Chapter 7: Lily

Alyssa's POV:

So guess what Sky's reaction to all this was? Hysterical fits of laughter! What is wrong with her? Laughing??? LAUGHING?!?!

"Why are you laughing?" I asked, looking at her like she was crazy.

"Because..." she said in between laughs. "Caleb is- with Chase then, but he, and so- oh jeez." She stopped to laugh more. "And they didn't like using- and she was your friend- oh man." She wiped away the tears in her eyes that had formed because she was laughing so hard. "And in between all of this, I'm flirting with every guy in sight and you-" she took a few deep breaths but couldn't stop laughing. "And in the- in the middle of it all you- you're making out with Pogue every chance you get." She explained. "I know I know. It's not funny. It's just- I don't know…" she took more deep breaths before finally calming down.

I kept staring-glaring at her. "I do not make out with Pogue every chance I get…" I said quietly. She burst into laughter again. I just rolled my eyes and walked away.

About a week later, when Sky and I were just getting back from the store, we came home to find that our small apartment was completely trashed. We heard a loud thud and we ran to the bedroom. Alex had tackled some young girl to the floor and she was now whaling in pain.

She didn't seem to notice. I threw an energy ball at Alex, careful not to hit the girl. She tumbled backward and flew into the nightstand. The girl jumped up and took cover behind us. Alex jumped back up again. She was bleeding, but she quickly healed herself. She threw a WHD at us and it hit Sky. She flew back and hit the ground before quickly disappearing.

"What the fuck!" I screamed. "What did you do to her? Your stupid WHDs or whatever don't even do that! What did you do!?"

"Well I needed some way to make sure you did what I want. And I couldn't have taken your loving boyfriend. I need him too. So what do you say? You and your brother and all of your other little witch friends can meet me in the alleyway at Nicky's? What do you say? Well then, it's a date!" And then she poofed out.

It took me a while to gather all this information and for a moment I completely forgot about the girl. She was huddled up on the ground, obviously still frightened from the previous incident. I walked over to her.

"It's okay. It's okay." I said quietly. "What's your name?" I asked. She threw her arms around me.

"I- I- I'm Jayden. My mom is- is Lily."

Hearing her name again shocked me.

I welcomed her into the small kitchen and she sat down at the small table, still shaking.

"Are you hungry?" I asked. She nodded, still frightened.

I grabbed the Double Stuf Oreos from the top of the short fridge and poured her a glass of milk. I tasted an Oreo and smelled the milk. The Oreos were a bit stale, but it was hard to notice. The milk was still fresh, I was glad of that. I set the plate down in front of her and she quickly ate it all. She had finally stopped shaking. Her clothes were extremely torn up and her shirt looked like it was going to fall apart. I quickly ran into my room and ransacked all of the drawers. I didn't bother looking in Sky's. Her clothes wouldn't fit the young girl, and even if they would, I don't think Sky's clothes are, well, really appropriate for young girls. I grabbed a large T-shirt and looked for a pair of pants, until I realized that there was a pair of pants in the small closet that I had worn when I was at Spencer's when I was about 14. I pulled them out and walked back into the kitchen.

"Here." I set the clothes down on the table in front of her. "You're clothes are all torn up, so I thought you might want these." I said, trying to be as friendly as I could. She smiled and walked into the bedroom. She came out in a black shirt with silver and white skulls and a pair of regular light blue jeans. They were a bit old, but they weren't falling apart that badly. They fit her pretty well. They were a but big, but not enough to notice. She was also wearing a pair of fingerless gloves, which I added to the pile of clothes. I smiled. She looked a lot like me, even her hair. The only thing different was her shockingly blue eyes. Her mother didn't have blue eyes, did she? I don't think so, but I really can't remember. We sat down and I looked at her seriously.

"Jayden, do you know where your mother is? Or more importantly, Alex. Do you know where either of them are?"

She met my eyes with a cold stare. "No." she responded. 'No'. That was it. Just 'no'.

"Do you have any idea?" I asked again.

"I'm not five. No I have no idea." Jayden glared at me.

"Alright." I finally accepted her no, but I didn't know why she was so upset about it. I thought she was hiding something, but I didn't mention it.

I stood up and began to walk away.

"Wait!" she called out weakly. "I- I- know."

