Chapter 10: Answers
Tatianna looked into the take out bag at the food she had gotten, a double cheeseburger and fries with orange pop. She looked over at Reid and saw him sipping on his coke, rolling her eyes at his boring drink she looked out the window. They were currently driving towards Reid's house; she hadn't gone there yet and was a bit anxious. Not only it being her first time there, but also because they were going to be discussing some serious matters soon. She listened to the music on the radio station before getting bored of it and grabbing Reid's ipod, she saw him look at her out of the corner of his eye and then continue driving. Scrolling through the music she found something better than what they had been listening to.
"How much longer?" she asked him as she adjusted the volume. She knew that Reid's family lived further out of town than the others, but that's about all she knew of his family and home. They had never discussed it, meanwhile Reid knew every room in her house and her parents extremely well.
"Ten more minutes" he replied and played with the straw of his drink. He was also nervous for the conversation they were about to have, he had never told anyone about the coven. Now he was going to tell someone, and in return he was going to learn about someone else with powers. But he was still somewhat excited he wouldn't lie about that.
Tatianna felt the vehicle slow down and turn into a driveway, Reid stopped the vehicle in front of large black iron gates and pressed the keypad that was on the brick wall beside it. The gates slowly swung open and he continued driving, Tatianna smirked at his house. The walls were brick; it was easily three stories not including the basement and had a large black door. The lawn was in immaculate condition, perfectly green and not blade out of place. It was like every other house she had seen in the Ipswich area, but it held more of an old world feel to it even with it's upgrades and modern looks. She followed Reid into the house and to a set of stairs that led down into the basement, 'This is where he puts me into a torture chamber' she thought to herself and couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Reid asked her, slightly turning his head to look at her suspiciously and amused.
"Oh just telling myself that this is the part where you put me in a torture chamber or room, you know the regular scary basement scene" she answered smirking at him as he shook his head and laughed.
He turned on a light and she looked around, this side of the house's basement was obviously only for Reid. There was a large flat screen TV that took up a good portion of one of the walls, hardwood floors, and any type of game console available, he had a large stereo and system on a different wall. She looked around some more before sitting down on one of the black plush couches; she set her food on the coffee table in front of her and waited till Reid sat down.
"Okay, so do you want me to start?" Reid asked her once he was comfortable, his drink and feet propped on the coffee table and food beside him.
"That would be nice" Tatianna answered while taking a bite of one of her fries. She watched Reid as he looked towards her and smiled.
"Here it goes…" he said sighing before beginning "I come from a long line of well witches I guess is that easiest way of putting it. My family along with the guys' families all came over here from England during the witch trials. To hide ourselves from persecution here we made a coven, a secret society. We only tell those who can be trusted." He explained and looked at her more intently as he said the last few words.
"Alright, so what are your powers? Like how does it work?" Tatianna questioned, acting as if he hadn't just pulled a bitch move by saying she may not still be able to trust.
"Well we aren't sure how we got them, but at the age of thirteen we get a taste of our powers. It's a test for us, to see if we can handle the power and not be taken in to the addiction of it. At eighteen we ascend, and gain our full powers some can make it others can. The power wears down our bodies the more we use it, makes us age faster than any normal human being. We can't live without the power, if we will it away to someone our body dies. Caleb gets on my case because I use a lot but I know what I am doing and I know that I can handle it. I always tell myself, use it while you can before you ascend." He told her and watched as it all slowly sunk in, she kept munching on her fries and picking at her burger, like she always did she couldn't just eat food she had to pick pieces off and eat it. Reid could never understand why. "Your turn sweetheart" he added after a few moments and watched as she took a drink.
"Well we are definitely different" she started "I should begin by saying that I do have two different magical genes, which sounds weird but whatever. My father's side is English, so that's the power that you saw. While my mother's side is Russian, and I have psychic abilities so to say. I got my powers when I was twelve but have yet to receive the full ones till my half birthday, it sounds weird I know having a half birthday. But that happens in February. My true birthday is in August but that's the rules I guess. I won't age, and I won't lose my powers we don't have the option to will them away. We get them for life and can use them as much as we like. That's all that there really is to say about it" she finished saying and picked another piece off of her burger, Reid had finished his already during her explanation and was now eating his fries.
"That didn't take as long as I expected." Reid replied towards her and she snickered.
"Well what did you expect, a six hour family history?" she inquired, and he shrugged his shoulders.
