WitheringSage-Thanks so much for the review. I hope I didn't disappointed with the battle scene. I'm not very good with epic battles and fighting.
cmunoz.22-Glad you loved the update and yes the cat's out of the bag. You were also right about having to wait to see what happens with Ash's parents. Don't worry, the wait won't be long. I know the Ducati was great but Pogue will get a new one. You can't imagine him driving anything else. Thanks for the review and for keeping up with all of my stories.

"Here, have something to drink," Caleb said offering her a plastic cup.
"It's not spiked is it," she asked, eyeing the cup suspiciously.
"No, I don't think so. Reid hasn't been see near the punch bowl," he smirked.
"Can we get in one dance before you have to go," Ashlyn asked when she heard Love Story by Taylor Swift begin to play.
"Sure," he said. Caleb took her hand and led her to the dance floor.
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
In the summer air
See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying
on the staircase
Begging you please don't go
And I
said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting,
all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the
princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
So I sneak
out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if
they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter
And my
daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I
was begging you please don't go
And I said
Romeo, take me
somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do
is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a
love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me, they're trying
to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't
be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby,
just say yes
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were
ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on
the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo save me, I've been
feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is
this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground
and he pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you'll
never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I
talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love
story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We were both young when I first saw you
"I have to leave," he whispered in her ear when the song came to and end.
"Please take the boys with you," Ashlyn begged.
"I am not risking their lives," Caleb protested. "Chase is after me and I'll deal with it on my own."
"I'm never going to forgive you if you don't come back," she pouted.
"Then I have nothing to worry about," he smirked. "I see you in a few Ash." Caleb gave her one last kiss before disappearing into the crowd; heading for the exit.
"Be careful," she whispered to herself.

Rain was pouring out of the sky as Caleb sped along the old dirt road that led to Putman barn in his mustang. He needed to end this war between the Covenant and Chase Collins. One person from Ipswich was already dead; four others counting Chase's adoptive parents and his biological father.
Just as he was approaching the barn Chase appeared out of nowhere on the hood of the mustang. Caleb slammed down on the brakes.
"Did you really think I'd let you win that easy," he laughed. Chase jumped over the car, smashing every window with his powers as soon as he landed. Caleb got out of the car but couldn't see the other boy anywhere. He saw the barn and ran towards it. The inside of the barn was lit by old oil lamps. Chase was standing up on one of the railings of the barn's upper portion.
"I didn't think you'd put up your part of the bargain," Chase told him. "So I took out a little insurance policy." The fifth son pointed to a corner of the small room and there was Ashlyn, hovering a few feet off the ground. "She's stunning isn't she," fire spread out and began to surround her. Just as Caleb moved to save her Chase shouted, "Go any nearer and she dies."
"What do you want," Caleb asked, putting his hands up.
"What do I want," Chase repeated him, "I'm Chase Collins. I have everything I could possibly want. It's what I need. "I need more power and you're going to will it to me."
"Not likely," Caleb growled.
"Oh really," he smirked, "and here I thought you'd never do anything to endanger your precious little girlfriend."
"Don't hurt her," Caleb pleaded.
"Just do as I say and I won't."
Caleb sent a sphere of power hurling towards him. Chase caught it in his hands and launched it right back at Caleb. Narrowly dodging the attack, Caleb used to send the farm tools stored in the barn flying towards Chase. The other boy ducked, causing them to the hit the wall. Catching Caleb off guard, Chase through an energy ball the rammed him into the opposite wall.
"Is that all you got, golden boy," Chase laughed. "I don't think little Ash has much more time left for you to waste." Just as Chase said those words Caleb saw the fire around Ashlyn spread, engulfing the wood and everything else it met in its flames. Chase punched Caleb, using to make a larger impact to his face.

"Hey man, have you seen my sister," Tyler asked Reid, who was currently talking to a curly-haired blond.
"No but don't worry baby boy, I'm sure she's around here somewhere," Reid reassured him.
"I don't know Reid, I've got a bad feeling," Tyler said.
"It's twelve minuets passed eleven," Reid told him.
"Happy birthday, Caleb," Tyler said out load.

Caleb felt himself being pulled up by a force. Then there was pain; an unbearable, sharp pain that ran through his whole body.
"What's this," Chase exclaimed. "Are we ascending?" Just as quickly as it came, the pain was gone; in its place Caleb felt power. "How does it fell," Chase asked. "This incredible amount of power coursing through your veins; allowing you to do anything you could possibly imagine? Scary, isn't it? Frankly, I don't think you're strong enough to handle it." Caleb tried to get up but Chase sent another hit to his back and pushed Caleb back to the ground. Chase leaned down and pulled Caleb's hair back, "Are you ready to say uncle?"
"Go to hell," Caleb croaked out. Chase pulled Caleb up and sent him flying through the air. Caleb's back made contact with the window before it shattered into pieces. He barely used in time to soften his landing.
Chase got on his knees and squeezed Caleb's head between his two hands. "Say it," he hissed. "Say the words. I."
"I," Caleb repeated.
"Will you."
"Will you nothing," Caleb let out before kicking Chase right. Caleb assaulted Chase with energy; making a hit everytime. Chase sent an energy ball towards him but catching it in both hands, like Chase had before, Caleb sent it flying back at Chase; sending him into the fire.
Caleb ran into the barn and spotted Ashlyn still in the same state they had left her in. Caleb carefully lifted her up into his arms and carried her out of the burning barn bridal style. His eyes were still pitch black from using to protect them from the flames. He gently set her down on the wagon.
He was so thank she was alive. When he had seen her surrounded by the flames, he though he'd never see her again. It scared him that he could have lost her so easy and couldn't have done anything about it. He tucked in a strand of her hair behind her ears; her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at him. "Hey."
"Hey," he said returning her smile. Caleb pulled her up and held her in his arms.
That's all guys. Hope you liked it. Don't worry, the story
isn't over yet. Ashlyn and
Caleb may have taken care of Chase but now they've
got to deal with something more dangerous…her parents.
until the next chapter….ciao and remember