I turned around quickly.

"She- she took my mom." She said quietly.

This was when I realized something. "How can you be her daughter? You're what like 12? And she's only 21 or 22."

"I- I'm not actually her daughter. We- there was this- when she left- left Spencer's" she paused. All of her stuttering made it really difficult to understand her. "She had a- this power, which you obviously understand since you- you're- you have… yeah. Everyone in her family had a different power, and she had something or other. I think it was the ability to move things with her mind or something. She hated it, but it was a part of her. She never used it though. She never even mentioned it to anyone. Her parents had called her down to their house, and she ran into me. I fell on the ground, and she helped me up. She said- no- she- she thought something, and I heard her, her thoughts I mean. Then she noticed that I read her thoughts and she smiled. She said she knew about my power and she had it too. She asked me to come with her. Normally I wouldn't have gone, but I knew she had good intentions. I mean, duh, I knew, I could read her mind. So I went with her and she led me to this big house. There were people in it, I could hear them loudly, even though no one was saying anything. There were all wondering where Lily was. And there were no good intentions. She walked up to the door and she got really close to ringing the doorbell. I whispered for her not to, and she stared at me strangely. She asked why and I told her what I heard them think. She looked back and forth from me to the door, we were about to walk away, but the door opened quickly. Someone grabbed her arm and she was almost pulled in. Something whizzed by but I couldn't tell what it was, and it hit the guy who was holding her arm. We barely got away. After that she took care of me, and I just got in the habit of calling her mom." She explained. That was the longest explanation I had ever heard but I didn't say anything. And I didn't even find out where Alex was.

"Oh. I'm sorry." I said stupidly. I tried being sympathetic but it was always hard for me. "So you do know where they are?"

She hesitated. "I can read her mind. She'll probably be thinking about it." She closed her eyes. "She isn't thinking anything. But I can sense her. So she's not dead. She must be unconscious." She explained.

"Alright. I need to make a phone call." I said before walking out of the room to get my cell phone. I quickly called Reid. No answer. Pogue, no answer either. Caleb, no answer. I was afraid they had been captured too. I called Tyler. It was kind of weird. I was never that close with him, but we always had this mutual understanding. Sometimes I would say things that I knew he was thinking but he would never say, no matter how ridiculous it was. He would just looked at me like I was crazy and then smile. Ring, ring, ring.

"Hello?" Came a muffled voice. It was Tyler, but he sounded weird.

"Hi, Tyler?" I said.

"Alyssa?" He asked. He sneezed.

"Yeah, are you sick or something?" I asked.

"Yeah actually. It's just a cold though. I'm fine. What's up?"

"Well, it's actually a long story. I'm coming over okay? And- I'm bringing someone. Wait, where are you?" I asked.

"I'm actually at Caleb's manor. We were all going to meet down here and go to Nicky's, but I got a cold. I still wanted to see them though, so I came down anyway. Wait how are you going to get here? You're far away, you can't get here that quickly."

"I've done it before, remember? When Reid was in the hospital? I just appeared there. If it worked then it'll probably work now." I said.

"Alright, well call back if it doesn't work."

"Alright, bye." I said, and hung up. "Jayden!" I yelled. "Come here!"

She walked into the room. "Yeah?" she asked.

"Give me your hand. We gotta go. I grabbed her hand and thought hard about Caleb's manor. Nothing. I tried again. Nothing. I took a deep breath and focused harder than I ever had on anything. The room started to spin and soon enough, we were at Caleb's manor.

"Tyler!" I yelled, running up to him and hugging him. "Alex took Sky and Lily! She- it's too hard to explain! We need to get to Nicky's.

He laughed. "I would love to, Alyssa, but I'm sneezing my brains out. If only I knew someone who could heal me…"

I rolled my eyes and hovered my hands over his chest. He coughed a little bit and blew his nose, then hopped out of bed.

"Thanks, now lets go, and explain to me everything that happened on the way." We turned around, and I spotted Jayden standing awkwardly in the corner.

"Jayden, Tyler. Tyler, Jayden." I said quickly. I was never very good at introductions.

"Alright." We quickly left the manor and were on our way to Nicky's.

Well, this day has just been oodles upon oodles of fun, huh? Ugh. That bitch is gonna get it…
