Chapter 8:

Alyssa's POV:

After a while we were finally at Nicky's. I hopped out of the car and walked into the bar. I looked around and finally found Pogue and Reid over by the pool table. I started to walk over and was about to say something when Reid flipped some waitress's skirt up. I saw Pogue laugh and collect the money on the table. I coughed loudly. They both turned around, with a worried expression on their face. I glared at them and walked over.

"You guys are still playing that stupid game?" I asked angrily. "What is your problem?"

Reid coughed awkwardly and Pogue put his arm around my waist.

"Come on Alyssa, we were just kidding. We didn't-"

I cut him off. "Yeah, you didn't think I'd walk in at that exact moment? Funny how I can do that isn't it?"

"We were just kidding!" He said. He leaned in for a kiss but I turned away.

"Nope. You got enough ass tonight." I said, and went off to find Caleb. I heard Tyler laughing in the background. I finally found him and Sarah dancing. I motioned for him to come over. He nodded and kissed Sarah on the cheek before walking over to the table.

"What's up?" he asked.

"The girl." I said. "I know who she is. I wanted to tell you first before I told the rest of the guys. Well, I told Tyler but I made him promise not to tell the rest of the guys until I talked to you about it. You usually know exactly what to do. And Pogue and Reid were betting on underwear again, so I walked away."

"They're still playing that stupid game? Anyway, what do you know about the girl?" he asked.

"My old roommate from Spencer's, Alex, she's some sort of witch hunter. She's after us. Something about saving her father. My other roommate, Lily, she has some sort of power too. I don't know, it's kind of strange, us all having powers, and being roommates. But that's not the point. Anyway, Alex, she was fighting with some girl. She turned out to be Lily's daughter. Well not daughter, but like a daughter. She has a power too. Mind reading I think. So she was fighting and then- and she was- so the little girl-" I was beginning to lose my train of thought.

"Alright, we need to tell the guys, to make some sort of plan." He said calmly.

"Oh! And- it was- then she- she took Sky!" I said frantically. I tried to stay calm but all the words came out in a jumble.

"Sky?" he asked. I could sense a worried tone in his voice. "What happened? Is she alright?"

"Caleb, calm down. I don't know if she's all right. I haven't really had the chance to ask her. She's kind of not around."

He took a breath, and Sarah walked over. I got up and walked over to the pool table to get the boys, when I realized that Jayden was with them. She had a pool stick in her hand and she was laughing.

"What are you guys doing to this poor little girl? If I find out you were poisoning her mind, I swear!" I joked. "But really, Caleb needs you guys over there." I said, pointing to the table I was just sitting at. Tyler and Reid walked over with Jayden following close behind. We walked back over to the table and sat down on Pogue's lap. He smiled and put his arms around my waist. Caleb started repeating everything I told him and what his plans were. I have to admit I wasn't paying much attention. I looked at Pogue but he wasn't paying much attention either. I noticed Tyler, who looked like he wanted to say something, but Tyler, being Tyler, didn't say anything at all. Hmm… if only I knew what Caleb was talking about… ugh… here goes.

"Hey Caleb could you repeat that, I wasn't listening…" I asked.

He groaned and glared at me. "I said, we should wait and see what she does. She might let Lily and Sky go. Or ask for something as a ransom." He explained.

Now I knew what Tyler wanted to say. "What!? Caleb are you fucking kidding me!" I yelled, a little louder than I should have. I brought my voice down a bit. "Look, I know what she wants, and that's our power! She's a witch hunter! Did you hear that? A. Witch. Hunter. As in, you know, she hunts witches! Her entire family does, and unless she doesn't get our power, her dad is gonna die, and she's gonna hate us even more, and she took Lily and Sky to warn me that if I don't give her my power, or however you do that since she's a witch hunter, she's gonna kill and everyone else I love, so if we could just please attack and I think some people here agree with me." I said, all in one breath. I glanced over at Tyler and he smiled.

"Actually, I agree with Alyssa." Tyler commented, which was weird, because like I said a billion times before, he never says anything.

"Wait, what?" Caleb asked. "Look, I really think we need to play it safe for a while. We don't even know if what Alyssa says is true…"

"Are you calling me a liar?" I asked angrily.

"No, but what if the girl is lying? What if she found out about Alex and Lily and Sky and made all of this up?"

"Yeah, what if she possessed me and Jayden here is an evil robot sent here from Mars to destroy the planet? What if Caleb? But right now, this is what I know and this is what I'm sticking to. I need to attack. She told us to meet her in the alleyway at Nicky's when we were ready to give her our power. That might be a good place to start."

"Alyssa-"

I cut him off.

"Come on Caleb. I'm a big girl. I can do this."

He sighed. "Alright fine."

I looked up at him as if to say some sort of 'thanks.'

I looked around and headed for the door that led to the alleyway. The guys and Jayden, who had taken cover behind Reid, quickly followed. I walked through the door, and down into the center of the alleyway.

