"Who are you parents?"
"I told you. I'm related to you by your mother's side. My mother is Cheryl, Betty's kid." She said after thought.
Reid frowned, "Tell me the truth Izzy. It's not going to make me mad."
Izzy sighed, "Why do you want to know?"
"I just want to prove if I'm right or wrong."
"Who do you think my parents are?" She asked.
"Me and Caleb."
Chapter Seven:: Figuring Out The Truth
Caleb rolled over, his arm hitting nothing as he realized Reid still hadn't came to bed. Looking at the clock he had realized that it had only been twenty minute since he'd laid down. He sat up, grabbing for his pants.
"I'd better go see if he's okay." Caleb said to himself walking out of the room, chuckling as he could hear Tyler and Pogue talking to each other in another room. Caleb paused hearing voices from in the living room.
"Who do you think my parents are?" He heard Izzy ask.
"Me and Caleb." Reid said quickly.
Caleb froze, listening intently trying to hear every word of their conversation. All the sudden he heard movements coming from the door behind him, being distracted slightly he turned around reaching for the door.
----------
Izzy bowed her head looking down at the ground, "Um."
"Izzy?" Reid said leaning in towards her.
"Yes." She said blankly.
"Yes what?"
"Yes, you and Caleb are my parents." She sighed, looking away. ((a/n:: finally…whew…those of you who knew, I'm so proud of you…but there's still more to come.))
Reid stood up and pulled her into a hug, "You look so much like your father."
"And I act like you." Izzy said in his shoulder rolling her eyes.
"I take it you hear it a lot." Reid laughed.
"Yes, mostly by Nana." She said laughing with him.
"Let me guess, Nana is Caleb's mom?"
Izzy nodded, "Yeah. She's very picking about being called that too, she says that being called grandma, or grandmother just sounds too old."
Reid laughed a little louder, "Sounds like her."
"I called you Daddy, and Caleb is my Papa. I sort of did that on my own." Izzy said letting Reid sit next to her. "Papa hates being called that though."
"Why?"
"Makes him feel old." Izzy giggled. "I told it was Papa, or Father."
"Bet he stuck with Papa." Reid smiled, he couldn't believe this little girl was his daughter.
"Yeah." Izzy frowned.
"What's wrong?"
---------
"Who…who are you?" The burgundy girl asked shakily as the figure approached.
She could start to see dark brown hair and light eyes through the slight darkness.
"Emmy, what are you doing?" The figure asked.
Emmy gasped, "It's you. What are you doing here? Why aren't you in your own time?"
"I'm here to help you."
Emmy cried, "Why would you want to help me?"
"Because, I don't want to see Caleb or Reid hurt either."
She looked up slightly at the person in front of her, "What do I do then? How can I help Caleb and Reid stay alive?"
"Follow me." The girl turned and walked out the door, practically gliding towards it.
---------
The dark figure grew nearer to a different, the smell of his soon to be victims grew stronger.
'They're here. I can smell it.' It growled happily. 'Revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge."
Its eyes scanned, sniffing and scoping. Growling happily it flew downwards, towards a strong familiar smell.
---------
"How many hours have you worked this week?" Future Tyler asked pulling on his polo shirt.
"39 and a half, because I ended up leaving early yesterday." Future Pogue answered.
"Oh yeah. You had that doctor's appointment."
Pogue nodded, "Tyler, how can we act so normal when our younger selves could die or our best friends could?"
Tyler shrugged, shivering slightly feeling like something was staring at him. "Just think of it this way, if we're here then we didn't die. And I think Caleb and Reid can stick up for themselves."
"Yeah" Pogue shrugged.
Whoosh. Out of nowhere something black pushes Tyler back. He stumbles stepping on Pogue, but catches himself. He heard something growl and suddenly whatever it was, was gone.
"What was that?" Pogue asked steadying Tyler.
"I have no idea."
---------
"Damnit! It was the wrong ones." The dark figure shouted, its red eyes flashing.
A/N:: Surprisingly this story isn't coming to an end yet. I still have a few more chappies left in me…hehe….so far, not counting that this is ch.7 of part 2. I've written 23, I'm striving for 30. so, yep you have a little more. I told you that this story would be longer than 'Just Because'. Btw, make sure in the last chappie to look for why it's named 'Because Why?' I somehow was able to put it the phrase 'Just Because' and I'm doing the same for this one. Well, I love you all very, very, very much! And even though this story has a lot more chappies, how bout you all start giving me ideas for another caleb/reid story. Hehe.
Much Love, Be Safe, Take Care
