Continue to review I love your input on the story; it makes me want to write even more when I receive it. Whether it’s positive or negative input.


Thirty minutes later Tyler walked into his room exhausted. He dropped his keys on his dresser next to his bed, and plopped his upper body on his bed releasing a sigh.

He couldn’t believe what had just happened between him and Chase, he never would have thought in a million years that could have happened. He actually once thought it would be some random person he would be making out with, not the guy who tried to kill one of his best friends.

He rose off of his bed and removed his coat, hat, and shoes then he laid back down on his bed. After the day he had he needed to rest for just a few minutes. Although not his intention he closed his eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile Caleb and Pogue were sitting at a table at Nicky’s with Kate and Sarah. All four of them were laughing and having a great time, but emotions were a little bit off in the group because there was a secret that Kate didn’t know.

“I’ll be right back guys.” Kate said as she rose from the table and headed to the ladies room.

Pogue smiled and continued to watch her until she disappeared around the corner. He returned to looking at Sarah and Caleb, and at that moment wished he hadn’t.

They were giving him a stare that he was quite use to seeing over the past few months, and he knew that he was about to get an ear full about the same subject they have been arguing about for a while.

He sighed, “I know what you two are going to say.”

“Good because I am getting tired of saying it.” Caleb told him.

“Well I’m not,” Sarah told him, “when are you going to tell Kate about your powers.”

“Sarah it’s not something that just rolls off the tongue. What am I suppose to say oh hi Kate, how are you, everything ok, oh and by the way I am a witch.”

“No just talk to her alone, and find a nice way to reveal it to her. I mean a guy cast a spell on her and almost killed her the last time, maybe it’s time to tell her so maybe she can be protected better next time.”

“Chase is dead so we don’t have to worry about him trying-“

“We don’t know that he’s dead.” Caleb interrupted him. “He could still be alive waiting for the right time to strike, especially since we have all ascended now.”

“It’s his funeral. It would be suicide to attack all four of us.”

Caleb just sighed and shook his head. “And you think he doesn’t know that. The last time he came he got extremely close to us,” he looked over at Sarah, “too close.”

“Fine I will tell her.”

“Before Christmas break.” Sarah ordered.

He jokingly held up both of his hands in defense, “Okay before Christmas break. Caleb you got a bossy girlfriend.”

Caleb just smiled.

Kate came back from the ladies room and sat back down next to Pogue. “So where’s Reid and Tyler, I haven’t seen them all day.” she asked.

“Well Tyler texted me and told me that he was tired and that he had to tutor Aaron in English so he won’t be able to make it, and as for Reid he’s right behind you.” Caleb told her.

Reid walked up to the table. He grabbed a chair from one of the tables near him and placed its back against the table so he could lean on it.

“Where have you been?” Pogue asked him.

“With the most awesome chick in the world man and she looks way better than those two.” he said pointing to Kate and Sarah.

“Funny you should say that considering last time you were willing to do anything to be with me.” Kate told him.

“Whatever, I have to go anyway.” He rose from the chair, grabbed one of Pogue’s French fries and began walking away. “Later, got to go meet my girl.”

Caleb grabbed his hand. “Hey be careful using, just because you’ve ascended doesn’t mean it slows down the deterioration of the body.”

He snatched his arm back and gave him an annoyed look. “I got it, dad.”

Caleb watched him walked away. He had been worried about Reid ever since he ascended. He sometimes worried that one day Tyler was going to call him, and tell him that Reid had aged twenty years in one night. That would be a horrible thing.

After Reid left Nicky’s he looked behind him, and to the sides of him, to make sure that no one was around. After he was sure, his eyes turned black and a motorcycle appeared in a purple flash. The Suzuki FXR150 was painted black with a thick long purple streak on both sides of the bike. “Ah my favorite colors.” he said to himself. He got on it, snapped his fingers causing a helmet to appear in a purple flash, started the bike, and drove off.

About two hours later Reid arrived at a beautiful lake. He noticed that it had stopped snowing and that the clouds were breaking, releasing the moon’s rays onto the fresh fallen snow on the ground giving it a bluish tent.

He got off his bike, took off his helmet, and walked to the edge of the lake to admire the view. Even he had to admit that this was a pretty romantic spot.

“Isn’t it beautiful.” spoke a soft female voice from behind him.

He turned to see a beautiful brunette with blue eyes walking up to him. “Not as beautiful as you are.” he told her.

“You know flattery will get you everywhere.” she told him as she stopped right in front of him.

“That’s what I was hoping for.” he grinned.

Reid couldn’t believe that this beautiful woman wanted him. He was so happy to wrap his arms around her 5’4 lean body and pull her close to him.

“So what have you been up to today?” she asked him.

“What, you mean since I left your apartment. Thinking about that ass.” he told her as he smacked it hard.

