noticing each other in the hallway.

"And the day gets even better!" Chase laughed. "Look what we have here Adam. Raven Downing in the flesh."

Raven trembled as Adam came into view, and he grinned at her.

"Is Tyler here also?" Adam asked looking around.

"No...he's...dead." Raven told him trembling in fear, and starting to back away.

Chase was beside her in an instant, and had her pinned up against the wall.

"Why don't we find a vacant room and finish up what we started a few months ago." Chase said grinning evilly kissing her roughly.

"Well of course little brother." Roman grinned at Rayne. "Vamps are seductive, very seductive. Coll..."

He was interrupted by screaming out in the hallway.

Just when Roman was about to tell Rayne about Collette they were interrupted by screaming out in the hallway.

"That sounds like Raven screaming" Rayne said to Roman and bolted out of bed apparently he forgot all about the pain at this time. As soon as he reached the hall sure enough he saw Raven backed into a wall with Chase Collins kissing her, he sent a blast of power so strong it sent Chase way down the hall and he went over to Raven and hugged her.

"Go get Chase, Roman, he looks like he hasn't changed at all" Rayne spat.

Raven suddenly pushed Rayne away at the same time as the baby protected her knocking him back into the wall.

Roman who was already halfway down the hall to Chase turned around, and saw Rayne land on the ground. He looked at Raven as Rade and Ridge ran up.

Raven sent power at Roman knocking him backwards a few feet.

"What the hell are you doing Raven?" Ridge asked.

Raven turned toward him. Her eyes we're a dark red instead of black.

"Stay away from me." She told them walking down the hall to Chase. "Are you all right Chase?"

Chase got up grinning at her brothers, and put an arm around her. "I sure am baby."

Adam's laughter rang down the hallway as he watched the show.

"What the hell kind of place is this? This is not a sanctuary because then there wouldn't be people like Chase around home must be safer than this!" Rayne yelled at Ridge accidentally causing another minor earthquake in his rage.

"It is a sanctuary. The wards we're weakened though when Raven's baby took her out of here and back, and even more when you ascended. This isn't normal. Chase would never normally be welcomed here nor Adam Archer either."

He vaguely wondered where the Archers had went then remembered they had went back to see their parents again. Downings he corrected himself.

"Raven." He said walking toward her and Chase. "This isn't you. Tyler's the one you're in love with not Chase Collins!"

"Who's Tyler?" She asked as she sent a blast of power at Ridge knocking him into Roman.

Ridge heard Chase chuckle.

"She's all mine now boys." He leaned over kissing her. "Nothing you can do now!"

A power came out of Raven knocking him away from her. Chase frowned seeing Raven was still under his power though.

"You really are crazy if you think we're gonna watch you take our sister from us I rather Simms than you any day!" Rayne spat at Chase and sent a ball of power towards Adam.

"You might think she's all yours but the baby doesn't think so" Rayne snickered seeing Chase fly back from Raven.

Rade watched his twin under the spell of Chase Collins pissed. He knew the baby wouldn't hurt him, so when she turned to Chase he grabbed her arm pulling her up against him, and tried the only thing he could think of.

'She's under a spell. She needs Tyler if he's still alive take her to him.' He projected to the baby.

He stepped back right before she disappeared.

He didn't see the blast of power that Chase sent at him, before he fell unconscious to the floor.

Rayne saw Rade falling to the ground right after Raven disappeared and barely put up a shield in time to break his fall.

At the same time he saw Audrey poke her head out of his room door, he knew right now she really shouldn't be around so he projected to her.

'Audrey go back inside now! This place isn't safe right now I'll explain everything to you later.' he told her.

"Another day Downings." Chase said. "We'll be back in more ways than one."

He disappeared as did Adam.

"Fuck!" Roman said hitting the wall. "What did he do with Raven?"

Ridge went over to Rade, and healed him. "I don't think Chase did anything with Raven I think Rade did."

Roman stared at his brother in disbelief. Rade wouldn't do anything to jeopardize his twin. "There's no way Ridge. Rade wouldn't do anything to Raven to hurt her."

"Roman you're right Rade wouldn't do anything to hurt Raven but he would do everything to protect her and so would that baby as far as I can see" Rayne said to Roman.

