When we got to Sarah's dorm we were already plotting how to torture Pogue. I filled her in on what happened in the woods. Cole had called reminding me of the rules as I was braiding my hair. He was in mid rant when I hung up on him. I was done listing to people yelling at me. I went into the bathroom to change because I wanted to see her face when she saw what I was wearing.

She was doing her make-up when I came out. I moved so she could see my image in the mirror. She turned slowly and had a huge smile on her face. "Your going to kill him with that outfit."

I took a look in the mirror and I didn't recognize the girl. I had braided two braids and Em was right it showed off my neck just right. The black leather corset pushed my breasts up and the low ride leather pants showed off my toned stomach. The three inch hooker boots made me almost as tall as Pogue. No more bending down to kiss. "You ready to go?"

"Not quite." She walked over and pushed me into the chair she had been in. She pulled out a choker and put it around my neck. She fiddled with it until it was the right length. The blue gem that hung from it made you take notice of my breasts. "Now I'm ready."

I put on my leather jacket and zipped it up. I gave her my helmet when we got down to the bike. I took my time getting there. We pulled up to a building set further back from the street. I pulled up to the designated bike area. I waited for her to get off and I heard a commotion. "Dude your gunna get your ass handed to you." I got off taking my lid from her.

We started to walk towards the building. Reid was smoking a cigarette and Pogue was stalking towards us. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He was pissed. I looked at Sarah and she shrugged. "You know better than to ride without a lid. You could have been hurt."

"She was careful and took her time getting here." Sarah had stepped around me to talk to him.

I grabbed her arm and pushed her behind me. I knew how volatile the look he was giving me could be. I had to deal with it on a regular basis. Out of habit I looked away from his eyes. "No She told me she believed you should wear one. Didn't you learn from your accident? That was a stupid move and you should have taken Ty up on his offer for a ride."

I looked him in the eyes. I felt myself getting warmer. When I crossed over the edge of being pissed the fire element tended to fuel my anger. I got in his face and he took a step back. "I'm done being told I'm stupid. I wouldn't have let anything happen to her. I don't take risks like everyone thinks." I shoved him out of my way and stormed past him. Reid moved out of my way when I got close. He had the same look Pogue did. Why did I let them in? I knew I was just going to get hurt.

I knew that I was getting attention when I entered the bar. I knew I had the same walk as before and this outfit made me look even more fierce. I walked to the bar. "What can I get you?"

I pulled out my fake ID and handed it to him before I ordered. "Four shots of Everclear." He looked at the ID and back at me. "Trust me looking young is a bigger curse than blessing." He turned and set four shot glassed in front of me. I handed him a credit card. "I'd like to start a tab." I had been in enough bars to know how this works. He nodded and waited for me to walk away. Instead I downed all four shots. His eyes were huge. I smiled at him. "Trust me those will do nothing I learned to drink with White Lightning. Can I get a Jack and Coke?"

I felt someone behind me and the air moved just right telling me it was Pogue. He set the drink in front of me and I nodded to the bartender as I walked away. Pogue tried to stop me but I kept walking. I headed for the table Sarah was at. Caleb had his arm around her. I took my coat off and Tyler choked on his beer. Reid turned around to see what was wrong. For the first time since I met him he was truly speechless. I put my drink on the table. "Lets dance. Tonight's on me boys anything you want. Just tell the bartender it's on my tab."

When we got to the jukebox I started slipping money into the machine. I punched in ten songs and pulled her to the dance floor as Gunpowder and Lead started. I let the song take me away. I sang the song as we danced. I caught eyes with Pogue when the words "He want's a fight well now he's got one. He ain't seen me crazy yet. Slap my face and shook me like a rag doll don't that sound like a real man? I'm gunna show him what little girls are made of, gun powder and lead."

I turned around and gave Sarah all my attention. She danced three more songs before she needed a drink. I continued to dance and didn't care that guys were grinding on me. I knew when it was Paul. He slid his arms around my waste and I took the dancing more serious because I knew he wouldn't expect anything. Foo Fighters Darling Nikki was playing and he knew I was letting off some steam. Our bodies moved as one. We ground to the floor and back up like two people fucking. "Your pushing the limits."

