Well, I kind of went through a writer's block sort of deal for Ambition but it's coming along... coming along very slowly.
Anyways, so this is what came out of me, trying to find some sort of inspiration. I've always wanted to try a sister fic.
So review and tell me what you think, or else, I might just trash it and go on with Ambition.
The story was kind of inspired by the song Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy and the songs I Knew You'd Never Fly & Stop Me Now… I'm Not Ready by Eye Alaska. Check them out, they're great songs. And these will give you a guess on what the story may be about.
FULL DISCLAIMER IN THE PROFILE | I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OF THE COVENANT
Things Are Happening
They saw it… all his friends saw it.
He knew it too.
He was depressed and lonely.
But what was Caleb Danvers to do?
Sarah left.
No matter how hard his friends tried to comfort him, or take him out to Nicky's, he'd just sit there, didn't lay his eyes on anyone, barely socialized with anyone. Not his friends or any girls that would walk pass him with a flirty smile. He would be there, just not there consciously.
"Yo, man, stop sulking and move on," his friend, Pogue, said, slapping a hand down on Caleb's back as a form of comfort. They were currently enjoying a nice outing with their other two friends, Reid and Tyler, at Nicky's. But, Caleb in his depressive state had to kill the mood every time they were out. Even Reid's using wasn't setting him off like before, and it irked Reid when he didn't nag him about it. They wanted to help and they tried to get his mind off Sarah, but she wasn't coming back, not after everything that happened with Chase. She wanted nothing of their covenant, but she was sworn to secrecy, and she vowed not to tell anyone.
"Yeah, it's been two weeks, Caleb," Reid said, who was bent over the pool table, readying his shot.
"I just-" he sighed, "I just don't know what to do." He slumped further into his chair.
"Uhh, move on," the young one, Tyler, simply said.
"It's time you do," said Kate, Pogue's lovely girlfriend.
"Try to forget all about it, Caleb," Pogue said. "I don't need you in a gloomy mood when Saturday comes around and Blake arrives."
"Who's Blake?" she asked, looking towards Pogue for answers.
"God, I love her name," Reid drawled out and stared off as he began to imagine her fierce, green eyes that had a hint of blue swimming around, her bronzed, toned body, the long flow of dark brown hair, and the vivacious smile she always wore. Oh yeah, he missed her.
"This Blake… is a—her?" she asked as she looked at the guys incredulously.
"I miss her," Tyler said, and instead of dreaming of her in a perverted way, he remembered all the trouble they got into with the guys; always causing mischief.
"Can someone tell me who this Blake girl is?!" Kate snapped.
"Calm down, Kate, Blake is my little sister. She's moving back to Ipswich," Pogue reassured her. Pogue and Kate were known for their jealous streaks, and was always the reason for their little quarrels.
"When you say little, how little?" she cocked a brow and asked.
"She's a year younger than me, almost Tyler's age," he explained to her.
"Oh, can't wait to meet her," she said.
"Me too, only two more days," Pogue grinned.
"I thought you said the covenant wasn't able to have girls?" she questioned.
"Well, they can, but it's rare to, extremely rare to," he answered her.
"Where has she been?" Kate asked.
"She's a real athletic girl, gymnast, to be exact, she's really talented, been practicing with the best coaches around the world to prepare her for the upcoming Olympics. She's currently in Russia," he said. Kate's brows heighten in amazement.
"How long has it really been?" Tyler asked.
"Almost three years," he answered.
"It's great that I'll have another girl in this pack to help me keep you boys in check," Kate said.
"Oh, you'll have a lot of help alright," Reid said, remembering the days they were younger though it seemed like the little girl was the boss of the group.
"I just can't wait to meet her, having Sarah gone really left a gap, so I'm glad to have a replacement," Kate said and a groan was heard from Caleb. "Sorry!" she said.
Half the meaning of his groan was about Sarah and the other about Blake.
The group sighed at their friend. He really was hopeless. But what could they do?
Caleb had thought he had found the perfect girl for his life and once things were good, things just had to go down hill, all because of his damn responsibility to protect the covenant and his caring attitude to guard everyone he cared deeply about. It was all Chase's fault; it was his entire power's fault, it was the covenant's fault, most of all, his own fault for dropping so much information on Sarah so quickly. She accepted it, but after the whole ordeal, she wanted nothing of it.
His friends were right, he needed to forget about her, and move on. Blake would be arriving in two days and he needed to get his act together. She was always so motherly to them, and he didn't want her to worry about him once she arrived, when she was expected to be catching up with Pogue. He didn't need to be her only attention for the beginning of her advent.
He thought maybe Blake coming home would be good for him. He will admit that he did sometimes see them potentially becoming more than friends. He loved her like a sister, but that was his excuse to tell himself because they were just like siblings. He and Pogue were practically brothers, he and the rest of the guys were, and Blake being Pogue's little sister, meant she was a sister to all of them.
To her, it was like having extra older brothers that cared about her… and to screen every guy that came near her. Caleb had to admit, it was fun scaring them off, and the others enjoyed it as well.
Blake was beautiful; he only wondered what has changed about her in the past three years.
One girl he loved walked out, and another walks right in.
He sighed. He didn't know how he was going to act. But he needed to act like everything was fine and not think about Sarah. He speculated how his relationship with Blake would start off again.
Things… happened.