“You are so nasty.”

“I learned from the best. Now kiss me.”

She smiled at him and then pressed her lips against his. The kiss was passionate and made any chills Reid was feeling from the cold disappear.

He felt a certain extremity of his rise, and he was sure she could feel it also, which was probably why she giggled a little.

“Don’t you ever get tired?”

“Want to find out?” he said to her seductively.

He returned to kissing her under the moonlight, and this continued for several minutes until... “Ow!” Reid yelled as he pulled away from the kiss quickly. “You bit my lip.” he scolded, touching the inside of his lip with his finger and pulling out blood.

“Sorry, I guess I got a little too excited.” she said to him starring at him with apologetic eyes.

“Fine, but if you want to be rough just give me a warning next time.”

“All right, come on let’s go sit over by that tree.” she pointed to a tree that was about twenty feet from them.

They both walked over to the tree and sat underneath it. It took Reid a minute to get situated because he was very sensitive to the cold, and his butt sitting on the snow did not help the situation at all.

“So Casey, may I ask why am I sitting over here with you and letting my butt go numb.

“Because I like to torture you, and you like it too.” she told him as she took his arm and placed it around her while she laid on his chest.

“But you have an apartment with central heat.”

“Yeah, but I rather we make our own heat.”

Reid laughed at the girl he met a few months ago, and who he was falling very quickly for. He could remember seeing her the first time at Nicky’s. She was sitting there at the bar in a beautiful black dress, and at first thought she was a student at Spencer, but much to his surprise she was a twenty year old woman. The surprises came even more when she was the one who approached him first and started talking to him.

On their first date he wondered how he resisted the urge to tear off her clothes and show her a good time, but he figured that since he had turned eighteen, it was about time he changed. He didn’t want this girl to dump him for his immaturity like so many had before; he wanted to keep this one. So he decreed that as long as he was around her he would try to maintain mature behavior, but when he left her and returned to his room, Tyler was going to catch hell.

A couple of hours later the others were still at Nicky’s. Caleb was outside looking up at the stars when Sarah came up beside him and placed her arms around his arm, and leaned her head against his shoulder. “You’re thinking about your father aren’t you?” she asked him.

“Yes I am. Why did he have to will me his power Sarah? Why did mom ask him to do that?” he asked, his voice breaking from the emotions overrunning him.

“It was because they both loved you Caleb.”

“But-“

“No Caleb, no buts.” Sarah told him as she touched the side of his face softly and turned it gently towards hers. “You father loved you enough to give up his life so that you may have one, and your mother was protecting her only son. That’s what loving parent’s do.” she told him with a smile. “And I hope this doesn’t sound too harsh, but your father wasn’t living much of a life in that house. He was suffering, and at least now he’s not.”

“Yeah I know.” he said softly.

“And at least now you can concentrate on getting your education and providing a better life for your mom and yourself.”

“And for you.” he told her with a smile.

“Well I didn’t want to sound too selfish.” she joked.

“How can someone with such a big heart and willing to help me through my pain be selfish.” he told her as he starred deeply at her.

What Caleb said to her almost brought a tear to her eye. “Come on let’s go back inside.”

“I’m coming I just want to stare at the clouds and the stars for just a little bit longer.”

She nodded her head, and went back into Nicky’s.

The glow from the moon caught Caleb’s eyes and he decided to stare at it for a little bit of time. He was unaware that a man with shoulder length blonde hair was watching him from the shadows.


Over at the dorm Aaron and Tyler had been studying for at least two hours, but the thing was Aaron wasn’t progressing as quickly as he probably could.

Tyler was sitting beside Aaron at his desk trying to help him the best he could with his English, but it wasn’t going too well.

“I hate this crap!” he screamed. “Why do I need to learn about sentence fragments and run on sentences anyway?” he asked frustrated.

“Aaron it’s because you’re not just going to deal with this at Spencer, whatever college you go to they are going to require you to take English classes, no matter what your major is.

“Then I won’t go to college.”

“Well that’s your decision, but you do have to graduate from the academy, and you won’t do that until you pass English.”

He rose from his chair so quickly he sent it flying to the floor. “You know what screw this, screw Mr. Smith, and screw you!” he yelled. “I am not putting up with this crap!”

Tyler slammed his hands on his desk as he stood up. “You know what Aaron I am getting really sick of this crap everytime I see you. You treat the few friends you have like crap; you treat Kara like crap, as well as other girls you’ve dated, and now you’re treating the only person willing to help you like crap! What is with you?!” Tyler said to him angrily.

“Screw you Tyler.” he told him as he grabbed his jacket and headed for the door.

“I guess that’s what you’ll tell your parents when they find out that you failed.”

That stopped Aaron dead in his tracks, and caused him to stare at Tyler with intent to kill. “Shut up, you don’t know anything about me or my parents,” he said to him loudly, then spoke softly, “besides they could care less about me.”

