Author's Note: YAY! People reviewed! I am so happy with the feedback I've gotten from my readers. This chapter so far is pretty long. That being said, I usually edit my work as I type it up so it has the potential to get longer. I also want to clear something up from the last chapter…Abi DOES NOT know who the 'Sons' are. She was worried about walking into a room somewhere and meeting someone and then they freak out on her for looking like Chase. Abi has already met Caleb and Pogue by now and now she's about to meet Tyler and Reid in this chapter but won't find out about their powers until either the next chapter or the chapter after that. I also changed when I would pick up the story and decided that I would start it about two months after the events in the movie. So it would be about, November-ish, in this chapter and Abi has been at school for about three weeks. With that being said…enjoy the story. =]

Chapter One: Getting Ready for Nicky's

As the new girl, Abi couldn't help but be intensely nervous about her plans for later. Her new neighbors and friends Sarah Wenham and Kate Tunney were forcing her to go out with them to a bar called Nicky's. Nicky's, as Abi had been told, was the local hangout for Spencer's youth and Abi had yet to go there in her three weeks at Spencer. As Abi finished gathering her clothes out of the closet, she turned to walk and place them on her bead and promptly tripped and fell to the floor. "Oh damn it," Abi said when she looked down and saw that she had torn her favorite pair of jeans and the heel on her right shoe had snapped off. Sighing, Abi's eyes flashed fire and instantly fixed her pants and shoe. Sitting down on the bed, Abi took her heels off and threw them into the closet. She was going to wear the shoes to the bar tonight but suddenly decided against it.

As Abi was rubbing her sore feet, her phone started vibrating in its spot on her bedside table. Leaning back on her bed, Abi reached up to grab her phone and saw that she had a text from Kate.

Hanging out with Pogue. Tell Sarah I'll meet you guys at Nicky's around eight.

Abi flipped open her Sidekick III and sent a quick text back to Kate. She smiled as she texted knowing that she was gonna catch hell for what she said later.

Geez Kate, you're always hanging out with your boyfriend lately. You're gonna make me and Sarah think that you don't love us anymore! HAHA just kidding. Don't worry, I'll tell Sarah about Nicky's.

Abi laughed as she gathered up her clothes and a towel and headed out of her room. As she passed Sarah's room, she noticed that the light was on so she decided to stop and chat with her for a moment before taking a shower. Knocking on the door, Abi sighed when she didn't get a response. Pulling out her phone, Abi sent a quick text to Sarah.

Wake the hell up Sarah. Kate said to meet at Nicky's at eight.

Abi laughed when she heard movement going on in the room and laughed harder when she heard Sarah let out a very loud, "SHIT." Knocking once more, Abi smiled when she heard Sarah's response.

"Ouch…damn it…I mean, come in!"

Abi opened the door and started laughing at the disarray of the room. "Jesus, Sarah. What did someone do, let a tornado loose in here," Abi said as she closed the door. The next thing Abi knew, she was being assaulted with a multitude of small pillows and stuffed animals. Laughing, Abi just ducked and sat on Kate's bed. Sarah grabbed one of her larger pillows and stood on her bed, holding it in a threateningly manner while she struggled to maintain a straight face.

"So help me Abi if you try to get out of tonight, I'll use deadly force to make you go," Sarah said in between giggles and holding up the pillow threateningly. Abi just rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrow at Sarah. "Ok…number one, death by pillow? Ooooh, scary. Number two, if you use deadly force then I'll be…well dead and then I won't have to go," Abi said flashing a triumphant smile to Sarah.

Sarah just rolled her eyes and smiled at Abi. "You're going…end of discussion."

Abi sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Yeah, I know. I've resigned myself to this miserable fate that you, Kate, and Pogue are inflicting upon me," Abi said in a bored tone.

Sarah rolled her eyes again and tossed another pillow at Abi. "Yeah yeah, whatever. Go take your shower girlie, you stink."

Abi gave a gasp of mock outrage and stood up from Kate's bed. "I will have you know that I do not stink," Abi said gathering her stuff and sticking her nose up in the air. "I just happen to not smell my best right now," Abi said as she left causing Sarah to laugh. Abi smiled and shook her head and started walking down the hall towards the shower room.

Abi had just reached out to the open the door of the showers when she heard it…

"Abigail…"

Terrified, Abi whipped around, the terror evident in her eyes. After a few moments of sweeping the hallway with her eyes, Abi was slowly the rest of the way to the showers, missing the smirk of a ghostly figure as it faded away.

