or help him but because of how angry he is going to get.

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

I don't want to see any Darkling or any other demon that might appear. I think we are in good hands because Serena would have felt it. One thing I do know, is that this is not going to be easy and it is going to take all of us to hold Reid down. Not that Sarah can't reach >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

point I am getting to is that if the Darkling is picking up on Reid's desire to have someone, it would explain Reid acting like an ass. The big question here is how can we get him away from her before he does any harm to any of us or to himself. I can try to talk to him. He might listen to me.

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

Come on, Caleb. *They all laugh.* Back to Reid. I think Chase is on to something. Before Alessa got here a few times I was out with Reid, he mentioned how lucky I was to have Serena. "He is right." I know, babe. The >>

*Val is commenting on what Chase said which makes perfect sense and things were going rather well until she says I mowed Alessa down* I did not mow her down! I tapped her with the bumper of the Hummer, Val! "Think again, Tyler." >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

he needs our help. Alessa needs our help. *I get a look from the others* That is all I have to say on that .

pulls me down the stairs where Pogue and Kate are already there with Sarah and Caleb* We are here. *Looking around the room* Just Chase and Val and then we can start. Can I say something. I know you are all pissed off at Reid, but can we remember he is our brother. Pain in the ass or not,>>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

*Serena and I are heading down to the kitchen for coffee when we hear Caleb yell for us to come down to the living room now.* I am guessing that Reid is the subject. I know he is being a pain in the ass, but he is having a hard time with all this. I feel for him, baby. *She takes my hand nearly>>

Serena hers and take a seat next to her on the couch with my drink* So, how was the visit with the Elders?

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

I know. Just be patient with him brother. *I grab the tray and pick it up* For the record, whatever the Elders want, you know we are going to do what they ask. But sometimes....*He laughs* "I know." *We both walk back into the living room. I hand out the drinks. I then hand>>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

*When Kate said to go downstairs, there is no argument considering how angry Sarah is. Once we are downstairs, Serena asks me for a coke with a splash of something in it. I know what she means.* I can use the same. Anyone else? *Hands go up and I know what to do* Got it. *I follow Pogue into >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 06/10/2024

Ewwww warts. Man, remind me not to piss off, Sarah. "Shut the hell up, turtle." You shut up, Reid-tard. "Baby boy!" I am not a baby anymore, ass! *Sarah is so mad that one of the pictures falls off the wall with a crash and glass goes everywhere*

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

Kate and Pogue. If Caleb's father hadn't willed him his power, we may not be having this conversation right now. The way that Darkling took over Chase, it took over you Reid and you became that thing. We need to be sure it is you and not the Darkling. It can change at will.

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

That was a mouthful, Val. *Trying to get Reid's attention away from Alessa for one moment* Reid you remember that time. We all felt it when someone used. Caleb thought it was you, but it was Chase. That night when Caleb ascended and got all his powers we thought we were going to lose him, Sarah, >>

150

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

No way! Not happening Chase! If you want to go down the creepy rabbit hole and chase this thing? Go right ahead. If Serena is telling us that we should leave it alone, then we should. That is enough for me. We need to listen to her. She has never been wrong before.

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

a Heartender. I heard of that before. How do I know that? *Serena glares at me. It is better I ask then Reid.*

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

*Chase says that the Darkling's mother was crazy.* That explains a lot. *Then that his father was a Heartender. Serena gets all worked up about it. I take her hand. she looks at me* "Tyler, don't you dare ask." *She knows me better than that. and if I don't Reid will* What's >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

want to hurt any of us or Alessa. *he flips me off* Look asshole, just stop. You know the Elders can see everything. *I take a breath as I watch Reid* I agree with Serena, can we a get a fucking moment of peace around here.

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 28/09/2024

*Sitting talking with Reid and Alessa, when the door barges open and Serena and I jump to our feet. Reid goes into protective mode when he see's Chase and Val. The minute Chase takes a step, Reid blocks him with a dresser. I step in front of Serena.* Reid, back down! You don't >>

Did Alatar say what this is about?

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 20/09/2024

That cat can stay right where she is. She can miss me long distance. *Everyone laughs* I am serious. Now as for Reid? Serena and I are the logical choice there. Reid won't think anything of it if we are hanging around him and Alessandra. *Looking around for Midnight.* >>

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

wouldn’t tell us this if it was not true. We go by their word. You should understand why we all feel this way. What Serena said is true. It doesn’t have to stay this way. Give us a reason to trust you. If you rather not. You’re free to go. “Tyler!” No, Reid. Her choice. She can stay, or she can go.

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

The elders said your great-great-grandfather was Cornelius Crane. The land this estate stands on was once Crane land. And you are Alessandra Crane, and you are a direct descendant of the first family to settle in Ipswich. And your family started the Daughters of Ipswich. They >

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

What? Hey Pogue! Fuck that hurts. *Serena comes up and touches my arm* You know it’s true.

