Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the characters Piper, Lily, Sophia, and Eden and various other characters you have not come into contact before, if you have then I wonder whether you enjoyed the confusion of my mind because as far as I know that's the only place they have existed. As for the other characters such as the hot Sons of Ipswich that you have come to know and love they are owned by the brilliant minds of J.S. Cardone, and Sony Pictures.

Chapter 3

Candy

I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Trying to make myself a sail
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
With the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a helpless one at best

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
Before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart

Oh, and i'm often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although i'm left defeated
It gets held against my name
i know you got plenty to offer baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
well i'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
before i go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
i know that there're writings on the wall
But darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart

Oh, and I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, then I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you
Oh, then I'll be there waiting on you
I'll be there waiting for you
I'll be there waiting for you

"So what's the deal with those girls?" asked Sarah as she and Kate sat in their dorm room eating popcorn, "Why did you have such a problem with them?"

"They think they own the school!" scoffed Kate, "They used to go here a few years ago, and have grown up with the guys. The four of them are cousins and all lost their parents or something like that so they've lived with their Grandmother most of their lives. And their family is one of the oldest and richest in Ipswich. They act like that makes them instantly popular. " Her face was scrunched up into an angry scowl. Sarah refrained from explaining to Kate that with credentials like that of course they were instantly popular in a school like Spencer's.

"Jeez Kate that's a little harsh…" commented Sarah, shooting a worried glance toward Kate, "they didn't seem to act like that when we met them earlier."

"Yeah well you didn't meet the last one…I hate her." Kate spat viciously. At Sarah's puzzled look she explained in a bitter voice, "Piper Carlisle was Pogue's girlfriend before the Carlisles' left. Before dating they were like best friends or some crap like that. They were so inseparable that is was gross. Pogue was devastated when she left so suddenly. He was lucky I was there to pick up the pieces. She was a whore anyway." Her snobby tone of confidence threw Sarah off; she wasn't used to Kate being so viciously nasty to someone.

"I hope Pogue and Piper are alright," Eden said softly. The six of them were sitting around Caleb's living room as the night waned on. After Pogue had left them a short while ago the collective group decided it would be better to move to the Danvers manor for much warmer catch up. Empty glasses sat abandoned on the coffee table along with empty plates of snacks. While Tyler and Eden were sprawled on the large leather couch, Sophie sat curled in the armchair, Caleb and Lily lay on the floor and Reid was busy hogging the loveseat.

"I'm pretty sure Pogue knew exactly where to find Piper," Caleb said assuredly, "Remember all those times we could never find them, Pogue once told me there was a small lake back in the woods, which only they knew about. I'm sure that's where they are."

"I hope you're right," said Lily worriedly. She didn't like how long she'd been away from Piper. Piper was her best friend, more than that she was her sister. When Piper had first gotten sick Lily had become her unspoken protector. Her job had become to watch out for Piper at all times and now that Piper was getting better it was hard for Lily to be anything else.

Suddenly Caleb's phone went off signaling he had a new text message. Everyone glanced down at it as if on cue. Caleb leaned over to answer it. After taking a glance at the message he said, "Pogue found Piper…they're going over Pogue's for the night."

The girls all seemed to let out a breath of relief. Lily snatched the phone away from Caleb to make sure of that was all the text said. She too looked relieved when she was reassured that Piper was alright.

"Uh-oh…They better hope Kate doesn't find out." Sophie muttered in a mischievous tone. It was a well known fact that Sophie loathed Kate and had done so since the day she met her. She didn't like her bitchiness and she most certainly didn't approve of her tendency to flirt with guys who weren't her boyfriend. Reid laughed wholeheartedly agreeing, "Hell yeah, you know Kate hates Piper's guts right? And now that you guys are back she's gonna flip shit anytime she sees them near each other."

"Yeah well it's not our fault she's a crazy possessive bitch. She's a flirt anyway, explain to me why Pogue dates her?" asked Lily. She turned to Caleb for an explanation. He sighed wearily, "I don't really know why he dates her; I guess he saw her as the furthest thing from Piper he could go for. Don't get me wrong we've all gotten to like Kate but I mean Pogue deeply cares for her yes but I don't know if he truly loves her, he's not told her about the covenant and they've been dating for almost two years, not like I've told Sarah."

"You've told Sarah?" asked Lily giving Caleb a surprised look. Only Sophie and Eden were able to detect the subtle hurt tone in her voice. Caleb shifted uncomfortably beside her, "She kind of found out on her own… besides that was back when I ascended and we found out the fifth line hadn't died out." His expression darkened at the thought of Chase. The girls suddenly paled and sat up alert with the shock.

"No shit! The fifth bloodline?" Sophie exclaimed, her eyes were wide with surprise. Reid shot her an unusually somber look. Quietly he said, "Chase is the reason Pogue's leg is broken. You should have seen him a few weeks ago… he was in intensive care at Gloucester for two weeks."

"Oh wow," murmured Lily, "Well is he gone? Did you take care of Chase?" She glanced imploringly at Caleb who in turn averted his eyes away from her, "We fought the night of my ascension, there was a huge fire and we thought he had been killed in the flames but the body was never found. So we really don't know." Lily could tell by the sound of his voice that Caleb was disappointed in himself. Instinctively she rubbed his shoulder in comfort.

"Well if the son of a bitch ever shows his ugly face again, we'll be ready for him," said Tyler suddenly, surprising the others with his outburst. Eden placed a calming touch on his knee, instantly cooling Tyler's rare temper. She said in suggestion, "I think it's time we go to bed…it's almost one and I can feel that everyone is feeling more than exhausted."

