Chapter 5: Ideas

The next day Tatianna sat down beside Reid in the cafeteria before classes started, she slowly peeled the orange in front of her as she looked at Reid. His eyes had bags under them and were half open, his hair was messier than usual and his appearance disheveled but not in his usual way of appearing good-looking. No today he looked rough, he also jumped at the slightest thing like when Tatianna had placed her tray on the table.

"What's up with you today" she asked looking at him, she saw him look at her his eyes seemed darker than usual as he looked her over.

"Nothing, just family stuff" he replied to her, his tone told her that it was as far as he was discussing the matter.

"All right fine, anyways I am going to class I'll see you in calculus" Tatianna said as she finished her orange and her apple juice before leaving the cafeteria. Reid watched her go, and shook his head. Was it that noticeable that he was so on edge and worried since he felt the surge of someone using yesterday afternoon. Reid thought about yesterday, and how it at happened and what the conclusion was brought.

--Flashback---

Reid was laying on his bed in the dorms, getting ready to get some rest before heading to Nicky's. Getting comfortable he laid there staring at his TV zoning into the show, minutes had gone by and then he felt it. The air snapped with electricity, his body hair stood on end and his stomach churned. Someone was using, and it didn't feel like the power he felt when one of the guys was using it was more powerful but not dark or evil. In fact it felt very pure and sweet, it was addicting Reid loved the feeling he got from it. It was a rush, so exhilarating and it lasted a while before it suddenly stopped and the feelings left without a trace.

Hearing his phone ringing he picked it up and saw that it was Caleb "Hello"

"Reid, did you just use a lot" Caleb asked his tone on edge.

"No I didn't use, but I felt it. It was powerful Caleb" he exclaimed and then listened to Caleb tell him to meet him and the others at the colony house. Standing up he left the room and headed out to meet the others.

Sitting down on his stone seat around the fire he looked at the others, they were all clearly confused about what everyone had felt. They all discussed it and said it had felt the same, but none of them had said that could feel a rush from it or anything. All the other sons had felt was some using lots and that it wasn't a dark power. They didn't feel how pure it was or how good it felt like Reid had so he left it out of their conversation.

"So what do we do now?" Tyler asked, and looked towards Caleb who ran his fingers through his hair and down his face thinking deeply.

"There isn't much we can do, we don't know who it was or where the power was being used. So we're going to have to wait for someone to keep using, hopefully they aren't up to something. I don't want another incident like Chase happening" Caleb answered him, looking at each of the other sons. They all nodded before heading off deciding to not raise any alarm or let the girls know since nothing had happened yet.

--End Flashback—

The rest of the night all Reid could wonder was who it was, and if they were actually as pure as their power was conveying. He wondered if he knew the person or if they were watching his brothers and him without them knowing. He also wondered if they even knew of the brothers and there powers, it could be possible. Either way he was on edge, wondering what this meant and if it was just a passing by or a large scaled event. He got up and went off towards his class for the morning, sitting down beside Tyler who looked at Reid his appearance was much like Reid's.

Tatianna sat beside Sara as she entered the music room, Kate came in shortly after and sat down on the other side of Tatianna. They all talked while they waited for the final bells to ring, Tatianna looked at the clock and noticed they still had more than enough time before the bell rang or the teacher even came in so she decided to ask the girls if they knew why Reid was looking so different.

"Have you guys seen Reid today?" she asked looking at Sara and then Kate, while leaning back in her chair with her feet on her desk.

"No, well at least I haven't Pogue and I got into another fight this morning. So I haven't seen anyone, you know I really don't know how many more fights I can take with him." Kate replied looking slightly upset about the situation.

"Maybe it's time you start picking your battles. It's just a thought, but if he starts to get pissed off about something just tell him that you don't want to fight because it's just not worth it. I mean you guys have been dating for how long?" Tatianna replied to Kate who told her two years.

