Chapter 2
“Mr. Parry, late again I see.”
“Sorry Mr. Richard.” Pogue replied atomically and tossed his late slip on his teacher’s desk.
“Well, now that Mr. Parry has decided to join us, we can officially begin.”
“Dick.” Pogue mouthed as he climbed the sections towards his usual seat by Reid and Tyler.
He stopped mid way when he started to feel the normal pulsating feeling around temple. He groaned quietly and pressed his palm against the side of his head as hundreds of emotions attacked him all at once. Boredom, anger, annoyance... the list when on and on.
This was normally why he avoided large groups of people.
“Mr. Parry, are you having a problem locating your seat?”
All at once, they turned off as everyone stopped thinking and turned their full attention towards him.
“No.” Pogue sighed as his headache passed.
He gave his teacher an annoyed look and made his way towards his usual seat next to Reid and Tyler who were also staring at him.
“Are you okay?” Tyler asked.
“I’m fine.” Pogue replied as he sat down.
Immediately his hand went back to the side of his head as the random emotions ran amuck again. The blonde girl sitting a row in front of them was terribly bored and another girl three seats away from her was upset and on the verge of tears for some reason.
“Sure you’re okay?” Tyler asked softly.
“I’ll be fine.” Pogue grumbled as he started getting his powers under control.
The heavy pounding soon turned into a gentle thump and soon the only emotions left inside of his skull where his own. Reid and Tyler were still looking at him funny. He nodded slightly and signaled that he was okay and started digging his text book out of his backpack.
“Today we will be continuing our study of Pagan rituals in the sixteen hundreds.” Mr. Richard stated loudly and begin writing on the blackboard.
“God, not another one of these...” Reid grumbled quietly as he pushed his book forwards and folded his arms over it. “This is gonna be a long hour.”
“Mm-hm.” Tyler sighed while still casting worried glances at Pogue.
“Now the Pagans believed that all life was eternal, never ending. Even in death. And it was because of that belief that they performed various rituals in order to reincarnate their dead.”
The classroom was soon filled with the sounds of pencils scratching against paper as the students started taking notes.
“One of the more famous rituals used was called “The Crimson Tome”. It was normally performed one a night when there was a full moon. Not much is known about it but in theory the ritual called for three different items in order to work properly.” Richard continued as he started scratching more notes on the blackboard.
“Bor-ring.” Reid yawned loudly.
*****************
“Now I remember why I hate history.” Reid said as the three of them exited the classroom.
“Mm-hm.” Tyler and Pogue both grunted in agreement.
“Hey, Kate’s having a party tonight.” Reid said and turned his head towards Pogue.
“And?” Pogue grumbled
Reid blinked. “You’re not going?”
“No.”
“Why not, still pissed at her?”
“Reid stop being such a prick.” Tyler groaned.
“Oh come on, it’s what I’m good at.” Reid smiled happily. “Well that and a few other things.”
Reid smiled and shifted his eyes quickly, turning them black and then back to normal again. Pogue quickly looked around them, hoping that no one noticed and then smacked Reid in his shoulder.
“Dumb ass, we’re in public!”
“Hey, who died and made you Caleb?”
Pogue growled and was about to smack Reid again when another emotion pried it’s way into his head; Fear.
He tried to focus on it and easily found it’s source... Tyler.
Pogue took a quick look over his shoulder at Tyler, who was standing behind them with his head down and then back at Reid, glaring a deep hole into him. Reid’s eyes were still on Tyler however.
After a long moment, Reid turned his gaze back towards Pogue. “So, you’re not going tonight then?”
Pogue’s demeanor softened, realizing that was the closest thing to an apology he was going to get from the blonde.
“No, that was my last class so I’m gonna head home.”
“Suit yourself.” Reid shrugged.
Pogue looked over at Tyler once again and leaned closer to Reid. “Look, if you absolutely have too use, don’t do it in front of him okay.”
Reid rolled his eyes and nodded. “Duh, I know.”
Pogue glared at him again and then moved his attention back towards Tyler who was still staring down at the floor.
“You have a fun night.” He said and patted Tyler on the shoulder, forcing the other teen to look up at him.
Tyler composed himself and nodded. “Yeah, we will.”
Pogue gave him a small wink as he slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed out towards the campus garages.
*****************
The loud rumble of his Ducati and the scenery of the open road was just what Pogue needed to get to his head back in order.
His walk across the campus was not a pleasant one, with tons of people who were thinking really loud passing him left and right. Over the painful thumping of his skull he was able to determine that at least three girls and one guy thought he was cute, five people were stressed out and Aaron Abbot glared dangerously at him while throwing tons of negative emotions Pogue’s way.
Pogue shook his head and kept his eyes on the road in front of him. He hated his new powers. He knew he’d never be able to fully control them, not even with Gorman’s firm teaching would the painful headaches ever stop.
He knew he’s never be able to stand being around a large group of people ever again...that’s why he normally avoided social stuff and moved off campus. Even though there was tons of people living in his apartment complex, he was able to tune them out easily, unlike his experience in the dorms, which was just too much for him. He could never fully tune all of the emotions out and he lost many hours of sleep from it.
He shifted gears and twisted the throttle a few times, smiling when his bike roared loudly and went faster. He loved racing around with his Ducati, even though Caleb always made fun of him for doing it.
(Caleb...)
Pogue’s heart slowly constricted inside of his chest, it always did when someone mentioned Caleb’s name. He missed him, in more ways then one. The four of them were always close, but Caleb was the only one Pogue felt really understood him. Whenever something was bothering him, Caleb would always be the first one to notice and Pogue never hide anything from him...
Well, he managed to hide one thing from Caleb... how special the other teen really was to him. Caleb was his main source of comfort since both of his parents passed away, leaving Pogue completely alone in the world when he was fifteen. He managed to get by, thanks to his powers, his parent’s trust find, and the Danvers family.
Evelyn always treated him like he was her second son and Caleb was his rock; the one who kept him in school and kept his moral up when he felt like no one gave a damn about him. So it was only a matter of time before Pogue’s feelings towards Caleb turned into more then just “brotherly”.
When the realization of these feelings dawned on him, it was only natural for him to be afraid of them. So he hid behind Kate, silently hoping that they would pass....but they didn’t. He still felt as deeply for Caleb as he did when he first fell in love with him.
(Caleb... where are you?)
Pogue snapped out of his thoughts when his eyes located something in the middle of the road. It grew larger as his bike sped closer towards it and Pogue soon saw that it was human. His bike drew closer and closer and when his eyes got a clear look at, it all of Pogue’s senses came to a screeching halt.
It was Caleb!
Pogue’s hand immediately reached for the break leaver only to discover that it wasn’t working. His finger kept pulling the leaver back but the Ducati kept it’s current speed. Pogue started to panic, he tired killing the throttle but that didn’t work either. He raised his head one more time and saw that he was only a hundred feet away from colliding with Caleb.
As his bike drew nearer, Caleb’s eyes went black and before Pogue could grab the handles, they turned sideways sharply, forcing his bike down on it’s side.
Pogue tried to hang on as best as he could but the impact knocked him off the seat and his body blindly slid across the road into a ditch. His head painfully hit the underside of his bike and if he wasn’t wearing his helmet, Pogue knew the impact would’ve been more then enough to kill him. Pain shot threw his head and down the side of his neck and that was the last conscious thing he felt before his vision slowly turned black.
“Mr. Parry, late again I see.”
“Sorry Mr. Richard.” Pogue replied atomically and tossed his late slip on his teacher’s desk.
“Well, now that Mr. Parry has decided to join us, we can officially begin.”
