She stood in the pouring rain as she watched the casket be lowered into the ground. The young man put a hand on his mother's shoulder in comfort as she fell apart even more. Three other young men stood only a few feet away from them. Each of their heads hung with grievance. She on the other only came to pay her respects to the man who now laid six feet beneath the earth.

There was another funeral at hand as well not far from here. But she had no plans in attending that one. This one was hard enough as it was. She couldn't stay. As a matter of fact it was a bad idea that she was even here.

She looked down at the white rose in her hand then made her way over to the ceremony not stopping. Reid saw her first. The young woman making her way toward them. Her eyes were hidden by her hair which passed her shoulders down to the middle of her back. She had a solemn look upon her face. She gave off a different vibe though. It was something that said she was different from the rest of the others. Without saying a word Lyra looked down into the hole in the ground. She could feel five sets of eyes on her but it didn't matter. She let go of the rose in her fingertips and watched it fall upon the shiny casket below. Looking up at the woman she just nodded then turned and walked away not even bothering to look at the four young men who had curious confused looks.

"Do you know her?" Tyler asked

Caleb only shook his head no. "No."

"Well she knew your dad apparently." Pogue said

Reid looked back to where she was walking off but she was gone. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Lyra wanted to get on the first bus out of this place. But to pass the time till then she went to a small bar called Nicky's. Sitting at the bar she didn't drink, she didn't converse with anyone. She just sat there quietly staring down at her nails contemplating what she'd be doing the next few months. Sitting deep in thought she jumped when she heard a male voice speak to her.

"New around here?"

The guy sat down beside her as if her silence were and invitation.

"It's not polite to ignore someone who's talking to you." He said

Looking over at him he had brown hair that nearly touched her shoulders and was wearing a letterman's jacket. A boy fresh out of high school go figure. Lyra got up to walk away but was stopped as the young man grabbed her by the arm. Looking back at him he flinched as if he'd been hit but didn't let go.

"I didn't say I was done talking to you." He said in a sadistic tone

Lyra rolled her eyes.

"Look you should really let go of me." she said in more of a warning

"And here I was hoping we could be friends but I guess a whore like you doesn't have many friends." He snarled

"Excuse me!" Lyra said eyebrows raised

If this guy was trying to pick her up it wasn't working. As a matter of fact he had her feeling insulted and if he wasn't careful he'd get seriously bruised.

"Sorry that the truth hurts babe."

"You don't even know me you selfish little brat." She hissed

"Oh I've seen your type. You're a tease to a man's dignity."

"Tell me you are not calling yourself a man."

He gripped her arm even tighter thinking it would hurt. Yanking her arm away quickly she clenched her fist ready to hit him if he said anything else.

"Well I'm more of a man than you'll probably ever find. Plus I'll even pay if that's your concern." He said venomously

Pulling back I punched him across the face busting his nose.

"You bitch!" he exclaimed

"Real pathetic." She muttered under her breath

Turning she walked out of the bar leaving the young man who didn't even give a name sitting on the floor.

Nicky's was its usual hustle and bustle but the boys were quiet. Reid was looking over at some ditzy blonde who seemed to be all over Aaron who seemed to have a broken nose. Which was funny being he hadn't hit him yet today for being the pig he was.

"Who'd you think did it?" Tyler asked knowing Reid had seen it

"No clue but I'm sure he deserved it. Plus everyone knows I'm the player around here and he just doesn't have what it takes."

Aaron saw the two looking his way from the pool table. Making his way over to them he stopped a few feet away from them.

"There a reason you've decided to stalk us Garwin?" Abbot snarled

"I was just wondering what that luscious beauty is doing hanging around an idiot like you." Reid snapped

"Watch your mouth Garwin or else."

"Or else what?" he challenged

"Reid don't." Tyler said

But as Aaron turned and started walking away Reid's eyes glimmered black. Tyler watched as one of the balls from the pool table flung off and nearly hit Aaron but flung into the jukebox.

"Oops." Reid said with a wide grin trying not to laugh

Tyler grabbed Reid and headed for the exit. Caleb and Pogue weren't far behind.

"Tell me Reid are you just stupid or something because I'm trying to understand here." Caleb said irritated

Reid kept walking not even bothering to stop and listen to another one of Caleb's lectures about using and drawing attention to ourselves. it got old after a while hearing the same thing over and over again. With that Caleb was jut fed up all together. With a quick movement he flung Reid forward watching as he landed on his side.

"Caleb…"Pogue started

"No he still doesn't get it. Even after Chase he still has to go around acting like this." Caleb said

He sent another wave at Reid not even letting him get to his feet.

"You can't keep drawing the attention to us Reid. You're going to get caught and get us all killed and I won't let you do it. Especially since the coming fall we won't be in high school." Caleb said

Reid got up on his feet with Tyler's help and glared at Caleb.

"I get it Caleb. I just don't care or haven't you noticed yet."

"Whatever Reid. One of these days you're going to get caught and we won't be there to bail you out."

Caleb turned and went back inside the bar.

"That would be complicated since all he does is bail you out. It's like a job you don't get paid for." Tyler said trying to lighten the mood

"What a dick." Reid mumbled under his breath

"Hey is everything okay?"

Reid and Tyler looked up to notice the same blonde girl who was hanging all over Aaron hanging halfway out the door. Looking at her, she was the basic definition of lust. Right on the border of slut and whore not that he ever complained.

"Things just got better." Reid said with a grin

She smiled back innocently. He knew in the back of his mind she was far from innocent and he didn't even need a name to get her in his bed. She made her way over to him and latched onto him seductively. The night almost always ended pleasantly and more often than not the same for him. with a girl in his bed and him feeling satisfied.

P.S I don't own the Covenant