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

Look dumb ass. I’ve known you for years. Been friends with you for years. Don’t do something stupid. If this was me, you’d be telling me not to open that door, even if it was to save Serena. So don’t do it. “Tyler!” *That was Caleb and that is followed up by Pogue hitting the back of my head* >>

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 19/09/2024

I agree Caleb. They are both in danger, and this is not going to end well. If the Darkling gets both of them, then what? We will have to combine our powers, and pull them both out. Or do we have another plan?

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

soup, I am outta here. I am not kidding. He goes Linda Blair on us I am gone.

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*I know that tone from before when he had a fight with a Darkling himself.* Chase, man if this is not Reid we need to tie him down before he goes after someone else. *Just then Reid turns his head at me and laughs* I fucking swear, if his head rotates and he spits out green pea>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

trust you. Reid is family. We need to know that nothing will happen to him. *Not sure what to think.*

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*I look at Serena and know she’s about tell everyone what she thinks.* We have no reason to trust you. Yes my brother Reid would argue over why I don’t trust you. It’s simple. You’re an outsider. We have no idea who or what you are. Show us. Give us something to say we can >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

Reid*We’re back. What happened ? *Looking around the room at everyone who seem to be very concerned about Reid*

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

tell the others. *I park get out and open her door. Once she’s out I stop her from going in* I’m sorry baby I yelled back there. I was just worried what might happen to you. *We walk up the walk to the house. Open the door, walking in about to shout when we see everyone around>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

She’s a what? *Thinking* I guess we know now why the Elders wanted us to help her. *I slow down as we hit the last stretch to the estate*You know the Elders would save time if they say; This girl is one of you. Help her. *Turning into the estate. Pulling up to the house. * Let’s>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*The hummer stops, she jumps out* Yes, one of my favorites. Put it on our Netflix que. *She opens the door and jumps out* Dammit Serena! Get your ass in the truck! * She picks up something, gets in and I haul ass back to the estate* What the hell were you doing? Dammit Serena it could have>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*Hauling ass out of the cornfield to get to the road, she yells at me to stop* What! *I keep driving* “Ty!” Are you kidding? With Jeepers Creepers on our ass you want me to stop? “Yes Ty Now!” *I skid the hummer to a stop* What’s wrong?

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

Back away! * I pull her back* It’s not Reid! Look! *We look at Reid who turns into the Darkling.* Go! Serena, we have to go now! *Pulling her away as that thing glares down at us*

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*She breaks away from the kiss turning around we see Reid. How the....Serena goes off. Righty so she turns to look at me* Reid, how the hell did you get ....*mid-sentence I stop. Looking around. No car. I feel a cold chill. The sky turns dark and I get a bad feeling* Serena! >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

never took it as you going against my wishes. I never thought that. It was me wanting to protect you. I love you, baby. *I take her in my arms and kiss her*

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

*Serena mentions the size of the cornfield * It looks like it grew overnight. This is the only cornfield, right? *Stops looks around as she talks about the haunted house.* It was here last night. I don’t like this. *We walk on some more* I don’t want you to think I didn’t hear what you said. I >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

laugh* What are we looking for? Just anything that might be hers? *We make a right at the end of the rows* No better. *We keep walking *

150

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

Let’s just agree to help her, and see what happens. *I turn off the hummer get out and walk around to her side, helping her out* No matter when you’re looking at a cornfield day or night, it’s creepy. *Walking hand in hand, there are rows of cornfields on both sides.* Yeah, creepy. *We both >

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

first place we saw her. *Looking around, this place gives me the creeps.*

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

baby. It’s more because I don’t want to lose you. Stupid, I know. I would feel bad if something happened to Alessa because of me. I know you have to help her, and to do that you have to go into her mind. I’ll support you, Serena. *Stopping in front of the cornfield* Here we are. The>

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

It was awful, at that time we didn’t know that Chase was good. We found out after when we found he was a descendant of Goody Pope. *Makes a right* You would think so. One thing I’ve learned, what you think something is, doesn’t always make it so. It’s not you going against me, >>

160

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

like they did Chase, she won’t have a choice. Still makes it dangerous. I know you are going to do what you must. I’ll support you as always. I just don’t have to like it. *Pulling out of the estate and down the road to the cornfield* I don’t like it, Serena.

170

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

I’m not saying to let her slip away. You wouldn’t do that, and I wouldn’t either. I know she’s running from the shadows and that Darkling and who knows what else. But you don’t have to help her at your expense, Serena. I don’t think she’s working with them by choice. If they have control of her >>

Tyler Simms @tylersimms.bsky.social · 18/09/2024

sorry. I’d rather have you here angry, then six feet under because you got sucked into her mind. No.
