Reid: Hey Kris.

Kris: Garwin, you again.

Reid: Relax, I was just surprised. I didn't know angels few so low.

Kris: Not usually. God sent me down to weed out all of Earth's losers. Come with me please.

Minuets turned to hours; hours turned to days but Caleb continued to ignore Sarah. In class, he would finch every time she look his was. They boys all kept their guard up with she was around; they knew. Sarah's heart hadn't beat in a year, but the pain it was experiencing now was that of a lifetime and then some. She had tried out for the swim team and made it, but only to be somewhat close to Caleb; just to look out for him. Nicholas wasn't finished with Spencer Academy yet and she would be on alert until he left once for all. Even at practice though, Caleb would pretend she wasn't there. When the team had to work in partners, the boys teamed up and Sarah was left with some guy form her Anatomy and Physiology class.

Friday night came and Sarah was left alone in her room reading, when there was a knock on her door. She was shocked to see Caleb on the other side when she opened it.

"Hi," he said softy. Caleb was looking at his shoes. He didn't want to look into the dark brown eyes he had fallen in love with.

"Hey." They both stood in silence before Caleb finally spoke again.

"Could you please come with me? There is something I-we want to tell you."

"We," she asked.

"Me and the boys that is," he clarified.

"Ummm…sure. Let me just grab my key and my purse." They got into the mustang and drove off to the Danvers family colony house.

The house looked ancient; straight out of Ipswich's past. It was the surprise that the structure had held on for so long but the Danvers family most likely kept in shape all these year. Sarah followed Caleb down the cold, concrete steps into a basement like room. There was a fire in the center of the room and all of the boys were sitting in front of it. Tyler gave her a weak smile as she sat down next to the boys.

"So what did you want to tell me," she asked Caleb.

"Wait," Reid spoke. "Before we tell you our secrets you have to tell us yours and explain yourself. As stupid as it is, we're giving you the benefit of the doubt here Sarah."

"You're our friend and we don't' want you to have to hide things from us," Tyler added.

"We're listening so please just tell us what's wrong," Pogue assured her.

That was all it took. The boys still cared about her. Is she could cry, Sarah would have. She couldn't help but open up to them and tell them everything. She told them of her past, her mother and sister, how she was raised to kill any vampire, meeting Nicholas, Kristopher and Nissa, and ultimately being turned into the very thing she had been raised to despise and kill. She told them of the days she spent hiding; desperately seeking shelter from her mother and the rest of the Vida clan who were after her life. Hearing about the betrayal Sarah faced with Kristopher softened their hearts. They knew they had been right to trust her. None of this had been her choice. She was a victim of circumstance. Being hunted down by your own family was bad enough but to be forced to hunt for animals in the forest like beast was worse.

Reid let out a long whistle when she finished. "Wow, and I though we had it bad."

"Reid," all of the other three boys shouted in unison. Sarah couldn't help but laugh.

"It wasn't so bad after I moved here. Things were good but them Nicholas-" she trailed off.

"Yeah, but don't' you worry."

"We'll take care of the prick," Reid offered.

"No," she shouted. "You guys don't get it. He's a vampire. An extremely old and powerful vampire. If it was just supernatural strength and hand to hand combat I'd take him easily. I've had years of hunting experience but he's stronger mentally. He can pin you helplessly to a wall without breaking a sweat. None of us stand a chance."

"Then what are we going to do," Caleb asked. It was the first time he had spoke since they entered the colony house.

"We let him have his fun and leave. He knows better to attract attention to our kind. He'll drink human blood alright, you can be sure of that, but he won't drain the girls he'll go after if we don't interfere. He'll take a small dose and dump them like he always does but if we get in his way he'll see it as a challenge and start killing innocents left and right."

"Alright," Caleb agreed. "But you don't go anywhere without on of us with you; even hunting. Believe it or not we have better chances against Nicholas than you think."

"What?"

"Have you heard the rumors about us being descendants of the Ipswich witches," Tyler asked.

"Yeah, some girls were talking about that."

"Well it's all true," Pouge answered.

"I don't believe it," Sarah whispered.

"Come on Princess. If vampires can be real than why can't witches-"

"No, I believe you alright," Sarah interrupted. "The best healers are witches. Hunters, like my family, keep good connections with the most powerful ones all of the time."

Tyler turned to Caleb and said, "Well this makes things easy. You can take it from here, can't you fearless leader? I'm going to call it a night and head back to the dorms."

"Yeah, me too," Reid added.

"I got to head back to my apartment too. See ya Princess." Sarah and Caleb were the only ones left in the room. Neither of them wanted to be the first to break the silence.

"You're practically the sister they never had. They really love you, you know; all three of them," Caleb said softy. He was sitting leaning forward with his hands cupped in front of him and his elbows on his knees.

"And what about you?" Caleb looked into her eyes for the first time since the incident. He face was emotionless. Sarah was almost too terrified to ask but she needed to know. He got up and in two quick strides stood before her. He grabbed her gently by the arms and crushed their lips together in one mind blowing kiss. He let his arms fall to her waist and pulled her closer to him; pressing their bodies together.

Caleb had to break apart when oxygen became an issue but with their foreheads pressed together, he whispered in her ear, "Does that answer you question?"

"Not really, I think you need to clarify that," she replied smiling up at him. He leaned in and kissed her just as passionately s the first kiss.

"I love you," he said looking into her eyes. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck; to never let him go.

"I love you too."
