I know it's been a while since I updated this story, I had this Chapter sitting on my computer for a while, I just never finished writing it but today I had time so I decided 'why not.' Hope ya like it. :)
“Chase, why are we going to this thing?” I asked as we walked out of the dorms and to the student lot.
“Because we need to find that Covenant for dad.” Chase told me. “Now you think you can work your girly magic on that kid?” I looked where Chase was pointing and saw a boy with sandy blonde hair getting ready to get into his car.
“No problem.” I nodded as I walked over to the car, Chase following behind me. “Hey.” The kid looked up at me shyly, making me smirk. “Are you heading over to the dells?”
“Uh…Yeah.” The boy stuttered.
“Do you think you could give my brother and me a ride? Our car’s kinda not running right now.” I gave him a small flirty smirk, causing him to just nod nervously. Chase and I moved to the other side of the car, Chase sliding into the back while I got into the passenger seat. The kid started the car and drove away from the school, toward where I guessed the Dells were.
“So what’s your name?” Chase asked.
“Evan Michaels.” The kid answered.
“You a senior?” I asked, turning and looking up at him.
“Yeah, you?” Evan asked, sparing me a glance.
“Yeah. We just transferred. Wanted to see the beauty of Ipswich.” I told him. Evan took his eyes off the road for a few moments to look over at me, which was just enough time to not see the deer that had run out into the middle of the road.
“Shit!” Chase’s eyes instantly went black and we just missed the deer that was now behind us, looking at the car confused as Chase brought it to a halt on the side of the road.
“What the hell was that?” Evan asked, turning to look back at the deer, seeing Chase’s black eyes at the same time. “What the hell are you?!”
“Not good.” I muttered under my breath as Evan moved to get out of the car. Chase’s eyes flashed black again and the door was locked.
“What the fuck?! What the fuck are you?” Evan was now freaking out, banging on the door, trying to get out.
“Chase, let him out.” I said calmly, turning to my brother.
“He saw me Kris. He’ll tell people and then we’ll be screwed.” Chase said, eyes still black.
“Chase…” I started to protest.
“Let me out of here. You’re freaks, both of you!” Evan yelled, still banging on the door. My eyes instantly went black at his words as I sent a shock through his body. Evan yelled for a few minutes before I finally let up.
“We’re not freaks.” I said, my voice holding a dangerous tone. Before he could say anything, I saw the light go out in his eyes and turned to Chase who was still looking at him with ebony eyes.
“We need to get out of here.” Chase said. He closed his eyes and the next second, we were all still in the car but it was now parked in the middle of the woods.
“Chase, what did you do?” I asked, still looking at Evan. I was shocked that Chase could kill him that easily.
“He would’ve told on us Kris. I was protecting you, like I promised I would.” Chase said, leaning forward and putting his hand on my cheek. I sighed and nodded. I knew that Chase only did this stuff to protect me. We both got out of the car and started walking through the woods. I didn’t know where we were but I guessed that Chase knew because a few minutes later, I saw the large fire and then all the people dancing around and talking.
“So where are these sons?” I asked as we walked through the throngs of people.
“Not here yet.” Chase said, looking around. “But I can feel that they’re close by.” It was still weird that Chase seemed super sensitive to the power, more so than I was. But I didn’t question him. Never.
“There they are.” Chase said, pointing to the group of four boys that was quickly approaching a pair of girls.
‘They’re cute.’ I thought to myself. ‘Especially that one on the end.’
“I can handle this.” I said, walking down toward the group.
“You know, Sarah was my Grandmother’s name.” The blonde boy said to the blonde girl that I guess he was trying to pick up. “You kind of remind me of her.”
‘Real smooth Blondie.’ I said to myself.
“Doesn’t have the best pick up lines, does he?” I asked the brunette boy I had come to stand next to as I watch the sad scene unfold. The boy laughed and shook his head.
“Not tonight.” He said, turning to look at me. My breath caught as I met the most intense blue eyes I’d ever seen. They looked like they were peering into my soul. “Tyler Simms.” He introduced himself.
“Kris Collins.” I said; smile still firmly in place even under the intense gaze.
“Reid Garwin.” The blonde boy from before said, coming to stand beside Tyler.
“Nice pick up line over there.” I told him, making him glare at Tyler who was still laughing. “Just a word of advice. Never compare a girl you’re trying to pick up to a relative.”
“I’m sure he’ll remember that.” Tyler said, still laughing.
“Shut up baby boy.” Reid muttered angrily.
“Baby boy?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.
“I’m the youngest of our little group.” Tyler told me.
“That actually sounds kinda cute.” I said and I saw Tyler’s cheeks tinge pink.
“These posers make me want to puke.” I turned to see a boy facing off with one of the other sons whose name I didn’t catch.
“Is that right?” Reid asked, moving to hit the other kid who said it. The taller son held his arm out, holding Reid back.