As Abi took her shower, her thoughts turned the whisper that she had heard on her way to the showers. She had a very creepy feeling and sense of very unnatural déjà vu about it. It was similar to the type of thing her father used to do to keep tabs on her when she was still alive. At the sudden thought of her father, Abi started crying as she thought about the first time she had met him…

Flashback

Parking her car outside of the gate that separated a large house from the street Abi stared up at the house for a few moments, debating on whether or not she really wanted to go through with this. She had gotten a letter from a man claiming to be her father a few weeks ago, asking for her to meet with him at his house. At first Abi steadfastly refused to go, arguing with her mother about why she would want to meet with someone who, up until that point, had not had anything to do with her and her life. But after her mother made several veiled hints at taking away her car and credit card, Abi finally agreed to go.

Sighing, Abi got out of the car and approached the gate, punching in the combination to open it as directed in her letter. Running quickly up to the front of the house, Abi used the door knocker and knocked on the door. As she waited for it to open, Abi looked around the grounds and smiled when she saw bush of pink roses; her favorite flower. When the door opened to reveal an elderly man, Abi was slightly startled and turned to look at the man.

"Hello Miss. How may I help you?"

Abi smiled warmly at the man before stating her business. "Hello. My name is Abigail James and I'm here to see a man by the name of Pope," Abi said with a slight edge to her tone.

If the man heard the edge, he chose to ignore it. "Oh yes, you must be Master Charles' daughter. Right this way Miss," the man said, gesturing for Abi to come in. As the man led Abi through a long hallway, he glanced back at her and noticed her slight frown. "Master Charles is very excited about seeing you today Miss Abigail…"

"Abi," Abi said interrupting him, "Please just call me Abi Mister…"

"James, miss. My name is James," James said with a smile. Abi returned James' smile and continued to follow him in silence. When James stopped at a set of double doors, he turned to give Abi a reassuring smile. "I know you must seem nervous Miss Abi but I beg you to please hear Master Charles out. And…" James looked at Abi with a look of apprehension before continuing. "Please don't be too startled when you see him."

Without giving Abi a chance to reply, James opened the doors and stepped into the room. "Miss Abigail is her to see you sir," James stated into the room, looking towards a dark secluded corner.

Just as Abi was starting to think that James was going senile, a cough came from the corner of the room and Abi stepped forward, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"Ah yes, Abigail. Please come forward my child."

Abi gulped and looked at James with a look of fear mixed with apprehension. James gave her an encouraging smile before giving her a slight push into the room and closing the door behind her.

Abi took a deep breath before turning towards the corner and taking a step forward. She couldn't help but be mildly curious as to why her…father was hiding in a dark corner. After staring at the spot Abi assumed that Charles was, a chuckle was heard and then a fit of coughing.

"Oh my dear, I see you are just as stubborn as your mother was. Please come closer…into the light to be specific."

Abi glared at 'the corner' and stepped in front of the fireplace, fully into its light. As she did this, a gasp came from the corner and for some reason, Abi felt irritated by this. After a moment, Charles spoke.

"So beautiful. You are just beautiful as your mother was."

At these words, Abi snapped. "Look, I don't know who the hell you think you are but you cannot come into my life after 16 years; ask me to come see you, and then comparing me to my mother. Which by the way, you have no right to even think about my mother seeing as how you left her just two weeks after I was BORN!" Abi stood glaring at the direction in which Charles was sitting, breathing heavily after all the yelling. After a moment Abi shook her head and turned on her heel. "I'm so out of here."

Just as Abi had started to open the door, it was suddenly slammed shut as if an invisible person was behind her. Abi slowly turned around and looked at the spot where her father was sitting. She had felt the use of Power surge through her and was speechless. Before she could say anything, a chuckle arose in the room.

"I assume that you felt that."

Abi just nodded slowly. "D-Did you do that?"

"Yes, yes I did. Will you please come and hear me out now?"

Abi battled internally with herself before going before back to the fireplace and sitting down in a chair. Once she was settled, Charles started explaining everything about his relationship with her mother, why he left, and more importantly, about her powers. Afterwards, Abi ran her hands through her hair and sighed.

"If you knew I got the Power at thirteen, why didn't you contact me then," Abi said sadly.

"I would have my dear but I wasn't sure if you had gotten the Power or not. The reason why I contacted you now was because I got a letter from your mother who was concerned that you are becoming addicted," Charles said, concern laced in his voice.

"What's the big deal about getting addicted? I mean, it's not like it'll kill me right?"

After a moment of silence, Charles sighed. "Abi, what I am about to show you is going to be shocking. Please don't run from me."

