Power of Love

Thirteen

After watching Pogue's girlfriend being taken away to the nearest hospital in an ambulance, Jessica walked back to her dorm room to wait for Caleb. She was worried, and it was evident for her that this was a curse made by whomever or whatever attacked her. She also sensed that it was related to the darken Caleb saw in her visions.

The person using power somehow managed to get closer to her friends, so she dialed Dawn's number on her cellphone.

After hearing three rings, Dawn finally answered.

"Dawn, are you alright? Where are you?" Jessica asked with a worried tone of voice.

"Yes, I am fine. I'm tutoring in the library. Is everything okay?" Dawn replied.

"Everything is fine. I was just worried. I forgot that you tutor during the evenings a couple of days a week."

Dawn and Jessica exchanged a few new words, and then they hung up the phone. Jessica was relieved that her friend was alright. She paced back and forth inside her room as she waited.

There was a knock on the door, and she knew who it was. She walked to it and opened it. When she saw Caleb, she hugged him.

"Oh, Caleb, I'm so scared," she said, placing her head against his chest. She felt when his hand embraced her in a hug, and that's when she felt some tears run down her face.

"We should head to the hospital," Caleb suggested. Jessica nodded her head.

"Did you tell Pogue? Is he there?" she asked, knowing that her brother was going to be more worried than her.

"Jesse, Pogue had an accident," Caleb replied, making Jessica look at him with a confused expression.

"What do you mean he had an accident?" Jessica said, starting to freak out. Her brother was the only family she had left, and she couldn't lose him too.

Her heart raced a million beats per minute when she waited for Caleb's answer.

"I told him about Kate, he left my place in a hurry. I tried to stop him, but you know how stubborn he is. He was attacked. He is in the hospital where Kate is," he explained. She couldn't believe it.

"I want to see him," she said, shouting. She was nervous, angry, and worried.

"We will, but please calm down. I can't have something happening to you too," Caleb said, hugging one of the most precious people in his life.

She pushed him softly and backed away.

"Calm down? I can't, Caleb. He is the only family I have left. I'm scared for him, for Kate and even for you. Why is this happening to us?" she said, crying. She couldn't hold her tears any longer. She was frustrated, and she hated the person messing with them. Whoever it was, it was winning by taking them one by one.

"He is not going to get away with this, I promise."

"What do you mean with him? Caleb? Do you know who it is?" she asked.

"Pogue and I did some research before we met at my house," he said. Jessica looked at him to hear the end of it, but he wasn't talking.

"Who is it?" she asked in a demanding tone of voice.

"Chase Collins," he said after much hesitation.

"What?"

"Chase is one of us, he is the fifth son of Ipswich," Caleb replied, regretting every word spoken. He didn't want to worry Jessica more than she already was. He didn't want her to do something against Chase because she was going to get herself killed.