"Fuck the rules. I'm done living by them. Let him try to drag me out of here. He'll find out I'm serious when I blow this joint and you never see me again." I turned and he pulled my leg up around him as we ground against each other. "I'm done living the sheltered life. If they don't like it they don't have to be in my life."

"Do me a favor and slow down on the drinks or hand over your keys."

- Pogue -

I downed another beer. "Why was she mad at me? I was right to yell at her. She could have been hurt as much as Sarah."

"Because you looked at her like she was beneath you." Reid had been flirting with a group of girls next to our table. "I agree with you but would have used a different approach."

"We made out in the woods. If I hadn't pulled away I'm pretty sure we would have went all the way. Now she's dry humping guys she doesn't even know."

"You should see things from her point of view. From what I can tell there are only three people that don't treat her like a baby. Now if the guy she's dancing with wasn't dating her best friend I would worry." Sarah was pointing to the dance floor.

It was like watching a porno with cloths on. The song playing only emphasized the moves. It was like they were the only ones in the room. I couldn't look away. I wanted to use my powers and hurt him. He was touching my girl in ways I had yet to touch her. Caleb put his hand on my shoulder grounding me like always. I grabbed his beer and downed it. When the song was over she kissed his cheek and I flew out of my chair. Reid and Caleb grabbed me and helped me see how bad an idea loosing my temper would be.

As the music changed I kissed his cheek. "No I'll burn off the alcohol if I need to." As soon as he wasn't touching me I felt a sharp pain on the left side of my head. It felt like some one hit me. Next thing I knew I was dizzy. I decided to walk back to the table Sarah was sitting on Caleb's lap. Pogue was sitting next to them and there were several empty beer bottles next to him. I took the empty seat next to Pogue.

I downed my drink like it was water. I had caught him trying to touch my leg a few times but pull back at the last minute. I grabbed the empty bottles and my glass taking them up to the bar. I ordered two burgers and more drinks. I went to the table and set a beer down in front of him. "Thanks." He turned and leaned against the wall.

"I ordered food."

"I get it. I'm sorry. I was out of line. Your right your not a kid." He looked at the dance floor. "Just do me a favor and stop grinding on other guys. That last dance almost had me." He looked at his hands. "Let's just say it wouldn't have been pretty."

"I didn't do it to hurt you. I dance to get rid of stress. You have nothing to fear from Paul. You should thank him."

He grunted. "For what showing me that another man could take my girl from me." He looked up. "I know I don't have a right to say that. I just hoped that when I asked you tonight you would say yes."

"If he hadn't danced with me I would still be out there. He knew that until I could truly dance I wouldn't stop. As for the being your girl." I shrugged. "If I say yes you can't yell at me for everything I do you don't agree with. I can take care of myself and others. I would never let anything happen to your family."

"I can't promise but I will try not to be an ass." Someone yelled his name. "Foods done." I downed my drink and handed him the glass. "Could you get me another one?"

"Are you sure? You still have to drive home."

"Don't worry about that. I have my ways of sobering up. Plus I'm used to drinking Uncle Marty's moonshine. This shit is watered down compared to it."

"Nicky told me what was in the shots. Your not that big and two of those are enough to kill a person."

"Make it a coke." He smiled. "But that means that's your last one pretty boy. Your driving to."

"I can walk home if I need to." He stuck his tongue out.

Tyler and Reid sat down and they seemed rather pleased with themselves. "So are you sure your a virgin because the way you move."

My mouth hit the floor. I expect comments like that from Reid but not Tyler. I felt dizzy again and grabbed my chair to steady myself. I didn't hide that something was wrong. Reid was starting to say something but was interupted.

"Trust me that is one rule she knows not to break." I got a huge smile on my face. I turned to look at Em and she was wearing the matching outfit to mine. "I hear your rather rebellious and taking it out on my man." Her smile got bigger. "Thank you. I always have the best sex when you torture him." Pogue set my food in front of me and sat down. She pushed me into his lap and sat in my chair. She downed my burger in five bites then grabbed my glass and took a drink. "What the hell is this?"

"It's called a coke."

"Yeah but your in a bar and I got you that really pretty fake ID why aren't you using it?"

"Because someone asked me really nicely to stop drinking." She turned and looked at the wolves that were playing pool.

