Completely  new chapter except  for the end enjoy. Next part we meet Drea!

For months things were rocky and Georgie  spent little time with the Stone's  other than Olive.  She didn't  want to be in the way plus the family was fighting. They were fighting  a lot.

Her home seemed to be a safe haven when these fights happened  especially  for the children who stayed there often even when Georgie  was at work. 

So she wasn't  surprised when she came home one day to the two kids sitting  on her couch  quietly  watching How To Train Your Dragon on her TV and eating her ice cream. "Your parents fight  again?" Georgie  asks while pulling her makeup apron off to put in the washer.

Olive just nods, "Mom, wants to split up with dad, but we don't  want that! We do admit  Dad is a bit crazy now, but it's well explained! Tell her Cal." Olive says and Cal just sighs.

"We have these things that us 828ers call, callings, it's a voice in our head, and if we don't  follow them there are consequences." Cal says with a shudder, and Georgie just slowly  puts her hand on his shoulder squeezing it reassuringly. She still wasn't  a kid person, but these two needed her.

"What kind of consequences  Cal?" Georgie  asks quietly  and Cal pauses the television  for a minute looking  at Georgie, and exposing a bit of charred skin and Georgie  grimaces. 

"This happens for no reason, and all I hear is to save them… In my dreams I see people being tested on… people like us." Cal says quietly and Georgie  nods. She didn't  quite believe all this, but if Cal was hurt because  of it. She would do anything  to help.

"Is there anything  I  can do to help?" Georgie  asks and Cal eyes immediately  look up at Georgie, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Yeah I  need someone to drive me. I can give you directions  but I need a driver." Cal says and Georgie  sighs she was going  to be in so much trouble,  but she trusted the kid.

"Alright come on you two let's  go." Georgie  says and Cal smiles knowing  he was going  to be able to sleep at night again soon.

……….

A bomb! Georgie  and Olive both cover their heads as they took cover in Georgie's  car. Cal in Georgie's arms. Georgie  panics were the others okay! Was everyone out? She knew Ben had made it out, but what about  Michaela and Jared?

So apparently  they were supposed  to come here because  Ben had whatever calling  Cal had as well, but Georgie  didn't  think it would be that dangerous. They had saved the people, but at what cost? 

Sirens started blaring  and Ben made his way to Georgie's  car his being  damaged from the bomb. "Georgie, we have to get out of here now! Michaela is going  to the hospital. She's  fine, but Jared got a good part of the debris." Ben says and Georgie  nods slowly as she starts her car praying  that the old hunk of  junk would work. 

She never felt more like a criminal  she knew the police and news didn't  understand, but always hightailing it out of there.

And this wasn't  the last time either…
……..

Grace was pregnant, Georgie  could feel it, not only that, but Grace  had been acting  differently lately  and seemed to be gaining  weight. Did Grace know yet? She had too right Georgie may have good intuition  due to her empathic abilities, but she couldn't  know before  the person actually  carrying  the child right?

Georgie couldn't  help, but look at Grace in confusion as she ate dinner with her and Olive one night. There was an abnormal silence  as they ate the lasagna Grace  had made. Each person  in there own thoughts.

That is when Cal came down. "Olive, help me build my dragon model!" The boy calls out looking at his sister hopefully. The teenage girls just smiles as she finishes and quickly  nods walking  over to Cal before  even being  excused.

This left Georgie  and Grace together. "Grace can I ask you something?"  Georgie  asks cautiously and the older woman just nods her head looking  a bit worried.

"I've  been having  a weird  feeling  for about a month  and it only happens when I'm  around you…" Georgie  starts slowly  and Grace just gives her a look of confusion.

"Please don't  tell me you're  developing  callings too!" The mother asks with a groan and Georgie  immediately shook her head in horror  she would hate it if she had callings they seem horrible.

"No, no, no I've  always been able to tell when something  is different,  and this is one of those times… Grace, are you pregnant…" Georgie  asks timidly she didn't  want to offend her friend in any way.

Grace just looks down and sighs before  nodding. "Yeah, I am and I'm  thrilled the only  thing I'm  worried  about is…" Grace started, and Georgie  instantly  knew what Grace was worried about.