"I totally agree…I'm wiped out," Reid complained, "all this talking and reminiscing shit does stuff to your head." He got up, stretched then proceeded to lift Sophie out of the armchair and bodily carry her barbarian style to the stairs.

"Put me down you jerk!" She yelled as she beat on Reid's back with her fists. The others laughed as they all moved to join them on their way upstairs. It was easy for everyone to just stay at Caleb's for the night. The boys all had rooms at the Danvers' mansion due to the numerous sleepovers they had had in the past and the girls also shared two rooms that had not been touched since they left.

"Reid you realize the moment you put her down Soph's gonna claw your eyes out, right?" Eden teased lightly. Reid smirked as he retorted back, "Nah I'll just throw her in your room and run out before she can get to me."

Eden chuckled as she hung onto Tyler's hand tiredly climbing the stairs beside him. Yawning loudly she nearly stumbled but Tyler was there to catch her, "C'mon sleepyhead, let's get you to bed." She nodded absent mindedly as he bent down to give her a piggyback ride. She gratefully snuggled her face into his neck the moment she was on his back. The two of them acted as though they had always been together. That they hadn't spent a moment apart. Lily found it adorable, the way Tyler treated Eden, but at the same time it worried her. Her eyes followed them as Tyler took Eden into the bedroom after Reid had jokingly tossed Sophie on the bed and ran down the hall.

"Whatcha thinking Lil?" Caleb murmured in her ear. Startled, Lily nearly jumped, causing Caleb to laugh. Lily swatted at him playfully but then grew serious as she explained, "The reason Piper became so sick was that she was away from Pogue. Their souls became attached and the separation made her violently ill. It does fulfill part of the prophecy: When strongest of the Carlisle four join with Ipswich as one; their love will break the curse, defeat a forgotten son. Gran always told us that we were the strongest generation to ever walk the earth, but we can not be the ones to fulfill the prophecy… I mean it just doesn't make sense! But seeing Tyler and Eden…everything just seems topsy turvy."

Caleb slung an arm around Lily's shoulders, "You're my best friend Lil. I'll never let you get lost. Besides you're the glue that keeps us all together. That's what we all love about you." He hugged her close and kissed the top of her head affectionately. Lily hugged him back tightly, "Thanks Cay… You've made me feel so much better." They'd reached the top of the stairs and Caleb turned to go to his own room, "I'll see you in the morning then. Mom said she's gonna make us breakfast."

"Okay, Night Caleb." Lily hugged him again before shuffling down the hall to the room she usually shared with Piper.

Eden couldn't sleep. Surprising so actually, considering how tired she had been earlier. She tossed and turned in bed, the feeling of anxiety and her own thoughts keeping her awake. Finally, after much internal debate Eden rose from bed as quietly as possible and made her way down the hall to Tyler's room. Opening the door a crack she slid inside and nimbly climbed into the large bed with Ty. He didn't stir as she snuggled close to him instead he automatically wrapped an arm around her, pulling her even closer. She suddenly felt calm, just being close to Tyler helped ease her worries and anxiety.

"You okay babe?" Tyler mumbled into her hair. Startled, Eden swiveled to face Tyler. Tyler had one eye open and a smirk plastered on his face at Eden's surprised expression.

"I didn't think you were awake!" exclaimed Eden. She giggled slightly as he brushed away a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her eyes. The intense look Tyler was giving her sent shivers down her spine. Her heart beat rapidly, her breath catching with every passing moment. Tyler's thumb brushed over her cheeks then slipped down to caress her lips. His own breath seemed to be getting heavier and Eden was almost positive the two of them had inched closer to one another.

"Edie…I…" Tyler began but Eden kissed him instead. Softly, like the touch of silk or perhaps feathers. Tyler could tell by the way she had lightly pressed her lips against his that Eden had very little experience with this. It made him feel special, that she had bestowed such an innocent gift upon him. He cupped her face as the two of them began to kiss fervently. Eden smelled of mangos and coconuts…and tropical flowers. It reminded him of the Caribbean. Tyler gently pulled Eden on top so that she straddled him as they continued to make out.

"Eden, baby I can't stop thinking of you," Tyler breathed as he trailed kisses down her jaw line and neck. His hands tangled into her tousled locks as she ran her fingers through his hair. Her breathing had turned to panting. She spoke softly, her words intoxicating him as the room got hotter, "I feel like I need to be close to you Ty, like I'd die with out. I dunno what it is but it hurts to think of not being with you." She kissed his forehead, his cheeks, his nose, his lips, anywhere she could. They rolled as one, leaving Tyler on top. They continued their passionate kissing until Eden suddenly froze.

"Babe what's wrong?" Tyler asked tracing her jaw line with his finger. Eden looked visibly shaken as she sat up in bed. He turned the bedside lamp on.

"Tyler, I think our souls have attached…like Piper's did to Pogue," She sounded worried, "I mean I've really liked you since…well since forever, but this absolute need to be near you…I've never felt that before."

"You're right!" exclaimed as he too sat up, "I mean I've felt the same way about you," he blushed, "But the constant thinking about you and intense feelings…that's all new."

Eden looked extremely upset by this new turn of events but Tyler put his arm around her shoulders, pressing a kiss to her temple, "We'll figure it all out in the morning Baby Girl. How about for now we just go to sleep?"

Eden nodded silently. She slipped back down under the covers as Tyler switched off the lamp. He instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist, nuzzling his face into her hair, "Night Edie."

"Night Ty," murmured Eden. She slowly drifted off to sleep a smile on her face.
