Disclaimer: I wish I was the brilliant mind behind The Covenant, but sadly, I am not. So please, use your brain, I do not own any part of the movie or plot.
Author's note:
This is mostly just my mind running wild with a really cool sequel. There are many ideas out there and I am simply adding another one. This chapter is a little quick, but I was just trying to keep it in the "movie" spirit. The Covenant started out quick and kept going and i hope to continue that trend in my fanfic. Ok enough talking for now.

I, Jezabelle Williams, sat in my 1986 blue Ford Mustang, starring up at the sprawling Spencer Academy. Old magic flowed through these lands, I could feel it soak into my veins like a beautiful drug. I breathed it in and could almost see wisps of the shining magic float through the air. But I knew this magic was tainted with Ipswich magic. How ironic that the person, or people, I had been chasing these past six months would lead me to here, the land of my families rival, the Sons of Ipswich.

Kate Tunney and Sarah Wenham pulled me through the throngs of people at the old warehouse. I had been told that it was the parties where everything seemed to begin. Kate had met her long time boyfriend, Pogue, at her first party in Freshman year, and Sarah had met her Caleb in the same situation just four months ago.
I had a single dorm beside Sarah and Kate's room and we had quickly become friends in just the few days I had been at Spencer. I enjoined her privacy and was thankful for it. Myr studies were very different from those at the Academy and would bring much unwanted attention my way.
I grabbed a beer bottle and twisted the top off. The jagged edges left my fingers slightly raw. A group of four boys pushed their way towards us.
"Aww, our boys are coming." Kate smiled and ran towards a tall muscular boy with shoulder length blonde hair.
Sarah wove her arms around the boy with the poise of a leader. He had short black hair and such a gentle smile when he looked at Sarah. The normal introductions were made and I finally met the much talked about Caleb and Pogue along with their two younger friends Reid and Tyler. Tyler looked around the crowd as if he was looking for the quickest escape. Reid's blue eyes slowly looked over my body. I partly cursed and thanked myself for wearing such an "out there" outfit. I had on a short blue plaid skirt and matching blue Converse. My tank top conveniently revealed my prominent chest and the small Celtic knot over my heart.
Out of habit, I started to play with the loan blue streak in my dark red hair. Of course it was all completely fake, but I wished my hair naturally grew like that in order to spare it the damaging effects of dye.
"These four are the Sons of Ipswich, the originally families who settled this part of Massachusetts." Kate stated this comment as if it should be met with ooh's and ahh's.
My stomach plummeted, "Oh really?" I took a huge swig of my beer. I was such a lightweight with alcohol. I already had two and the effects were beginning. Magic pulsated between these boys. It almost became over whelming for me and Reid was beginning to get on my last nerve.
"You think we could go outside? It's getting a little crowded in here." Tyler yelled over the noise.
"Sounds great," without hesitating, I headed for the back door. The cool fall air was refreshing on my face. I chugged the rest of the bottle which was a good three quarters full.
"Damn, we got us a party girl!" Pogue gave me an approving look.
"Kate, we have to get going," Sarah looked around at the group, "Need a ride Jezie?" This was Sarah's and Kate's new nickname for me.
A menacing looking man stood by a motorcycle and had caught my attention. I almost missed Sarah's question, but it snapped me back to normalcy. "I'll be fine," but just as I said that, my legs decided to temporarily turn to jell-o and I swaggered slightly.
Reid laughed, "I'll take her back to the dormitory, don't worry."
Sarah and Kate said their goodnights to their boyfriends. They were going on a three week school trip to Greece and had to leave tomorrow. Almost half the school was going so it was going to be quiet around Spencer Academy, at least I hoped so. The two girls honked as they drove by.
My attention had been pulled back to the man by the bikes, this time, he noticed my looks and I finally recognized the group. He was a Salem boy, from my home town, and this one was not known for being nice.
He sauntered towards us, "God why now?" I mumbled as I focused on the gravel.
"Who is that?" Caleb asked. I really did not want to have to answer that question.
"Belle Baby, what are you doing here?"
I plastered on a fake smile and looked up into the orange eyes of Jason Roddick, "You didn't hear? I transferred to Spencer."
"Why? You're old home got too boring? How could you have left, I was there." He feigned getting shot in the heart, I secretly wished it was true.
"Maybe that's why she left," I heard Reid mumble behind me. Bad idea, I thought.
Jason's eyes seemed to glow brighter for a moment and he took a deep breathe. A warning growl spilled out from him, "What do you think you are doing?" Having a werewolf for an alliance could come in handy at times, but not when their noises could detect any scent.
"Not now Jason, lets take this to the woods." My hands came up both in a protective manor and a "calm down" gesture. I could almost feel uncertainty and confusion roll off the boys behind me.
"These are Ipswich boys, Belle, how could you? Have you forgotten all your teachings," I could tell Jason was having a hard time caging the beast within.
"Jason. Woods. Now." I pointed towards the thick trees lining the warehouse parking lot.
"Oh I get it, they don't know who you are do they? What do you think they would do if they found out? Would they still be on your side?" Jason was treading on dangerous ground. I had only just met the Sons of Ipswich and everything was already ruined thanks to Jason.
Caleb grabbed my arm and spun me around, hard, to face him, "What is going on?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"I'll explain, just not now. Let me get Jason out of here." Caleb hesitated for a moment, but then let me go.
"Do you want to turn out like your sisters?" I could hear the sneer in Jason's voice.
When the four boys gasped and Caleb took a step back, I knew my eyes had grown black. I turned back towards the idiot lupine. A crackling light formed around my clenched fists as power surged through me. My arm flew up to shoot a ball of energy at Jason's chest and when it made contact, he flew fifty feet back. He scrambled to his feet, ran to his bike where he threw his helmet, and spun his tires as he drove to get away.
I was channeling too much power. I could feel it start to attack my own body with no way of escape. Would these be my last moments? Had my temper finally caused me to kill myself with own powers? I blamed it on the alcohol but knew I was using it only for an excuse. Four years with powers and I still can't seem to control them.
Finally, the universe seemed to aline itself back to its normal self and my breathing was under control. In a daze, I was dragged to a black hummer where I vaguely heard Reid hand his keys over to Caleb so he could sit with Tyler and I in the back seat, but that was my last moment of consciousness for the night.