Abi looked confused for a moment but nodded. Reaching to his left, Charles turned on a lamp. When Abi saw what he looked like, she gasped and shot out of her chair. "Oh my god…"

Charles smiled sadly as he gestured to his old and worn body. "No my darling. It won't kill you, but it will wear your body down to this. You will be 30, 40, 50 years old and yet look and feel like you are 100. Please my darling, don't make the same mistake that I have…that our whole line has."

Abi looked at her father with tears in her eyes before going to sit in front of him. Resting her head on his knees, she smiled as he ran his hand through her hair. She never had a father before and even though she was still angry that he had missed out on so much, she reveled in his fatherly affection.

"I promise. I swear that I won't make the same mistake…Papa."

End Flashback

Abi was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of a shattering light bulb. Suddenly feeling the sense of unnatural déjà vu again, Abi shut off the shower and quickly dressed before she went to investigate.

Walking towards where she saw the broken light bulb, Abi bent down and picked up the different pieces and threw them in the garbage. Sighing, Abi went to a mirror to brush her hair and nearly screamed when she saw what was looking back at her. Instead of seeing her face in the mirror, she saw the face of her brother, giving her his most evil smirk.

"Well well, my dear baby sister. Would have ever thought that you'd come here, to Ipswich, to Spencer, of all places. You know what happened here. Why would you come here and risk everything," Chase asked in mock concern.

Abi glared at Chase and tensed up in case he tried something. "Of course I remember my dear brother," Abi said, her tone laced with sarcasm. "You got your ass completely handed to you by the oldest Son." Abi laughed when she saw Chase's look of fury. "What's wrong Chase? Don't like the truth much, huh?"

Chase narrowed his eyes at Abi and fought to control his anger, not wanting to alert his presence to the other members of the Covenant. "I wouldn't be so cocky if I was you Abs. We wouldn't want the Covenant to find out who you are, now would we?" It was Chase's turn to laugh as Abi's face quickly paled in fear.

"You wouldn't dare?!"

This only caused Chase to laugh even more. "Oh believe me my dear, I would. But you still didn't answer my question Abigail. Why did you come here?"

"That's none of your god damn business. You just…"

Abi's words were cut off as Chase Used to choke her. "Maybe you don't remember, but you know better than to speak to me that way," Chase said evilly. After a moment, Chase released Abi, causing her to fall to the ground coughing as she struggled to take some deep breaths of air. After a moment, Abi stood back up and glared fiercely at her brother's reflection. "As much as I'd like to continue this, someone is coming and I can't risk getting caught…yet."

Abi's eyes widened at Chase's words. "What the hell do you mean yet?"

Chase just laughed and shook his head. "Don't you worry your pretty little head about that. Let's just say that this won't be the last time you see me. Later baby sister." Abi stared at the mirror with a look of terror at Chase's words as he disappeared and swiftly turned on her heels and started running out of the showers, waving her hand to send her clothes back to her dorm room.

As Abi exited the showers she wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her and promptly ran into someone, causing them both to fall to the floor. As they fell, Abi felt someone pull her on top of them so that she wouldn't take the brunt of the fall. Hitting the ground, Abi instantly started apologizing.

"Oh my gosh I am…so…sorry."

Abi couldn't help but get lost in the pair of dazzling blue eyes of her person she was currently on top of. After a moment of staring, Abi shook her head to clear her mind and got off of the person she was on. Reaching out her hand to help the boy up, she instantly started stammering.

"I really am sorry. I don't usually act like that. I mean, I'm not a klutz. I watch where I'm going, well not this time but…" Abi's rant was cut off by the boy placing his hand over her mouth.

"Seriously, chill. It's no big deal. Now, if I take my hand off your mouth, are you going to start rambling or are you going to be a good little girl and stare into my gorgeous blue eyes like you were a moment ago?" Abi raised her eyebrows in embarrassment and pushed the boy's hand off her mouth and started to walk away, suddenly irritated.

Before Abi could get to far away, she felt someone grab her wrist. When she turned, she nearly went weak at the knees at the smile on the boys face.

"Hey I was just teasing. Care to start over gorgeous." Abi rolled her eyes as the boy winked at her but smiled nonetheless. Sticking her hand out, Abi giggled before saying with a straight face, "Abigail James. Please call me Abi though." The boy laughed and shook his head but stuck his hand in her own and shook it. "Garwin…Reid Garwin. Y'know Abigail was my grandmother's name. You kind of remind me of her."

Abi raised her eyebrow at what Reid said about his grandmother. She remembered Sarah telling her that he had said the same thing to her when she first met her. "Oh really? I thought your grandmother's name was Sarah," Abi said, smiling at the shocked look on Reid's face. After a moment, Reid smiled and shook his head. "I take it you know Sarah?"

