Reid and Tyler screeched down the road toward the hospital. Tyler let Reid drive, as he was frantic to see what was happening with their friends. They hadn't seen or heard from Anna after she told them to head back to the dance, which had both of them a little worried. They came to an abrupt stop outside the hospital doors, and they both jumped out as soon as the engine died. As they walked to the door, they saw Caleb's car parked a few meters away from theirs.

"Thank God it's all over." Tyler whispered to Reid as they ran in the emergency doors. They saw Caleb and Sarah standing in the hallway between their friends' two rooms, smiling happily while hugging each other. Tyler and Reid ran up to them, hugging them both simultaneously.

"Everyone's awake. They just got a check up, so we can go in and see them." Sarah said with a glorious smile. Reid didn't hesitate, as he went in first and headed straight to Anna's bed. They were both sitting upright in their beds, looking happy that their ordeal was over.

"Hey Reid…" Pogue greeted him, but Reid just gave him wave and carried on walking.

"Morning Reid." Anna smiled at him. Reid came to a halt next to her bed, and put his hand on her cheek. The next moment; his lips crashed into hers, causing silence to fall over everyone. He pulled away slowly, with a sly smiled on his face.

"Reid? When the hell did this happen?" Pogue asked, sounding shocked to say the least.

"Oh, well this has probably been going on for a while. Just how long, is another story." Caleb joked, just walking in the door with Sarah and Tyler. Reid stood up straight and looked at the others all smiling slyly at him.

"Aw, come on. All of you expected it, don't be so surprised." Reid clicked his tongue and sat on the available chair next to Anna's bed. The rest laughed at him as his cheeks started to flush red.

"Hey, your cuts aren't healing up. Neither are yours, Pogue. Can't you guys fix them?" Tyler asked, sounding a little worried.

"Yeah we can, we just thought its best not to. The whole school probably knows about us already, and it would be weird if we pitched back at school completely fine." Pogue answered, seemingly happy with his battle scars.

"And Kate's bites would've clearly up naturally already, if they were normal spiders." Anna added.

Kate appeared at the door, wearing her robe that Sarah had brought her, and she walked over to Pogue's bed.

"Hey handsome. I heard you were in here too. What happened?" She asked, perching herself on the edge of his bed.

"Ah, nothing. I guess my bike finally decided to get back at me." Pogue smiled, lifting his head to kiss her. Kate then turned to Anna, and frowned.

"You too? Don't tell me you crashed into him? I know you don't get on, but…" Kate started.

"No, I don't think I would be able to do that anyway. It was a separate accident altogether. I crashed into a truck, and its cargo didn't like my car much."

Kate nodded, and then caught sight of Reid holding Anna's hand.

"Ah, so you two did finally get it together. I knew it; just remember what I told you though, Anna…"

"Most unpredictable guy in the group, but he does grow on you…" Anna smiled, reiterating Kate's words, which made Reid smile.

"Yeah, you bet your ass I'm unpredictable…" Reid said proudly, standing up and kissing Anna again. Wolf whistles erupted from the guys, and the girls started cooing. Reid pulled back, red spots in his cheeks.

"Come on! Shut up guys!" Reid shouted at them, which started another bout of teasing.


And so we reached the end of "Black Magic". I hope you guys picked up all the little hints of Anna's covenant and their magic, because there might be a sequel in the works if I have the time. Also, you might have noticed any spelling mistakes or stuff of the like, you may note me with the offending words. :D

I appreciate all the love, reviews are much appreciated if you have the time.
