(CC POV)
We continued in silence after he apologized. The first thing I did was look up at the sky, the clouds seem to get darker each time I come out here. This morning, they were white. When I came out to get lunch for us all, they were gray. Now it looks like the heavens were wanting to rip the sky open and let all hell loose. I then look at Jinxx, He seemed just as dazed as he was inside. His eyes look a bit clouded though. Could he be --? Nah, come on CC; you've known him for the past five years...and besides there's no such thing as magic.
We walked in silence until the bus was far behind us, then he froze. He stared ahead of us, I couldn't see what he was looking at. Though he was looking at something that held his attention for quiet a long time.Then wind picked up out of nowhere.

(Jinxx POV)
We were half way to where I normally stop to think whenever we're in Mexico, when I saw him. Reign. His golden curly hair was blowing in the wind. His muddy hazel eyes were whited over then returned to normal as the wind picked up and died suddenly. I huffed a sigh as I tore my gaze from him.
"Stay here." I told CC in a rush.
He just stood there with a confused look on his face, but nodded. I ran up to Reign.
"Hi Alex." I said, using his cover name...which is what I refuse to use with the guys.
"That's all? All I get is a 'hi' and my cover name? We've been friends for centuries and haven't seen each other since last century...and all you have to say is hi?" He answered in a raspy monotone bass voice.
"How have you been?" I asked, irritatedly.
"I've--"He stopped himself.
I looked over my shoulder and noticed CC talking to the others. They then were crossing the street over to us.
"Shit...I told them I would be fine." I muttered to myself. "Listen, Reign, whatever it is you're here for; I can't help you. I'm busy."
he huffed a sigh.

(Jake POV)
"Do they know about what you are?" the blonde hair guy, Jinxxis talking to, asked as we came up.
"Of course, I'm their Rhythm guitarist and strings." Jinxx answered.
"That's not what I was asking, Jeremy." The guys said, its seems like they're friends. "Do they know what you are?" He asked as he emphasis on the 'what'.
We got confused. Jinxx tensed up, as if he knew what the guy meant. "No." He said stiffly. "And you better not let it slip on what we are. I'll tell them when I'm ready."
Okay, now I'm feeling like we're on an episode of Supernatural and Jinxx is the main character of the episode.
The guy just laughed. "Why? I've been telling everyone I met for centuries. Haven't you, Jeremy?" he asked.
Jinxx then pulled the guy up by the collar of his blue shirt. He said something out of anger, but we couldn't hear it due to rolling thunder. The guy laughed after the thunder died off.
"Afraid to show your friends what you can do?"
"They aren't ready."
"How do you know that?" the guy asked. " They could be."
"Then they'll tell me...you don't make their decisions for them."Jinxx said, I'm not sure if he's defending us or not.
"Temper, temper...is this how you greet all your old friends?" the guy asked.
"Only when they go dark, like you....you piece of shit." Jinxx said harshly.
What does he mean by that: only when they go dark?
"You better leave us, before I make you." Jinxx had continued to hold the guys shirt as he spoke.
"Oh...that's right...that's one of your--" the guy cut himself off as he looked at the four of us. "Talents...isn't it..pretending to make people do what you say."

(Jinxx POV)
"Well, let me show you one of my new talents." Reign told me.
"Don't you dare! Not in front of them!" I roared, I felt my eyes cloud over; I hear thunder roaring with me as I said this.
Reign laughed. "So you get to show off to your friends but I can't?" He asked. "How cruel."
His eyes clouded over and I felt like I just broken my arm..I screamed in pain as I released him, while holding my right arm.
"You bastard...what did you do?" I heard Andy yell.
"All of you cover your eyes." I yelled at them.
They looked at me in shock and confusion, but did as instructed. I tore my gaze from them to look at Reign. His eyes were clouded out still and was looking at each of them.
"Keep them covered." I instructed as Reign went from one member to the next.
After he blinked several times, he looked at me. "Did you enjoy that?" He asked. "that was his talent."
His?...Oh he means Tallies' power...his true love that he was supposed to meet nine years ago. But he died before hand...that was when Reign went dark, because of his death.
I glared at him as I felt my eyes whited out completely. I have to do something...but what? I can't use wind against him...that's one of the elements he could use...I know.
I looked at him and he got caught in my hypnosis. I planted an image of all the people he told me who knew what he was. I was thankful he told me over the years who they were and what they looked like. As I made them fear him and started calling him a witch and that he should be burned for ruining their lives...I felt myself go all out white eyed as I felt rain start to pour, getting everyone drench within seconds and thunder start to constantly roar. The last thing I heard was one of the guys calling my name.
Damn...I used too much of my power too soon...it was supposed to happen in a progression.
"I'm fine..." I said weakly before passing out.

(CC's POV)
Somewhere between them talking, the guy running away in horror and the sudden rainstorm, Jinxx started to fall to his side.
"Jinxx!" I yelled as I ran to him.
"I'm fine..." I hear Jinxx whisper weakly, when the thunder stopped.
I got to him in time to see his eyes turn from pure white back to the blue eyes that I know. His eyes then closed fully, as the storm cleared to a blue sky in matter of seconds of his eyes closing.
"What the hell...?" I said as I stared at Jinxx in horror.
"What the hell was that?" Ashley asked, looking up into the now crystal clear bue sky.
"I have no idea." Andy answered.
"Guys...Something's wrong with Jinxx." I said, drawing all three of their attention to me.
"What do you mean?" Jake asked asd he came over.
"His eyes...when I caught him..his eyes changed color."
Andy laughed. "What?"
"His eyes changed color...from pure white to his normal blue eyes."
"CC, I think you caught a cold from the sudden rainstorm we had." Ashley said. "Come on, let's get back to the bus...before we're all sick."