He shook the emotions out of his head and was about to open the door until Tyler spoke again.

“And there it is.”

“And there’s what?” he asked as he turned to face him again, with his hand still on the doorknob.

“And there’s the reason,” he told him as he walked to the middle of the room, “why you’re such an angry teenager.” Tyler said to him with a darker tone to his voice.

“Shut up.”

“What’s wrong Aaron angry at me now because I am telling the truth?” he gave a sly smile. Tyler knew exactly what he was doing, he wanted Aaron to open up, but was it because he wanted him to stop being a pain in the butt to people, or was it because he wanted Aaron to feel the same pain he had given others over the years. He couldn’t control himself, and right now he didn’t want to.

“I said shut up!”

“No Aaron I won’t shut up. Now let’s see, you came to Spencer Academy when you were about fifthteen years old, and I can distinctly remembering you having to spend quite a bit of time in the therapist’s office. Remember I was the first person to befriend you afterwards, but that was until you turned on me. Now, since you said that your parents don’t care about you that would mean that they sent you here to get you out of their hair.” he said to him as he walked between his bed and Reid’s.

Aaron just stood there wondering who this person was talking to him because it couldn’t have been Tyler Simms. Tyler Simms would never say things like this, he was too shy, but yet it was Tyler who was speaking, and he wanted him to stop talking.

“This is the last time, shut the hell up!”

“Well since you are becoming more aggressive with your words I guess that means that I am hitting real close to home now. So what did you do Aaron to stop them from loving you? Cause a lot trouble?”

“Tyler stop it.”

“Get a girl pregnant?”

“Shut the hell up Tyler!”

“Or maybe they never loved you at all, and wanted to dispose of you.”

“SHUT UP!” he screamed at him as he pushed him so hard against the wall the vibration caused his lamp that was on the other side of his bed to fall to the floor and shatter.

Aaron pulled back his hand that was balled into a fist, and prepared to knock Tyler’s lights out.

“I guess violence is always the answer huh, Aaron. When you don’t want someone to tell the truth about your life, you beat them up. Or when someone new comes into town, and you feel like they’re upstaging you, you beat them up. Or even when you have a crush on someone, you beat them up.”

He tightened his fist as well as his hold on Tyler’s shirt. “I have NEVER,” he screamed, “hit a girl!”

“I wasn’t talking about a girl.”

That was it, Aaron was finished listening to this idiot. He sent his fist flying straight for Tyler’s face, but was surprised when he saw his fist stop inches before connecting with it. Instead he saw Tyler’s hand stopping it from progressing.”

Aaron tried to pull his hand away from Tyler, but he just held onto it tighter.

“And before you think about trying to attack me with the other hand you should know I will catch it.”

“Let me go.”

“Say please.” Tyler smiled.

Aaron looked at him with defiance. As he asked himself before who was this person in front of him. It couldn’t be Tyler Simms, but it was. Nevertheless he refused to demean himself for the likes of Tyler. He wasn’t going to say please, never.

“I said...say please.” he said to him more forcibly, tightening his grip on Aaron’s hand, causing him to scream out in pain, and fall to his knees.

“Let...me go.” he strained to say.

Tyler was surprised to see Aaron still so defiant. Even though he could crush his hand with just one squeeze; he still would not submit. Tyler released his hand, and kneeled down to meet Aaron’s eyes.

“You know Aaron I did that for a reason.”

“What to make me say please, or are you trying to get revenge on me for all the times I teased you and your pathetic friends.”

“No Aaron, I did all this to help you release the pain that’s inside of your heart. It’s consuming you and it will lead you down a dark path.”

“Really.” he spoke skeptically.

“Really. You need to know that when there’s pain in your life,” he told him as he touched his near broken hand, “there’s always someone there to help you heal.”

Tyler removed his hand from Aaron’s and he was shocked to feel that it wasn’t hurting anymore.

“How did you do that?”

“It’s an old family secret of mine.” he said to him as he stood up and held out his hand to help Aaron up.

Aaron rejected his help and rose on his own. He was through with this and couldn’t take anymore; he just wanted to get away from Tyler.

“I’m gone.” Aaron told Tyler.

“You know Aaron you don’t have to hide the truth from me, I want tell anyone.”

“What are you talking about?” Aaron asked, already know what Tyler meant, but was hoping he was talking about something else.

“That you prefer guys over girls, as a matter of fact I know that you never slept with Kara, it was Chase.” Tyler smiled.

“That’s a lie!”

“No it’s not, that’s why you tried to beat him up that time in the locker room because you were afraid he would reveal it to someone. That’s also probably the reason you beat up that boy a couple of years ago because you liked him.”

“How do you know all this?”

“I’m magical.” he smiled, walking over to him.