"So psychic, does that mean you can read my thoughts." He asked her and watched as she smiled.
"No I can't read your thoughts, I probably will be able to after I get the full blown powers. But for now I can tell when people's emotions, like right now you believe me but are still cautious about this whole scenario. I can tell that but I can't tell why or anything. I get a vision, that's why I was down at the water. It helps me to relax more and it's also my element, I guess I left that part out. When you are psychic the element you were born into helps you gain more out of your powers." She clarified, and then stood up and began looking around the room.
"So what are these visions about, and what are you doing?" he watched her look around his room, he knew she was snooping she always did it. When she first went to his dorm room, and entered his vehicle.
"You already know so why ask what I'm doing. As for the visions, I can't really tell you much except for there is a prophecy involved and always two people arguing with powers. But I can never tell who they are, which is starting to get annoying. I haven't called any on since well… our incident" Tatianna said and then saw his bed; it was covered in black sheets and blankets. 'How original' she thought while sprawling out on it.
Reid watched her as she laid on his bed, she was staring at the ceiling above her. He smirked and walked over, intrigued by her mentioning a prophecy. "What does this prophecy say?" he questioned and sat down on the bed beside her.
"Ah the fun part, One must pay to fix the curse. Two must discover their hidden connection. One must control the addiction. Three must not interfere. One must overcome their mind. Five must unite." She stated and saw Reid look at her, "I don't get it at all, but when I was reading it in my premonition I was in a basement that had candles everywhere. It had a fire in the center, books all over, and it was in this one large book floating in the center of the room." Tatianna watched as a slight recognition in Reid's eyes showed up.
"Come with me" Reid said and grabbed her by the hand dragging her upstairs.
"What the hell Reid?" Tatianna raised her voice and ripped her hand out of her grasp.
"Sorry babe, it's just I might know the place you are talking about. So come on lets go" he explained to her and then walked out of his house to his towards his Ferrari. It was a total Reid car, he loved to be flashy.
"Where is this place?" she asked him curiously as she walked towards the car and got in. She took her shoes off and put them on the dash, she saw Reid look at her from the corner of his eye she placed them there. He didn't like it but he let her do it, just cause she whined when he didn't let her.
"First colonial house of the Danvers family." He answered her and drove out of his driveway.
"Oh I see. Well nifty, I'm rolling you okay with that?" she asked him before grabbing her rolling papers out of her purse.
"Yeah its fine, I let you put your feet up and I do smoke in here." Reid told her and then laughed a bit afterwards. "I still think you do that too much" he added on after.
"Yeah well, its how I roll" she replied to him. Beginning to roll her joint.
"Why?" Reid asked her quickly and saw her look at him awkwardly. "Why do you get high all the time? Why do you have to drink alcohol everyday? And why do you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day?" he then questioned some more.
"Holy twenty questions much? I just do Reid, it's who I am you can either like it, deal with it, or not like it. Either way I'm not stopping." She said back snappishly. 'Like it matters what I do with my life. I've got bigger problems than alcohol, cigarettes and drugs.' "You forgot to ask why do I have sex as much as I do too" she then pointed out and saw Reid smirk.
"Yeah well you haven't had sex with me so I don't want to hear about your escapades" he told her before grinning at her.
"Oh but I have to hear about yours? Ha you're playing with the minor league girls Reid" she laughed as she spoke to him, and then lit her joint taking a long hoot. She passed it over to Reid and he looked at her slightly before taking it.
"Minor leagues? And what are you major league?" he stated after taking his turn, he watched Tatianna take another and then she unbuckled her seat belt. "What are you doing now"
"Oh, you know just showing you something" she replied before putting out the joint and moving closer to Reid. Leaning over so that she was close to his ear she lightly blew on it and then lightly licked his ear lobe.
Reid looked at her from the rear view mirror and saw her eyes were half open, he then saw her move even closer over the center console. She nibbled on his ear, and slid her hand down his arm, and then up and back down his chest before stopping at his belt. Reid swallowed hard, and looked back at the road.
"Would any of the girls you hook up with" she started to whisper into his ear and he felt a tingle go down his spine, and her hand undoing his belt buckle, "ever touch you like this" she then added and undid his pants and slid her hand down a bit so it was just grazing his member "or do they wait for you to make the move".
"No they don't do this" Reid replied to her trying to keep his voice under control and drive.
"Exactly, they are minor league" Tatianna exclaimed, and then did up his pants and belt while sitting back in her seat and buckling up.