"Right, you've been dating for two years. I think maybe it's time that you two start communicating more, and don't but in and say that you do communicate because you obviously don't if you are fighting this much. You need to both calmly state what is on your mind instead of jumping the gun and little indiscretions" she then said while looking at Kate, she knew that what she said may have come off bitchy but someone needed to say it and she knew no one else would. It's not like she was worried about hurting Kate's feelings, because she knew she could handle it and wouldn't be hurt unlike everyone else.

"I suppose you're right, anyways Sara have you seen Reid today?" Kate then changed the topic back and looked at Sara who had just stayed silent through Tatianna's little spiel.

"Yeah, I did when I was leaving the cafeteria he was coming in. Looked like he was bothered by something." She explained, looking towards the classroom door.

"Exactly, now do you know why by any chance?" Tatianna asked her, in a rather bored tone.

"Why do you want to know little missy?" Kate questioned cheekily, while she looked at Tat and grinned like the Cheshire cat.

"No I haven't a clue why, and yeah why do you want to know" Sara responded.

Tatianna looked from Kate to Sara and rolled her eyes, "easy there tigers, I was just curious I mean it is Reid for him to look that… um well worried you know it's got to be something big" she smirked at them as they thought about her answer and seemed to understand what she was saying.

"Well I can ask Caleb and see what he says" Sara told her and Tatianna just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's not that big of a deal Sar, no need to involve the head honcho" Tat said and then snickered.

"Sorry for being late class, please quiet down. Today we are going to go over a few composers and then I will ask you to start a project on one of your favorite musical artists or if you prefer a composer that helped music to evolve. Also might I add that on this project should you choose your favorite musical artist I expect and in depth report on them as well as some of their songs, your feelings towards their place in music and I expect them to be at least something more than a garage band genre." The teacher walked in talking as soon as her foot entered the doorway. Tatianna and the others quickly snapped their attention to the teacher leaving the conversation alone.

It was lunch and Reid was currently sitting at the cafeteria table eating a burger when Tatianna came and sat down beside him pouting. He looked over at her and swallowed his food before taking a drink of his Pepsi.

"What's wrong with you muffin?" he asked her and then she looked over at him, her lips still pouting but her eyes gave away that she wasn't exactly fully sad.

"This cold air is killing me" she replied looking at him and he laughed.

"Well put some more clothes on, actually no don't do that. Just use me to warm you up" Reid said to her and she just shook her head and laughed.

"No, not like that Reid. I'm not cold, but this cold air is a bitch on my lungs oh and I think I am getting sick so can you tell me where the doctors are in this town" she explained, and he looked at her before taking another bite of his food and nodding his head.

"Okay, well I'm eating your fries" Tatianna declared and took the fries off of his tray and then added salt to them and ketchup.

She noticed he seemed less on edge but she still wanted to know, maybe he was just mad earlier and calmed down and will be able to talk about it. She looked over him; he had somewhat fixed his appearance probably on a spare or when he was skipping. His hair was not as messy, and he looked more awake and not as spooked out.

"So question," she said to him randomly, as the others chatted away at the table ignoring Reid and Tat's conversation as usual.

"Shoot, little lady" Reid replied while sneaking a fry back from her.

"Promise you'll answer me honestly" Tatianna asked him, and he then looked at her suspiciously as she stared away from him and at the fries in front of her while she picked through them and ate.

"Well yeah I'll answer you" he answered, and waited for her to ask him.

"What was up with you this morning, what had you so well freaked out." Tatianna looked at his as she finished asking him. Her eyes locked with his blue ones and she saw them slightly harden up as if she was still asking something touchy.

"It's nothing, I'm going for a smoke you coming?" he shrugged off the question and got up from the table while waiting for her to reply.

Tatianna nodded and got up following Reid out of the cafeteria and walking with him through the halls towards the doors. She looked at him and then shut her eyes before opening them again and looking forward.

"What do you mean it's nothing, if it was nothing you would just tell me." Tatianna then exclaimed when they made it outside she looked through her purse for her cigarettes while Reid lit one up.