"Hello? Alex? Alex! I'm here!" I yelled.

Nothing.

"Alex!!! Come here! Now! You told me to meet you here! Come on!"

Nothing again.

I began walking for the door back into Nicky's when I heard someone behind me. I whipped around.

"Where are they? Where are Alex and Lily?" I said angrily.

"Oh is that what we're worried about? Our precious little friends? Well don't worry. I haven't harmed them. Yet!"

I tried waiting. Reasoning. Using the element of surprise. But no one threatens my friends. I threw an energy ball at her and she flew back. She stood up and brushed herself off. I threw another energy ball, and another. I used everything I could think of. She couldn't do anything. She didn't even have time to dodge them. I created the largest energy ball that I could and threw it at her. I noticed that a WHD had already left her hand. They collided in the air and the energy ball seemed to absorb the WHD. The WHD shook and the energy ball exploded sending bits and pieces of it everywhere. The background began to spin and for a second it felt like I stopped breathing. I hit the ground hard and stood up. I looked around, but it was pitch black. I tried to use my powers for light, but it didn't work. That's weird. I tried to form an energy ball, but that didn't work either. I quickly came to the conclusion that my powers didn't work. My eyes began to adjust to the darkness a bit, but all I could make out were some large rocks and a body. I ran over, wondering if it was Alex, but before I got there, the person jumped up and lightness began to flood the place. I saw Alex and a bunch of other people surrounding her. There were two unconscious bodies on the floor that I recognized as Lily and Sky. I tried running over to them, but Alex threw something at me and I fell to the ground. It wasn't a WHD. That would have knocked me out. I tried standing up but I couldn't move my legs. I tried moving my arms but that didn't work either. I even tried screaming for help, but nothing came out. Alex walked over and kicked me hard in the side. There was a sharp pain and I tried screaming but again nothing came out. I tried to cry but that didn't work. I tried to think of something, anything I could do, that could help me. My powers don't work, but I wonder if I can still transport myself. I thought as hard as I could, and I felt myself transport over to where Sky and Lily were. I stood up. I can move my legs again. The pain in my side was almost unbearable, but I had to get out of here. I bent down and put each of my hands on Sky and Lily's shoulder. The room started to spin, and just as we were leaving, Alex jumped towards us. She screamed and I heard a large thump. We stopped spinning and landed hard on the ground. I didn't have time to look where we were quite yet. I healed Lily and Sky and then quickly healed myself. I had no idea where we were. I think Alex messed up our transportation. We all stood up and Sky ran over and hugged me. Lily just stood the looking confused.

"Lily!" I yelled. "It's me Alyssa!" I said. A smile appeared across her face. She ran over and hugged me.

"Sky!" she yelled, and hugged her too. Her smile faded. "Jayden. Where's Jayden?"

"She's fine!" I assured her. She's with my brother and the guys. She let out a sigh of relief.

We wandered around for a while, trying to find out where we were. Lily screamed. I saw a small body lying on the ground. I turned it over. It was… Jayden? What? No! It couldn't be! She was safe! With the boys! I turned her over and tried healing her, but nothing worked. What happened? What did I do? Jayden! She can't be dead.

Reid POV:

"Jayden!" I said. "What's she thinking. And where is she?"

She concentrated hard. "I- I cant tell where she is. Sky and Lily are with them!"

"Sky?" Caleb interrupted. "She's alright?"

I gave Caleb a strange look, but he brushed it off.

"They're safe. They don't know where they are. They're trying to figure it out. They- they think I'm dead! They- they- she found my body and- THEY THINK I'M DEAD!" she wailed.

Tyler comforted her.

"Reid! Try communicating with Alyssa! Don't you have, like a brother-sister bond? Remember, from when she was 13?" Pogue explained

I nodded and thought hard.

Alyssa? Alyssa, are you there?

Reid is that you? Reid thank god! We were transporting somewhere and things got all messed up. We don't know where we are and Jayden, she- we found her- dead!

Alyssa it's okay! Jayden's fine! She's with us!

How do I know you're even Reid?

Are you fucking serious? Fine, You're Alyssa Garwin, brother of Reid Garwin, you wear fingerless gloves, you've had a crush on Pogue since you were 13, you're favorite kind of potato chips are salt and vinegar and you only eat double stuf oreos. You hate mayo and you're afraid of waterfalls and deep water.

Alright, I believe you. But if Jayden's with you, then why did we find her body on the ground?

I don't know. Maybe you're in some sort of alternate reality.

What do you mean? Is that even possible?

I think so. I read about it in the book of damnation. We looked through it and we found out some stuff about witch hunters. Apparently they can do things like that. In their alternate reality, you face you're worst fears. Many witches have gotten stuck there forever. Alyssa listen, you need to do this. You're strong enough. I know it. If you ever need help you know how to reach me.

Love you!

Love you too Alyssa.

I sure hope she's okay.