“I think you owe Kira an apology.” The boy they were facing off with said.
“Who is that?” I asked Tyler.
“Aaron Abbot. He likes fighting with our group.” Tyler explained.
“And who’s the guy he’s facing off with?” I asked again.
“Caleb Danvers. He’s the oldest of our group.” Tyler said as I nodded.
“Actually, I think Kira owes Sarah an apology.” Caleb said, pointing at the girls who were behind Aaron. Aaron gave a fake smile before pushing Caleb back. Before any damage could be done, however, my brother stepped in between them.
“You were being kind of bitchy.” Chase said to the girl with curly reddish-brown hair. It looked like Chase and the guy Aaron were going to get into a fight; but thankfully, one of the guy’s friends threw up all over his back.
“That’s just nasty.” I muttered under my breath. The guy Reid was laughing so I guessed that it wasn’t totally accidental. From the look Caleb was giving Reid, I knew I was right.
“Hey Guys.” The D.J.’s voice broke the commotion around us. “Duke just called he said that he saw three cop cars just down Old Dell road.” Everyone started to scatter, trying to make it back to their cars before they were caught by the cops. I followed the sons and my brother off the beach and into the woods where mostly everyone had parked their cars. Thankfully it was far away from where Chase and l had left Evan.
“Do you have a ride?” I looked up to see Tyler looking down at me.
“Actually no.” I muttered, looking away. “My ride kinda booked already.”
“We can give you a ride.” The girl, I remembered hearing someone call her Kate, said.
“That would be great.” I smiled over at her.
“I could use a lift.” Chase said, looking up from talking to Caleb.
“Too bad lame.” I said, sticking my tongue out at him.
“Why Krissy, I am hurt by your words.” Chase said, holding a hand to his heart in mock-hurt.
“You have feelings?” I asked.
“You two know each other?” Tyler asked.
“Yeah, he’s my brother.” I answered. Kate and the other girl Sarah stopped beside some rusted little car which I guessed belonged to Sarah.
“You two coming?” Kate asked. Chase and I nodded and piled into the car. Sarah tried to start the car but it just didn’t seem to work. I could hear the police cars coming closer and closer.
“My car won’t start.” Sarah yelled out to the sons.
“Hop in with us.” Tyler called back.
“I can’t just leave it here.” Sarah protested.
“I can fix it.” Reid called. A second later, the blonde was standing beside the car, the hood propped up. I couldn’t really see him from where I was sitting but it didn’t look like he even touched anything. He then closed the hood and told Sarah to try starting the car again. The car roared to life and with a small ‘thank you’ Sarah quickly drove away from the sound of the cops.
“So you two are related?” Sarah asked.
“Yep, Kris is my little sister.” Chase said, ruffling my hair.
“Jackass.” I muttered, pushing his hand away and fixing my hair.
“Why’d you two come here?” Kate asked.
“Didn’t like Hastings very much.” I answered. “Decided to try Spenser out.”
“It’s probably not much different.” Kate said. “Parties, parties, homework, police, parties.”
“Sounds entertaining.” Chase said.
“Yeah. Hastings parties never got broken up by cops.” I laughed lightly. Sarah pulled up to the dorms and parked in the small lot full of very expensive cars. We all got out of Sarah’s car, which looked weird among all the fancy cars. I followed them into the building and walked up to the second floor where I guessed Sarah and Kate’s room was. My room was on this floor as well, Room 212 while Chase’s was one floor up, 312.
“This is us.” Kate said as she and Sarah stopped outside the door. Chase reached up and touched Kate’s shoulder, confusing me. I could see Sarah and Kate were confused and shocked as well. Chase then pulled his hand back, holding a spider between his two fingers.
“Oh my god!” Kate yelled. Sarah laughed and shushed her. “I hate spiders.” Chase simply dropped it onto the ground and smushed it with his heel. I don’t know what happened next but all of a sudden, we all had plans to go shopping the next day. I didn’t remember agreeing to it but just nodded as Chase led me down to my room. I had it to myself which was really awesome because I liked my privacy. Especially with my powers, I wasn’t sure if I would need to be alone or not. I opened the door and walked inside, Chase following me in.
“Come on, I’m tired.” I complained, pulling a pair of sweatpants and a tank top out of my dresser drawer.
“Don’t act innocent.” Chase said, taking my wrist in his hand and turning me so I was looking at him.
“What do you mean?” I asked, confused.
“You know the plan with the sons.” Chase said. “I know what you felt when you talked to the youngest son, Tyler.”
“What are you talking about Chase?” I asked, still confused.
“Kris, the plan is to get close, not fall for them.” Chase told me. “Trick them into letting us into their little group, but do not develop emotional ties to them.”
“I wasn’t planning on it.” I promised him.
“I just don’t want you to get hurt.” Chase said, pushing my hair out of my face. “You know what we’re here to do and you know it has to be done. For dad.”
“I know.” I just nodded.