“You’re a freak. I need to get out of this room.”

“If you really wanted to leave you would have done it by now.” he said to him.

“Everytime I try to you open that big mouth of yours.”

Tyler sat on Reid’s bed. “Don’t give me that excuse you are here because you want me. You want me so bad you can barely contain yourself. I can feel it.” he grinned.

“It’s okay though Aaron, I want you too, I have been attracted to you for the longest time, but I always figured you were straight, glad to know I was wrong. Of course I was hoping to date you, but I guess not.”

Aaron was surprised to hear that. He never thought that Tyler was attracted to him. In a way he was more attracted to Caleb at times, but found himself wanting Tyler a lot more since he was the first person to befriend him when he first arrived. “Why not?”

“What.”

“Why can’t you date me?” Aaron asked.

He wasn’t sure what was going on, but Tyler was right about everything, it was like he was reading his mind.

“I don’t know I just can’t, he won’t let me-uh I mean I just can’t.” Tyler said correcting himself.

“Oh I see.” Aaron said sadly, but catching what Tyler was saying. Who wouldn’t let him? He wanted to ask him, but felt it best not to.

“I better go then, it’s getting late.”

Aaron was wondering could he get out of Tyler’s room since everytime he tried, something or rather, someone stopped him.

He placed his hand on the doorknob, turned it, and opened the door. He was about to walk out, but the door was pushed shut by Tyler’s hand. Aaron yet again sighed because he couldn’t seem to get out of that damn room. He turned to face him. “What is it now, Dr. Phil?” he joked.

Tyler stared at Aaron blankly, which sort of freaked him out. “What-“ Before Aaron could speak Tyler grabbed his throat tightly, and began kissing him passionately.

Aaron was shocked and turned on at the same time. He didn’t know if he wanted to embrace or fight it, but he decided to give into the former. “I thought he wouldn’t let you.” he said pulling out of the kiss.

“Screw him, he’s weak.”

Tyler took Aaron’s arms in one hand and pinned them against the door while kissing him. He grinded himself roughly into Aaron, causing him to feel pain.

“Tyler stop, you’re hurting me.”

“You like it.”

“No I don’t.”

Tyler didn’t reply he just continued to grind him causing Aaron to yell out in pain. “TYLER STOP!” He then said softly, “Please.”

All of a sudden Tyler grabbed his head in pain causing him to release Aaron.

“I’m sorry.” Tyler spoke weakly. “Please go Aaron, please.” he pleaded.

Aaron didn’t waste anytime, he grabbed his coat and bolted out of the door, it slamming shut behind him.

“What’s happening to me?” Tyler asked as he fell to his knees.


Back at the lake Reid and Casey was still sitting under the tree talking to each other.

“Wow it’s getting late.” Reid said as he looked at his watch. “I better get going.”

“You sure you don’t want to come back to my place?” she asked.

“As much as I want to I need to attend classes tomorrow, or Tyler will never let me live it down.”

“All right handsome,” she said to him as they both stood up, “I will see you later on.”

“What about you?”

“I want to stay her for a bit longer, I love it out here.”

“All right then, later. Don’t stay out too late.” he said to her as he kissed her.

“I won’t.”

He walked over to his motorcycle, gave her a smile before placing his helmet on, and drove off.

“You can come out now, he’s gone.” she said into the air.

Behind her the same man who was spying on Caleb appeared behind her. “Why didn’t you kill him?” he spoke in a deep tone.

“Because I don’t want to kill him, I have other plans for him, patience is everything.” she told him as she walked off.

“Do you love him?” he asked.

“Love is irrelevant.”

She turned to him and smiled. Her eyes glowed white and she faded away.

He scoffed as she left the scene. “Such a beautiful lake, I will have to bury them here.” he chuckled as he faded away.

At the dorm Tyler was in his bed huddled under the covers extremely confused by what had happened. It was as if he was another person. He wanted to stop himself, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. “Oh Chase I wish you were here?” he whispered to himself.

He closed his eyes and tried to force himself to sleep, but he was startled when he felt someone wrap an arm around his waist.

“WHAT!” he jumped out bed.

“Did I scare you?”

“Chase! How did you get here?”

“You called me.”

“Oh. Well I’m not in the mood for anything.”

“That’s okay, I just want to hold you while you sleep I promise, and I will be gone before Reid arrives, please.” he said as he pulled the covers back.

Tyler saw Chase was dressed in a muscle shirt and shorts, which compared to his t-shirt and pants, made him feel conservative.

“Please.” he said again.

“Ugh, don’t say that word.” he said as he got into bed.

“Just close your eyes and sleep, angel.” Chase smiled.

Tyler felt Chase’s arm wrap around his waist and his body press up against his. He felt him caress his hair and that made him feel so good. He closed his eyes and drifted asleep.