Rade sat up straight as he came to.

"Did it work?" He asked almost falling back to the floor.

Ridge caught him supporting his back.

"Did what work?" Ridge asked warily.

"I projected to the baby telling it, if Tyler was still alive to take her to him, cause only Tyler will be able to take that spell off." Rade said flinching as he moved again.

Ridge finished healing Rade. "Hold still you're arm is broke."

Rade cried out in pain as Ridge healed the bone.

"For God's sake when is all this going to be over it's like a horrible nightmare that you can't wake up from and it just gets worse with time" Rayne moaned then slid down the wall behind him and cradled his head with his hands.

Rade looked at Rayne then noticed the girl behind him drinking blood from some boy. She looked up at him with blood dripping from her chin and smiled at him. He felt weird all of a sudden, like he was being drawn to her.

Roman looked up and glared at Collette before moving to stand in front of Rade.

"Stop it Collette! He's my baby brother."

"He's cute though." She said.

Roman was really getting pissed at her now. She suddenly started coughing and gagging on the blood she had drained from Colin. She clutched at her throat. She fell dead then to the floor.

Roman hurried over to her. He looked from her to Colin, and realized what Machen's son was. Machen had to be one also. He shivered in fear. He suddenly wondered what this place really was. He looked over to Ridge who was watching him.

"Colin is a silver knight." He told his brothers.

"What the hell is a silver knight? And how can it kill a dead vampire this place is getting weirder by the second" he said to Ridge and Roman getting off the floor and going over to them.

Ridge shivered a little trying not to show his fear to his younger brothers.

"A silver knight is a witch hunter who has died. Or a Vamp hunter for that matter. Once they pass over they get powers for killing those that kill for fun. They can kill easily in the afterlife even the dead."

He held Rade tight against him looking over at Colin. "We've got to warn dad."

He got up pulling Rade with him. He looked at Roman. A movement started them, and they turned around and Colin was gone.

"Shit!" Roman muttered. "Let's get the hell out of here."

"This place is no sanctuary is it?" Rayne questioned his brothers shaking his head.

"Wait up a minute I gotta go get Audrey she probably wants to kill me for having her locked up in my room for so long" he sighed and went to get her.

Ridge, Roman and Rade waited on Rayne to return with Audrey, when suddenly Raven reappeared sobbing.

Ridge rushed to her side. "Are you all right Raven?"

"Tyler's alive!" She sobbed. "I want to go home!"

Ridge held her in his arms. "I wish we all could baby."

When Rayne returned with Audrey they saw Ridge holding a hysterically sobbing raven.

"What happened?" Rayne asked since he was completely clueless "is Tyler still alive?" he asked.

"Yes he's alive." Ridge sighed picking his sister up, and starting down the hallway. "Let's get back to mom and dad's room. They need to be warned."

He hurried down the hallways, only to discover that Machen was having lunch with his parents. Fear ran through him looking at Machen.

'Don't say a word about what we know.' He projected to his brothers. 'Wait till he leaves!'

'But what if when we tell them they don't believe us Ridge I mean they seem to really trust this guy?' Rayne projected back to Ridge.

Ridge started to answer but there was a knock at the door. His father got up to answer it.

"Is Machen here?" A man asked.

"Yes." Jonathon said moving to the site as Machen joined him at his side.

"What is it?" Machen said.

"There's a few cracks in the dome from those last two earthquakes or whatever we had. We're not for sure how long their going to last. We need to transfer these people elsewhere." The man said.

"Nonsense, that dome will hold." Machen said. "How we had earthquakes here though is beyond me. I wonder Jon if any of you're boys had anything to do with it. Since they've been here it has been quite chaotic."

Jonathon took offense at Machen's words. "It wasn't any of my sons."

Though when Machen looked away, Jonathon shot a look at Rayne knowingly.

"Well I must be off. Thanks for the wonder lunch as usual Merry." He said winking at her which irritated Jonathon to no end.

He waited till the door closed behind Machen and he felt his presence go down the hallway, and then he turned to his sons.

"What is going on?" He asked them.

"Machen is a Silver Knight father. Colin is one also. He just killed Collette." Roman answered.

Jonathon looked to Ridge for a confirmation, and Ridge nodded at him from where he sat in a chair still holding his sister.

