P.S. I DO NOT OWN NOTHING FROM THE COVENANT... just my OC's.

--Chapter 1--
--Her Life is Over--

Charlotte Parker thought her life was over. She stood there, all alone. Motionless and gazing at the four caskets that held her mother Janice, her father Michael, and her two sisters Holly and Emma; which was at least fifteen feet in front of her. Charlotte or Charlie, is what she likes to be called, lost her whole family in a horrible pile up on the highway.

But the thing was, it also could have been her laying in a casket next to them. Michael and Janice planned a trip for the family to go up in the Hampton's for the weekend, a few weeks after school started. Charlie was packed and ready to go, but she got called into work at CVS, because someone called in sick, and since she was fairly new, she couldn't say no.

Charlie told her family goodbye and planned to meet them up there the next day. That night, as she was stocking items on the shelves, two detectives walked in and told her what happened. She didn't believe them at first, but when she turned on the little TV in the employee break room, the accident was all over the news.

She broke down, then after her boss excused her from work, then the detectives took Charlie to identify the bodies. She was able to identify her parents and Holly, but Emma was a little hard. Her body was badly burned. The only thing that proved it was Emma, was her gold necklace around her neck with a charm that read 'Baby Sister' on it. Charlie was the one who gave it to her a few years ago.

After all that, she didn't know what to do or who to call. She was alone and had nowhere to go. A few hours later, she called up her best friend Amanda and her boyfriend Daniel to meet her at the police station. When they got there, Charlie told them what had happened, and both of them were in shock, but they stayed with her until the detectives could get a hold of her grandparents in Florida and her aunt in Massachusetts.

The next day, her grandparents Charlotte and Leo, arrived at the police station, then took Charlie to the hotel with them. She refused to step foot in her house. There was nothing left for her. Charlie wanted her family back and all of her stuff, including the material things, didn't matter anymore. So she stayed away.

The head detective got a hold of Charlie's aunt Laura, but she wouldn't be able to make it to New York until the day of the funerals, because she was stuck in a few meetings in Paris and then in London

----

Charlie was the only one at the funeral parlor, because she got there a half an hour before everyone, and stood there waiting for her aunt Laura to show up or anyone to show up.

Twenty minutes later, Charlie felt someone grabbing her arm. She spun around and saw Daniel with a sad smile on his face. She didn't say anything to him, she just hugged him and buried her face in his chest.

"You okay?" he whispered.

"Yeah." she nodded.

"How long have you been here?"

"A while." she broke from the hug and looked around. "Where's Amanda?"

"Well... Babe, you know how my sister is when she gets ready to go somewhere and she was taking way to long. She's gonna ride with my parents."

"Oh, okay."

Daniel looked at the four caskets in a row. "How are they doing the sevice?"

"Combine all of them together."

"What about when they get buried?"

"At the Ocean View Cemetery, in Staten Island... they have three slots ready for them." she paused to take a deep breath. "My parents will share one, with my mom on top." a few tears rolled down her cheeks, then Daniel wiped them away with his thumbs. "Holly will be on the left and Emma on the right."

"Oh." he nodded.

Five minutes later, both Charlie and Daniel heard someone say "Charlotte?" both of them turned around and saw a woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes. "Is that you, Charlotte?" she asked again.

She nodded. "Yeah."

The woman walked up to her and hugged her. "I haven't seen you since you were a little girl." Charlie just nodded. "Since you were three." then the woman let go, and backed up to look at her. "I'm your Aunt Laura."

"Oh." she paused. "Hi."

"I'm going to miss my baby sister."

"Yeah, me too." Charlie paused. "Both of them." then she turned to look at Daniel. "Um... this is my boyfriend, Daniel."

"Nice to meet you." he said, politely and holding out his hand.

She shook it and smiled. "Laura Garwin." he just nodded and smiled back as she let go of his hand. Seconds later, a man walked up to them. Laura turned to him. "Honey, this is my niece Charlotte and her boyfriend Daniel." she paused. "Charlotte... Daniel, this is my husband Joseph."

Hi." Charlie waved.

"I'm sorry about your... losses, Charlotte."

"Thank you... and just call me Charlie."

"Charlie?" Laura asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah, I like it and people don't get me confused with Grandma."

"Then 'Charlie' it is." Joseph nodded, smiling at her.

"Too bad." Laura paused. "You're cousin Reid wasn't able to make it."

"Why not?" Charlie asked.

"He has mandatory swimming practice." Laura paused. "But it's only for the three weeks of school, so they can get used to being in the water and swimming again, since they were on summer break."

"Cool." she nodded.

"So has my mother discussed your living arrangements?"

Charlie gave Laura a funny look, raising her eyebrow. "What living arrangements?"

"After the funeral, you're coming to live with us in Massachusetts."

"Nobody told me." she shook her head. "Why do I have to move?"

"In Janice's will, which states that in the event of something happening to her or Michael and they're unable to take care of you kids, they appointed Uncle Joseph and I, to be your guardians until the age of eighteen."

"Really?"

Laura nodded. "Yes... I can show you a copy, if you'd like."

"No, no. That's fine... I believe you."

"Okay." Laura smiled. "We're going to sit down."

"All right." Charlie gave her aunt and uncle a weak smile, then they went to sit in the front.

Daniel turned to Charlie. "You're leaving me?"

"I guess." she shrugged. "I'm gonna have to since I'm only seventeen, I don't think I have a choice." he frowned at her. ""I'm sorry, Dan, can we talk about this later?" he nodded, then sat down in one of the pews.

A few minutes later, Amanda walked in and gave Charlie a hug. "How you holding up?"

"It's hard to say, right now." she shook her head as they let go of each other.

Amanda looked at Daniel, who looked like he was pouting. "What's wrong with you, Dan?"

"Charlie's leaving me." he said, crossing his arms acrossed his chest.

Amanda looked at her best friend. "What's he talking about?"

Out of the corner of Charlie's eye, she saw her grandparents walking up to her. "I'll explain later." Amanda nodded, then sat down next to Daniel. Seconds later, Leo gave Charlie a hug. "Hi, Grandpa."

"Hi... how are you doing?"

"Okay, for now." he let her go, then she looked at Charlotte. "Aunt Laura and Uncle Joseph are here."

"Where?"

"In the front."

Charlotte nodded, then her and Leo went to the front to sit with Laura and Joseph.

The service at the funeral parlor, for all four of them, took about two and a half hours. When they took the caskets to the cemetery, the service there took less than an hour. After it was all over and the caskets were in their designated spots in the ground, Charlie was standing there staring down, thinking that her life was over.