"It's nothing Tatianna just drop it. I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night because of some family stuff alright that's all you need to know." He told her in a stern voice, 'it's not like I can just up and tell her well you see I'm a witch no wait… warlock? I don't know the exact definition but whatever I have powers and yesterday I felt someone using them that wasn't one of us and by us I mean the other sons and I…. She wouldn't believe me and definitely think I was lying if I told her that' Reid thought to himself as he continued smoking.

"Yeah sure whatever" she started " you know it's not nice lying to your best friend" she then finished and heard Reid snort and laugh.

"Are you kidding me, you don't tell anyone shit. All I know is your name, the music you listen to, how smart you are, and things you like to do-"

"And what is wrong with that?" Tatianna cut Reid off and he looked at her.

"Would you let me finish? I know all of that about you, but I don't know your middle name, where you've lived before, favorite childhood memories, things about what you used to do and about your family. I don't know anything passed the basics Tatianna, I know what everyone else knows but nothing other than that. So why is it any different if I don't tell you something when you don't tell me anything" he finished and said it very bluntly.

Staring at him Tatianna rolled her eyes, "you know what Reid, it's just better that I don't do that. Don't tell you little tid bits of my past or anything like that I'm not dragging you into something you'll eventually not want to be a part of" she finished saying and put out her cigarette before turning and walking away.

Reid just watched her walk away and shook his head, 'What does she mean by that?' he thought to himself 'why would I want to not have her in my life or be her friend. She's fun to hang out with and I don't see us ever having a problem so isn't it fair that I know about her.'

---Tatianna's POV----

'Stupid Reid, why must he always do that' I thought as I walked into my calculus class and waited for Reid to show up hopefully he would start backing off or I'm going to just have to stop hanging out with him so much and kind of break the ties. He's probably already a weakness and I cannot have that, I just can't.

Here he comes, please don't say anything Reid just don't. He sat down beside me and set his head on the table waiting for the teacher to enter, just as he normally did. 'Good he isn't going to ask any questions I can relax'.

I truly don't like calculus but I am good at it, much like my other subjects so my parents thought why not take it. It's the only class that I am taking that is for them, they said it would look good on applications if I had high marks and in good classes. I don't really care honestly, I probably won't make it to college so what's the big deal. They normally give me shit for saying that but it is a possibility I mean if I don't get some things figured out in my life poof my powers may be gone. Stupid prophecies, you know someone should really outlaw those things. Or at least break them all I mean that would be nice.

Thinking more about what I saw yesterday I began to zone out in class, it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen in a vision. One must pay to fix the curse. What curse might I ask exactly? Two must discover their hidden connection. That just doesn't sound easy, and then back to one must control the addiction. Like is this maybe simple? Probably not, because no addiction is easy to control or get over if it was it wouldn't be called an addiction. It's stupid, how am I supposed to figure it out and why would I be shown that anyways. I just don't get it, how exactly am I involved I wish I could have seen more.

I continued to ponder all through class, not hearing a word my teacher said but still managing to write down the notes and not get picked on to answer any questions. It didn't get me anywhere though, I am still in the same place as I was when I started thinking about it, and I have no idea what to do about this stupid vision. I guess I can store it away in my head for another time. I suppose I can try again and see if I can get anything more. Yes that will help, that will help a lot.

The bell rang snapping me out of my reverie and I looked around Reid was slowly packing up his books before his spare, which I shared with him. I got up and looked towards him, he hadn't spoken much during the whole class, which wasn't necessarily bad because it meant that he wasn't going to pry.

"So what are we going to do today for our spare Mr. Garwin?" I asked and smiled at him, he looked over at me tiredly.

"I am going to have a nap, and get some rest before swim practice. So I guess you are on your own doll face" Reid said to me and I looked at him weirdly, that was a first usually when he went to have a nap he would offer me to come with him.

"Alright, well come to my house after swim practice." I told him and he nodded his head before leaving.

If I had a spare I was going to go to my house and see if I could find anything more out about this vision I had. I'll see if I can find anything in our library and also try to get more out of another vision. Quickly grabbing and dumping off any books I did or didn't need, and heading out the doors I left for my house.
