Disclaimer/Author's Note: So this is my first Covenant story. Sadly I do not own any of the characters, accept a possible few Ocs in the future. No SLASH, no Romance, and tons of hurt boys. I can't help it, evils in my blood. Enjoy!

Dead Man Walking

The wind swayed through his blonde hair, lifting it up and sweeping it back, he kept his hands in his pockets, his shoulders somewhat tensed. Emotions of anger and frustration seeped through his facial features as he walked among his friends.

"Reid, you know what can happen if you use out in the open," The dark haired, older boy motioned towards him, "I don't think you even care."

"Oh come on, Caleb. It's not like he did anything too spectacular. No one noticed." A shy voice spoke up from behind the two.

"Maybe not this time, but what about the next, we all know he won't stop!" Caleb's hands flung up in the air, signaling defeat.

Reid stopped in his tracks, twirling to face Caleb, his hands reaching out to grab hold of the oldest son's jacket, "I'm right here, Danvers! Don't talk like I'm not fucking around!"

Caleb pushed the blonde back, his face contorting into a frown, "When you start deserving my respect, I'll talk to your face!"

Reid lunged towards him, ready to tackle him down when Tyler's hands caught him first, swinging him away from Caleb.

"Reid! Come on, man. Relax…" The soft blue eyes looked deep into the piercing blue ones, begging for peace. Reid huffed, and with a simple push, got Tyler off of him, and stormed off in the opposite direction.

"Reid!" Tyler made the motion to follow him, but Caleb put a hand against his chest.

"Let him cool down, he's impossible to help."

Pogue who managed to stay back from the sibling rivalry, jogged to catch up to the two other sons. "Where did Reid go off to this time?" Tyler sighed, and Caleb shook his head.

"Again huh?"

"Yeah… again." Caleb's voice was smooth against the rustling of the leaves on the ground as the boy's trailed off towards the dorms. He didn't understand why it had to be like this. Fights have been occurring more often the closer it got to Reid's ascension, Caleb could sense Reid using more often and it was a shame he couldn't do anything to make it clear. When Reid ascended, he'd be as good as dead.

Pogue clipped Caleb on the shoulder with the tips of his fingers, "What did he do this time? Lift up that chicks skirt again?"

"No, this time he managed to unbutton a girl's blouse in class." Caleb could hear Tyler's gentle chuckling beside him, and swatted the boy while trying to force his smile down.

Pogue's eyebrows raised, "Not bad, but not too bright either… In a classroom? So many people could've seen that."
"My point exactly…"

The boys arrived at the front door of the dorms, and Caleb trudged off towards his car yelling out a goodbye as the other two waved him off and made their way inside.

Author's Note: I know it was short, but let me assure you that the rest will be lengthier. I hope I did okay, feel free to review!! I apologize for any typos that weren't fixed. I'm trying not to use spell check and do it manually for my own good. Hopefully the boys were in character.
