summary: follows the movie timeline, but obviously AU. ReidxOCxChase.
Caleb has a twin sister. She has a secret that even she doesn't know until it saves her life.
She is attracted to bad boys. And this attraction may be her ultimate downfall.
Will she side with good or bad?

warning: rated M for a reason. language, smut, you know... all the goods.
The sex is relatively nondescript. Short and sweet.
But that's my way of warning you that it pops up.

disclaimer: I obviously don't own the Covenant or anything related to the movie. I could only wish.

I have most of the important sections of this particular story written and arranged in the correct order.
I'm just working on the gaps.
But reviews help motivate. Positive reviews, that is.
Criticize me if you will, but please be constructive.

Sugar Skulls

...Prologue...

"You think you can take me? Well, then come on! Now's your chance.." She sounded different. It was almost like she was growling as she spoke. Her voice came from deep within her throat and rolled across her tongue before entering his ears. He knew this wouldn't be easy.

He still couldn't believe that he lost her. Despite his constant warnings to everyone, she had never stopped. Reid was a saint compared to her recent actions. It was bad enough knowing that she managed to hide most of her powers from them but it's baffling how they had grown so strong. Imagine their surprise when they found out that she had inherited a fraction of the power that only the eldest sons were supposed to inhabit... but they decided that was not completely impossible. Afterall, Lyra was Caleb's twin.

"Well, as shocking as that sounds, it kinda makes sense." Caleb seemed relatively calm, all things considered.

"How does that make sense, Caleb?" Reid snapped. He didn't mean it, he just didn't know how to react, especially if Caleb was hiding something from them.

"We're twins, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"We were Siamese."

"The lamest Siamese twins ever. We were attached by our pinky fingers." Lyra threw in, waving her little finger as she said the last part.

Caleb seemed almost embarrassed. "It was an easy seperation."

At first the boys just stared at the twins for a second before Reid bust out laughing. "You have got to be kidding me."

"And that's why we didn't tell anybody." Caleb said rolling his eyes and turning his back for a minute.

Pogue looked at Caleb and Lyra like he just debunked Einstein's theory of relativity. "So, what? Are you saying some of your powers transferred to her?"

"I don't know," he shrugged slightly. "Maybe that's why she got them in the first place, but I think they just kind of developed on their own, too."

"I don't suppose we can consult the book on this one." Tyler already knew the answer but voiced the obvious anyway.

"But mine aren't as strong as your guys' powers."

"And who knows if she'll even ascend like us."

"We just have to wait it out." She paused for a minute and decided to ease up the tension a bit. "Maybe I will and my powers will explode and I'll be more powerful than all you chumps combined!" She punched Pogue in the shoulder and stuck her tongue out at Tyler.

"So who was born first?"

"Wouldn't you like to know, Baby Boy? We'll just have to wait and see." And with that, she walked away.

All right, folks. Please let me know if you enjoyed it or not.
It was short, but it's a prologue. Being short is it's job.
Hope to hear from you.
