Covenant Seduction
Summary: Maddie is Caleb's little sister who has been gifted with the Power but also a little something extra. Having been gone during the Chase fiasco, no one bothers to tell her about it so all she's aware of is her brother ascending and now has their father's power. So when the fifth son returns for payback by the time the next in line is due to ascend, Maddie finds herself stuck at a crossroad for what she wants and what she needs.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Covenant characters although it would be nice to own those boys.
A/N: I came up with a better idea then what I had for my other Covenant story so I decided to go with this instead.

"Caleb, watch your sister for a minute." Evelyn called as she followed her husband. She kept an eye on the four and six year olds however. "What is it?"
"I found something." William said. "In the book." Evelyn's eyes shot to him in an instant. He was only thirty-two and yet was aged beyond that due to the affects of his power using.
"What? Please do not say it has something to do with Maddie." Evelyn said. "It's bad enough you wait until after Caleb is born to tell me that he…"
"I know." William said. "This is something that you must be aware of." Evelyn fell silent. "I have told you that Caleb will receive his power at thirteen."
"Yes." Evelyn said.
"And we must wait until then to find out if Madison does as well." William said. Evelyn nodded. "She might very well receive them. In the book it states that every hundred years, the first daughter born to one of the covenant will receive…" His voice lowered.
"What they talking about?" Maddie asked, looking up from the blocks she had to regard her brother as he tried to eavesdrop on their parents.
"I think they're talking about you." Caleb answered.
"WHAT?!" Evelyn nearly yelled. "That is ridiculous! Absurd!"
"True." William said.
"That cannot be true!" Evelyn said. "It would make sense if she gained it as she gained the rest of her powers but to have it at birth?"
"Have we ever truly been able to say 'no' to Maddie easily?" William asked.
"A little girl cannot have the power to seduce!" Evelyn said. They looked out at the children. Caleb had turned his attention to the plate of cookies he had. Maddie was watching him rather intently. She spoke to him and he turned to her. Evelyn's eyebrow rose as she watched her son hand over the plate and then head in their direction. "Caleb, why did you just give Maddie those cookies when I told you she can't have them?"
"I…I don't know, momma." Caleb said. "She asked for them and I…I just couldn't not do it." William gave Evelyn an 'I told you so' look and she glared at him. She walked over to Maddie and took the cookies from her.
"But mommy…Caleb gaved them to me." Maddie said.
"I know but you're not allowed to have them." Evelyn said, deliberately looking away from the little girl. "I've told you that already." Maddie huffed and pouted and Evelyn found it hard to not hand the plate back to her. She returned it to Caleb and looked back at her husband. She was afraid to admit it but she was beginning to believe he was right.

She finally had to admit to it. Her little girl truly did have the ability to seduce just about anyone. Boys seemed to be easier if the phone calls from the school were any indication to that. Maddie had boys fighting for her and giving her things she wanted and she was only eight years old!! Caleb and his friends were luckily able to avoid it but other boys in their grade sure weren't.
"I know you get a kick out of getting things this way but it's not right." Evelyn said.
"But it's so much easier." Maddie said.
"I don't care." Evelyn said. "You are not to use in order to get things, do I make myself clear."
"But…" Maddie said.
"Madison Annalise Danvers, do I make myself clear?" Evelyn said.
"Yes mother." Maddie said.
"Good…now I don't want anymore phone calls from the school telling me that you're the cause of a fight or that boys are practically tripping over themselves to do stuff for you." Evelyn said. "Understood?"
"Yes." Maddie said.
"Good." Evelyn said. "Go play with your brother."
"But he's got Pogue, Reid and Tyler over." Maddie said. "Why would he want to have me around?"
"Because I said so." Evelyn said. "Go." Maddie walked away. Evelyn sighed and reached for a bottle. With her daughter's behaviour on top of that of her husband's…well things didn't seem to be looking good.

"Well that was quite a birthday…didn't expect the whole cake to catch on fire." Reid said, looking at the burnt cake with an almost longing look.
"I said I was sorry." Maddie said. "You guys never warned me of how strong the power would be."
"Well we never thought you'd get it." Pogue said. "I mean, after all, you are a girl." Caleb was making frantic gestures behind Maddie to try and get Pogue not to say what he had just said. Since his attempt to silence his friend had failed, Caleb smacked himself in the forehead as his sister's eyes went black and Pogue was thrown up into the air, landing in a nearby tree.
"Maddie…" Caleb nearly whined.
"Well if he hadn't called me a girl then I never would have done it." Maddie said, crossing her arms over her chest that clearly defined her as a female now.
"Don't blame Pogue." Tyler said. "Blame mother nature for giving you those." Again, Caleb had tried to stop his friend and failed. Tyler joined Pogue in the tree.
"Don't even, Reid." Caleb said. Reid pretended to zip his lips shut.
"Madison I believe it's time I had the same talk with you that I had with Caleb two years ago." Evelyn said.
"Aww, do we have to?" Maddie asked, brushing her dark hair out of her face.
"Yes, I don't want you getting addicted to these powers as your father did." Evelyn said. All eyes snapped towards the tree as Pogue and Tyler fell out of it noisily. Maddie smiled triumphantly but the look died as she caught her mother's gaze. With a heavy sigh, she followed the older woman away from the boys so that she could get lectured.

"Whatcha got there Mad dog?" Caleb asked, watching his sister walk towards the car.
"My history class is going over to Egypt for two weeks." Maddie said.
"Cool." Caleb said. "Two weeks without you." Maddie smacked him. "So what's with the look then?"
"I'm gonna miss your birthday if I go." Maddie said. "That week before and the day of I'll be gone. We come back on the Tuesday after."
"Oh." Caleb said.
"I'll miss your ascension." Maddie said, somewhat whiney.
"Hey don't worry about it." Caleb said. "You'll get to see the guys ascend." Maddie rolled her eyes. "Come on, mom's gonna want to know about this and you only have two hours before your lessons."
"Right." Maddie said, nodding. She got into the car and read some of the information she had been given.