"We've got to get everyone out of here before that dome breaks." Jonathon said. "Couldn't you control you're anger Rayne?"

"Sorry dad I didn't even know I was using until Roman told me on both occasions when it happened besides you know I have severe temper problems that I can't control." Rayne apologized to his father.

Rayne then looked over to Audrey when her grip on his hand suddenly loosened, her eyes looked glazed over and she looked way out of it "Hey Aud are you okay?" he asked her but as soon as the words left his mouth she fainted falling to the floor.

Ridge got up and motioned for Rade to sit, and when he did handed Raven to him.

"I need to go find someone dad." Ridge said.

"This is not the time for you to be running off by yourself Ridge." Jonathon told his son.

"I've got to find her and warn her dad." Ridge said.

"Tabitha?" Jonathon asked. "She's Machen's daughter Ridge. You really think she is going to go against her father?"

"She's not his daughter!" Ridge hissed. "He killed her parents when she was three and brought her here. His real daughter is on earth taking Tabitha's place. Only thing is the one on earth really thinks she is Tabitha. He took some of Tab's memories and placed them in the one on earth. The one down there has no idea she's really Machen's daughter. And word is she is in Ipswich!"

Jonathon frowned. A silver knight on earth was not good at all. He looked over to Rayne whose girlfriend had fainted.

"Put her on the bed Rayne. Vincent should be waking up soon. I gave him an antidote for whatever Collette gave him." Meredith said though her eyes we're on her daughter.

Ridge took the time to sneak out the door. Roman saw him leave.

"I'll go with him dad." Roman told his father when he noticed Ridge was gone.

Rayne laid Audrey down in the bed next to Vincent and then looked to his mother.

"What am I supposed to do mom I'm willingly going to take my responsibility as a parent but I don't know the first thing about being a parent, I'm scared and I know Audrey is, First off Rowan is going to give me a serious blow-off when he finds out and then when Audrey's parents and siblings find out they're most likely going to kill me" he said to his mother with tears in his eyes but quickly wiped them away.

Meredith sighed looking at her son. He was too young to be starting a family, but nothing she could do about it now. "Take it like a man, and stick by Audrey's side. Rowan is you're guardian now, so he has a right to say what he thinks on the subject. You'll learn to be a father as time goes. It will come naturally, don't worry about it! You look ready to drop Rayne. Go sit down."

"Marcus could you go get Corinne, Jade and Riley, and tell them they need to come to our room now." She asked Marcus who nodded and got up to go get them checking on Vincent before he did though.

'Sloan.' Jonathon projected to his brother.

'What is it Jon?' Sloan answered.

'You need to bring you're family to our room now. We've got trouble!'

'On our way big brother.' Sloan said.

Raven sat on Rade's lap wrapped in his arms thinking of kissing Tyler. How had she got to earth, and woke up with Tyler on top of her kissing her, when the last she remembered was Chase kissing her. She was happy Tyler was still alive, but being ripped out of his arms and back here was horrifying. She wanted to go home where she actually felt safe.

Rayne listened to what his mother said and guessed well there was nothing he could do about it so she was right.

He looked to his younger siblings and felt his heart shatter he'd never seen his sister so broken before and he knew Rade would never leave her side if given the choice and eventually sat down.

'I wonder how things are going back home better yet I wonder what Archer's planning.' he thought to himself and waited for Marcus to come back with Corinne, Jade and Riley and wondered when he would see Sloan, Matt and Michael he was dying to talk to Michael and Marcus but things were too complicated right now.

Raven looked up when the door opened. Marcus walked in carrying Riley and Jade and Corinne were with him. Riley scrambled out of his arms and ran to Raven.

"Ravie!" She squealed holding out her arms to Raven to pick her up.

Raven felt a little something come to life in her again as she leaned forward and picked Riley up in her arms, hugging her before Riley settled down on her lap.

Rade smiled a little. "Just what I've always wanted two girls sitting on my lap."

Raven gave her twin a little grin, while Riley laughed.

The door opened again and Raven looked up to see Sloan, Matthew, and Michael walk in with some man and their mother. Their mother was holding hands with the man, and he looked an awful lot like the three boys together. She realized who it was suddenly from pictures in the photo albums.