Reid looked at her, not pleased that she had just done that and stopped. She looked over at him and laughed lightly, "Oh don't be so upset Reid, you look like you just lost your favorite toy".
"Shut up Tatianna, Ill get you back for that" he grinned at her and then they pulled up towards an old house. Tatianna looked at it quickly stepping out of the vehicle, she felt lots of magic around this house.
"Okay come on now" Reid ushered her into the house, Gorman was no longer a worry since Caleb's dad had passed away. He looked after Caleb's current house now, and this house had a magical charm around it.
Tatianna followed behind him, and down the same stairs she saw in her premonition. She looked around, everything was the same in this room and she almost shuddered at the eerie feeling it gave her. She saw the stone seats surrounding the fire and saw each of the boy's names on one, she sat down on the one with Garwin engraved into it and stared at the books. 'Which one is it' she thought to herself and began to tap her chin, completely in her own zone.
Reid looked at Tatianna as she looked around the room, and sat down on his family seat. She was sitting with her back towards the fire; face the wall of books and tapping her chin in thought. She looked cute, he had to admit it, she stood up after a few moments and walked straight towards one of the books before touching it. It slid out towards the fire and she watched in amazement as it opened up and started to flip it own pages. It stopped and she read the page slowly, her gray eyes widened a bit before going back to their normal size.
"Find anything helpful?" Reid asked Tatianna as he walked over towards her, standing behind her and peering over her shoulder.
"Well this is the page with the prophecy on it, above it are some dates discussing some family named Pope and how they did the covenant wrong. Which I am assuming means the four families, you, Tyler, Pogue and Caleb. It says that they are the reason why the families' age when they use, something about how you didn't always age but that they were out of control with the power. Using it for every single necessity and that they harmed innocent people with it, so some elders put a curse on the Pope's and everyone else." She turned her head a bit and glanced at Reid, his head was on her shoulder and he was scanning the book himself.
"I may have to show this to Caleb" Reid muttered, and felt Tatianna freeze underneath him.
"I'll only tell him I was looking for something for my ascension, to see if I could make it less painful or a way to curb the addiction." He then told her after she didn't say anything to his earlier statement.
"Okay, well we should probably get out of here. Is there anyway I can borrow this?" she stated, while still standing in front of him.
"Sure" Reid replied, he knew she was waiting for him to move so she could. He put his one hand on her hip while his other ran up her side; he placed his lips lightly on her neck for a brief second. His fingers on her hips slowly traced the edge of her jeans finding the button, while his lips were placed back on her neck he kissed her again and then blew on the spot he had just touched.
"Reid" Tatianna said, her voice calm. She felt his hand undo the top button of her pants and then his fingers over top of her lace underwear, slowly moving lower. His lips were back on her neck and moving lower to her shoulder and collarbone while his other hand slid up to her breasts. She bit her lip lightly 'He's just trying to get back at you, don't let him phase you' she thought to herself, but truthfully all she was really thinking about was his hand in her pants.
"Shh" was all Reid mumbled, her moved his hand back to her hip and took his lips off her neck before he turned her around. Tatianna didn't have time to even look at him before his lips were on hers, his one hand now in her hair while the other was going back down to her underwear. She sucked on his bottom lip, and then felt him lick her upper lip; releasing his lip she let him explore her mouth while her fingers played with his hair. Reid slid his hand underneath her lace boy shorts and moved it to her back, he grabbed her ass and she pushed her body into his more.
Tatianna lightly groaned as he grabbed her again, his hand moving back in front while he continued to attack her mouth with his own. He had a fistful of her hair, while her one hand was firmly placed on his shoulder and the other in his hair. "Oh" Tatianna whispered while Reid started to kiss her neck again and slip one of his fingers in side of her. She gripped onto his shoulder a bit more when he bit down on her neck.
"That's all you get" Reid then stated, taking his hands and lips off of her and walking away to the steps.
"Oh very funny Reid" Tatianna exclaimed, while buttoning her pants back up and following him outside.
She got into his vehicle and buckled up while glancing over at him to see a grin plastered on his face. 'I'm getting rid of that tonight' she thought to herself as they drove away and back to Reid's house.
--End—
Another short one, but I knew I had to at least get something out there. I hope everyone is enjoying this, if you don't like something you can always state that in a review. Criticism is welcome. Anyways I'm thinking that Reid and Tatianna need to stop teasing each other so that may be in the next chapter. Love.
