Chapter Four-To the Dells

We all piled into Tyler's Hummer, I sat up front with him. It was about a twenty minute drive when we came to a stop in the middle of the woods.

"Ummm you brought us to the woods…?" I looked over at Tyler.

He smirked, "Nope this is just where we hide the cars, its close enough to run when the cops show but also hidden."

"Alrighty then, well you may have to help me walk…these show really not made for the woods." I opened the door and hopped out.

Tyler came over to me and grabbed onto his arm to keep my heels from sinking. We all walked out of the woods a few minutes later. In the clearing was a huge DJ stage, a mock dance floor and about 300 Ipswich teens with about 30 kegs. The music was blaring through the speakers, and there were a ton of people dancing, groping on the dance floor. As we walked up with the guys, I swear we got about a hundred death glares, I could almost smell the jealously in the air. Kate and Pogue met us on the dance floor. For a while we all stayed together, danced, talked and drank. But after a while we all kind broke off into couples.

Tyler grabbed my hand, and started leading me back to the woods, "Come on…" he smirked.

"Hold on…" I stopped and pulled off my heels, held them with one hand and grabbed his hand with the other. We went deeper and deeper into the woods to where I could even see the party anymore, but with vampire hearing I could still hear the music. "Tyler what are we…?" He silenced me with his lips crashing hard against mine. I dropped my shoes and stepped back until my back hit against a tree. I parted my lips allowing him to slip his tongue in and make the kiss deeper. He had one hand on my hip the other was tangled in my hair. My hands were underneath his shirt tracing every magnificent muscle with my fingers tips. We broke off the kiss and I started placing gentle kisses along his neck. He smelled amazing, just purely magic. Then it hit me, he smelt like actual magic, I had experienced a few spells before mostly used by the council of hunters, or wiccans I had met on travels. I pulled away from him, "Tyler…you're not human are you?"

He stepped back, "how…how… did you…?"

He looked absolutely petrified; I put my hands on his shoulders reassuringly. "No…no Tyler it's ok…" Suddenly I heard footsteps about twenty feet off heading straight towards. Based on the conversation they were having they were not friendly. "Tyler we have to hide!" He stood there staring at me. "Ty I will explain everything later we just need to hide somewhere…now."

He grabbed and pulled me into him, I watched as his eyes went completely back confirming what I was thinking. Suddenly we were up in one of the tallest trees sitting on a branch together; his arm was wrapped around my waist. I took this as a good sign, and then two hooded men appeared below the tree.

"So the sisters came here…did they really think we wouldn't follow him. Stupid Damphyr's…" Tyler looked at me I placed my finger against my lips, signaling silence.

"I do not know Alex, either way we will find them and finish what we started with their leader Sawyer. Still can't believe Brody let her get away, stupid newbie." A shiver went up my spine, as I started to flashback to my last encounter with these guys.

"Well William we can't attack while they are around humans so we will just have to wait…till their alone. We don't have many resources since we are rogue from the council."

"Right, well we will get our opportunity I'm sure of it…" They both nodded and disappeared back where they came from. Once I couldn't hear them anymore I hopped down from the tree landing gracefully on my feet.

Tyler used to come floating down, "I think you owe me an explanation…" He walked towards me.

"Ok, before I tell you…I just need to know that nothing is going to change between us. I know we just met last night but I really like you Tyler, and if this is going to change everything then it's a lot safer for you not to know."

He placed a gently kiss on my lips, "I like you too Sawyer, and I promise nothing will change, tell me what is going on." So I did I started with what my father truly was, and how he my mother. I explained exactly what Demi, Callie and I were and what powers we had. How we first came in contact with the council of hunters' and how this exact group we saw tonight was a rogue group that wanted to kill any magical being, including me and my sisters. I spared him from the gory details of when they got their hands on me. And how that had followed us to Ipswich after my sister almost lost control on a human.

"See that's one of the council's main rules is we aren't allowed to kill humans. My dad was killed by the council because he lost control and attacked a few high-schoolers and fed on them. He was a full vampire so it's a lot harder, with Damphyr's it's easier because we still have a human side that doesn't lust for blood. Anyway the guys you saw took me with them when they captured my father, after an investigation they discovered I hadn't hurt anymore and wanted to let me go. But not without a warning, in the form of beat the Damphyr…anyway the guy named Brody let me go after a few hours. The others asked him not to, they said no one would notice and they would just say I attacked them. Luckily for me he said rules were rules and let me go. Well in the last town Demi got into a situation where she almost lost control on a human. I knew we couldn't have her hurt someone and have the council find out so I moved us here. Obviously these dudes have gone even further away from the council and are now tracking us down."

By the time I finished we were sitting across from each other on the forest floor. "So what do you eat, if not humans?"

"Deer mostly, but pretty much anything you'd find out here. And we don't need to feed like everyday more twice a week, it just keeps our strength up…but I personally prefer a Big Mac."

He laughed, "So do you have fangs…?"

"Yep…" I let my fangs descend they made a popping sound as they came out fully.

"Wow…"

"Yeah the fangs we can make come out at anytime…we we fully vamp-out, lose control, our eyes do this weird thing. They like turn completely blood red, except for the pupil, which stays black so we can still see. I've never done it, but I saw Demi vamp-out before it was scary." I popped my fangs back up; they weren't the most comfortable things to talk with.

"Wow…this is all a lot…I mean it doesn't change that I really like you but I mean wow…"

"Yeah and I want to hear everything about you… and your magic. But I think we need to talk to all the others first."

"Right…" He nodded and we both started heading back to the party.

Tyler's phone started ringing when we reached the clearing. "Hello...Reid what slow down dude…what happened? Alright we will be there in five." He snapped the phone shut.

"What's going on?"

He started picking up the pace and I matched him easily. "Apparently your sister and Reid stole my hummer and went back to your house. Reid somehow cut himself on the doorway or something, your sister saw the blood and freaked out, he said her eyes changed and she sped into the bathroom and locked herself in there. Reid is freaking out but he doesn't want to leave her."

"." We both bolted into a run, I used my vamp speed to get the others fast. Luckily all the couples had met back up in a group far away from the crowd. I saw their hair blow black as I reached them. They all had confused looks on their faces, "No time to explain I need you guys to use to get us back to our house…now!"

"How…do…you…" Caleb started.

I held up my hand, "I'll explain everything after…Reid is in danger…" I looked at Callie. "From Demi…"

Callie mouth dropped, Tyler finally came running up. "Guys we have to, come on…" We all grabbed hands as, Pogue, Tyler, and Caleb's eyes all turned pitch black. I closed my eyes, as our party scenery started to disappear and was replaced by the lawn in front of our house. It took me a few seconds to get my footing, but then I went into leader mode.

"Ok, Pogue you need to stay out here with Kate…"

"What…why?"

I turned around, "Because she is human, she will attack her first!"

His mouth just dropped open, and then he nodded. "Ok Callie, Caleb, Tyler lets go…" We started towards the house, I was worried about the scene that would meet us.