"It's  Ben's!" Georgie says resolutely and Grace looks at her curiously before  getting  the far off looking  Georgie  and her dogs knew oh so well.

"Yep definitely  Ben's!" Grace agreed taking  in breaths that she must have held. Georgie  just groans she hated the callings.

……..

A few months  later Georgie  awoke to a bag of chips being  crunched on, in the living  room which startled her. First off she never kept chips in the house unless she knew Olive  or Cal was coming  over and second of all it was three in the morning.

She walks out of her bedroom  quietly, her two pups following  behind carefully.  As she walked past her guest room door noticing that it was opened  when it should have been closed, she gazed in to see Cal asleep there.

She next entered her living room to find her blonde haired friend Michaela standing  in front  of a middle aged man who was eating pork rinds in her house… "What the heck is going  on!" Georgie  asks glaring at Michaela  she usually  wouldn't  care, but it was very early in the morning and Georgie  should still be asleep.

"Another calling." Michaela says and Georgie  crosses her arms and sighs sitting  on her recliner letting her two puppies come up on her lap.

"Well, since you woke me up, explain  to me why there is a weird man in my house at three in the morning and why my house feels like it's hotter than Arizona in here?" Georgie  asks, noting how heated the room was.

Georgie, this is Zeke, he's  one of us. He went camping  last year and what seems to be a few days for him was a year. And sorry  for turning up the heat Zeke was freezing  to death so we needed to keep him warm." Michaela explains  and Georgie  just looks between them.

"Why my house?" Georgie  asks curiously  as she went to the kitchen to make some coffee. She wouldn't  get back to sleep that night.

"Jared is keeping  an eye on my apartment  and Grace didn't  feel comfortable with him. So I  brought  him to the next safest place. I'm sorry for waking  you." Michaela says and Georgie  just sighs.

"You're  fine, it sounds  like you had a crazy night.  You know where the guest room is, go get some rest." Georgie  told her friend who gave a grateful  nod.

"Thanks G!" Michaela says gratefully, leading  Zeke to the guest bedroom as Georgie slumps in her chair waiting  for the beeper that told her that her coffee is ready.

…….

"Another bomb threat just perfect." Georgie  thought to herself as she paces her house it was late in the afternoon on one nice March day. Another calling  had taken place hours before  as she and Michaela  had lunch together.

Michaela was in a pretty crazy case including  someone  like them they called Griffin, but like Adrien he was pretty  crazy, and was planning  to blow up one of the most crowded places in New York]

Which leaves Georgie worried and on edge. So when her phone rings she instantly  answers it. She hated callings and she hated that they kept on bringing  back the crazy people. 
Georgie's phone rang one evening  while she was working  on finding  a new allegory  book to find the curse in. Georgie  just sighs hoping  it wasn't Tessa or one of her sisters. Georgie  did not feel like talking with them right now. That's  when she saw Ben's number and sighs in relief. "Hello?" Georgie  asks as she hears Cal's voice on the line.

"Uhm hi Miss Georgie, um mom asked if you could come over for a bit the twelve year old said as Georgie  smiles and grabs her bag and leashes for her pups.

"Yeah, of course I'll  head over in a few. Georgie  says as she hangs up and starts heading to the Stone's house. Her two pups followed  in stride as they quickly followed her to the Stone's house. 

"Hey bud, where's  your  mom?" Georgie  asks when Cal answered the door and sighs.

"Mom actually  didn't  need you… I just didn't  know  if you would come if I  asked you to." Cal admits as Georgie  gave him a smile  she didn't  understand  why Cal was embarrassed  to  call her over everyone else in that family did.

"I will always come. So little dude, what did you need me for?" Georgie  asks Cal who smiled before frowning  and grabbing Georgie's hand. 

"I need your help up in my room'' the twelve year old says as Georgie  just nods following  Cal up to his room where it looked as if stage five hurricane had hit it.  Cal just looks at Georgie  in embarrassment.  "I'm  sorry about the mess… but you really  need to see this." Cal says sadly  a few stray tears falling. 

