Thanks to all you guys who have been keeping up with the story and sending me those awesome reviews. They really make my day.
Reid: Hwy Kris!
Kris: What Garwin? don you ever get tired of getting turned down?
Reid: Nope but that's not the point. I wanted to ask you a serious question.
Kris: Well, what is it?
Reid: Where have you been all my life?
Kris: Where I'll be for the rest of your life-in your wildest dreams.
All of the sons and Sarah sat around the ring of fire with the Book of Damnation floating in the center. Caleb had called the sons over to meet at the Danvers old colony house to fill them in on Sarah's little run in with her older sister.
"That's my girl," Reid exclaimed when Sarah finished telling the boys what had gone down in the back of Nicky's.
"Excuse me," Caleb growled.
"Sorry," Reid smirked, "That's Caleb's girl." Everyone cracked up laughing and the tense that had been pulsing through the room evaporated.
"So what are we going to do about your sister," Pogue asked.
"I don't know," Sarah groaned out loud.
"Maybe we can be of some help," a voice from behind then answered. Immediately all eyes fell on Kristopher and Nissa Ravena. "I'm responsible for all of this and I want to set it right. If I had never allowed my brother and myself to turn Sarah none of this would be happening.
"Well, if you hadn't I probably would have never come to Ipswich and met Caleb," Sarah offered.
"Sarah…," Kristopher began to ask.
She held up her hand, "It's alright Kristopher. I forgive you but we'll talk about the rest later. Right now we need you help."
"Thanks," he said smiling and he and Nissa sat down next to her.
"Honestly, your timing couldn't be better. You and Nissa can run interference between Adianna and the boys; protect them from her. You know all of her tricks as well as I do and I still don't know what I'm going to do with her. I can't let her lay a hand on you guys but I can't kill her either; she's still my sister."
"I say we just kill her and get it over with," a second voice spoke out form the shadows.
"Nicholas," Nissa, Sarah and Kristopher all cried out in unison.
"What are you doing here Nicholas," his brother asked.
"Out of the goodness of my heart, I've come to help Sarah," he replied.
"That is questionable; considering you don't have heart dear brother." Nicholas just shrugged and took a seat in the circle.
"We can bind her magic," Sarah whispered.
"What was that babe," Caleb asked.
"Adianna…we can bind her powers and leave her human," she exclaimed.
"But how's that going to stop her," Reid asked. "She can still come at us with some of that kick but training she's been through.
Sarah laughed. "She'll be so ashamed at not being a witch anymore that she'll basically live in exile for the rest of her life. She never go back to Dominique as a mere human." Reid still looked skeptical so she added, "And like she'll ever beat me in hand to hand. Once second best; always second best."
Everyone left the colony house feeling much more secure about the oncoming future; especially Sarah. They would get through this; she knew they could. Before they had left Sarah had told Nissa, Kristopher and Nicholas to watch out for the boys and keep their eyes open for Adianna. None of the boys knew about Sarah's second plan since she had communicated telepathically with the other vampires. Tomorrow she and Caleb would return to the colony house to research the book for binding spells to use against Adianna.
They were driving back to the dorms when Caleb let out a sigh. "What's the matter," Sarah asked.
"Well this may not be the best time to ask you this but the school dance is next week."
"And you want to go with me right," she smiled.
"Yeah but I understand if you don't want to. I mean, you've got a lot of stuff going on with your sister and you're just now starting to forgive Kristopher."
Sarah took his hand and gently squeezed it, "Are you kidding? I could use a night of partying right now. I'd love to go Caleb."
"Great! The guys are all for it but we didn't want to go without you."
