A/N: This is my first Covenant fic. I've been reading other people's fics so I decided to write one myself. I hope you all like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Covenant; only the characters that are new are mine.

Prologue Part 1:

She was upstairs packing sadly. This had happened 6 years ago. Her mother couldn't deal with the magic anymore and had to retreat to her family's home in London. While her mother loved her father passionately, the magic in his blood sometimes overwhelmed her. She would reach a breaking point when she just had to leave him and recollect herself. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in", she called out. Her twin brother walked in. They were as identical as fraternal twins could be, except that her features were more feminine and softer than his.

"Do you need any help?" Tyler asked sadly. He didn't want his sister to go, but his mother was insisting. She said it would be good for Delilah to be abroad for the summer.

"Sure," Delilah said, she wanted to spend as much time with her twin as she could. Tyler and Delilah had packed up most of her stuff by the end of the day. They had just left out the things she would need for the next 3 days she would be staying in Ipswich. Tyler and Delilah were both 15 and had just finished their freshmen years at Spencer Academy. Their mother had cracked a few weeks earlier and announced to the family at dinner that she was going to London for the summer and wanted Delilah to go with her. Delilah didn't want to go. She loved her mom, but she had gotten even closer to Tyler over the school year and wanted to stay in Ipswich with him. She also had planned a fabulous summer with her best friend Audrey.

Delilah just couldn't understand why her mom was so stressed by the power. Tyler had inherited his powers on their thirteenth birthday, and Delilah loved it. She didn't know why her mom would have stayed so long wit her dad, or even married him in the first place, if the power caused her this pain. But her mom had explained to her, that even though she feared the power her husband, and now son, had, she loved the man. She could never leave him.

And this was her life. A dysfunctional family, that she loved and that loved her, a family secret that went back centuries, and depressing, lonely summer to look forward to. Three days passed, and Delilah was on her way to London.

Prologue Part 2:

It had been a year since Delilah Simms had left her home in Ipswich and traveled to London with her mother. They were only supposed to stay in London for the summer, but Delilah's mother, Charlotte, was not ready to return, so she enrolled Delilah in Kingston's School for Girls in London for the year. Delilah was furious with her mother, and decided to live in the dorms rather than at home with her. But her anger passed as she made friends and she came to enjoy school very much. She loved to learn, and was somewhat of a nerd.

The school year had ended, and even though Charlotte still wasn't ready to return home, Delilah was excited because Tyler was coming to visit. She had only seen her brother once during her time in London, and that was at Christmas when her father and Tyler came to visit. Tyler was also bringing with him his best friend Reid Garwin, which was also excited for Delilah because she hadn't seen any of her friends from home, and she had known Reid since practically birth. Reid had been staying with Tyler because his parents decided to take a second honeymoon to Egypt, and even thought Reid was 16, they didn't trust to stay alone for 3 weeks.

Tyler and Reid arrived at their London home on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and would be staying for two weeks. Delilah greeted with cries of joy, hugs, and enough happy tears for all of them.

"I'm so happy you are here!" She cried hugging them both a second time.

"Jeez," Reid exclaimed, "It's like you haven't seen a single person the whole time you've been here."
Delilah grinned at him, "Yeah well how would you feel if you were shipped to a foreign country and hadn't seen anyone from home in a year!"

At this point, Charlotte came into the foyer and greeted them with hugs and offers of food and drink, which the teenage boys happily accepted. While they ate, Delilah chattered away about school and how much she missed home, and couldn't wait to go back. Tyler rolled his eyes, but Reid was amazed at how fast she was able speak and how little breath she seemed to need to get it all out. He barely took in half of what she said. But a lot of that had to do with his lack of attention; he was much more focused on how much she had changed. She was only 16, but she looked older. Her hair had darkened and grown longer since the last time he saw her. And that was not all that had grown. He couldn't help himself from staring at her chest when she, or Tyler, weren't looking, but he didn't want to think of her in that way. He had to keep reminding himself who she was and after a few days of being around Delilah, he got used to her, and didn't pay as much attention to her changes, and he began to remember how good of friends they had once been.

Charlotte was thrilled to have Tyler in London, but was less thrilled with Reid. While she like Reid and thought he was a good friend for Tyler, she did not like how he interacted with Delilah. It was currently, harmless, and probably subconscious, flirting, but Charlotte didn't want Delilah to fall for any of the Sons of Ipswich. While she loved her husband, she didn't want Delilah to go through what she was going through. She decided that she would keep Delilah in London until she graduated, then she would move home to go to college, where she would meet a man who had no powers or family secrets and would give her a quiet, happy life.

Her plan didn't work though. Charlotte missed her husband, William, too much and she and Delilah moved back to Ipswich after her junior year. Delilah was 17 and would be going to Spencer Academy for her senior year of high school. She was thrilled and couldn't wait to move home and be with her friends again. Charlotte, however hadn't forgotten about the way Reid had looked at her daughter, and would do whatever she could to protect Delilah from the life she had chosen.