"Yeah, I do. Do you seriously use that line on every girl you meet?"

"Nope. Only the really cute ones," Reid said with a tone of smugness. Abi blushed and looked down at the ground. Oh my gosh. He thinks I'm cute. Abi peeked up at Reid through her eyelashes and smiled at him. Reid saw this and noticed how red her face was and laughed. Cupping her chin, Reid forced Abi to look into his eyes and then stroked the side of her face with his other hand. "Y'know, you look very cute with your face all red like this. I can't believe I haven't noticed you in class before," Reid said softly. Abi's smiled just brightened and she pulled her chin out of Reid's hand.

"As much as I would like to stay here and chat with you Reid, I have to finish getting ready. I'm going to Nicky's with Sarah and Kate, whom I assume you know, and it's almost time for me to go," Abi said, smiling slightly at Reid's expression. "What," she asked when he started laughing.

"Let me guess, Kate and Sarah are dragging you to the bar to meet friends of theirs in the hopes that you'll stop sitting in your dorm room all the time?"

Abi frowned a bit and looked at Reid curiously. "Yeah actually. How'd you know?"

Reid just chuckled and ran a fingerless gloved hand through his hair. "I've heard nothing else from them two for about two weeks now. I'm supposed to be one of their friends but apparently we've met early. Of which I'm very glad of," Reid said seductively, taking a step closer to Abi.

"Believe me, I'm completely thrilled about it," Abi said sarcastically, laughing so Reid would know she was teasing. Reid smiled at Abi and shook his head. "Well I guess I'll let you finish getting ready. See you later Abi.

As Reid started walk away, Abi smiled and suddenly called out to him.

"Reid. REID!"

Reid stopped in his tracks and waited for Abi to catch up to him before he spoke. "Well well, I knew you couldn't resist my sexy charm," Reid said, laughing at Abi's roll of the eye.

"Whatever Reid. Anyways I was wondering…ummm," Abi suddenly felt very nervous and started stammering. Reid looked at Abi with amusement in his eyes. "You were wondering what? That if I'd allow you to have your wicked way with me? Well I most certainly will. Come on now," Reid said grabbing Abi's wrist and pulling her towards a closet. Abi pulled her wrist out of Reid's grasp.

"In your dreams, playboy."

"Always."

Abi rolled her eyes at Reid's sexy smirk and shook her head. "I was wondering if you needed a ride to Nicky's," Abi said with humor in her voice. Reid looked at Abi for a moment before smiling and nodded her head.

"I could use a ride. What time should I be at your room?"

Abi looked at a clock on the wall and then looked back at Reid. "Meet me at my room at eight." Reid raised an eyebrow at Abi and leaned against the wall. "Won't that make us late?" Abi just gave Reid a 'Do-I-Look-Like-I-Care-Look?' and shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm two doors down from Kate and Sarah. See you at eight, Garwin."

Abi smiled at Reid and started to turn and walk away when he grabbed her wrist again. Turning to look back at Reid, she suddenly felt her heart start racing when he leaned closer to her to whisper in her ear. "I am so looking forward to it, James." Winking at Abi, Reid turned and walked towards the stairs and disappeared behind its doors.

Standing in the hallway watching Reid walk away, Abi couldn't help but smile brightly. 'I may not know this guy very well but I definitely plan on learning more about him,' Abi thought to herself as she walked back to her dorm. As she entered her dorm, Abi went straight to her closet and started tearing it apart, trying to find the absolute perfect outfit for Nicky's. Pulling something out of the closet, Abi smiled to herself knowing that it would knock Reid's socks off and make her the bell of the bar.

Author's Note: Well there you go, the next chapter of the story. I hope you all don't think that I'm moving too fast with Reid and Abi. I just want to establish an intense connection with them from the beginning. And, SHOCK, Chase made an appearance. I wonder what evil he has planned. Also, I will be touching more on the relationship between Abi and Charles and eventually Abi, Charles, and Chase. Depending on how you guys feel, I might write a prequel to tell about Charles and Abi's mom. Also, five reviews=new chapter! =]

Chase: Don't you already know what I'm gonna do?

NM: Yes, but that's beside the point.

Chase: How do you figure?

NM: You just be quiet or I'll take out the whip!

Chase: Yes ma'am

NM: That's a good boy. Now tell Reid to get the handcuffs ready.

Reid: Awww Man!

NM: Don't back talk me boy or it'll be a lot worse!

Reid: Yes, ma'am

NM: God, I love having power over them. *evil laughs*

Chase: Oh shit Reid, she's doing the evil laugh.

Reid: We are so screwed!

NM: Yes you are my dears…yes you are!