"Are you telling me you gave into Ogre without punches being thrown?"

"No hell will freeze first. Especially with how he has been lately. Pogue asked me to stop because I have the bike." I leaned into him and he wrapped his arm around me. "Em this is my boyfriend Pogue and his friends Tyler and Reid."

Her head wiped in my direction. "You know Bill is going to freak. He's already fuming about your behavior. He called Cole just before I got here."

"He's your king not mine. I'm just the creation dumped on him." I stood. "I'm complete now." She stood and put her hand on my arm. "It won't be long now. I deserve to know what life is suppose to be like."

"When? Why didn't they tell me?" She was crying.

"The night of the accident and I just figured it out today." I pulled out of her iron grip and went to the bar. I came back with several shots of Everclear and her fruity drink. I handed everyone one. She had sat back down and looked so defeated. Paul materialized out of nowhere pulling her into his arms.

"What's wrong?"

I handed him a shot. "Let's hope they were wrong." I threw mine back before leaning down and kissing Pogue like I wanted to. I grabbed my lid and headed for the door. Cole was coming towards me and started yelling at me. He tried to grab my arm and I hit him in the head with my helmet. He flew into the wall. I knew my helmet was ruined. I dropped it and walked out. I heard several people yelling my name as I flew out of the parking lot.

"Nice. Come to and we can take the rest down." The mystery voice was clear this time. I used everything I had to build a stronger shield before taking off.

I pushed my bike to the limits. I had no idea where I was going I just new I needed to leave. Where had all of that came from? I knew I was mad but I had never intentionally hurt someone. Cole is family whether he's being an ass or not. I could feel something pushing at my mind again. I had a flash of a man's face in my head. I slammed on the breaks. I had to use my ability to keep the bike from flipping. Was he the evil? God I hope not because I don't think I can take him. I started to cry.

I dried my tears and drove into the first gas station I found. I fueled up and pulled as much cash as I could from my other card. I drove to the next town and got a room. It was too late for any stores to be open so I had to wear what I had. Leather just wasn't comfortable so I stripped down to my underwear. I lay there trying to figure out how to defeat him. How to keep the people I cared about safe. Mostly I cried.

I was walking in the woods with Pogue, Tyler and Caleb. Sarah was sick and stayed home. Reid had hooked up with his latest conquest and was already at the Dells. We were laughing and I stopped. I turned and the man that tried to kill me and invade my mind was behind us. They couldn't see him. "Your mine. The Son's will regret what they did. Your power will bring me back and then I will kill them. He started to walk towards me.

I tried to tell them to run but they couldn't see him. Suddenly their eye's flashed red and then were solid black. There were no irises. "Chase." Pogue pushed me behind him. "Your dead."

"Only temporarily. Your girlfriend is going to bring me back." He was standing there one second and then was a glowing ball of energy.

Pogue and Tyler started throwing energy balls at it but they did nothing. Caleb started to channel a larger much more powerful energy. "I got rid of you once and I'll do it again." He flung it at the ball of energy and it had no effect.

The next thing I knew I was running and I was using every bit of speed I could muster. I could hear them yelling my name. I could feel a large body of water close by. I called to it as well as earth and it strengthened me. I picked up speed. I just wasn't fast enough. I saw a cliff ahead of me. I was just starting to jump off of it when the energy slammed into me.

I hovered in the air as it burned me alive. The last thing I saw before I was finished was the man standing on the cliff. He was alive and his eyes matched Pogue's. He turned and I watched him kill them. He now possessed my powers as well.

The scene changed and I was in a beautiful meadow full of wild flowers. A woman with long brown hair stood in the middle. She opened her arms wide. "I'm sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing hiding you away. Your mother is old and forgets that your stronger with love. I will fix things with Bill."

"What was that?"

"It was your future without him. That was where I was wrong. I thought your being sheltered would strengthen you. That I was seeing your future with love. You showed me how much stronger you are with him."

I found myself walking to her. She wrapped her arms around me. "Can I save them?"

"I don't know my child but I know you will do what is right. Taking yourself away from the wolves leaves you just as vulnerable. Your fate is no longer mine to decide. You are the one who showed me that." She kissed my head.