The door opened yet again, and Ridge and Roman walked in with the girl that Raven had seen in the parking lot last week at school that had gestured that she was going to kill her. She gasped looking at the blonde.

Rade looked up at his sister who had gone pale again and looked to see what she was looking at. She was looking at the girl that had just walked in with Ridge and Roman.

Rayne sat up when the door opened and Marcus walked in with Riley, Corinne and Jade he watched as Riley ran over to Raven and chuckled when he heard Rade's comment. Then the door opened a second time he looked up and saw a man walk in with Sloan, Matthew , Michael and their mother when he looked closely at the man he remembered him as his uncle Sloan.

"What's up Michael where have you been" Rayne asked his friend.

"With my family. It's weird you know, meeting my dad, and he's dead, and so is mom now." Michael said sitting down beside Rayne, and glancing at Raven, and noticing her looking at someone in shock. He looked at the blonde by the door with Ridge and Roman.

"Yea I guess it would be weird" Rayne said to Michael then noticed his friend staring at the blond girl with Ridge and Roman then he noticed his sister looking at the girl also the only difference was that Raven looked scared of the girl.

"Who's she?" Rayne asked his brothers who brought the girl with them.

"My name is Tabitha Brewer." Tabitha stated. She looked at the young girl who was staring at her as if terrified. "Have you seen me on earth?"

Raven nodded trembling.

"So that means she is in Ipswich Ridge. The rest of you're family is in danger, as are my brothers.

"You related to James?" Rade asked.

"I think so, it's hard to remember, I was only three when Machen killed my parents and took me. I should have three brothers if memory serves correctly." She told them then looked back at the girl. "You have nothing to fear me darling, I won't hurt you. I'm a witch also."

"Wait then that means you're the sister that James told me about but if they see the other girl that looks like you in Ipswich then they might wanna take her as their sister" Rayne said to the girl.

Tabitha felt a tingle of fear run through her. The other girl had been sent to earth to kill witches. Supposedly to have been raised by witch hunters and a hunter herself now. Ridge's arm went around her and she melted into his side thankful for the comfort.

"Probably." She said. "I need to find a way down to earth to warn them."

Ridge, Roman, and Rafe looked at Raven knowing she was the only way to communicate with earth at the moment and that was only through Tyler. It was dangerous though, and each time the baby took her through the wards, a piece of this place died.

"Well Raven can travel to earth from here the baby can pass through the wards" Rayne said to Tabitha oblivious to the fact that his brothers wanted to kill him at the moment.

Roman swatted the back of his little brother's head, annoyed when he brought up about Raven. Rade's eyes turned black sending a shockwave at his older brother. Ridge frowned at him.

Tabitha looked at them wondering who Raven was, and why the others we're hurting the other boy.

Roman hit the back of Rayne's head twice more just cause he could.

"AW! What was that for?" Rayne asked Roman when he tapped him the first time.

When Rade sent the shockwave at him he tensed realizing what he did.

"Fuck! I shouldn't have said that should I?" Rayne asked but all he got was two extra taps from Roman.

"Stop with the damn tapping would you my head is already killing me" he whined to Roman.

Raven didn't say anything secretly she wanted to do it just to be held in Tyler's arms again. She watched her brothers torture Rayne.

"Should have thought about that before little brother!" Roman said tapping him on his head again grinning.

"I'll do it!" Raven said all of a sudden.

"For God's sake Roman stop tapping me I'm already a little slow do you really want me to go totally off, besides look Raven said she would do it" Rayne frowned, folded his arms and pouted for the extra effect.

"Besides it won't cause any damage because that Machen guy already wants the people to evacuate so therefore she can do it and just warn Tabitha's brothers then come back real quick" he then said to Ridge.

Ridge glared at his younger brother.

"It's not as easy as all that. Every time that baby takes Raven through the wards, they weaken. You sure weren't listening were you! Machen plans on ignoring this. He has no plans to evacuate anyone!" Ridge said.

He looked at Raven. "You don't have to do this Rave! You'll only be putting yourself in danger by doing it." He glanced at Tabitha who nodded her agreement.

"I want to do it!" She said wanting to see Tyler so bad it hurt.

A knock at the door interrupted them.
