Chapter 29: Yeah
Reid took her hand. He kissed her and she naturally closed her eyes. Then, her hand was on something. She broke the kiss to see where her hand was placed. She raised her eyebrows in awkwardness. "I just wanted you to know what you do to me," he said. "A simple hallmark card would have done it." He put his hand on top of hers and pressed on him. Browen's cheeks were reddening with an irregular breath. "What do you want a hand job or something?" Browen sarcastically remarked. Her eyes then shifted and something clicked in her head. "Garwin!" "Not a hand job, something a little better than that."
There was no longer space between them. Reid lifted her thigh and slid his hand under to her knee. She cupped his face and kissed him lustfully. He leaned himself into her and started to grind lightly. Browen wrapped one of her arms around his neck. Reid growled lowly. He rocked enough to make himself ready to climax. "Good show sweets, and to think that's only doing dry," he sharply said and walked into the bathroom. Browen was left against the wall, panting and amused.
Reid exited the bathroom and he heard Browen on the cell phone. "Okay, we'll be right over!" She hung up the phone. "They're awake, drowsy but awake." She smiled. "Good," Reid commented, "I'll just jump in the shower." "You know, I want to go home and shower, too." "How about we save some water and time?" Reid insinuated. The sexual tension was building up all right. "You know that's gonna to lead to other things." "Yeah I know, I figure you'd say that sweets." Reid reluctantly grab some clothes and put them on. They hopped into the car to Caleb's house.
Tyler, Teresa, and Alexandra all looked (probably felt) hung over. After settling down, Caleb sort of started a meeting. "First, we have to keep them on the 'down low' for a long while. They're extremely weak and we can't afford to have another encounter with Chase now. I don't know if we can keep resurrecting people. After they're better or we beat Chase, we'll do a memory spell on the whole town about erasing the deaths of them. Since there is less of us that can fight, we have to stall as much as possible." Reid naturally opposed the hiding and avoiding approach. He was about to open his mouth. "Don't say it, Reid. I know what you'll say. But how are we suppose to beat Chase with almost half of the covenant down?!"
They sat in silence in hopes of thinking of a resolution. Browen slipped through the Book of Damnation. (AN: Caleb entrusted her the book because she has better knowledge of the book, why?) Browen began to ramble, "Well we may not know how to beat him. But we know what's in his head. This isn't just a revenge grudge. This is about securing his future bloodline right?" They nodded and agreed. Browen continued, "So far he thinks Teresa and Al are dead. So, there's two of us left," pointing to Elliot and herself, "He feels more urgent and worried about completing his motive. That may be the leverage we need to gain control of the situation." "How's that leverage?" Tyler grumbled in bed.
"We can do a trick deal like exchange one of us girls for the safety of the rest. The girl can do this spell," she points to the page in the book. "What's that?" Pogue asked. "It's sort of reverse bloodline spell. It won't kill him. But it will strip him from his Power and his father's Power too. After that, well we can decide then his fate." "I feel a catch coming on," Teresa sensed. They all look back to Browen. "There is, in order to erase a bloodline, you need to have created a new bloodline." "How do you suppose we do that?" Alexandra questioned. Browen lightly started with, "Well Alex dear, when a man and woman love each other very much..." Browen attempted to lighten the mood a bit. Everyone's eyes widened with comprehension. "That's right, one of us has to get knocked up."
"We're only halfway into the school year. What would our parents think? What about college?" Teresa worried. "Well, those things won't matter if we're dead," Browen answered. "Who should it be?" Elliot wondered. "Well, it should be a strong bloodline, so, Teresa and Tyler and Al and Pogue are out because they are in weak status." "So that leaves Elliot and Caleb or..." Pogue couldn't imagine Reid and Browen having a child. "Yeah," Browen said, that was all she could respond with. "What?" Reid didn't get it. "It's either Caleb and Elliot or you and Browen, idiot," Pogue laughed, "In all fairness, Reid, I can't see you as a parent or have a little Reid Jr. causing havoc." "What's that suppose to mean?" "You can't be a parent, you're the least responsible," Caleb cut in. "Well, I'm not exactly in open arms of being a M.I.L.F. either," Elliot informed.
"Both couples are equally as strong, although Caleb has his father's Power, Reid almost took him out himself. The girls are even too," Tyler thought aloud. None of them wanted to be parents, but they knew they needed to do this, for the sake of the covenant. "Should we flip a coin, vote, or something else?" Tyler suggested. It was going to be a rough decision regardless. "Or what?! Musical chairs?! Fuckin' rocks, paper, scissors?! Tug of war?! Tic-tac-toe?! This isn't for a prize goldfish Baby Boy, a little more is at stake," Reid spat. Some of them continued to argue and some were silent.
