The Return of a Friend:
"Oh my god." Tyler Simms, the youngest son of Ipswich, said in disbelief.
Caleb looked up and said, "What?"
Tyler pointed to the door, "Is that who I think it is?"
Caleb looked where Tyler was pointing, "It is…I think."
The woman they were talking about walked over to them, "My, my, you boys have grown."
"Kalista!" Tyler was up and hugging her.
Kalista Montgomery smiled up at him, "How are you?"
"I'm good, you?"
"Wonderful."
Kalista looked at Caleb and said, "Well big brother are you going to give me a hug?"
"Of course." He drew her into his arms and hugged her.
Sarah said, "You have a sister?"
Kalista looked over at the blonde-haired woman then said, "Who is this?" She smiled up at Caleb as she pulled out of his arms.
Caleb said, "This is my girlfriend Sarah Wenham."
"Hi Sarah, I'm Kalista Montgomery."
"But you just called him big brother?"
"Oh yeah that's because I've known the boys since we were all in diapers."
"Where's your sister?"
Kalista said, "Why baby boy do we still have a crush on my little sister?"
Tyler shook his head and said, "No, I just wanted to know where she was. You two are normally attached at the hip."
"She's staying in Salem to finish out high school. I finally convinced my dad that I wanted to spend my last year of high school with my best friends."
"Kalista?"
Kalista turned and smiled, "Pogue." She jumped into his arms. "It's so good to see you."
"Good to see you too." He said
"I'm your girlfriend! You can't just walk away from me." A voice from behind Pogue said. When Kate saw Kalista, who was still in Pogue's arms, she said, "Who the hell are you?"
"Kalista Montgomery." Kalista looked up at Pogue and said, "I'm taking it, that's yours."
"Yeah." Pogue said.
Kalista nodded and said, "Where's Blondie?"
"Right here." Kalista turned and jumped from Pogue's arms to Reid's. "Damn girl you filled out nicely."
Kalista smacked his arm, "I think I'm just going to that take that as a compliment."
"Is your sister as wonderfully developed as her sister?"
"Touch my sister and I'll kill you. And don't think that I can't." Kalista said
Sarah looked amused and Caleb said, "Kalista's really protective over her little sister."
"Like you are with everyone else?" She asked smiling up at him. He just leaned down and kissed her.
Reid made gagging noise, "Kalista, come on, play pool with me and Tyler."
"Sure." Kalista walked over to the pool table.
"Kalista Montgomery? Well, I say it's a pleasure to have you back in Ipswich."
Kalista said, "Aaron if you don't want to lose something vital then I suggest that you put your eyes back in your head and keep your hands to yourself."
"What are you going to do?"
"I really don't have to do anything. I have four willing boys who will be more then glad to kick your ass."
Reid slung his arm over Kalista's shoulder, "Yeah Abbot, bring it on. I've really been waiting for a reason to kick your ass."
"Try it Garwin."
"Really?" Reid went towards him
Kalista pushed against Reid's chest, "Hey, he isn't worth it. Come lets just play pool, I really don't feel like getting into a fight my first night back."
Reid looked at Kalista, "For you, since I like you so much.""Thank you."
Pogue came over, "Mind if I get in on the game?"
"Sure. You and Kalista verse me and Reid." Tyler said with a grin.
Kalista said, "Alright, we win, Reid you don't hit on me once."
"And if we win?"
"I'll give you the thing you wanted since we were kids."
"You'll kiss me?"
"One kiss, but that's if you win and since me and Pogue are going to win, I wouldn't hold your breath."
"Okay." Reid said
Sarah and Caleb found their way over to the pool table. "Come on, Kalista."
Caleb said, "Reid, I think you're losing."
Reid lined up his shot and his eyes flames over black before he hit the ball, "Hey!" Kalista yelled, "That isn't fair, you cheated."
Sarah said, "You know?"
"I told you, I've been friends with the boys since we were in diapers." She leaned closer to Sarah and said, "Plus it does help that I also have powers."
Caleb said, "Trust me, Reid only got grabby once before she put a spell on him. That was hilarious."
"The fact that I got slapped by anyone I asked out, I don't think it was that funny."
"You were thirteen, it did you good." Kalista said.
Tyler said, "Guess you aren't going to hit on her."
"We won." Reid said
Kalista said, "You cheated so me and Pogue automatically won." She smiled as she put her pool stick down.
Reid huffed and said, "Fine, I won't hit on you."
Kalista looked at the time. "I got to be heading back to the dorms. I want to meet my new roommate."
"What room number?"
"364." Kalista said
Pogue said, "That's next to me and across from Tyler and Reid."
"Wonderful, I'll see you later." She hugged them and turned to Sarah, "It was really nice to meet you."
"You too."
"You'll have to stop by one night. I have tons of embarrassing stories of all four boys." Kalista headed out the door.
Pogue followed her a minute later, "You mind if I join you? Kate's giving me a headache and I was wondering if we could catch up."
"Yeah, sure."
They climbed on to the back of Pogue's bike, leaving her 2006 Jeep Liberty sitting in the parking lot. Kalista looked around noticing that not much has changed in the three years she had been gone. As they were driving, she noticed that the Putnam Barn was in ashes and saved it to ask Pogue later. As they pulled up to Spencer Academy's dorms, she slid from the back of his bike and they headed up to her room. She let him in and noticed that the other side of the room was blank.