Georgie  just looks at the boy knowing this was serious otherwise his room wouldn't  look like he had torn through it. She looks back at Cal who  ran over to his desk and grabbed  a drawing  he had seen of the future. 

""Miss Georgie  we're  gonna die! This drawing is what the calling  showed me!" Cal says quietly  as Georgie  observes the photo December 6th, 2024. Three tombstones sitting on a grassy land each one reading a Stone's  name. Georgie  gulped  quietly looking at the picture. Of course there had to be a death date, of course. The callings couldn't  make anything  easy.

"Oh Cal, shh calm down its okay, there has to be some way to stop that from happening. You know we won't  let that happen right." Georgie  asks, pulling the boy in for a hug. She remembers Olive  at that age and she wished Cal didn't  have to worry just like Olive  didn't need to worry.

Georgie  looks around  the room desperately  searching  for something  to  occupy the boy. Hey Cal, do you wanna build that model rocket you've been talking  about?" Georgie  asks as Cal immediately  looks at her.

"Yeah  sure, but what about  my family, how will I tell them?" Cal asks as Georgie sighs, she didn't  know it seemed to be bad news  upon bad news  these days. 

"I'll  tell your mom and sister you  tell your dad, aunt and soon to be uncle okay, but not right now bud. Right now let's  do something  you want to do. They're not going  to be home until another half hour anyways." Georgie  told the boy trying  to find a place to sit in the messy room. "You know what, let's  go to my house. I have a dragon model at my house that you left. We could build that." Georgie  offers as Cal nods.

"That sounds fun, come on, Miss Georgie, let's go." Cal says getting  his coat as Georgie  picks up his room quickly  and follows  the boy down the stairs, the pups following  once again. Georgie  just sighs, why did things just have to keep getting  worse?  She couldn't  think to long on that though for Cal's sake she would deal with that later.

……..

"I win again! No one beats me at Uno!" Cal says as Georgie  chuckles for the truth she was going easy on him. When it was her and Lily or Olive it was basically  a fight till the death.

"You just got lucky." Georgie  told him as Cal snickers, shuffling the deck of cards for another round.  

"I bet you ten bucks I'll beat you again this time Cal says as Georgie  nods, quickly glancing to Cal's drawing that he seemed to have forgotten  about for the moment. 

"It's  a bet." Georgie  says if losing ten dollars kept him occupied then it was worth  it." That's when Georgie  heard a knock on her door. "I'll  be right back bud." Georgie  told him taking the cards with her so he wouldn't  try to cheat.  

"Hey Georgie,  is Cal here by any chance?" Grace asks worriedly  and Georgie  scolds herself for not leaving  a note.

"Yeah he's  here, he had a bit of a rough day so we made that dragon model of his, and now were playing Uno." Georgie  told Grace who smiles and nods. 

"Thanks  for taking  care of him. Can we come in.?" Grace asks as Georgie  nods unblocking  the door  letting  her friends in.

"Actually, we're  just going  to go back home. Ben says as the other 828ers nod at this point Cal had noticed gulped and went to follow them. I'm  going  home to mom, but you and Olive should  totally  stay and talk to Georgie." Cal says as Grace just looks to Georgie  in confusion.  

"Yes, of course I have something to  tell both of you. Bye Cal." Georgie  says making both Olive and Grace look at her like she was crazy.

"Miss, Georgie, what's  going  on?" Olive asks quietly as Georgie  sighs a picture  magically  spawning in her hand, of course she had to be the bearer of bad news

"Well… Cal didn't  want to tell you this, but he had a calling that was really disturbing  to  him. Um… you may want to sit down." Georgie  says after the two comply Georgie  hands them the drawing. "This is what he saw." Georgie  told Grace and Olive who looked in disbelief. 

"December 5th, 2024. We can't  lose them again Georgie  we can't" Grace and Olive  says as Georgie  sighs she knew they couldn't.

"And it won't, there has to be a way to break this curse. And I won't  stop until I find it and that is a promise. Georgie  tells both of them. She had to help them. It was what she was sent here to do. And she was going  to  help the best of her abilities. She wasn't  going to let anyone die

Gosh she hated the calling