They both sat on her bed and she said, "What happened to the Putnam Barn?""The 5th bloodline didn't die out in Salem. John Putnam's desendent came here and wanted to kill Caleb and take his powers
Kalista said, "That's right, Caleb's birthday was 2 months ago."
"Chase, the other one, put a creation spell on Kate, made me wreak my bike, and kidnapped Sarah to make sure Caleb did what he wanted."
"I was wondering about those scars on your forehead."
"When Caleb ascended, it still wasn't enough, so Caleb's father willed him his power."
"Oh, my god."
"We think he's dead, but there was no body found in the barns ashes." Pogue said shrugging his shoulders
"So that's how Sarah knows?"
"Yeah."
Kalista nodded and said, "Does Kate know…about the real Sons of Ipswich and what they are?"
"No, I didn't tell her."
"How did you explain how she was in the hospital?"
"It was exactly like the Dr told Sarah; she was bitten by a spider and had a severe allergic reaction." They were silent for a minute before Pogue said, "Maybe it was a good thing I didn't tell her."
"Why's that?"
Pogue was leaning against her headboard, so Kalista rested her head on his shoulder, "Why is that?"
"Because maybe on some deep level I know she wouldn't be able to handle it."
"Pogue?"
"Hmmm?"
"I'm glad I'm back."
"I'm glad you're back too." He said
They both ended up falling asleep on her bed, wrapped in each other's arms. That's where Caleb and Sarah found them the next morning. When the found the door was locked and Caleb used his powers to get them in, Sarah smiled and Caleb could see the idea's just turning in her head. Over the last 2 months, Kate had become somewhat of a bitch and not Sarah's favorite person in the world. So Sarah had started sleeping at Caleb's house with him.
Sarah said, "They are so adorable together."
"Don't waste your time. I've been trying to get them to go out since Pogue discovered she was a girl when she started to grow at twelfe."
"See the only problem with that is that you're not a woman. We know how to get two people together, and most of it's already done for me. I mean look, they already know each other really well and there is obviously chemistry there, they only need a push in the right direction." Sarah grinned at Caleb before walking over to Kalista and shaking her shoulder, "Come on girly, get up."
Kalista moaned a little bit and rolled over, "What time is it?"
"Around nine."
Kalista nodded, turning over to push Pogue's shoulder, "Pogue, get up."
Pogue opened his eyes and took in his surroundings, "Shit, did I fall asleep here?""Yeah."
Pogue looked up and saw Caleb and Sarah standing there with smirks. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I'm taking Kalista shopping, where we can get to know each other a little better." Sarah said while she grabbed Caleb's keys and credit card without him knowing. "Now boys, we'll see you later tonight at Nicky's so if you'll excuse us."
"Alright we're leaving. We're going to stop by Reid and Tyler's room." Caleb said leaning down to kiss her lips.
Sarah nodded and Pogue said, "I need to stop next door and change."
Sarah waited until both of the boys left, "You need to hurry up because sooner or later Caleb's gonna notice a couple things missing from his pockets."
"Right." Kalista changed quickly into low-rise jeans and a black Metallica tee. "I'm ready." The girls headed down to Caleb's car and got in.
"I noticed there was nothing on one side of the room, no roommate?"
"No. What's your dorm number?" Kalista asked Sarah as they drove out of the parking lot.
"I don't really have one. I'm supposed to be rooming with Kate but she's been really bitchy so I'm staying at Caleb's."
"For a big mansion, isn't it really cozy?"
"Yeah. Caleb's room over looks the garden and it's so beautiful."
"I use to stay over his house all the time. The six of us…well it was really only 4 of us that got into real trouble."
"Four?"
"Me, Caleb, Pogue, and Reid. There's six of us including my sister Ella, and Tyler, but when they were younger they really weren't into getting into trouble."
"I can imagine that from Tyler."
Kalista said, "I remember this one time Me, Caleb, Pogue, and Reid were up on the balcony. They had just gotten their powers and thought that they could do anything. So they were all gonna jump off the balcony and figured, what the hell, we'll learn to fly."
"Did they get hurt or did they fly?""Neither, Evelyn caught us before they could try. She put the four of us in time out; I can still remember Reid complaining that he was too old to be put in timeout."
"That sounds like something Reid would say." Sarah said as they pulled up to the mall.
Sarah's cell went off and Kalista said, "I bet you that's Caleb."
Sarah opened the phone, "Hello."
"You wouldn't happen to know were my car mysteriously disappeared to, would you?"
Kalista could hear the amusement in his voice. She reached over and grabbed the phone from Sarah and said, "Oh Caleb, who are you kidding. Your car is fine, it will be fine, and so we're hanging up now." Kalista said shutting the phone.
Sarah looked at Kalista and said, "Where to first?"
I hope you like this, it's my first shot at a Covenant fan fiction. I had watched the movie once and now I'm hooked on it. I'll admit, I love to pause the movie when Caleb and Pogue walk out of the locker room in their tiny little speedo's. That's really got to be my favorite part of the movie. A special thanks to Bitch Goddess for helping me with this. You've been wonderful, thanks so much for all the help. Anyways, there's more coming so please review and tell me what you think.
